That's daily routine in Moghadishu. Nothing knew. We've heard about people killing their parents doing all kind of immoral things. Certainlly everting is possible in Moghadishu.

Don't say that bro cuz you never know. The only hope we've got know is Allah subxaana wa tacaal and not Mr Yeey. Surely we need a strong leader but we don't need a coward who suppresses his people with dictatorial tendencies. However he seems like a capable leader who has certainly proved himself. If he puts his trust with Allah cazza wa jal he will certailnly succeed but time is not with him.

Truly remarkable story. It shows how Blood and family relations can't be ignored. All those years they've been separated and the reunification just great story. It also shows how great leaders were deported from their home country because of their love of their country.

No one is in the mind of Barre Hiiraale and certainly none of us can talk about his intensions. He said in many occasions that he supports the TFS and is working towards establishing the Government in Kismaayo in the surrounding areas. Barre Hiiraale is influential but also is Jaamac Dheere so none of us should stand up for someone because we suppose to know them because they're from our clan. Bro Horn Afrique the same person you support now can turn against you. Stop hating and move one. You're very sensitive person this whole Politics Section isn't suitalbe for you.May I suggest you look for other sections. Politics is hard business no time for emotions especially current Somali Politics which is for Loosers and something you guys should't be involved in. I'am not suggesting that Horn is a minor but this goes for the children, young adolscent in this section. God Bless Somalia, Amiin. Please Forgive me Brothers and Sisters if I've managed to upset and hurt some of your feelings. 100% it wasn't intendent. Wabillahi Towfiiq,

I was really amazed to see the fast development of our home country especially the most peaceful parts of Somalia. Wallahi Somalia is developing fast. Only with peace can development and reconstruction take off. I hope this will encourage our brethren in other hostile parts of the country to recongnise the advancement of their brethren what regards law&order, reconstruction and development and that they fellow their mighty footsteps inshallah. Hope you'll enjoy the videoclips.

Booweyaal I don't know what the fuss is all about. The website says it very clear and you can find out yourself. A little information about Hafz. ABOUT HAFZA LTD. (HAFZA) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAFZA trades under the business name of the Horn of Africa Free Zone Authority. The company is registered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This registration is for the purpose of listing HAFZA on the Toronto Venture Exchange, prior to subsequent upgrading to the Toronto Stock Exchange. The reasoning for planning a listing so early in HAFZA’s operation of HAFZ, is the intent to include initial developers, investors and contractors participating in the development of HAFZ as the initial shareholders in HAFZA during the early days of development. Once HAFZA is a listed and quoted public company, it will give those shareholders, participating in the growth of HAFZ, an exit strategy and/or a potential capital gain on their participation, whilst at the same time enjoying full transparency in the development. HAFZA is to be primarily responsible for maintaining the shareholder register, listing requirements and funding the development of HAFZ. Under HAFZA’s agreement with the Puntland State, HAFZA must establish a branch office at the Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZ) for controlling the development of HAFZ in Puntland. The Branch office shall be a subsidiary company of HAFZA incorporated under the rules and regulations of DAFZ. One of these rules requires that HAFZA must provide the rights for the branch office to operate autonomously from HAFZA. The branch office arrangement at DAFZ has substantial tax benefits to HAFZA under Canadian law. In that regard HAFZA would be totally tax exempt in Dubai and Canada under Dubai and Canadian law for the end benefit of its shareholders by withholding dividends (Grant Thornton): “Business income earned by a foreign affiliate in a non-treaty jurisdiction will be subject to further tax in Canada as those earnings are repatriated as dividends. Credit will be given for any underlying foreign tax paid, so that the additional Canadian tax will only be due to the extent that the Canadian corporate rate is higher than the relevant foreign rate. Note that the earnings are subject to Canadian tax only on repatriation to Canada as dividends so that to the extent the earnings are retained in the foreign jurisdiction, no additional Canadian tax will be triggeredâ€. This tax free status allows HAFZ to be developed to its full asset appreciation thus potentially becoming an asset value to HAFZA in Canada so as to enjoy a market appreciation with its shares when listed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here you can find a draft copy of the terms of the Decree although the full article of the decree shall be published by the Puntland State in due course!!

Suldaanka, You've certainly lost the plot here. You don't seem to know what the actual threat is all about. Hatred must have blinded and corrupted your heart that much that you're willing to discredited and belittle everything in here. Anyway the deal was actually exposed by Cabdiwaaxid Khaliif a Puntlander who is very critical about Pres. Abdullahi Yuusuf Ahmad who was the main brain behind the deal with Horn of Africa Free Zone Authority short (Hafza). Here is the link for more back up reading in SOMALI: http://www.somalitalk.com/2005/feb/9feb805.html My view is that we actullay don't need to transform Haafuun and other parts of Puntland state of Somalia as Free zones and tourist areas. If they want to help us to rebuild our infrastructure such as roads, ports, and airports I would acutally welcome it but i don't want Haafuun or Puntland to be like Dubai where the Kaafirs relax, holiday and do all kind of Fisq and munkar. However if they would to transform Haafuun peninsula as a large tourist attraction then they had to move all the locals away and who would compensate them if they loose their ancestral land where their Fathers and Grandfathers are buried. But inshallah Future will tell!! Lets wait and See. War Jiro Caakiro imaan. Xaafuun sida ay u ekaan doonto marka laga dhigo waxa loogu yeray "Free Zone" oo sharci gooni ahay yeelan doonto, lagana dhigayo meel loo dalxiis tago.... SOURCE: www.hafza.com

I don't think that Puntland is immune to the laws of the federal republic of Somalia in the contrary the agreement with ethiopia was witnessed by the foreign minster of the transtional federal government who was in ethiopia at the same time as the puntland delegation. The agreement was welcomed and facilitated by the transitional government. On the other hand I think that certain people in here are not familiar with the new federal laws. Each state in somalia is allowed to do business with whomsoever it wishes to do trade. We should take as a perfect example the federal republic of Germany. All the sixteen states have got their own police force and one of this states the free-state of Bavaria actually send their Minister-President and a parliamentary delegation (yes each state has got its own parliament) to Russia to do a bilateral business agreement and the delegation was welcomed by President Putin of Russia. Also in Germany the different ministeries of the federal government are distributed right across the coutry and not just only in Berlin (the capital) we actually should fellow their system of federalism. Then the finacne minstery would be in Garoowe, home office and defence ministery in Mogadishu and the health minstery in Kismayo etc. but there is some problems with reer cabdiciise who own the porttown. they want a big share of the taxes and control over the new airport and port. By the way Ambassodor what's your obsession with Reer Garacad calling their port a primitive one and that a certain subclan is against the development of the port and the the wadagsin project because they want a huge share in the tax revenues. Actually Garacad's port is a natural port and if he thinks that it is primitive than fair enough to him. I don't know why he mentions a particular subclan's name in here but isn't it against the rules of SOL. And if they want big shares in the tax revenues so what its their town, port and airport (by the way i don't mean a certain clan) the initiative came from reer garacad and they've been helped by theri cousings. I can't see the problem but we somalis seem to exaggerate alot these days. No bad feelings. Wabillahi towfiiq.

Salaam, Nationalist bro as proud as you're at the wife of your uncle it wont help her case at all because our beloved rasuul peace be upon him said "May Allah subxaanah wa tacaala curse a nation or people who elect a women as the head of their state, President, Governor, Mayor etc. Don't see what happended with the people of Bangladesh they elected a women as president and now they've got floodings and heavy rain thausands die every year! The argumentation brought forward by her is indeed very week because as you know Puntland will be the biggest or at least one of the biggest states in somalia and the president of puntland will have the same power as the president of the federal republic of Somalia except foreign policy and the armed forces i.e. The president of puntland can not single-handed order an invision into Ethiopia! On the contrary it would be unsuitable for her because she would be in a Man dominated area and just imagine she has to have one-to-one consultations with her cabinet ministers and she would also be probably the only female in the feature government of puntland state. I very much applaud her strenght and determination in the last seven years she was an MP. She was also a momentous part of creating the Puntland State of Somalia which was a success. I also admire her role in pacifiying the city of Galkayo and her role in promoting women rights! However it must be said that such high positions are not suitable for women because Allah subxaanah gave the key to Divorce to Men and not Women. why? Because Women are more emotional than Men and their mood also changes quite a lot because of biological differences to Men like the Menstrual cycle etc.

Salaam, Mashallah congratulations to the new suldaan of Nuux Jibrahiil most isms and politician were at the coronation of the new suldaan. We wish him a long life and that he succeeds in bringing the people of puntland and somalia together and that he works for the maslaxa for his subclan and all other clans Ameen! Traditions like this is what makes up our vast culture some people say we haven't got any traditions this again proofs the contrary to that claim.

Salaam, No need for hatred we've had enough of it since the last 30years let alone the last 14years! I rather wished that you (all) would talk more sense! All the other nations are rebuilding and developing their cities and countries infrastructure and we're still showing hate to each other!! No need to call a whole city primitive saaxib. Do you know what primitive is? It's actually you and your friends (don't take it personally) because being tribalist and supporting a Qaabiil who even dosen't know that you exist or not! Mogadishu is quit developed but the gun rules! No justice at all. The person who has got the biggest gun is the biggest in the town. Different Militias fight each other frequently see the happenings at Mogadishu port!! Anyway is really sad to see a glimpse of hope in Mogadishu like the opening of the port and airport destroyed by militias who don't want to see a sign of development such as free trade, law and order and peace.
