It is democratic so you need to stop crying "stop critizing Siilaanyo" as if the place is North Korea and he is Kim Jong Un , criticism is part of democracy.

Don't critize him? Do you think this is North Korea? I think you're on the wrong forum dude. His flaws will be pointed out when neccesary.

Wiil Cusub nearly 7 million or 3 million it is still looks way better than Hargeisa's "10 million" airport. cheap labor shouldn't be a excuse, there is 85% unemployment in Somaliland on top of the Oromo residents in Somaliland that needs jobs.

Wiil Cusub Quoting something Mohamud Hashi Abdi (a well known crook) said doesn't make your case seem more believeable. Yes the Jigjiga airport did cost less than Hargeisa airport and it looks way better. 62.6 million birr is around 3.24 million dollars. "The new Jijiga Airport launches operation today, Sunday, July 1, 2007, landing its first aircraft from Abyssinia Air Service. Akir Construction Plc, a local company, recently completed a 45m wide and three kilometre long runway for the Airport at a cost of 62.6 million Ethiopian Birr. " http://www.ethiopiainsight.com/news/jijigas_new_airport.htm Somaliland airport is still under construction even after that "10" million and it looks not much different from how it looked like yesterday. So it is either Siilaanyo stole the money or he hired a novice builders, who have no idea what they are doing at all.

This is not a comparison about who is worse, rather Kulmiye is failing the nation, if you want to talk about UDUB it is better to open a different thread. The reason Kuwait donated $5 million more is because the $5 million donated couldn't finish the project since Siilaanyo and his court jesters mismanaged it and they had to be rescued from further humiliation. The Jigjiga airport cost around $5 - 10 million and it is way better built than the Hargeisa airport that Siilanyo claims to have built it with $10 million Kuwaiti donated cash but looks like barely $1 million refurbishment . It is clear he is corrupted. As for the donation of course it is important since it is not out of Siilaanyo's pocket is it? No need to try brag about something that was donated by another nation as his "achievement".

What has the fact Siilaanyo failed got to do with communities? Don't get your knickers in a twist cause the truth has been pointed out. Building long roads or ports is simply out of his capacity. Thus him running around like a headless chicken in his last year of office putting a stones everywhere is simply a political campaigning and any sane person can see it.

A couple of buildings a Kuwait donated aid money to the airport is not something to brag about. What is worse is he messed up the airport even with the aid money given to him by Kuwait.When he couldn't finish it on time due to corruption, Kuwait had to lend him another $5 million and the airport doesn't still look like it has been invested in $1 million nevermind the $10 million. So yes Siilaanyo is very corrupted. Don't expect him to be able to build multi million port projects, it is simply out of his capacity.

Alpha we are just tired of false promises just for the sake of political campaigning. Have you heard of this new joke in Somaliland towns. Lughaya hal dhagax saylac hal dhagax laasqoray hal dhagax ceerigaabo hal dhagax oo wayn burco dhwr dhagax ayuuu madaxwenuhu soo dhigay qofkii baloodh dhagax loo dhigow dhakhso ula xidhiidh xirsi ama caddaani.

galbeedi Agreed. I had a similar suggestion in mind, it logical that the combined voters of WADANI and UCID can clearly humiliate Kulmiye big time as they have numerical advantage. As you know nowadays WADANI and UCID party are tight, I think their supporters would have no problem with rotation between the two parties. One taking the President the other Vice. It could be the strongest ever alliance in Somaliland, it can be a good way to dislodge Kulmiye.

<cite> @SomaliaRising said:</cite> Amazing Super Clowns. LOL Indeed .

Rusty used trucks brought from Hargeisa is not newsworthy. Like I said development first, brag later. All this business of laying stones everywhere and not completing earlier projects is a joke.

People want development not he visited this village or that.

Somaliland:Recent Remarks made by Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki Moon Briefs Security Council on SL Political Situation In recent Security Council briefing the secretary general of the United Nations Ban Ki Moon on Somaliland and Somalia had this to say on the current political situation on Somaliland. “In “Somaliland”, relations between the Government and the opposition deteriorated. The Justice and Welfare Party claimed it had been denied freedom of movement and permission to hold peaceful demonstrations against the Government. Meanwhile, Mr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi “Irro”, Speaker of the “Somaliland” House of Representatives and Chair of Wadani (opposition party), announced his support for the holding of a national dialogue conference as called for by the opposition parties. On 18 December, talks held between “Somaliland” President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo and Speaker Irro resulted in an agreement on the holding of a conference, provided that a neutral party would chair it. http://somalilandpress.com/somalilandrecent-remarks-made-by-secretary-general-of-the-united-nations-ban-ki-moon-briefs-security-council-on-sl-political-situation-49003

Maydh, Sanaag

Fixed.

Siilaanyo is everything that is wrong with African leaders, making promises he can't fulfill in his last year on top of past projects he couldn't complete. As a 80 year old one would think he would at least have some respect for himself and not make false promises to the locals for political campaigning. Lughaya port Las Qoray port Maydh port

It is good to travel through the country coast to coast, but for what? President of Somaliland, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud (Siranyo), started a long voyage through Somaliland by land, meeting with locals and promising development in a campaign style this week and is still travelling. Some residents in Bulohar near Bebera city were so appreciative to receive shipment of rice from the President’s delegation and praised him to the highest level. I was so touched by the innocence of this community and surprised how they perceived this aids arrival. They saw it as if it was the gift of the President rather than their god given rights. It is clearly shown how the Somalilander to this day and age are not informed about their rights as a citizen of this country. Sadly, they do not see the President as their public employee whom they could replace in any time. Public requires to be educated about this and should know that it was the responsibility of the president to know their condition and hard hit areas before he took office not three years later. Nonetheless, the President placed a stone in every town he stops and continue promising additional projects from Borome, Saylac, Lughaya, Bulahar , all the way to Lasgoreh, again it is all good, but for what purpose does this have? What is the point of promising additional projects if you couldn’t deliver or complete outstanding ones? Ever since, this three years old administration came to power in Somaliland, there was no shortage of promises and placing stones. So many different projects were commenced in different parts of the country, but none of them had been completed as yet. Isn’t it logical and realistic to complete one task before you start the next one? Yes, but it seems in this administration, quantity of the projects started is far more important than the quantity of the finished ones. Just to name a few incomplete projects, the road of Odweyne to Hargeysa, Hargeysa to Ina-guha, Hargeysa to Baligubadle, Hargeysa to Lughaya, and the number of road projects in Gabiley Area , Berbera to Hiis, Hargeysa to Bebera and Buro to Erigavo are somewhat under construction for the past two years. However, the government of Somaliland sees these projects as clan driven, and does not think of themselves as having any chief responsibility except the one from Buro to Eregavo. In addition to these incomplete roads, 70% Hargeysa residence does not have any running water. Precedential palace Minister Mr. Hirsi H. Hassan, reiterated known information about Hargeysa’s water shortage last month, but did not provide any concrete solution to Hargeysa’s water predicament. This is the most pressing issue in Somaliland today as far as the average Hargeysa resident is concerned. Nevertheless, though there is no plan, no priority and no accountability in this government, but energy and ambition to achieve something. In order to harness this energy and focus into the right direction for whatever is left in this President’s term, President Siraanyo needs to sit down, analyze and revaluate his government’s performances. To achieve this, he has to sit down with an independent group of economists alone with his Minister of Planning to set the priority of the nation straight and decide which project has to be first. He also needs to avoid any traces and resemblances of the past regimes, such as surrounding himself with victory pioneers, Red Pat securities personals and praises of those well wishers around him. This can cause unintended consequences if it does not come to an end as well as destroy the legacy of the presidency. http://somalilandpress.com/somalilander%E2%80%99s-wants-real-and-tangible-development-not-empty-promises.-49044

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> they think government means having big buildings called Wasaarado. Do you remember six floor buildings in Mogadishu resided by Wasaaradaha. They can not open any hospital because they did not build one single. Ministry of public works means physically building roads, not having 200 employees with minister and directors doing nothing other than fight over the aid money. very day they open big buildings for useless ministries. The company I work have a sales of $ 20 million dollars a year and the staff of managers, sales reps, account managers and all of the employees of up to 100 use one floor divided by cubicles. If you ask these incompetent Kulmiye, how much did you spent in health care, roads, and schools? it could probably less than 10% of the whole budget. 1+ That is another vital issue you raised Galbeedi. This latest incident is disgrace though, they could have built a water well with the money they used on useless scooters.

So she is from Bari not bad. You sure she is not married though .

Kulmiye Leadership is reducing the Country into failed state What is happening in Somaliland today is utterly shocking. Corruption is becoming rampant; a million dollar was spent to oust the current speaker of the parliament. Clans are made hostile and suspicious of each other. Our traditional system is exploited and manipulated by the current government. Some clans are favored by the president and allocated most of the top 100 government positions. Other clans are left in the cold. They are given very few or no ministerial positions, general directors or army generals, because they have leaders who are critical to president Silaanyo and his political affairs. Government power is shared unfairly, by any parameter, geographically or clan. The top senior ranking officers of the armed forces are chosen from favored clans of president Silaanyo. Under his direction, Somaliland is tearing apart. Social mobility and equal opportunities are becoming unusual. In order to fill civil servant positions, members of his clan are head hunted from far afield, such as Western Europe and North America. Land conflicts are plotted by his ministers in places like, Kalshaale area in the south, Berbera area in the north and the fertile Elbardale area, in the west of Somaliland. Animosity between two neighboring communities is engineered with the intention of securing the votes of one of them. And then take hold of whatever resource on and under that particular place. Freedom of speech is suffering from a great blow. Young journalists are assaulted by the police frequently. License of broadcasting TV corporates are revoked, simply because they present prank entertainment programs about the president. Demonstrations are collided with the newly created rapid reaction force (RRU) under the pretext of security reasons. Casualties are reported often. World Bank report documented recently that the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. Wealth and the resources of the country are not distributed justly. Tribalism has come back to the national politics, something we have almost succeeded to eradicate. The current president, Siilaanyo Is taking Somaliland 15 years back. His government is undermining the principles and the pillars of our young and fragile democracy. Our people are losing confidence in the government system. Politics of “the winner takes all” is applied by his clan ministers. Indhodeero business group, which is owned by his kinsmen were given the go ahead, to build, their own private veterinary Centre at Berbera port. Nobody else could have secured such lucrative deal. We remember also how this government gave concession (100%) for the cement factory in Berbera, without the consultations of the local communities, the parliament and the wider civil society. Kuwait donated us 10 million to build the Hargeisa and Berbera airport. The contracts were given close kinsmen of president Siilaanyo . Hersi, the chief cabinet (a type of prime minister Position) managed Genel Energy resources, the jobs negatively. The contracts were all assigned to his sub clan members. Local communities started demonstrating to express their dissatisfaction and president Silanyo’s government answered by firing at the demonstrators. The situation became dangerous. Shortly after, Genel Energy stopped its operations in Somaliland. Nepotism is getting practiced so evidently in our little country that could have done wonders for all of us. National political parties are approached autocratically by President Siilanyo’s inner circle group. It is becoming a disaster for Somaliland future. Foosiya H Yuusuf became so bitter, that made her shift to the enemy camp. Dr. Gaboose, the oxford trained Lawyer, Mr.Hassan Isse And Ibraahim Dhagaweyne the military commander are even more bitter. They cannot hear anything to do with president Siilaanyo. UCID party leader, F. A. waraabe was told uf uf through the national TV. Presidential candidate of UCID, Mr Jamaal A Husein was physically blocked by using the army. A public figure was deprived from his basic right to be able to travel to Gabiley and interact with his supporters. People in Somaliland could not believe what they witnessed on the TV and tablet screens. It was horrifying and a reminder of Siyaad Barre ruling style. Abdirahman Abdiqadir was a senior Kulmiye politician. He worked so hard and invested so much, even selling his families properties for the sake of Kulmiye party. Unfortunately, we remember, how he was dumped, humiliated publicly in a very unprofessional and undemocratic manner. His cry at the Kulmiye confession It was shocking to everyone in Somaliland. . Michiavelism based on divide and rule is the philosophy that is reducing Somaliland into banana republic The current president, Siilaanyo reshuffled his cabinet several times, but never replaces ministers from his clan. We remember, the summer when his minister of aviation closed single handedly the Berbera International airport. Hundreds of the diaspora, and business men were stranded. There was neither satisfactory explanation nor compensations for those people who were delayed to attend to their schools and jobs. No other minister could have secured the trust and the support of the president despite his/her shortcomings. International community is given mixed signals by president Siilanyo’s government. One day they are defending Somaliland, the next day, our president is in somalai conference. One day they tell us, recognition is paramount, the next day; our foreign minister is in the middle of Somalia’s investment conference in Nairobi. Our man in South Africa, the professor has been alienated. Our representative in Sweden was highly respected by the Swedish government, yet he was replaced. Our relationship with Ethiopia was put in a big question mark from the beginning of this Kulmiye government. This week, President Siilaanyo informed us that the parliament is separated from the government by law. Yet, in the same night, he gave the instructions to bribe members of the national assembly so hugely, to the point, they wouldn’t resist. His plans to oust the current speaker of the lower house, honorable Abdirahman Irro are worrying. It is creating outrage in the public. This issue has been the headline news of Somaliland news outlets. The nation was shocked and disappointed by president Siilaanyo’s deeds and michiavelism tactics. His ultimate goal is to delay the coming presidential elections and electoral registration. In order to achieve this goal he needs yes men in the most senior positions of the parliament. Then he will get extension for his presidential term. More than fifty news outlets in Somaliland confirmed differently and independently, the amount of money spent to change the standing point of members of the parliament. The most reported figure was a million US dollar to oust Abdirahman Irro, The speaker of House of Representatives. Public funds are used for his own gains. Our institutional building process is disrupted. This is going to be a deep scar on our national image. The contrast with the previous governments is clear. We remember the joy, when Somaliland was liberated under President Abdirahman Tuur. We remember the joy, happy faces and the celebrations of our people the day our constitution was pu to the referendum under the leadership of president Egal .We remember the day multiparty elections took place and our dream of democratic Somaliland was realized under President Riyaale leadership. Today there is great concern for Somaliland under the leadership of Silaanyo. Our country is getting in a mess and reduced into a banana state. http://somalilandpress.com/somalilandthe-consequences-of-electing-kulmiye-and-their-micheavialism-48194
