Peace will prevail and there will be a political compromise. Politics is not about winning and scoring goals, but creating the possible through a proces of debate, dialogue, negoitiaten and I think we are now in the middle of the process of establishing one anothers position. wich we know by now. Lets move on to the next phase, me thinks.

Amazing, indeed we need to visualise a better future and a better vision of what we can become, if we want our people to talk steps forward.

Good read. Absolutely agree with the author. What is more desturbing is that this political formula based on clan animosities is not new and has often been used with succes. And that it clearly works everytime, and opposition to this formula stands is futile. Only way we can overcome this strategy based irrationality is that we(silent majority) form strong bridges of reason based on the common good and common(own) interest.

This and the previous lousy minister-ku-sheeg don't have a clue what they are doing. They fail even when it comes to the most simple of things. There is simply no-one in charge of the place. Anyone can walk in and out. There are no structures, rules, processed or policies. The families of the employees live in the'airport'. Simple painting and organising of the interior is apparently too difficult to manage. The 'employees' do what they want when they want - they close the place when they want. Corruption is the going process - everything is trumped by the dollar. Standards are non-existant. SMH. There is a very simple failure of organisation and management. I don't know what this 'minister' wastes his time doing because I cant think of what it is he does 365 days a year. Now he has apprently brought an old second hand computer-screen and some scanning machines and this is a "massive upgrade". Its a disgrace - notwithstanding the meagre resources, the place can do much better. Oday, I have been visitng the country on regular basis since 2000 and one thing that improved considerebly are the Airports. I have made used of Hargeysa, Burco, Berbera, Erigavo and Bosasso Airports. And all of these airports management has improved considering that most local staff and management(except for this current Minister) cant travel to other Airports and dont have much reference like you and me can, nor benchmark. And considering they dont manage their own air space or receive the tax income from it, which went to ICAO. ICAO received millions from the IATA and it was mandated to manage air control and airports in Somalia, but it hardly invested and even prevented the development of Somali aiports, till Somaliland previous Minister for Airports has closed their Hargeysa office and took back control of SL Airports. thats was in 2007 and when actually the development of these airports started. Dont blame the Somali admins sxb, they are doing their best with little capacity. And I am sure they can use any advice, support and help. people cant t

MMA, we should start online campaign to have af maay maay as second language in the Somali constitution. More people speak Maay maay then arabic or english. If only the most important goverments document would be available in Maay Maay it would give a boost to emanicipation and participation of whole regions. At least this was the case in countries where they strong regional dialects like Spain(Catalan and Bask country). And one would get more information on what plays in those regions. inaa Maxaa tiriga oo kale la xamaniyo.

Nowadays more Somalis speak English than Arabic. Post the rest of the constitution in short sections and we will put forward our input. Af maay maay should be second language. more Somali's speak maay maay then english or arabic.

Sir, I approve your comment. see how you already have earned a green stripe.

XX, i dont care how to call Airports. The airport here is called Schiphol(pronounced like Shqqqqiphul). As long as people agree what to call it. Remember how Hargeysa municibility wantd to call a certain neighbourhoud and it changed after some people protested. I was there during the protest. the goverment withdraw its propobosal very quickly.

No wo(man) more for fitted for the job the you. Tell us abaayo, how would your ideal clan balanced SOL cabinet look like. Who would you appoint on which post? Some recommendations? -My uncle Xaaji Xunjuf should definetly get the Chairmenship of the Guurti. No SOL'er can better explain complication issue's in pundits and knows Somali clan linages, history and villages and deegaans. He can create conflict and settle them as no other. Our Ideal most senior Somali traditional elder. - General Duke and fellow Mudugian should definetly get the Ministry for Information. Through Somalia no better men to inform, disinform the masses then the General. From Waqoiye, to Bari, to Mudug all the way to Jubba's. No man can better rally, campaign and translate politics to the common men then Duke. -Abtigiis defintly Min of Culture. Keep him away from weapons, foreigners(Ethiopians), youth, women, for he then can become. Lethal to your goverment and himself. Leave him with actors, singers, authors. Keep him enternaied and let him entertain crowds in theaters. -Xiinfaniin,Would definetly be a good Prime Minister. And he is not a danger to your goverment either,not to ambitous and is not a clannist. And if is he half the loyal and hard working for your goverment as he has done for Puntland. Then he will definetly be the central, balanced figure who can head your cabinet. Very traditional, respectfull towards women, will never Dare to oppose you in public and neither will turn against a women. You dont need to feara coupe d'etats with Xiin, no harmfull figure. -Miskiin, Macruuf and Akhyaar. Minister for Social Development. Good attena for social development and society related issue. Hart on the right place and compassion for all. -Chimera, Min of Urban Planning and Infrastructure, wiill turn Somalia in to an Indian Ocean/Red Sea paradise with the best of east and west, oriental and africa, holiday country and same time urban thriving cities. -Qandalawi: Minister of Fisheries and Sea's.knows fish very well. -Fiqiyare: Min of Oil and Resource. -Oodweyneh, Ambassador to the Commenwealth and the UK. Definetly he should be close to the Queen and Mi6. No better poker player against those British ninies. Even impresses the House of Lords and charms and seduces every old Baronesses when needed for the country. -Ngonge, Ambassador to Arab League. As ciyaal arab knws the arab the best. And with the arab spring no better attena and strategist to have between these arabs then Ngong e. He can apply his clan is everything divide and rule tactics on these Arabs. His Arab Predicaments can come very usefull when getting investments from arab rulers. -Juxa, Chair of Parliament. Honoust, balanced, multi tasker, authority, wise chair who is acceptable for all the blocks and opposition as well. Nice to talk to during and jit jit during breaks in Parliament debates. She can discuss kids kiapers, int law and the new movie from Denzel in same conversation. -Jaceylbaro, Definetly not include in your cabinet. Prefers to lead the oppositoion formed by the secessionist blocks. But with all the Bacaaaccc's from JB on your policies, your goverment is safe for re-election coming decad e. -Opposition includes: Shababist boys like Che, Maddeey, jiilow.

Consist of Saalax(President), Liibaan(VP), Akash(FM), A_Khadar(Parlimant chair), Naasir (Guurti), Aaliyah(Min of Religional Affairs), Taleexi(Min for Myi and regional issue). -Puntland provincial Governor(Dr.Osman). -Azania Governor, Zack,Gaabal(vice Governor). -Banadir Governor, Cambuulo iyo Bun. -Central Governor, Faarax Brown. -Southern Somalia Governor, STOIC Puntlanders should be awarded extra cabinet seats and chairmen ships, to tone down their Presidential ambitions and regional dominance. Somalilanders should get the most Ambssadors, keep their talks and sheeko far away from Muqdisho and Hargeisa. And so they can explain tthemseleves why Somaliland should and cant secessede from Somalia. So far my recmmendations. Please add and tell us how you would fill those positions to make Somalia the best country in Africa by 2025. General will be scrabed from Somaina's list of potential cabinet members. He will be replaced by Somalia.

Its abaayo Somalina. She didnt tell me she was so cute.

Abaayo isbedelka Somalia iyo SOL waa la sidaa wadaa noooh. cidna looma joojinaayo.

Ngonge are you going for only a week to Hargeysa? Waste of ticket, you should fo for atleast 4 weeks. Or come to holland and bring your kids.

Some folks really need to some reading on oil exploration and production, before their waste time on a such futile activities and deceive the masses with resource and wealth fevers.

I recommend working from home or your holiday location.

Good afternoon. Its nice and sunny today. I remember this somali joke from an oday saying. 6 months of the years the Dutch trees are naked, 6 months their women are naked. Well, its that time of the year again.

I used to think these bottem up constructed states could work. But boy I was wrong.

I have a big head as well.
