^^^Again keep being upset and hatefull at this important juncture, the 11th anniversary of the creation of Puntland State. One can claim Qhardo all one wants but its transparent that you are as fake as your name.

^^^I am not fighting the man adeer, just highlighting the truth. The man has failed and if tanks can secure the city then how does help his cause, it has nothing to do with his political skills, popularity and base and more to do with foreign power and personal. Sharif Ahmed has far greater problems than anyone could have foreseen and the main ones are his own weaknesses and lack of leadership skills. Good luck to the man but I pray for the country and people.

Adeer don’t spoil the thread it is not about you. You are so vain. The city you are talking about is part of the state of Puntland and thus your hate, divisive comments are unwarranted and quite abhorrent. Now I am in celebratory mood Qardo however you spell it will celebrate with the rest of the towns, villages, and dwellings it will celebrate with the far flung Diaspora. Now go and be hateful somewhere else Puntland has moved on.

US Congressman Snubs Somaliland Foreign Minister But Meets with KULMIYE’s Foreign Secretary 30 July 2009 | News HARGEISA, Somaliland (Somaliland Globe)- US Congressman Donald Payne snubbed Somaliland foreign minister, Abdillahi Mohamed Duale, and met with Dr. Mohamed Omer- foreign secretary of Somaliland’s opposition KULMIYE party in Washington DC. Dr. Omer arrived in Washington on Sunday at the invitation of Donald Payne (D-NJ), chairman of subcommittee on Africa and Global Health, while the foreign secretary of Somaliland who remained in Washington for days was told the congressman wasn’t available to see him. This was so humiliating for president Dahir Rayale’s government following its refusal to attend and participate in recent congressional hearing about Somalia chaired by Donald Payne. The Somaliland government refused the idea of sharing a roundtable with representatives from the self-declared autonomous region of Puntland and Somalia, saying Somaliland is independent from Somalia and would not be lumped together with it as if it was still an integral part of Somalia. Officials of Somaliland’s leading opposition party, KULMIYE, however saw this in a completely different light and thought it would be well advised to meet with a powerful man like congressman Payne who is a friend of Somaliland and to “put our message across without compromising the sovereignty and independence of Somaliland in any shape or form”. Representative Donald Payne and Dr. Omer discussed a number of issues including the forthcoming Somaliland presidential election and other important issues in the region. Representative Payne was quoted as saying that “the upcoming Somaliland presidential election should go ahead as planned”. In a statement issued by Dr. Saad Noor, Somaliland representative to the US, Somaliland foreign minister, Mr. Abdillahi Duale, was equally on a working visit to the US for almost two weeks as part of “a periodic review of the relations between the two countries comprising a follow-up on pending issues and consultations on areas of mutual interest”. Dr. Noor also confirmed Mr. Duale was received by president Obama’s advisor on Africa and met other officials from USAID although “Donald Payne refused to meet him,” according to VOA radio. Ted Dagne, a specialist on African Affairs at the Congressional Research Service, said: “Representative Donald Payne do not recognise Mr. Duale as the only one who represent the Somaliland people and will meet any other official from Somaliland,” according to VOA radio- Somali Service. Dr. Noor said: “ while we have a great deal of respect for Rep. Donald Payne nonetheless we will not accept anything we consider to be detrimental to the independence and sovereignty of Somaliland”.

Saddexda Xisbi Siyaasi oo ka hadlay aragtidooda eriga Interpeace July 30th, 2009 Comments Off Hargeysa (Somaliland.Org)- Saddexda Xisbi Siyaasi ee Somaliland ayaa mawqifyo kala duwan iska taagay tallaabada ay Xukuumadda Somaliland dalka kaga saartay Hay’adda Interpeace. Waxaanay sidoo kale ku kala qaybsameen jawaabtii Qaadhaan-bixiyayaash u ka soo saareen go’aanka Komishanka ee ahaa in diiwaan-gelin la’aan lagu galo Doorashada Madaxtooyada. Hoggaanka sare ee Axsaabta Siyaasadda ee UDUB, KULMIYE iyo UCID ayaa ku kala qaybsamay tallaabada Xukuumaddu dalka kaga saartay Masuulkii Hay’adda Interpeace Mr. Robin Zamora oo maanta dalka laga masaafuriyay. Axsaabta Mucaaradka ah ayaa dhaleeceeyay, isla markaana tallaabadaa ku tilmaamay mid lagu burburinayo dimquraadiyadda iyo Doorashooyinka Somaliland. “Waanu cambaaraynayaa eriga Interpeace. Liiska ay soo saareen-na ma ahayn mid ay Interpeace gaar u qaadatay ee wuxuu ahaa mid loo dhan yahay.” Sidaa waxa yidhi Guddoomiyaha UCID Faysal Cali Waraabe oo ka qayb-galayay Dood gaaban oo Idaacadda BBC u qabatay hoggaanka saddexda Xisbi Siyaasi. Dhinaca Xisbiga Kulmiye waxa isna uga qayb galay Guddoomiye-xigeenka Xisbigaas Muuse Biixi Cabdi. “Waxaanu u aragnaa DOorashadii oo la diidan yahay oo la burburiyay.. In Liiskan la qaybiyo oo Xisbi kasta la siiyo ayuu dhigayaa Sharciga Doorashooyinku, waanu qaadanay waana Liis sax ah. Komishanku wuxuu leeyahay ma jiro Liiskan, anaguna waxaanu leenahay wuu jiraa oo waa sax.” Ayuu yidhi Muse Biixi. Xisbiga UDUB ee talada dalka haya, ayaa isna ka hadlay arrintan. “Ninkaasi haddii uu ku xad-gudbay nidaamkii uu ugu xil-saarnaa oo uu soo saaray Liis aan haba-yaraatee qabyo ah, haddii ciddii uu la tashanayay ee Komsihanku ka mid yahay ka booday, oo uu guddidii farsamada ka dul booday, sharcigii umaddana uu ku tuntay, waxaanu qabnaa in Sharcigu qabanayaa sida qof walba oo kale uu u qabanayo.. Xaq uma laha in uu Liiskaas soo saaro oo waa xad-gudub.” Sidaa waxa yidhi Xogyaha guud ee UDUB Jaamac Yaasiin Faarax. Somaliland.Org Hargeisa News Desk bmm@somaliland.com

Daahir Riyaale: Beesha Caalamka ma maamusho Soomaliland Horseed Media Hargeysa, Somaliland Madaxweynaha maamulka Soomaaliland Daahir Riyaale Kaahin ayaa ku dhawaaqay in Doorashada ay dhici doonto ayadoo Diinwaangelintii la qaaday, wax kama jiraan laga soo qaadayo, oo habkii waagii hore ee safafka ahaa, codka loo dhiiban doono. Madaxweyne Riyaale ayaa ku sheegay in “go’ aan sax ah”, in ay dowlada Somaliland dalka ka saarto mas’uulkii u joogay hay’ ada Interpeace ee gacanta siinayey Guddiga Doorashada Soomaaliland. “….Wax badan baan ninkan u dul qaadaneynay…hawlo uusan lahayn buu faraha la galay…” ayuu yiri Madaxweynaha Soomaaliland oo wareysi siinayey BBC-da. Ciidamada Booliiska ee Soomaaliland ayaa saaka Hotel Mansoor ka kaxeeyey Mr.Samoro oo ahaa wakiilkii hay’ ada Interpeace ee Soomaaliland, kadib markii ay dowlada Soomaaliland ku eedaysay in, mas’ uulkan uu bixiyey listigii diiwaangelinta shacabka. Khilaafkan ayaa soo shaac baxay todobaadkan kadib markii Guddiga Doorashada Soomaaliland uu sheegay in Serverkii codbixinta maamuli lahaa uusan wakhtigii la rabay ku hawlgelin, taasina ay ku go’ aamiyeen in doorashada Soomaaliland lagu galo qaabkii hore, ee ahaa safafka inay dadka galaan oo codkooda dhiibtaan, ayadoo aysan jirin wax diiwaangelin ah. Dhinaca kale hay’ada Interpeace oo ahayd midii gacanta siineysay guddiga Doorashada, isla markaana isha ku heysay hawlaha diiwaangelinta iyo hirgelinta serverka cododka lagu xareenayo, ayaa sheegtay in Diiwaangelinta ay u dhacday sidii la rabay, isla markaana diiwaanka laga saaray wixii khalad ahaa iyo magacyadii badnaa ee dhowrka mar la qoray, ayadoo sheegtay in doorashada lagu geli karo habkii Beesha Caalamka ku maalgelisay oo ah in cod walba la tirin karo, inta diiwaangashana ay codeyn karaan. Arritan ayaa meeshii ugu danbeysay gaartay kadib markii ay hay’ada Interpeace usoo bandhigtay xisbiyadda Mucaaridka diiwaankii dadka codeyn kara, taasi oo cadeyn uga dhigeen in diyaar uu yahay nidaamka codbixinta saxan. Tilaabadan ayay si weyn uga caroodeen guddiga Doorashada ee ayagu horey u sheegay in diiwaangelinta ay diyaarsaneyn, ayagoo markaasi ku eedeeyey Mr.Samoro inuu bixiyey xog uusan xaq ullahayn inuu bixiyo. Dowlada Soomaaliland oo ayadu si deg degleh u qaadatay sida ay sheegeen codsi uga yimid Guddiga Doorashada, ayaa maanta dalkeeda ka musaafuriysay mas’ uulkii Mr.Samoro ee hay’ ada interpeace. Tarxiilka Mr.Samoro, ayaa lagu tilmaamay mid waji gabax weyn ku ah maamulka Daahir Riyaale kaahin isla markaana dhaawac weyn u keeni doona dadaalkii ay Soomaaliland ugu jirtay Aqoonsiga, caalamka. Hay’ada Interpeace ayaa ayadu ahayd midda u mataleysay Deeq bixiyayaasha Beesha Caalamka, isla markaana isha ku heysay habka doorashada ay u dhaceyso. Waxayna muujineysaa in diiwaangelintii la diyaariyey uu maamulka Soomaaliland garab maray, isla markaana doorbiday in doorashada lagu galo habkii hore, oo ay xisbiyada Mucaaridka ku sheegeen inuu yahay hab khaldan oo musuq maasuq badan ka dhalan karo. Hadaba Madaxweynaha Soomaaliland Daahir Riyaale Kaahin oo ka hadlay arrimahan, ayaa maanta sheegay in dowladiisa ay garatay inay ku taageerto go’aankii Guddiga Doorashada. Daahir Riyaale ayaa sheegay in diiwaangelin khaldan aan doorasho lagu geli doonin, isla markaana hay’ ada Interpeace ay faraha la gashay hawshii Guddiga Doorashada. Daahir Riyaale oo wax laga weydiiyey in tilaabada ay dowladiisu qaaday loo arki karo mid ka baxsan Dimuquraadiyada, dhaawacna uga imaan karo dhinaca Beesha Caalamka ayaa yiri “…Beesha Caalamka ma dhisin Soomaaliland,….mar hore baanu bilownay Dimuquraadiyada, Beesha Caalamka waxay ahayd inay gacan nagu siiso doorashada, ee maahayn inay na maamusho….” Ayuu yiri Madaxweynaha Soomaaliland Daahir Riyaale Kaahin oo ay ka muuqatay isku kalsooni ka baxsan taageerada Beesha Caalamka. “…Anagaa hada isku kalsoonaaneyna oo keenayna lacagta Doorashada…” ayuu yiri Daahir Riyaale oo meesha ka saaray kaalintii Beesha Caalamka ku lahayd Doorashooyinka Soomaaliland. Go’aanka Daahir Riyaale ayaa ah mid siyaasiyan u dhaawici kara xiriirkii ka dhaxeeyey Deeq bixiyayaasha caalamka iyo Soomaaliland.

^^^Qhardo & its people will no doubt celebrate, technical issues aside, this is about Puntland State of Somalia it is not about this admin or those before it, why you are hating is all together a different question?

Lool now Riyaale is chasing the same foreign organisation that used to support the secessionist talking points. Things don't look good JB. Your foreign minister looks like a crak Head in Washington & now this.

^^^good point.

Lool, now you are losing the plot, Sharif has failed and this question is just to highlight how far the man has traveled, if it does not mater then great. He can't then lecture others and use Scripture in his ever confused utterences. Now go be a good boy and liberate the Mohadishu Society without resorting to foreign fighters, the base in Punt has been secured without foreigners.

lool Meji Yusufites have never pretended to be holly men, we had four years crushed our enemies and retired. The base is secure under a new admin in Faroole. it's you who is bitter for you fought Yusuf fir no reason other than clan and when he left the situation became even worse for you, all your base has been over run, civilians killed maimed and fled. Thus who is bitter a man who retired or the one who lost his base?

Lool Mogadishu society adeer the Sharif as a fake religious pretender as you call the. Would no doubt kiss her behind if it would get him anywhere, alas let's see and it's more relevent than what jeans one wears or if the fake Mogadishu Society will ever recover.

Adam as you can see your support for MMA won't make the mans argument stick , the only person who was torn apart was our own Xiin who resorted to insult a Somali sister when he got beat, then was rescued by MMA and the thread taken down. That's losing the Duke will not get upset and the likes of MMA and a few four eyes like Nur Cade won't ever get to the Duke.

MMS as usual the clueless anti Puntlander if SOL trying to make a point when there is none. Did I o ce say this meeting is not happening nor is unimportant? Also is there lack of coverage to this meeting in Sol today? No the thread here is not about the H&M Jean you like & the perfumes you wear now that's meaningless and a waste of bandwidth. The topic is as with the original article looking for insight into the religious claims of said Sharif for if he does not shake Somali women hands should he Mrs Clinton and if he does what would it say about all the Islamic government he heads? Again poof MMA make a point will you Abdullahi Yusuf is so far the most successful leader in post war Somalia, Abdiqasin & the happless clanist you support have left nothing Yusuf left Puntland and even the Villa Sharif is hiding in.

The post is simply to highlight the falacy of the fake religious groups including Mr Hotel. Also I found the article on Wadanka quite ammusing.

Much ado about nothing if the man does not shake her hand the US will no doubt understand that it is not customary under his culture to do so. If they want to help then such minor jestures won't have any effect. If they dnt want to help then even if he sang her favourite Sinatra song as if Old blue eyes was alive then they won't help. Wish him the best it's been a horrid six month for him and his supporters, today he is leading the weakest faction in all of the Horn even Hizbul Islam has more clout.

Most Somali's want a better environment than the one they have been in the past 20 years, they could care less who the President is. The problem is that it is his friends and those who he used to claim leadership off that are the most hostile to him. Now if it's true and Walid Abdalla has turned on him then there is something about this Sharif hotel that changes his friends into foes, what is it?

Are you lost? This is not the jokes section lad and livestock trade is no joke in Somalia. Mashaallah it's going well in Benderqassim today.

Lool adeer the Duke wants some change that's positive for the Somali people if you are now giving us timelin when the western & others will intervene & attack Al Shabaab then it's most welcome, I hope it's not hot air like the Djibouti peace process and the peace dividend that the people of Mogadishu are enjoying right now. As for Walid Abdalla, Nur clown and the other they are even worse than Sharif Hotel and thus will only end up making things worse. They are just masking thier utter failure and despair at how bad Sharif is performing. Anyhow keep us updated all we see now is a government that controls one Villa and not a single region.

I am not dear brother and to me it matters not if he kisses the lady, there are more important issues at hand. The problem is the fake religious base. So what do you think will the holly man shake hands with the western lady?
