Walee Ama Jaahil ii Tali Ama Jaray Shakaalkoo Cashaquna Galbeed Noqoy.

 

 

Here is what is new in Somalilnd that the local media doesn.t cover.

 

 

The Chinese are here.

 

Since late 2013, a Chinese company has settled in Baki region of Awdal for mineral exploration. They brought heavy equipment and other tools to excavate luxury stones like Emeralds and others precious metals from the Baki district mountains. besides the Emeralds, most of their work is directed specifically to the miming of Beryllium. A metal element mixed with other compounds. First , they started hauling some of these stones directly to the ports to China for refining , but recently, they begin miming this new found metal.

 

 

Beryllium (Be), atomic number 4, is a brittle, steel-gray metal found as a component of coal, oil, certain rock minerals, volcanic dust, and soil. Elemental beryllium is the second lightest of all metals and is used in a wide variety of applications. In its elemental form beryllium exhibits the unique properties of being light weight and extremely stiff, giving the metal several applications in the aerospace, nuclear, and manufacturing industries. In addition, beryllium is amazingly versatile as a metal alloy where it is used in dental appliances, golf clubs, non-sparking tools, wheel chairs, and electronic devices.

 

 

To separate this metal from other stones, a huge amount of water and chemicals are needed in the miming pits. Just like the Canadian oil sand this toxic water should be sequestered or kept in a pond. This toxic ponds must be controlled and guarded from domestic animals and other wild life creatures including birds. Last month , about 300 goats and sheep's from the rural area of Baki have died after consuming some of these toxic waters. Some of us have heard or seen local people complaining about the danger of these toxic elements in their water. One of These weak Suldans was saying " Adeer Macdanta iska gurta oo , laakiin suntan naga Daaya".

 

 

As usual , The minister of the Minerals Mr. Ducaale who is among the closets blood relative of Ahmed Siilaanyo, the President, signed these contracts without the knowledge of the Awdal government and people. Well, the governor of Awdal is another cousin of Siilaanyo, , which makes this a family affair to rob the region and the people. The so called tribal parliament which doesn't have any party loyalty, ethics or concern for the activity of the current government, doesn't know any thing about these contracts. There are no government oversight about the health consequences of these miming activities. Exposure to Beryllium can cause lung cancer, Pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses.

 

 

Last month, the Chinese company announced that they will take out 500,000 Tons of rocks and dirt from the Baki mountains of Awdal. That means huge mountains will be exported or mined for the benefit of the Hargeisa based mafias.

 

 

1 Ton is equivalent of 1000 Kg.

 

500,000 x 1000kg = 500,000,000 kg.

 

 

If the mafia is able to sell one dollar for every kg, they could easily make a half billion dollars. It is one of the major reasons these minister is creating a militia to protect his of shore contracts. To the surprise of the Mafia , almost all of the mineral rich area of Somalilnd is in Awdal and the eastern zone.

 

 

Sheekh Samaale and the money.

 

 

The finance minister who calls himself a Sheekh released the estimate of the 2015, budget. When the parliament was functioning like an opposition or an institution, ministers were grilled and questioned for the allocation and priorities of the fiscal year budget. That was when Somaliland acted as a government. Since it transformed it self a tribal entity, checks and balances have disappeared. There is no Parliament to debate, reject or even force the minister to change the numbers.

 

 

In 2012/2013, the minister claimed his budget estimate to be $ 150 million. After the end of the fiscal year it ended up to be $106 million dollars. Among those numbers , 21% were foreign aid. Almost every year he adds the foreign aid money to the budget while hiding the deficit. This year he projected $252 million dollar budget. They added the budget almost $ 38 million foreign aid budget which wasn't a budgetary aid , but a direct aid for essential services like water, sanitation and education. They printed $ 80 million worth of Somalind shilling and added to the budget. They are financing their deficit by printing money to cover their short fall of revenues. In fact they could claim 300 million dollar budget while printing money fro thin air. What they don't understand is over printing of these useless money will create inflation. If meticulous bookkeeping and audit are done, their whole revenue will not be more than $ 80 million.

 

 

The office of the minister of Finance is allocated himself a whooping $306,000 dollars. He is also guaranteed expenses for travel, fuel, car, house and other allowances. They allocated almost eighty million dollars ($78million), for employee salaries. for the last two years, they hired more employees than the combined number Somaliland governments hired for the last twenty years. The ministry of finance alone hired 1468 people , most of them from the sub clan of the minister. No one knows how they are hired or what kind of service they provide. The Somalia of the eighties where everyone claims to be tribal, when I finished high school , we were about six thousand students, who competed for 1000 positions of the university slots. While people were always added after the fact, those of us who succeeded were selected by merit. Although everyone came to Mogadishu for education and jobs, the country was huge for different opportunity. Here everyone is under the mercy of the Hargeisa Oligarchs. The youth who graduated from these mushrooming universities are dying in the high seas to find opportunities while they spend millions for non existent services. The palace is allocated more than 9 million dollars , while 11 million were allocated for development. During Rayale administration, the palace was allocated 1.2 million dollars. Waa qaataaye qaado.

 

 

Fill up the jails.

 

 

These Awdalites complaining about the jailing of city counsel members, youths and others, must understand the value of self determination and freedom. Didn't they hear last week about minister Hersi Gaab describing how he was chased by a tank in late eighties. He was a young teenager who never saw any compact or war, yet in order to boost his standing , he claimed to have been a member of SNM. So, these Awdalites must accept the jails, if they want to be part of the heroes of the Awdal revolution.

 

 

If history is the lesson, Siilaanyo will create and nurture the Awdal " Jabhad" without the effort of those who desired. In the eighties, SNM was small movement, but their ranks were increased by the action of the governors, military leaders and internal security apparatus, by persecuting the masses. The latest moves by Siilaanyo doesn't surprise me. About forty armored technical have left the Khaatumo region this week and are heading to Awdal. More troops have relocated in the border area of the province. Some have described Somalilnd as the sick man of the horn of Africa. A wind of change is blowing.

 

 

I believe that if Awdal people want to go their separate ways, there are easy steps that may hasten the divorce. For example: The recognized elders, Suldaans with Ugaas, can hold a grand conference whit in Borama city limits and decide collectively the proclamation of the separation Awdal. They can't force hundred's of thousands of people if they make their decision collectively.

The people Awdal should have the sole right to oversee, manage, extract, sell and profit from this precious resource. Nobody else. Siilaanyo should know that the old and tired Somali Top-Bottom approach when it comes to governance, will only lead to chaos and a renewed civil strife. Times have changed and today every Somali clan wants to be a federal state so as to govern own affairs and manage resources. The locals should be the main beneficiaries of any natural resource. Like any civilized society, Awdalites are willing to share and pay taxes to a central government that provides common defense and disaster mitigation.

[Saalax]

Interesting read. However the thing is Awdalites are too lenient, in the

the east Siilaanyo tried to bring oil companies to Bohol district (settled

by my community) we chased the company away with bullets. I think the concept

of firing bullets might be alien to Awdal people, hence why Siilaanyo is taking

advantage. As the saying goes nimaan shantada karebin sharci makarebo.

[Mooge]

Adwal is not taking shyt no more niyoow. Dhulka iyagaa leh. Gobanimo wa u dhalasho niyoow, nina nin kale ma gumaysan karo, tasna laga yeeli mayo Siilanyo.

 

His game is up.

[Libaax-Sankataabte]

Great read ya Galbeedi.

 

I'd like to hear the Guru's thoughts on this matter. Are Siilaanyo's endeavors sustainable?

[CidanSultan]

Galbeedi who did you have lunch with this time to attain this information the Chinese owner of the mining company?

 

Let's look at galbeedi claims objectively.

 

He claims Somaliland leadership is jahiil???

 

OK... Why???

 

Because apparently samale the finance minister is stealing from the people of awdal. What's the proof. Non given just some hogwash of emotion based on allegations.

 

Ok so what's the reality.

 

The reality is this samale is in charge of finances. I. E. The money the come into the coffers of Somaliland and go out into projects. That's it.

 

He was never responsible for any mining deal. Or any deal whatsoever. The minister of mining and resources is in charge of that. He signed a profit sharing agreement with a Chinese company. The same profit sharing deal signed with other foreign companies for the berbera port, the odewyne oil blocks. The fishing companies etc.

 

So why is galbeedi hoofing and puffing over this particular deal. Because it's in awdal his region. The Somaliland government is a democratically elected government elected to represent the interest of the all the people of Somaliland. It has every right to sign contracts on behalf of its citizens. It signs deals for every region in somaliland like the UK or any government would. If you disagree with this and think every tribe is entitled to sign it's own contract then that's purely tribalist nonsense.

 

This is what this thread boils down to tribalism. Look at the people commenting. Saleex the kid who said clearly he hates Somaliland because in his own words HJ are his enemies. Mooge the man whose sole love is to see Kenyans ruling on behalf of tribesmen in kismayo who don't have the b@lls to do anything for themselves.

 

 

Samale firstly. Is a God fearing man. I don't know why you even said anything against him. The man wouldn't take a dime from anyone if he was not entitled to it. He lives in a modest house in hargaisa and takes home a modest wage. He drives a modest car. How do I know this. I don't wanna sound like galbeedi but I know him. I'm not of his tribe I live in the opposite side of hargaisa and don't really care. I will tell you if he is bad or good based on what I have seen.

 

Let's look at the facts one of the greatest presidents of Somaliland Dahir riyale kahin who was president for 8 years has a house in france worth 500,000 Euros and in UAE of the same amount. Where did he get that money from.

 

Galbeedi how come your not crying about this. This is proven jahiilnimo. Is this because it doesn't matter because he is from awdal.

 

Awdal is richer and better today then it's entire history that's a fact. Fake nationalists like galbeedi use heresay nonsense without evidence. Borama is 1.5 hour drive from hargaisa. The reality is awdal today is more developed, better, happier and richer then it has ever been. I go there and know very well. I'm not reporting to you from USA miniapolis like galbeedi.

 

 

[CidanSultan]

This is not to say that everything is perfect. Alot of things could be improved and should be improved. I just don't buy this other baseless nonsense. Who doesn't even know who is in charge of what.

 

What these fake people offer is not even constructive critism it's just nonsense.

They can't force hundred's of thousands of people if they make their decision collectively.

 

Mr Galbeedi, I am no supporter of Silaanyo, Kulmiye, or any other political entity or personality in Somaliland but I feel obliged to correct few serious errors in your comment.

1. 500,000 tons of dirt and rocks does not equal 500,000 tons of metals or gemstones. Only a tiny fraction of what is excavated will be useful material.

2. A kilo of rock and dirt cannot be sold for one US dollar so your figure of half a billion US dollars is absurd.

3. 500,000 tons of rock and sand is more like a termite hill than a mountain. Given that a small 64 Cu ft. sandstone boulder on average weights about 4.5 tons, the Chinese will excavate the equivalent of 100,000 boulders or a few descend truck loads of rock and dirt. To put things into perspective, the Pyramid of Giza is estimated to weight about 5.9 million tons which is 12 times what the Chinese company is proposing to dig out.

4. The extracted minerals will not be sold at the market price to the Chinese investors. At best what the government would get as a share will be between 5% and 10% of the market price of the minerals. The remaining 90% plus of the market price of the minerals covers the industrial processing, transportation, marketing, storage, packaging, taxes, company profits, middlemen, etc.

 

My only worry about this mining business is its environmental impact on the area and the negative effects it might have on the health and livelihood of the locals.

[CidanSultan]

^^

 

 

You need to read between the lines. Galbeedi clearly doesn't follow logic of any sort. He hadn't proved anything or even argued for anything realistic. He is in many ways similar to salax who has a HJ paranoia and inferiority complex. This galbeedi has a similar inferiority complex issue with HA hence why he jumped on Samale who regardless of his tribe is a good man.

 

The reality is this. This is not about resources, it's not about nationalism it's not even about unionism. A remedial child if asked do you want to join rapists and thief's or join a group of people next door to you that are sane will choose correctly.

 

Galbeedi head for hills and do what you want from miniapolis. Every inch of Somaliland will remain a unified entity not because of tribe but because of need.

 

Continue having dinners with the easter bunny see if it makes a difference.

[Mooge]

^^ lol. is that a threat against the people of Awdal niyoow? you seem confident and condescending niyoow. Awdal will do what Awdal wants. It is not the other way around my SNM jihadi.

 

 

[CidanSultan]

Awdal has done what awdal wants. And unfortunately for you that's what angers you. Do you honostly think that galbeedi the fake nationalist speaks for awdal. The people of awdal speak for themselves in the multiple elections and endorsements of Somaliland they have had.

 

Mooge this Clearly out of your Depth. How's your shoe shining career in front of UN offices nairobi treating you these days. Well I hope.

 

 

Still clapping for those Kenyans in kismayo I see. Hag this and hag that right.

 

Shoooo fly. When we need advice on how to do a Nikko dance for Kenyans occupying Somali territory I'll be sure to ask for you.

[galbeedi]

Mooge, let CiidanSuldaan continue his usual trolls. As you said this issue will be decided by the people of Awdal. No bullet is fired yet there is panic every where . Does anyone remember the Berlin wall, it did fall without a war. Legitimacy is very important factor in any government.

 

THey don't provide any basic services, like health care, education or infrastructure, yet they pick pocket every villager and traveler. They can't build small fishing port, yet they over tax those who bring their goods from the barren sea. How can you double charge someone who doesn't receive any port services from the mafia masquerading like a government. You do not unload the goods or provide save transport, yet you want to double tax them.

 

Believe me, the issue isn't only about representation, but illegitimacy, incompetence and tribal based governance.. In this country of Canada or the province and city that I live, there are no Somali city counsel members, police officers, business leaders or members of legislator, yet, if you ask me how I feel about Canada?, I will tell you that , I like this country. There is a rule of law, democracy, opportunity and security. Regardless of discrimination and other short comings, I feel there is fairness and opportunity to succeed for those who work hard. I may not like the government of the day, but the system is bigger than a tribe or an ethnic group. Meritocracy, justice and fairness is the foundation of any system. It is not only Awdal, believe me if this sick man of the horn doesn't change, anarchy and mayhem could be expected in hargeisa.

 

I think the Somalilnd system had enough time and space to develop, but they just refused to implement the rule of law, fairness and competent government. benchmarks that that indicate government or modern institution have disappeared totally. . You can't reform or revive a dead horse. The Parliament is a mess, and has been a mess for 24 years. They do not represent any political parties nor they pass any legislations, At least in Mogadishu, they are honest about their 4.5 based systems. They had plenty of opportunities to fix this but, They failed. You can't revive a dead horse, it must be euthanized for clean beginning.

 

Even Faisal Waraabe was calling USC and others to help against this new Awdal uprising. No bullet has been fired yet , the noise from Ciidan suldaans own suldaan Ins Cabdulqadir was calling Jihaad against Suldaan WAbar is an indication of fear of the future. The biggest weapons we have is we might expose a big lie, which in return may crumble. . We are " A witnesses to the Mob". Does anyone have seen that movie.

 

[galbeedi]

Didn't I just mentioned the money printed by Somalilnd to flood the market and fatten the budget numbers?. well, inflation is double digit as we speak and the so called central bank director introduced the fake money printed without economic output. higher interest rates and currency control is some of the mechanisms to lower inflation, not printing fake money.

 

Printing uncontrolled fake paper money and flooding the market is recipe for disaster. I warn the Awdal people and others to refuse exchanging these fake money with dollars. Former President AbdiQasim did the same thing in 2000 , by printing billions of Somali shillings and forcing people to exchange their dollars through al-Barakaat and others. His actioned created warlord millionaires and oligarchs, which Somalia is battling to this day.

 

Be ware of the Hargeisa Mafia.

[CidanSultan]

Again we see poor emotional galbeedi. Mr dinner with the easter bunny not answering my question or even talabos question which are both legitimate. He avoids answering because he has been caught out lieing as usual. Turning to mooge the Kenyan tribalist cheerleader won't help you galbeedi.

 

You are a clear liar and here is the proof. The Somaliland central bank has been trying to stabilise the Somaliland shilling. Not because it wants to Rob the people. The currency is used across the country why would it be only targeted at awdal. Why would they ruin their chances of re-election.

 

Galbeedi the people of awdal who actually live in awdal not minaplois have spoken they have asked your kind to ethier support the region with development or f off. They refer to your kind as the waxmataro.

 

And unlike you galbeedi I don't talk outa my @ss here is what the people of awdal have to say.
