imaanaya dalka aabihiis ilaa iyo inta loo doortay in uu ku biiiro aqalka
senatarada sanadkii 2004ta.
 
Wadadda aada tuulada qoyskiisa ee Nyangoma Kogalo ee galbeedka dalka
Kenya ayaa howlo badan laga qabtay, iyadood dadka deegaankuna ay ku
mashquulsan yihiin in ay cowska ka guraan wadada dhinacyadeeda.
 
Ardeyda dhigata dugsiga ku yaala deegaanka ayaa iyana xafidyay hees ay
rabaan in ay ku soo dhawaayaan mudahana.
 
Mr. Obama ayaa ah sinitarka kaliya ee madowga ah ee ku jira aqalka
odayaasha waxaa loo arkaa in uu yahay xidig u soo baxay xisbiga
Dimuquraadiga.
 
Mr. Obama ayaa la filayaa in uu maanta booqasho ku tago dalka Kenya, ka
hor inta uusan booqan todobaadka dabayaaqadiisa galbeedka dalka.
 
Wariyaha BBCda Muliro Telewa ayaa sheegaya in Mr. Obama ayaa ayeeydiis,  
Sarah Xussein Obama marka oo aan afka Ingiriisiga ku hadal looga turjumi
doonaa. Waxayna wariyaha u sheegtay in uu baran doono afka Lu'aha ee

Somali info considered for TV bulletin boards
LEWISTON - Local cable access television could devote an hour each week to  
delivering community messages in Somali.
 
An advisory committee for Great Falls TV is helping local Somalis create slides
providing information on the community access channel in Lewiston, Auburn
and Lisbon. That's channel 11 on Time-Warner and Channel 2 on Oxford
Networks.
 
Phil Nadeau, deputy city administrator in Lewiston, said it could be a good way
to get information out to Somalis.
 
"For example, it could be a good way to tell people about the winter parking
bans," Nadeau said. "It would be nice for them to know what the requirements
are, where they can and cannot park, and how that changes if a snow
emergency is declared."
 
Great Falls TV runs a community bulletin board on that channel. Slides are
available to any nonprofit group. Groups may prepare their own slides on
Microsoft PowerPoint or have Great Falls staff create them.
 
General Manager Philip Larlee said his staff has a problem typing slides in
Somali, since none of them speak the language.
 
"So we've a need someone from the community who will be responsible for
creating the slide, and we also need to verify what they say independently,"
Larlee said.
 
The city and GFTV formed a planning committee to find someone willing to do
the work. That group was scheduled to meet Saturday at the B-Street
Community Center. Empower Lewiston has agreed to provide a computer for
the work.

The UN refugee agency says fear of further
fighting in Mogadishu is behind the influx of more
Somali refugees entering northeast Kenya.
 
Emmanuel Nyabera is a spokesperson for the  
UNHCR. From Nairobi, he spoke to VOA English to
Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua about the
refugee movements.
 
�The situation is that since the beginning of this
year, we have received around 18,000 new
Somali refugees coming into Kenya to the Dadaab
refugee camp. Initially, some of them were
saying they are coming in because of drought that
affected that part of the country. But of late, we’
ve been receiving almost a hundred every day. A
majority of them are coming from Mogadishu
through Kismayo into Dadaab, claiming that they
are running away because of the conflict in
Mogadishu.”
The Union of Islamic Courts militias seized control
of Mogadishu in June but continue to fight with
what�s described as a �loose”�alliance of warlords
that had been in control of the city for many
years.
