They are among the worst kind of nationalists too. Its amazing how the East Europeans completely changed their values in a relatively short period of time after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Still, it makes me wonder if luxury cars can cope with the dodgy Somali roads in a "new" Somalia! That is a typical excuse to brush a social issue under the carpet. Environmental protection and preparations for a possible climate change in the Horn of Africa is a rich man's academic exercise as well.

Oh my God!! Shanghai is coping Babylon by building skyscrapers.

Morality has its foundations in religion but yes you can be moral and irreligious. My atheist Somali friend is more morally upright than the hordes of wadaad isku sheeg who are illegally claiming all sorts of social security benefits in the UK.

The Khaakh village fiefdom is nothing more than a daydream project peddled by bored qurbo meer folks like the lady commenting above and so is going nowhere God willing. It will be added to the growing heap of discarded useless projects born out of the hallucinations of revellers spinning on a Western dance floor.

Every small business in the country should pay up to 10% tax. Medium sized businesses should foot 15%. Larger companies like Dahabshiil, Daallo, African Express, Jubba Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, SomTel, Indhadeero, and Daryeel should pay at least 20% of their gross income from Somaliland in tax. High earners and remittances greater than $100 should also be taxed. It is about time the government takes its duty seriously and collects proper tax.

He is earning his living by halaal means and hard work instead of robbing other people's properties in the high seas like most of the so called "Bosaso citizens" do on daily basis. By the way, is the Youtube clip recorded from the reporter's prison cell? That hellhole must have suffocated him. Also the investment you are going on about is guarded by South African mercenaries hired by the oil firm and is located in an isolated stretch of desert hundreds of kilometres from any civilization. Therefore, there is no need for foreign reporters to venture out there to experience how "safe" Puntland is.

Maashaa Allah. This festival is shaping up to become a genuine international event like the Cannes Film Festival.

The capital should be moved to Laas Caanood. The people of that city showed the middle finger to the tsunami of tribalism coming from Taleex.

Burn Notice;850869 wrote: THE UNITED NATIONS’ BOGUS MONITORING REPORT ON SOMALIA by DISSIDENT NATION on JULY 14, 2012 in POLITICS with 2 COMMENTS In its latest monitoring report on the status of Somalia’s weapons embargo, the United Nations’ task force for Somalia and Eritrea used their time and resources to deliver a grossly biased and incomplete report. At the head of this botched report is Matthew Bryden, a partisan pseudo-authority on Somalia who holds a passport to the unrecognized territory of Somaliland and serves as the coordinator of the monitoring group. The UN’s latest monitoring reports have been particularly tainted with bias, but the newest offering takes the cake, and should be enough to cast the mission aside as a joke. A rabid bias The latest monitoring report came to light just before its release some weeks ago during an anti-piracy conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It was rumored at that conference that the upcoming monitoring report on Somalia would be heavily biased against Puntland, and for no particular reason. Coordinator Bryden is no friend of Puntland, or Somalia, and it was hinted in Dubai that he would portray Puntland as menacing as he could, even at the cost of the truth. By the time of the Dubai-based conference in June, Bryden had already found a way to place pressure on the UAE to pull funding to Somalia’s only major internal anti-piracy program–the Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF). By June, Puntland had already cleansed most of its coastal communities of its pirate plague and had launched the nation’s largest piracy rehabilitation program. The anti-piracy program was so successful that Fox News host and former US military man Oliver North traveled to Puntland to survey the forces some consider to be Somalia’s only answer to piracy. To the luck of Somalis and the misfortune of pirates, Puntland was able to bypass Bryden’s bias and has been promised further funding from the UAE and the international community in its assault on piracy. As I type, the PMPF are pursing the kidnappers of an NGO team in the town of Galkayo. If Bryden had his way, the families of these NGO workers would be waiting quite a while longer for relief. After bypassing one stretched accusation after another against the Somali anti-piracy program in Puntland, you will find not a single damning criticism against Somaliland, not even so much as a word on possible corruption. In the past year, Somaliland’s security forces have engaged in repeated violent skirmishes against local militias in the Sool and Togdheer provinces, with some attacks so intense that it caught the attention of Amnesty International. Even Somaliland’s year-long military exchange did not sound off alarms of a possible arms embargo violation to Bryden, whose wife’s family is coincidentally located in the Somaliland capital. When the report named off the Somali figures accused of corruption, the entire region of Somaliland was conveniently skipped over. Missing in the report were any mentions to public mismanagement in Somaliland despite a 2009 report by UAE’s The National newspaper that cited food aid theft and diversion in Burao, Somaliland’s second-largest city. Forgotten still, perhaps deliberately, was the recent court case in the Somaliland capital Hargeisa that saw harsh execution sentences handed out to 17 individuals belonging to the same marginalized clan. Questionable sources A large number of the sources Bryden uses in the report lead to defunct webpages, making verification impossible in several circumstances. When reporting on Puntland’s anti-terror operations, he uses sources like Galgala News, which was once the mouthpiece of Al-Shabaab weapons provider Mohamed Said ‘Atom.’ Bryden also admits to using non-local sources to report on Puntland, citing a lack of access to the region. The monitoring group’s source of choice for Puntland is Somalia Report, a small blog whose often dubious headlines have forced them to pull stories and make numerous apologies. In one instance he condemns the Puntland leader’s son for corruption yet uses a mouthpiece owned by the same individual as his source–clearly, Bryden is desperate to make any case he can. The truth Somalia’s Puntland-based anti-piracy program is the most effective tool yet in the fight against the criminal plague along Somalia’s shores, and Puntland arguably faces the largest number of internal and external threats from both militants and pirates today, and needs a proper security force to tackle these issues. Since 2004, Puntland has been the greatest sacrifice to the stabilization effort of Somalia, and without it the nation and world would be in grave danger from a myriad of threats now contained mostly to Somalia and being squeezed out even more every day. While this report may largely be toothless, at least we hope, it has threatened both the sovereignty of Somalia as well as its security and the security of the global community by scrutinizing Somalia’s defense capabilities. While the embargo may still serve its use in this transitional phase in Somalia, it should be used sparingly and only against unruly factions–not the groups trying to stabilize Somalia. Reasons why the international community will not believe in the piece of garbage you posted here: 1. The report is for SOMALIA and NOT for other countries. 2. Those accused of corruption in Somaliland are already on trial and facing judge and jury to the amazement and admiration of the world. 3. The 17 accused anarchists are not from a marginalised clan as there are no marginalised clans in Somaliland, hence the writer's claim is a blatant lie. 4. There are no internal conflicts in Somaliland to warranty any kind of news whatsoever.

I predict a riot now that the Khuukh village council is raiding poor people's pockets.

This is not news. Everyone knows the TFG is corrupt to the core. Every now and then we keep hearing about missing millions and by now I am already used to it as an unavoidable package that comes with the koonfurian politicians.

Never been there, but since childhood Boosaaso was one of my favourite coastal towns and wanted to visit it.

Is this SOL's NATO club? If things get heated up here, I might eventually send in my membership application.

Abtigiis is right. The Ministry of Education should produce a history syllabus for the nation’s school children which teaches Somali history as it happened. Let Somaliland’s students learn that the Mad Mullah and his barbaric gang were nothing more than an outlawed twentieth century Al Shabaab, and that Afwayne was the father of political tribalism and a mass murderer who was blindly supported by his entire extended D clan to commit a genocide against some of their fellow Somalis. The truth must be told indeed.

Awalba waan ogaa inay Shuun koonfur dhibaatada haysata kow katahay.

Its important that both the foreigners and the Somali people are given the freedom to choose and practice whichever religion they fancy in the Somali peninsula. Why should anyone be intimidated and forced to remain Muslim if they no longer believe in Islam? Shouldn't it be better if all Somalis were encouraged to be open about their true believes so that those who harbour doubts about Islam are given proper dacwa? Allah says in the Quran that there is no compulsion in religion and so there should be no compulsion in religion.

This guy should be stripped off his job in the Somaliland parliament and given to someone else. He completely neglected his duty which is to serve the interests of the people of Somaliland by enabling MPs to enact legislations and hold the government to account. All he cares about is his chance of becoming the next president of the republic. If he succeeds and is elected, I don't think he will be any better than the hordes of self-serving politicians clogging the streets of Hargeisa. The people of Somaliland should wake up and demand the resignation of this selfish man from his vital role. Also, in the future no elected politician serving his/her term should be allowed to embark on time consuming political campaigns like this whilst they still hold office.

Yoga/Pilates is a good workout for your body mind and soul it also reduces the effects of stress. It's a intensive workout for your muscles and you literally train every muscle in your body no muscles get isolated. If you train all of your muscles equally your gonna lose weight faster then when you focus on one part of your body like the stomach and isolate the other muscles. The second thing you could try out is swimming you get the same benefits as with Yoga/Pilates in that it also trains every muscle in your body but with the added benefit of cardio. You can even try out one of those swimming cardio workouts where they do workouts in the water which makes you burn even more calories then swimming alone. Swimming is a power fat burner best believe. To lose weight you need to do cardio for example walking, football, swimming or cycling etc. just anything that raises your heart rate. You also need to build muscles as the more muscles you have the more calories you burn even when your doing nothing as fat doesn't burn calories and that's where the Yoga/Pilates workout come in. I swear by this regime it works. Good luck with your decisison. Yoga!! Miyaanaad Ilaahay ka cabsanahayn?
