Video or Audio here. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/04/27/f-puntland-somalia-dunn.html 40 young Somali men have a diploma and a new trade thanks to a Canadian-funded training program in Galkayo, Somalia. The program, taught at Galkayo Education Centre for Peace and Development, trained the men in welding or carpentry during a six month vocational course. Canada's High Commission in Kenya selects local programs to fund that have the potential for high impact. The vocational program in Galkayo costs Canada just $117,000, according to the UNHCR. The graduates are among Puntland province's more than 142,000 internally displaced people (IDP's). They fled more perilous, unstable parts of Somalia, where hunger and violence are prevalent. Much of the East African country is considered a failed state, without a functioning government for two decades. Continued in link.

^^ He's right, that's definitely not "naturally" light skinned.

What it shows is that Somaliland is in a weak position, the international community rejected it in the London conference which was an embarrassing moment for them, and their allies the English rejected them outright with hints throughout the conference about preserving the "unity" of Somalia. If you listen to the interview he admits that he was the one who reached out to talk to Sheikh Shariif. 2012 has not been a good year which is why you don't see the Oodweyne guy around talking about how recognition is around the corner, even Jacaylbaro has slowed down. We are only waiting on Xaaji to take a few steps back.

New homes for 7,440 displaced Somalis 27 Apr 2012 08:51 Source: Member // Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) The Wednesday’s sweltering sun and hot westward breeze from the infamous Gulf of Aden offers no sign of mercy for thousands of internally displaced persons some of whom in 2011 were evicted from Bossaso town. Now they are trying to get on with their lives in a desolate dry and stony Bariga Bossaso settlement lying low beneath lifeless hillocks in the outskirt of the old town. For 65 year old Kalthuma Weli, the miseries of homelessness are gone, at least for the next five years. She is one of the 7,440 beneficiaries of the Corrugated Galvanised Iron sheet (CGI) shelters constructed by the Norwegian refugee Council (NRC). ” I would like to thank God that the fires and deaths that have ravaged the settlements are now beginning to end. Families have now been provided homes but NRC’s support should not end there,” she said. Kalthuma and her family faced many challenges before arriving to Bossaso. Lack of food and water made her flee Kalafe in Ethiopia, after losing several family members to famine. Until this Wednesday, she had been living in a carton-made hut or ‘buul’ with 10 other family members in cramp, unsafe conditions. For three years each morning she would wake up, prepare porridge for her seven grand children before leaving for her daily work. But this day, hope dawned. Pilot project The Puntland state of Somalia is housing an estimated 147,000 displaced people. Since 2006, NRC has been providing humanitarian assistance to displaced populations and vulnerable host communities. The provision of sustainable housing solutions for IDP communities is one of the most pertinent issues currently affecting displaced communities. In partnership with UNHCR and with financial support from several donors, NRC is working together with the affected communities and the local authorities to tackle these challenges. In 2011, NRC in Puntland piloted the transitional Corrugated Galvanized Iron (CGI) shelter, which has been appraised as a better choice of shelter by IDPs. The CGI offers a wider living space for the family and a higher level of protection from fire outbreaks and criminals. So far, NRC has constructed 1,231 transitional CGI shelters benefitting 7,440 individuals. To ensure delivery of quality programs, NRC has tested a number of shelter prototypes with a community-based approach and eventually opted for Corrugated Galvanized Iron – also called CGI - as the most appropriate option for Bossaso and potentially also other locations of Bari region. “CGI construction is an example of the intention of the humanitarian community to bridge the transition from the use of temporary emergency tents to more durable CGIs as an alternative shelter option with longer term prospects,” Frantz Mesidor, NRC Area Manager in Puntland explained. Lack access to land Access to land for the IDPs remains a big challenge in Puntland. NRC, through its Protection and Advocacy project, has assisted IDPs in acquiring 5 years tenure of the land where the CGI shelters were constructed. “It has been a challenging process, in particular in relation to dealing with the land issues in the Bariga Bossaso area. We are very pleased to see the end result’s positive impact in terms of improved shelter for thousands of the IDP population,” Mesidor said. Partnerships “This is a victory for IDPs in Bariga Bossaso Settlement,” shouted Mohamed, elected leader for the IDPs, who had been looking forward to the handover ceremony for several weeks. The ceremony was presided over by the Puntland Vice Minister of Interior H.E Mr Abdi Yasin, and attended by Yusuf Muumin, Deputy Governor of Bari, Ali Mohamed, Deputy Mayor of Bossasso, and Charlotte Ridung, Head of UNHCR Puntland Sub-Office, among other dignitaries. Other partners in the project include; United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), European commission Humanitarian Office (ECHO), Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NMFA) and Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF).

The only way Faroole will threaten with secession is if the same people that have spoiled peace for 21 years get their way. No other way and that I don't hope you will object to. Though I still find the idea of secession by Puntland to be ludicrous.

They are threatening peace spoilers, AMISOM has nothing to do with constitutional affairs, if you look at their mandate their are in charge of security and rebuilding the army. Xaaji, tell me which part of the constitution you oppose? I'd like to know since you claim you've read it.

Yes of course it is. Of course, you are a master at play here.

PRESS RELEASE (For immediate release) AMISOM warns spoilers against disrupting the peace process Mogadishu?April 26th, 2012; The African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) has said that it will not allow spoilers to sabotage the peace process as the country approaches the end of the transitional period. Speaking during a press briefing in Mogadishu today, the Deputy Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (DSRCC) for Somalia, Honorable Wafula Wamunyinyi observed that as the country draws closer to the end of the transitional period there will be heightened political activities and called on stakeholders to refrain from acts and statements that may disturb the peace currently enjoyed in most parts of the country. He said; “It is important to note that this is the longest period of peace that Somalia has enjoyed since the fall of a central government in 1991. There have been sacrifices to get to where we are and AMISOM will not allow anybody to disrupt the peace process.” The Deputy AU Special Representative noted the firm commitment demonstrated by the Transitional Federal Institutions to delivering a provisional constitution to the people of Somalia. “As we speak, the elders’ meeting is convening right here in Mogadishu to select members of the Constituent Assembly which is expected to review and adopt the draft provisional constitution. I look forward to a successful session by the assembly which should adopt the constitution by mid May.” He said. Honorable Wafula Wamunyinyi who took opportunity of the press briefing to introduce the in? coming Force Commander Lieutenant General Andrew Gutti as part of implementation of United Nations Resolution 2036, extended his appreciation to out?going Force Commander Major General Fred Mugisha for helping the TFG to liberate key areas including Daynile and Maslah from Al?Shabaab terrorists. He said AMISOM has secured the whole of Mogadishu and is now helping the TFG to consolidate the defense of the city and advancing beyond.

^^ Hahahahaha You are the secessionist type in a nutshell, God bless

@Relentless, exactly you confirmed it. He speaks their language, also listen to this at 6:20

He speaks the same poetic language so I do not doubt that.

No, I support a central state for them I just realize it won't happen anytime soon because of the oil and water theory. We therefore need soap to get in the middle and make them talk but they ran out of it in August 1, 1996.

The secessionists sent their most talented politician.

Xaaji, they will not unite in 100 years, I think we can agree on that point.
