It is not a good news to strangle hardworking Somali business owners for a political reason. We must find a solution to enable all Somalis to freely trade with one and other, and with other countries so that they can  make money to uplift the lives of Somalis in the motherland and beyond.

Dad la tahriibiyo aragnay, imikana waxa Somaliland ku soo biiray Xoolo la tahriibiyo.

These people keep lying on any  issue. While denouncing the Somali health certificate, this fool , Mr. Gaafadhi , claimed that any livestock leaving Berbera will only have Somaliland stamp and if the Saudis object to these rule " Our live stock will stay here and will find another market"

Now he is saying a Saudi company had guaranteed the import  of the livestock. Just like those who smuggle people,  they tried to get a false travel and health document from non legal entities. THey went to JIgjiga and Mustafe Cagjar--- who has no business of  issuing health certificates to livestock exported from Berbera--- and he falsely gave them a letter claiming  that these livestocks were from Ethiopia with good standing.

Rather than allow the Somali nomad and small business traded to make some money from the  IIdul Adha,  they tried a shortcut route  to circumvent the Somali government requirements and show false bravado to the innocent public.

What people do not know is that most of the government ministers are incompetent tribal appointees who couldn't  understanding how to manage a 21st century government which is a modern institution that requires educated technocrats that must manage these things. 

For 30 years they could not find a single market for these livestocks. This has nothing to do for being recognized or not. All you have do is set up a world class health inspection agency and export to the world markets. The Somali goat and sheep is our oil and gas, and the only real export that could alleviate poverty from the rural community. Even the Somali government should try finding other markets. The Arabs governments are becoming the worst people on earth and must be avoided to make any deals as much as possible . Waa " Asfilu saafiliyiin"

Too bad after 30 years they are  still blaming Siyaad Barre. 

Since these smuggling failed, they might try another one, this time through Yemeni Houthis or other entities to smuggle to Saudi Arabia. 

And you know what? I blame Suldaanka and others here in SOL who are cheering every wrong moves of the the incompetent elite. Rather than speak for the people and correct these deceptions, they double down.This Muuse guy is failing in every front.

I have to investigate and dig deep down why Mustafe Cagjar keep interfering issues that doesn't concern him. We all know that Ethiopia is a very difficult place to take out money legally, and Wajaale is the only place to do under the table transactions. It is A Dubai of the region. 

Is this man preparing his exit and relying on Biixi Biixi? 

I don't know. Time will tell.

First of all, the 20k livestock ship has not returned. It is still stationed in Jeddah. There are some news that says the Ship is actually being unloaded at Jeddah port - no confirmation yet but just rumours going around.

In any case, there are fights that you do not fight, and this particular Saudi Arabia livestock issue is one of them. 

The idea that Saudi gov't agreeing to have certifications done in Mogadishu is just ludicrous, to the say the least. And it shows the primitiveness of Saudi governance.

It has always been known that the Somali livestock earned the ire of the big Saudi Livestock importers that import livestock from Australia and New Zealand. The repeated, recycled, accusations of 'Rift Valley Fever' which the Saudis always used to stop Somali livestock comes to mind.   As well as the unannounced ban which is currently has been in effect for the last 3 years - only allowing Somali Livestock during the Hajj season but stopping all other times. 

Apparently, Somali stock being closer to market,  keeps the price of livestock stable and low in the Saudi Markets. 

The Australian/New Zealand business make very little profit in such price war, whereas Somalis make a healthy profit even if the prices are low. 

It has a lot to do with these businesses who found a willing partner in Mogadishu to stifle the Somali livestock. It is only fitting for Cheeseman who has been a sell out to join forces with those who want to stop Somali Livestock trading.

Again, like I said there are fights you do not fight and this one is particularly a bad fight for Mogadishu.

The latest news say the ship has been unloaded successfully. There are a number of ships that will be leaving Berbera in the next few days, lets see if Cheeseman can stop it. :D

The Saudis will release that Cheeseman has absolutely no control over the livestock.

This begs the question, when you cannot stop a ship from leaving the port of Berbera, how can you expect the 'goodwill' of recieving countries to enforce your laws? :D

The question Cheeseman is pondering about today.

Even business and profit margins do not survive clan politics. Is the Cheeseman going blockade Berbera port? And with whom's navy shall he block the port?
