Carafaat as for power-sharing Awdal has 4 Ministers and 1 deputy Minister its not bad The entire Sanaag has 3 Ministers and two deputy Ministers. Carafaat they need some more representation when it comes to the director generals but not Ministers. I thought it is based on tribes not on regions...The Awdal clan have only 3 ministers(agriculture, labor and Hawlaha guud 'what is that') and one Vice-minister (Education)... The heads of Police, Armed Forces, Navy, Supreme justice, Parliament, House of Senate, Central Bank, port, Airports, Intelligence agency, all ambassadors and 95% of Government organizations are from the Beelaha Dhexe...is that based on regions too... it is even worse for Eastern clans... Waxa kaliya ee Somaliland la qaybsadaa waa xilal ee maaha hanti , let us remember that What Awdal wants it is not anymore positions than what they deserve... I qoute gaariye..

Well After this I went to Wikipedia to check it out,,,Alas no Tigers in Africa,,I read tigers weigh 300 Kg...The anecdotes I heard are more likely were about Leopards, This incident happened while I was young in our village.. Subax ayaa Waxa geedkii malcaamada Hoosteeda macalimkii ug yimid Shabeel Fadhiya, intuu jaqatfii yareeyay ayuu dib u laabtay oo nin kale soo kaxaystay, Nin kale gudin ayuu haystay, Macalinkii baa yidhi, Shabeelka aniga ayaa galaya oo waan is qabsanaynaa ee markaan addimada hore qabta Adiguna gudinta Madaxa laba kaga kala dhig....Macalinkii wuu qabtay shabeelkii laakiin ninkii kale ayaa naxay oo macalinkii ayaa gudintii madaxa ka saaray, and the macalin lost his life by the hands of his friend.... You cannot fight with a tiger, Also there are many many other anecdotes of men Killing tigers, "Hebel Hebel bari buu shabeel dilay, inta qoorta gu'iisii ku duubtay ayuu,,,,,," Leopards are weaker... Another Proof is the Translation of the Well known theatrical play "Shabeel Naagood" is "Leopard Among the women" , I always thought it was wrong..Now it is right...... Arrogance,,,How come Macalin Guush and Xasan sheekh muumin could be wrong ... Thank you guys, you have corrected me ... I correct my self now.. Harimacad = Cheetah Shabeel = Leopard... I have never seen tigers, But I will always be terrible at differentiating Cheetah from Leopard so I will always call both "Harimacad" .

I don't know if I told this story before but in the days when my Somali was as bad as banana with rice, I was walking down the street with a mate of mine when some strange looking Somali guy (who obviously was on his way home from the mafrash) approached us and walked right into my face! He then took a step back and said "Nin baan ku mooday!". Trust me, if my friend didn't quickly pull me off him, I would have proved to him that I was a man. (yes, yes, I realise what he meant, NOW).

Somalis are unique Ethnicity but not a race,,,, I don't need genetics to know weather someone is Somali or not...Three pieces of information determine weather someone is Somali or not. 1- physical looks of the person 2-Qabiilkiisa 3-Dhaqankiisa , His culture and manners... We are Somalis by those three things,,While not forgetting we are Muslims... A man in the countryside of between Diridhaba and Ayshica was once asked "Soomaalidu waa ayo?" he audaciously replied "aado soomalidu Waa intii muslin ah" Qabiil is the most important, Followed by physical looks lastly culture and manners...

I think it is because of the Blessed Qat....The World should give Qat another Chance,
