The chairman said , " all 1600 polling stations had submitted their results and have been counted". Dhamaan waa la soo wada tiriyey oo degmooyinkii ay ka baxeen ayey ku soo noqdeen". They have to go through the second stage of counting at the district level if thee is dispute. By Monday night everyone including the public could have got the results. Here is how this election could have been finished or early results released Friday. Here are the rules stated by the commission itself: Here are the rules of the election commission which was stated before the election. Here is what the chairman said: First , " Marka lixda maqribnibaha codbixinta sidaa loo xidho ,goob walba oo cod laga bixiyey waxa jooga oo qol lagu soo xidhaya afar qof oo komishinka ka tirsan oo tirinaya iyo muraaqibiinta saddexda xisbi qaran u jooga goobaha, marka ay tirinta dhameeyaan , waxa ay ku dhawaaqi doonaan natiijada hordhaca ah ee goob kasta, komishinkuna waxa ay ku dhwaaqi doonaan natiijada hordhaca ah" "As soon as the polls close at 6pm , the four members of the election commission and the three reps (Muraaqibiin) of the parties will be closed in a room and they will start counting. After they finished counting, everyone including the party reps will be given the results of every polling station and the preliminary results of every station will be announced". My friends that was the rule. The early elections , especially those held by Daahir Rayaale administration, there were no voter lists or even bio-metric cards. People counted what ever they found in the boxes and no counting had taken place in the rural or village level. All boxes were brought to the district level, and usually it took five to six days. This election was different. Just like in most western nations the system was designed to release the early results at that same night. Since each of those 1600 hundred polling stations had the same staff and rules of counting, all results could have been known Monday night. Do not be fooled by the commission statements that " since Hargeisa is huge place it will take longer to count". Of course it will take more time after you bring all boxes from over three hundred polling stations, but at polling level you have exact same staff. If Awdal had over hundred polling stations, HArgeisa had double. That means every station has the ability to count and send it's results Monday night. The so called 200,000 hargeisa voters are spread out to hundred of polling station. The problem is as soon as the early results came out the commission decided not to announce , but use delaying tactics and pretend nothing has been counted yet " Hargeisa oo degmo weyn ah weli lama tirin" was an excuse used. He did tell that, but it was already counted, but he should have said that all results are in , and what remains is double checking of the results. Saeed Cali Muuse is the protegee of Mr Adami , the defense minister who was the election chairman in 2003. Mr. Muuse, the man who said nothing of concern had happened , is one of those hungry diaspora members who is probably willing to cash in. Insiders are telling us that the day the East Burco and West Burco community reached agreements to cooperate and build brotherly and neighborly situation in their regions, Kulmiye had panicked and started fraud mechanism to steal the election. Ahmed Siilaanyo won over 70% of Togdheer, yet now it seems Waddani is leading. Even Some Suldaans from West Hargeisa had threatened the East Burco guys demanding the it's their turn and they must give the " Hagbad" to Kulmiye. There are huge forces that would not allow change of government. The cable company of ina Aw Said, which is financed by Djibouti banks had spent millions to keep the monopoly. Reliable sources said that in Awdal alone he spent $450,000 dollars. His representatives in Awdal had bought thousands of cards. He paid and moved people from Djibouti and gave them those cards he bought from Awdal. His reps were chased from Rays Hotel and other places openly buying cards from poor people. Dubai World Ports and UAE would not accept any renegotiation or cancelling of their military base. The war in Yemen is getting bad, but the UAE is concentrating to keep South Yemen and Aden in their hands. They even refused the relocation of President Maansour Hadi from Jeddah to Aden. I want to conclude that this election result could have been known just like in most places in the world, and if there was any disputes , recounting would have taken place. Why take six days or even three days?. I think this commission has created a mess. If they have announced the result Tuesday Morning everyone would have swallowed and moved on. If there is dispute, then do recounts. Yet, they tried to be in the news and make useless news conferences to be irrelevant. Rater than act quickly and and get out of the stage, they decided to make the burden of proof bigger. Why even have spokes person. You done your job, people had voted, then announce and disappear. Mr. Iman has created a mess and he does not know how to get out of this mess.

I don't know where you can buy the book, but you can read a great deal of its content here

A little bit of a drama. Hey, you have to have one in these kind of contests. What you just witnessed is that people will not accept cheating, I mean a little bit of cheating here and there is admissible, hey, who says that it doesn't happen in the 1st world either? Ah! Anyway, these few hiccups are part of the learning curve, and definitely what went wrong will be analysed and studied. Hopefully we will learn from it and come next elections, have another wonderful elections. Anyway, things are back on track. Counting in Hargeisa is being done. Stay tuned. Btw, glad to see a lot of good old people smell blood and come from far afield for for a feast. Sorry, Reer Somaliland have a lot of different levels of institutions that they fall back to in times of crisis. And most importantly, even when cheated, they don't employ "Cadaow Ku Cunay ama Ku ciideeyay". Instead, there is always tomorrow.

It has been confirmed that an extensive well planned electoral fraud had take place in Somaliland, especially Maroodi Jeex, Awdal and Saaxil. Preliminary results confirmed by party representatives and local commissioners had changed almost 30% in Awdal. In a disputed election were the margins are small, usually discrepancies are 0.05%. You might reverse few hundred votes or more, but in small station were the number is already small the margin of error is minuscule. In Zaylac district people with no ID cards just crossed from Djibouti and were given voter ID cards and told to vote. According to eye witnesses some of this people have never even seen Lawyacado in their life time. This scheme of stuffing ballots with pre-printed and stamped ballots are a new sophisticated fraud invented by the oligarchs of Hargeisa. Folks, this is not 1969 were One town called Wanla Weyn (A nice town, where I did serve the national service after high school) had more votes than Mogadishu. In the age of modern technologies and internet, these people can not fool anyone. For the sake of peace , harmony, hope and brighter future, the Somaliland government must annul the results of this election and call another one in 90 days. It could be costly, but if these fraud issues persist the cost of in action would be greater than few million dollars. I know the double talking Faisal Waraabe was saying " Habar Yartay Samsam baa lacagtii doorashada bixisay" but we know this election and the equipment was paid by USAID. Mr. Ahmed Siilaanyo, you must remember what former president Rayaale told you in July 2010, when he handed you the leadership: "Waxaan Kugu wareejiyey Dal nabad ah oo wada jooga". Before Siyaad Barre collapsed those who were surrounded by him were his in-laws and family members who were blind sided by power. Maslax, Daffle, Cosoble and Mama Khadaja never told him how things were getting out of hand. I know you are surrounded by the same click as your old teacher, yet I do believe that you have time to right this ship before it sinks with everyone on board. This is not about handing the stick to your tribal tyrants who had intimidated you in order to take the leadership of your party. Deep down you know that Muuse Biixi did not win the party leadership fairly and squarely, but the Somaliland people are bigger and more important than the hostile take over of Kulmiye. The so called tribal alliances have been governing for seven years, and the people are yearning for change. I order for democracy to succeed the gate should be opened for the opposition or this will become a one party tyranny. Markiisa horeba Xalaal kuma iman. Hal Xaaraani nirig Xalaala Ma dhasho. Mr. Siilaanyo, for your own legacy and the hope of the people of Somaliland cancel this election and organize another fair and free election or history will judge you very harshly..

These guys don't look winning, but cheated. 2

If you want anything done well and on time, I ask these Chinese. Good thing they are building Galkacyo one.

I think they have been planing for LONG time, to steal, with biggest drama, and illusion, all the thing the was going was "Smoke and Mirrors" The guys rushing to sell ports, public lands, have no shame, and would steal any election. They knew Wadani has something going for, like these guys are thieves, they sell everything, next they will sell you, it was catch phrase.
