Berbera(Qarannews)- Talks between the Somaliland Home Affairs Minister, Mohamed Nur Arrale "Duur" and the elders of the Berbera community regarding the future of the old Berbera Cement factory and a government license to build a new issued to Dahabshiil Ltd. by the government of President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Siilaanyo", have collapsed.

 

The talks were intended to gauge the opposition to the new factory from the community who claim that a local company that is willing to either rehabilitate the old factory or build a new one. The community are opposed to the license granted to Dahabshiil Ltd, and have requested previously that the administration reconsider its decision.

 

Despite efforts by the elders of Berbera to bring about some sort of reconciliation between the community and the government, the failure of the talks are seen as a setback to the government's attempt push through the construction of a new cement factory.

 

Last night, Minister Duur, the Somaliland Home Affairs minister issued an order for the commencement of the construction of the new factory. As the direct result of this order, the government has been moving more Police officers into Berbera and the surrounding areas to ostensibly keep the peace and head off any demonstrations by the local community.

 

According to eye witnesses in the city, the mood in Berbera is tense with a belligerent attitude from the government side and anger from the community. There are indications that the matter may lead to the use force by both parties unless a resolution can be found which will satisfy both sides.

 

It is worth noting that Berbera was the scene of serious disturbances in the early 1990's which led to the fall of the government of the late President Abdirahman Tuur. Those disturbances concerned the control of the port of Berbera. Eventually a resolution was reached under the government of the late President Egal.

 

The situation remains volatile in Berbera and the surrounding areas. The only way to avoid conflict appears to be the resumption of talks between the government of President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud "Siilaanyo" and the community of Berbera.

I hope Siianyu stops the clanish and corrupt behavior and listen to the people. They are stealing food aid for God's sake..

[STOIC]

I don't know what Silanyo got to do with some corrupt officials, if anything he is doing an effective clean-up....In a country with poor and inefficient systems you will expect this sort of things.As for the Berbera cement company , don't they have some sort of bidding procedures that conform with the requirement established by law?

[General Duke]

Siilanyu has given a license to his own clan folk and this made the locals unhappy. The corruption level of this junta is ridiculous...

^No bidding procedure is required. Dahabshiil wants to construct a NEW cement factory. Nothing to do with the old government owned one.

[Che -Guevara]

Corruption is everywhere and in land, there's no other entity creating jobs and generating income-your tol controlling the government goes long way. Perpetual extreme poverty will undo any system.

Is that how the clan rationalized the whole escapade? Disgusting.........

[N.O.R.F]

^Its really quite simple.

 

1. Dahabshiil sees the opportunity to build a new cement factory.

2. It applies for a government license.

3. The government gives them that license.

 

Anyone can do it but, obviously, Dahabshiil are probably the only company that has the finances to actually build and run it.

 

The government isn't going to refuse investment in the country and employment for its citizens etc. It will allow others to do the same.

Of course you are from the old man's clan and thus everything is wonderful. The people of Barbera think otherwise...

[STOIC]

Norf,

So who is keeping the old government factory running? Is it closed for good? Is the government hoarding the license from Dahabshil competitors? If every one is given equal opportunity in doing investment, then why would anyone complain? I don't get it..I'm assuming the excavation site is the country treasure and the government is in control of who gets the license to operate.I doubt anyone with a visual like a hawk can just show up and start excavating.There should be some sort of order

Warshadda Sibidhku Ma Hanti Qaranbaa?

Salaamu Alikum

 

Waxaan mahad gaar ah iska leh websitka iyo akhristayaasha fikirkaygan ila eegaya.

 

Dal kastaa wuxuu leeyahay Hanti Guud (National assets) oo ugu tala galay iney dadka jooga markaas iyo kuwa dhalan donaa iney ka fa’ideystaan, hantida guudna wey fara badan tahay oo waxaa ka mid ah mid dhulka , badda iyo buurahaba laga helaa.

 

Dawlada markaa joogtaa xaq uma lahaa iney ku tagri fasho hantida guud ee waxa xaq loogu leeyahay iney si cadalad iyo sinaan ah ku maamusho.

Warshada sibidhka ee Berbera yaa iska leh? Hantida guud ee dalka ayey ka mid tahay waxaana iska leh shacabka reer Somaliland, gobol kasta iyo degmo kasta oo Somaliland ka mid ah ayaa iska leh.

Dawladu hadii aaney u hayn misaaniyad ay ku dhisto, waxaa xaq loogu leeyahay dawlada iney diraasad ku sameyso kharashka ay ku kacayso dhisida warshadu, markaana u qaybiso gobolada dalka si dadku u iibsadaan shares, gobol kastaana helo(equal share).

 

Sidaynu wada ogsoonahaygobol kasta wuxuu leeyahay tu’jaar dhexe oo ka qayb gali kara iney shares ku yeshaan warshada, tajir kastaana wuxuu eegayaa wa fa,ido joogta.

 

Dawlada waxaa ku waajib ah iney olale balaadhan u gashaa arinka si ay uga dhadhicso shacab weynaha reer Somaliland fa’ida ku jira wada lahaanshaha, shirkii London olalaha ay u gashay kanaa ka midho badan, hay’ad ka madax banana u sameysaa hirgalinta mashruucan iyo kuwa kaleba.

 

Suaasha talaa waxay tahay dawladu xaq ma u leedahay iney hanti guud shakhsi gacanta u galiso? Jawaabtu wa MAYA , xaq uma lahaa, sharci u baneynayaa ma jiro, dawlada shaqadeedu wa maamul ee bixin marnaba maha.

 

Fadlan cadifad shakhsi iyo mid qabiil intaad dhinac iska dhigtaan ila eega fikirkan.

 

Waad Mahadsantihiin

You will probably hear about the government owned factory soon. It will be re-built with the government getting a share of the profit. The new factory isn't in the same area (still in Berbera though). The complaints from reer Berbera are misguided as they will benefit with jobs and the other economic benefits the two factories will bring.

dahabshill is only a front mate! they will offer the contract to a turkish company once its obtained the contract. this company will take all the profits then dahabshiill will take its cut too. what profits will the locals gain from such foggy joint-ventures like these. there must be multiplier effects and development of local economy.

 

we need ethical investment procedures in place before embarking on major projects like these. there are pre-requites required and unfortunately the government and dahabshiill have both fallen short of that standard. the government should aim to maintain a 24% golden share which is common practice around the world for any state backed ventures. unfortunately, this government is heavily burdened to dahabshiill and must give kickbacks to dahabshiill. its a pity really.
