    Two years after independence, the country is booming - but faces major hurdles to its stability and continued growth.

     

    Juba, South Sudan - July 9 marks the two-year anniversary of South Sudan's secession from neighbouring Sudan. Independence Day here commemorates an end to the decades of war which claimed more than two million lives, and the conclusion of an extensive peace process.

     

    But two years on, the youngest nation in the world faces major hurdles to its stability and continued growth. Food security is one of the government's top objectives: 98 percent of the country's farmers are subsistence farmers, and 45 percent of the population have insecure access to food.

     

    South Sudan's economy is also heavily reliant on its oil reserves. But the only pipeline out of South Sudan runs through Sudan, and the countries have vehemently disputed how to split revenue from oil exports. South Sudan only recently resumed oil production after a 16-month halt due to the impasse.

     

    Analysts have stressed the need to develop the country's private sector, but tense relations between South Sudan and Sudan over the past two years - which have sometimes escalated to military clashes - have kept foreign investors at a distance.

     

    Nevertheless, progress has been made. Billions of dollars have been contributed to South Sudan's budget, helping to kick-start development and build up institutions. Juba, South Sudan's capital, has been growing at a rapid pace as people in rural areas have migrated to the country's biggest city.

    i can't believe its Ramadan. last Ramadan was awesome, walle. this Ramadan will be interesting, y'all. it won't be easy. it will require discipline and a certain level of self-motivation. it is my intention to ensure all goes well. i have made the necessary preparations including taking leave from work balse i worry some unfortunate incident will ruin my concentration around the 13th day. i'd like to think of myself as being disciplined, motivated and inshallah kheyr i hope to use this opportunity as the launch pad for a better lifestyle. anyways, i'm beginning to sound serious and just shed a slight tear amid writing the most honest thing ever, you know. :)

     

    i wish y'all a prosperous Ramadan. its a time of self-reflection, self-improvement and self-progress ee make full use of it. waa iga taalo.

     

    bye my friends. i'll see y'all around.

    Alz: sure, Alpha. go ahead please.

     

    Alpha: ok. i will. here goes.....when was the last time you called your family?

     

    Alz: that's a silly question.

     

    Alpha: oo waayo?

     

    Alz: because it is. you could have asked me a million other questions, ma garatay?

     

    Alpha: is everything alright Alz?

     

    Alz: of course, inaar. why do you ask?

     

    Alpha: oh no reason, i just thought i ought to remind you, you know.

     

    Alz: i see. it's good to know you care. thanks for the reminder, too.

    :(
    :mad:

    we've been infiltrated and the gaal, axmaar and fufu are permeating their wicked subversive ethos into our culture ee sida uula soco, inaar. even the uskaag axmaar is apparently 'protecting' the SL Republic against other Somalis WTF and down in the south the fufu KDF have virtually annexed our land. we are screwed inaar, ma garatay? :mad:

     

    who will stand for Somalinimo maanta? who will protect the purity of our race? who will provide solutions for the contamination of our genes?

     

    Ahmed 'kibaki' Madoobe? Big SILaanyo? Hassan 'i've just combed my hair' sheikh mohamud? Professor Faroole who hasn't even signed the Kyoto protocols?

     

    NO ONE!

     

    woe to Somalis, ma istidhi?

     

    meanwhile, here in the nation's capital, the onset of cable television, laissez-faire ibaaxnimo coupled with urban living and post-modernist tendencies has increased cross-tribal intermarriages. we are finished ee sida uula socoda. :P

     

    i'm the ONLY person with the solutions but i'm a former shadow of myself. there are too many problems for Alz to make a last heist towards redemption. i would've led us to victory against those who habour deep-seated envy for our chiseled noses, kibir and traditional nomadic custom of drinking canno geel with an instrument crafted from wood. balse, i don't have the legitimacy. :P

    and what did come across to you ? fufu..

    who knows, inaar. somalis are not what they use to be, ma garatay?

     

    these days, a fufu, no less, can pass for a somali. in xamar, the AMISOM fufus are targeting the somali xalimos in the IDPs and creating fufu children by the tens of thousand. according to conservative estimates produced by ARDO - 2010 saw 87,554 illegitimate fufu child-ba$tards born in the criminally operated brothels in Dadaab refugee camp alone. the terrible squalor, living conditions and abject poverty has seen the flight, expulsion and mass exodus of tens of thousands of refugees from Dabaab to Jubbaland, a newly created regional administration in southern Somalia, in what has been described as the 'second great Bantu migration'. aid workers point towards the recent spate of xenophobic attacks against Somalis in south africa. with tensions high and the recent increased hostilities between rival clan militia's in the port town of Kismayo, xalimos are propositioning themselves to fufus of the KDF for survival. the arch-bishop of Gedo Cardinal Yusuf Mire Mutkhar has advocated for rolling out the use of Hysterectomy, a surgical procedure involving the removal of the uterus of the xalimo, in line with the Vatican's population control policy. Somalia remains without an effective government for 21 years.

     

    i was listening to the radio just the other day and there was this horrific stomach churning interview with a xalimo who was impregnated by a ''ugandese'' solider. apparently, he blackmailed her into marriage, in order to cure her sick father.

     

    come on, ma istidhi? the nonsense spewed on the airwaves these days is very hard to stomach, ma garatay? i felt her plight balse i didn't sympathies with her, you know. our people have become the laughing stock of the world, these days. it's no wonder, our purity is being contaminated. i blame these desperate trash xalimos.

    The Turks build. The Bantus Protect. What are HAG actually doing other than posting the results on the internet and trying to get Jubbaland back?

    why don't you start a joint puntland and jubbaland picture thread?

     

    C&B, Oba and Daqane have done an excellent job in keeping us informed of the developments and portray a positive image of xamar, despite it being a hell-hole. i've been updating the Somaliland Picture Thread since 2009.
