Because we are patriarchal, we just count our fathers side but I bet you if you ask about your grandmothers, their mothers etc i.e. if you follow the women, you will find out we are all mongrels. I asked my mum to do a small map for me by asking: 1. What clan was my father's mother? 2.What clan is your mother? 3. What clan was my father's grandmother? 4. What clan was your grandmother? 5. How about the clans of the husbands of all these women? You get the picture! I was astounded that just 4 generations into the map, I counted 5 different clans, from cagdheers, to reer gedo, to certain sections of SLers - all different from if I follow just my father's line, and his father and so on. So if you do, what in social sciences they call "intensity scoring", even though you are say sand-dweller, 70% of you might be something else. Intensity scoring meaning you give a score to a given response every time you here that answer. Some people can trace the lineage of their mother and know the Abtirsinyo of their mothers , waliga manad maqlin waan adeeraynahay waan abtiyasanahay. But its true Somalis , xooga waxay saraan abaha.

Qansax they have thick jareer hair most Xabashis and are short and the vast majority of the Xabashis are darker than Somalis and have flat faces. Maybe you have seen some from Gojam and Gonder Light Skin Amharas. But the vast majority looks like this big eyes not a big forehead like us This is how the typical habasha look short kinkey hair and brown to dark brown facial features aren't sharp either Look at the hair thats the typical Habasha loook Look at the flat faces and not sharp features nappy hair and they are short and they very dark 2

Amiir godane is threatening the English:D

Bring out the oil bring out the resources SL should pursue a Foreign policy that is more based on economic resourcefulness which will lead to great economic growth for Somaliland and the Somaliland people.

Somaliland: exploration in ‘Africa’s 55th state’ Hussein Abdi Dualeh, the new oil minister of Somaliland, estimates that reserves in the former British protectorate could be in the billions of barrels. Fatima Al Marzooqi / The National Until 2010, Hussein Abdi Dualeh worked as a simple project manager in Los Angeles overseeing the use of natural gas as fuel for cars. It was a natural progression given his downstream engineering experience and his career start in the UAE as a salesman out of high school, marketing lubricants for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Those days are past. On a trip back to Abu Dhabi this month, Mr Dualeh was feted at a table of honour, knee to knee with Mohammed Al Hamli, the UAE Minister of Energy, and Tony Hayward, the former BP chief executive, in the heart of the luxurious Yas Viceroy hotel. Later, after delivering one of the keynote speeches of the morning to executives from the world’s supermajors, he enjoyed a cruise around the island before retiring to his suite. Such is the life of the new oil minister of Somaliland. His rapid rise to power is a product of politics and the reemergence of companies questing for oil and gas in a place that has yet to secure its statehood. Like Greenland and Iraqi Kurdistan, where wildcatters are drilling deep for oil, Somaliland administers itself by and large on its own, yet has not been recognised as a country by the United Nations. Like them, it also hopes hydrocarbons can ease its path to statehood. “You know what really carries the day is not politics, it’s geology,” said Mr Dualeh. “If the geology is good, all bets are off.” Somaliland has ample history to overcome. In the late 1980s, Chevron was drilling and Conoco laying airstrips thanks to oil concessions granted by the central Somalian government, which included the former Italian colony that today is known as Somalia and, to the north, the former British protectorate that calls itself Somaliland. In 1991, militias overtook the capital of Mogadishu and deposed the government, sending Somalia into lawlessness and famine and leading foreign companies to declare force majeure. That year Somaliland declared independence. “We actually think of ourselves as the 55th state in Africa,” said Mr Dualeh, pointing out that companies operating there are publicly traded in London and enjoy ample legal counsel. “If you have a company that has a lot of interests in Somaliland, for the safety of their interests they would rather see a full state that they’re dealing with – so it will only hasten the day that we’re being recognised.” This time around, three independents have signed up to explore Somaliland, the best known of which is led by Mr Hayward – Genel Energy, the Turkish operator in Kurdistan. Genel is to start surveying next month and expects to drill its maiden well at the start of next year, part of a regional exploration programme that includes Morocco and the Ivory Coast. “The challenge is given the very high quality assets in Kurdistan, how do you replicate it as you go outside?” said Mr Hayward. “Really the only way to do that is through exploration, so what we were looking for is frontier exploration opportunities where we thought there was a possibility of finding large fields.” No one knows how much oil could be underground, in part because the exploration campaigns under the previous government were so brief. Mr Dualeh estimates that reserves could be in the billions of barrels, although he stops short of imagining a future with million-barrel-a-day output and ascendancy to Opec. Beyond exploration, he hopes to transform the port of Berbera – a three-berth harbour that today exports sheep and frankincense – into an international fuel shipping hub, taking advantage of its deepwater geology and proximity to the Asian maritime transit route. A road and railway are also planned between Somaliland and Ethiopia, with a pipeline for Ethiopian hydrocarbons under discussion. Hopes are high for international companies such as DP World that could invest millions of dollars to transform Berbera into a world-class commercial port. The drive to industrialise Somaliland came about three years ago with the arrival of a new president, who Mr Dualeh had served as US campaign manager. (A substantial diaspora in America furnishes votes and campaign funds.) The president then tapped him to lead the energy ministry, where he remains the only petroleum engineer. Mr Dualeh recalled working in the United States 20 years ago and, from afar, following Chevron and Conoco’s short-lived exploration campaign. “They were drilling and I would read this in the papers and say, ‘Oh God, I wish I could be a part of this operation,’” he said. “And guess what? I now have the whole thing in my hands.” The National

Britain warns of threat in Somaliland AAP January 28, 2013 1:45AM BRITAIN'S Foreign Office has urged its nationals to leave the self-declared nation of Somaliland, warning of a "specific" threat against Westerners in the northern Somali region. Britain had similarly warned of a "specific and imminent threat to Westerners" in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Thursday and urged its citizens to leave, swiftly followed by Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and France. The Foreign Office said it already advises against all travel to war-torn Somalia including Somaliland - a rare area of relative stability - but now urged any remaining citizens to pull out. "We are now aware of a specific threat to Westerners in Somaliland, and urge any British nationals who remain there against our advice to leave immediately," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday. "As our travel advice continues to make clear, kidnapping for financial or political gain, motivated by criminality or terrorism, remains a threat throughout Somalia." A Foreign Office spokesman declined to give an estimate of how many British citizens were currently in Somaliland. "There are quite a lot of people who have dual Somali and British nationality who travel back and forward to the area, as well as a number of NGOs operating in Somaliland," he told AFP. While anarchic southern Somalia has been riven by years of fighting between multiple militia forces, the former British protectorate of Somaliland has enjoyed relative peace. It won independence from Britain in 1960 but days later joined with Somalia. In 1991, after years of bitter war with the government in Mogadishu, it declared independence from the rest of the country.

Britons urged to leave Somaliland Continue reading the main story Britons urged to leave Benghazi All British nationals in Somaliland should leave immediately because of "a specific threat to Westerners", the UK Foreign Office has said. It was already advising against travel to Somalia, including Somaliland, and now says any Britons in Somaliland despite its advice should leave. It says kidnapping "motivated by criminality or terrorism" remains a threat throughout Somalia. Last week, a similar warning was issued for Britons to leave Libya's Benghazi. "We are now aware of a specific threat to Westerners in Somaliland and urge any British nationals who remain there against our advice to leave immediately," the Foreign Office (FCO) said in a statement. It said it would not comment on the nature of the threat. The FCO website warns that in the southern and central regions of Somalia "there is ongoing serious violence, dangerous levels of criminal activity and general internal insecurity". It says attacks "could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers". And it adds: "Following the death of Osama Bin Laden, terrorist groups operating in Somalia have made threats against Westerners and those working for Western organisations in Somalia, including Somaliland." The northern territory of Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991 and wants to remain separate from the rest of the country. But Mogadishu wants Somaliland to be part of a single Somali state. Somaliland unilaterally declared independence after the overthrow of Siad Barre - who led Somalia's last functioning national government.

The imam was classified as a Somali maybe not belonging to the Major Somali tribes thats why we cant identify his exact identity Fatuh al habasha mentioned the Imam , as Imam Ahmed ibrahim not attaching him to any Somali group. But the fact that he was born Zeila and his army consisted mostly of Somalis including the 2 important commands the Imam was leading were under 2 Somali Generals. But its a well known fact that Bati del Wambara the wife of the Imam was half Somali on her maternal side.

Or he could be the Ethnic Somalilander based in Mogadishu who joined the ranks of the USC few days before the fall of Gen siyad bare , walahi waxad mooda in dhoobadu meel laga wada qaaday

The legacy of Mujahid Ahmed ibrahim , wonderful

Sudaantu way ino yara eegyihin but they down have the famous hawk nose but i love their white clothing i am in love with their traditional white clothing. The habash i can tell from a miles away they have bug eyes always check the habash his eyes they are huge they have flat heads most of the time and nappy hair and they're short, these people look nothing like Somalis , Us Somalis are tall and have normal eyes the only thing we share with the habash is the hawk nose even though many habashis have flat noses. Ofcourse non horners can't tell the differences and they consider these folks from the same stock but horners can tell the difference.

The day the Somali people were liberated from 21 year dictatorship that destroyed many lives its one to remember indeed. Dictatorial regimes has ruined many places in Africa and the former Somali republic is not an exception.

if rayaale goes to Ethiopia and wants the Ethiopian citizenship he can get it he has his birth certificate, By the way the People of Somaliland rejected the constitution of the than Somali republic. They overwhelmingly voted no

Oodweyne the SL goverment hasn't made a decision whether to join that conference in London or not. But one thing the talks of Somaliland and Somalia still stand as they were to clarify their future relations and that the international community will stand firm to deliver the legal experts and lawyers between the 2 sides. You have to view the Somaliland and Somalia talks process as a separate process than the conference the Brits are organizing for Somalia in may. The talks with Somalia is just one way to achieve the larger objective oodweyne i don't see or understand why you're panicking we are not mingling in Somalia's affairs if we talk to them ofcourse on neutral ground. The Brits and the EU and the rest of the world were calling for SL and Somalia to talk i think the time has come. Somalia getting political legitimacy from uncle sam will not not change anything when SL is dealing with the koonfurians. It was expected for them to gain governmental recognition from Washington because their transitional period was ended successfully. You can't blame the Somaliland government for that or better say the Kulmiye clique as you put it Haatu i didnt do that i believe the vast majority of the azanians are peace loving folks who want to have a fair share in the goverment unlike their cousins in garowe

Taasna waa laga wada war hayaa, labaatan kun oo ciidan ah oo shisheeye ayaa ka dagaalama oo la dagaalama Shabaabka, gobalada in badan ayaa ay gacanta ku hayaan meelaha laga saarayna maamul looma samayn oo nidaamka loo samaynaayo wax heshiis lagaga yahay ma jirto, markaas waxay I xasuusinaysaa tani barigii aan aniguba TFG-da ku jiray ee aan ka noqonay halkan ( Kiiniya ) ayaa laysku qabtya laba wax, dhinac waxa uu yidhi dib u heshiisiintii waa la soo af-jaray oo waa ay dhamaatay, qolo aan anigu ku jiraana waxay tidhi waxba lama soo heshiin oo hadday curad tahaye dadka dib u heshiisiin haloo sameeyo, waxa maanta taas lamid ah dadkan ku hadaaqaya in waxii kala guurka ahaa soo af-jarmay, wax soo af-jarmay ma jirto, wax is badalayna ma jiro ee wax waliba waa sidiisii Somaliland meeshee diibay joogtaa, Puntland meesheedii ayay joogtaa oo gabalada dhaxe waa meeshoodii, markaas dadkan ku hadaaqay waxii kala guurka ahaa ayaa dhamaadeen waa filin iyo riwaayad iyo dad wax ma garato ah ama aan daacad waxba ka ahayn.

Carafaat ofcourse Xiinfaniin is worried Puntland was completely sidelined they have no more influence in Mogadishu. Even the Finance Minister is completely dominated by Hassan and his damjadiid. Hassan put a halt to the Kenya Proxy in Kismayo forged new relations with Nairobi. And now Raskambooni is working closely with the government of Somalia. A federal state will be established coordinated and facilitated by the goverment of Somalia particularly the interior ministry no autonomous state in Kismayo. Carafaat just read wardheernews.com anti hassan maxamuud articles every single day and it all comes from one corner of the Somali society its not a coincidence. The talks between Somaliland and Somalia, hassan representing Somalia and its people its government and Somaliland represented by Siilaanyo and his people and goverment. Wouldn't you be worried if you were xiin.

its not a lie he was the prime minister of the state of Somaliland on the eve of 1960 26 june whats there to lie about?. He was not a citizen of a country called Somalia, but that of the Somali republic for a short period of time.
