I was reading about the university of Amoud in Borama Awdal. And I came a cross its website which happens to have no Somaliland mentioned in it. I was windering dosent this institute belong to Somaliland ? Anyhow here is the URL of the website http://home.earthlink.net/~amoud/ .............................................................................. Introduction Praise be to Allah who began his revelation to the Prophet (Phut) with these words: Proclaim, in the name of the Lord and Cherished, who created man out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood. Proclaim! and thy Lord is the Most Beautiful, He who taught (the use of) the pen, taught man that which he knew not. And grace and peace be upon the Prophet who urged the spreading of knowledge and who said "Knowledge not put to good use is like a treasure of which nothing is spent" (paraphrased). The educational policy of Somalia defines higher education as being the stage of academic specialization in all fields and at all levels. It is that stage of education that encourages and promotes the abilities of the talented so that they are well prepared to satisfy the various needs of our society, both at present and in the future, and so enable it to keep pace with its ongoing fruitful development aimed at achieving the noble goals of the nation. In accordance with this policy, the national should always give a high priority to the expansion of higher education. Hence the intention of establishing this university which is the first of its kind in post-civil-war in Somalia is necessary to bring higher education close to Awdal community. On behalf of those interested in pursuing university education in Awdal Region, we present this university catalogue which is designed to cover in detail the whole university activities. We hope that such a guide book would be very beneficial to those who are interested the foundation of this Institution. May Allah bless our youth and help them promote the well-being of their religion and their country. The Amoud University is established as a result of the need to train enough professionals to meet the growing needs of the Somali people for educators and other professional fields. It is the first higher education of its kind in post-civil war in Somalia. It is therefore, committed to train all Somalis, with necessary qualifications. It is the firm belief of the founders of this institutions of higher education, that despite current crisis in our country, education and the future of coming generation must not be neglected. For this, the training of professionals is the first step to revitalise the educational system of the country. It must be emphasised that this university would be free from politics and segmentations. This would contravene the founding principles of this institution. If any thing, the university may encourage healthy national objectives. The medium of instruction of the university would be English language and it will offer B.A. & B.Sc.degree at the completion of required courses. Location of the university would be Ex-Amoud Secondary School in Borama, Awdal, Somalia.

C/Laahi Yuusuf Oo Mar Kale Nayroobi Guul Kula Laabtay - Thursday, July 31, 2003 at 00:30 Garoowe, (Yamayska) Madaxweeynaha DGPL Md. Cabdullahi Y Axmed ayaa muddo gaaban gudaheed markii labaad isaga oo macnawiyaadkiisu aad u sareeyaan ku noqday madasha shirka nabadeeynta Soomaaliyeed ee Mbagatti maalintii Talaadada, kadib markii uu si guul iyo is-afgarad ah ku soo dhameeyay khilaafkii dastuuriga ahaa ee toddobaadkii la soo dhaafay hareeyay DGPL. Fiidnimadii Isniinta ayaa la soo afjaray khilaafkii dastuuriiga ahaa ee soo kala dhex galay Madaxda sare ee DGPL, gaar ahaanna madaxweeynaha iyo ku-xigeenkiisa. Shir ay ka soo qayb galeen labadaas masuul, isimo, goleyaasha dawladda Puntland iyo dadwayne kale ayaa looga dhawaaqay arintaas. Wararka Kale Yamayska Riix Halkan Shirkan oo lagu qabtay xarunta Madaxtooyada ee Garoowe, waxaa qaban qaabadiisa gacan wayn ka geeystay koox haween reer Puntland ah oo is-biirsaday kuwaasoo labada mas’uul culays ku saaray inay xalliyaan khilaafkooda. Khilaafka masuuliyiinta ugu saraysa Puntland oo ka dhashay isku baddalkii Madaxwayne ku-xigeenku ku sameeyey wasiiro ka tirsan dawladda oo markaas kadib madaxwaynuhu ka hor yimid, ayaa lagu dhameeyey in wasiirka maaliyaddu uu sii ahaado Cabdiraxmaan Faroole, wasiirka caafimaadkuna Siciid Cadduur. Madaxwayne ku-xigeenka ayaa sidoo kale ka laabtay go’aan uu horay u gaaray oo ahaa inuusan kusime-madaxwayne sii ahaan doonin maaddaama aan la tix–galin go’aankii uu ku gaaray in uu isku baddalo mas’uuliyiintii wasaaradaha maaliyadda iyo caafimaadka. Inkasta oo uu Madaxwayne ku-xigeenka Puntland Maxamed Cabdi Xaashi ku qancay in uu dib uga noqdo go’aannadiisii isku baddalka wasiirada iyo kii ka tanaasulka xilka ku-simaha madaxweeynaha ayaa haddana waxaa xusid mudan in Maxamed Cabdi Xaashi si wayn ugu adkeeystay in ay lama huraan tahay in la xaqiijiyona ay waajib tahay kala dambeynta iyo ku dhaqanka dastuurka iyo sidoo kale in wax laga qabto dhaqaalaha Puntland oo uu sheegay inuu burbursan yahay, arintaas oo laysla qaatay si waynna loo soo dhaweeyay maamul ahaan iyo shicib ahaanba. Go’aanada Isniintii daaha laga qaaday ayaa u muuqday kuwo ay labada masuul horay bannaanka ugu soo dhameysteen, waxaana madaxwayne ku-xigeenka halkaas ku gacan qaaday wasiirka maaliyadda Cabdiraxmaan Faroole oo la rumeysan yahay in khilaafka kala dhexeeyey madaxwayne ku-xigeenku uu sal u yahay ismaan-dhaafka oo dhan. Sidoo kale, Madaxweyne ku-xigeenka ayaa markaas kadib isna wuxuu gacan qaaday Madaxweynaha DGPL Md. Cabdullaahi Yuusuf. Tallaabo kale oo la rumaysan yahay in ay daba socoto dareenka Md. Xashi ee ku wajahan ahamiyadda ay leedahay in la ilaaliyo kala danbeeynta iyo ilaalinta dastuurka ayaa Md. Cabdullaahi Yusuf waxa uu Garoowe ka soo saaray war-murtiyeed uu si weeyn ugu xusay isla arintii uu madaxweeyne ku-xigeenku ka hadlay. Qoraalkaas oo uu madaxweeynuhu ku taabtay meelo badan ayaa arimihii uu ka hadlay waxaa ka mid ahaa: In laraaco lana fuliyo nidamka iyo kala danbaynta dhamaan shuruucda Dawlad-gobooleedka Puntland oo sida uu sheegay lama huraan u aha jiritaan Puntland. In la sugo lana adkeeyo amniga guud ee deeganka Dawlad-gobooleedka Puntland In la habeeyo lana xasiliyo dhaqalaha Puntland si loo helo horukac dhaqale. Madaxwaynaha Puntland ayaa qoraalkiisu culayka saaray in dowladnimada dalku ku xiran tahay kala danbaynta iyo kala amar qaadashada madaxda kala duwan ee dowlada, iyo in la ilaaliyo sharciga dowlad goboleedka Puntland. Tallaabada lagu dhameeyay khilaafka madaxda dawladda ayaa si wayn looga soo dhaweeyay degaanada PL, inkasta oo ay dad badani qabeen in is-mmaandhaafkaasu ahaa wax aan sidaa u sii buurnayn. Dhanka kale, habayaraatee, ma ayan jirin wax uu khilaafkaasi u geeystay hab-sami u socodka maamulka iyo agaasinka hawl-maalmeedka dawladda, iyada oo ay dad badani qabaan in wax walba oo u dhexeeya madaxda iyo shacabka reer PL si fudud loo dhamayn karo mar haddii ay arintu ka madaxbannaan tahaya gacan saddexaad. Waa markii labaad ee uu Md. Cabdullaahi Yuusuf oo ka mida musharixiinta ugu cad-cad ee madaxtinimada Soomaaliya ku noqdo gogosha nabadeeynta, iyada oo muddo laga joogo wax laba biloood ka yar madaxweeynuhu halkaa ku noqday kadib markii isaga iyo Jen. Cadde Muuse soo af-jareen khilaafkii ugu xumaa ee abid soo mara dadka reer Puntland, kadib markii ay Boosaaso ku soo saxiixeen heshiis lagu soo af-jaray collaaddii haraysay degallada PL sannadkii 2002-da. Guulahaas siyaasadeed ee uu sida is-dabaa jooga ah u soo xaqiijiyay mudane Cabdullaahi Yusuf Axmed ayaa sida dad badani qabaan waxa ay sii xoojinayaan dadaalka uu ugu jiro hanashada hogaanka sare ee Soomaaliya, taasoo uu ummadda Soomaaliyeed u muujiyay in uu yahay shakhsi ficil u baddali kara waxa uu afka ka sheego ama uu aaminsanyahay.

Ilaalinta kuraasta ay ku fadhiyaan; ilaalintani waxay kaliftay in xubnaha goleyaashu la coloobaan qofkasta oo ay u dareemaan inuu khatar ku yahay kuraastooda, uma kala aabo yeelaan siyaasiyiin, jaaliyadaha dibadaha ee fasaxa ku yimaada, odayaal iyo waxgarad kale. waxay kaloo xoogga saareen in aanay dhicin in la dhameeyo tabashooo ayinka beesha oo haddii la xalilo oo lays afgarto ay dhici karto in lagu bedelo xubno kale oo beeshu soo xulatay si daana ku waayaan kuraasta ay ku fadhiyaan, fulinta Arrimahan waxay u garabsadaan saaxiibo ay yeesheen intay goleyaasha ku jireen, aflagaado iyo xirfado kale. ITS THE FAULT OF THOSE GREEDY MP's 2. Qorshe dhaqaale oo saddex biloodle ah: saddexdii biloodkiiba marbay qalqaashadaan in la siiyo dhaqaale si ay uga soo hawlgalaan degaamadii, markay degaamada tagaan waxba uma sheegaan kamana qabtaan bulshaddii iyo degaankii ay u soocdeen nin waliba ehelkii buu u tagaa qofkii wax weydiiyana waxay ku jawaabaan ma idinkaa na doortay markay soo noqdaan warbixin ma keenaan, ma sheegaan dhibaatooo ayinka iyo tabashooo ayinka beesha si wax looga qabto ee haddana waxay qorsheeyaan habkii ay sadddex_biloodka soo soocda dhaqaale ku heli lahaayeen dhawr maalmoodna degaamada ugu soo madax qarsan lahaayeen. Habkan waxa laga gacansanayey sannado badan wuxuuu keenay in dadku Somaliland aragti khaldan ka qaato, degaamada kalena waxay u fahmaan in dhaqaalihii dalka Sool, loo raro waase hanti si qaldan u baxday.. THOSE EVIL DOERS STEAL THE MONEY OF THE NGO's, 3. Qaadasho Qandaraasyada Mashaariicda: Waxay sharciyeysteen in mashaariicda horumarineed iyo samafaleed ee degaamada laga fulinayo iyagu qandaraastaan ama ay ku qortaan dad qoo ayskooda ah (family), oo NGO loo sameeyey, Talaabadani waxay sababtay inay burburaan NGO-yadii iyo Shirkadihii hore u dhisnaa markay waayeen tartan xalaala oo ururka lagu qiimaynayo shaqo wanaaggiisa iyo aaminimadiisa arintiina isu bedeshay garab, ficilkani waxa dadku u arkayaa cadaalad darro iyo in loo isticmaalayo oo lagu waxyeelaynayo Somaliland midhaheeduna waa sii fogeyn degaamadii ay sheeganayeen inay wakiil ka yihiin. LETS PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE REAL EVIL DOERS FROM SOOL... Qaybe iyo Kursigiisa oo kaalintoodii ka baaqsadey: A WEAK MAN WHO HAS NO INFLUANCE, HOW DID A MAN OF SUCH CALIBER GET TO THIS POSITION? Axmed Maxamed Aadan Qaybe (WHO)?(Guddoomiyaha Golaha Wakiilada) oo ku fadhiya kursiga ugu sareeya beesha Sool, ay oo waajib ku ahayd inuu isku xilqaamo xal u helida, xidhiidhinta, kalsooni abuurida iyo soo dhowaynta oo kaalintiisii gabay, markii booskan la xulanayey waxay ahayd in la tixgeliyo kalsoonida iyo taageerada uu qofku ka haysto beeshiisa iyo taariikh nololeedkiisii hore iyo sida bulshada Somaliland oo dhami ugu qanacsantahay iyo faaiidada uu u leeyahay Siyaasada dibada, midna lama tixgelin, THE POWER OF ABDULLAHI YUSUF CAN KEEP YOU IN YOUR JOB WOW, 1. Taageero kama haysto, xidhiidhna lama laha Beeshiisa, eeg sida aanu dan uga gelin wixii dhibaato dhexdooda ka dhacay, wax ka soo qabad daayoo, wuxuuu isticmaala kelmado uu ugu sii harag tuurayo sida haddii layla hadlo waxan aadayaa Ina adeerkay Cabdillaahi Yuusuf taas oo macnaheedu yahay Somaliland waa laynagu qabyaaladaynayaa ee ilma adeeradeen Harti yaan laga iman. THIS MAN HAS A HISTORY, HE USED TO WORK FOR DICTATOR SIYAD BARRE, DAMN THIS IS SO WRONG, IRONIC LOL 2. Faa’iido siyaasad dibadeed ma leh maadaama uu u shaqayn jiray Kacaankii keligiitaliska ahaa oo noocooda adduunka oo dhan laga necbaa saraakiishii ka tirsanaydna siyaasiyiin looma tixgeliyo ee waxa loo yaqaan dad xun oo u dhigma Naasigii Jarmalka. LETS HEAP IT ON A BIT MORE ON THIS MAN 3. Wuxuuu Somaliland ka caydhiyaa qofkii ( wasiirada ama saraakiisha sar sare ) uu u arko inuu wax ka qabanayo Degaamada beeshiisa isagoo caadaystay inuu ku hanjabo inuu iska tegayo ( iscasilayo ) taas oo ah xadgudub weyn oo lagu sameynayo muwaadin waajibkiisii gudanaya iyo curyaamin waxqabadka Sool, iyo horumarka dalka. ON CONCLUSION WE THINK Somaliland waa mid Ilaa Lowyacado iyo Yoocada waa in dadku gartaan dhabta maaha kala tegis ama kala go’is suaashu waa maxaa khaldan? Yaase ka masuul ah? Sidee wax looga qabanayaa haddii xubnihii goleyaasha ee beeshu dabada jiidayaan oo dadkii sii eryayaan? Xal mala helayaa haddii Madaxweynuhu markay arrintu soo dhawaatoba qasayo?

Madaxweynihii kooxdii Carta oo shirkii Somalida isaga baxay Nayrobi [MOL] 30 July 2003- Madaxweynihii kooxda Carta Cabdqaasim Salad Xasan ayaa maanta isaga baxay shirkii nabadeynta Somalida isla markaana isla maantaba ka dhoofay magaalada Nayrobi isagoo u sii jeeda magaalada Muqdishu. Cabdiqasim oo lagu soo doortay shirkii aan loo dhamayn ee ka dhacay Tuulada Carta ee dalka Jabuuti muddo 3 sanno ka hor ah ayaa habba yaraatee ku guulaysan inuu wax maamul ah ka hirgaliyo magaalada Muqdishu oo u ahayd xurun muddadii uu sheeganayay Madaxweynenimada. Cabdiqasim ayaa sheegay sababta uu shirka uga baxay inay tahay iyadoo aan Somaliland laga soo qeyb galin shirka sidii uu marar badan codsaday, waxuu intaas ku daray in Dawlada Itoobiya doonayso inay Somaliya kala qaybiso oo ay doonayso in Somaliland dawlad ahaan loo aqoonsado. Somaliland ayaa horey u diiday inay ka soo qayb gasho shirka ayna sheegeen inay wada haddal galayaan kaliya markii Dawlad loo dhan yahay laga sameeyo koonfurta Somaliya. Waxaa wali shirka jooga Xasan Abshir oo ah ra'iisal Wasaarihii Kooxda Carta iyo gudoomiyihii Baarlamaanka Cabdalla Deeroow oo Kooxda Carta bilowgii shirka uga wakiil ahaa inay uga qaybgalaan. Cabdiqasim ayaa sheegay inuu masuuliyiintaas uu kala noqday xilkii uu u soo wakiishay aysana magaciisa hadda waxii ka dambeeya matalin. dhinaca Ra'iisal wasaare Xasan abshir iyo gudoomiyaha Baarlamaanka ayaa iyaguna ku adkaysanaya in sharci ahaan sida uu qorayo axdi qarameedkii ay Carta ku soo samaysteen ay iyagu dawlada uga masuul yihiin wada haddal kasta oo ay la galayaan kooxaha siyaasada ay isaga soo horjeedaan. arintaan ayaana ka dhigtay kooxda Carta inay imminka u kala qeybsameen laba kooxood oo iska soo horjeeda oo koox walba sheeganayso inay iyagu matalaan kooxda Carta. Wali wax wara kama soo bixin Dawladaha safka hore ee IGAD oo iyagu ka dambeeyay abaabulka shirkaan oo hadda socday in ka badan 9 billood. waxaa jira qodob kooxaha sayaasadu ku heshiiyeen oo dhigayay in waxii ka dambeeyay heshiiskii bishaan 5-teedi la gaaray caddii shirka ka hortimaada loo aqoonsan doono dagaal ooge lagana codsaday in qaramada midoobay ay wax ka qabtaan.

Nin Yaaban, Calm dow with your rhetoric bro, why should you be advocating banning guraad? I think you need to chill a little bro

Who's In Charge? A Tiny, Unelected Group, Backed by Powerful Unrepresentative Interests By EDWARD SAID The Bush administration's relentless unilateral march towards war is profoundly disturbing for many reasons, but so far as American citizens are concerned the whole grotesque show is a tremendous failure in democracy. An immensely wealthy and powerful republic has been hijacked by a small cabal of individuals, all of them unelected and therefore unresponsive to public pressure, and simply turned on its head. It is no exaggeration to say that this war is the most unpopular in modern history. Before the war has begun there have been more people protesting it in this country alone than was the case at the height of the anti- Vietnam war demonstrations during the 60s and 70s. Note also that those rallies took place after the war had been going on for several years: this one has yet to begin, even though a large number of overtly aggressive and belligerent steps have already been taken by the US and its loyal puppy, the UK government of the increasingly ridiculous Tony Blair. I have been criticised recently for my anti-war position by illiterates who claim that what I say is an implied defence of Saddam Hussein and his appalling regime. To my Kuwaiti critics, do I need to remind them that I publicly opposed Ba'athi Iraq during the only visit I made to Kuwait in 1985, when in an open conversation with the then Minister of Education Hassan Al-Ibrahim I accused him and his regime of aiding and abetting Arab fascism in their financial support of Saddam Hussein? I was told then that Kuwait was proud to have committed billions of dollars to Saddam's war against "the Persians", as they were then contemptuously called, and that it was a more important struggle than someone like me could comprehend. I remember clearly warning those Kuwaiti acolytes of Saddam Hussein about him and his ill will against Kuwait, but to no avail. I have been a public opponent of the Iraqi regime since it came to power in the 70s: I never visited the place, never was fooled by its claims to secularism and modernisation (even when many of my contemporaries either worked for or celebrated Iraq as the main gun in the Arab arsenal against Zionism, a ****** idea, I thought), never concealed my contempt for its methods of rule and fascist behaviour. And now when I speak my mind about the ridiculous posturing of certain members of the Iraqi opposition as hapless strutting tools of US imperialism, I am told that I know nothing about life without democracy (about which more later), and am therefore unable to appreciate their nobility of soul. Little notice is taken of the fact that barely a week after extolling President Bush's commitment to democracy Professor Makiya is now denouncing the US and its plans for a post-Saddam military-Ba'athi government in Iraq. When individuals get in the habit of switching the gods whom they worship politically there's no end to the number of changes they make before they finally come to rest in utter disgrace and well deserved oblivion. But to return to the US and its current actions. In all my encounters and travels I have yet to meet a person who is for the war. Even worse, most Americans now feel that this mobilisation has already gone too far to stop, and that we are on the verge of a disaster for the country. Consider first of all that the Democratic Party, with few exceptions, has simply gone over to the president's side in a gutless display of false patriotism. Wherever you look in the Congress there are the tell-tale signs either of the Zionist lobby, the right-wing Christians, or the military-industrial complex, three inordinately influential minority groups who share hostility to the Arab world, unbridled support for extremist Zionism, and an insensate conviction that they are on the side of the angels. Every one of the 500 congressional districts in this country has a defence industry in it, so that war has been turned into a matter of jobs, not of security. But, one might well ask, how does running an unbelievably expensive war remedy, for instance, economic recession, the almost certain bankruptcy of the social security system, a mounting national debt, and a massive failure in public education? Demonstrations are looked at simply as a kind of degraded mob action, while the most hypocritical lies pass for absolute truth, without criticism and without objection. The media has simply become a branch of the war effort. What has entirely disappeared from television is anything remotely resembling a consistently dissenting voice. Every major channel now employs retired generals, former CIA agents, terrorism experts and known neoconservatives as "consultants" who speak a revolting jargon designed to sound authoritative but in effect supporting everything done by the US, from the UN to the sands of Arabia. Only one major daily newspaper (in Baltimore) has published anything about US eavesdropping, telephone tapping and message interception of the six small countries that are members of the Security Council and whose votes are undecided. There are no antiwar voices to read or hear in any of the major medias of this country, no Arabs or Muslims (who have been consigned en masse to the ranks of the fanatics and terrorists of this world), no critics of Israel, not on Public Broadcasting, not in The New York Times, the New Yorker, US News and World Report, CNN and the rest. When these organisations mention Iraq's flouting of 17 UN resolutions as a pretext for war, the 64 resolutions flouted by Israel (with US support) are never mentioned. Nor is the enormous human suffering of the Iraqi people during the past 12 years mentioned. Whatever the dreaded Saddam has done Israel and Sharon have also done with American support, yet no one says anything about the latter while fulminating about the former. This makes a total mockery of taunts by Bush and others that the UN should abide by its own resolutions. The American people have thus been deliberately lied to, their interests cynically misrepresented and misreported, the real aims and intentions of this private war of Bush the son and his junta concealed with complete arrogance. Never mind that Wolfowitz, Feith, and Perle, all of them unelected officials who work for unelected Donald Rumsfeld at the Pentagon, have for some time openly advocated Israeli annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and the cessation of the Oslo process, have called for war against Iraq (and later Iran), and the building of more illegal Israeli settlements in their capacity (during Netanyahu's successful campaign for prime minister in 1996) as private consultants to him, and that that has become US policy now. Never mind that Israel's iniquitous policies against Palestinians, which are reported only at the ends of articles (when they are reported at all) as so many miscellaneous civilian deaths, are never compared with Saddam's crimes, which they match or in some cases exceed, all of them, in the final analysis, paid for by the US taxpayer without consultation or approval. Over 40,000 Palestinians have been wounded seriously in the last two years, and about 2,500 killed wantonly by Israeli soldiers who are instructed to humiliate and punish an entire people during what has become the longest military occupation in modern history. Never mind that not a single critical Arab or Muslim voice has been seen or heard on the major American media, liberal, moderate, or reactionary, with any regularity at all since the preparations for war have gone into their final phase. Consider also that none of the major planners of this war, certainly not the so-called experts like Bernard Lewis and Fouad Ajami, neither of whom has so much as lived in or come near the Arab world in decades, nor the military and political people like Powell, Rice, Cheney, or the great god Bush himself, know anything about the Muslim or Arab worlds beyond what they see through Israeli or oil company or military lenses, and therefore have no idea what a war of this magnitude against Iraq will produce for the people actually living there. And consider too the sheer, unadorned hubris of men like Wolfowitz and his assistants. Asked to testify to a largely somnolent Congress about the war's consequences and costs they are allowed to escape without giving any concrete answers, which effectively dismisses the evidence of the army chief of staff who has spoken of a military occupation force of 400,000 troops for 10 years at a cost of almost a trillion dollars. Democracy traduced and betrayed, democracy celebrated but in fact humiliated and trampled on by a tiny group of men who have simply taken charge of this republic as if it were nothing more than, what, an Arab country? It is right to ask who is in charge since clearly the people of the United States are not properly represented by the war this administration is about to loose on a world already beleaguered by too much misery and poverty to endure more. And Americans have been badly served by a media controlled essentially by a tiny group of men who edit out anything that might cause the government the slightest concern or worry. As for the demagogues and servile intellectuals who talk about war from the privacy of their fantasy worlds, who gave them the right to connive in the immiseration of millions of people whose major crime seems to be that they are Muslims and Arabs? What American, except for this small unrepresentative group, is seriously interested in increasing the world's already ample stores of anti-Americanism? Hardly any I would suppose. Jonathan Swift, thou shouldst be living at this hour.

GURAAD, WLC BACK BRO

Bari Nomad, Many thanks for the precise summary of events, you are quite a historian. Mystery I hope that answers your query about the modern history of Somalia. As ever when there are well structured arguments backed with facts including dates of vents location and personalities we get silence, I hope that Mystery, Ayoub shiekh Miss Angel Dust and Oodweyn do not follow that path. Again Bari Nomad thanks.

Samurai Warrior, well done you have a good grasp of southern realities which escapes Mr Ooodweyn and the anti federalist camp so far. I agree 100% the USC regions can form a asingle state like Puntland it only takes will and that it seems has arrived.

May 19, 2003 An Unprecedented Crisis The Arab condition My impression is that many Arabs today feel that what has been taking place in Iraq over the last two months is little short of a catastrophe. True, Saddam Hussein's regime was a despicable one in every way and it deserved to be removed. Also true is the sense of anger many feel at how outlandishly cruel and despotic that regime was, and how dreadful has been the suffering of Iraq's people. There seems little doubt that far too many other governments and individuals connived at keeping Saddam Hussein in power, looking the other way as they went about their business as usual. Nevertheless, the only thing that gave the US the license to bomb the country and destroy its government was neither a moral right nor a rational argument but rather sheer military power. Having for years supported Baathist Iraq and Saddam Hussein himself, the United States and Britain arrogated to themselves the right to negate their own complicity in his despotism, and then to state that they were liberating Iraq from his hated tyranny. And what now seems to be emerging in the country both during and after the illegal Anglo-American war against the people and civilization that is the essence of Iraq, represents a very grave threat to the Arab people as a whole. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we recall in the first instance that, despite their many divisions and disputes, the Arabs are in fact a people not a collection of random countries passively available for outside intervention and rule. There is a clear line of imperial continuity that begins with Ottoman rule over the Arabs in the 16th century until our own time. After the Ottomans in World War One came the British and the French, and after them, in the period following World War Two, came America and Israel. One of the most insidiously influential strands of thought in recent American and Israeli Orientalism, and evident in American and Israeli policy since the late '40s, is a virulent, extremely deep-seated hostility to Arab nationalism and a political will to oppose and fight it in every possible way. The basic premise of Arab nationalism in the broad sense is that, with all their diversity and pluralism of substance and style, the people whose language and culture are Arab and Muslim (call them the Arab-speaking peoples, as Albert Hourani did in his last book) constitute a nation and not just a collection of states scattered between North Africa and the western boundaries of Iran. Any independent articulation of that premise was openly attacked, as in the 1956 Suez War, the French colonial war against Algeria, the Israeli wars of occupation and dispossession, and the campaign against Iraq, a war whose stated purpose was to topple a specific regime but whose real goal was the devastation of the most powerful Arab country. And just as the French, British, Israeli and American campaign against Abdel Nasser was designed to bring down a force that openly stated as its ambition the unification of the Arabs into a very powerful independent political force, the American goal today is to redraw the map of the Arab world to suit American, and not Arab, interests. US policy thrives on Arab fragmentation, collective inaction, and military and economic weakness. One would have to be foolish to argue that the nationalism and doctrinaire separateness of individual Arab states, whether the state is Egypt, Syria, Kuwait or Jordan, is a better thing, a more useful political actuality than some scheme of inter-Arab cooperation in economic, political and cultural spheres. Certainly, I see no need for total integration, but any form of useful cooperation and planning would be better than the disgraceful summits that have disfigured our national life, say, during the Iraq crisis. Every Arab asks the question, as does every foreigner: why do the Arabs never pool their resources to fight for the causes which officially, at least, they claim to support, and which, in the case of the Palestinians, their people actively, indeed passionately believe in? I will not spend time arguing that everything that has been done to promote Arab nationalism can be excused for its abuses, its short-sightedness, its wastefulness, repression and folly. The record is not a good one. But I do want to state categorically that, since the early 20th century, the Arabs have never been able to achieve their collective independence as a whole or in part exactly because of the designs on the strategic and cultural importance of their lands by outside powers. Today, no Arab state is free to dispose of its resources as its wishes, nor to take positions that represent that individual state's interests, especially if those interests seem to threaten US policies. In the more than 50 years since America assumed world dominance, and more so after the end of the Cold War, it has run its Middle Eastern policy based on two principles, and two principles alone: the defense of Israel and the free flow of Arab oil, both of which involved direct opposition to Arab nationalism. In all significant ways, with few exceptions, American policy has been contemptuous of and openly hostile to the aspirations of the Arab people, although with surprising success since Nasser's demise it has had few challengers among the Arab rulers who have gone along with everything required of them. During periods of the most extreme pressure on one or other of them (e.g. the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, or the sanctions against Iraq that were designed to weaken the people and the state as a whole, the bombings of Libya and Sudan, the threats against Syria, the pressure on Saudi Arabia), the collective weakness has been little short of stunning. Neither their enormous collective economic power nor the will of their people has moved the Arab states to even the slightest gesture of defiance. The imperial policy of divide and rule has reigned supreme, since each government seems to fear the possibility that it might damage its bilateral relationship with America. That consideration has taken precedence over any contingency, no matter how urgent. Some countries rely on American economic aid, others on American military protection. All, however, have decided that they do not trust each other any more than they care strongly for the welfare of their own people (which is to say they care very little), preferring the hauteur and contempt of the Americans who have gotten progressively worse in their dealings with the Arab states as the only superpower's arrogance has developed over time. Indeed, it is remarkable that the Arab countries have fought each other far more readily than they have the real aggressors from the outside. The result today, after the invasion of Iraq, is an Arab nation that is badly demoralized, crushed and beaten down, less able to do anything except acquiesce in announced American plans to gesture and posture in all sorts of efforts to re-draw the Middle East map to suit American and obviously Israeli interests. Even that extraordinarily grandiose scheme has yet to receive the vaguest collective answer from the Arab states, who seem to be hanging around waiting for something new to happen as Bush, Rumsfeld, Powell and the others lurch from threat to plan to visit to snub to bombing to unilateral announcement. What makes the whole business especially galling is that whereas the Arabs have totally accepted the American (or Quartet) roadmap that seems to have emerged from George Bush's waking dream, the Israelis have coolly withheld any such acceptance. How does it feel for a Palestinian to watch a second-rank leader like Abu Mazen, who has always been Arafat's faithful subordinate, embrace Colin Powell and the Americans when it is clear to the youngest child that the road map is designed a) to stimulate a Palestinian civil war and b) to offer Palestinian compliance with Israelo-American demands for "reform" in return for nothing much at all. How much further do we sink? And as for American plans in Iraq, it is now absolutely clear that what is going to happen is nothing less than an old-fashioned colonial occupation rather like Israel's since 1967. The idea of bringing in American-style democracy to Iraq means basically aligning the country with US policy, i.e. a peace treaty with Israel, oil markets for American profit, and civil order kept to a minimum that neither permits real opposition nor real institution building. Perhaps even the idea is to turn Iraq into civil war Lebanon. I am not certain. But take one small example of the kind of planning that is being undertaken. It was recently announced in the US press that a 32-year-old assistant professor of law, Noah Feldman, at New York University, would be responsible for producing a new Iraqi constitution. It was mentioned in all the media accounts of this major appointment that Feldman was an extraordinarily brilliant expert in Islamic law, had studied Arabic since he was 15, and grew up as an Orthodox Jew. But he has never practiced law in the Arab world, never been to Iraq, and seems to have no real practical background in the problems of post-war Iraq. What an open-faced snub not only to Iraq itself, but also to the legions of Arab and Muslim legal minds who could have done a perfectly acceptable job in the service of Iraq's future. But no, America wants it done by a fresh young fellow, so as to be able to say, "we have given Iraq its new democracy." The contempt is thick enough to cut with a knife. The seeming powerlessness of the Arabs in the face of all this is what is so discouraging, and not only because no real effort has been expended on fashioning a collective response to it. To someone who reflects on the situation from the outside as I do, I find it amazing that in this moment of crisis, there has been no evidence of any sort of appeal from the rulers to their people for support in what needs to be seen as a collective national threat. American military planners have made no secret of the fact that what they plan is radical change for the Arab world, a change that they can impose by force of arms and because there is little that opposes them. Moreover, the idea behind the effort seems to be nothing less than destroying the underlying unity of the Arab people once and for all, changing the bases of their lives and aspirations irremediably. To such a display of power I would have thought that an unprecedented alliance between Arab rulers and people represented the only possible deterrence. But that, clearly, would require an undertaking by every Arab government to open its society to its people, bring them in so to speak, remove all the repressive security measures in order to provide an organized opposition to the new imperialism. A people coerced into war, or a people silenced and repressed will never rise to such an occasion. What we must have are Arab societies released finally from their self-imposed state of siege between ruler and ruled. Why not instead welcome democracy in the defense of freedom and self-determination? Why not say, we want each and every citizen willing to be mobilized in a common front against a common enemy? We need every intellectual and every political force to pull together with us against the imperial scheme to re-design our lives without our consent. Why must resistance be left to extremism and desperate suicide bombers? As a digression, I might mention here that when I read last year's United Nations Human Development Report on the Arab World, I was struck by how little appreciation there was in it for imperialist intervention in the Arab world, and how deep and long-standing its effect has been. I certainly don't think that all our problems come from the outside, but I wouldn't want to say that all our problems were of our own making. Historical context and the problems of political fragmentation play a very great role, which the Report itself pays little attention to. The absence of democracy is partially the result of alliances made between Western powers on the one hand, and minority ruling regimes or parties on the other, not because the Arabs have no interest in democracy but because democracy has been seen as a threat by several actors in the drama. Besides, why adopt the American formula for democracy (usually a euphemism for the free market and little attention paid to human entitlement and social services) as the only one? This is a subject that needs considerably more debate than I have time for here. So let me return to my main point. Consider how much more effective today the Palestinian position might have been under the US-Israeli onslaught had there been a common show of unity instead of an unseemly scramble for positions on the delegation to see Colin Powell. I have not understood over the years why it is that Palestinian leaders have been unable to develop a common unified strategy for opposing the occupation and not getting diverted into one or another Mitchell, Tenet, or Quartet plan. Why not say to all Palestinians, we face one enemy whose design on our lands and lives is well-known and must be fought by us all together? The root problem everywhere, and not just in Palestine, is the fundamental rift between ruler and ruled that is one of the distorted offshoots of imperialism, this basic fear of democratic participation, as if too much freedom might lose the governing colonial elite some favor with the imperial authority. The result, of course, is not only the absence of real mobilization of everyone in the common struggle, but the perpetuation of fragmentation and petty factionalism. As things now stand, there are too many uninvolved, non-participating Arab citizens in the world today. Whether they want to or not, the Arab people today face a wholesale attack on their future by an imperial power, America, that acts in concert with Israel, to pacify, subdue, and finally reduce us to a bunch of warring fiefdoms whose first loyalty is not to their people but to the great superpower (and its local surrogate) itself. Not to understand that this is the conflict that will shape our area for decades to come is willingly to blind oneself. What is now needed is a breaking of the iron bands that tie Arab societies into sullen knots of disaffected people, insecure leaders, and alienated intellectuals. This is an unprecedented crisis. Unprecedented means are therefore required to confront it. The first step then is to realize the scope of the problem, and then go on to overcome what reduces us to helpless rage and marginalized reaction, a condition by no means to be accepted willingly. The alternative to such an unattractive condition promises a great deal more hope.

Mystery, it seems truth is a mystery to you. I admit it was a boqor and a Suldan who brought peace in Puntland there is no shame in that, the shame is that your so called governemtn had no rspesct for the noble men when they told them to get the 1800 troops of Ceel Afweyn. Hadrawe is teaching us peace( who is us?) Hadrawe is marching for Somali peace as part of the reconciliation process, the old man is visiting places and people he regards as his own again no shame in that. The poinT is and you proved it that everybody goes throigh civil war and destruction and Somaliland had a devestating one when TUUR fought EGAL. Again I like how you want to message your ego, but hey you are Somali after all.

What can you say, it brings tears to my eyes. Allah SWT.

Uday and Qusay died a noble death they fought to the end and did not allow themselves to be shackled and paraded on FOX news analysed by Zionists and evil arm chair Generals. Americans gained nothing from this in fact they lost on that day 6 hour gun battle with 4 people? How can they claim it’s a victory? However those who want to talk about the past of the brothers and that they deserved this and that, remember the young helpless and innocent men in camp X ray. Remember that more than 600 Muslim men are incarcerated like animals held in bondage just to prove that national security is restored. what eveil did these people do except that theyare muslims. Look at Iraq its destroyed because sadam said NO to the west. Look around you and dont believ the hype on TV. Arabs are hated they are being hunted. The neo-conservatives in America and the Muslim bashers talk about SADAM but seem to forget SHARON and PUTIN. So it’s a welcome news that Sadam Hussien’s son and grandson who we where told were cowards living in paradise somewhere in Russia, where in fact fighting just like ordinary foot soldiers and like ordinary foot soldiers they died. Celebrate Kaffir but every soul shall taste death as Allah ordained.

LOL, I wonder was Abdirahman Tuur and Egal on this coke addiction when they fought each other over power, losing thousands of lives in the process. Somaliland went through war when PUNTLAND was peaceful. So get of the high horse, or maybe you dont want to acknowledge that fact?

Gediid, Dear Brother, what was the question again? I believe that the time is right for most of the leaders to sign up to an agreement. The political movements and cajoling only prove this point. There is no single united clan, or region everybody is looking to broaden their base in order to include those the laymen think are enemies. Example Abdullahi Yusuf has support from Colonel Qalad, Mohamed Dhere and some influential Mogadishu leaders. While Qaynyare is in the same camp as the Juba Allaince , Xasan Abshir and others. To simplify this further you have SRRC and G8 and all these new monikers and in each camp you find people of different clans solidifying their political interests. It’s very different to the hay days of USC ,SSDF SNF,SPM and I think its positive. What do you think ?

Dusty, First and foremost you must understand what it is you are talking about. You must be able to analyse the situation correctly not believe that everything will play out as it did before. In Somalia today people ARE NOT DIVIDED ON CLAN LINES ANYMORE. People are ready to work for the restoration of the country. Look at this meeting in Niarobi , it has taken more than nine months but it has survived for nine months and that in itself is success. It is in a neutral country and the whole world is supporting it, this is also an important so take note. With the regards to the administrations, have you heard of Puntland? Who created it Somali people did, those you call “Illiterates”. It has a capital, parliament and administrative districts it even has this in LAS ANO and BUHUDLE. It has hospitals, university and a large Police force. My dear it is self funded by its people and not by any donor nations. What is suggested is not a miracle but that 3 0r 4 other states similar to Puntland be formed. These would be unites as GEORGIA is to NEW YORK in a UNION. This federal government would establish embassies and missions through the world and this would gain funding and investment for the country as a whole. Those who suffer from illusions of grandeur will not understand any of this, as they are to concerned with forever messaging the ego of their clans. The benefit of this for Somalia is to create states which can best meet the local priorities of the people and give them direct democracy. My dear ANOTHER FACT THERE IS NO FACTION OR REGIONAL ADMINSTRATION WHICH IS ABSENT FROM THE MEETING. 80% OF SOMALIA IS PRESENT TODAY, FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SUCH THING HAS TAKEN PLACE, NOT EVEN IN ARTA DID THIS HAPPEN. So take it easy people.

Hadraawi is a true Somali, he has that rare quality of understanding the truth. Well done and good luck to him he will be remembered.
