Not now ...

Good that the infrastructure is back to operate .... not it is time to properly manage the taxes.

In the Long Run the US may be making an Error by not increasing contacts with Hargeysa. On this note the Obama Administration deserves some praise. Unlike Previous Administrations they have been talking to Somaliland.

The Problems plaguing Somalia show no sign of abating in the near future. It seems that every other day there has been a Bomb Explosion in Mogadishu killing dozens of people or requests made by the Transitional Government for Assistance have been falling on Deaf Ears. Is there any hope for the Horn of Africa? For Almost 20 years Somalia has been in a State of Anarchy. Two Previous Attempts by the United Nations to restore a functioning Government have failed and currently a third attempt is not promising. Piracy has been a Major Concern amongst the International Community as the Gulf of Aden is a Chokepoint amongst the Shipping Lanes of the World. Islamic Militants who have been linked to both Al-Qaida and Eritrea have been battling Government Forces in and around the Capital Mogadishu. And in recent day days in a High Profile Incident 4 thieves suffered Cross Amputation for their Crimes. As a result of the latest fighting 250 people have reportedly been killed and 170,000 have been displaced. The US Government has seen fit to send 10 tons of Arms to support the Somali Government. The Crisis in Somalia seems to be getting worse In the near future a Conference will be held in Washington, DC regarding the Future of Somalia. What is interesting is for the First Time Somaliland will be asked to attend. However they will not attend due to the fact that they have been invited as a Province of Somalia not as an Independent State which they claim to be. In another Interesting Fact Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti were not invited to take part in the Washington Conference. For Several Years now the Somaliland Region has been attempting to have the Independent Community state that they are a Country. In 1998 the Somali Government tried to prevent the region from seceding by Force but was unsuccessful. After a Meeting with US Officals at the Embassy in Nairobi the Somaliland leadership decided not to attend because their concerns would not be on the Agenda. That is a Legitimate Concern. The Leaders in Hargeysa don't want to be lumped into a Solution that may end up being a detriment to Somaliland. After all the Region will be announcing which companies were able to purchase Gas and Oil Exploration contracts this fall. The region does not have a problem with Piracy either. In the Long Run the US may be making an Error by not increasing contacts with Hargeysa. On this note the Obama Administration deserves some praise. Unlike Previous Administrations they have been talking to Somaliland.

Somaliland scored 4.5 in the numerical index rating, with 1 representing the most respect and 7 the least respect; ranked the Somaliland as the 144th world’s political and civil rights respecting country out of 208 countries (193 recognized and 15 yet to be recognized countries); which further indicated that Somaliland has more political rights and civil liberties, than 64 countries, including China, Russia, Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia according to the Washington based Freedom House Organization’s 2007. Somaliland peace-making and democratization, and the relatively peaceful neighboring Puntland State of Somalia are enough to approve of the hypothesis of that building peace through people not for the people is more successful than parachuting Somali government established in Nairobi, Impeghatti, Djibouti, Arta, Cairo, Sana, etc. Thanks to traditional elders, the homegrown efforts not only manage the peace and security in Somaliland but also the judicial functions as a prevention measure. According to the Hargeisa based Research and Training Center (RTC), 65% of Somaliland settlements rely on community elders in their peace, security and justice management. In addition, two third of the cases reached at the prosecution offices withdrawn their cases to civil mediation; which accumulates the traditional elders’ peace, security, and justice management burden to 77.5%. Unexpectedly, the supposed appreciation and reward from other Somalis and the international community to the Somaliland is yet to be materialized. Instead, all the fifteen international community’s Somali reconciliation attempts and the self-pro-claimed Somali efforts of setting Somali governments, including internationally unrecognized late General Aideed’s government, the Union of Islamic Courts defeated by the Ethiopian Military intervention with the US logistic support, and the Al-shabab Al-Mujahedeen Islamist Movement, which currently controlled most of Southern Somalia emphasized to establish a Mogadishu based (suppose to be based) Somali governments; as if Somalia is in Mogadishu; while Mogadishu is in Somalia. “Contrary to the western belief, Somaliland ’s successful multi-party elections have proved that the African tradition, Islamic faith and modern democracy are compatible“ Al-shabab Al-Mujahedeen publically declare that they masterminded the three suicidal explosions in Hargeisa on October, 2008 as retributive action against the pro-western and pro-Ethiopian Somaliland is schemer to revenge from the extradition of Anti-Ethiopia ONLF members or supporters from Somaliland to Ethiopia , since Ethiopia is common enemy for ONLF and Al-shabab. Contrary to the expectation, the international community graded Somaliland down to UN Security Level Four, which could discourage development and investment. In the gatherings, Somalilanders asked questions to each other- whether such security downgrading decision is rewarding to Al-shabab, and inviting to carry our more attacks or not? On September 11, 2001; three planes were crashed into buildings in New York, just couple of yards away from the United Nations headquarter, and no one down graded the USA security level; why Somaliland? This will be a witness for Islamist hardliner’s claim of that the Western World is not looking a democracy but they are using as proxy hand to intervene other’s affairs. The currently widespread legitimate debate among Somalilanders is- ‘what did they benefited from supporting the Western World in the war against the international terrorist’, Djibouti in the war against Eritrea, Ethiopia in the war against ONLF, and the Red Sea facing countries in the war against the sea pirate. The homegrown Somaliland peace and democracy needs to be rewarded, at least by offering temporary recognition to both Somaliland and Somalia with condition of attending negotiation to agree, either as two separate states or into one Somalia within that period, as a carrot and stick policy. Any other attempt is unproductive, if not counterproductive, and could create a conducive environment for Al-shabab Al-Mujahedeen’s potential conquer of all Somali territories, including Djibouti, and the Somali regions of Ethiopia and Kenya. Somaliland the home of 3.5 million persons, one third of the population of the collapsed Somalia , is a former British colony in the Horn of Africa that merged in 1960 with the Italian colony of Somalia to form the independent republic of Somalia . When Somalia disintegrated into fiefdoms controlled by iron-fisted warlords in the early 1990s, Somaliland broke away and set up its own administrational institutions, including executive, legislative and judicial bodies, and currency. Somalilanders tried to build a new state through shirweyne (conference in Somali) under the acacia trees that people in this country can understand and identify with, instead of the extravagance five-star hotels in the neighboring or concerned African and Arab cities, where many failing reconciliations held. In this basically classless society, the right to choose one’s leaders freely and hold them accountable was practiced for centuries or perhaps for millenniums. The traditional elders controlled political system took the major decisions by consensus and selected government leaders through an electoral college consisting members representing clans during the decade of 1991-2000. Since then, the challenge has been how to transfer the clan-based system to a modern democratic system. Opportunely, a gradual democratization process took place, where 2001 constitutional referendum, municipal elections, presidential, and House of Representatives election where held in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005, respectively; and the second term presidential and municipal elections are planned September and December 2009, respectively. Seventy-six International observers from 15 countries including South Africa , Britain, Canada , New Zealand , the United States , Zimbabwe , Sweden , Finland and other EU members reported in their overall assessment that besides lack of enough resources and higher illiteracy of the voters, free and fair elections have been conducted in Somaliland .

You have nothing here Che, just waving an empty flag doesn't make you make sense at all. Clean your house first and we will be ready to talk ,,,,,, Now the game is between Somaliland and the United States of America ,,, you should sit tight and watch the interesting game there.

Originally posted by Oodweyne: Hello Folks , Here is the “little inconvenient truth” that many of you are forever determined to over-look in your ever haste to “condemn” Somaliland. And, that is this “briefing” has been in the works for a while. Furthermore, others, namely some folks who are around Dr. Ted Dagne ( the main force behind this effort ) who mostly are “who-is-who” of the yesterday’s “defeated lot elites” of Somalia, particularly, the Gen. Afweyne’s retired diplomatic officials in Virginia has been cooking up a close relationship with the said Dr. T. Dagne , in turn. And although this Dr. Ted Dagne is from Eretria , but he is also married to a lady from Western Somalia – i.e., “O” – hence, the intention was to organised some kind of a “political trap” for Somaliland through him. Whilst, all along, the said Chairman Payne does not know the “lowly machination” that certain Somalis are up to at his committee’s expense ( through this Dagne chap ), and particularly how they are intending to use the said Dr. Ted Dagne ( who is his congressional assistance for Africa Affairs ) to advanced their “holly-grail” of a policy objective, which is that of making Somaliland as just another “stake-holder” for the troubles in Somalia, in the eyes of US’s Sub-Congressional Committee , particularly in this one that deals with Africa. Hence, whence, we found out the “agenda” behind this “briefing” and whose “political spirit” that the said organising force of that briefing, namely the said Dr. Ted Dagne seemed to be pushing forward; then, we have decided to settled for “no show” , indeed in here, in that briefing. Since, the worse that could happen in here is that the said chairman of that committee would be “crossed” with us, indeed. But, then, all one can say in here, is that the “folks” that really matter in here are men like Mr. Donald Yamamoto , and Mr. Johnnie Carson at the State Department ; and, they, in turn, are well aware of our "real reason" that have forced us to “manoeuvre” in that way, indeed. As for the said Chairman Payne is concern, there is nothing in here, in which a “good lunch” at the Capitol Hall’s various restaurants organised by our foreign minister (i.e., Mr. A. M. Dualeh ) ably assisted as it will be by our Ambassador in the US (i.e., Dr. Sacad Sh. Osman Nuur ), in one fine summer day in July , on behalf of the said gentlemen, so that all “misunderstanding” between us could be smoothed over, along with a decent tete-a-tete between them, could not do, in the end of the day. So, there is nothing in here, folks , for us to be worry about, particularly in that score, indeed... Regards, Oodweyne. Well said Mr. Oodweyne ..... looks like thay're missing the entire game here. I'm glad that it is going into i high level of diplomacy now ....

Qalbi-dhagax, What do you feel when you hear the word "Somaliland" ?? ,,,

Munaasibad Balaadhan oo lagu so oaf-mareeyay Tartan Dhinaca Gabayada ah oo laga soo hir-galiyay 6-da gobol ee dalka, isla-markaana ay ku tartamayeen Suugaanyahanada da’dayar ee Somaliland ayaa caawa lagu qabatay hoolka wayn ee Jaamacada Hargeysa. Tartankan oo uu soo qaban-qaabiyay Ururka Nabada iyo Dimuqraadiyada ee Geeska Afrika, oo fadhigiisu yahay wadaka Finland, hal-ku-dheggasiinu ahaa Tartanka Gabayada Nabadaynta ayaa waxa kaalinta koowaad ee horyaalka Suugaanta Dhalinyarada ku guulaystay gobolka Awdal. Gudoomiye ku-xigeenka 1-aad ee Golaha Wakiilada, Md. Cabdicasiis Samaale oo Munaasibadaasi hadal ka jeediyay ayaa waxa uu ku bilaabay sidan; =“Mustabalka Abwaanadeenu inoo soo ifayo waxa ina dareensiinaysa munaasibadan tartanka gabayada dhalinyarada ah. taasoo muujinaysa inaynu leenahay rag gabayaa ah oo bedeli kara Hadraawi, Gaariye iyo Abwaanada kale ee la midka ahba ” Jaamacada Hargeysa oo iyada marti loogu ahaa Hoolka ay munaasibadani ku qabsoontay ayaa waxa halkaasi hadal baan ah oo uu ku muujinayo sida ay qayb libaax uga qaadato Jaamacada Hargeysa dhisida fanka iyo dhiiri-gelinta suugaanta ee dhalinyarada Gudoomiyaha Jaamacadaas, Dr. Bulxan. “Jaamacada Hargaysa waxa ay u guntatay inay hoy u noqoto dhisitaanka Sugaanka. Waxaanan ku faraxsanahay oo aan soo dhawaynayaa dhalinyarada is abaabushay Gobol kasta ha ka soo jeedaane, waxaan idinku amaanayaa dadaalka aad u hurteen samayntii iyo hal-abuurnimadii Gabayadan aad ku tartamaysan. Sugaantii iyo cilmigii la uruuriyey oo dhan Xamar ayaa loo wareejiyey. Dabadeed waa tii ay dagaaladu halkaas ka dhaceen oo waatii wax kastaaba burbureen. Markii aan Akademiga nabada iyo Horumarinta Somaliland aan Gudoomiyaha ka ahaa, waxaa noo qarsoonayd in aanu waxaas idiin soo celino, isla markaana aanu nabad-gelyada waxii aanu ka qaban karno aanu ka qabano.” Ayuu yidhi Gudoomiyaha Jaamacada Hargeysa. “Ururkan waxaanu aasaasnay 2005-tii, waxaana u qabsoomay intii uu jiray waxyaabo badan, oo waxa uu shaqooyin ka qabtay wadanka dibadiisa. Waxaana nagu kallifay in aanu Ururkan aasaasno, markii aanu wadankaas Finland joognay ayaa waxaa noo muuqatay in aanu ka faa’idayso waxyaabaha salka u ahaa inay wadankooda dejiyaan, oo Finland beryihii hore waxa ay ka mid ahayd meelo ay dagaalo baabiyeen oo aad loogu dhibaatooday, isla markaaana la soo gumaystay. Sida aad la socodtaan Somalidu waxa ay wax isugu gudbiyaan hadalka, isla markaana waxa ay aad aad u qadariyaan Gabayga oo ah shay agtooda qaali uga ah, sidaas ayaanuna ku soo qaban-qaabinay tartanka, waxaana aanu ugu talo-galnay in uu kaalin muhiim ah ka qaato kor-u-qaadista ilaalinta nabad-gelyada” Sidaa waxa ka yidhi Gudoomiyaha Ururka Horumarinta Nabada iyo Dimqraadiyada Geeska, Mr. Maxamed Cirro oo faahfaahin ka bixinayay sababta keentay inay isku hawlaan tartankan nabada lagu cabirayo suugaanta. Waxa kale oo munaasibadaas ka hadlay Abwaan Axmed Aw Geedi oo kaalina ay sugaantu kaga jirto hormarinta iyo dib-u-dhaca nolosha labadaba. Isaga oo arrintaas ka faaloonayana waxa uu yidhi; “Soomaalidu Shayga keliya ee ay maqashaa waa Gabayga, oo Gabaayaagii xilliyadii hore colaado huraya ayay Gabay ku demin jireen oo ay nabad ku keeni jireen. Nabadna Colaad ayay u bedeli jireen oo reero dhan ayay isku dhufan jireen Gabay darteed.” Ayuu yidhi Axmed Aw Geedi, Tartankan oo ay Garsoorayaal ka ahaayeen Suugaanyahano uu ka mid yahay Abwaan Muuse Cali Faruur, Abwaan Maxamed Jaamac Kayd iyo Abwaan Muuse Cabdi Cilmi waxa ku tartamayay Lix wiil oo ka kala socday gobollada Lixda gobol ee wadanka. Kuwaas oo kala ahaa;- Maxamed Cismaan Budul oo ka socday Gobolka Awdal, la shir-yimi tartanka Maanso uu Hal-ku-dheggeedu ahaa Sow Nabadu Gogol Maaha, Maxamed waxa uu noqday Wiilkii galay Kaalinta Koowaad ee Tartanka, guushaasna u hooyay gobolkiisa.

Cabdirisaaq Maxamuud Bile oo ka socday Gobolka Saaxil, oo Maansada Nabad-doon ku tartamay Kaalinta Saddexaadna ku guulaystay. Waxa xusid in Maxamed Jibriil oo ka socday Gobolka Sanaag, kana tiriyay goobtaas Maanso la yidhaahdo Dalku Wuu Camiran yahay, Axmed Cabdilaahi Jaamac oo ka socday gobolka Sool kuna tartamay Maanso la yidhaahdo Guddida Nabada iyo Axmed Cabdi Xirsi oo ka socday gobolka Togdheer oo ka tiriyay Maanso Hogo Tusaale ay guddigii xeer-beegtida Suugaanta ahayd ay tilmaameen inay kuadkaatay sidii ay u kala saari lahaayeen, wanaaga iyo mugga suugaanta ay goobtaas ka tiriyeen darteed.
