Once it is a belly dance to Big sheikhs, and once to submit to Ethiopians. I am certain Farmaajo was not involved, thought bucket stops with him, and must take full responsilties. Anyway, I am surprised, how certain folks with all the trauma, and horrible stories, Somalis witnessed in last 30 years, yet Some are willing to stay in that dark, and can't see the light, Qoorta kor u qaada, SOMalis will prevail and this sad chapter of our lives will end.

ELECTION commission be replaced? I heard there was undeniable irregularities, more similar of 1969 SOMALI Election, were a village had more votes than major towns. Kenya can afford these, last election v cost over a billion.

^But bro why would someone who held one of the highest Ministers in SL , and working for the s secession , go to Mogadishu and abandon ship. Why Mogadishu, when he has the qualification to get work anywhere? I am certain Dr. Mohammad Abdullahi Omar knows something most diehard SLers don't, Maybe he knows this SL project is going nowhere, Think about it

@Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar said: What about this dude pictured below? He is currently in Xamar, desperately trying to be named into a government position, same like his fellow folks did in the recent years. Subhaan, Dr. Mohammad Abdullahi Omar with all the secrets of SL, if they ever had secrets , is spilling the beans,at Mogadishu, and SULDAANKA brings a guy here , who is UNKNOWN, for all we know could be from DURIYADA on propaganda spin, but Dr. Mohammad Abdullahi Omar does is obvious SUBXAAN, people can dream, but for once see this as only ONE clan project, and this clan can't even accommodate others,

^^Thanks for the correction.

It is extremely bad, first, 90K is alot of money, boqol halaad weeye, ,one camel, today cost, around $1000 and victims family seems happy to take it, but sends a very bad image, and is injustice. Blood money should only be considered during accidents , manslaughter, not First Degree murder. This means if you have money, you can kill with impunity. Waxaa dhici marka ay dhafoorka ka toogtaan, in Check lagu dul qora.. Waa arin aad u ful xun, and this should NOT be the case, the killer, whatever money he has, and whatever the victim's family want, should not matter, waa State crime, and you do the crime, you pay for it. There was a similar problem in Hargeisa, were rapists, were forced to marry the rapee!! as solution!!! very bizzare, and all under GAD casta, , waa ku raacsanahay GOONI, odayadan waqtigoodii waa dhamaatey.

Alot of conflict of interest, very biased, and very angry, this kinda person should not be in the talks, wherever the talks lead to, Other men and women with more caliber and cool head , young , passionate, have to somme to lose or gain, with no bias agenda, and open minded, not very angry and conflicted like this old lady should be included. Edna is very sick, and hates SOMALIS from South, and said numerous times in public.

Ninba si u arag, why would someone who got opportunity to make different, and been the LAND of opportunities, came back and sell tea? this is bizarre,and not good example, he could go to UNi, get better skills, make money and go back. with all the things he could bring back, from the land of opportunities, maa SHAAH karin buu ka keeney? how is this good? Kan wax wayn ma keenin, runtii, tea making was already there, Habraa shaaha kariya in XEEBTA kusoo kubaareeyo maaheeyn, and don't see this as newsworthy and we should NOT report FAILURES as success, Wax badan baa umadda iska khaldan.

Poverty here is affordable, and basicly your leaders and government are as corrupt as they come, and the POINT CHe is trying to make is , you can keep blaming the ills, and the misfortunates of your Admin and Leaders, the OLD dictator LAFIHISII DHAMAADeen. It is time to self reflect, while few at the top face death by gluttony, the masses starve, and your answer is very simplified, to big problem, i.e being victim. Most Somalis anywhere are only victim of themselves, and leaders they chose

UNIVERSAL TV works for ETHIOPIA, they are extremely horrible and should be boycotted.

Good job by Farmaajo, Well come home.

EEbe intii dhimatey ha u naxariisto, Sad and barbaric, these people are killing each other for nothing. But agree, on Galbeedi, Everything is possible. SL like any place in SOMALI region, is very tribal, and that is why it would be impossible to bring Khaatumo on board, cuz they can't offer anything.

while everyone is waiting on phantom recognition. The current Admin SL is the biggest looters, and have regard for public property.

lol, horrible hack, they didn't even cover their traces, what a bad idea. it is all envy, the tiny nation of QATAR was extremely doing well,

SOMALI dhib badanaa, for the first ever States are getting money, from the FEDERAL government, yet they still making noises.

^^Falaadhi Gilgilasho kaama hadho, instead of resorting to name calling, would you please advice your secessionist leaders to stop supporting and financing Shabaab. The Nexus between Somaliland and Al-Shabaab Posted on February 17, 2016 by Ali Omar Ghedi | 0 Comments Muqdisho,17 February, 2016: Many accounts misapprehend the nature of the relationship between Somaliland and al-Shabaab. The relationship, in fact, goes far beyond contact and coexistence, with significant financial assistance by Somaliland’s Ministry of Interior and Intelligence Agency providing the bulk of al-Shabaab’s financing and weapons, according to sources and al-Shabaab captured leaders. Somaliland intelligence is directly funded by foreign intelligence agencies, according to reports. Somaliland Minister of Interior Ali Waran-Ade and other senior political, military, and business leaders including former ministers Mohamed Bihi Yonis, Hirsi Ali Hassan, and Suleiman Esa Ahmed as well as Colonel Muse Bihi Abdi and Abdirashid Duale, the CEO of Dahabshiil have actively financed and supported al-Shabaab as part of a strategy to undermine political and security progress in Somalia and boost support for Somaliland recognition. Somaliland uses western economic development and security funds to finance al-Shabaab operations in Somalia. Waran-Ade, a former senior intelligence officer for the Siyad Barre’s National Security Services (NSS) directed financing and provided material support to al-Shabaab operations. Al-Shabaab has a strong support in Somaliland, according to captured senior al-Shabaab commander and the government orchestrates, sustains as well as strongly influences the movement operations in Somalia. Somaliland also gives sanctuary to the families of senior al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida leaders, and provides support in terms of training, funding, munitions, and supplies for al-Shabaab. In their words, this is ‘as clear as the sun in the sky’. Directly or indirectly Somaliland appears to exert significant influence on the strategic decision-making and field operations of al-Shabaab; and has greater away over operatives. According to recently defected al-Shabaab commander, Somaliland intelligence controls al-Shabaab’s counterintelligence units “Amniyat”, who are recruited from radical mosques in Hargeisa, Burco, Berbera Gabiley and Borama. Former al-Shabaab operatives confirmed that the Somaliland Intelligence was represented on the al-Shabaab leadership council, known as the Shura, and the Security Council. Indeed, the agency appears to have circumscribed the al-Shabaab’s strategic autonomy. Waran-Ade himself has apparently assured senior al-Shabaab leaders that they are ‘our people’ and have his backing. He has also apparently authorized al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida fighters and supporters release from Somaliland prisons, including senior al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula operative who was captured in Berbera on his way to Lower Shebelle to meet with al-Shabaab Emir Ahmed Umar. In 2012, Somaliland police detained and released al-Shabaab Emir Ahmed Godane, al-Shabaab external operation leader Abdulkadir Mohamed Abdulkadir (Ikrima) and operative Ismail Muse, reportedly now head of al-Shabaab Mogadishu operations, who is one of the highest ranking in the movement below al-Shabaab Emir Ahmed Umar. The group was in Burco to meet with al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula emissaries and Dahabshiil and other al-Shabaab financiers. Somaliland’s involvement with al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida in the Arabian Peninsula is having a major implication for the international community. The governments of Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti have all been alarmed by the Somaliland, al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida nexus. Ethiopia and Djibouti have restricted borders with Somaliland. Diplomatic outposts and international organizations have been instructed to relocate from Hargeisa to Mogadishu and limit contacts with senior Somaliland government officials. Somaliland Strategy Through providing sanctuary and support to al-Shabaab, Somaliland appears to be able to exert significant influence on al-Shabaab strategy. As a Somaliland political figure summarized: ‘Somaliland has some control “over the al-Shabaab”. They have influence in al-Shabaab’s decision-making. Sure, they have dominated the movement, but al-Shabaab has some independence. Likewise, a security analyst said: ‘al-Shabaab is obliged to accept Somaliland demands – it needs their support.’ The Somaliland-al-Shabaab relationship is founded on mutual benefits. Al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida need external sanctuary, as well as military and logistical support to sustain their insurgency in Somalia and Yemen. As a former al-Shabaab operative put it: ‘Somaliland are helping al-Shabaab a lot, but they only give for their own gain. According to the conflict analyst: ‘there is not an equal relationship between Somaliland and al-Shabaab – Somaliland is far more powerful. Al-Shabaab doesn’t have any choice except to live in Somaliland; where else can they go?’ Somaliland Leadership Collusion with Foreign Terrorist Organization’s Security experts are divided on the extent to which Somaliland policy towards al-Shabaab insurgents is determined independently of civilian officials. Somaliland officials were aware of Waran-Ade’s and Somaliland intelligence role in supporting al-Shabaab and were actively encouraging it.’ The Daallo Airlines terrorist incident in early February and the bombing of seafood restaurant in Mogadishu suggest that the policy is approved at the highest level of Somaliland government. Al-Shabaab senior operative Ismail Muse, who planned, coordinated and financed both Daallo Airline and Mogadishu seafood restaurant attacks made several trips to Hargeisa, Burco and Borama to meet with Dahabshiil and senior Somaliland intelligence officer code name “Dagaxbuur”. According to western intelligence source Dahabshiil deposited $50,000.00 monthly to secret account at the banks main office in Mogadishu to support Ismail Muse. Dahabshiil also deposited $18,000.00 to the bank account of senior Somali National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) who was recently implicated and arrested for the Daallo Airline attack. Somaliland Intelligence Operations in Somalia Al-Shabaab commanders believe Somaliland shapes their operations in Somalia in a powerful, surreptitious and coercive way. Somaliland intelligence is part of Amniyat operational command. Certainly, insurgent skills and capabilities at the operational and tactical level suggest the involvement of trained professional military personnel. As a former security official said: ‘they give them the plans, the strategy and new techniques. The chain goes back to Somaliland. Al-Shabaab Sanctuary, Funding, Munitions and Supplies Al-Shabaab has a number of sources of external support, and there is little doubt that Somaliland is increasing the arms, funding and training they provide to the insurgents. Somaliland involvement in the early stages of the insurgency has been widely acknowledged. Somaliland were operating training camps for al-Shabaab recruits, and facilitating the supply of funds, equipment and arms. Dahabshiil the Terror Bank of Choice for al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida Dahabshiil financial support for al-Shabaab is diverse as confirmed by western intelligence officials. Dahabshiil collects al-Shabaab funds from charitable donations, applied to businessmen or farmers, especially traffickers; ransom from kidnappings; protection money from contractors or officials. Al-Shabaab funds are deposited to Dahabshiil in Hargeisa. A selected al-Shabaab financiers and facilitators have access to the funds and they manage the group’s funding, munitions and supplies. As al-Shabaab military commander put it: ‘we receive salary, training, weapons, ammunition and expenses from Somaliland. … Everyone knows Somaliland gives money; it goes centrally, and then flows down. Another al-Shabaab commander said: ‘Of course, it’s a huge project, the insurgency needs huge funding, IEDs [improvised explosive devices], ammunition, training, needs everything, all of this has been given by Somaliland. We do not have facilities to produce any of this. Outlook Somaliland will continue its terrorist-related activities, including support for al-Shabaab and al-Qa’ida. Somaliland views al-Shabaab terrorism and insurgency as a crucial in its recognition strategy. The more Somalia suffers, the better chances for Somaliland becoming independent state. Somaliland has continued to generate significant concern regarding the role it plays in terrorist financing. Dahabshiil continues to operate in vast black market and unregulated economy of Somalia. The hawala networks remained intertwined with terrorism financing, smuggling and transaction-based money laundering. This raises significant concerns that some members of the Somaliland government and the business elite were complicit in terrorist finance schemes. The international community is working with the Somali Federal Government on sanctions to stop Somaliland support of foreign terrorist organization. The international community and the Somali government are also working on financial, military, and economic sanctions as well travel restriction and terrorist designation for Waran-Ade, Dagaxbuur, Dahabshiil and several other senior Somaliland officials, according to credible source.

And Somaliland Collusion with evil doers in last year's report 22 Erigavo is considered the western gateway to the Golis Mountains, and the belief by the Puntland administration that Somaliland permits a “safe corridor” through which Al-Shabaab militants can travel into the mountains has caused considerable friction between the two regions. Local Puntland commanders in Galgala also believe that Somaliland authorities provide a safe haven for Al-Shabaab fighters, and that Erigavo functions as an “R&R” destination for militants.

^Oodweyne, wait for the next UN Monitoring report on SOMALIA, for the Security Council,it will be out shortly. You will see how your terrorist state colluding and working with Shabaab.

unless you are blind, SHabaab is 100% working with SOMALILAND, and has been for years, this is not a secret. The evil doers of Shabaabs see SOMALI Federal government and Puntland as more threat, and made a deal with SOMALILAND, it is not because SL has a better security than PUNTLAND, which is true, it is because, SHABAAB wants to get rid off Federal governement and Federal States FIRST, then SOMALILAND. SOMALIAND sees Federal govement and Puntland as threat, so they have a common enemy, SOMALILAND made a deal with the devil, and will pay for this mistake eventually, either by never getting recognition, and international isolation.

@galbeedi said: I do not know when they changed but the real national anthem that has been sung for more than 20 years was: qoloba calankeedu waa caynoo innaga keenu wa cirkoo kale oo an caadna lahayne caashaqa xidigyey cadi waad na ciidamisee Caradaa Keligaa Adow Curadee Cadceeda sideeeda Caan noqo e I do not know when they changed. Galbeedi, the national anthem as in the new constitution is QOLABAA CALANKEEDU With the subject, it is too trivial, the whole country and system is broken and will take a time to rebuild , looking for small trivial mistakes is not a good idea, if you have a better things to improve, literature, or have things to contribute, join the movement, you are welcome. But the idea of I am better , and ego, is beside the point. It is nothing but small minded clannish, my tuulo, my tribe is better that we have seen for years. I know better, and isolating yourself, will not take you anywhere, SOOMAALIYA HANOOLAATO!

It is true, SOMALIS are very unfair, and have been very critical to Yusuf Garaad, who I would say he is one of the most qualified person in the government, don't understand what is all the fuzz, yes, he seems a bit arrogant, and straight shooter, give him a break. The issue with Mahad Abib, is very complex, He is SOMALI, 100% but he is not asylum seeker, he was a Norwegian citizen, who lost his citizenship because he was found to be Djiboutian, and all his family live in Djibouti, how many SOMALIS from KENYA(Siju) , ETHIOPIA, and DJibouti, claim asylum, as SOMALI from SOMALIA and received Citizenship, claiming to be from SOMALI Republic? There are even Eritreans, and Amharas. Absolutely, Yusuf garad could not solve the issue of this guy, he doesn't know about, he has to go through proper channels. http://norwaytoday.info/news/une-will-not-reverse-decision-revoke-citizenship-mahamud/

it is very true that violence has increased since Farmaajo/Kharye came to power,, it is all because the previous team, HASSAN QOSLAAYE/Omar were doing absolutely nothing, even working with anarchist,and shabaab. also majority of the problem were caused by groups doing with impunity, hada iyagiii baa lagu soo jeestey. There will be long lasting peace in Mogadishu/Somalia, once these are cleared, and no surprise in the short term with alot of Moryaan around, it will get a lot more difficult before smooth sailing It only shows the GREAT work of Khayre and his government , Well done, and keep the good work. the status quo, and business as usual will not be the case, Meesha is bedel baa socda, and dabcan dad badan baa ka soo horjeeda, war profiteers etc

could you please share the source, how legit is this?

It is bizarre and crazy when people dying and there is a plenty of food, it is all knowledge, and changing mindset, I said in another thread , going to the sea without even knowing how to fish, You get a lot from there, crab etc I am against the continuations of the cycle, collecting money, buying food and distribute, and it continues, Training people of survival skills, of fishing skills, farming skills, water catchments irrigations projects, those should be priority. I was watching a video before from Burco, old man said, "it is a major disaster , we are forced to eat FISH", what a mindset!
