"democracy" in shambles. it was a fake name used by clannist diaspora to win recognition for their stupid project but today everyone can see it how fake it was. there is nothing called democracy in somaliland. that is why Puntland is taking its time to implement this sham European process because we have a better way of guaranteeing constituents rights and that is what we did in 2014. Abdiweli beat Faroole by one vote. that Puntland election was so transparent, so fair that not a single dispute came out. niyoow we pray for the people of somaliland that there is no bloodshed. this is not looking good niyoow.

There are clear indications that this election could be rigged through different means. Here are the main reasons that this election could compromised in a way that hasn't been done before. 1- Law voter turn out of the actual registered voters. This could mean many things. In many regions the difference between those who registered and those who collected their cards are huge. Almost 30% of those registered did not collect their cards. Then, among those who collected their cards few months ago, another 15 % did note show up to vote. In fact in Awdal 20% of those who had cards did not vote. In some regions 40% of those registered few months ago did not show up. 2- Where are these cards? Did Somaliland election commission locate these cards of the absentee registered voters? Why these voter cards are showing up every where?. Even Puntland had some sequestered voter ID cards. Puntland authority could intercept ballot boxes intended for the polling stations or those filled with ballots, yet they got actual voter ID cards. Isn't the voter ID cards belong to the individual , and unless you take away from the person who owns, how could they got?. Puntlnd alone had almost up to 60 cards. Are these cards traveling by themselves? These questions must be answered by the commission. 3- Why buy voting cards from the poor people and for what purpose.? The Somaliland police had intercepted hundred of cards bought from the streets for as law as $10 dollars and as high as $100. All indications are that the ruling Kulmiye is behind these schemes. What is the use of these cards?. did they discard them or use them for nefarious reasons? 4-- The so called bio-metric system might be beaten by insiders. After people marked their ballots and put inside the box, there should never be disputed. Actual recounts could easily indicate who voted and for whom, yet there are reasons for people to be suspicious. In many places the biggest threat is parallel ballot boxes that could replace the actual boxes. In Gabiley, Hargeisa and western Sanaag where Waddani party representatives were missing , Kulmiye paid escorts were the only ones who were left alone to transport. As Maakhiri ,here in SOL indicated ,these systems might not be as good as advertised. 5-Waddani rallies were bigger than Kulmiye in many places. If you look the party rallies , especially in the east , the Waddani rallies were bigger and stronger. It seemed the whole country was Waddani, yet we see close calls in Togdheer and many other places. 6- Mohamed Aw Said factor. This businessmen has monopoly in Somaliland fiber-optic internet access in Somaliland and he want to remain the sole provider of LTE network with modern features. Many other companies tried to inter the market by trying to pull fiber-optic cables through Oman but was rejected. In fact the minister who signed that deal was fired immediately. Through another telecom company he is making a killing. He is charging hundreds of dollars for internet access. Folks, this man could buy anyone for the right price. He was In Awdal with big cash and he did distribute to elders and others. If I were the opposition, I would check the movements of huge money being transferred from Djibouti to Hargeisa or individual accounts in Dahabshiil and Dubai. I will watch closely the commission and it's chairman. One thing this election thoufght is that everyone could be bought for the right price. 7- Gabiley must be disqualified. I am not making this up, but in Gabiley there are no more functioning government their. In the Last municipal election they literally brought the ballot boxes and divided among the clans in secluded building . It had four mayors for the last seven years. Even one of them made " Tahriib" or could not be found. Every box and ballot from that region must be investigated. Make sure ballot boxes are not replaced with Kulmiye boxes. This people are really crooks. Finally, the tradition of Kulmiye will not disappear. This people got rich of the public purse and will not satisfy unless they got the whole " Xeedho". If there was " Booli-Qaran" houses in Mogadishu in the late eighties , the Hargeisa one is much bigger and daring. Unlike those in Mogadishu, they are not even hiding. They have sold every public house, school yard, park, and even the national theater built by the Chinese. Folks, they will not let go these honey combs. If they lose power all that ill gotten gains might be scrutinized. for these people , it is do or die. They will do anything to hold to power., besides, throughout their tenure they had never done a fair election. If a change does not come to Somaliland, expect bad things from these bad actors.

Suldaanka, I take back all the numbers that i posted . There were too many changes to be reliable. I apologize to the SOL readers for posting unverified results.

Waraaqaha nimaka daabacay hore ayaa looga hadlay oo dhaqaalaha ololaha Kulmiye lacag badan bay ku bixiyeen si ay u illashadaan " Berbera contract". If there is no voter list in every polling station, then this whole process was misleading. They said that it is bio-metric that matches the vote, the ID and the registered voter list. I knew there was something wrong when they told people that they must take their ID card within two weeks or that card will be lost for ever. These Id cards should have been kept in major centers and people could come when they have time. If you were sick, traveling or nomad out of reach, your registered Id is taken by the commission. If the election is away two or three months why not give ample time to come and collect their cards. It was a crooked strategy to disenfranchise thousands of people who hated the ruling oligarch.

The commission chairman could not explain how these stamped books ended up in the streets of Hargeisa and possession of the citizens. Here is how citizens got these pages or full books of ballots: After their single ballot was stamped and they proceeded to the ballot box, Many Kulmiye supporters, especially party operatives pulled these pages from their hidden pockets and filled the boxes with these pre-stamped and printed papers. These papers were printed in UAE and given to Kulmiye operatives. Some decent people who were given these papers could not do the unthinkable actions of stealing and lying, and provided to the Waddani officials about these crimes. According to Waddani officials, these papers were found in Gabiley , Hargeisa, Berbera and Borama. Despite all these rigging, Kulmiye might still lose the election. All you have to do is implement forensic investigation to match the actual voters in every poling station and the people that registered in that place. By average every region has lost between 15-20% registered voters who took their cards. If Gabiley had higher voter turnout than other places, then investigate. Further more , before people proceeded to vote, their name should be on the voter list in that same station. It is easy to find out who did vote and who did not. The voting card put by the voters must match those who checked the voter list. As was advertised, voters could only vote in the district they registered. If 300 people showed up and voted while checking their names in the voter list, these boxes must only contain 300 ballots. If these boxes were stuffed by Kulmiye voters with extra book, that should be detected. The election commission should listen to the complaints and investigate these issues. Why their election ballot books are in the hands of stranger?. Despite all these issue, Waddani could win. I heard the lead of Waddani is small with few thusand and these stuffed ballots from Gabiley could tip the balance. It is really strange. Despite their crimes of looting the public purse, selling the public schools to the highest bidders, I thought they will be disapearing to Dubai or London where they have hidden millions. Isma lahayn intay soo indha adeygan ayey ummaddan nacday ee maalamaha tirinaysay ayey ku soo noqonayaan. .

I support unity where the citizen is the most important unit in the state and society. Federalism, as it exists now in Somalia, is not good option. In any case, I prefer unified Somaliland than bunch tribes with their own lalalands. We had enough wars.

Now we know they blocked the internet. This images would have been available ias they happen. How come gabiley has the same amount of numbers like hargeisa city or awdal region?

I just had a call from a friend in Hargaisa, he says everyone is celebrating , BIG time, specially WADANI, believing they won,

Lets see where this ends.

Mashallah I envy his blessed thick afro. That is hair goals

niyoow it is no secret Somaliland was projecting itself as a "democracy" to win recognition but as I said before here, there was no way Cirro was going to be allowed to win. to see five year olds being used for voting is the most ridiculous you can imagine niyoow. waa ku shubo shekadani niyoow somaliland dadkedu ma quusto. they keep repeating the same thing over and over again. kii yimadaba wuu ku shubtaa.
