  1. ^^^Nice one. The Italians build those new Hospitals, roads and homes huh... Anyhow the Eritreans are making monkeys out of Ethiopia thus far... Somaliland is wonderful and with a comprehensive Somali peace, it with other regions of the republic will prosper. Somali's are looking to compete with Singapore and Hong of the future insha Allah. We wish our neighbours only learn the benefits of cooking food.
  2. ^^^And those criminals at the ICG are saying this country will fail. Its better run than Ethiopia which seems to be forever wasting funds on military and control.. Anyhow Aferwarki is a man man, but sometimes there is a thin line between insanity and genius..
  3. Wefri Warsay Yika'alo The Wefri Warsay Yika'alo (WWY) or Warsay Yika'alo Program of Eritrea is an ambitious project of post-war recovery.

These investments are typically made by a mixture of grants and loans from international organizations and from the Government of Eritrea.

  4. Liiban brother; First of all I support and speak voluntarily for the State of Puntland and Somali interest. I believe SSC regions are part and parcel of the Puntland State and there is no division, conflict or historical enmity between the people of Puntland. I have always supported the leaders of Puntland regardless of clan and in fact I have supported and was fortunate enough to meet H.E Mohamed Abdi Hashi. I was a staunch supporter of Gen Ilka-jiir and did not support the current head of Puntland when he was campaigning nor gave my support to Nurudin Diirieye, my choice was General Abdullahi. Now for the Xaglatosiye led movement. I support his drive, against the secessionists. Though violence is not necessarily the answer to get rid of their militia. I agree with the need to build strong local infrastructure, and institution. I acknowledge the failures of the Puntland admin. The difference between us is how to correct this political problem, and how to create an admin that will truly serve the interest of the people of Puntland as a whole? If the SSC project becomes a more inclusive, clearer on its agenda and able to see the problems as they are, failures of men, then it will have great support from its core base and from those who thirst for change across the state. Xaglatosiye is a young man, he is not a Faroole or Yusuf or Hashi. He is from a new generation. He is also Western educated and holds an MPA, has business in the US and by all accounts a charismatic leader who forged a good following in his home region of Cayn. One expected big things from him, and I still do. Its clear that he has a deep seated ambition and that’s a start. So Liiban, I agree with the SSC, and its not a threat to my vision of a Puntland at the center of a unified Somalia. Funny I once predicted that Xaglatosiye is likely to be the President of Puntland soon. Cade and Faroole were both opposition figures who became State heads. Who is to say Saleban Ciise is not the next one? Though I still prefer IlkaJiir.

  16. Can Somalia's Government Survive a PM Resignation? By Nick Wadhams ------------------------------------------------- When Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed took office in January 2009, hopes were high that here, finally, was the man who might stand a chance of pulling his country from the ruin it had fallen into after 20 years of near-perpetual war. A former member of Somalia's main Islamic political group, Sharif supposedly had good enough contacts to start reconciling with armed Islamic hardliners. He was also hailed as a man of integrity who could rise above the corruption, petty squabbles and clan politics that had turned Somalia's Transitional Federal Government (TFG) — which he would now lead — into a laughingstock. (See more on Sharif in this TIME Q&A.) But whatever hopes there were that Sharif's administration would turn things around were dashed on Tuesday when his prime minister, Omar Abdirashid Sharmarke, resigned under pressure, in the culmination of a political battle that had dragged on for several months. That two leaders could clash so intensely when their government controls an area only the size of a few football fields and offers no services to Somalia's people might seem funny if it were not so awful, and so typical of the Somali leaders who have come before them. Foreign diplomats, experts and Somalis themselves say that whatever faith anyone had in the TFG as an institution is now spent, and many predict its imminent collapse. These days, Somalis in Mogadishu see very little difference between the government and the main insurgent groups. "Everybody is giving up on TFG," Bronwyn Bruton, author of a special report on Somalia for the Council on Foreign Relations, tells TIME. "I don't think anybody is taking them seriously. Honestly if you look down the road three or four months, it does not look good." (See pictures of Somalia's pirates.) Founded in 2004, the Transitional Federal Government was meant to be a bridge to a more permanent government once peace was restored to Somalia. The deadline for that to happen was 2011, when Somalia is also supposed to adopt a new constitution. But instead of doing what they can to govern their country, Somalia's leaders have always seemed more interested in playing games and one-upping each other. Somalia's current leaders say the looming deadline was the reason for Sharif's getting rid of Sharmarke. "The president felt that the government was not performing to the maximum," Sharif's spokesman Abdirashid Hashi tells TIME, in what could be the understatement of the millennium. "He wanted a leaner, more effective cabinet, so there was a feeling that it was better to reform the system and move forward." (See how al-Shabab emerged from the chaos of Somalia.) Indeed there is quite a lot of flab in Somalia's government, which has, among its 40 or so Cabinet members, one who oversees the Ministry for Tourism and Wildlife — even though the country, on the brink of war and where foreigners are considered prime targets for hostage taking, isn't exactly a tourist hotspot. Despite international backing and the presence of African Union troops, the TFG has proven totally incapable of making life any better for Somalis, and in fact has seen its power steadily erode as insurgent group al-Shabaab has gained strength. The group has recently carried out a string of successful and deadly attacks, culminating with the storming of a Mogadishu hotel in late August that killed at least 30 people. Source: time.com
