Muqdisho (Caaismada Online) – Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud ayaa dhowaan safiiro cusub u magacaabi doona dalalka Khaliijka, si uu u miisaamo saameyntiisa gobolka. Xasan Sheekh ayaa qorsheynaya in inta badan safiirada uu beddeoi bishan Febraayo gudaheed iyo bisha Maarso, waxaana u jeedka ugu weyn uu yahay inuu meesha ka saaro diblomaasiyiinta aadka ugu dhow madaxweynihii hore ee Soomaaliya Maxamed Cabdullaahi Farmaajo, sida uu ku warramay wargeyska Africa Intelligence. Xasan Sheekh ayaa wasiirka arrimaha dibedda ka dhigay Abshir Cumar Huruse oo ah ganacsade reer Puntland ah, oo aan laheyn wax khibrad diblomaasiyadeed ah. Xulashada Xasan Sheekh ee Huruse ayaa aheyd mid siyaasadeed, oo siineysa xorriyad uu cidda uu doono ugu xusho safiir, ayada oo aan wax iska caabin ah laga fileyn dhanka Huruse. Taa beddelkeeda, waxaa safiirada la xuli doona wasiiru dowlaha arrimaha dibedda Cali Cumar Maxamed oo loo yaqaan Cali Balcad, oo ah gacanta midig ee madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh. Cali Balcad waxaa la rumeysan yahay inuu yahay wasiir arrime dibadeedka dadban ee Soomaaliya. Dalalka ay Xasan Sheekh iyo Cali Balcad diiradda saarayaan ayaa ah Masar iyo Qatar, oo safiirada jooga ay aad ugu dhow yihiin Fahad Yaasiin, madaxii hore ee sirdoonka Soomaaliya iyo gacanta midig ee madaxweyne Farmaajo. Safiirka Doha waa Cabdirisaaq Faarax Cali, oo ay ehel yihiin Fahad Yaasiin, islamarkaana kooxda Xasan Sheekh ay aad uga walaacsan tahay. Ayada oo safiirkii Qatar ee Soomaaliya Hassan bin Hamza Asad Muhammad Hashim uu dhowaan dib ugu laabtay Doha kadib markii la beddelay, Xasan Sheekh ayaa isbeddelkan u adeegsan doono mid uu qof aad ugu dhow uga dhigo safiirka Soomaaliya ee Qatar, taasi oo uu ku miisaamaayo awooddiisa siyaasadeed ee gobolka. Inkasta oo Xasan Sheekh aysan isku xumeyn Qatar, haddana waxaa la rumeysan yahay inuu aad ugu dhow yahay Imaaraadka Carabta. Ra’iisul wasaarihii hore ee Soomaaliya Maxamed Xuseen Rooble ayaa dadaal ugu jiro inuu noqdo safiirka Soomaaliya ee Abu Dhabi. Hase yeeshee wuxuu wajahayaa loolan uga imanaya madaxweynaha Puntland Saciid Cabdullaahi Deni oo doonaya in la magacaabo qof uu isaga wato, isaga oo adeegsanaya xiriirka dhow ee uu la leeyahay Imaaraadka Carabta. Safiirka Soomaaliya ee Masar, Ilyaas Sheekh Omar, waxaa la magacaabay bishii Febraayo 2021, si uu u beddelo Cabdiqani Maxamed Wa’ay, oo 2020 u dhintay cudurka COVID-19. Ilyaas, oo aad ugu dhow Fahad Yaasiin, ayaa waxaa salfan doona u dhowaanshihiisa madaxii hore ee sirdoonka, waxaana la filayaa in meesha laga saaro. Xilalka kale ee la filayo in isbeddelka lagu sameeyo waxaa ku jiri kara safiirka Sacuudiga, ayada oo xilka laga qaadi doono Saalim Xaaji Macow, oo uu magacaabay madaxweyne Farmaajo. Xasan Sheekh ayaa horraantii bishii tagtay u safray Riyadh. Safiirada Khaliijka ayaa muhiim u ah Soomaaliya sababo la xiriira taageerada dhaqaale ee dalalkaas ay siiyaan Soomaaliya iyo dadaallada ay dowladda federaalka ku raadineyso maal-gashi caalami ah. Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ayaa markii la magacaabay ballan-qaaday inaan cidna loo beegsan doonin, loogana aargudan doonin inay xiriir la leedahay Farmaajo, balse waxaa muuqata in isaga iyo wasiir arrime dibadeedkiisa dadban Cali Balcad aysan taas fulineyn. Bishii hore billowgeeda, waxaa xarunta madaxtooyada laga eryey shaqaale badan oo rayid ah, sababo la xiriira kaliya in la qoray xilligi madaxweyne Farmaajo. Sidoo kale qaar kale ayaa loo beegsaday qabiillada ay kasoo jeedaan darteed.

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The Somalia Football Federation (SFF) has been hit by a leadership crisis that threatens to derail the progress made in the last five years. Two factions have emerged, with claims of corruption, poor governance, and ethnic and political fighting, leading to the intervention of the Ministry of Sports and Congress members to stop planned parallel elections .on February 1 in Mogadishu. The first faction, led by acting President Ali Abdi Mohamed, had planned to hold their elections at the Elite Hotel. On the other hand, the coalition backing Wish Haji Yabarow, son of former Basketball Federation president Aden Haji Yabarow, was to hold their elections at Jazeera Hotel. Allegations of election rigging At least 20 members of Congress have raised allegations against Mohamed, accusing him of scheming a manipulated election. Critics of Mohamed point fingers at foreign influences as the root cause of the current stalemate, with Souleiman Waberi, the President of the Djibouti Football Federation, repeatedly implicated as a driving force behind Mohamed’s return. Abdurahman Mumin, a civil society activist, has accused Waberi of using his FIFA and CECAFA connections to influence the polls. Ali Barre, a co-owner of Hilaac Club, a Series B team, has appealed to FIFA to step in and rescue Somali football. A source cited by Caasimada Online reported that FIFA had extended an invitation to SFF officials for potential arbitration in light of the current turmoil. Successes and setbacks in the last five years Football in Somalia, post-civil war, has experienced a considerable expansion in the past five years. The league boasts a diverse array of foreign players from countries across Africa, including Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and Cameroon. The SFF has made remarkable achievements, including constructing world-class stadia and the October 2022 U-17 Cecafa win. However, former SFF President Abdiqani Said Arab was dismissed for abuse of power in December 2021 and was accused of misappropriating funds. FIFA guidance and ministry ultimatum The Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports suspended elections of the SFF that were to be held on December 28, 2022, after receiving complaints from some members of the football fraternity. The SFF electoral committee disregarded the guidelines outlined in the Somalia Stability Funds statutes, the electoral code, and FIFA’s overall guidance. The governing body of world football, FIFA, guided the SFF statutes to address the current dilemma, and the Ministry of Youth and Sports has set a deadline for the SFF to organize elections by January 30, 2023. Conclusion The fate of the SFF leadership and that of Somalia football remains in the hands of the 46 voting Congress members. The Congress comprises 25 independent organizations, coaches, universities, and federal state representatives. With the continued wrangles within the Somalia Football Federation, it remains to be seen how the future of football in the country will pan out.

Mandera (Caasimada Online) – Kenya has taken a significant step towards improving its relations with Somalia by announcing it will reopen the Mandera border post with Somalia to enhance border security and combat the smuggling of goods used to fund terrorism. The country’s Internal Security Minister, Kithure Kindiki, has directed county security teams to work with government agencies, including customs and immigration, to assess the requirements needed to renovate the border post and begin operations again. The Mandera crossing, along with those in Lamu, Wajir, and Garissa, was closed by Kenya in 2012 in an effort to prevent incursions by al-Shabab militants operating from Somalia. Despite the closures, people have continued illegally crossing the border and smuggling goods. Enhancing border security in Northeastern Kenya In order to address these security concerns, Minister Kindiki has tasked the county security team with identifying armed militants in the border region and working with political leaders and community elders to plan security operations. During a recent security tour in Mandera and Wajir counties, Kindiki emphasized the importance of community leaders and elders in these efforts. This move will significantly impact trade and commerce between the two countries and is expected to boost economic growth in the region. Al-Shabab attacks in Northeastern Kenya The northeast region of Kenya has suffered a series of attacks by al-Shabab militants in recent years. The deadliest attack occurred in 2015 when the group killed nearly 150 people at Garissa University College. Al-Shabab has been active in Kenya since 2011 when the country first contributed troops to the African Union-led peacekeeping mission in Somalia. Reopening the Mandera border post is seen as a crucial step in improving security in the region and preventing the flow of smuggled goods that fund terrorism. Improving relations after years of tensions The relationship between the two countries has been improving in recent months after being strained for several months due to a maritime border dispute. In 2021, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) finally ruled in favor of Somalia, but Kenya rejected the ruling and the dispute has continued to be a source of tension between the two nations. Despite this setback, both countries were determined to improve relations and resolve the issue. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, upon his re-election, sought to improve relations between Somalia and Kenya. He visited Kenya twice, meeting with outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta and newly elected President William Ruto. During the bilateral talks, both countries reached several agreements, one of which was Somalia lifting the ban on Khat and Kenya committing to facilitate the entry and movement of Somali citizens. The reopening of the first border post between Kenya and Somalia after more than a decade is a positive step towards improving relations and boosting economic growth in the region.

Dowladda Kenya ayaa xirtay dhammaan soohdimaha rasmiga ah ee ay la wadaagto Soomaaliya sanadkii 2012-kii, si ay u joojiso duullaanka Al-Shabaab oo ka carootay howlgalka ay ciidanka Kenya ka wadaan gudaha Soomaaliya. Goobaha la xiray ee xuduudka waxaa ka mid ah isgoyska Mandheera iyo marinadii Lamu, Wajeer iyo Gaarisa. Xiritaankaas ayaan dadka safarka ah ka joojinin in ay si sharci darro ah xadka uga gudbaan ama ay alaab kotorobaan ah u dhoofiyaan gudaha Kenya. Wasiirka Amniga Kenya ayaa cadeeyey in qorshaha lagu furayo xuduuda Soomaaliya iyo Kenya uu u wakiishay kooxda amniga ee Kowntiga, kuwaas oo soo ogaanaya, kana hor-tegi doona dhaqdhaqaaqyada maleeshiyaadka hubeysan ee ku dhuumaaleysta aagga xuduuda labada dal. “Waxaan farayaa kooxda amniga ee Kowntiga in ay la fariistaan ​​madaxda siyaasadda iyo odayaasha qorshe ay hagi doonaan madaxda bulshada iyo odayaasha, si looga sifeeyo maleeshiyada hubeysan ee Mandheera iyo guud ahaan gobolka Waqooyi Bari,” ayuu yiri Wasiir Amniga Kenya Mr. Kindiki. Wasiirka oo khudbad u jeediyay hogaamiyayaasha la doortay ee Mandheera iyo odayaasha dhaqanka ee magaalada ayaa ku celceliyay in loo baahan yahay in odayaasha ay ka qeyb qaataan howlgallada amniga lagu xaqiijinayo. Shantii sano ee la soo dhaafay, gobolka Waqooyi Bari Kenya waxaa ka dhacay weerarro xiriir ah oo ay geysteen dagaalyahannada Al-Shabaab. Weerarkii ugu khasaaraha badnaa ee kooxda Al-shabaab ay ka fulisay gobolkaas ayaa Jaamacadda Gaarisa ka dhacay sanadkii 2015-kii, waxaana lagu dilay ugu yaraan 150 qof oo arday u badnaa. Kooxda Al-Shabaab oo fadhigeeda ugu weyn uu yahay Soomaaliya ayaa gudaha Kenya dhaqdhaqaaqyo ka waday tan iyo sannadkii 2011-kii, xiligaas oo ciidanka Kenya ay gudaha u soo galeen Soomaaliya, waxayna markii dambe ku biireen howlgalka nabad ilaalinta u jooga Soomaaliya ee Midowga Afrika (ATMIS).

Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – Somalia has been ranked as the most corrupt country in the world by Transparency International, a Berlin-based corruption watchdog. The country received only 12 out of a possible 100 points in the 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index, which surveyed 180 countries. The never-ending conflict in Somalia is a leading cause of corruption, along with terrorism, suppression of media freedom, political, social, and economic instability, and suppressed freedom of speech. Corruption and conflict: A vicious cycle Conflict and corruption are intertwined in Somalia, with one feeding into the other. Corruption undermines the government’s ability to protect the people and erodes public trust, leading to more security threats that are harder to control. On the other hand, conflict creates opportunities for corruption and subverts the government’s efforts to stop it. The continued conflict in Somalia has created a favorable environment for corruption to thrive. The root causes of corruption in Somalia Somalia has been experiencing extreme levels of poverty. It is battling its worst drought in 40 years. However, the corruption in the country has made it unattractive to relief food agencies. The resultant dysfunctional institutions are primarily to blame for the continuing corruption, as they enable misrule. A lack of any form of regulatory mechanisms to address the situation means corruption continues to remain rampant in Somalia. Corruption affects virtually every aspect of the country, from the judicial system to public services, administration, police, tax and customs administration, legislation, natural resources, public procurement, and civil society. Fighting corruption in Somalia Daniel Eriksson, CEO of Transparency International, believes leaders can fight corruption and simultaneously promote peace. Governments must open up space to include the public in decision-making, including activists, business owners, marginalized communities, and young people. Despite some improvements in the 2021 ranking, Somalia is once again ranked as the most corrupt country in the world in the recently released Corruption Perception Index by Transparency International. The dissolution of anti-corruption bodies Transparency International raised concerns about President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s decision to dissolve anti-corruption bodies in October 2022, noting that this indicates that he’s not ready to tackle corruption in the country. The dissolution of the Judicial Service Commission, which is responsible for the administration of justice in the country, means that corruption cases can only be effectively prosecuted if President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud reconstitutes the two critical organs that handle corruption cases. Foreign aid and corruption in Somalia Somalia primarily relies on foreign aid to run its $967 million budget and aims to collect $230 million this year. However, questions have been raised about the commitment to fight corruption, as financial assistance from international partners is only sometimes accounted for. Seychelles continues to lead Africa with a CPI score of 70, followed by Botswana and Cabo Verde. Despite some improvements, the rest of the African countries have stagnated or deteriorated in their ratings, with Africa struggling to root out corruption. Conclusion Somalia’s corruption crisis is a deep-rooted problem that affects virtually every aspect of the country. Conflict and corruption are intertwined, with one feeding into the other. The dissolution of anti-corruption bodies and the continued reliance on foreign aid raise questions about the commitment to fight corruption in the country. Somalia must address its corruption problem to boost investor confidence and attract relief food agencies.

Hargeisa (Caasimada Online) – When Somaliland’s principal tribal elders and political figures began establishing their own breakaway administration Thirty years ago, on May 18th, 1991, they pledged to eliminate tribalism and unite their enclave’s disparate tribes into a cohesive nation. But that was a short-lived dream. Throughout the next 30 years – especially when their state started to shape up – its successive leaders have succumbed to the temptation to toy with clan loyalties, sowing discord among them to tighten their grip, thereby marginalizing some key tribes. In the vacuum, as Somaliland’s leaders continued favoring a few tribes at the expense of others, including indigenous tribes, vertical inequalities, lack of political rights, and economic grievances started to grow, creating a long battle about identity and historical sentiments tribes had nursed around who belongs to the land. Decades-long discriminations and marginalization against some tribes, including those based in eastern regions and territory stretching from the border with Ethiopia where much of oil resources are located, added to the grievances that ignited protests against Somaliland’s leader which saw the resources’ rich territory fell from his grip last month. When the anti-government protests erupted in Lasanod, a town in Sool, a region that Somaliland occupied 15 years ago from the neighboring Puntland, Somaliland’s leader Muse Bihi appeared unsure how to respond. At first, he insisted that calls for an end to the mysterious extrajudicial killings in the town by the protestors had been put in the shade by saboteurs who were part of an external conspiracy to undermine Somaliland’s stability and unity. In the following weeks, Mr. Bihi ordered his troops to crackdown against protesters, with soldiers and battlewagons sent into the restive town to combat “criminal gangs.” At least 10 protestors were killed. Despite the intensifying crackdown, the revolt continued unabated in the town. Protestors began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and then to oust ‘occupying’ forces from their town. Anti-Somaliland militias have taken control of the city after evicting forces loyal to the government. The eastern region of Sool, the epicenter of the anti-British and Italian control resistance in Somaliland in 1899, has long represented a political headache for Somaliland leaders. Challenging the breakaway state’s rule, leaders of the anti-Somaliland uprising, including the most influential tribal chiefs, have since returned home, ending nearly two decades of exile. Hundreds of local politicians, elders, and residents assembled in a massive conference hall in Lasanod town, now entirely under tribal militia’s control. They announced unilateral plans to establish their autonomous government, declaring independence from Somaliland. The uprisings, although over long-festering grievances that neither successive Somaliland governments solved, appear to be threatening the rule of the current Somaliland leader, who has recently embarked on a controversial two-year term extension, ignoring calls by the opposition to hold elections. In a sign of growing cracks within the government on the backdrop of the uprising, several officials broke with Bihi’s administration. In protest over the deadly response to the protests before they devolved into an armed uprising. Seeking to contain the fallout from the revolt in the Sool region, Bihi, the Somaliland president now facing the threat of the rebellion spread into other regions, deployed more troops in potential hotspots. The prospect of partition has hung over Somaliland, partly owing to its long history of political discord and its relatively short history of harmony despite it being a peaceful haven in the troubled horn of Africa region. Some major clans in the region resented the exclusive patronage and benefits, including the unfair distribution of resources that Somaliland leaders have granted to a network of favorite tribes. The capture of Lasanod town by tribal militias has also revealed signs of shifting loyalties within the security apparatus as members of the Somaliland troops have defected and joined the revolt against president Bihi, indicating that their tribal connection can trump over loyalty to their leader.

Iran ayaa ku eedaysay dalka Israa’iil inay diyaaradaha aan duuliyaha lahayn ay u adeegsadeen, weerar ay ku qaadeen magaalada Isfahan ee ku taalla badhtamaha dalka Iran, kaasoo dhacay maalintii Sabtida ahayd. Qoraal lagu baahiyey bogga ay leedahay safaaradda Iran u qaabilsan Qaramada Midoobay ayaa lagu sheegay in calaamadaha hordhaca ahi inay muujinayaan in Israa’iil ay ka masuul ahayd “isku-dayga fal gardarro ah”. Warqadda ka soo baxday dalka Iran laguma soo bandhigin caddaymo gaar ah. Dawladda Iran ayaa sheegtay in weerarka ay ku lug lahaayeen saddex diyaaradood oo ah, kuwa aan duuliyaha lahayn, kuwaas oo bartilmaameedsaday goob lagu tababaro ciidamada, waxaana la toogtay lama ka mid ah, diyaaradahaas.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Ergeyga gaarka ah ee Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya u qaabilsan Arrimaha Gurmadka Abaaraha, Xildhibaan Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur ayaa qoraal dheer kasoo saaray shirkii Arbacadii ay magaalada Muqdisho ku yeesheen madaxweynaha Soomaaliya iyo madaxda Jabuuti, Ethiopia iyo Kenya. Xildhibaan Cabdiraxmaan Cabdishakuur ayaa waxa uu sheegay in shirkan uu ka dhigan yahay in dowladda Soomaaliya ay nabad la tahay deriskeeda, islamarkaana ciidanka Soomaaliya uu hoggaanka u hayo dagaalka argagixisada ka dhanka ah. “Waxaase aragti, istiraatiijiyad iyo xeeladba u bahaan maaraynta is diiddada faragelintii shalay argagexisada keentay iyo taageerada looga rabo in lagu ciribtiro,” ayuu Cabdiraxmaan ku yiri qoraalkiisa. Sidoo kale waxa uu qoraalkiisa iskula xiriiriyay dhacdooyin dhacay 2005 illaa 2007-dii, kuwaasi oo iftiiminaya halka ay taagan tahay Soomaaliya iyo meesha ay ka imaatay. Shirka Soomaliya iyo Dalalka Safka hore ayaa waxa lagaga arrinsanayey sidii loo mideyn lahaa howl-galada lagu cirib-tirayo argagixisada, ayada oo madaxda ay isla garowsadeen baahida loo qabo iskaashi sare loogu qaadayo garab is-taagga dalalka deriska ah ee la xiriira dagaalka ay Soomaaliya kula jirto Al-Shabaab. Hoos ka aqriso qoraalka Cabdiraxmaan oo dhameystiran. Sanadkii 2005, Nairobi oo xilligaa fadhi u ahayd Baarlamaankii KMG ahaa ee Dawladda Federaalka, ayey Xildhibaannadii kuraasta isla dhaceen kadib markii ay isku khilaafeen in Soomaaliya la geeyo ciidan ka socda dalalka safka hore, waxaa xilligaa si gaar ah loo diiddaanaa Itoobiya. 17 sano ka dib dawladihii safka hore ayaa maanta Muqdisho ku shiraya, iyagoo gurmad ciidan iyo guluf colaadeed looga rabo dagaalka argagexisada Al-Shabaab ka dhanka ah. Xilliga kuraasta la isla dhacayo dooddu waxay ahayd derisku dano toos ah oo afsaar ah ayey dalkeena ka leeyihiin, sidaas darteed laguma kalsoonaan karo, halka doodda deriska ay ahayd in halista amni darrida Soomaaliya ay iyaga toos u taabanayso, waxayse ku dhamaatay in safka hore laga reebo oo Uganda, Burundi iyo Sierra Leone la keeno. Sanadkii 2006, markii ay guuldaraysteen wadahaladii Midowgii Maxkamadaha iyo Dawladdii KMG ahayd, saraakiil ka tirsan Maxkamadaha ay farriimo hanjabaad ah Itoobiya warbaahinta u mariyay, durba Itoobiya hadalkii bay la booday, waxayna ku marmarsiyootay in halistii amni ay durba dig soo tiri, iyadoo taageero caalami ah wadata ayey cagta marisay Maxkamadihii. Sanadkii 2007, markii la aasaasay Isbahaysigii dib u xoraynta Soomaaliya, kooxda Al-Shabaab ayaa gooni isku taagtay, kadib weerarro iyo afduub ay gudaha iyo xadka Kenya ka gaysteen, Kenya oo iyaduna ku doodaysa in ay Soomaaliya halis amni kaga imaanayso ayaa sanadkii 2011 gudaha u soo gashay waddanka. Dawladihii xilka iskaga danbeeyey ayaa Kenya iyo Itoobiya u oggolaaday in ay AMISOM ka mid noqdaan, Jabuutina way ku soo biirtay, maadaama aysan ka maqnaan karin, mar haddii dawlidihii kale ay Soomaaliya galeen. Maraykan oo hor kacayey taageerada caalamiga iyo Itoobiya oo hawlgalka gudaha wadday, labaduba ma inkirsana in faragelintii iyo duullaankii Itoobiya uu qayb wayn ku lahaa soo ifbaxa iyo kobaca kooxda Al-Shabaab. Dhinac waa ka ayaan dari oo ah in dawladihii aan la tartami lahayn, kulana loollami lahayn hoggaanka Geeska Afrika ay maanta gurmad ciidan inoo yihiin, Soomaalidu waxay ku maahmaahdaa “Lax waliba shillinkii ay is dhigtaa lagu gawracaa”!! Dhinaca kale, yididdiilo ayaa muuqata maadaama shirka uu Muqdisho ka dhacayo, taasoo ka dhigan in dawladu Soomaaliya ay nabad la tahay deriskeeda, iyaduna marti gelinta, ajandaha iyo hoggaanka shirka leedahay, ciidanka Soomaaliya uu hoggaanka u hayo dagaalka argagexisada ka dhanka ah, waxaase aragti, istiraatiijiyad iyo xeeladba u bahaan maaraynta is diiddada faragelintii shalay argagexisada keentay iyo taageerada looga rabo in lagu ciribtiro. Taasi waa jebinta qandhada cudurka oo ah sidii aan isaga dulqaadi lahayn argagexisada arxan laawayaasha ah ee ina baday in aan ajnabi asaageen ah maciinsano?. Waxaanse is moogaysiin iyo dhalanteed lagu dhaafi karin in aan dhab uga wada hadalno sababaha keenay cudurka asaageen naga reebay? Sideen qabyaaladda, gobolaysiga, kooxaysiga, musuqa, eexda, qof jecylasiga iyo danaysiga shakhsiga ah uga bixi karnaa ama u dhimi karnaa?. Wadajirna ugu duubannaa ka shaqaynta danta guud, saraynta sharciga iyo dhismaha dawlad loo siman yahay oo xaqsoor ku dhisan, taasoo ilaalisa xuquuqda muwaadinka, iyo danta qaranka The post CC Shakuur oo si aan la fileyn u dhigay shirkii Muqdisho ee madaxda dalalka safka hore appeared first on Caasimada Online.
