Somalia: World Bank pledges $1.5million grant to Puntland 15 May 15, 2009 - 10:37:29 AM GAROWE, Somalia May 15 (Garowe Online) - A World Bank delegation visited the capital of Somalia's self-governing federal State of Puntland and signed a grant with Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed "Farole," Radio Garowe reports. The World Bank delegation was led by Mr. Eric Johnson from Washington, D.C., and the hours-long meeting held at State House in Garowe, the capital of Puntland. Gen. Abdisamad Ali Shire, Puntland's vice president, was present at the meeting alongside Finance Minister Farah Ali Jama, Planning Minister Farah Adan Dhala and the Chief of Cabinet, Mr. Ali Barre Jama Gibin. Puntland President Abdirahman Farole President Farole offered the delegation an overview of recent developments in Puntland, including the peaceful presidential election in January, and discussed the region's development needs. Mr. Johnson commended the peaceful situation in Puntland and pledged that the World Bank would support the regional government with a US$1.5million grant, according to Planning Minister Dhala. "The [Puntland] administration plans to use the funds for renovation of the Port of Bossaso, the paving of a tarmac road to and from the port, and the construction of a vocational school," the Planning Minister told Radio Garowe after the conclusion of the meeting. It is the first grant the new administration led by President Farole has received from the international community since assuming office in January.

Puntland, located in northeastern Somalia, declared itself a federal state within Somalia in 1998 and has held three peaceful elections since. Source: Garowe Online

^^^Give us a break old man. This man was part of the group that allowed Kenya to get the Sea. The other was Sharif, Sharmarke & SHarif Xsaan, Xasan Dahir is an ***** but he did deliver a nice blow to this bigger clown... Nassir is right 2:0 to Aways..

^^He can be whatever he wants to be in SOL. He is not the first to pretend to be somethinge else.

^^A nice pleasent town not far from Bossaso. Or Garowe, or Dhahar, Badhan, LA or any other town in Puntland. The government would get space to pass laws.

^^^Meiji, this is the correcting Sharif's image topic. Nothing more, Yusuf has enough topics going. Even in retirement they love the lion from Puntland.

^^^Xiin: Yusuf has resigned the point of my quest these few days is to highlight that we who supported the true government were correct and wronged. All the arguments dear lad of the caravan fame have been debunked. 1. Foreign troops [sharif is hiding behidn them as we speak and they are shelling the city as you say in self defence]. 2. The Sharif is popular and has a base[ well that went out of the window since he cant even keep the North safe, while it was under Yusuf. 3. Sharif does not work with warlords and is clan free. He is meeting clan elders and with Jeele, Sudi Yalaxoe & Mr Dheere [his old boss] Sharif is an average politician ya Xiin, he is the leader of a few blocks of Mogadishu. Not to mention the new face of Ashahado la dirir. Or God's enemy.

^^^......

wouldn’t bother with duke. he keeps talking about somalinimo and yet his hero fought against his own country with Ethiopia not once but twice!! SomaliPirate: Adeer if you are going to speak in public speak like a grown man or keep quite like the children. Soamlia had two wars as a nation state, in 1964 and 1977 in both Yusuf Yey was a commander of men and a hero, in both. Thus he has fought for his nation with distinction. He laso fought Siyad Barre when you used to sing for him. He held out the USC when everyone thought they were invincible. He defeated xasan Dahir Aways not once but twice. The argument of the lame was that Yusuf was a cause of the battles in Mogadishu, that he was not popular, some even used the clan card The fact is that there is more blood shed today and districts that were peaceful under Yusuf are being shelled and abandoned today. You have no argument and in fact Yusuf skills and leadership are being highlighted by the incompetence of Sharif & Xasan Dahir.

Carmo..

^^^Yeah he should with Omar Hashi.

^^^His troops defected in mass, and were a soft in battle. Since the defeats he has not spoken.

Waxaa kamid ah Xaafadaha cusub ee Alshabaab ay sababta u noqdeen dadka in ay ka barakacaan Degmada Shibis, Yaaqshiid qeybo aanan horey looga cararin, Wardhiigleey, Boondheere iyo qeybaha soo horeeya ee Degmada Kaaraan. Waxaa sidoo kale suuragal ah haddii dagaalada ay sii socdaan barakaca uu saameyn kuyeesho degmooyin aanan waligooda laga cararin sida Shangaani, Kaaraan iyo kuwa kale.

Barakac aanan horey loo arag oo Muqdisho kasocda. Barakac aanan horey loo arag oo Muqdisho kasocda. Thursday, 14 May 2009 13:43 BXM Magaalada Muqdisho ayaa maanta boosteejooyinka gawaarida laga raaco marka aad istaagto waxaad qireysaa in Muqdisho dadkii kusugnaa oo idil ay safar yihiin oo ay magaalada isaga baxayaan. Muqdisho xilligii Itoobiyaanka ay kusugnaayeen ayaa waxaa si aad ah looga barakacay xaafadaha katirsan Degmada dayniile, Huriwaa iyo xaafado ay kamid yihiin Suuqa Xoolaha, Albraka, Black Sea iyo deegaanno kooban. Deegaannadaasi dadkii ka barakacay ayaa waxa ay degmo ka buureen inta u dhaxeysa Muqdisho iyo Afgooye, waxaana dadkaasi ay ku qanacsanaayeen in jihaad lagu jiray oo dalka itoobiyaan laga xoreynayay. Maanta oo ay dalka ka baxeen Ciidamada Itoobiyaanka ayaa xaafadahaasi qaar markii lagus oo laabtay waxa ay sabab u noqdeen alshabaab in dib looga barakaco waliba lagu daro xaafado horey aanan looga barakicin. Waxaa kamid ah Xaafadaha cusub ee Alshabaab ay sababta u noqdeen dadka in ay ka barakacaan Degmada Shibis, Yaaqshiid qeybo aanan horey looga cararin, Wardhiigleey, Boondheere iyo qeybaha soo horeeya ee Degmada Kaaraan. Waxaa sidoo kale suuragal ah haddii dagaalada ay sii socdaan barakaca uu saameyn kuyeesho degmooyin aanan waligooda laga cararin sida Shangaani, Kaaraan iyo kuwa kale. Dadka ayaa badankooda waxa ay gaarayaan inta u dhaxeysa Muqdisho iyo Afgooye halkaasi oo dhul banaan ay ka degayaan kadibna ku hoyanayaan marooyin iyo baakado ay is dulsaaraan oo qol ay ka sameystaan roobka marka uu yimaadana dhibaato weyn kala kulma.

Xiin: adeer Yey supporters are not frustrated with Sharif, he has made the situation worse, now thats frustrating, he has proven the old man was much more competent and had a real base.

^^^Did you just say something or was it just the usual waffle. Nur Cade, Ahmed Walid Abdalla's peace process has had a baby one ugly one, who is now feasting on the poor people of Mogadishu. Now is 8 days of war, deaths of 200 and a million refugess fleeing for their lives progress? Is the Somali national government with its 500 MP's in a better position today? If any of these are YES, then Walid Abdalla is a genius.

^^^Obviously there was 100% of Somalia under A/Yusuf, then Sharif Ahmed sold some of it. Now there is less 100% of Somalia thanks to you and your hero. :mad: Puntland is still 1/3 of Somalia and none of it is for sale. The Somali people can be assured of that. Shabaab Shabbele , Your argument is that of a mad man, keep up with the news or go join the fake Mujihds and blow yourserlf up.

ABWAN: Do you even know what the topic is about; you seem to be lost as usual. Its not about the Duke saxib. Mr Walid Abdalla and a few clowns like Nur Cade thought it was fun to play with the government structure. The Djibouti agreement was a sham, the Duke warned it would fail. It has led to this and we know the situation on the ground. Eight days of urban warfare with hundreds dead, many more maimed and a near million on the run. This is the topic of the thread ABWAN, stay focused, also Walid Abdalla is the architect of selling the sea to Kenya. Keep up my friend. My uncle smells of roses right now.

ABWAN: Adeer who clan cleansed Mogadishu? Also why are you not demonstrating today?

You are contradicting yourself, out of anger it seems. Puntland is 1/3 of Somalia thus how can Somalia be anything without a 1/3 of it. Thus how can you LOVE Somalia and not love 1/3 of it. Think before you utter some meaningless words. Puntland has given hope to Somalia, while your hero sells the sea.

^^^You don’t care about the sea? Thus you are someone of no importance and no brains. You uttered those words, because like many this day you have nothing to support your assumptions. “Ethiopia, Uganda, Burundi” are all Africans who played roles and continue to play roles in the country. The sea is was ours until this clown gave away for a few pennies. Those who care about the sea, will reember this as the greatest treason in history. A few pennies for $ billions.

^^^loool. All that time and you came back with the usual crap. Adeer as long as you have admited you aint from Puntland, and that you are not the judge of history, we have come along way. As for this topic, Yusuf has been vindicated, after this point the ignorant bunch wont be able to open their mouth. Let history decide the rest.

Mogadishu should no longer be seen as a capital for Somalia if it falls to Xasan Dahir and the clowns.
