Kulmiye Manifesto (Maanafiistada Kulmiye)
By Bashir Goth
The following lyric is a satirical piece that mirrors the political strategy of Kulmiye Party. It is a parody of the famous folklore lyric “Eddooy Waa Ayo” sung by Awdal women during weddings and festivals. We apologize to the folklore connoisseurs and to women artistes.

Heestan soo socotaa waxay muraayad u tahay hab siyaasadeedka ishaafalatada ah ee xisbiga Kulmiye rabo in uu tartanka doorashayooyinka ku galo dadkana taageero kaga galabsado. Tixdan dhicitaankeeda waxan ka soo jeemanay heesta la yidhaahdo “Eddooy Waa Ayo” ee caanka ku ah Gobolka Awdal ee haweenku ciyaarta kaga boodaan. Waan ka raali gelinaynaa haweenka iyo dadka dhaqanka daneeyaba
