Alahaw nimaan wax ogayn ha cadaabin. Galbeedi ma sidaad jeceshay mise siday tahay. Sidaad jeceshay waad noo sheegtay. Laakin sida waaqica runtu tay waa mid aan adiga kaa farxinahayn oo murugo kuu siyaadin doonta. You can twist your twisted brain anyway you like including trying to involve Ethiopia into the mix. But the truth remains, Somaliland took this action in retaliation for 1. SFG Minister who trespassed into Somaliland borders 2. To send a signal to Farmaajo that he shouldn't even think about crossing the border which was originally part of his plan to meet some elders inside Sool region (Buuro Wadal). The meeting with Farmaajo was held in Garoowe instead after Somaliland's operations. Imika iyo xaal, Ciidanka Qaranku amar waxa lagu siiyay inay fadhiisinta ay joogaan hada hore uga kicin. Laakin hadii wax daandaansi ah kaga yimaado dhanka Puntland, waxay fasax u haystaan inay ilaa xadka tagaan. Hadii Mamulka Puntland joogsan waayo, waxay ka gudbi doonaan xadka oo Garoowe ayaa la isugu tagi doona. Wax walba hada waxay ku xidhanyiin Maamulka Puntland weerar ma soo qaadaya? Jawaabtu waa maya. Halka ay hada joogaan ayay guul u tahay.

Ducale, Awoowe cayda iyo aflagaadada Forumka uma wanaagsanee, ixtirimaaka iyo odaynimada yaan laga tegin. SOL rules prohibit any insult against other SOLers and the mention/insult of Somali clans.

whatever happened we'll come to Burao?

in Somaliland its fairly easy to set up a business. almost every business venture has a very high chance of success and there's a huge demand for bread. now, on the issue of where he got the money to open the bakery, there are all sort of financial arrangements available. the formal and informal financial mechanisms in Somaliland are very advanced. for all we know, he's a share holder and not the owner. the galbeed people in Somaliland are industrious and hardworking. we could learn from their excellent work ethic.

Well done former minister. The South East Asian model, where politicians invest money back in the economy is much better option than the African model.

Amazing! He is finally able to follow his dreams

Holac, On the positive side: 1. For sure he had some money before becoming minister. There is no poor average that becomes minister anywhere in the world. You need to have fairly good job or money to even attend meetings let alone to be connected and famiiliar enough to be minister. 2. He could have saved since most expenses of ministers are paid/reimbursed 3. Someone who has been minister can easily get loans Negative side: Sorry I do not know enough to answer the question, but guess which is never good against character of individual.

The question is, where did he get the money to open a large bakery?

Did the Africa export thing work out @Instinct.Poet ? One would expect lots of Somali Dulaaliin living in Yiwu apartments waiting for a buyer's phone call from Somalia.
