  4. It is just a crap believe me ...... they just like to complicate and make it look like it is a very important job and the applicant should be blah blah and blah just to scare those who has minimum experience/education. I don't usually give a rats-azzz and apply even if it is the UN Secretary General's position ,,, hehehe
  5. As the taxi made it's way through the busy market outside the Oriental Hotel, a buselling place with makeshift stalls selling fruit and vegetables, clothes and shoes and pots and pans among many other items. Large stacks ofSomaliland Shillings lay at the side of the road in neat piles. The sellers asleep in the early morning heat. No one attempting to steel it. Mahamed, my driver for the day a large man with a strong sculpted jawline, who reminded me of Jaws from the James Bond films, was taking me from the confines ofHargeisa to a place known as Las Geel, about 50km north east of the city. The closer we neared the edge of Hargeisa the more rundown and sorry the place looked. Crumbling buildings, the rubble now used as a child's play area, with small children in theed bear clothes (some with none on at all) playing among the fallen stone and masonry. The drive to Las Geel was wonderful. The landscape flat with occasional hills pushing up through the scorched ground like mole hills. Hardy trees and bushes scattered across theredded dirt and sand with delicate small leaves and spindly branches. Dry riverbeds meandered through rocky gully's and large sandstone boulders, sculpted by the elements, lay in great piles, as if they'd been placed there by the gods. We hit our first roadblock about 3km outside of Hargiesa. The soldier asked us to step out of the vehicle. "Where is your bodyguard?" the young man asked. I handed him the piece of paper I'd received from the head of police the previous day. He scrutinized the letter for some time. I'd been on a mini mission the day before, trying to find the police headquarters, but unfortunately it was going to be one of those days that I listened to a local for advice rather than using me common sense and trusting my instincts. I'd been on the Lonely Planet forum,Thorntree , that morning and had found someone who'd posted detailed instructions on how to find the police headquarters. I'd asked an old gentleman which way the tourism office was, so I know I was walking down Independence Avenue the correct way. The old man struck up a conversation, asking me where I was from and then reminisced about the time the British had protectorate overSomaliland . A time he told me "was a good one". After our brief chat he pointed in the direction of the tourism office. Another man, who I noticed had stopped to listen in on our conversation, offered to direct me. "Come, come I show you. it's very easy." I obliged to the offer. We headed to the main police station in the centre of Hargiesa. "No, No" I said "I want to go to the police headquarters in the Talis Boolis district. This is just the main police station. They will not be able to help me." "No, no" the man replied "This is where you need to go." Twenty minutes later, and talking with four different people, we were told by the head of the police station, who's meeting we'd interrupted, that this was not where we should be and that we needed to go to the police headquarters at Talis Boolis. "It's lucky I'm with you" Motima exclaimed as we left the police station heading for the bus stop "without me you would never have known where to go." I didn't bother to reply. We jumped on a bus to Talis Boolis district of Hargiesa, which I paid for. We jumped off at the special police division office. "No, we need the police headquarters. This is not the correct building" I once again tried to explain with little impact. "No, no this is where you need. I know best." Again after spending 30 minutes talking with five different sets of people and being told I must go to the tourism office first to obtain a letter, which I explained I didn't need, having been advised that I should avoid the tourism office at all costs because of there bureaucracy, we were once again told that we needed the police headquarters down the road. "You see without me you would have been lost again" Motima explained. I said nothing but wanted to rape a baseball bat around his head if he said it one more time. In large writing, on a metal arch above a set of cabin like buildings said the words 'Somaliland Police Headquarters'. We had finally reached the correct place. Motima spoke to the guard for some time. I expected it most have been about why I was here, so I left them to talk. Drifting into thought of what I would say to the police chief once I met him. "OK, explain what you want" Motima said to me after his 15 minute chat. "Have you not already explained?" I asked. "No, no, you tell him. I'm not really sure why you're here." I explained to the guard, who then asked me to explain again to an old man in a tatty uniform. With that we were escorted to the police chiefs office and made to wait outside. "OK, you may enter now" the male receptionist explained after some time. We entered the room. A large dark wooden desk sat in the middle. A bold man with glasses and a crisp, clean police uniform, with tassels on the shoulders was sitting behind the desk. I imagined he must have been the head of police forSomaliland . Another man sat at this side of the desk, but got up as we entered ushering me to the seat he had been in. I shock both their hands. "OK what can I do for you" the police chief asked in a harsh voice. "I'd like to obtain a letter from you, allowing me permission to travel to Berera, please." I asked. "And why is this? What is you business in Berera?" he asked in reply. "I'm a tourist and I'd like to visit the beaches." I went onto explain. "I see" he said in one of those voices that suggests he doesn't see at all. I felt him scrutinise me with his eyes. "Are you a journalist?" he eventually asked. "No, no. As I said, I'm just a tourist." "Then why do you want to go to Berera. What do you plan to do there?" He asked in the same tone. "I've heard the beaches are amazing and I just want to visit them. Nothing else." "How long will you be there?" "Three, maybe four days" I said. "Ah, well OK then" the tone of this voice changed, more accepting now, as if he had finally believed what I'd told him. We will get a letter for you straight away. "How are you findingSomaliland?" "It's beautiful" I said "very peaceful." I'd quickly learnt that this was the reply people were looking for when they asked this question. It was important to them that they were not tarnished with the same brush as Somalia, I came to the conclusion. "Yes, yes, we are very peaceful indeed" he replied. With my letter in hand, typed in Somali so I wasn't able to read it's exact meaning, but know it gave me permission to travel between Hargiesa and Berera without a bodyguard, we headed back into town. Motima followed me into the hotel and as soon as we sat. he asked "So where's my money then?" "I'm sorry. What money?" "The money I need for qat, as I helped you today" "Sorry for one thing you didn't really help me and secondly I thought you was helping because you were being nice, not because you wanted money. Presides I don't have any on me." "Yes, yes I was being nice but I need money for food. I'm very hungry from all that walking" "I thought you said you needed it for qat?" "All you British are the same" he went onto say, ignoring my question "The Americans are very generous but you English are very tight with your money. InSomaliland what monies in your pocket is mine too" "So whats in your pocket then? I asked in a contentious tone. "You British are all the same. Tight" enthaising the word tight as if it where stuck on the end of his tongue and he was trying to free it. "You insult me and expect money. You're not getting any and that's the end of it. Conversation closed." I got up and walked to my room. When I returned shortly afterMotima was gone. Back on the road to Las Geel the soldier handed me back the letter and waved us on. Mohamed made a left turn off the road, about 50km from Hargiesa and drove the aging white Mazda along a sandy track, as we bumped over sandstone rocks rubbed smooth over the generations by the sand and wind, I could see larger hills forming in the distance, already making out there rocky outcrops like warts on an old mans face. Las Geel, a series of small caves in the side of a large sandstone hill. The stone layered in varying shades of yellows and reds. it was believed nomadic herdsmen lived in the caves. Evidence of which is scattered across the cave walls. Elaborate drawings of cows, humans and weapons adorn the ceilings and sides of each cave. The drawings childlike in appearance have maintained there colour exceptionally well considering they're estimated to be over 5000 years old. Weapons and other artifacts have been discovered by french archeologist's and taken back to Paris for analysis. TheSomaliland government was asked for the items to be returned but the french refuse too. Adli, the manager of Oriental wants them to stay in France where he knows they'll not be sold off. The two hour shared taxi ride to the Berera, Somalilands port town and a key trading post for landlocked Ethiopia, took me along much of the same potted road Mohamed had taken me on the previous day to view the caves. Along with thearbitery police check points, again scrutinising my permission letter, but eventually waving us through. On arrival to the Berera , with it's crumbling old colonial buildings, mud huts and rusting hulks of metal ships in the old dock yard, I quickly noticed how intense the heat and humidity was. I was sweating just doing nothing. I checked into AlMadiina Hotel, in the center of town, a small well run place with clean showers and toilets. A rarity in Africa. The following morning I headed for the beaches, a walk of about 4km from the hotel. At 9am the sun was already intense and I as we neared the golden sands, I suddenly remembered I'd forgotten to apply any suntan lotion and had left the bottle in my room. A mistake a would regret for the next week. I was accompanied by Nichole, also staying at AlMadiina , and from America. Although her Asian features confused the locals no end, who kept on referring to her as 'China, China' to the annoyance of Nichole. The untouched beaches of of Somaliland are quite extraordinary. Unlike anywhere else I have traveled, these beaches haven't been turned over to tourism. As a result, only one hotel exists, set back from the beach and rather clinical in appearance. We walked for about 5km stopping frequently to take in our surroundings. The golden rippled sand molded perfectly by the wind and sea stretched in-front and behind us as far as the eye could see. There was occasional fisherman or locals swimming, but apart from this we were completely alone. The beach our paradise for as long as we choose to stay. Stretches of beach contained volcanic soft black sand. Where the gold and black sands met in rippled waves. Only our footprints braking the pattern. Shells washed up on the beach were quickly taken by hermit crabs, who would scurry with beautifully ornate shells on there backs. The sea although particularly salty was warm and very inviting and crystal clear. We ended up spending the entire day on the beach. For the next 4 days I was in excruciating pain with sever sunburn over my entire body. I also fell ill again with food poisoning from badly prepared fish. I eventually returned toHargiesa for the night before heading back to Ethiopia.
  6. Nairobi(Geeska) - Prof. Ismaaciil Maxamuud Hurre (Buubaa), oo ah siyaasi dhalasho ahaan ka soo jeeda Somaliland balse ka tirsan baarlamaanka Somaliya, ayaa qiray inuu jiro bayaan uu dhawaan baahiyay Wargeyska Geeska Afrika, oo ay magaalada Djibouti ka soo saareen xildhibaanada reer Somaliland ee ku jira dawladda Somaliya. Dr. Buubaa, oo isagoo jooga magaalada Nayrobi ee dalka Kenya xalay u waramay Wargeyska Geeska Afrika, waxa uu sheegay in ujeedada baaqaasi ahaa, dawladda Shariif Sheekh Axmed, oo ay u arkeen dawlad koonfureed oo sii fogaysay hamigoodii ku waajahnaa helitaanka midnimo Somaliyed oo ay muddo dheer daba joogeen balse hadda u muuqata gabaabsi. Buubaa, oo ugu horayn la weydiiyay sida uu u arko xaaladda cusub ee uu galay dalka Somaliya, waxa uu yidhi, "Waa xaalad cusub oo la arko oo aan la garanayn waxay la iman doonto laakiin arrimuhu weli may saldhigin oo way cakiranyihiin, xagga wadaadadana weeye dhibaatada ugu weyn ee maanta jirtaa. Intii la isku hayay reer hebel iyo reer hebel waa wax la yaqaanay ee imika waxa la isku haystaa anigaa kaa diin badan iyo anigaa kaa diin badan. Kolkaas arrimuhu ma dhibyara laakiin haddana bal aan eegno hoggaan cusub ayaa la doortee." Mar la weydiiyay waxa uu ka ogyahay baaq uu dhawaan Geeska Afrika baahiyay oo ay ku muujinayeen quusta ay ka joogaan hamigoodii ay mudada dheer baadi goobayeen ee midnimo mar dambe dhex marta Somaliland iyo Somaliya, waxa uu ku jawaabay "Haa, baaqaasi wuu jiray, waana sidaas aad qorteen, runtiina dawladdan cusubna wuu ka faalloonayaa, oo dawladaas Djibouti ka soo baxday waxaanu u aragnaa inay ku soo rogaal celisay dawlad koonfureed, maba diidanin inay sidaas noqoto, laakiin arrimaha badhtamaha iyo koonfurta wadanka inay isku hawliso kuna taageerto maamulka Somaliland inuu sida uu wax u waddo uu ka sii badiyo oo wadanka dejiyo, weeye iyo inay caalamka ugu baaqaan inay wax la qabtaan, Somaliland, Somaliland-na waxaanu u aragnaa inay aqoonsato waajibaadka ka saaran dhibaatada Somaliya." Ismaaciil Buubaa, oo la weydiiyay in baaqoodaas loo fasiran karo inay quus joogaan waxa uu yidhi, "Siyaasadu waa wixii suurto gal ah, markaas inkastoo aanu u aragno dantu inay ku wanaagsantahay inay mid ahaato, laakiin haddii ay dani ka maarmi weydo in wadanku labadaas dal [somliland iyo Somaliya] noqdo taasina waa mid ay tahay labada dhinacba inay si wanaagsan isugu taageeraan." Waxa Mr. Buubaa, la weydiiyay waxa ka jira warar muddooyinkii u dambeeyay soo baxayay oo sheegayay inuu iska casilay xubinimadii baarlamaanka Somaliya waxa uu yidhi, "Weli ismaan casilin, laakiin baarlamaankani inuu shaqayn doono iyo in kale Alle ayaa og, kolkay wakhtigeeda gaadho war buuxa ayaad iga maqli doontaa." Ismaaciil Buubaa, waxa uu ku doodday inaanu marna ka talin wax dibin-daabyo u gaysanaya guud ahaan xasiloonida Somaliland, waxaanu yidhi, "Hargeysa waa magaaladaydii, wixii khalkhal gelinaya degenaanshaha guud ahaan Somaliland horena ugma kicin, haddana ku kici maayo, laakiin mabda'dayga lamaan gaban, waxaanan arkayay in danta Somaliland ku jrto inay ka mid noqdaan Somaliya oo ay weliba hoggaamiyaan, laakiin haddii ay sidaas noqon weydo waa waxa siyaasadu ay tahay inaan aqbalo siday arrimuhu ku dhammaaddaan." Wargeyska Geeska Afrika, ayaa dhawaan baahiyay bayaan ay Djibouti ka soo saareen xildhibaanada Somaliland u dhashay ee ku jira dawladda Imbigaati. Baaqaas oo aan saxaafadda loogu tallo gelin bale nuqul ka mid ah uu Wargeysku helay, waxa ay ku sheegeen in dawladda Shariif Sheekh Axmed, soo afjartay hayaankoodii midnimo-doonka ahaa, waxaanay dawladda Shariif ku tilmaameen inay tahay xukuumad koonfureed oo xag jirnimo iyo go'doon ku sii fogaanaysa. Bayaankaas oo ku kala qornaa luuqadaha Ingiriisida iyo Somaliga, ayaa waxa ka muuqda saxeexooda, waxaana dadka saxeexay ka mid ah Ismaaciil Maxamuud Hurre (Buubaa) oo dhawr jeer dawladihii kala dambeeyay ee Somaliya loo dhisay ka noqday wasiirka arrimaha dibadda. Waxa kale oo ka mid ah Cabdalla Xaaji Cali, oo mar noqday maayarka magaalada Berbera iyo weliba badhasaabka gobalka Saaxil. "Dhismaha xukuumadda loogu magac daray 'xukuumad midnimo qaran', wuxuu soo afjaray hayaankii xildhibaanadu ugu jireen midnimo doonka, wuxuuna dhismahaasi u xuub siibtay 'xukuumad koonfureed' oo xagjirnimo iyo go'doon ku sii fogaanaysa. Qoondihii siyaasadeed ee ku salaysnaa in laga dhursugo xasilinta gobalada koonfureed si ay laysu waafajiyo helitaanka midnimo iyo rabitaanka Somailland gabaabsi buu taaganyahay, wuxuuna u baahanyahay wax ka bedel." Ayay ku yidhaahdeen baaqooda, waxaanay intaas raaciyeen, " Sabahaas xaqiiqda ah awgood, waxaanu soo jeedinaynaa tallooyinkan soo socda: 1. In xukumadda midnimo qaran ee Djibouti lagu dhisay waaqica u soo daadegto oo ay isku hawliso wax ka qabashada gobalada dhexe iyo koonfureed ee wadanka gaar ahaan gobalka Banaadir, uguna baaqdo adduun weynaha in Somaliland si toos ah loola dhaqmo, loo tixgeliyo, taageero dhaqaale iyo dmid siyaasadeedna la siiyo. 2. In ay Somaliland aqoonsato waajibaadka ka saaran xal u helida raadinta dhibaatooyinka ka taagan badhtamaha iyo koonfurta Somaliya, oo ay aqoonsato danaha ma guuraanka ah ee Somalialnd ugu jira xal u raadintaas. 3. Inay Somaliland, Puntlandi yo galmudug iska kaashadaan hawl;aha ammaanka iyo isku xidhnaanta dib u dhiska, dhaqaale iyo siyaasadda."

  11. Hargeisa (Observer) –On Thursday, a strong Somaliland delegation departed for Djibouti to take part in an investment forum organized by the French Government in the Republic of Djibouti. Waaheen Media reported last week that Somaliland received an official invitation to participate in this international conference. The Minister of National Planning and Coordination of International Agencies, Mr. Ali Ibrahim, led the Somaliland delegation. The French investment forum is intended to introduce French companies and their products to the nations of the Horn particularly in Djibouti and to direct French foreign investment strategy. The present investment forum which is planned for 13 to 16 March follows on another forum held in Paris last year to which Somaliland was also invited. In the previous forum Somaliland diplomats from the EU region attended. In Djibouti, many French companies were expected to present expositions, but French government officials including several parliamentarians are also expected to attend. A senatorial delegation attending the forum is expected to visit Somaliland after the closure of the forum in Djibouti. Minister of Planning, Ali Ibrahim, told reporters at the airport that Somaliland will showcase its investment potential to the companies and governments in attendance. He was accompanied on the delegation by the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and officials of the ministry of commerce. Observer has also learned that other Somaliland officials were already in Djibouti and will take part in the forum.
  12. Firstly I would like to thank the President of the republic of Somaliland Mr Dahir Riyaale Kaahin and his members of government for the achievement to secure the land and the steps they have taken in developing democracy in the country for the past seven years. I also would like to thank the government for the action they have taken in terms of the last terrorist attacks and huge processes for providing the registration cards to Somaliland citizens for the upcoming election. I also thank the National Election Commission for the huge task they have taken in these national insurance cards. I advice them to work faithfully with the whole Somaliland authorities and with the any International Agencies, which have any links with this election, such as the AIPBO (An International Peace Building Organization) for to get this election as fairly and democratically as possible My urgent letter is concerning this upcoming election, because we all know the election has concerned and confused the citizens. The recent increasing arguments and disagreements between the opposition leaders and government have made the citizens anxious for the future of this nation. Therefore I strongly advice to all Somaliland leaders to take large responsible as what they say through media to citizens of Somaliland and work closely with the National Election Commission as truthfully as possible. I also advice to stop these comments (– which can divide the nation –) they send through media, because it just confuses the society and causes corruption, violence and division within society. In our fatherland (Somaliland), everyone has right to express their own opinion to the public, especially the politicians who want to become a leader and represent this country, which Somaliland citizens should be proud of it. However, I would like to inform to all Somalilander politicians; "Today you are representing the country and you are responsible as an elected politician as what you say through media to the public, because it could influence the citizens". Specifically to opposition leaders, I would like to notify that today you can be an elected president in this nation and you will possibly lead this country in the future. It all depends whether this nation has an interest on your theory to lead this nation for the next five years (if Allah allow us to live). I advice you not to use fierce languages which can cause conflict, worry and division within the nation. This could take us back to the period of 1988—1991, when our fatherland (Somaliland) was under a war. I do not want that to happen again to my fellow citizens, who love to live in the peace and a democratic state. I personally believe, that for the sake of this country, the best solution is to discuss the issue during the periods of disagreements and make a final agreements together. In Conclusion, I do not want see or hear in any kind of hazard, which could cause a rift within the country. Therefore, I am asking the Government of Somaliland, Both Opposition parties (Kulmiye & Ucid), House of Parliaments and National Election Commission to be aware that they have the responsibility for our country and its future lies in their hands. I strongly recommend all of you to work as closely as possible, especially if this kind of crisis or disagreements comes into Somaliland. We should always work with the interest of public in mind and I do not think arguing through the media is what our citizens want from the top leaders of this nation. Politics can sometimes divide us but we Somaliland people has a common issue which unite us which is the Somaliland being recognize internationally. To get there we must work together and truthfully. May Allah bless you and bless our fatherland Somaliland. Sadiq Maxamed Xassan Yey
  13. Elections are coming ,,, see the Bugland guys already shivering ??
  14. 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 3) I did not object to the object . 4) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 5) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row . 6) They were too close to the door to close it. 7) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 8) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France .Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indixes? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital, ship by truck and send cargo by ship, have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill-in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't Buick rhyme with quick?

  19. About the Elections Postponed “when the early Europeans settled in south African, the decided to introduce clothing to the Zulu naturist nation. So they distributed sheets of cotton and woolen blankets to be tailored for them as shirts, coats and pants. A Zulu guy took this stuff to an Indian tailor. The Indian tailor was so busy that he kept the guy coming back everyday always telling him to come back tomorrow. The zulu guy could not take it anymore and got angry and threatened the tailor with his spear. The Indian guy was so amused by the incident that he remarked to the angry Zulu guy “listen, you were naked all your life, can you not wait one more day?”
