My Labo Kumi On Al-Shabaab:

[Kolombo]

-They got their priorities all in the wrong order.

-They let their emotions rule their actions

-Like so many other Jihadi groups, their goals are short-term.

-They shun political strategizing, thus isolating themselves.

As much as I want them to succeed and eradicate Somalia from the Tigrays & their stooges, they will not accomplish this without rectafying what I listed among other things.

Islam was brought down by Allah, Allah does not need anyone to ensure the survival of his religion.

With time, Muslims must learn to adapt & transform their tactics.

I agree, thats why I dont support them. But what is labo kumi?

[Cawar]

Kolombo.. Its about time you realized what I have been arguing for the last several months.

Yet, you accused me of about everything in the book as to why I cant bring myself to support them..
Did you ever think I hated Islam or muslims for that matter??

Anyways, good for you to see the light.. I may see it soon about the TFG myself.

And its gonna be all back to square 1..unless Allah sends a miracle..which I doubt he will.


Ismahan, you dont even know lamo kumi??

War Al-shaydan are brainwashed kids.

They will attack even peacefully city they just came to Bardheere. But the good news is they are breaking down into groups and insha'allah soon they will be fighting each other.

[Cawar]

labo kumi = 2 cents

cawar..kaaley ma reer-xamar baad tahay? as in you grew up there?

No I am reer cadaado.

Of course ...born and raised in xamar.. for me thats the norm.. I dont even know anybody who isnt..in real life.

BTW.. 2 cents = labo taano to be exact

so laba kumi would be 2 dimes.

[Grant]

labo kumi= tuppence worth

Kolombo

The kumi I knew was ten cents. A tano was half of that. A shilling was 100 cents.

[Kolombo]

Cawar,

Taano & kumi ma ku soo gaartay?

I remember kumi, but not taano.


Grant,

I see them being auctioned on ebay every once in a while by ex-patriots such as yourself.

[Cawar]

Kolombo, how can you remember the Kumi and not the taano?

Anyways, by the time I had formed any memory..I think only the shilling was worth anything..though I dont remember what.

But those little pieces were around for a while ..infact there was a collection of old coins in our house..from the Italian era..
Its all gone now of course..thanks to AW.

Ismahan, for all you know..it could have meant some body parts.. a pair(lamo) ..you know.

cawarow,

If you were in 18 years in 1990, you should have used or KUMI should have been in the currency circulation.

[sadeboi]

cawar...cause you said lamo...which is a reer-xamar way of saying labo...well yea i know a lot of people raised there too...

but yea...it still implies my two-cent which is a phrase for my opinion...



Ismahan..ADEER anytime

[Cawar]

lol. The lamo part was directed at someone..

Xidig, all I remember is the shillin and nus-shillin.. I may have used the kumi as a kid..but cant remember.

And who said I was 18 at that time?? I wish..as faxyaasha iga wawen used to say I was younger..but only if I was a year or 2 older..ciil baa i qaban jiray..but gadaal baan ka soo gaaaray ....
