Wasiirkii waxbarashada C/raxmaan Daahir Cismaan wuxuu u dambeeyey tiro wasiirro ah oo soo maray xukuumadda ra’iisul wasaare Xasan Cali Khayre, kuwaasoo xilliyo kala duwan xilalka laga qaaday, ama iska casilay. Sida ay sheegeen wasiirada qaar oo xilka laga qaaday, waxaa jiray balanqaad loo sameeyay oo ahaa in ay waqtiga isla dhamaysan doonaan xukuumadda. Hase yeeshee tiro ka 7 wasiir ayaa laga qaaday xilalkii ama laga eryey wasaaradihii ay hayeen ayadoo aan la sheegin sababta. Tiradaas waxaan ku jirin wasiirradii iyo wasiir ku xigeennadii baneeyey boosaskooda, si ay ugu tartamaan jagadii guddoomiyaha baarlamaanka, Wasiir Cabaas Siraaji oo Muqdisho lagu dilay iyo wasiirad Maryan Qaasim oo is casishay. Dadweynuhu xaq ma u leeyihiin inay ogaadaan sababta loo eryayo wasiirrada? Su’aasha ugu weyn ee ay dadku is weydiinayan waxay tahay miyeynaan xaq u lahayn in aan ogaanno sababta wasiirro intaa le’eg loo eryey ama ay uga tageen shaqadii ay qaranka u hayeen?. Weli lagama jawaabin su’aashaas, laakin Maxamed Caalin oo ka faallooda arrimaha Soomaaliya wuxuu qabaa in hawshaas ay baarlamaanka u taallo. “Sida dastuurku dhigayo, waxaa matala wakiillo baarlamaan. Hadduusan baarlamaanku la hadli karin oo uusan su’aashaas weydiin karin ra’iisul wasaaraha, hadde shacabku afarta sano inta ay ka dhamaanayso uun bay sugayaan” ayuu yiri. Wuxuu dareen ka muujiyey tirada sii kordhaysa ee wasiirrada xafiiska ka tagaya ama laga eryayo muddadii sannad iyo barka ahayd ee ay dawladdu jirtay. Wuxuu barbar dhigay dawladihii ka horreeyey oo uu sheegay in heerkan aysan gaarsiisnayn, wuxuuna u aanaynayaa isagoo tusaale u soo qaatay wasiirkii waxbarashada ee u dambeeyey wasiirrada la eryey, in uusan jirin dulqaad siyaasadeed oo hadal uu wasiirku sheegay, markii dambena uu raalli galin ka bixiyey uu sababsaday. “Khaladkan oo kale cidna ma caawinayo, wasiirkii ma caawin, xukuumaddii ma caawin, wasiir cusub oo la keenana wuxuu u baahan yahay inuu hay’adihii kala barto” ayuu yiri Caalin. Wuxuu tilmaamay Ra’isulwasaaraha iyo madaxweynaha ay horay u balanqaadeen xasilooni siyaasadeed “Xukuumad ballanqaadyo samaysay oo sheegtay in ay koox ahaan u wada shaqaynayso oo aqoonyahanno leh, haddana dadkii xukuumaddu keentay sida Maryan, wasiir Juxa, Yuusuf Garaad ay qaar yiraahdaan nidaam darro ayaan shaqada uga tegey, qaarna ay yiraahdaan ma aynaan ogayn waa dhaqan ku cusub xukuumadda Khayre, mas’uuliyadana waxaa iska leh wasiirka 1aad. dadku waxay dusha u saaraan Madaxweynaha. Hadday xukuumaddu najaxdo iyo hadday shaqayn waydo labada ra’iisul wasaaraha ayaa iska leh” ayuu sii raaciyey. Maxay tahay sababta aan loo sheegin xil ka qaadidda wasiirrada? Maxamed Caalin wuxuu qabaa in arrintaas uu madaxweynuhu ka gaabiyey. “Waxay noola muuqataa in madaxweynuhu uusan door weyn ku lahayn inuu ilaaliyo maadaama uu yahay hay’adda ugu dambaysa ee waddanka xagga sharciga marka laga fiiriyo. Arrinta madaxweynaha ayey u taallaa inuu baaritaan ku sameeyo oo mas’uuliyadiisa ka soo baxo” ayuu yiri. Ma ahan oo kaliya wasiirada xilka laga qaaday, ee waxaa kale oo jira waxyaabo kale oo tiro badan oo dalka ka dhaca oo aanan la sharixin sababtii ay ku dhaceen. Mala oran karaa waa falsafad siyaasadeed oo u degan dowladda hadda jirta?. Taasi waa su’aal aanan durba laga jawaabi karin, maluhuna waqtiga ka jawaabi doono.

At least one police officer was killed and two others sustained serious injuries while another three are missing after a vehicle they were travelling in was ambushed by al-Shabab militants in the coastal Lamu county on Thursday, police said. Coast Regional Police Commander Noah Mwivanda confirmed the incident in Milihoi area, which paralyzed transport in the region. There were six police officers in the vehicle, he said. Mwivanda said Somali militants ambushed the police officers who were returning to their camp in Mpeketoni after regular patrols in al-Shabab-prone areas. He said the ambush prompted a fierce gunfight with insurgents, who later vanished into the forest. “Our officers have been injured and might need referrals,” he told Xinhua by phone. The police commander said two officers have been hospitalized while the search for the other three is ongoing. A Kenya Red Cross official who requested anonymity said that the attack has paralyzed operations along Garsen-Lamu Road. All public service vehicles from Mombasa to Lamu are stuck at Mkunubi area while commuter buses from Lamu have been barred from leaving. Hundreds of passengers were stranded on the road as security forces engage the militants in heavy shootout. Al-Shabab militants have changed tactics and resorted to using improvised explosive devices to carry out attacks in parts of the coastal and northeastern regions, according to police. The militant group is believed to have fighters operating in the area’s Boni forest that has poor communication network and terrains, slowing down police operations. Source: – Xinhua

Facebook Inc CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune tumbled by US$16.8 billion in late trading WednesdayChip Somodevilla/Getty Images It’s official. Facebook Inc. just had the biggest stock-market wipeout in American history. Shares tumbled 19 per cent on Thursday to close at US$176.26 after sales and user growth disappointed investors the day before. The drop translates to a US$119.4 billion decline in market capitalization, the largest-ever loss of value in one day for a U.S. traded company. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune took an almost US$16 billion hit. Analysts who follow Facebook were blindsided Wednesday when Chief Financial Officer David Wehner said revenue growth rates would decline in the third and fourth quarters. They asked frequently on an earnings conference call with executives for more information on exactly how the company’s financial future had changed so dramatically. “I think many investors are having a hard time reconciling that deceleration,” Brent Thill, an analyst at Jefferies LLC, told Facebook executives, asking for a little more clarity on the reasoning. “It just seems like the magnitude is beyond anything we’ve seen, especially across a number of the tech (companies) we cover.” Before the results, Facebook had 44 buy ratings, two sells and two holds. A few analysts tempered their outlook Thursday. For Facebook, financial stumbles are rare. The last time the company missed revenue estimates was the first quarter of 2015. But the results followed a period in which data-privacy issues came under harsh scrutiny, with Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg testifying before U.S. Congress for hours on the company’s missteps. The quarter was also marked by Europe’s implementation of strict new data laws, which Facebook said led to fewer daily visitors in that region. The company was bombarded by public criticism over its content policies, especially in countries such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka where misinformation has led to violence. And it continued to suffer fallout from investigations into Russian manipulation of the platform during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. All of those problems are hitting amid a harsh truth for the company: Facebook, the social network with 2.23 billion active monthly users, can’t grow forever. “The core Facebook platform is declining,” said Brian Wieser, an analyst at Pivotal Research Group. Facebook said it had 1.47 billion daily active users in June, compared with the 1.48 billion average of analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company’s user base flatlined in its biggest market, the U.S. and Canada, at 185 million daily users, while declining 1 per cent in Europe to 279 million daily users. Overall, average daily users increased 11 per cent from the period a year earlier. Revenue increased 42 per cent to US$13.2 billion in the quarter. Analysts projected US$13.3 billion. The social network still holds one of the world’s most valuable sets of data on what people are interested in, and makes that audience easily available to advertisers. The company remains in a dominant position in mobile advertising alongside Alphabet Inc.’s Google. “As we have written about extensively, the advertising industry – and digital advertising no less – has limits to growth, which we think is the primary factor constraining Facebook’s revenue opportunity,” Wieser said in a note after the earnings. “Deceleration such as management guided toward suggests that while the company is still growing at a fast clip, the days of 30%+ growth are numbered.” Wehner gave three different reasons why the company’s revenue growth would decline: currency headwinds, greater investments in new kinds of content-sharing, like disappearing videos, and greater user control over privacy — a direct response to criticism the company has fielded. After the General Data Protection Regulation went into effect in Europe, Facebook started asking people to check their privacy settings and make sure they wanted to share certain kinds of data. Facebook is rolling out a version of those protections to the rest of the world. If users choose to share less data with Facebook, that could hamper the company’s ad-targeting abilities, making it less attractive to marketers. While privacy was an issue in Europe, politics played a role in North America, which is the company’s most lucrative advertising market. Facebook disrupted some business by putting in place new rules to get all political advertisers to verify their identities. The company may have halted more ad purchases than expected as it applied a broad definition of what’s considered “political.” After the earnings report, executives worked to explain the potential of Facebook’s other properties, not just the main social network, to fuel growth. The company owns three other properties with more than 1 billion users: WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram. Together, the entire Facebook suite of products has 2.5 billion unique monthly users, the company disclosed for the first time. Of the newer endeavors, Instagram’s business model is the most mature, and likely contributed meaningfully to revenue in the quarter, analysts have said. Zuckerberg called it an “amazing acquisition,” saying Instagram grew twice as fast as it would have by being part of Facebook, without explaining his methodology. The company doesn’t break out Instagram’s revenue. Facebook has said it will increase spending to make investments in video content, and on new bets like artificial intelligence and virtual reality. The company is also rapidly expanding its real estate around the world to accommodate a hiring spree, which includes thousands of new workers to help combat foreign election manipulation on the site. The company said headcount was 30,275 as of June 30 — an increase of 47 per cent year over year. Before the results were announced, Facebook’s shares had closed in New York at US$217.50, a record high, and had gained 23 per cent this year. The revenue guidance from the company was “unprecedented,” said Gene Munster, an analyst at Loup Ventures, in a note to investors. But Facebook, which reported sales growth averaging 50 per cent the past 10 quarters, may just be lowering the bar so it can win back confidence in future quarters. “The company has a track record of resetting revenue growth and expense expectations only to turn around and exceed those expectations the following quarter,” Munster wrote.

Ethiopians in Washingon area have been waiting for the arrival of Abiy Ahmed to celebrate him and to express their support for the reform measure that his government is undertaking. He and his entourage including his foreign minister Workeneh Gebeyehu and Lemma Megersa, arrived at Dallas International airport Washington DC, today and they had to attend a reception ceremony organized at the Ethiopian Embassy. As they enter the embassy, a lone man was outside protesting waving Ethiopian flag outlawed by the Ethiopian government. Kassahun Yilma, who is Ethiopian Satellite Journalist, says that the person who was protesting today at the Ethiopian embassy, his name is Shimeles, has been protesting the Ethiopian government for a long time. In September 2014, he dared to enter the Ethiopian embassy, lowered government flag and raised the Ethiopian flag that is popular among many Ethiopians – an incident that prompted embassy staff to draw a gun and fire. But today he was not protesting against prime minister Abiy Ahmed. He was rather protesting, according to Kassahun Yilma, that Tamagne Beyene, a well-known activist who used to be a comedian, is left out from the reception event at the Ethiopian Embassy. When the prime minister sees Mr. Shimeles protesting alone outside the Ethiopian Embassy, he refused to go in and approached the protesting lone man and told him that he will not go in while he is protesting. The prime minister finally convinced Mr. Shimeles and they went into the reception event together. At the end of the event, the prime minister met him again and hugged him. Source: borkena

Su’aasha ugu weyn ee ay dadku is weydiinayan waxay tahay miyeynaan xaq u lahayn in aan ogaanno sababta wasiirro intaa le’eg loo eryey ama ay uga tageen shaqadii ay qaranka u hayeen?. Weli lagama jawaabin su’aashaas, laakin Maxamed Caalin oo ka faallooda arrimaha Soomaaliya wuxuu qabaa in hawshaas ay baarlamaanka u taallo. “Sida dastuurku dhigayo, waxaa matala wakiillo baarlamaan. Hadduusan baarlamaanku la hadli karin oo uusan su’aashaas weydiin karin ra’iisul wasaaraha, hadde shacabku afarta sano inta ay ka dhamaanayso uun bay sugayaan” ayuu yiri. Wuxuu dareen ka muujiyey tirada sii kordhaysa ee wasiirrada xafiiska ka tagaya ama laga eryayo muddadii sannad iyo barka ahayd ee ay dawladdu jirtay. Wuxuu barbar dhigay dawladihii ka horreeyey oo uu sheegay in heerkan aysan gaarsiisnayn, wuxuuna u aanaynayaa isagoo tusaale u soo qaatay wasiirkii waxbarashada ee u dambeeyey wasiirrada la eryey, in uusan jirin dulqaad siyaasadeed oo hadal uu wasiirku sheegay, markii dambena uu raalli galin ka bixiyey uu sababsaday. “Khaladkan oo kale cidna ma caawinayo, wasiirkii ma caawin, xukuumaddii ma caawin, wasiir cusub oo la keenana wuxuu u baahan yahay inuu hay’adihii kala barto” ayuu yiri Caalin. Wuxuu tilmaamay Ra’isulwasaaraha iyo madaxweynaha ay horay u balanqaadeen xasilooni siyaasadeed “Xukuumad ballanqaadyo samaysay oo sheegtay in ay koox ahaan u wada shaqaynayso oo aqoonyahanno leh, haddana dadkii xukuumaddu keentay sida Maryan, wasiir Juxa, Yuusuf Garaad ay qaar yiraahdaan nidaam darro ayaan shaqada uga tegey, qaarna ay yiraahdaan ma aynaan ogayn waa dhaqan ku cusub xukuumadda Khayre, mas’uuliyadana waxaa iska leh wasiirka 1aad. dadku waxay dusha u saaraan Madaxweynaha. Hadday xukuumaddu najaxdo iyo hadday shaqayn waydo labada ra’iisul wasaaraha ayaa iska leh” ayuu sii raaciyey. MAXAY TAHAY SABABTA AAN LOO SHEEGIN XIL KA QAADIDDA WASIIRRADA? Maxamed Caalin wuxuu qabaa in arrintaas uu madaxweynuhu ka gaabiyey. “Waxay noola muuqataa in madaxweynuhu uusan door weyn ku lahayn inuu ilaaliyo maadaama uu yahay hay’adda ugu dambaysa ee waddanka xagga sharciga marka laga fiiriyo. Arrinta madaxweynaha ayey u taallaa inuu baaritaan ku sameeyo oo mas’uuliyadiisa ka soo baxo” ayuu yiri. Ma ahan oo kaliya wasiirada xilka laga qaaday, ee waxaa kale oo jira waxyaabo kale oo tiro badan oo dalka ka dhaca oo aanan la sharixin sababtii ay ku dhaceen. ISHA BBC Somali
