I am profoundly disappointed with the whole UN involvement in Somalia and wonder whether its [humanitarian] activities in our country are in line with its stated objectives. My people in Sool, Sanaag, and Ayn regions share these feelings and views with me. I alway believed that the core value and mission of the United Nations is respect for all humans, principle of impartiality, fairness, neutrality, and independence from undue influence of any party. It was always my firm conviction that the UN has special responsibility for ensuring the protection and assistance of vulnerable civilian populations in time of war and other major calamities which are imposed on them and are not of their own making. My long-held view about this world body is now shattered by the reality on the ground, the reality happening now to my people and to my land. My people are being killed, maimed, and imprisoned by the clan-based entity in Hargeisa. My people are being driven from their homes and their land; my people are being displaced from major population centers in which they lived including Buhodle, Lasanod, Widhwidh, Balli-Hara. The latest assault by SNM occurried in Buhodle, widhiwdh, and Balli-hara during May 21-23. In the this latest incident Hargeisa entity militias killed over 50 people including women, children, and older people.Over 150 people were wounded, properties destroyed and pillaged. These attacks have created a humanitarian disaster. The UN and its many agencies has miserably failed to undertake its mandate to intervene and stop the naked aggression being committed by the clan-driven, so-called Somaliland enclave against the peaceful people in Sool, Sanaag, and Ayn regions. No humanitarian relief has so far reached those affected areas. The UN has failed to assist those affected civilians who are in dire need for medicine, food, shelter, and other necessities. Heavy rains have also complicated the situation. Long before this tragedy occurred we issued many warning and calls to the UN for action to prevent it only to fell on deaf ears; the UN had blatantly ignored the unfolding tragedy; And now this. Therefore, on half of my people, I call the whole world to stop this slaughter of my people by the so-called Somaliland perpetrators. I call the UN to condemn this heinous atrocity being committed by the SNM militia against my innocent people. I also call for urgent humanitarian assistance for the the wounded and the displaced people of Buhodle, Widhwidh, Bali-hara, and the other places affected by this destruction.

Al-Shabaab Send Suicide Bombers to Somaliland

I'm still waiting for an official statement from the Garaads adeer ....... remember how many statements they made against Somaliland ??? ,,, Car Ethiopia ha ka hadlaan waa kuwaase ,,,,

Now what exactly happened and why? I can only tell you what happened here. Coz of the expected elections in Ethiopia (that is over now) for other unknown reasons Ethiopia brought its military to Buuhoodle which lies at the border. They closed the border, crossed to the Somali side and collected all the trucks and took them to their base. One thing i know is that Ethiopia always believe ONLF figures use Buuhoodle as their main access to Ethiopia. In a previous reports (one or two years ago) it indicated some weapons were coming from Bosaso and crossing to Ethiopia from Buuhoodle. But why Ethiopia take such step NOW is the main question that i cannot answer here but one thing i know is related to the Ethiopian elections which they normally close all the borders. Was it a coordinated attack by the SL and Ethiopian armies to crush and destroy any dissenting voices in that region? I don't think so. Of course Somaliland was concerned about the clan militias in the area and this Khusuusi thing. Ethiopia in the other side is always concerned about the ONLF using that area to bring reinforcements and military equipments. Both countries (Somaliland & Ethiopia) are worried of Alshabaab taking the chance to create basis in those areas. To what end and why is Ethiopia helping SL in something that may upset its other client (PL)? I believe Somaliland here was only taking the chance to stretch its control to more areas while things are heated up in Boohoodle but not a direct coordination with Ethiopia. Was it a reaction by the people of Buhoodle to the heavy-handed treatment of the Ethiopians on that side of the border? Did a scuffle escalate into a fight? It was not the whole people who attacked the Ethiopians in Buuhoodle. Some of the militias who believed Ethiopia is here to help Somaliland started the attack on the Ethiopian base and that is how it started. The Ethiopians on the other side attacked the town and as usual were taking revenge against the people. If the leaders of those militias were wise enough they wouldn't start attacking Ethiopia to open a new front there ... they would start negotiating just like they are doing right now so that they will have only one front with Somaliland. Was it something that the SSC leaders instigated in order to fulfil the promises they have been making all along? In other words, has the resistance finally shot its first xabashi? I don't think even the SSCCCCC leaders have decided this sxb. It was done by some armed militias without any permission from their "supposedly" leaders. who ordered the attack on the Ethiopians is the one-million-dollar question here. Was it a Riyaale inspired plan to cause unrest and disrupt the upcoming elections in SL? Not at all. Rayaale do not control Ethiopia and I don't think he controls the SSSCCC thing either. We all know who started this fire this time. Let's not give Rayaale the credit of controlling the whole Horn of Africa Now ,,,

Blame 4.5 formula .............

The most interesting thing about traveling in Somaliland is that you get to see a country in the process of creating itself. When it achieved independence from the rest of Somalia in 1991, there wasn't much to work with. The capital had been destroyed, a large number of people were homeless and without work, and the country wasn't recognized by the outside world. Recognition still hasn't come, but Somalilanders are slowly building their nation. Buildings are going up everywhere, thanks to the investment from local Somalis and expats. This second group is important. In the Seventies and Eighties many educated Somalis fled dictatorship and civil war to other parts of the world. Some did very well for themselves, and when Somaliland stabilized they saw an opportunity for investment. One modest example is a Somali man I met who works as a crane operator in Germany. He makes a good salary, but is far from rich by European standards. Yet in Somaliland he's able to own a beachside home in Berbera and recently bought property in Hargeisa that he's planning to build on. This, of course, will bring another contract to one of the local construction companies and more work for its employees. Further up the economic ladder is Hassan Ahmed Hussein, owner of the Hadhwanaag Hotel and Restaurant in Hargeisa. He lived for many years in Virginia before moving back two years ago. Hassan's hotel mostly serves Somalis although he's interested in expanding into the developing tourist trade as well. The main draw of his place is the restaurant, which quickly became a favorite local hangout. The goat and camel meat his chefs cook for three hours in a clay oven is simply the best meal you'll eat in Somaliland, and judging from the number of Somalis who show up for lunch and dinner this isn't just an outsider's opinion. The hotel part of his operation is good value too, with little bungalows surrounding a pleasant garden. One of Somaliland's most successful businessmen is Abdirashid Duale, CEO of Dahabshiil, a major money transfer company with headquarters in the UK, Dubai, and Somaliland. Since remittances from foreign workers are a major source of hard currency in this part of the world, money transfer is big business. Unlike many Somalis I met, Abdirashid thinks Somaliland's unrecognized status has a positive side. "I do believe a lot of things can be done without recognition, look at Taiwan," he says. "The focus on the private sector will have long-term benefits. We want people to be self-sufficient. Without so many NGOs coming in with their own ideas and their own agendas, we have to do things ourselves." Somalis are doing more than just opening businesses, they're fixing social problems as well. Dahabshiil donates a lot of money to hospitals and universities, and individuals have set up their own NGOs since most foreign ones won't come to Somaliland. Any foreigner visiting Somaliland will be invited to see several. The Hargeisa Rehabilitation Centre helps people with physical disabilities. There's an orthopedic workshop that makes artificial legs, wheelchairs, and crutches. It's so productive, in fact, that it exports to Somalis living in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Puntland, and Somalia. Doctors offer physiotherapy to patients for as little as $2 a month, and many come from the war-torn regions of Somalia to be treated. Dr. Abdullah, the head of pediatrics, told me they have anywhere from 15 to 25 child patients at any one time, mostly suffering from cerebral palsy, clubfoot, malnutrition, and injuries. He and his small staff work long hours with limited, antiquated equipment. Because Somaliland isn't recognized, it's hard to attract foreign aid or foreign volunteers. It's also difficult for him and his fellow doctors to get visas to go to medical conventions abroad. Despite these troubles the center is a pleasant place, with a quiet garden and a dedicated staff doing the best they can. Another homemade project is the Gandi Public Library, named after a former minister of education and founded by his son in 1999. Housed in a small building next to the empty shell of the central post office (Somaliland has no postal service since it's not recognized by the Universal Postal Union), it's the only public library in the country. While local residents eagerly read the small collection of books, there are no new ones coming in. The library hasn't received a donation in ten years. The biggest demand is for textbooks on medicine, economics, community development, law, and other practical subjects. Not far away is the Sancaani Technical Institute, which offers free training 700 students in computer science, electronics, journalism, and media. Founded in 2002, it helps disabled people, the disadvantaged, and those from non-***** clans. The ***** are the largest clan in Somaliland and many people complain that members of minority clans don't have equal opportunities. When I visited, one class was learning how to use Microsoft Access, while another practiced fixing mobile phones. Noor Mohammed, an IT lecturer, told me there's a huge waiting list for the free classes and not nearly enough funding to take all applicants. "We can change the lives of thousands of the poor, but right now we are working at the limits of our capability. The children here, their interest level is very high," he says. "We have just 16 computers and 200 students waiting to use them." While I only made brief visits to other towns, I got the impression, confirmed by several Somalis I spoke with, that the vast majority of investment and development is in the capital. The government still hasn't fully asserted its authority in all areas of Somaliland and this is slowing the rush of investment. The port at Berbera, for example, needs improvement. A company from Dubai is discussing leasing the port and this might help improve the city in the next few years. It's hard to predict where Somaliland is heading. Development will continue, and as infrastructure improves the economy will too, fueling more investment. It's an exciting time for this portion of the Horn of Africa, and it's exciting for a traveler to be able to witness it. by Sean McLachlan

Dadka Buuhoodle iyo ciidamada Ethiopia oo is faadhsanaya hubkii ay iska qabsadeen Buuhoodle: (Sh.M.Network) Ciidamadii deegaanka ee degmada Buuhoodle iyo kuwii Ethiopianka ee dhawaan halkaasi ku dagaalamay ayaa wada wadahadalo ay isku dhaafsanayeen hubkii ay isaga kala qabsadeen dagaalkii maalmo ka hor ka dhacay degmadaasi. Iyadoo maalmo ka hor ay aheyd markii dagaalo u dhaxeeya Ciidamada Ethiopianka iyo dadka deegaanka ay ka dhaceen degmada Buuhoodle ee gobolka Togdheer ayaa hadana waxaa soconaya wadahadalo u dhaxeeya labada dhinac ee halkaasi ku dagaalamay taasi oo la doonayo in ay ku kala wareegsadaan hub iyo gaadiid ay kala qabsadeen intii uu soconayay dagaalka. Ciidamada Ethiopianka oo iyagu halkaasi isaga baxay kadib markii dagaalo dadka deegaanka ay la galeen ayaa dib ugu soo laabtay markii gurmadyo ay haleen, waxaana durbadiiba halkaasi ka bilowday wada hadalo u dhaxeeya Waxgaradka deegaanka iyo Ciidamada Ethiopianka, waxaana wararka laga helayo wada hadaladaasi ay sheegayaan in Ciidamada Ethiopianka ay dalbadeen in lagu soo wareejiyo hubkii laga furtay, Ciidamo ka geeryooday iyo kuwa laga qabqabtay sida Idaacada Shabelle uu u sheegay C/raxmaan Cumar Cabdi oo ah Wariye ku sugan degmada Boohoodle ee gobolka Togdheer. Waxa uu intaasi ku daray Wariyahaasi ku sugan degmada Boohoodle in iminka degmadaasi laga dareemayo xiisado colaadeed oo u dhaxeeya Ciidamada Ethiopianka iyo dadka deegaanka, waxaana uu sheegay in magaalada gudaheeda lagu arkayo dadka deegaanka oo ah kuwa hubaysan. Wadahadalan u soconaya Ciidamada Ethiopianka iyo dadka deegaanka ee ku dhaqan degmada Buuhoodle ee gobolka Togdheer ayaa waxa ay imaanayaan xilli maalinimadii daraad ay isweydaarsadeen Ciidamo labada dhinac ay iska kala qabsadeen intii ay dagaaladasi socdeen.
