^^ I knew the NGO profiteers get the lion's share of the funds but at least some reach the needy in our country.

What is wrong with you folks? NGOs help the needy people. If you two can give some of your earnings to Somaliland's needy, then I will join your campaign against the NGOs.

Bad mouthing is going to change the reality on the ground. Its good to see reer waqoyi getting back into the political system, I never liked how they have been on the bench for most of somalias recent history. Perhabs after Abdiwelis 2 terms we will see a waqoyi president. No I do not like to bad mouth Puntland, I have no reason for doing that. That comment was just a trick to get your lot shouting.

Somaliland version of not settling for sheek ciyaal is going at it alone- its the only way they can have a piece of the pie without all the chest beating of the clan system. Of course Somaliland and Somalilanders know that and only deluded ones waste money and time trying to compete for presidency and speaker in the Xamar. Although succession gets rid of much of the competition for Somaliland's major clans, its not of course the real reason why we had taken our own separate political path.

^^ No I am not joking because unlike the 1960 fiasco the shiikha maydh clan would not settle for sheeko ciyaaleed but would demand a political system based on one-man-one vote.

^^ Somaliland's major clan would not be small if the former Republic is reunified. Hargeisa alone unlike Puntland's villages boasts more than a million inhabitants. And economically, Mogadishu would be at our mercy too. Our much sought after tax revenues would translate to power. But we do not want a clan tug of war all over again, let them keep all their political posts till the end of time.

It was an immoral and illegal act from the perspective of any right thinking person. Stop making excuses. An attack on a Somali woman so publicly by a mindless gang of Somali men not only warrants serious discussion but calls for soul searching by our entire race. This crime is an indication of a rotting house.

You are dramatising this whole thing Mr Qudhac. I still don't believe Somalis would eat hyena meat. These pictures and videos could be a spoof and those who made them probably were after the hyena for its skin in order to export it as charcoal export is banned by the UN.

Barbarian foqal barbarian!! How could they attack a woman like that just for her political views?? The Somali people's reputation and values are fast disappearing into the drain. May Allah help us.

What happened to professor Samatar and his Hiil Qaran? I thought he was in Mogadisho for business.:confused: I don't know what XX is talking about but anyone who hails from Somaliland and holds a political position in Somalia can not negotiate with us as we will simply put him/her in prison for treason. Remember those guys who were included in Shiekh Shariif's negotiating team?

What sets the leaders of Somaliland apart from the rest of the crowd is that they have substance and the superficial things like appearance and titles do not count much in their priority books. Whether or not our president comes out in macawis and dacas, or a mismatching suit costing $10, he will sleep at night with contentment knowing that the range of policies and programmes he set in motion is being rolled out effortlessly across the nation by our well developed state bureaucracy resulting in Somaliland's continued march forward.

Madawga iyo cadaanku waa dad kala dabeecad ah. That is the problem.

His notions of creation being imagined is just odd and goes against the teaching of our deen. I advise Muslims to take the message in his writings / videos with a pinch of salt. Actually I like his books although I disagree with him when he simply dismisses the theory of evolution on some questionable grounds. However, the idea of creation being just perceptions is not his own but is a centuries old Sufi philosophy. It is indeed a quite fascinating idea and is very difficult to disprove.

^^ Somaliland has its own plans and will take its own development path. The most important foundation in any economy is its political and legal structure and Somaliland is developing in this regard much better than most of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. With solid democratic and legal foundations, Somaliland can only get more confidence from the international investors and governments who dislike the slightest hint of instability. History is littered with examples of nations who spent much time and effort on economic development without addressing the socio-political foundations to support it inevitably resulting in total failure and a restart from scratch. The erstwhile Somali Republic is a fitting example of this case. With the current pace of social, economic, political, and judicial progress by Somaliland without even having the benefits of international recognition, one can only conclude that an internationally recognised Somaliland is the most likely candidate to become Africa's Switzerland.
