I dont think this is an other western media propaganda. Really interesting.

The Sad faith of my birth place: Mr President: Why pray Now ?

Mr. Yusuf has to be very thankful lately. I wonder whether any of his sons are among these brave Young Somali government recruits. “That was a Joke, hehehehe”. Just take a look at the list of the people he appointed for his government. The recent Appointments I don’t think Mr. President knows any thing about appointing qualified candidates for a Government Offices or even worse "DIVERSITY". What an Irony.

Shame on you, Mr. President. I don’t think Mr. Yusuf understands what got Somalia to this point in the first place.

Key word: Mr. M. Siyaad Bare.

I feel left out at the MJ Power sharing and I am very upset. I guess i have to be a great admirer or relative to get any thing from this guy. I wonder if his daughters are single. “That was a Joke too, hehehehe”.

Saba Anglana - Jidka

I was impressed to hear Saba's interview on WBUR. Interesting to hear the new age version of the oldest Somali lullaby "Hoyo".
About the Interview, You could feel her nostalgic feelings towards Somalia even though she could
barely remember it. Lucky for her, she did not have see or experience the Dark Ages of Xamar. That is the only thing that comes to my mind when i try to get "High" of Xamar's nostalgic memories.

I really liked the why she related the lullaby "Hoyo" and how somali diaspora are feeling today.

This is Saba speaking.

“It's a sort of homesickness that Somali people have because of the Diaspora. It's just like they are orphans, they don't have their mother. And in a certain way, in a metaphoric way -- their mother is Somalia.”

Just makes you wonder what would Somalia be like if there was no Civil War.

So what is this fascination between these New Age Somali/Western Musicians (e.g. Saba and Kaynaan) and childhood Somali Lullabies?
Last i went to see a Kaynaan Concert at Fenway-Boston, he had a similar song if not the same lullaby. I think some one should Copy Right all the somali lullabies.
