Khadra Gaydh: The first” Madam Mayor” in Somaliland Posted on 07/09/2011 Gabiley- Senior female workers are increasing at public offices both in central and local level since the onset of democracy and multiple parties in Somaliland. It was in December 2002 when two women councilors were elected at district councils of Gabilay and Berbara. Khadra Gaydh was one of these two ladies. Again, in late 2005, two other ladies were voted into the parliament, and one of them was nominated as a minister. Currently more than three women hold high positions in the Somaliland Government, including Ministers of Education, Family, and Labor & Social Affairs and the Vice Minister of Health. It was the first time however; a female opted for Mayor’s Office at a District Council when Khadra Gayd was selected to the Office of the Mayor at the Gabilay district. She is the seventh Mayor to take this office since the inauguration of democracy in the country and elections of local council were initiated. Mrs. Khadra is a competent, visionary and motivated Mayor. She has served as a Council member for four years and vice mayor for almost six years at the Gabilay District. During that period, she gained abundant experience in local government administration and provision of services. People in her district, mainly men, had mixed reactions when the news of her nomination as the Mayor was released; however, the interesting question is what inspired her to become a Mayor? In replying to this, she says “As a child, I loved being a social worker and had a dream to once in my life time to make difference to my community”. Despite the short period of time she has been in the office, Khadra has accomplished remarkable tasks to improve services delivery for the community. The following projects have already been realized under her leadership; among them some are at the finishing stage: Accomplishments Construction of a public garage of 17×37 meters Construction of two tarmac roads of 500 meters each are underway Construction of 2 km of tarmac road Construction of a district meeting hall of 5X12 meters Rehabilitation of 21 offices and fences of the local government. Similarly, the Mayor pronounced the projects in the plan for rest of this year: Fencing of all municipal compounds Construction of two rooms for police station at the Kalabayd check point 500 meters of tarmac road in Kalabaydh Town planning for Kalabaydh Clearance of roads in the Gabilay town. Obviously, being a Mayor is not an easy task. And to become one, it takes several stages of determined work and mind: one must join a political party, then become a Council member by gaining votes from the constituents and finally run for the Office of the Mayor. Above all, it is a challenging task for women to reach this level in a country and a continent where stigma and violence against women are high. We can only imagine how tough it was for Khadra to get above 21 male councillors and progress to the Office of the Mayor. The Mayor is the most senior post in a district and makes decisions which may have an impact to the lives of thousands of citizens. Therefore, one may simply foresee challenges and obstacles that lie ahead. Mrs. Khadra asserted that there were numerous challenges in her initial days at the Office of Mayor, but later the situation gradually changed as activities progressed. In general, public perception in Somaliland towards women reflects them as less capable, but the truth comes out when this is tested. Khadra’s successful attempts to become a Mayor is part of ending the long-standing negative cultural stereotype and pave the way for other ambitious women who intended to reach higher posts at the public, such as Governor. “Let’s dare to join political parties, and believe that women can make better services to their community” she said when asked what message to convey to her fellow ladies in Somaliland.

That's not true actually majority of the Garaad Clan Support the republic of Somaliland they have chosen Somaliland an independent republic over puntand a semi autonomous region with in Somalia whom they share a common clan lineage with.Ask your self why?

Xiinfanin is not pointing out the internal difficulties Farooles administration is facing,, faroole has not addressed the grievousness of the Local Raaraascaseyr Community he annihilated them by not sending even a single delegation for talks. His talks or reconciliation attempts with Atam to include Sheikh Maxammad atam in his cabinet also ended in Smoke maybe lack of diplomacy or perhaps he was just not willing to have peace with him. Faroole hasn't achieved anything incredible or worth mentioning, other than the so called Somalia tournament he should become a football tournament organizer.His way to combat piracy ended up in training his navy forces in landlocked Ethiopia in Melez zanaws Swimming pool. Last but not least his admin wanted to capture a single man in galkacyo and ended up shelling an entire neighborhood which resulted a death toll over 30, that was unnecessary .Another problem is most Clans are still armed to the teeth in the semi autonomous region of Puntland this,will cause many problems it will undermine the central authority. Now there is just peace between the various clans in the region and understanding but the situation is fragile no one knows when it can explode.

They made clear that they do not support the semi autonomous region of puntland nor do they support the Somaliland republic or the ssc rebels or any other faction they said the whole purpose of the meeting is just to give the garaad clan a chance to come together and discuss their future.

The Zack the Khaatumo conference is being Facilitated by a group of diaspora members free of ssc xaglatoosiye and Ali sabaray or the so called Khusuusi they held talks with ali sabaray some where in tukaraq. They met some of the Clan chiefs they went to Buhoodle widhwidh etc The conference is all about to bring the garaad clan into a unity or political understanding. They are not allied to ssc or NSUM or any other group or faction.

Yeah that was the professors opinion its not final yet and holding the conference in awrboogays is not final either so , but we shall wait for the Committee how they decide inshallah.

Carafaat i think Khaatumo shir will bring the garaad clan closer to each-other and there will be some sort of political understanding there. I agree with professor Cali khalif galaydh and the Khaatumo conference should be held in Laascanood,

Justice shall prevail indeed

Ngonge awoow you are comparing Tufaax with Liin. How can you compare Somaliland with European countries or North American countries, so what if there are other Somali refugees in the west America it's self is the land of the Immigrants no one can claim America except the red Indians . Wasn't Kenya complaining about Somali refugees in Kenya and even when Somalia was hit by drought and mass famine broke out there , Didn't the Kenyan authorities say somalis must leave our Country.

The AMISOM, Sharif's government or the Clan Militia: Who is in Charge in Mogadishu? the death of a Malaysian cameraman who was shot dead when African Union peacekeepers allegedly fired on his convoy Noramfaizul Mohd Nor was traveling with a convoy of humanitarian workers when a contingent of Ugandan-nationals with AMISOM opened fire, killing Nor and wounding another journalist in Mogadishu. and the fighting between government forces and clan militia in government controlled Dharkinley district have raises some serious questions as to the effectiveness of the government and AMISOM peacekeeping force in Somalia whom both are in charge few years in the war-torn country. The deployment of AU troops with a UN Security Council mandate raised hopes that the 20 years of war was coming to a term. It was reasonable to expect that Head OF AMISOM troops, The President Shikh Sharif would ensure that by now peace was reigning throughout the city. Somalis also hoped that AMISOM troops, who should have learned some good lessons in Uganda military trainings, would come to Mogadishu with a mandate not to shoot Civilians and to never allow any solder to take advantage of civilians. Unfortunately, it seems like déjà-vu. If the safe-haven of Mogadishu is calm and runs smoothly, Clan Militia and warring factions still control much of Bula Huubeey, Dharkinley and Wadjir of Mogadishu. If fighting between Shabab and Government forces has stopped, life has not changed in the city. According to the news report coming from Mogadishu says "The TFG forces were clearing out security checkpoints in the area, when the government forces clashed with soldiers loyal to the Wadajir district commissioner. The endeavor of removing checkpoints was to improve security but was hindered by clan militia loyal to Ahmed Da'i, district commissioner of Wadajir and his deputy. The city is slowly but surely sliding back into this dangerous era where every clan has a check point and becomes comfortable with a false sense of peace and security. Clan militia are still carrying their guns while their bosses are collecting UNDP monthly Allowances . The country is back to where it stood in the 1990s, with uncertain outcome. The fighting against Shabab remnants was scheduled weeks ago is yet to get underway. There seems to be no concrete plan. The Mogadishu security and stabilization process is at a standstill. AMISOM troops have been in and around Hilawaay district for weeks, but rebels are still holding their guns in that district. Accusations of corruption, ineffectiveness and cronyism are piling up, justified or not. Slowly but surely, a case is being made against Mogadishu Mayor Mr., Tarsan just as in the 1990s when warring factions manipulated the peace process, dismissed transitional leaders and prolonged their control on several cities. The intervention of the AU had given hope that the African body would not fall for the same gimmicks that derailed the peace process under the command of AMISOM. However, it seems that Somalia is again headed on the same path of uncertainty, with a leader or Mayor with no real powers, Militia, and factions controlling everything and a peacekeeping force on a standby. Sooner or later, there is bound to be a clash of some sort. The clan militia would have their way. The fact that after the clash in Wadjir district, AMIOSM troops sat by and allowed Clan militia to fight in heavily populated south Mogadishu. The clan militias reached the conclusion that they could do anything and this is how, with green light from Mogadishu Mayor and AMISOM present, they launched their attack on government forces and nobody concerned them. AMISOM, and government officials missed a chance to set an example in Wadajir to capture and arrest the district commissioner and militia leaders. Mogadishu is again the only safe haven in the country and shouldn't be spoiled. This is Somalia's best chance to peace and that AMISOM must play its role and start enforcing peace. The clan militias have to submit to disarmament. And it is time that government cleans up the remnants of Alshabab and gets out of Mogadishu and let Somalia in the interior know there is a government. If the AU troops are shooting the Humanitarian workers and journalist in Mogadishu, they have no reason being there. And if the government cannot guarantee the safety of international aid workers and journalist in "their" areas, they have no business being in government and getting international ai

Professor cali khalif galaydh suggest that the Khatuumo Conference part II should be held in Laascanood so that the entire Community can take part of it and the different communities since it's the largest city in the sool region.

Siilaanyo, you and ME are natives of SL but surely a state must judge its citizens in accordance to what they give back and not only according to belonging. I fully accept that Jb is a better citizen than I am (or, probably, you). He is there, earning his wage and spending his money in the country itself. You and I go on holiday. Likewise, the Oromo that cleans my aunties toilets contributes to the country much more than you, I or little AW do. Ninyaho inaad SL taagerto waan ogaa lakin argtida yar kugo maan ogeen. Fix up, saaxib. I am not a refugee i went to search for a better live in the west for me my descendants way before the War started and i am a naturalized citizen i give back to this Country i live in i pay tax i do not beg nor do i live on welfare. You're whole point is they live there and we don't these oromos make our streets unsafe the money they beg goes straight back to Ethiopia they hardly spend money in Somaliland so their money or hard worked money will nor circulate in the country or should i say the money they begged they don't use the public transport the rather walk. whats the point of keeping these species , atleast the koonfurians they rent our houses they spend their money in the country they pay tax and some of them even invest in the country.

Not only will they get the chance to clear up illegal immigrants (not refugees) they will also get the chance to finally put together some sort of strategy on how to monitor visas, provide better border controls etc (I’m assuming this is the main reason otherwise it would be pointless) which in turns provides better security. No one said those being kicked out cannot come back with the right paperwork. This is not about rich and poor or who is and isn’t a citizen. It’s about having the right documents. Isn’t what you would want? Also, this decision will stop much of the ‘tahriib’ traffic through SL to Bosasso (and all the criminal off shoots that come with it). I won’t get into the strain on resources (water, fuel) and the health issues. Get with the programme warya. Well said this should have been done long time ago but thank god we Have Kulmiye and President Siilaanyo
