Coofle, the way the whole case was conducted and publicised smells of an organised campaign to scare people and make the poor guy an example. No one cares about proper justice in Somaliland and the courts are so corrupt, so the poor guy is just a sacrificial lamb for the government's environmental campaign. The recurrent droughts created a lot of worry for the government and everyone in Somaliland but the few remaining trees are still being cut to make charcoal. As the government can't afford to police the whole countryside, they are probably using this unlucky fellow to send a message.

@Ilbir said: You sir are dangerously stupid. Calling Naturopaths witch doctors is akin to abuse of a professional. You are the same idiot who has his worthless children vaccinated. You also believe fluoride is truly needed for healthy teeth & that chemotherapy actually cures cancer! lol.... You are uneducated. Ignoring your uncalled for insults let me clarify my comment. The witch doctors I referred to in my comment are not Naturopath practitioners in any sense of the word. I don't think there are any Naturopathy clinics in Somaliland apart from the Chinese one. The fraudulent guys I was talking about are the so-called "faith healers" or the fake wadaado who hide behind the Quraan to rip off the public. The Naturopathy practitioners are in my opinion more logical and trustworthy than the lot we have in Somaliland.

@Coofle I go to Somaliland regularly and I was saddened to notice that in the absence of proper healthcare, the witch doctors have set up shops everywhere. What these immoral men do is not only a financial exploitation of the poor and ignorant, but also now becoming a public health hazard. People with all sorts of illnesses which can include contagious diseases queue for the services of these fraudsters and then go back to their homes and families with only a bag of worthless herbs and powders. The equally useless government in charge of the country does absolutely nothing to stop those dangerous witch doctors or educate the vulnerable public.

The ladies are silent which can only mean one thing Mr Maxamad; they are politely asking you to leave them alone to climax in peace.

@Ilbir said: Simpletons! What will diaspora building hotels do for us?! It erodes the morals of the women and gives them a safe please to have sex-out of marriage. Why is it that these dhaqan-celis fools have come into Somalia and ruined the morality of Somalia. It was back in the day when women thought kissing was disgusting and against the religion, with their husbands missionary was the only position they did and kissing was frown up in the heat of the moment, now these same women are okay with blowjobs, standing while fucking, and other despicable acts. It takes more than one person to sin in the act adultery and it is not just the woman whose morals get eroded. Men who engage in illigal sexual intercourse are just as immoral and guilty as the women whose bodies they enjoy. From this comment of yours it looks like you have an uneasy relationship with sex and with the female sex. There is nothing wrong with engaging in a good sex within the set limits of the Devine law and in my opinion kissing and oral sex are part of the joys of sex. If you haven't tried them do it asap.

Mr MM seems to be a devoted follower of the shameless conspiracy theorist- Mr Daahir Culusow. It is that snake who spread the baseless rumours that Somaliland and Ethiopia are behind Alshabaab. For their own sake southerners must stop the lame excuses and take a tough stance against the ragtag terrorist militia plighting their society. The people of Somaliland gain nothing from supporting instability in Somalia and indeed have a vested interest in a terror and chaos-free south. By the way, can you tell us what sort of help did the "false state" request from Somalia? Before I end this comment I should mention that I am a good candidate for the position of a "benevolent dictator".

@Tillamook said: Tallaabo, saaxiib, calling me a fool for rightfully pointing the finger at the corrupt and ineffectual Silanyo administration for this disaster, is entirely disingenuous and unfortunate on your part. I, like the poor mothers in that video who were mourning, fully lay the blame solely at the feet of Silanyo and his "waanu go'aynaa" administration for the tragic loss of lives in the Medeterranian. Be that as it may, sxb, if you still wish to further engage me directly on this thread about this particular disaster, then I will have to insist that you first grasp your ears firmly and pull; maybe then you just might be able to wrench your head free from your withered rear end and see how hapless, helpless and hopeless the youth of Somaliland have become because of the brigands in charge in Hargaysa who have nothing better to offer the people besides the usual diversionary claptrap of ..."waanu go'aynaa...iyo wey duushay bahashii... iyo May18 baa soo dhow ee aanu hudheelo lagu niikiyo, afarta beeni-jiho adduunka, ka kireysano". For fcuks sake, when will this misery for the people of Somaliland end? Tallaabo, sxb, the youth need good jobs and opportunities. The youth need hope. The youth must made to love their homeland and lives in Somalia, again. Somaliland deserves a better government than the current useless and out-of-touch Silanyo. Somaliland deserves better than Muse Bixi and Faisal Waraabe. Somaliland CAN do better! First of all you have either not read my comment at all or you have deliberately mis-quoted me. I neither called you a fool nor supported any administration. Indeed I consider the useless Silaanyo administration a total waste of time. Secondly, you have implied that the grass is a lot greener at your side of the fence and that the only way the youth in Somaliland can find any hope is to cross that fence. This too like the deliberate mis-quotation of others is a time honoured trick used by the propaganda ministries of the world's wicked regimes, and as everyone knows is completely untrue. The youth in Somaliland will never find any opportunity in a land where its citizens live for the sole purpose of bringing each other down, of course with the readily available help of foreign armies.

@Tillamook said: This is what happens when you destract the people with secessionist nonsense instead of actually working hard to improve the people's lives. To Silanyo and all his secessionist pipe dreamers who got nothing for the people but bullshit: This incident, once again, bestows upon your shoulders a degree of mocking infamy and ridicule which will be very hard to escape from! Shame on you , dimwits! https://youtu.be/TuVCgqx7WFo Walaalaha naftooda ku waayey baddaha waxaan Eebe uga baryaaya naxariis...ehelkoodana, samir iyo iimaan. You are either taking an immoral advantage of a sad situation or your logic is dictated by the raw emotion of the moment. Whichever it is, you will be wiser to avoid making any comments lest you make yourself look like a fool.

Mr Galbeedi, Your supposed solution to the economic problems in Somaliland is the same thing that created the problem in the first place, ie the failed union. The root of the problem is not the secession but bad leadership as you also pointed out. We need to get rid of the tribalism which is the plague in our society and elect visionary leaders if we are to bring about a real change and eeconomic development.

A Christian charity organisation has the right to hire whoever they wish. If Somalis don't like their beliefs or policies then they should not allow them to operate in their areas.

@NM I have got an idea!! Since you are desperate to put an end to this disastrous relationship without being the one responsible for the divorce and without hurting your adoring husband's feeling, do the following tricks. 1. Tell your husband that your sex life as it is is very unsatisfactory and that you have a fetish which you want to bring into the relationship. At this stage do not disclose anymore information about your sinister intentions. 2. As the poor guy starts wondering what your fetish is about, start wearing full cat woman style leather suit and other kinky garments every night for your husband. He might like this or he might not but this is just the start. 3. Next go to a sex shop and buy a whip, chains, dog collars, and a manual for the alpha dominant female sex machine. Tell him that you want to chain him to the bed and whip him. He will resist "your insane idea" but that is the whole point of this trick, so don't request it but demand that he obliges. 4. If he agrees to being dragged around the bedroom with the dog collar, getting chained to the bed and whipped regularly then you will proceed to the next step. 5. Go back to the sex shop and buy a strap-on dildo then demand that you penetrate him. This will probably be too much for him but do not compromise. Make it clear to him this is what turns you on and nothing less will satisfy you. If he can't continue with your crazy nightly show, he will most likely ask for a separation.

This is the same ugly design like every other building in that city. By the way, would you report if another hotel was built in another clan ghetto of Hargaysa?

If you are unhappy with the marriage talk to him about it and ask for divorce. Tell him the truth and say that he is the only partner in this union who is happy.

The social problems Somalis have are countless. I fear our next generation will also be a lost generation.

Mashaallah, I am impressed by his honesty and high moral standard walaahi. If only we had more people like him.

Somalis don't need tax heavens to hide their wealth. Our own homeland is much better than a tax heaven because even the richest companies and individuals pay little to no tax at all.

@Holac said: Where is this? You can tell this is in Somaliland by the rows of Oromos begging worshippers at the doors of the mosque. These useless people should be rounded up and deported all the time.

@Barwaaqo said: Waa halkii Faysal Cali Waraabe'e, wiilka reer Jigjiga ayaa iga xiga ka Muqdhisho. Technically Faisal spoke the truth. The D-block in Ethiopia like the Dhulos and maakhirites in the east and the Awdalites and Jesus clan in the west have extensive blood ties with our duriyad due many centuries of intermarriage. The same cannot be said of the other Somali clans.

That is a lovely reservoir in Bender Bayla. Such reservoirs should be built everywhere to prevent a single drop of water going to the sea.

Galbeedi why is the administration in the Somali zone of Ethiopia not helping the drough victims of your community when the Federal government of Ethiopia sent the aid needed to help all the communities in need? It seems the Ogs are demonic in their practice of tribalism.

The residents of villa xamar should learn the principle that charity starts at home and help the desperate refugees living in squalor right next to their gated and guarded fortresses. The nomadic people of Awdal and some other communities in Somaliland are no doubt suffering may Allah help them, but unlike in Mogadishu and the south, whatever help the victims of this natural calamity get from others is usually delivered to them without diversions.

Faysal can't accept the fact that the public have seen his terrible personality and decided that he can never be a suitable candidate for a leadership role.

I think Donald Trump has FOMO. I watched a programme about him on Sky news and it was revealed he protested when Forbes magazine ranked him somewhere between 250 and 300. He claimed he is a lot richer as his name alone is worth $2.5 billion :-D

The wan has a right to use the services of a defence lawyer.
