In a dry region like Puntland and Somaliland where most of the trees were destroyed for charcoal production, heavy rains and storms usually wash away the top soil of the grazing lands exacerbating the desertification process.

Oh I saw the admin's post now. Thanks for the update.

This crazy woman should just quietly loot what is left of the charity money in koonfuria's central bank with the prolific looters in the scene and leave Somaliland alone.

Is SOL hacked or is it falling apart? Something has been wrong with this website for a while now and it just got worst today. Please give us some update and news admin.

There's especially an issue because she has two young children who are 3 and 5 years old. My cousin has never been married, never been in any sort of relationship, he's well-educated and a practicing Muslim. He has all the qualities that women would want in a potential spouse. And he's fallen for this woman due to her charming personality and her good looks. She herself is also well-educated. She's 1 year younger than he is (27 years old) When he first told me about his interest in this lady, I was 100% in favor for it, and I still am. She's absolutely fantastic. But many of the people are opposed to this, and they think it's "unfair" for the man to be with a woman who was divorced with kids, while he himself has never been in a relationship What do you think? How do I go about convincing the others to go ahead with this engagement? Tell your cousin to follow his heart. He should politely urge anyone who interferes in his private life to mind their own business.

A slow-moving tropical storm pounded the Somalia coast this weekend, a rare hit for the war-torn country that killed more than 100 people and devastated coastal communities. The unnamed tropical storm made landfall on Sunday (Nov. 10) north of Eyl in the Puntland state, a semiautonomous region that typically receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain every year. The storm, designated Tropical Cyclone 03A, was forecast to dump a year's worth of rain on Puntland this week and hit the shore with winds of 46 mph (74 km/h). Weak storms such as Cyclone 3A can wreak havoc along the arid African coast because they trigger flash floods, said Amato Evan, an atmospheric scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. "Even a very weak storm can cause huge damage and loss of life in this area," Evan told LiveScience. "In an area that doesn't receive a lot of rainfall in general, a storm that moves very, very slowly and dumps a lot of rain in one place for a long time can be particularly deadly." The Puntland government said preliminary information indicates that homes, buildings, boats and entire villages have been destroyed and more than 100,000 livestock lost, endangering the livelihoods of tens of thousands of local people. Evan said only one or two tropical cyclones strike Somalia every decade, but records only go back for about 30 years. However, the intensity of storms in the Arabian Sea appears to be increasing due to aerosol pollution. (Aerosols are very tiny particles or droplets that result from burning wood or dung, car exhaust and natural sources such as trees.) Though the warm Arabian Sea is fertile ground for birthing tropical storms, budding weather systems rarely strengthen into powerful cyclones because of the region's prevailing wind shear conditions. During the monsoon season, strong winds blow eastward near the ocean surface and westward higher in the atmosphere, Evan explained. "The wind shear makes the Arabian Sea a hostile environment for storms to form," Evan said. "That kind of change in wind direction can tear a storm apart." But Evan and his colleagues discovered that rising aerosol pollution, which blocks incoming sunlight, has weakened the Arabian Sea's wind pattern. Without the destructive winds, cyclones are growing stronger, according to the researchers' study, published Nov. 2, 2011, in the journal Nature. "We don't have the evidence to say the storms are becoming more frequent, but their intensity is getting stronger," Evan said. http://www.sott.net/article/268647-Deadly-rare-tropical-cyclone-hits-Somalia

The current cyclone as reported by NASA. Watch the similarities. http://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/3a-north-indian-ocean/

The typhoon which has devastated Puntland in the last couple of days is in a series of weather systems forecasted by NASA and all originating in the waters of the Indian ocean off our coast. The link below shows the 2010 cyclone which hit the same region was very similar to the current one indicating that a disturbing pattern is indeed developing.

Whether they are in Mogadishu, Kismaayo, or in this case Hargeisa, Somalis kill(or try to kill) each other for the most ridiculous of reasons. Many Somalis seem to have lost their faith Allah.

The lack of coverage was not out of indifference but due to lack of any information from those affected regions. The news is only now beginning to come through.

I wish the government of Somaliland invested in the construction of reservoirs to collect the seasonal water from the dry rivers. We are wasting a precious resource:(

The police should ban all those crazy boys from approaching the banks and the bridges should be closed to the public. The structural integrity of the banks and the bridges can be compromised by the powerful torrents so those areas should be a no go zone for the ignorant public.

Offering schooling to just 80 children is disheartening for Aliya, however without government accreditation for her NGO, the school will not be allowed to open at all. Aliya belongs to one of the most influential clans in Mogadishu and using her name to get what she needs is a contentious issue. Today many people associate clanism with the discrimination, suffering and violence that was part of Somalia's long civil war. Thanks for sharing this video. It is so sad the sisters had to reluctantly resort to using their clan connections just to get a minister's signature. If the SFG is this corrupt and shameless, I fear there is nothing but more trouble for the South. May Allah help the poor and the weak in that human jungle.

Ps: In their own land as in NFD, the camps where the refugees live are Somali Lands, like Somaliland, Djibouti, Soimali Galbeed, these are lands that belong to Somalis. In 1988 the refugees fleeing Siyaad Barre's murder squads would gladly disagree with you. Although those refugees fled the Somali Republic and headed into their own hawd territories, they were technically in Ethiopia. The thin invisible line that separated Ethiopia from the Somali Republic was precious. Back then the children, mothers, and the frail old people running for their dear lives would rather have that line of control between the two nations much closer to Hargeisa and Burco.
