Interesting intervieuw. Thanks for posting Zack. The man Geedi is an interesting figure. He seems to potray a strange form of realism with complete lack of any idealism for Somalia. he further potrays that he lacks trust in fellow Somalis. On every single issue mentioned, he choose the vieuw of the foreign perspective and soly blaming Somalia for any discord.

Thanks for posting. What does this app exactly do?

Good to know. I think fasting also strengthens ones one will of power, sekf control and self discipline.

Somalis have their own stories that can be turned in to a musical. Like Cilmi Boodheri, Xaawo Taako, etc. Is the theater construction almost finished?

It doesnt mean the word is Italian, but how its writteb is Italianised. Just like England, New Sealand, Swaziland, Puntland, Somaliland come from the British synthax. It doesnt mean Punt, Swazi or Somali are English names. The arabic synthax for Somaliland is 'Ardul Somal'. Somalia: The Dutch synthax is Somalie. The Czech synthax is Somalsko. The Croation synthax Somalija. The Somali synthax for Somalia is Soomaaliya. The Somali synthax for Somaliland would be Dhulka Soomaliyeed.

Why meet in Nairobi and not in Mogadishu, Kismayo or Galkacyo.

Meeting in Nairobi(Kenya) to oppose a Mogadishu(Somalia) based goverment. These guys should Be arrested the moment they enter Somalia for treason.

Xaaji, most Puntlanders are to happy Farooles fake electiond didnt take off. Question is how will the opposition remove him.

Afur wanaagsan.

Zack, you still haven't addressed the issue of charcoal? So what is your view on this? give us your perspective. Do you think the charcoal export should continue? Dont try to distract with Jubbaland ha no laato, kpmg accountant reports on central bank iyo other issues non related to this thread.

I have read the articles written about this report. And it didn't say that the Somali National Bank was corrupt and fraud. It said the government used the Bank as a 'slush fund', because the proper accountability and check and balances were not in places. I am sure this will have consequence for the government to put a proper system in place. At the end of the day, the government cant ignore its donors requirements and the UN's claims. So, what consequence will this have for the charcoal export and Kenya?

Dr.Osman, what is your analysis of all this? And where to go from here?

Somalia, if the people of Puntland rejected Faroole's version of governance, what makes you think the rest of Somalia will welcome it?

Zack, the Kenyans are part of AMISOM troops and thus funded by those same UN donors. Dont you think Kenya will feel the pressure to stop the export of the charcoal now or they mights risk their fundings will be cut off?

Somalia;968752 wrote: Carafaat, elections were not scheduled to take place as said and was planned on being postponed when these riots happened, and it gave Faroole the opportunity to cancel them all together. Ballot boxes are not sent out to towns 3-7 days before the elections but that takes careful planning for months. The people protesting are not doing it because it's a scam but for self-entitlement and spoiling and they aren't a large group of opposition, they could easily be dispersed and these two towns have now created unnecessary chaos needed for some people. If elections were scheduled to happen they would have occurred as planned but it was never the intention this time around. In Sanaag half a dozen boxes were sent, for what? Somalia, I forget to include Iskushuban and Bursaalax where the people also burned the ballox boxes. In Buhoodle people demonstrated against these elections as well. Make that 5 cities then. Bursaalax today Buhoodle demonstration against these elections

Zack, any comments on the content of this thread?

It was our understanding that Interpeace is an independent and international peace building organization which promotes societies to manage conflict without resorting to violence. However, your current democratization project is being grossly abused by Puntland Administration and it is not totally in line with Interpeace’s philosophy and the principle of “Do No Harm” as well. Indeed, the current project does more harm than good. The operations in Puntland of farce election have caused 6 deaths and 25 wounded in Galkayo while more than four times Gardo has been at the edge of total war. The fighting in those two towns have caused high tensions in all Puntland areas. Countless human history events proved that there are many examples where farce has changed into tragedy. This press release by the below signatories of prominent personalities of Puntland is urging Interpeace to stop its operations labeled as democratization but are in reality triggering bloodshed. This Appeal is issued by prominent personalities from all regions and social sectors of Puntland comprising members from traditional elders, business people, politicians, intellectuals, religious leaders, and civil society activists.

Somalia, its ramadan and I don't want to engage in any personal attacks. But I want to respond on your comparisement that I think is rather wrong on all fronts. Because the chaos and violence in Puntland was not because the elections were delayed, but because people didn't want these "scam" election to take place. From Galkacyo to Qardho it lead to violance, killings and many wounded. Fears of violance in Badhan, Buuhoodle, Bosasso and other places. And even people burning the ballot boxes. don't try to spin this issue, but rather address the underlying issue. " frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> Qardho this morning Galkacyo this morning

Mintid, Indeed you were right. Reading the above comments, its quite obvious certain SOL'ers from a particular corner tried to downplay the issue, even ridicule it, accusing the poster of this thread or distorting the whole issue.
