Thanks for the report. I will read it within the coming days Insha Allah. There is no political gain here (cheap or expensive), you don't have to go that far to think i'm against this. This project is the good of the ALL Somalis in the region. I must say the main threat to the region is the issue of SL and Somalia (PL),, that is what make the people divide into two groups. The Makhir concept was good and would work just fine but looks like it has been under the table as of late.

gabar timaha tidcanoo qeydku ka dhacayo oo habeeda geela leh koklaasna aad ciirta isla dhantaan That is the kind of the Somali romantic i'm talking about .............. Waaryaa nuune, nacnac qoriga hablahaa cunee iska ilaali ,,

Kenya says Somali government has failed APA-Nairobi (Kenya) Kenya Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetangula on Monday expressed fears that Somali's transitional federal government (TFG) has failed to make significant progress in achieving goals spelt out in charter that established it five years ago. Wetangula expressed his fears to Somalis President Abdullahi Yusuf who is in the country to attend the extraordinary summit of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) scheduled to start on Tuesday in Nairobi. The summit brings together various political parties of Somalia to discuss the political affairs of the country. The TFC charter is the principle organizing document of the Somali Republic, written and approved in February 2004 in Nairobi. Wetangula said that with only 9 months left before the expiry of the charter Somalia has not been able to come up with a new constitution within five years as spelt out in the charter. He said Somalia has not been able to conduct a national population census and come up with legislation that will legalize political parties in the war-torn country. He said the IGAD meeting will prove a good chance for IGAD countries to provide an audit of the performance of TFG for the past four years. Presidents Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, Mwai Kibaki of Kenya and Ethiopian Prime Minister Melles Zenawi are expected to attend the meeting. IGAD member countries are Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

Just fiiri within the course of the day ,,, all the websites will write about this.

Don't go over the moon Serenity, they just say what they want and later on change to another direction without even appology. Remember Saddam Hussein and his Mass Destruction weapons ?? ,, like everybody was sure about it but nothing until now ....

Not that they will say clearly there is a security issue but you know how they mingle and make other excuses most of the time. Coz not to anger the locals they don't about this kind of security issues where there is a relative peace but the situation can turn into something else anytime. I still believe there are some other concerns rather then securing funds and time delays which can be extended within the donor's timeframe. when the city of Lasqoray can witness clashed between Somaliland and Somalia's putland as some movements were seen in the past few months then that should be the main issue that can halt any bigger development projects like this one.

nuune, I think the Ethiopians will stone them ,,,,

looooooooooool ,,, why nervous bal ?? what is the NGOs involvement in SOL bal ??

The US has banned arms sales to Eritrea in retaliation against its alleged support of Somali insurgents whom the Bush Administration regards as terrorists. In so doing, the US has gone as far as it needed to go in linking Eritrea to global terrorism without formally placing it in its dreaded list of terror sponsoring states. Or has it? Washington's Oct 6 arms ban announcement followed repeated threats over the past two years to declare Eritrea as a 'state sponsor of terrorism'. Blacklisting Eritrea appeared a likely outcome particularly after the US decided in April to designate Somalia's Al-Shabab a terrorist organization. Eritrea's alleged link to the group is sufficient grounds for designation as stipulated in US anti-terrorism rules and regulations. Under these same rules, the US has listed Syria, Iran, Sudan and Cuba as terror sponsoring states accusing them of providing "safe haven, substantial resources, and guidance to terrorist organizations," The State Department says Eritrea is harboring members of Al Shabab's political leadership operating from exile in Eritrea. They include former Islamic Court leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys whom the UN Security Council has designated a terrorist with alleged ties to Al Quada. US officials have accused Eritrea of funneling funds and weapons including anti-aircraft missiles and suicide vests to the Somali insurgents bogged down in a bloody confrontation with the Somali Transitional Government backed by Ethiopian troops. UN and US reports also claim that some Moslem countries have been channeling money and weapons to the insurgents via Eritrea. Eritrea denies these charges. US ban of arms sales will have no direct impact on Eritrea's armament needs. But by linking the ban to terrorism, the US seems determined to further isolate Eritrea in the Horn of Africa. The good news is Eritrea has not landed on the blacklist which would have amounted to a death penalty on Eritrea's relations with the US. Although bilateral, such a move would also have damaged Eritrea's relations with other countries especially US allies and friends around the world. Added to this would have been more sanctions including curbs on financial transactions between US citizens and Eritrea coupled with imposition of travel restrictions on Eritrean officials. How did Eritrea lose US Goodwill? The root cause is, of course, the existing animosity and rivalry between Eritrea and Ethiopia emanating from unpredictable and uncontrollable outcome of a bitter and devastating war a decade ago, which has badly incapacitated the two sides to demarcate their border and normalize relations. Both sides are trying to find a meaning to their senseless and tragic losses at the expense of each other's interests and expectations. Eritrea blames the US for not pressuring Ethiopia to demarcate the border in accordance with a legally binding UN finding. This is a fair proposition but, doubtless, unrealistic. Is it possible for the US to persuade or force Ethiopia to come to terms with Eritrea's position given the long history of bloodshed between the two peoples? History shows the US has not been good at bringing feuding neighbors or divided peoples together. One only needs to look at US involvement in Vietnam, the Middle East and Southern Africa during the Cold War. For a change, Eritrea should try what it does not like doing: it should try if diplomacy would serve its interests. With the help of a mutually trusted mediator, Eritrea and Ethiopia should start working on normalization of their neighborly relations and incrementally begin to resolve differences and issues including demarcation, economic cooperation and trade. Normalization before demarcation is unpopular in Eritrea. And demarcation before normalization is unacceptable in Ethiopia. The word is compromise - splitting the differences! As far as Somalia is concerned, the best way to help that country would be for Eritrea to put a meaningful pressure on the Asmara-based Islamic Courts to sit down with all political groups and tribal factions and find a fair and just political way out to that nation's predicament. Eritrea's attempts to undermine US security interests by allegedly supporting violent opposition groups in the Horn of Africa have not changed any minds to the advantage of Eritrea. Spending money and energy in opposing a super power is a very expensive enterprise which only hurts Eritrea. The fact that the US has not placed Eritrea in its terrorism list and that the scope of the new sanctions is limited to arms sales means there is a chance for mending ties between the two at least in the long term. Eritrea cannot change Washington's inadequate and highly politicized antiterrorism dogma by behaving like a 'rogue state.' The best way to challenge American foreign policy is by building a strong and prosperous Eritrean society where there is freedom, justice, rule of law and respect for human rights.

The idea is not about the Donor funds or the ownership part for me, it is more related to the prospective and the security-related issues. If everybody is not sure where his/her money is going and what is happening after then no one will be ready to risk such huge amount of money. That is why the donors fund less in some areas they think the development is not the priority concerning the situation in that area. Even the private ownership would be the same even for those who hail from the city itself. Politics always play a major role in such issues and that is why this is happening right now.

REJECTION REJECTION REJECTION ! ! ! How long will they continue rejecting bal ?? ,, No solutions rather than a bloodshed ??? Now i can see those Islamists are falling apart and continue fractionating .........

the first such public killing by the militants for about two years.

It will improve Insha Allah ,,,

HARGEISA, SOMALILAND, 27 October 2008 (IRIN) - In September, Sophie (not her real name) fled fighting in Mogadishu to seek shelter in a camp in Hargeisa, capital of the self-declared republic of Somaliland. Hargeisa, 1,500km north of Mogadishu, is home to thousands of displaced people from south-central Somalia. Sophie, 27, came to the city with her husband and three children, aged between 18 months and eight years, but her 10-year-old son was lost on the journey. She and other IDP women were robbed and raped. She spoke about her plight to IRIN on 21 October: "We used to live in Manapolio [north Mogadishu]. The area suffered occasional bombardment but it was not as bad as most places in Mogadishu. In the past two to three months, things took a turn for the worse. We were becoming a battleground. It seemed there was not a day without fighting. "We had a shop which was run by my husband and I had a stall in the market. We were not rich but we had enough to feed our family. "The area got to the point where no one was safe and looting and rape became normal. Many houses were destroyed. One night, our neighbour's house was totally destroyed and no one survived. In the blink of an eye the entire family was dead. "Our house was partially destroyed but we escaped unhurt. That morning we decided to leave with other families and take our children to some place safe. "We had heard that many people were going north and had found peace and security there, so we also decided to go there. "The journey was long; it took more than nine days. I lost my boy and we were robbed of everything we had. "The second time they [bandits] took us away from the main road and into the bush. They told the men to lie down and then took the women they thought looked good and young and raped us; five other women and myself. "Our husbands heard our cries but could do nothing. They were being held at gunpoint. It was the only time I wished I had never left Mogadishu. "By the time we reached Hargeisa we had nothing. The people here [in Hargeisa] have been very kind. In the camp the residents let us share their dwellings. "Since the incident [rape] my husband has not been the same. I am still searching for my boy and hope to find him. It is very hard but what can I do? I have to continue for the sake of the other children. It is the only thing that is keeping me going and makes me forget, at least for a while, what I went through. "In Hargeisa I am not worried about bombs and killings and someone coming into my house to hurt me or my family. We have peace and security - something we did not have in Mogadishu. I thank God for that despite all my problems."

The Somaliland survey was an independent one sxb ... I was involved markaa iska yara naso ,,

KISMAYU, Somalia, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Somali Islamists have stoned to death a woman accused of adultery in the first such public killing by the militants for about two years. The 23-year-old woman was executed late on Monday in front of hundreds of people in the southern port of Kismayu, which the Islamist insurgents captured in August, witnesses said. Guards opened fire when a relative ran forward, killing a child, they said. "A woman in green veil and black mask was brought in a car as we waited to watch the merciless action of stoning," one local resident, Abdullahi Aden, told Reuters. "We were told she submitted herself to be punished, yet we could see her screaming as she was forcefully bound, legs and hands. A relative of hers ran towards her, but the Islamists opened fire and killed a child." The Islamists last carried out public executions when they ruled Mogadishu and most of south Somalia for half of 2006. Allied Ethiopian and Somali government forces toppled them at the end of that year, but they have waged an Iraq-style guerrilla campaign since then, gradually taking territory back.

Id!ots in the office are just as hazardous to your health as cigarettes, caffeine or greasy food, an eye-opening new study reveals. in fact, those dpes can kill you ! Stress is one of the top causes of heart attacks - and working with Stup!d people on a daily basis is one of the deadliest forms of stress, according to researchers at Sweden's Lindbergh University Medical Centre. The author of the study, Dr. Dagmar Anderson says her team studied 500 heart attack patients, and were puzzled to find 62% had relatively few of the physical risk factors commonly blamed for heart attacks. "Then we questioned them about lifestyle habits, and almost all of these low-risk patients told us they worked with people so Stup!id they can barely find their way from the parking lot to their office. And their heart attack came less than 12 hours after having a major confrontation with one of these oafs. "One woman had to be rushed to the hospital after her assistant shredded important company tax documents instead of copying them. A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid for her computer monitor. "You can cut back on smoking or improve your diet" said Dr. Anderson "but most people have very poor coping skills when it comes to stup!dity - they feel there is nothing they can do about it, so the just internalize their frustration until they finally explode". Stup!d coworkers can also double or triple someone's work load, she explains "Many of our subjects feel sorry for the drooling !d!ots they work with, so they try to cover for them by fixing their mistakes. One poor woman spent a week rebuilding client records because a clerk put them all in the recycle bin of her computer and then emptied it - she thought it meant the records would be recycled and used again".
