  1. My dear Mr Galbeedi, your suspicions are just that, but then again, as reer Galbeed, you are the classic one-eyed goblin long in the tooth mistaking the trees for the bush. No "direct" non-Somali funds had been invested in the project thus far, and the Wadaagsan financial statements and disclosures are shared with the investors and majority shareholders at its annual general meeting.

    I do share the economic concerns, like most Somalis.

    Postscript:
    There is a new phenomenon within Somali political commentators: UAE is the evil, Turkey is the shining star for all matters Somali. Reason: UAE is aligned with SL & PL whereas Turkey is aligned with Xamar-centrist politics. This is more popular with neophyte pamphleteers and their recruits.  

    Ma annaa la ii qarshaa, mindiyo laygu qali doono! Yaynaan isu soo humbaalayn adiga oo afku-dhimbille ah, siyaasada kalena walhinaya. Waa iga kaftan & dardaaran.


  2. Approach, if wise diplomats and sharp political leaders were in charge of our affairs:
    a) Lead with the SL deal with FGS acting as the guarantor, and final authority,
        i) Bring SL into the fold, as the State (FMS),
        ii) Bring reer Awdal into the negotiations, as stakeholders.

    b) Tie the case of S Galbeed to the "access to sea" deal, and into the conversation, where Ethiopia shall legally agree S Galbeed being Somali territory.
        i) You want sea? Give up our occupied land! Check mate.

    Let Abiy chew on that.     

    Unfortunately, we neither have wise nor intelligent political leaders managing our affairs.

    The owners of the Port of Garacad have unanimously agreed to transfer its management to an Emirati company. Additionally, they have extended the tenure of the management committee overseeing the operations of the Joint Port Company.

    This agreement entails selling 60% of the port’s shares to the Abu Dhabi-based company from the United Arab Emirates. The contract will be in effect for a duration of 30 years.

    The Emirati company plans to introduce several improvements to the Port of Garacad, including:

    🔹Constructing the Garacad-Goldogob Road.
    🔹Establishing a Dry Port.
    🔹Building hangars.
    🔹Completing unfinished sections of the port.
    🔹Installing cranes.
    🔹Developing a large fish processing factory.

    Furthermore, the company will bring extensive international business operations under its brand name to the port.

    The Emirati investment in the Port of Garacad represents a significant opportunity for both the port and the Garacad-Goldogob road. The Joint Port Company Management Committee previously signed a memorandum of understanding with the Abu Dhabi-based company.

    The shareholders of the Port of Garacad have been holding meetings in Galkayo over the past few days, which concluded officially today.

  4. Hawd is usually included in the Waqooyi political sphere even though it is geographically situated in the West, but then again, you would have known that had you been a bona fide native. By the way, it is "Waqooyi => origin 'Waaq hooy [Waaq's lair], pre-Islam idol' ", and not "Woqooyi". It follows the same naming convention as the days of the week, and months of the Gregorian calendar.

  5. I specifically reserve that language for you alone, as you deserve nothing less.

    In your warped rationality, 'cos Xabasha are squatting in southern regions, you are dashing, in hasty and not to be outdone, to award them the North West to compete for submission? I do not know why I thought you would acknowledge the folly in your step, but then again, I have a theory you are a sleeper cell for the Xabasha.

  7. So, the song particularly composed to coincide with the June 26th festivities performed in front of the elites of the State does not represent the general sentiment of the people; is that what you are trying to tell us?

    I am  astounded by your unique mastery of always blaming the FGS where all else fails, and where Shankaroon falls flat on its visage with its feline on full frontal display!


  8. This was a fine lecture peeling the layers of sore reality in our nation. I hope students have absorbed core fillings of the lecture. Not one of my favourites, nor a good politician, but one of the best academicians in his field in the Somali peninsula.

    Thanks for sharing. So well-intended, well-written, good in spirit, and compliant  with State protocol far better than any of the recycled nightly press releases from villa Xamar these days; why in 3 languages (Latin, Italian, and English)? I was hoping to see the Arabic version? Did you find this in the family archives?


  11. 47 minutes ago, Arafaat said:

    do you mean Xamar as a city to generate revenues for municipal service delivery,

    Correct, as a city State. It is currently generating approximately 300m in revenue from an estimated 2 - 3bn in grants, aid, and other monies pouring into the city for the FGS. The question is as and when said funds have dried up, as they will, will it survive? If so, how? Think about  Kabul.

    47 minutes ago, Arafaat said:

     But perhaps the economic potentially of this great city is being held back by the burden and cost of being the political capital?’

    So, you consider the FGS more of a burden than a blessing for the city? This ties back to the original question. I thought it was a balance of both. See if you could elaborate.

    Bal noo sheeg magaalo Xamar dhaanto oo magaalo madax u qalanto?

    You got the wrong end of the stick missing the point of the question by a long mile. It is not about its being the de facto nation's capital, or not, but its economic viability. With so being the case, let us try it again, and this time think about its sources of revenue to self-sustain itself.

    Washington may have the highest unemployment rate solely due to bloated civil service, no?

    That is a factor, but there are others to consider incl. lack of resources, cost of living, human capital, industries amongst many.
