I know but that's politics , she than speaking as a politician and it can sometimes come over as very coarse. Not as Edna the woman that takes care of the sick in her hospital or the edna who opens clinics and betters the health situation of Somali Woman.

Dont follow that that's just political talks that's not what she is all about.

Why do you say that Oba.

By Joanne Butcher, BA Politics, University of Sheffield Born in Hargeisa in 1937, Edna Adan Ismail is one of Somaliland’s most prominent public figures. From 1954 to 1961, she studied in Britain – the first Somali woman to do so – to become a nurse and midwife. After working as a civil servant, she held the position of Minister for Family Welfare and Social Development and most notably held the title of Somaliland’s Foreign Minister from 2003 until 2006. Throughout the 1980s, she served as advisor to a range of councils at the World Health Organisation before retiring in 1997 when she dedicated her life to her most recent project: the Edna Adan University Hospital. Alas the gravity and magnitude of Ismail’s career is lost in simply detailing her achievements. It’s important to remember that Edna Adan, as a young girl growing up in Somaliland, was not expected to go to school or acquire any qualifications. “Britain used to select boys from secondary schools to study in England and in 1952 or 53. The very first school for girls was opened in Somaliland and I was a pupil-teacher at the time,” she remembers. It was a year of waiting before she and another girl were finally sent off to study nursing. “We were the only two [somali] girls in London at the time. It was very challenging; it was a great opportunity to study something that I certainly felt very passionate about. I loved learning, I loved studying and to be given this opportunity was a great gift, and I loved every minute of it.” However, on returning to her homeland, she found her dreams of making a Florence Nightingale debut were squashed by the newly independent Somaliland government. “I was the only woman, the only qualified female nurse running all the female section of the hospital,” she explains. “So that was challenging, and of course there were very few doctors and many of the emergencies and the medical care that was needed was beyond the training of a nurse. Very often I just had to substitute for what a doctor would have done, because there would be no doctors. So, very often you just had to do what you had to do.” It took the government nearly two years to finally concede defeat. “I refused to quit,” she declares. “I just worked for 22 months without a salary. I just stuck to my guns and eventually, they had to give in. I was appointed to the civil service. So, to me, that was a victory because that opened the door to women to be appointed to the senior civil service.” While working for both the World Health Organisation and the United Nations, Edna Adan had made several attempts to set up a hospital of her own. However, efforts were often thwarted by the political climate. The civil war with Somalia had left Somaliland completely ravaged. Medical professionals had either fled the country during the conflict or been killed by enemy forces. Hospitals had been destroyed in the fighting, leaving the country with one of the highest maternal and infancy mortality rates in the world. “I just recycled my whole life,” she explains. “I just turned everything I could dispose of into cold cash and started to build a hospital.” Edna Adan’s credentials as a nurse, a midwife and a health advisor, made her one of the most qualified people to set up a medical centre. But, according to Ismail herself, it was the memories of her father that truly stirred her to establish the Edna Adan University Hospital. “My father was someone who was known as the father of healthcare in Somaliland,” she recalls. “As a teenager I would be home for the holidays, from school in Djibouti, and I would be hanging around the hospital, giving him a hand. And I would often hear him complaining about a piece of equipment, and I just made a kind of mental, subconscious promise that one day I would build the kind of hospital my father would have liked to work in.” The Edna Adan University Hospital started life as a maternity hospital. After four years building on what used to be a garbage dump, the hospital was opened in 2002. For over a decade, the hospital has taken in literally thousands of patients and, to this day, continues to expand. Despite her position as both the founder and director of this monumental institution, Ismail remains humble about her contribution. “I’m doing less and less legwork,” she notes. But Ismail is kept busy by the cascade of political issues that still flood the hospital. Gender politics still lie at the heart of what she does in Somaliland. The hospital, along with educating women to become nurses and midwifes, is using its influence to try and stop female genital mutilation - a tradition still practised in parts of Somaliland. “The more we do, the more we see that more needs to be done,” she admits. “What we’ve done now is a drop in the ocean.” However it’s not just within the walls of the hospital that women are treated unequally. Ismail remains as passionate about gender equality as she was as a little girl. It’s important to note that when she was young, only boys were educated in Somaliland. “At that time, education was considered undesirable for a girl,” she explains. “Friends and relatives would come and say ‘God has given you one daughter and you are teaching her to read and write? What good will come of it? She will disgrace you!’ I grew up with that and I was always trying to prove to them that education was good.” When she sat in Cabinet in the new millennia, she was the only female minister around the table. Even now there are only two women elected to Parliament and just one female in the Senate. “This is what I’ve had to fight all my life and we continue to fight because it needs to be fought. Somebody’s got to speak for these voiceless women. Somebody’s got to stand their grounds. If I had that opportunity to do that then I must do it. It’s a responsibility that I must accept.” There’s no doubt that progress has been made. Once upon a time women were not even allowed to drive cars, and Ismail agrees that the changes that have occurred have made her optimistic about the future for women in Somaliland. “I would like the change to be bigger and I would like more women to keep that pressure going,” she says. “The world needs both men and women. Because it’s not a question of men or women, it’s a question of both men and women doing a job together to make the world a better place for humankind. That’s all.” Throughout her life, education has been at the core of everything she’s accomplished. Her thirst for learning has fuelled her career and now she intends to impart her wisdom onto others in hopes that they will continue her mission. “My real gift that I wish to leave for my people is the gift of knowledge; for them to love knowledge – to encourage them to seek more knowledge." As always Ismail practices what she preaches and has dedicated her later life to encouraging young women to join the profession. She notes that it is still hard to persuade Somali families to let their daughters study but over time Ismail has persuaded masses of girls to take the opportunity to become a nurse or midwife. “These are exciting years,” she exclaims. “I am proud that the first lady of Somaliland today was one of those young students, young women who we talked into taking up nursing in those days. There’s still a mountain ahead for Edna Adan Ismail, but she’s still enthused by the belief that people need change and its these young women who are able to deliver it them. “I want to be a role model, to show them that anyone can do it and so can you,” she explains. Her love for what she does and her ability to convey such a wealth of knowledge onto others is what has made Edna Adan such an influential and compelling teacher. “I feel blessed at 74 that I can still do that. An old woman following her lifelong passion. And loving every minute of it.”

It depends how these clan governments are about to be constructed on regional level whether the government in Mogadishu has a say in the regional federal structure of the state or the region it self must come forward and establish a state. We yet have to see how it goes, and if the federal constitution rejected by the people what do you mean mudug border will be secured mudug is still divided.

Somalia what if in 4 years time no states have been established than what and the situation in the middle regions is still the same Where u have ASWJ allied to the government and Oday Qeybdiid controlling half of Mudug. What is the government than suppose to do. Do you think its the task of the government to create federal states for the regions, or is it the task of the subclans all over the country?

Somalia , you are not seriously comparing Germany with Somalia , Germany is a country of 81 million people a country which had a German empire for centuries. By the way Germany was not dealing with subclanish rivalries and divisions their provincial federal states are based on normal regional constituencies. Their division was eastern Berlin was under the rule of communist Russia while the western Germany at that time was capitalist Germany. Somalia is dealing with other problems Somalia needs a strong decentralized state which delivers basic services to its people instead of being busy building more Qabil states. But we shall see how it goes in 4 years time if there is more progress in building another Qabil state in another part of Somalia time will tell so far after 21 years we have one federal state.

I don't think its about ICU threats or Alshabaab if these people really wanted to organize themselves as a federal state they would've came together and talked about it not talking about districts sh sharif named referring to the stuff you posted. But a huge conference of state building i yet have to see that Galmudug and Ximan iyo xeeb are clan cousins why did they choose to have two separate clan states instead of one.This is a question we should ask our selves. Now federalism is a good thing on paper if Somalis understood the concept of federalism if Hiiraan gets divided into two regions. Than other regions in Somalia want to divide their regions so that they can have their own sub clan state instead of a bigger clan state that is more inclusive do you see where its heading Somalia.

Somalia;874698 wrote: Xaaji why you keep saying that, the people of central regions are capable of forming a state, I think you are very insulting towards these good people, I am almost speechless! I am not insulting any one they are Somalis and good people in my book but i dont see it Somalia, federalism was introduced in 2004 and i never seen any one enthusiastic about forming blocks and states in those regions have you? Ximan iyo xeeb and galmudug are basically from the same sub clan yet they cant agree to form a state. Hiiraan its self was suggested by the hiiraan people to be divided into 2 regions i dont see where this is heading.

General Duke;874699 wrote: XX, the Juba communities as a whole have agreed to form a State that brings together Gedo, Lower & Middle Juba with Kismayu as the comercial capital and another City as the Political capital. The formula is simple that all the clans will settle their differences and create an all inclusive admin that will develop this very important regional State. You are just being hateful and want these communities to kill each other. They are all now together fighting Al Shabaab and many have learned from the failures of the past. Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabeele is a natural State dominated by the D&M sub clans and minority groups. This leaves South Mudug, Galgaduud, Hiiraan and Lowr Shabelle to form a State. Of course there needs to be talks but all states need to be self sufficient and sustainable. Than how come they have different stakeholders different political entities Jubaland and azania and different political leaders gandi vs ducaale raskambooni vs aswj we yet have to see how this unfolds when kismayo is captured we have to wait and see Duke ,Its to early for conclusions. The same with bay and bakool these communities have yet to come together and talk about a federal state i haven't seen them do that though have you?

The central regions consist of ASWJ galmudug and ximan iyo xeeb and Hiiraan i dont see them forming one state any time soon do you Duke? As for the Juba regions lets see who captures the city kismayo first the ASWJ and Ducaale supported by the Gedo clan or Kenya and the Azania troops supported also by Axmed Madoobe raskambooni militia. When there is a winner in the Juba regions we can talk about forming a state or not.

isbaaro business never gets old but that should not be a reason for the greatest Mayor of Mogadisho to be fired Tarzan is a man who loves Xamar i cant think of a better mayor.

Uztaad Somaliland independence is a whole different story these people would rather for the next 10 decades be unrecognized than be a federal state or be part of a unitary state. I cant link the two nor can i speak for them let siilanyo do that but i will give u my opinion on them for them its independence or guuldaro anything else is a loss ma kala jecla federal state iyo unitary state sidan filayo some will even pick a unitary state for instance. I will give you an example the unionist in the Somalia govt/parliament those who originally hail from Somaliland are all for a unitary state ina carab ciise prof samatar Buuba Dr Dheeg and also Kaluun and others.And others like Amir Godane and Ibrahim Aghani believe in an Islamic Empire of east Africa. By the way i am not looking this from a Somaliland perspective nor is carafaat i think but rather what is good for Somalia in the long term. i just cant think of such a country with such a small population having federal states based on Qabiil i don't think in the long-term it will materialize knowing the sub clanish politics of Somalia.

Kenya is about 43 Million people different tribes different religions and no federalism if they did it i dont know why Somalia cant.

Somalia;874638 wrote: Yeah man, they are forming Central State of Somalia, waa dad shaqeystey, Al-Shabaab is even preventing this, remember former interior minister had suicide attack against him while working on this issue, so maybe that is why they are a bit late. There were talks to divide hiiraan into two regions so that would mean that hiiraan could be its own federal state now we are still waiting for the parliament to approve these two new regions more regions in Somalia. What about bay and bakool i am not hearing anything about a federal state in those regions.

Somalia is just not a country for federalism how long was Galguduud and Hiiraan free from Shabaab have u ever heard them talking about forming one state:D

Actually Somalilandsun.

Somaliland and South Sudan – The Inseparable Friends Friends indeed are friends in need: this is famous proverb in many languages, which explains that the real friends are those share the pain at the hard times under similar circumstance. Somaliland and South Sudan had common history of liberation struggle in the heart of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia; Somaliland and South Sudan gained freedom after long armed struggle against most dangerous and inhuman dictators in the east Africa; Somali National Movement (SNM) and Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) liberated their countries from the dictators in Mogadishu (Siyad Barre 1969-1991) and Khartoum. Mogadishu and Khartoum regimes used all forms of prohibited weapon against civilians in Hargiesa and Juba including air bombardment, rape and mass killing of civilians, in addition to chemical weapon used in Hargeisa by Siyad Barre regime. The people of Somaliland and South Sudan had identical aim of living in peace and democracy, and they both achieved at high cost. The Barre regime killed more than 60,000 civilians in less than three months period, and Juba was facing similar situation where Khartoum military aircrafts bombed the main areas in South Sudan. In both countries, the freedom fighters created lasting peace and democracy as they are ready to catch up the economy developments in the region and to make up to the time they spend in liberation fighting. As friends and ex-freedom fighters, South Sudan President Mr. Salva Mayardit invited his counterpart Somaliland President Mr. Ahmed Siilaanyo to the first independence of free South Sudan. This was a historic moment and outcome of decades of freedom struggle. However, today Somaliland and South Sudan are on different diplomatic status because Somalia failed to understand what Sudan realized that public demand is always inevitable. The people of Somaliland voted with high majority for independence during 2001 Referendum under international election monitors. The government of South Sudan installed the flag of Somaliland along with other international flags at the freedom square in Juba. This underscored the deep-rooted relations between the two nations – Somaliland and South Sudan. Although, Somaliland is not recognized internationally, but still the government of Juba has taken a bold step to show the world that Somaliland deserves recognition and that freedom fighters are friends of all time – hard and good times. Somaliland inaugurated an office in Juba that serves its interest including resilient diplomatic relations, and the office created strong economic ties. Somaliland’s major private companies serve the people of South Sudan starting from freedom struggle until now, particularly in the money transfer and telecommunication. The companies used to transfer remittance from South Sudanese Diaspora to their families in back home. This was lifeline for the threatened citizens of South Sudan. President of Sudan Mr. Omar Al-Bashir realized that the independence of South Sudan is the only way to create stable and peaceful region, while, Somalia President Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud is hanging on the failed theory of uniting the Somali people in the horn of Africa. Such theory created significant instability in the region including full-scale war against Ethiopia in 1977 and diplomatic unrest against Kenya. Mr. Mohamoud, during his latest speech, ensured that unity of Somali people will remain on top of his priority. Today, as per the firsthand reports from Mogadishu stated, the government of President Mr. Mohamoud appointed Mr. Abdirahman Nur Dinari as a new ambassador to Juba. Mr. Dinari’s first assignment is to cut off the relation between Somaliland and South Sudan. This is unexpected move by the shaky government in Mogadishu, the new ambassador handed over an official letter dictating to South Sudan President Mr. Salva Mayardit Kiir to close Somaliland office and bring down Somaliland flag, along with his credential papers. This illustrates the naïve approach of the shaky government in Mogadishu, who failed to stabilize Mogadishu before talking about relations between Somaliland and South Sudan. Mr. Mohamoud failed to realize the both – Somaliland and South Sudan – formed democratic and functioning governments, and that his regime is seeking an international support (AMISOM) to defeat the Islamist. He failed to sort out the internal issues instead of interfering an external relations between two independent countries. This is violation to the “Somaliland-Somalia Talk” that started in London than Dubai. It will enlighten the enmity and lack of goodwill in Mogadishu towards Somaliland, and that Somalia is not willing to solve pending issues with Somaliland. This is disrupting and underestimates the efforts of the international community that brought Somaliland and Somalia on negotiation table for the first time, including Great Britain and Norway. The people of Somaliland will protect their hard-earned freedom and the nominated leaders in Mogadishu must realize and respect the public demand of Somaliland. Somaliland ensures good neighbor to all regional countries, but it is committed to protect its border based on Colonial Border, and according to African Union Declaration of 1964.

Wasiir Duur Oo Sheegay In Ictiraafka Somaliland Ku Jiro Wada-hadalada Somaliya “Waxaan leeyahay waynu dhaafnay maaweeladii ahayd ictiraafkii wuu dhawyahay oo daaqaduu saaran yahay iyo imika ayaan soo arkaydii” Hargeysa (Waaheen) – Wasiirka Wasaarada arimaha gudaha Somaliland Maxamed Nuur Carraale (Duur) ayaa si aan gabasho lahayn uga hadlay in Madax-banaani iyo aqoonsi caalami ah oo ay Somaliland hesho ay Somaliya ku xidhan yahay, isaga oo sheegay in shacabku u baahan yihiin inay gaadhaan himiladii ahayd in dalkoodu noqdo qaran Madax-banaan, waxaanu tilmaamay in mudadii Somaliland jirtay imika la gartay in halka qadiyadu ku xidhan tahay oo ah Somaliya.

Furthermore, many Al Shabaab fighters are indeed "our children", who have been conscripted as young as 12 years old. The Government should be focusing on getting this under control as well Its called double diplomacy satisfying his citizens the (Koonfurians) that he believes that the union should be restored and at the same talking about the history of Somaliland and showing good signals towards Somaliland that Somalia and Somaliland unity will never be forced by him. Excellent statement by a politician i would say. On his policy towards Alshabaab its smart to divide them into 3 categories the islamist foreigners they need to be fought and he is trying to rescue as much youth he can. And the 3rd are the islamists nationalist they need to be given a chance in the new Somalia like the xisbal Islaam and others.
