They are just bitter people.

Taleexi I have already moved on, it is you who stuck cheer leading for Somalia but sadly they ignore you and see you as irrelevant. I mean who blames the southerners for seeing your true colours, a community who makes a thief like Galaydh their leader.

Quit crying and man up. The "triangle" tribe you speak of is today ruling you in Ceerigaabo and forcing you to adopt the Somaliland currency and never dare to use the Somalia currency again in this area, if you don't like Somaliland rules leave to the Somalia border. Simple as.

The minority trouble makers have been arrested and some of them are in hospital.

Well if you don't resist the metal scrap looters like the locals of Marka did, then it will properly happen.

Baraawe isn't even liberated yet.

What went wrong is the WSLF got involved in dirty politics, they were fighting the SNM in the Somali Galbeed much of the 80s, so they lost track of their goals and instead settled for fighting for Siad Bare which of course ended up bad for them. SNM liberated Somaliland, while the WSLF lost track of its goals. So that is what went wrong and of course the fact Siad Bare sold them out in the deal with Mengistu in Djibouti.

If wasn't for SNM you would have been a second class in your own land. Be thankful SNM and USC sent Siad Bare to Nigeria.

Bantu countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Angola are actually more advanced than countries in the horn.

Norway pays Somalia's government salaries Monday, September 09, 2013 Norway has started paying the salaries of Somalia's government bureaucrats believing that this is the best way to help the fledgling state establish itself. Money from Norway's aid budget is going towards paying the salaries of 380 public employees in the country, with Price Waterhouse Coopers managing the transfers. The first payments were made last week, and went to workers in the country's Ministry of Finance and country's Auditor General, two organisations which need to be functional for the country to be able to fight the government corruption seen in the previous transitional administration. "What we expect is a strengthened public financial sector, which can control the budget, be transparent with their projects, and so enhance the reputation of the government," Norway's international development minister Eidsvoll Holmås said of the project. Last year, Somalia's parliament elected Sheikh Hassan Mohamud as its new president, but the state's ability to administer and control the country remains weak. "In Somalia, international organizations run schools, healthcare and do everything that a state is normally expected to do," Holmås said. "Building up the state's competence allows it to increase its legitimacy, and so you get greater incentives to create political stability and peaceful development." The payments are administered by PricewaterhouseCoopers and employees must register biometric data to ensure that the payments go only to the intended recipients. http://www.hiiraan.com/news4/2013/Sept/41046/norway_pays_somalia_s_government_salaries.aspx

Act civilized people. Why are you guys attacking each other rather than discussing the subject at hand?

It is about raising awareness, perhaps we have some SOLers who want to be like Mr Habeeb and go back home and help people.

I never said it is a laughing matter, it is a serious matter and awareness is being raised. More doctors are needed.

BY JAMES REINL | SEPTEMBER 6, 2013 Crazy Town After decades of civil war, Somalia is awash in mental illness and without a single trained psychiatrist. That the folk cure for PTSD involves being locked in a room with a hyena isn't helping MOGADISHU — Mohamed Abdulla Hersi reclines on a foam mattress in the Habeb Rehabilitation Treatment Center's crowded mental ward. Where is my M-16? My Kalashnikov?" he murmurs... his fatigues suggest he is an ordinary foot soldier -- and yearns to exit the locked compound and return to his comrades in arms. "I have more experience at the bad things," he says. Somalia has among the highest rates of mental illness globally, affecting at least one-third of its estimated 10 million people, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Rates are higher in Mogadishu and the turbulent south, where civilians have endured harsher stresses of war, drought, and instability. Many witnesses of bloodshed and atrocities face post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These sufferers roam free. Others are locked down, out of sight. Abubakar Mohamed Sheikhow, 23, was chained by his wrists and ankles in a metal shack for 12 months. Neighbors had restrained him after he violently attacked his mother. Very few if any of the city's wild-eyed denizens receive treatment. On one street in downtown Mogadishu, a dreadlocked woman pulls down her dress and exposes her breasts. Locals say her husband and seven children perished from disease. Elsewhere, a man grimaces by the roadside. In his hand is a bunch of khat, a socially accepted but addictive stimulant. Under a nearby bridge, unemployed homeless men with bloodshot eyes rest on flattened cardboard boxes after a night's leaf-chewing. Dowlay Hassaney, a 27-year-old schizophrenic, was chained to a bush in when health workers found her in 2011. Her husband had been apparently undeterred by her mental state: She gave birth three times during eight years spent shackled in the sun. At the Mogadishu facility where Hersi lies, vacantly staring into space, mattresses are strewn across floors, squeezed into storerooms and onto porches. Patients while away the hours in idle gossip and argument, hunkered down under flimsy steel roofs. Abdirahman Ali Awale (Habeb), who founded Mogadishu's first mental clinic in 2005, has been working feverishly over the years to improve and expand care. "War and conflict is the biggest problem causing mental disorder," says Habeb, his vocal chords straining from the combination of a birth defect and near-constant yelling. "Nobody supports the mental ill people in Somalia." Habeb looks exhausted and stressed. His son, Mohamed Alrahman Ali, worries that his father is overworked, that his diabetes, weight loss, and quick temper are worsened by helping Somalia's mentally ill. "I cry seven or eight times a day. I don't have any support. I am alone," says Habeb, his left leg jittering restlessly in a manner that resembles many of his patients. http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/08/16/crazy_town_somalia_mental_illness?page=0,0

Maydh to Waqderia in the outskirts of Las Qoray in Sanaag is settled by the western Burco group. That is where this Pontus Marine group is being set up, so it is Somaliland territory.

Somalia: President Farole Jetted Back From Addis Ababa After Airport Officials Did Not Allow Him to Enter 28 AUGUST 2013 The president of Somalia's semi-autonomous region of Puntland Abdutahman Mohamed Farolee has jetted back to Nairobi today after Ethiopian security officials rejected him to enter Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. According to reliable sources in Addis Ababa, president Farole has flown from Nairobi, Kenya through Ethiopian Airline flight but he has returned back with his flight to Nairobi. The Addis Ababa airport administration has informed president Farole and his delegation to return back because he did not hold an official invitation from Ethiopian government. After several attempts to negotiate with the airport administration, Puntland president has jetted back to Nairobi. President Farole has been in Kenya for the past three days and was traveling to Addis Ababa to attend the ongoing talks between the federal government of Somalia and the Raskamboni militia commander. Farole's visit to Addis Ababa was seen as disruptive against the reconciliation efforts in the country. http://allafrica.com/stories/201309021479.html
