Interesting release. There is also more people working in Puntland compared to Somaliland. full document http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/325991506114032755/Somali-poverty-profile-2016-findings-from-wave-1-of-the-Somali-high-frequency-survey

Galbeedi well put. That is indeed the sad state of affairs in Somaliland currently.

Even the ports are being used to import khat. DEG DEG Markii Ugu Horaysay waxa Dekada Saylac Ka Soo Dagay Qaad Laga Keenay Yemen

Well put galbeedi you exposed the entire dangerous game being played in Ethiopia.

Suldaanka well put. However jobs need to be created for the youth and more recreational centers that is the only way to defeat the widespread khat addiction. Somaliland can never develop to its potential if majority of the population are drugged up.

Khat addiction is a big problem and needs to be tackled. It is a sad sight hundreds of grown men running around like animals so they can chew some grass.

Today few cars carrying miira khat entered in the market and were stormed by hundreds of khat addicts in central Hargeisa. Dhibaatada umaad drugaysaan wa tan.

Che you have to realize the only way to make khat addicts realize the reality is writing in big letters. Otherwise the nonsense of "Ethiopians are our brothers" will continue.

Suldaanka however you look at it, it is clear Somalilander lives have no value same goes for the rest of the Somalis in Ethiopia. Abdi Iley is just a puppet working for his Tigre masters. It is the Tigre gov that told him to provoke the Oromos in the first place.

The crackheads and khat addicts can't live without khat for 2 days.

@galbeedi said: This did happen within the Somali zone. It is the first time the large number is killed by Oromo. I blame Cabdi Illey who is used by the TPLF to oppress and kill he Oromo through his liyuu police. . It happened in Awaday it is part of Oromia it might have been part of Somali zone in the past. Everything has consequences, of course other ethnic groups will get angry if Somalis attack them following Tigray orders.

Che-Guavara incase you haven't noticed I am mocking the "Ethiopians are our brothers aka wiil Addis ku dhashay ba iga dhow wiil ku dhashay Mogadishu" politicians. Somalis are nothing overall in Ethiopia and the bottom of the pile.

32 Somalis killed in Haawaday district of eastern Ethiopia (Medeshi)- Aleast 32 Somalis were killed on Tuesday in Haawaday district of eastern Ethiopia. The killings are related to an ongoing conflict between the Oromos and the Somalis in region 5 of Ethiopia. 17 of the victims have been identified as Somalilanders from Awdal region. Most of the victims were Khat traders, drivers and support workers. Haawaday is one of the locations where Khat is exported to Somaliland. The Oromos have accused the Liyu police of the Ethiopian Somali region of killing its people; but the spokesman for the Liyu police told the VOA Oroma language that the accusation is baseless. http://www.medeshivalley.com/2017/09/32-somalis-killed-in-in-haawaday.html

Cadaani Oyaaye shubanka ka dhaaf topica. Unfortunately it seems you have gone senile like old man Silanyo and have nothing worthy to say nowadays.

Yawns. Poor ad-hominem won't get you anywhere Oodweyne. Do you really think anyone bothers to read your repetitive trash?

Galbeedi what do you think is the solution for this? it is a total disaster for the local economy and well being of the people. We are losing $1 million a day, $28 million a month and a $336 million a year to Ethiopia voluntarily. When such a high number eat the drug I can understand why it is easy for the corrupted politicians to try to sell the never coming "ictiraaf" dream to the drugged up public. "Around 90 percent of adult males in Somaliland chew the narcotic plant khat. They’re after 'mirqaan,' the Somali word for the buzz that it can give. Somalilanders spend a total of more than $1 million (930,000 euros) a day on khat. 'My friends lend me the money,' said Abdikhalid when asked how he can afford khat even though he is out of work. 'Once I’m employed again I will return the favor." http://www.dw.com/en/chewing-khat-in-somaliland/g-18371308

Oodweyne you seem very upset about the reality. Fact is Somaliland is not getting recognition. Somaliland is just like any other semi autonomous region part of Somalia just like Puntland. Nothing special. Anaga third world without sewage system ha ino xayaysiin.

Barwaaqo that isn't the only case. DP World has been in charge of the port since October 2016 and yet we don't see any improvements? sounds like a scam.

@Peace Action said: Dadka buufiska gooni isu taag kudhacay, waxay lamidyihiin dhaliyarada badda ku rogmatay. Saalax iyo inta "pragmatic ah" waa idinka saxsan yihiin waayo waxay ogaadeen in dadka jecel inay Somalia kala jaraan inay weli derbi madaxa ku qaraacayaan. Instead they should put more energy into Somali unity. I don't know how any sane person can believe recognition is coming anyway after nearly 30 years.

Suldaan thanks for telling us your background but what has that got to do with what Xildhibaan Kijandhe said?

Barwaaqo adiga uu bahan ina af somaaliga so baratiid. " ICTIRAAF RAADINTUNA WAA MADHALAYS" aka the seeking of recognition is infertile. Markay naag tahay infertile ma laga dhigi kara fertile? jawaabtu wa maya.
