Welcome to Camel Cafe, the off topic thread for the Djiboutian Corner. Discuss anything off topic as in not related to projects, urbanism, and economic development.

Off topic threads bring in more activity to a forum so I always start these in newly created forums/subforums.


P.S. The name 'Camel Cafe' can be changed, I just couldn't think of a more creative name. :lol:

Camel cafe :lol: I doubt that's gonna last!


Congrats Djibouti, Ras Siyan in particular. You deserve to have a space dedicated to all your hard work.

Camel Caravan Rest Stop? Watering Hole.....I dunno. Im no good at this naming stuff.

Camel Cafe works for me though

Camel cafe :lol: I doubt that's gonna last!


Congrats Djibouti, Ras Siyan in particular. You deserve to have a space dedicated to all your hard work.

You do deserve this Ras. :yes:


Btw, Yosef can you sticky this?

^ stuck, it is :yes:

Congrats Ras and Djibouti.
I like the name. :cheers:

:lol: at Camel Cafe! I have one in mind, but this is fun, let's keep yours for a while Musicity!

Congrats Djibouti, Ras Siyan in particular. You deserve to have a space dedicated to all your hard work.

You do deserve this Ras. :yes:

Congrats Ras and Djibouti.
I like the name. :cheers:

Thanks guys!

Did the camel in my avatar inspire you Musicicty? :lol:

Did the camel in my avatar inspire you Musicicty? :lol:

Lol maybe :shifty: and I also wanted something that relates to all of Djibouti and also something that is unrelated to politics.

Funny meme

Congrats Djibouti! :cheer:


On behalf of Kenya,

PS
At first I thought the name (Camel Cafe) sounded offensive.:shifty:

Lol at camel café. That sure needs a change. I was thinking of *Salon de Khat* which translates as *Room for Qat* and that's something which every djiboutians is familiar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lGY8h_FuIE&feature=player_embedded) with.

Anyways, special thanks to Ras Siyan, Musiccity, Yosef and the rest for their hard works, I, speaking for all djiboutians, do appreciate it.

PS
At first I thought the name (Camel Cafe) sounded offensive.:shifty:

Hæ? what's so offensive about it? I ride my camel like a white man rides his horse. Ain't nothing to be ashamed of. Don't look down on my history and customs.

Camel Cafe? LAWL.

Lol at camel café. That sure needs a change. I was thinking of *Salon de Khat* which translates as *Room for Qat* and that's something which every djiboutians is .

That's a good name :yes:

I like the new layout,looks great!! It's easier for me to access the djibouti threads now,before I had the posts tagged djibouti bookmarked on my laptop.I'd like to thank Yosef,Musiccity and Ras for making the Djibouti section possible and everyone else who supported.:banana:

As for the name it's definitely going to need a change lol..it'll do for now,until we come up with something better,thats NOT salon de khat :lol:

Thread title is making me wanting some caano geel (camel milk).

You need to drink it authentically of course.

http://www.bartamaha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/qardho5.jpg

I propose Mabraz for the new name...Still a khat salon but hey, that's where the discussions and chatting takes place :lol: I like the term because it's in the Djibouti accent

Interesting name,I've never heard of that before ..Djiboutis and their khat LOL..I was thinking like desert cafe/lounge or Djibeauty cafe..

http://www.bartamaha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/qardho5.jpg

My family always saying how camel milk is soo good,I'll have to try it when I go to Djibouti.

You have to go deep into the country to have it authentically. :D

Yes, where those heated fadhi ku dirir discussions all the way to the AM take place. :cheers:

Djibeauty cafe..
Creative, I like that. ;) But it's cooler to have something native your country.

I also lol'd at camel cafe. :D

Hæ? what's so offensive about it? I ride my camel like a white man rides his horse. Ain't nothing to be ashamed of. Don't look down on my history and customs.In some parts of Kenya, people call Somalis "Ngamia" which translates to camel but always in offensive way.:lol:

Holy shit, never thought I'd see a Djibouti sub section

Congratulations! I hope this forum becomes a success :)

Holy shit, never thought I'd see a Djibouti sub section

Congratulations! I hope this forum becomes a success :)What do you think of having a Somali section within the Kenyan forum?:)

@Mz Djibouti, what exactly proves your djiboutianship? i mean i heard you're heard an afar and that? but who are you really? since we're 3 or 2 members in all, we need to know each other better. You have tell us something more spesific about you and your origins so we identify you as a real and certified djiboutian. For instance, me, I used to be a good client of quartier 2 :D, if you know what im talking about :P

I propose Mabraz for the new name...

Mabraz is cool but too arabic for my taste. Nonetheless, it seems you got the point, it has to include, or take in consideration, Khat :)

Everyone give your ideas, I'll make a poll and whichever one wins, that will be the name change.


(Mods: Can you delete the poll after it's closed?)

I don't know if a poll is needed, because it's only between 3 people. It's up to Ras Siya, goteia and mz djibouti to decide.. but ras deserves to have veto power :D

Well whatever you guys want :yes:

but ras deserves to have veto power :D

I see what you did there ;)

Your right it's better to have a name that's relates to something in Djibouti..lol the title too funny.

Creative, I like that. ;) But it's cooler to have something native your country.

I also lol'd at camel cafe. :D

Alright,first off I never knew there were other Djiboutians on this site,Ras seemed to be the ONLY one keeping the forum alive,up until the forum about whether or not we should have a sub-section under the Ethio forum,I thought he was the only Dj on here. As for me my nationality,too little too late,I've been on the forum for a few months not ONCE did you drop me a line to ask me a bit of where I'm from or anything,but now that I disclosed that I happen to also be Afar,after reading the comments on the the other thread,which btw no TRUE djiboutian would make such comments.To be honest I find this "verifyin" my Djiboutiness to be comical.Just because you said your from quartier 2,does not verify to me your Djiboutian either,you can easily just searched up the districts in Djibouti and chose one.:)

*edit

I've been on the forum for a few months not ONCE did you drop me a line to ask me a bit of where I'm from

I just did. But yeah you're right, its too late. Not that its comical to know your djiboutianness, its only because of the history of members using usernames like Djibouti in this forum that happen to be confusing, hence why i never took you seriously. You're a newby, so you don't understand how the game is played here, i can see why you're frustated. But i wish you good luck and, welcome to club (its never too late).

By the way, you failed my test, Im not from Quartier 2, the goal was what happens there, and the result will be kept to us reer magaal who conduct such surveys.

but now that I disclosed that I happen to also be Afar,after reading the comments on the the other thread,which btw no TRUE djiboutian would make such comments

Glad to know, time for diversity! Arcib ke SSC i miqindhay! (My Afar is limited, hope that was right:))

lol I'm not frustrated,..lmao@ "you don't understand how to play the game",it's not that serious just a forum lol..but alright cool,I kinda get why you asked tho,with the usernames history and all.Truth is I don't care for no test,I don't think people need to prove anything to strangers behind a computer,anyway thanks for the belated welcome.

Glad to know, time for diversity! Arcib ke SSC i miqindhay! (My Afar is limited, hope that was right:))

:) your writing skill pretty good,I barely even know the language,both my parents can speak it too.

^^ Peace and love Mz Djibouti :hug:

I don't care for no test,I don't think people need to prove anything to strangers behind a computer

We have to keep the trolls at bay. Too many pretenders online, thats the wonder of the net ;)

Ps: you're still one of them :baeh3:

Camel Cafe :sleepy:

What do you think of having a Somali section within the Kenyan forum?:)

I disagree it should be be with the Sudanese forum

I like camel cafe it sound real african.congoratzzzzz Djibouti

Hmm.. well what about Frankencense Inn?

Probably something Somali is best....with plenty of Q's and X's in it :laugh:

^^ Peace and love Mz Djibouti :hug:

bahahaha maybe,maybe not j/k...;)

p.s. I just realized what you meant by "reer magaal",I thought it was a tribe at first lmao,but you meant city people..so am I!!lol

Mabraz is cool but too arabic for my taste. Nonetheless, it seems you got the point, it has to include, or take in consideration, Khat :)

The Mafrish! Please dont tell me this is strictly reer waqoyi term.

What do you think of having a Somali section within the Kenyan forum?:)



I disagree it should be be with the Sudanese forum

Neither will happen as long as I'm a mod!

^^ lol, B.G. wants everything with Sudan

Hey Xusein, I asked the admins to put a link to the Djib section like this one: http://i44.tinypic.com/213ghgz.jpg

Do you think its something that's possible? Ive seen it in a few other forums like in Euroscrapers (for Caucasus region)...

Also, what do you guys think of that idea Mz.Djibouti, GOETIA, & other Djib forumers? Good? bad?

I think Ive shown it to Ras already

It doesn't look bad..maybe have it say just Djibouti.

As for the name of this general thread,how's the name "Saline" most Djiboutians know what it is,it's a cinema they have the comedy skit there.One of the very few memories I have of Djibouti,my grandparents house was literally steps away from that cinema.What u guys think?

^^ Salinka is too feminist for my taste. Only chicks go there. Lol at you taking us to female places. That's wrong and is quite the opposite of what we're looking for. Damn wrong LOL.

The Mafrish! Please dont tell me this is strictly reer waqoyi term.
Sounds gay. And no its not a waqoyi thing, im waqoyi myself and never heard that. At least majiilis is decent enough, but mafrish holly shit, Thats khaniis warya isla xisho, i think its reer your people term [pun intended :D]

We should let kitsilano have a say (you know, when she get tired of the self imposed exile ;))

Sounds better than Mabraz! Bal iska dhaaf waryaa!

Yosef, I don't think it should be a problem to PM the admin to add that to give the Djiboutians some more publicity.

Perhaps 'Qolka Sheekada' or 'Qolka Lugu Nasto' :D

What do you think of having a Somali section within the Kenyan forum?:)

No thanks.

I'd rather hold out for a Somalia section or HOA section where one day Somalia can be included.

I disagree it should be be with the Sudanese forumMost Somalis are familiar with Kenya than Sudan and besides we have a very large community growing at an alarming rate.

No thanks.

I'd rather hold out for a Somalia section or HOA section where one day Somalia can be included.

No problem.

They could have also separated the HOA from East Africa so that Ethiopia is not within the East Africa part but in the HOA.

Perhaps 'Qolka Sheekada' or 'Qolka Lugu Nasto' :D

The two differs from each other, the second is the baby making room and that's actually raaho :lol:

Warya come with something original, like Mr Eritrean's MJ accusation :lol:
No thanks.

+1

Somalia will never be under any other country. That's impossible and unacceptable. Once Somalia gets its own forum, we might move there inshallah. :ohno:

So de we have to speak French? lol

Just saw this today on Facebook

^^ :lol:

music, oui oui, il est obligatoire de parler en français http://forum.susan-boyle.com/images/smilies/whistling.gif

Camel Cafe is alright, it made me laugh a little:lol:

I like this name though 'Kalaay fariiso sheekay':lol: If ya'll dont want it, we'll have it for the Somalia section when we get it:nuts:

Anyway congratz on the new section:banana:

lol well men also go to the Saline not just women,I knew someone would make a comment about the name sounding feminine ughh :mad:

Hello Djiboutians :-) this is a bit odd but it wil do until skyscrapercity gives you your own section. Its all good.

Welcome! Yupp it's good so far.

SSC Africa's newest baby (subforum) is doing great so far! We need to keep nurturing it until it can walk. :yes:

Why does it say ''Djibouti en français'' when most posts here are in English?

^^ its kind of uncessary. If we want to talk in french, we can do so. No need for this type of title. :ohno:

Agreed, it should be removed.

@Ras Siyan, what do you think?

^^ I don't mind it removed

Ce forum djiboutien est une bonne idée, mais pourquoi avez-vous mis tous les titres de threads en anglais ?? Sur SSC les titres de threads nationaux sont dans la langue nationale locale (allemand dans le forum allemand, français dans le forum français, etc.). Avec des titres en anglais il y a des tas d'internautes djiboutiens et plus largement francophones qui ne découvriront jamais votre forum, parce qu'ils font leurs recherches sur Google en français, donc Google ne les dirigera pas vers votre forum.

Arhiba.. I like it!

Déjà bienvenue sur le sous-forum Djiboutien qui ne date de quelque jours seulement. La plus part de ces threads sont en anglais car ils étaient dans les sections africaine avant d'etre déplacés ici après la création de ce sous-forum.

La plupart des articles dans les threads sont en francais et en anglais. Nous comptons rendre la section entièrement bilingue une fois les différentes sections (Projects & developments, Photo Gallery ect) sont mises en place pour attirer plus de membres.


P.S: Le francais n'est pas langue nationale a Djibouti

La plus part de ces threads sont en anglais car ils étaient dans les sections africaine avant d'etre déplacés ici après la création de ce sous-forum.
Rien ne vous empêche de réécrire les titres en français.

I actually like camel cafe more it's vert unique :( bur no one will listen to me :(

On pourrait le rebaptiser "La chamellerie". :D

PS : Les vaches vont dans l'étable, les brebis vont dans la bergerie, les chameaux vont dans... ? :?

^^ I don't mind it removed

So who is able to edit it?

"Camel cafe"

:rofl::rofl:

What is that?? :lol:

The new camel cafe is attracting everyone.unlike Sudanese general chat :cripes:

^^ it will eventually get dry after the creation effect ;)

off topic: dancing to this song right now with only a towel on. LOL

-VlEH6hdU7M

^^:lol: i wish the Sudanese general chat have this creation effect when it was first created :( :cry:

^ aight, aight, i'll drop by and say hi. But im sure it experienced the same effect, though you were not there then :baeh3:

Arhiba would do,it has a good meaning at least,despite the fact it's the poorest area in the capital.

^ aight, aight, i'll drop by and say hi. But im sure it experienced the same effect, though you were not there then :baeh3:

You should've chosen a catchy name BG! lol

^^ I think so too :lol:

I can't stop listening to Whitney tunes tonight..now playing

^^ RIP, we will always love you!

You should've chosen a catchy name BG! lol

Lol i know too but i choosed Sudanese general chat because the subforum didn't get its new layout so :dunno: i was thinking of The Nile Cafe this is cool

yo Ras, You should promote the site, dog. Get the words out on your facebook, or on Djibnet; invite them afars here LOL. their ramblings might help keep the thing alive, til someone fills it with updates. Their complaints are to our advantage. We need a bit of dramas. Ya feel me ;)

Djibnet? lol

The Sudanese general chat titel have been changed everyone go to see it

I am trying to recruit without much success. 2 people registered (Destinee and Fluid of Djibnet) but looks like they haven't posted anything yet. I definitely don't want all the Djibnet trolls to end up here, just specific members that would enrich us (like those mentioned)

I get your point, but seriously, the Arhotabba team has nothing positive to contribute here, for them, it's all about Afar vs Somali, nothing positive can come outta that. I rather have a few serious posters than invite trolls from Djibnet and Arhotabba (and u know how much trolls these forums got :lol:)

Beijing is still cold!

How is Beijing? Would you recommend to visit there?
My ex-uni mate keeps trying to persuade me to visit, but I'm not too sure about it

^^ Do visit, I hear it's amazing

Beijing is still cold!

Lucky you, Kuala Lumpur is hot with temperatures ranging between 32 to 34 all year long :bash:

Ras Siyan long live Kuala Lumpure ;) Malaysia is nice place

:lol: Somali ofcourse

Lugha ghareeba



Did you understand what i said ?

:lol:Is that Somali?

Nah I dont really understand what you're trying to type

No it is Arabic lol!

Lugha=language

Ghareeba=weird

That's mean what i said the language is weird i thought you would've known

:lol:I thought it was Somali:bash:
I know what Luqha means, its similar to 'Luqad' which is somali for language also, hence why I thought you was typing Somali:lol:

I had no clue what the other word means though, I thought you was trying to say 'Gareeb', which is Somali for next door neighbour:lol:

Why's it a weird language?

It's just sounds a bit weird lol now you know what ghareeba means or ghareeb which means the same thing

Yes I do :okay:

Im sure as a Arabic speaker you can understand 1 or 2 of the words we used, such as 'Lakiin' :lol:

Lugha ghareeba

I thought it meant "close language" (ghareeb= close).

Weird? Somali is a beautiful language with one of Africa's richest literature. I'm not saying that just because it's my language tho :lol:

I know what Luqha means, its similar to 'Luqad' which is somali for language also, hence why I thought you was typing Somali:lol:

I had no clue what the other word means though, I thought you was trying to say 'Gareeb', which is Somali for next door neighbour:lol:

Both luqa and ghareeb are Arabic loan words...I don't understand why so many Arabic terms are used while they are their equivalent in Somali (Af for language and jaar or daris for neighbor). I intentionally avoid using Arabic terms tho, to some extend though because the Djibouti accent has the most Arabic loan words.

Yeah I know. I usually say 'af' rather then Luqad and 'Jaar' instead of 'gareeb'.
I didn't know that the jibouti accent had the most arabic loan words, interesting.

Somali is indeed a very beautiful language:cheers: Boy-gaga is just ghareeb:)

Ras Siyan qareeb means close but ghareeb or ghareeba means weird

Yes I do :okay:

Im sure as a Arabic speaker you can understand 1 or 2 of the words we used, such as 'Lakiin' :lol:
Yeah there are a alot of words taken from Arabic lakiin means but right ?

Maybe i am.ghareeb :shifty:

Does jaar means neighbor ?

Does jaar means neighbor ?

Yes.

Yeah there are a alot of words taken from Arabic lakiin means but right ?

Yeah thats right. But like Ras-Siyan said we also have Somali alternative words for every Arabic loan word we use.

Somali is a very rich language. For example there are over 40 Somali words for the word 'camel' :lol:

:crazy: i have no doubts that the Somali language have a lot of culture i have dozens of Somali friends here in Saudi Arabia and i notice and listen to them when the speak there language they also explained to me a lot of Somali literature but i meant weird by saying got it

I didn't know that the jibouti accent had the most arabic loan words, interesting.

It does, few examples in my head now:

We say makhsin instead of qol for room
Malqaacad instead of qaado for spoon
Makhadad instead of barkimo for pillow
Shookad instead of fargeeto for fork
Sharaab instead of cabitaan for drink

For some reason, lot's of Arabic loan words especially in household items...Plus of course, lot's of French words :(

Ras Siyan qareeb means close but ghareeb or ghareeba means weird

Oh ok, I see the difference now. Lots of letters have close pronounciation in Arabic, one of the things that I found most difficult in Arabic. Like wtf with the 5 D and 2 S for example?

lol this true..a typical djiboutian will mix somali,arabic and french in one sentence sometimes..some even afar..it's so bad sometimes that you don't even know what language a word is from lol

^ :lol:

Reer Waqooyi folks also say the above, minus the underlined one..
Never heard of the word 'Qaado' though.

^^ Qaado is the standard Somali term for spoon

Why not? China is a country you gotta visit while you still on earth:yes:!! Its gonna get warmer in 2 month.I see some change already ...

^^ Do visit, I hear it's amazing

Yeah I remember how many acted like Shetan was running around the lunch room in school every time pork was being served, most of the Muslims I grew up with were Turks. Nowadays, I see them pop bottles in the club. But I'm sure that they aren't touching pork. :lol: It would probably be different for some if they weren't raised in the west though.

As for me, as a Christian, I'm supposed to stay a virgin until marriage. Yeah good luck with that where I'm at, its damn near impossible.

We are all human beings after all you know but we Muslims shouldn't take it as an excuse ;) i drinked alcohol in my life all.of.them.were.accidents lol

The Turks and Iranians are infamous for that once they hit the west:nuts:

Somalis are definitely among the most conservative Muslims here, BUT, the majority of those that are raised here, have indeed swallowed the pill of "westernization". :D

There must be something in the Scandinavian water:lol:

Somalis in Scandinavia especially Sweden are known to be on the wild side compared to their counterparts else where in the west :nuts:

to Reer Djibouti congrats on you forum but I got to ask isn't it kinda bizarre that your forum is under Ethiopia.

OMGGG..no wonder,I've been trying to call my family in Djibouti,but it wouldn't go through,I lost soo much minutes on my card..i thought i was typing in the number wrong,so i sent them a email. How come they changed it? Thanks BTW

Lucky your going back to Djibouti,must be exciting,looking forward to some pics!!

I heard Djbouti is hotter than Sudan but couldnt believe it.

I know what you mean. But I've been Japan before and didn't even notice! Everyone was lovely (but might have been cursing me out in their own language, wouldn't know). Was great fun tho

:lol: I didn't know that.

Scandinavian Somalis have bad rep for being wild even if it is probably exaggerated

^ Now Japan is a place I've always wanted to go. I'll definitely entertain the idea of flying off to China. But my hooyo is also putting me off it. You know how Somali mother's are like 'ala ba'aay indoyarahu eyaha ban cuunan, yara ku cuunin':lol::bash:

No problem lol why ?

Lol nevermind bro :)

I still can't get my head around why the Djibouti section would be/should be placed as a sub-forum in the Ethiopian section... bizarre.

^^ Qaado is the standard Somali term for spoon



True :lol:

LOl i've never heard of Qaado... ilama aha inuu eraygaasi 'standard' yahay. Erayada kale ee loo istaclaamo qaado/spoon maxay yihiin ?

Japanese people are super friendly and respectful, only thing I didn't like was the food. I'm not into sea food, so that was a problem, until we found a little brazilian steak fast-food place. Eating there felt like heaven after a week of japanese food. :D

:rofl:
It's true and would love to visit China. Always been so interested in those countries. I had those problems but after a few years, it's not that big a deal anymore. She always offers alternatives ... so say I want to Brazil, she'll say "Go Sweden, we have family there" or I want to go visit Israel, she'll offer Australia :lol:
I never try to fathom hooyo, she is what she is.

My thought is might be a mayonnaise or some kind of dressing btw i tasted injera about 5 days ago :) my dad love the habesha food unlike my mom who hates to try something as she call it 'weird' lol when i taste it at the first i liked but after a few bites my stomach start to hurt a bit :nuts::nuts: but i give it from 6/10 :cheers:

:lol:It looks delicious. Somehow I can smell it from the picture you post it.

So,two of my cousins are coming from Djibouti to attend University here. I'm pretty excited to see them,but my mom worried tho,which is understandable.

I know you are talking about them going to Canada but what universities are there in Djibouti?

Djibouti has one University I know about,people prefer the ones in Canada,France etc tho.

^^ That's because our only university sucks :cripes:

Omg I was hoping it wasn't the only one :cripes: and yea that most be the reason,my uncle/cousins study in France,Belgium and Italy.What exactly is wrong wit the university btw?

^^ A lot is wrong with it. But like the rest of the country, corruption and mismanagement are the main issues. Now the whole public education sector that is getting worse apparently.

wow,they need to get it together..they can't even manage ONE university properly,that's sad.

^^ Thats our incompetent government

No private unis? In Somalia, all of them are private.

No private unis? In Somalia, all of them are private.

No unfortunately...Sometimes I really feel the government doesn't want a robust private sector to emerge at all. It's like they want everything to come under them, so that they keep their grip on everything. Private companies must pay some under the table to an official so that they get protected, you don't have that, you just don't operate. I am so shocked and frustrated by what I'm seeing since I came back. Corruption is generalized and mismanagement is the norm and I'm not exaggerating wallahi. It's frustrating :bash:

I'm not a hardcore capitalist nor do I lean libertarian politically but this is one of the things that I hate about government, it's too damn bureaucratic at times and in many African countries, it's like a gang with power. They don't let entrepreneurs do what they can. One of the reasons why I need to get to the motherland before the government gains too much power and starts making rules that make it harder to start businesses, I think.

There needs to be some serious changes made,the gov't gets billions in port fees,and yet the poverty is widespread in the country..thats messed.I believe the same party is in power since independence,It's time we get a new president in office,one that actually cares for the well being of their country citizens.

Mouvance islamiste

Arrestation de quatre français suspectés d’appartenir à un réseau ‘’Djihadiste’’

Quatre personnes de nationalité française sont actuellement détenues par les services de police à Djibouti où elles sont suspectées d’avoir tenté de rejoindre les mouvements djihadistes au Yémen ou en Somalie. Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête fournis à la presse par la Police ; les quatre suspects, qui sont actuellement interrogés, vont être expulsés vers la France.

Ces quatre personnes, trois hommes et une femme ; cette dernière étant l’épouse du leader du groupe, étaient arrivées à Djibouti le 14 mars dernier en provenance d’Addis-Abeba. Afin de faire perdre leur trace, ils ont fait un long détour ; passant de la France à l’Egypte, puis Addis-Abeba et finalement Djibouti.

Déjà suivis et signalés par les services de renseignement français comme pouvant faire partie d’un réseau d’une mouvance islamiste, le groupe a passé une quinzaine de jours à Djibouti en tentant des se fondre avec la masse des fidèles et en se rendant d’une mosquée à l’autre dont celle située à proximité de la maternité ‘’Dar Al Hanan’’ ou de la cité ‘’Barwako’’.

Ils dormaient même dans les mosquées après les causeries religieuses et les prières. Quant à la femme ; elle se faisait héberger chez l’habitante souvent la femme d’un pieux musulman rapproché par les Djihadistes mais qui ne se présentaient qu’en paisibles prêcheurs de la bonne foi religieuse et venus de très loin pour prier ensemble et côtoyer leur frères dans l’Islam.

Cette dernière se levait cependant tous les jours pour la prière de l’aube, elle passait d’un quartier à l’autre intriguant plus d’une personne.

Ayant tenté une première fois, mais sans succès, de trouver une embarcation pour se rendre au Yémen et se diriger dans la région de Damar où s’activent les groupes islamistes radicaux ; ces derniers ont fini par choisir une autre option pour s’évaporer dans la nature.

Passer par la Somalie pour soit rejoindre les combattants islamistes de Somalie ou tenter de rejoindre le Yémen via Bossasso ou un autre petit port somalien. Ils ont loué un véhicule tout terrain le 4 avril dernier et franchi la frontière en direction du Somaliland.

N’ayant pas pu bénéficier du soutien d’un guide ou d’un passeur et ne connaissant pas manifestement pas la région ; leur véhicule s’est enlisé dans le lit asséché d’une rivière. C’est là que le groupe a été intercepté et appréhendé le 5 avril par des policiers du Somaliland.

Dés les premières interrogations, il s’est avéré qu’ils n’étaient pas en possession de leur papier d’identité et ont déclaré simplement ‘’qu’ils trouvaient en vacance’’ mais ‘’avec un véhicule volé’’, selon les enquêteurs.

Le ministère Djiboutien de l’Intérieur a précisé dans un communiqué ‘’qu’en raison de leur comportement suspect et dans le cadre des mesures préventives visant à annihiler les activités d’organisations criminelles, ces quatre personnes étaient placées sous surveillance policière’’.

‘’Ces quatre personnes ont enfreint les instructions de la Police Nationale en se rendant illégalement et sans document de voyage sur le territoire du Somaliland’’ ajoute le communiqué.

Les autorités de Hargueissa ont ensuite remis les quatre suspects aux autorités Djiboutiennes lesquelles coordonnent actuellement avec l’Ambassade et le Consulat de France à Djibouti leur expulsion vers Paris.

Djibouti to deport four French nationals

(Reuters) - Djibouti said on Thursday it would deport four French nationals detained as they tried to cross into Somaliland illegally.

The Red Sea state said it had placed the four under surveillance after they entered Djibouti, a former French colony hosting France's largest military base in Africa, from Paris on March 18 and began acting suspiciously.

With police in pursuit, the three men and one woman tried on Wednesday to drive into Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, only to get stuck in a dry river bed.

"They were not carrying identification, but said that they were here on vacation," Mohamed Hassan Bu'ul, governor of Somaliland's Salal region, told Reuters by telephone.

Somaliland handed the four back to Djibouti, which said in a statement that it was "in the process of organizing their expulsion".

It was not immediately possible to reach the French embassy in Djibouti.

13/04/2012 - Décès de M. Jean-Paul Noël Abdi, président de la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains (LDDH)

C'est avec émotion que nous venons d'apprendre le décès de M. Jean-Paul Noël Abdi, président de la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains (LDDH), survenu vendredi à Marseille, en France.

Fervent défenseur des droits humains, le défunt a fait ses études à Grenoble et a milité au sein de la Fédération africaine et l’organisation des étudiants somalis en France.

De retour à Djibouti, il a travaillé à la Caisse de prestations sociales (CPS, l’actuel Organisme de Protection Sociale (OPS), tout en militant au sein de la Ligue populaire africaine pour l’indépendance (LPAI).

Nommé directeur adjoint du Cabinet de M. Abdallah Mohamed Kamil, président du Conseil de gouvernement du TFAI en 1976, après la chute de M. Ali Aref Bourhan, il sera chargé de procéder à l’"africanisation" des cadres de l’administration dans le cadre du processus d’indépendance du pays.

Au bout de six mois, il devient membre de l’Assemblée nationale et secrétaire du bureau, d’abord sous la présidence d’Ahmed Dini puis, après sa nomination à la primature, sous celle de Saad Warsama.

De 1981 à 1989, il a été secrétaire de la Commission permanente de l’Assemblée nationale, avant d’assumer les fonctions de secrétaire du bureau de l’AN pendant 5 ans, de 1992 à 1997.

Rappelons que la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains est membre de la Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l'Homme (FIDH). Elle jouit également d'un statut d'observateur auprès de la Commission africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples (CADHP).


Jean-Paul Noël Abdi passed away...Very sad :ohno:

Beautiful! We're one indeed

Jean-Paul Noël Abdi passed away...Very sad :ohno:
:ohno:

May he rest in peace. He will not be forgotten as he is probably one of the founding fathers for a free and democratic Djibouti. His values and principles should be carried further.

^^ I was really saddened by the news of his death. I only hope they bring his body back home and not bury him in Marseilles where he passed away. I admired him because he believed in what he was doing, he was sent to jail countless times, they made him broke, humiliated him yet he never gave up his principles and dream of a democratic Djibouti. It hurts that he passed away in these conditions, without seeing his dream realized.

When I heard, I said "Allah ha u naxaristo" and I had people saying you can't say that coz he was a Christian bla bla bla...it angered me lot that some people just remember him as a Christian and not the hero he was.

He won't be forgotten

Thanks Yoniii. The starting salary is modest but I expected so when I applied at the private sector, unlike the public sector, working hours are longer and salaries lower. But at least you learn something, you do something whereas in the public sector/administration you sip coffee all day and assist powerless to corruption and mismanagement. I didn't want that, so I didn't even apply at a single government institution.

No discount handsome because if we did we'd go bankrupt :lol: A lot of our clients are Ethiopian or operate in Ethiopia.

First job usually starts under your expectations if you dont have connections, but if you do you will only get higher and higher :D

But congrats, bro. Soon you will be riding me in your new car :naughty:

But congrast, bro. Soon you will riding me in your new car :naughty:
