I Know and i heard lots of similar stories but i believe women are only victims ,,, just victims rather than them being blamed.

, actually markaas wuu gaabin lahaa lakiin wuu ordayaa baan ku idhi maanta. Waabad i xasuusisay, i'm invited today. More hilib today

Time is running too fast today ....... damn

Maasha Allah ! ! !

why shall we blame the women only ?? How about those who caused all this chaos to the country ? How about those who brought the foreigners to their land ? How about those who are still protecting them ?? It is normal that in such situations women are the victims ,,, always. Sharafi dhimatay indeed ........

Adeer, you are a secessionist, why do you care, and let me know from your perspective, how is the game over given that both of these men are TFG leaders? That game in Addis is over sxb ,,, there can be other shows but that one is closed and Yey lost it. I do care coz waa waddan aanu jaar nahay dhiig soomaalina aanu wadaagno. That is why Yey doesn't sleep since then trying to open another front at the parliament. He is just trying to keep his face.

Somaliland’s Petroleum Ambitions Make Headway 24 August 2008, Hargeysa, Somaliland - A company of Norwegian oil executives from Asante Oil in Norway began an official 5 day Somaliland visit last Wednesday (20 Aug) after they flew into Hargeysa’s Egal international airport and were met by the Director General of the ministry of Water and Minerals (MW & M), Mr Ahmed Ibrahim Sultan and other ministry officials. Speaking to reporters in airport VIP lounge, Mr Sultan briefly explained that the Norwegian delegation have come to finalise a work program with the ministry and complete outstanding details in the oil exploration agreement which the Norwegians signed last May’08 with the ministry. Asante Oil has been licensed by the ministry to explore and extract natural gas/oil resources in blocks SL13 and SL14. The Norwegian delegation comprised of Mr. Jarand Rystad (delegation head), Mr. Christian Eidem, Mr. Tor B. Lund and Mr. Muhamad I.Hassan, head of Asante Oil office in Somaliland. The head of the Norwegian delegation, Mr. Rystad explained to reporters on Thursday (21 Aug), in a joint press conference held with the MW & M at Maansoor Hotel in Hargeysa, that Asante Oil is on its final leg in preparations to start its drilling operations by 2009, once the acquisition of the seismic data taken by TGS-Nopec is finalised by end of 2008. Asante Oil executives gave a brief description of the company’s history, exploration plans, drilling program and highlighted costs already spent on their S/land acquisition amounting to millions of dollars. The Norwegians said that their exploration agreement with the ministry did not involve any payments of signature bonus fees partly because this was covered by the company which part-funded the TGS-Nopec 2D seismic [offshore/onshore] survey carried throughout S/land during 2007/8. Furthermore, in place of bonus fees, Asante Oil has guaranteed to carry out a social development programmes in connection with the agreement in which Asante Oil will provide one water-borehole rig and it’s maintenance for the people living in SL13/14 regions and at same time provide vocational training in oil industry job related employment for locals. The minister of Somaliland’s MW & M, Mr Qassim Sheekh Yusuf revealed during Thursday’s Maansoor Hotel joint-press conference that the ‘Production Sharing Contract’ agreement made with Asante Oil will go before the council of ministers and the country’s parliament for final approval in the coming months. The only other companies to have been licensed by the MW & M who own oil/gas exploration and extraction acreage in Somaliland are the Perth based Ophir Energy, a subsidiary of South Africa’s mighty conglomerate ‘Mvelaphanda Holdings’ and Britain's Prime Resources Ltd. Along with Asante Oil, Ophir Energy and Prime Resources part-funded too last year’s TGS-Nopec’s 2D seismic survey carried out in Somaliland’s offshore/onshore. Both, companies are expected to begin drilling in 2009, according to MW & M. Moreover, unconfirmed sources close to the ministry in Hargeysa disclosed that Ophir Energy, already, has recruited an Australian drilling ‘project manager’ who’d worked extensively in African oil exploration - to deliver its 2009 seismic and drilling program for its acreage in Somaliland. And said Ophir will probably begin its drilling operations 3-4 months ahead of Asante Oil and Prime Resources start their drilling operations in Somaliland next year. The source, who asked not to be quoted, said Asante Oil, Ophir Energy and Prime Resources will definitely all be conducting their drilling programs by the coming year and much of this depends on how well and smooth the coming presidential elections in March 2009 turn out in Somaliland. Asante Oil is made up of Mr. Christian Eidem, chairman and founder is the Norwegian professional footballer Christian Eidem who owns 11% of the equity, while another football personality, Kjetil Siem, is also an investor in it. Siem is a former sports journalist on Norwegian television who has now become an Internet businessman. He had managed the Norwegian club Valegenra until he moved to South Africa last year, taking up the post of CEO of the local Premier Soccer League (PSL) on a three year contract. Jarand Rystad, is chairman of the board of the Oslo based investment fund Zoncolan SA, owns 17% of the Asante Oil capital. Another Asante Oil shareholder is its founder-shareholder Tor Lund, also a London based Norwegian and former head of Statoil Hydro’s Libyan activity and who has also worked in Angola and the Middle East. However, Asante’s leading shareholder, with 40% of the equity, is the fishing magnate Kjell Inge Rokke, the owner of the Aker conglomerate. Dyslexic and considered useless by his teachers when he was at school, Rokke went to make his fortune in the United States (Seattle) by trading in fish. He subsequently went back to Norway where he now owns a yacht and a private Boeing.[1]

In the developed world, as expressed by President J.F. Kennedy in the sixties, national inspirational slogans go. “Ask not what your country can do for you! Ask what you can do for your country!” But in Somaliland, the inspirational slogan seems to be “Ask not what your clan or sub-clan can do for you! Ask what you can do for your clan or sub-clan!” The following story did not happen in the 1970s when many people, betrayed in the Somali independence and union, left the country en masse. It did not happen in the eighties during the civil war when everyone through tit and tat wanted to score points against others to prove his supremacy or show his muscle to other clans. It did not happen in the nineties when in their reconciliation conferences in Burao, Borama and Hargeisa, Somalilanders in every walk of life wanted to show their indispensability in the process. It did not happen even at the end of the twentieth century when Somaliland was struggling to establish law and order and the scars of the ugly past was still vividly visible everywhere . And it did not happen in 2002 when late president Egal died and everyone was apprehensive of what would follow next but fortunately a few months later, President Rayale was peacefully put in charge with the lowest margin in recent elections history making everyone think that Somaliland had reached a milestone as tribal loyalty was finally put in the coffins there. However, the following story happened in July 2008 showing how much loyal Somalis are to tribalism. Late last July, the Institute of Environment of the United Arab Emirates called for a national conference. And employees from the ministries of higher education, health, Petroleum & Minerals; water & environment, the municipalities of Abu Dhabi and that of Al Ain as well as many other private national and international institutions were invited to participate and contribute. So, as an employee of Abu Dhabi Water Authority, along with many friends from my company, I was invited to participate in that symposium. And with enthusiasm all of us tried to contribute at least by being active participants! The conference was marvelously well-organized. It was educational and in fact many lectures and presentations were given by renowned national and international experts in their respective fields and of course many were rewarded with incentives for their great contributions. Then, of course as usual, at the close of the conference, a dinner party was held and instinctively many Horn of African guys including me selected to share a table. In total we were seven: two from Somaliland: a university instructor lady and I, a water scientist, one medical doctor from Eritrea, one environmental expert from Ethiopia, two natural wildlife habitat consultants from Kenya and one Sudanese who before he introduced himself decided to join the table next to ours. The dinner was lavish; the place was marvelously decorated with national slogans and conference theme excerpts conspicuously engraved everywhere on the walls and the atmosphere was supper… that is in short, everything seemed unbelievably impressive! After each and everyone in our table introduced him/her self, the Somaliland university lecturer lady who was sitting next to me, out of nowhere asked me: “qolamaad tahay” or what tribe are you? Of course caught off guard and embarrassed, but maintaining my composure, I whispered to her and said “sister I am from clan X and sub-clan X2” intentionally misleading her because I knew she was from clan X and sub-clan X2! …. But remember in Somali tribalism, that X keeps splitting until it reaches the lowest which is the family. However, I was ashamed to go that low because the topic of discussion at hand was set to be Regional…Horn of Africa and educational! And suddenly, probably felt assured and comfortable, with a big sigh, she said: “Thanks to Allah! It is too great! It is unbelievable! As clan X and especially sub-clan X2, we are blessed with the best nasab (lineage purity or originality)! I do not know what we did for Him (Allah), but He is kind to us because without sweating for it, He (Allah) gave us the best gift and honor one could ever get! What did we do to deserve that? ….nothing! He is just kind to us and we are not even grateful to Him! But we should have been. And we should have taught our children who we are! We should have told them the blessings we enjoy…. Good thing, at least I am grateful to Him (Allah) and you should be…..Aren’t you?” she asked! …. And just to respect her I said: “yes I am! But does that mean our other sub-clans of X such as: X1, X3, X4 etc. or other clans like: W, Y, Z, etc. in Somaliland are inferior to us?”. Suddenly, that lady who must have been smart immediately suspected some thing was not right, so she said: “walaal or brother! They are! I love everyone, all Somaliland people are really great!” and finally she raised her voice and said: “brothers I am really sorry, I forgot I had another assignment at my job; and I am already late, so I must go; please forgive me and enjoy your dinner!” Then, she left! Ironically, that lady was not even born in Somaliland. She was born and raised in the United Arab Emirates and had visited Somaliland only a few times in her life as I happened to know later! This is typical of who Somalis are. And this is typically how much intoxicated Somalis are with tribalism and that false worthless self-esteem they enjoy and may be die for it! But sorry, the world community is only baffled because it can hardly understand the riddles involved! In another similar story, back in 1992, America went to Somalia to intervene in the ugly civil war that was ravaging the country. And at time I was living in Dallas, Texas with my family and many other friends and their families. At that time, in America in general and in that huge city of 3 millions in particular, the Americans were interested to help poor Somalia. So, the American media and the public were mobilized and reporters of most TV channels came to our homes on daily basis. So, one day, an international reporter of a highly prominent newspaper in Dallas invited two Somali guys who by chance happened to be from the same clan for an interview. He also called a TV channel to record it and show it in the evening news. But out of nowhere came another Somali guy and of course as a Somali he was also welcomed to participate. Then in the interview, the reporter asked one of the first two guys the following question: “Now that America went to Somalia, what do you think it should do to stop the war and let food reach to those dying children and families?” But the guy who came late took over to answer the question and said: “These guys are a minority and cannot answer on our behalf? They have no right to answer this question!” And then, the reporter said: “I don’t think you are answering my question! So, I am giving it to one of the other guys to answer; please hang on!” Unfortunately, he did not; but started shouting threatening the other guys and calling names. He even physically challenged them but was restrained to avoid problems! Naturally the others reacted but maintained their composure. Then finally, a police officer came and took him out of the room and threatened to prosecute him; luckily he did not! Strangely, other Somalis from the tribe of that guy accused the other two interviewees responsible for creating “criminal records” for their friend because according to them, had they not come to the newspaper editor for interview, the whole episode would never take place. Ironically, that guy too was an educated person. He was in fact a graduate from one of the American universities in the US. Additionally, he was neither born nor raised in Somaliland. In fact, he was born and raised in East Africa! In conclusion, my dear readers, I know my short stories may sound artificial but believe it or not they are real and took place as reported and in the times mentioned. Sadly, these two stories represent only a tinny fraction of the tribalism created and propagated nightmares that devastate poor Somalis everywhere on daily basis. And alas, it is the so-called intellectuals who nurture it by directly or indirectly supporting their pseudo leaders who thrive at the expense of the public! Good thing, at least in Somaliland, the public does not support any demagogue any more because people are sick and tired of being told lies and their whole lives hijacked! By Noah Arre
