  1. ^^ Last year the EU finance lots of road projects in Africa and on average for every 60 mile stretch, it set aside about £60 million ($98502000.00 on current exchange), 1 million pound for every mile.So for illustrative purposes, let use those figures as base for crude estimates. The road from Burao to Erigavo is about 242 miles.Assuming there is no corruption, lets use the EU figures as guide. That means the road would cost about 242 million pounds or $397291400.00 million dollars, which is almost 4 times above Somaliland's "budget". Now, anyone who says that road can be build on qadhaan money alone is fanatical beyond madness. The only way that road can be build is with international aid money and starting the building of the road with citizens donations is good way to solicit those funds from the international community, by emphasizing on the communitarian aspect of the project. This a major project that requires serious planning and not mid-day dreams.
  2. I am not fan of Saacid but Jawaari is making a mockery of the parliamentary procedure. Asking the "parliamentarians" to vote on whether the Prime Minister can give a speech in parliament on debate specifically about him. It makes one think this chap is making up the rules as he goes along.

The Cerigaabo road project is nothing more a racket run few hucksters. The project is a major piece of infrastructure that requires heavy equipment, man power, financial investment and expertise and Somaliland has virtually next to nothing. The idea that you can complete a project like that with qadaan collections for largely welfare recipient diaspora community is wishful thinking. They are incapable repairing the sole existing road, which is virtually a death trap (especially between berbara and hargeysa), and in the raining season people drawn in their cars in the middle of Hargeysa. They should try imroving what is there first, instead of day dreaming and practicing their shakedown artistry on gullible people.

But she can never lead (politically) because its not her right. What if she becomes pregnant, is she going to take a maternity leave from it, or what if she breaks a nail during a meeting. Anyways your looking at this from a secular perspective, in Islam we don't question Allah's rulings, which includes what the prophet scw taught us. Don't you ask yourself why the companions ra never asked why alcohol was banned. And now we know it causes liver failure. "what if she breaks a nail" kulahaa. wow what a nihilist. There is so much wrong with what you have just said, that in order to repudiate all one would have to write an entire book. But i won't do that because when ever i meet a person who says to me "that is god's ruling and we don't question it", I do exactly what i do when i encounter a mad person. I slowly take couple steps backwards, a nod my head and say goodbye gently.

Have you ever asked why the 'greatest' country in the world never had a female president. . what an utter gibberish!. The united Kingdom had woman prime minister and it is greater than any Muslim country, Germany currently has woman chancellor and it too is greater than any Muslim country. There countless countries in this world that have had women leaders and thrived. You cannot become successful by utilizing only half your population's capabilities and keeping the other half behind a closed doors.

The qu'ran is the highest source of authority in islam and it does not forbid women from participating in public life. The Hadith is a useful guidance but it should not be taken literally, it is based on hear say and it was compiled centuries after the the death of the prophet.
  9. My take is that, the people of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn are not "defualt Somalilanders" nor are they "Puntlanders", they are citizens of Somalia. This unsustainable and unstable status quo has gone on for far too long. I believe this situation will be resolved in near future to the detriment of all those who conspire against the people of khaatumo. The cowardly actions of Puntland in taleex has accelerated this process.

The answer to your second question is :YES, qaad does impair your judgement, not only that but it also alters your present sense of reality, as well as your perceptions of both the past and of the future. In short, it is hell of a drug, that has cause enormous damage to somalia, both socially and economically. Plus it is both an exceleratent and a catalyst for civil conflicts.
  19. It does put things into perspective, don't you agree?, by showing the frivolousness of some causes!
