This is great improvement.The land database in Somaliland has been a consistent headache and cause for a lot of troubles including missing files, disputes etc. The introduction of GIS system will greatly simplify while at the same time is more secure and more reliable.

Meanwhile in Somaliland...

Oodweyne, Glad to see you all. It’s been a while since I last checked sol but it took a pandemic and lockdown in NYC To return me back to it. I saw the posts and most are positive banter but this fellow was always outright negative and talking from where one Normally does not associate speech with. It made me question why knowing full well our camels don’t graze with the few they have and no recorded history of animosity between them and us except when Riyaale expelled en masse the hundreds of beggars from his hometown. That’s when I came to the conclusion Maybe this must have hit hard the city and local economy And he just can’t get over it but 20 years as an awfully long time to carry a grievance and he might, MIGHT just die not with the shahadah like a normal Muslim would but with Burn mirqaanland on his lips instead .

Hello; Roughly 20 years ago I remember this beggar from Baidoa nearly lost it when President Riyaale expelled from Somaliland a couple of hundred Professional beggars from Baidoa and it seems he’s still bitter about it. Sadly in my absence from SOL no one bothered to set him straight so I will try to play the devils advocate here and break the sad news to him knowing fully well how obstinate beggars are. President Biixi does not chew qaad, smoke or drink. I know your beggers mind can’t and won’t grasp that but it’s a FACT. However I can’t say the same for your Fellow beggars back home in Baidoa and among the few in the diaspora. 75% of the income your folks earn begging in Mogadishu is spent on those 2 vices. both alcohol and qaad have become a favorite pastime in Baidoa enjoyed by many of the locals. Even the former chief beggar Jawari was an alcoholic. Excuse me if I forgot my manners but one can’t but help kick an obtuse beggar once in a while. good to see the old folks who I knew from many many years ago btw.

There are 20k+ at least foreign troops in the country. Interference??

Maakhir don't be silly do you think Somalilanders care for meaningless positions in the bunker govt. We have known farmaajos policy since he came to power. Starting from the livestock sabotage when he send his minister middle in the night to Saudi. Followed by his attempt to stop the Berbera port investment by the UAE. All of his efforts failed though. He tried so hard to create a rift between Ethiopia and Somaliland. Abiye Ahmed a man new to Ethiopia and the region now hated by his own oromo the most. Was his last hope to damage Somaliland. But it seems abiye has problems at home and with Egypt. Interesting times.

This is the difference between being the master of your own destiny and decisions vs sitting on the passenger side of your own destiny and decisions.

Guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka Puntland, Cabdirashiid Yuusuf Jibriil ayaa u sababeeyey inay laalaan heshiiska maadaama aanan maxaabiista fursad loo siin racfaan markii xukunada lagu ridayey taasina ay tahay cadaalad darro. Ugu dambayn baarlamaanka Puntland ayaa guddi farsamo u saaray ka shaqeynta siideynta maxaabiista loo heysto burcad-badeednimada ee ku xiran xabsiyadda Puntland. Horseed Media

Time and tide wait for no man. Great progress, should help minimize disputes over ownership of land / property.

Ethiopia will be upgrading its consulate in Hargeisa.

The truth remains, Somaliland is the only consistent force for peace in the Horn of Africa. In the case of Sanaag, the killers are finding sanctuary inside Garowe. Go figure.

Beautiful country. But bad roads.
