    Centralism is a project by Benadiri folk, nothing else. As the Dr said, Centralism is a legacy of the colonialists. It has no roots in our culture at all. Somalis, being an egalitarian society had defined territories of grazing for each clan, but had (and still have) sharing of grazing and water. Each clan had their Sultan/Garaad or Boqor. These tribes had a Somali Xeer which we in modern times, call Constitution. Cooperation in times of peace and conflict solving, in times of war, were under the responsibility of those guurti.

    The problem of convincing the southerners to accept federalism has a cultural background, apart from economical and dominance. The South was different from the North. The Italian rule was abslute and central, and the Colonial rulers dismantled the Oday dhaqameed traditional system altogether. That is why Konfurians don't understand this loose political system which is known as federalism.

    No Somali to my knowledge supports a Central government excep Benaadiri folk, and probably some from Central Somalia for obvious reasons. Central governance is a lost case in Somalia. It is dead!.

    OK, I got it. So the IRIR thing is a political tool of cobbling together some people with no historical and cultural bondage to tilt the political weight to their advantage. Oh, Somalis and their never ending camelon camouflage in tribalism. You can even have a the grazing area of your camels and call it the mysterious Sheikh of your tribal ancestor!. Why Somalis strengthen the cohesion of those they share territory with to advance their interest instead of people whom they they never have met before?. Somalis have warped mentality indeed.

    Thanks for your insight in Somali "dhaqan". It is hard to convince me that coffee cooking was introduced by Somalis and then the tradition has been diffused into other middle Eastern countries and Ethiopia, if that is what you meant.

    By the way what is Canbuulo and Daango in English or Arabic/ other Somali dialects.

     

    Thanks again MM.

    I am not familiar with the Somali Constitution but I don't think it violates it. There is a difference between a Consular and Ambassador. The Ambassador represents his country and engages in political matters, while a Consular is represents his country in commercial affairs and probabably other non political interests of his State.

    A Consular has nothing to do with the Federal politics, Military and or anything which is under the jurisdiction of the Federal State.

    Maxaa ku jaban haddaad Madaxweyne inaad tahay iska dhaadhicisi, xuduud sheegatid, calan samaysatid, lacag samaysatid. Qofna ha weydiin ma la ictiraafsanyahay xuduuddaa, lacagtaasi bangiyadu ma ictiraafsanyihiin. Su'aalahaa oo dhan looma baahna. Adigu iska dhaadhici waxyaabahaasoo idil, adiguna madaxweyne tahay. Waa laguu sacabbinayaa, waa lagu soo dhoweynayaa, waa lagu dhegaysanayaa. Maxaad kaloo rabtaa dee?.

    Xassan Sheikh waxaa laga dhaadhiciye waxaa tahay madaxweyne, Professo iyo inuu Somaliya oo dhan xukumo min dacal ilaa dacal. Waxaa lagu yidhi ku meelgaadh waad ka baxday. Lacag malaha u gaar ah. Go'aankiisu meelna kama socdo, waxna ma qabto ee Villa Somalia ayuu iska fadhiya, hadduu ka baxana waxaa sii kexeeya Sangadhuudhi.

    Oo maxaa ka galay dee hadduu iska dhaadhiciyo inu xataa Somaliland Madaxweyne u yahay?. Rootidiisaa halkaa la martay.

    Ina Godane waa Shiikh baa la leeyahay, haddana boqollaal kun baa loo haystaa. Isagu sow iskama dhaadhicin inuu caalin yahay?. Waxaad iska dhaadhicisid waad noqonaysaa markaad heshid cid kuu jaamaysa!. Adigu iska dhaadici uun.

    Miyaadan arag kuwa Somalida ah ee iska dhaadhiciyey inay Salaadiin yihiin?. Waa marsiiyeen dadka, waayo waxay heleen qolo u jaamaysa.

    Miyaadan arag titles-ka laysku taxay, dadkii waa wada Professor iyo Dr. Waryaa SomaliaRising, title iyo boos raadso. Sannadkaa maanta ah waa kuu maraysaa haddii Reerku ku jaameeyo. Hana illaawin inaad koofiyad soo xidhatid, go' shaal ahna garabka soo saartid. Waaba intaa keliya waxaa laga baahanyahay, iyo jaadka oo qolada kuu jaamaynaysa aad ka haqabtirtid.

    Xaaji,

    What the F is this? I know Somalis are shattered mentally andceconomically but I never expected we can stoop so low of turnining our beautiful culture into tribal grandiosity. This singer is a moron with no civility, he must be banned from public to save our children from his venom. We, the Diaspora are the most ignorant of our society.

    i remember watching a video clip about Maydh. in the clip some fishing company were complaining abou freferigeration. They used to buy ice from Yemen to freeze the catch beore selling their product in Erigavo, El afweyn and other towns. This project is one of its kind in Maydh. Kudos guys and congrats.

    My proposal is to invest in fishing boats, trucks withbfreezers and packaging machinery. One step at a time.

    We need some light industry in the frankincence and mirrah for extracting oil, whichbare used in medicine and perfumes. We sendxthese products to the Middle East cheaply and they sell them triple the cost price to European companies. Such light industries of processing our native products will boost the economy and employment. But before we embark on these projects, we have to solve the endemic shortage of energy. The best we we can be self sufficient in energy is to take advantage of wind and solar. Both alternatiives are abundant in our country through out the year. The initial investment could be high but this clean energy is sustainable and profitable in the long run. We need energetic young energy with vision who have an understanding of the 21 st century global economy. The old politicians should retire and give a chance to their sons and daughters. In the West, people enjoy when they retire but it is the other wy around in the third world. They only vacate the seat either by bullet or by natural death. Dang, they are are greedy!.

    I am not familiar with Southern Bantus but I have seen a documentary of Southern Sudanese. The guys have never travelled in a plane or a car and have never seen a traffic light before. They were given an appartment so everything must be taught to them, even how to start the fan. The most funny thing was when one of the guys got a job in a factory after a while. He was told how much money he will earn pr month. On pay day, he was handed with an envelope. He said "what is this?", and he was told it is his money. After openning the envelope, he pulled out a check and nothing else was in the envelope. He asked his supervisor why he was lied to when he started the job. To make it short, the supervisor had to explain that he can go to the bank and cash it. He was so upset, beliving the supervisor is still cheating him.

    At last, the manager told the supervisor told the supervisor to follow him to the bank and cash the check for him.

    Don't think that all new arrivals from Africa are familiar with urban life, some are right from the bush.
