Hey guys, I fell over this recoding this morning and felt like sharing it. I won’t say much about the video other than it was released yesterday and I think you and everyone you know should watch it. Share your thoughts here.
This is CNN’s inside Africa taking a look at the vibrant Somali community in Minnesota, United States. The report is in three parts, click continue to see the rest of the report.
Aduunyo.com has decided to go on the streets of UK and collect the various views of our people and bring it together for you. With Aduunyo.com’s first “One Question Documentary” they asked the question “How do you think Somalia will be in 2020 (10 years from now)?”
I didn’t realise that we were doing something right in Somalia, maybe there is purpose to all the chaos there? It’s good that this guy can see the bright side of what is happening in Somalia today.
“Think Again” is a thought-provoking film that follows a 12-year-old’s struggle between family honour and the facts about FGM. On discovering that her mom wants to take her back home to be ‘cut’ she explores the implications FGM has on her life and the misconceptions that explain why the practice persists in the 21st century.
“Think Again” depicts the cultural context in which FGM is practiced and the inter-generational conflict of holding down tradition in a new and foreign environment. The physical and psychological impact of FGM is ongoing, life-long and remains taboo to discuss even between mother and daughter. “Think Again” addresses a complex issue with sensitivity and creativity, breaking the silence and inspiring change.
Over the past several years, there’s been no shortage of talk about alternative energy, and its potential to change the world, the problem is that most of it is just that — talk. Well, recently a report that aired on 60 Minutes showed one alternative that is not only real, it’s already being tested by companies such as Google and eBay.
Bloom Energy are producing tiny fuel cell boxes they call “Bloom Boxes.” Two of these can apparently power a U.S. home (and only one for homes in countries that use less power). So how small are they? Watch the below video, each device isn’t much bigger than a standard brick.
What do you think? Could Bloom Boxes power the future?
IRIN films video on the crisis in Somalia, a country without government. A nation without a state, no rules, no institutions, no-one to protect and control the Somali people. They survive on their wits and their traditions – they endure. With no central authority, the link to the outside world has effectively been severed, Somalis feel forgotten.
Our fellow brother K’naan decided to speak out about the ongoing piracy in our oceans bordering Somalia. K’naan explains the other side of the story which is being neglected by the mainstream media. Hopefully it will shed some light on this issue. What are your views on this ?
This presentation shows how the Somali people worked and lived together in peace. The video brings hope for those who don’t see end to Somalia’s current chaos. The country can be great again just like it once was.
