L ivestock killed by drought in Somalia. A serious drought has taken hold in parts of southern Somalia and thousands of people are facing significant water and food shortages, a minister of the transitional government told IRIN on Thursday. Muhammad Abdi Hayir, Minister for Information of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), said the drought was most acute in the regions of Gedo and Middle Juba and parts of Lower Juba. "The poor Gu rains [of March to June], coupled with the almost total collapse of the rural water system, were the cause of an impending crisis," he said. A 200-liter drum of water was selling at around 200,000 shillings (about US $20), a sum of money the majority of the population cannot afford, he said. He added that if the Deyr rains [normally due in October/November] are poor or late, "then we have a serious crisis on our hands". Reports the government was getting indicated "large numbers of livestock and a number of people have already died", he said. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) Deputy Country Director for Somalia, Leo Van der Velden, said aid agencies were in the process of delivering 2,400 tonnes of food to some 225,000 beneficiaries there, but insecurity and logistical problems had hampered operations. "We are aware of the situation. It is aggravated by civil strife. In Lower Juba, for example, you have marginalised groups which are vulnerable," der Velden told IRIN on Thursday. "Aid agencies do not have complete access to these people due to insecurity and logistical problems." Hayir said the livelihood of most of the people in Somalia revolved around livestock and if livestock, already weakened by lack of water and pasture, started dying "then it is only a matter of time before people start dying". The deteriorating situation was already leading to the massive movement of people and livestock toward the river Juba area, which would cause environmental problems and could also contribute to insecurity. "Somalis are nomads and most often fight over water and grazing," he added. The TFG was calling on the international community to assist before the situation turned into a catastrophe, he said. Trucking water to the most affected districts should be a priority, as well as feeding those who had lost their livestock, he stressed. Der Velden said efforts to deliver food aid had also been affected by recent hijackings of ships off the Somali coast. Two of the ships had been chartered by WFP to carry food to Somalia. "We had problems with the vessels that were hijacked, but we are looking for alternatives, including bringing in food by road," he added. NAIROBI, 27 Oct 2005, Reuters/IRIN _________________ It was unheard of or very, very rare a drought to occur in Jubbooyinka before the war, and now it is increasinly becoming a commonplace. Also in the other day, the environment minister of Kenya was attributing the increasingly droughts happening in NFD to the desertification of Jubbooyinka. Another warlods-made catastrophe. :mad:

Waayo waayo.

Salaan... First, little clarification: What I wrote earlier was based on my personal (and remember, it is personal and nothing more) analysis was about these six fateful days. Not '60s as a whole. Xoogsade, sax, wax dagaal Soomaalida ka dhaliyo mala weynaayo, laakiin dad badan Soomaalida horboode u eh, had iyo jeer jecel inay dalka u taliyaan hadee ka joogi lahayeen taliska wadanka mise lexjecelnimada, Soomaaliya kistoo waa roonaan lahayd. Before Britain left and the Union Jack was the flag of the region; there was two prominent political parties in the North; USP (Awdal, Sool and Sanaag) and SNL (Togdheer and Waqooyi Galbeed). These were organized around the tribal lineages. Thusly, when the Somali become an state; USP was dissolved and it’s leaders become prominent leaders within the SYL government thusly becoming part and parcel of the state. Ali Garad who was a heavyweight Cabinet minister and had a huge following in Sool, Sanaag and Awdal was instrumental for the nomination of Rashid to be head of the partly. Sophist, regional discontent was there in Waqooyi, the majority, obviously, might have been Reer Waqooyi Galbeed; nevertheless, it was there. If we broaden, this discontentment wasn’t itself confined to Waqooyi people for there was an equal discontent in reer Arlaadi provinces. Read below about C/qaadir Soobe. you can hold as a political truth, the assertion that says the intervention of the army to save the nation from the horror of the corrupt politician was required urgently; which is what the revisionist historians of Siyadiste's appologist school of the Somali past, had effectively made it as the Accepted Collective Wisdom, across the Somali's political spsche. Tolstoy, that was some of the top officials of the military’s reasoning, not a plausible fact believed by some Soomaalis, including me. But a considerable section of the masses believed and bought, and they were those who welcomed the coup, thinking it might be a new beginning day. Indeed, it was a beginning day, but God knows the U-turn it took. You also answered your own question, by stating this: ...also one can say that men like, Qorshel and Caynaanshe, were merely men, who thought, the elected politician's in the parliament were leading the country to ruin, and they therefore, were duty-bound to safe it; which meant all Siyad Barre has to do, was to talk a good game of Nationalism to them, and make them listern a few times As I wrote above, there were some sceptical about the coup in the top military leadership. Of course, that means, a great deal of hardball politics would be required between the Tribal power-brokers; but finally I believe, some formula if not out right National Census, would be introduced, in-order to reduced the existing Anomoly of parliamentary arithmetic of those time There was a man by the name C/qaadir Soobe, who always, in those days, used to argue there must be a national census, to counterpoint his perceived biased of seeing the non-pastoral tribes power isku koobay. He believed those power isku koobay were, in fact, minority. He also openly advocated in order the new Soomaali republic to be a success story on the widen Africa, it should be federalized. He believed his people were marginalized politically and economincally by other non-pastoral tribes. He thus reconstructed a political party, which was the official opposition in that time, mainly to advocate these issues he passionately cared. He believed that his people were marginalized. ...therefore the question, is how do move from there(bare facts) to universally accepted historical truth(which itself, is a mere subjective view of those facts, not withstanding how many times you call your version of history as that Universally Accepted One) There is no such thing called "universal truth," save the Divine Truths. All else is a play, and each has his or her version of what is perceived to be truth, even if the odds of such situations are overwhelming; men will always believe what they want to believe. By the way also, I believe, that Your Late Father (alah-yarxamu) would of eventually been forced to declare his hand, politically, as to which group he will bless them, in return of his seat at the Speakership). My old man is still alive and breathing. Thank you. ...there is no such thing as north Somalia which includes former British colony, because there is big division within the past colony along clan lines, because northwest and ssc are bitter rivals, even we see today how somaliland is very divided in secession issue Soomaal, there is a such thing called Waqooyi. Yes. Don't confuse with Waqooyi Galbeed, the province, which I assume you meant. Waqooyi is a region term, and covers both Waqooyi Galbeed and Waqooyi Bari. true President cabdurashiid was killed in laascaanood, BUT wasnot because reer laascaanood were unhappy about his administration because reer laascoonood were staunch supporters of him I never wrote a local Laas Caanood native killed Cabdirashiid Cali Sharmaarke. Nor did I suggest he was murdered as a result of region discontent. But the accepted truth in that time was C/rashiid, Eebe ha u naxariitee, was a staunch Soomaali nationalist, who cared equally all Soomaalis, regardless where they hailed from, thus he thought Sool likewise wasn't developed too, same like other Waqooyi provinces. He was also wadaad (not the seef labood and surwaalgaab kind of wadaado of today), which further made him deal Soomaalis fairly. Although Somalia had the first democratic government in all Africa, however the civilian government that lasted 9 years had tough time and failed because of clan nature of Somali politics Any government or regime Soomaaliya is going to have will fail again and again if we never learn. Only fools never learn. We need a complete overhaul of how things we do in government. I never understood why we stick this "president" and "prime minister" sorta of government, as though this particular kind of government is sacred. We need to come up something else, a radical new ideas to govern. We also need to eradicate qabyaalad, or all-together qabiil as we know. We need a political as well as cultural revolution. We will never progress as long as regions are synonymous with particular qabiilo.

Salaan... I sometimes think, would Soomaaliya of today been any way different if there wasn't a coup, and most of all, if marxuum C/rashiid weren't assassinated? It is a fruitless and hopeless thinking, I know. But would it have been any different? Would have Soomaaliya taken another untwisted course? C/rashiid was touring on Waqooyi provinces, particularly Togdheer, because there were considerable discontent by the masses in those provinces. The discontent wasn't the result of qabiil, but regional discontent, experienced by the whole region that joined the union, including reer Sanaag and Sool, which the latter was part of Togdheer province at that time. To dissuade this inevitable dissatisfaction becoming a boiling issue and widespread, C/rashiid and some other high officials from the South decided to tour that region, promising, in campaign-style, in his nascent administration things will change, and must change. The appointment of Cigaal as a prime minister was a beginning, he promised. Development would have been next. Then, events abruptly turned into an unexpected direction. He was assassinated upon landing in Laas Caanood. There were six crucial days between marxuum's assassination and the coup. The first few days were devoted to his funeral, such bringing the body to Xamar and waiting Cigaal's return from abroad. The later days was what made the coup possible. The short nine years of democratic birth of the Republic had a perceived perception of qabyaalad becoming a fact of political life. Everything from a multitude of qabiil-based parties to members of parliament openly criss-crossing the parliament floor to governing Party and then to their oppositional parties if it didn't help their political aspirations. Seeing this, the military and some members of the police didn't like it. It was obvious, the military brass advocated silently, change must be made or the country would turn into worse way. It got worse, the perception goes, in mid '60s. Now many folks, particularly ciyaalka qurba ku qaan gaaray, think the coup in that fateful October day of 1969 was a one-man planned and executed afgambi. It wasn't. For the reasons above, the assassination just expedited the military's chance of "saving" the country; that was military's reasoning. Another cause that accelerated the coup, and also persuaded some sceptical members of military's higher officials, who were against the coup per se, was the events that was taking place in the Parliament. There was a deadlock in the parliament for a few days. The deadlock was about the presidency, and who has the right to be next. The ruling party broke into their expected rival camps. One camp advocated the prime minister would be the next president. Another wanted the speaker of the parliament, who was already an interim president, and the third wanted the next president should hail from C/rashiid's constituency (read: from marxuum's qabiil). The third group led by Muuse Boqor, who openly didn't hide his ambition to be a president, and to get that he advocated a constituency reasoning as a way to achieve that. It was so heated that a famous member of parliament, alleged to have been abukaato Ismaaciil Jimcaale, was heard as saying to Muuse Boqor, "If you think the presidency of Soomaali Republic is inherited like a clan leader, then we should call for his offspring for C/rashiid had children the last time we knew." Once again seeing that, some top ranking generals and colonels of the military approached their top ranking police officers to collaborate a planned afgambi. They thought they had a secret agreement. However, instantly, the American ambassador to Soomaaliya somehow acquired that knowledge and came to the interim president, warning him the apparent coup. The interim president seeing upon the fiery, deadlocked parliament, had conflicting thoughts. On one side, he thought a coup at this particular time might be a blessing afterall. And on another side, it was undemocratic and might turn to be worse. Nevertheless, he didn't believe or take seriously the American ambassador's forewarning. Well, it happened. And suddenly adversaries of parliament members saw themselves la kala diro, some facing house arrests, and others jailed indefinite jail terms. The men mastermind behind the coup were nationalist men like Caynaanshe, Gabayre, Faadil, Qorsheel, Max'ed Sheekh Cismaan and Muuse Rabiile Good. Some say Max'ed Siyaad Barre, a collaborate of the coup, was immediately chosen as a leader because a safeguard of not dissatifying both sides, who, for example, if they saw men like Qorsheel might have thought he was installed because of qabiil. They didn't want to also displease Muuse Boqor's camp, so Siyaad Barre was the safest choice, and he also happened to be the top military leader since Generaal Daa'uud's passing away.

Great news, runtii. Both my sister and brother-in-law are administrators there. I was there in 2003, when they were building one large campus located outskirts of Xamar. This corridor was only darbi iyo shub taag taagan when I visited on that day. It was also where we were, showing this American guy around, when the guards of constructed building and the guardian staff who came with us collided, with tensions and heated arguments immediately apparent. It was a daymare on that day. How easily some gun-toting maryooleey like to have a little action with no reason. They have no respect to those who hired them and are still supposedly their employers.
