Somaliland elected 5 Presidents since it seceded from Somalia. Every President had its own up and down. President Mohamed Ahmed Siilanyo is the only one who has high academic qualification. He held number of ministerial positions in Mohamed Siad Bare Government. He was amongst the very few ministers who dare to say No when wrong orders were given. It was one leap forward to construct a road connecting Erigabo to Burao, and then recap the road joining Kalabaib to Dila which causes hectic journey. Their were rampant corruptions which were kept under the rug. The roles of the Parliament were marginalized and there were no checks and balances. The former President deferred to the present President legitimate complaint of two segments of Somaliland population who think their shares of Government participation are not fair. The fanfare and excitements shown by people during the election were beyond imagination. People expect much from elected President. The apparent leadership characteristics shown by the President are charismatic qualities that support justice and fights against corruption. The President made pledges to develop economic sectors that needs improvement in vital areas. Somali people are resilient to hardship and with genuine leadership they can surmount any hurdles. I mention below those development areas that has to be prioritized: Minimizing Qaat import to three days only (Thursday to Saturday.) In doing so, the country can save substantial amount of hard currency and reduce its consumption for health reasons. The young man who graduated from Colleges have no the work skills needed for jobs available in the markets. More technical schools have to be built to train the students in technical fields such as electricity, plumbing, carpentry and vehicle workshop work. I give credit to former Minister of education, Mr. Abdilahi, who with farsightedness, established first technical school in Burao. In the field of agriculture the potentiality is great for both food crops and exportable crops. It is unacceptable to find no tomatoes and potatoes in the markets during the three days when incident occurred in Aromo area. Let alone other places, these vegetables can be grown as home gardening in each family home. This is a practice common in each African countries. The reality that exists in agriculture, most of traditional farmers abandoned their lands in search of better lives in the cities. There are no incentive mechanism that lured them to go back to their lands. Credit availability, renting tractors with low prices, opening irrigation canals in fertile valleys where water is available and supply of improved seeds can be incentives for the farmers. Establishing Government autonomous Agency for tractors service with a reasonable price rent can play effective role in agricultural development. The Agency will be self financing and can buy tractors on loan bases. With improved techniques, Togwajale plane can produce enough food crops that suffice the needs of the country. There are groups of entrepreneurs who established vegetable production Project under shades in green house with minimum water requirement. They deserve help. The project that always in my mind is production of high quality oranges. The British brought early 50s orange seedlings from Natal, South Africa, and planted in Geed Deeble, Arabsiyo, and Amoud. The orchards planted 50 years ago are producing quality oranges. To grow large scale oranges needs importation of improved grafted seedlings and distribution to the farmers including farm inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. The oranges produces fruits in 5 to 6 years and can be competitive quality in Arabian markets. The inflation of Somaliland currency created havoc to the low income people. Except group Islands ruled by U.S.A, Zimbabwe and Somaliland, no other countries uses dollars as national currency. Those who amassed dollar currency should deposit it in the National Bank. The Somaliland shilling should be given fixed value in relation with the dollars. The people should be oriented in Masjids and on radios paying taxes for the development of the country is compulsory. Minimal amount of taxes should be imposed on Government employees. Likewise, agencies dealing remittance, communication services, luxury hotels, and merchandizes importers should pay taxes from their profits. The sense of national spirit be aroused among the people that depending national resource is better than foreign aid. Construction of infrastructures started by previous Government have to be completed. Feeder roads in mountainous areas where fertile valleys available be constructed. Road are essential for movement of agricultural products and goods. The country is prone to clement weather that causes droughts. It is imperative to establish Food Security Program to avert shortage at the onset of drought. Water wells are needed in nomadic areas for people and animals. People who claim enclosures in grazing areas should be given annulment. Even the worst situations have some positive aspect. People learn a lot from the last draught. People and animals should not be dislocated from their environment. Those who were brought in Awdel despite the good gesture given by the people, they suffered because of the cold season. Preparedness is what is needed to mitigate the danger of the draught. Mohamed Bahal

I am black. I am a Muslim. I am a war survivor and I am a refugee turned writer from Somalia who now lives in the U.S. Like you, I am a two-legged human creature. America is not a distant hope for me or, for the refugees across the United States, but it is a warm and peaceful home. Life has taught me that it is easy to destroy a nation, but it is very hard to build it up. Somalia, the country of my birth, is now on the list of banned countries for those wishing to enter the U.S. My own mother, who is a naturalized citizen, currently lives in Somalia. As her first son, I had seen the gory of war, the agony of refugee camps, but, thanks be to God, she and I made it to America in July 1993. We felt safe and made cold New England our new home. With the rise of President Donald Trump’s America, that sense of belonging is now dimmed. In September 1993 I started Bedford High School, where on my first day the school hired Estee, an English as a second language teacher for me. Staffers bought a blue flag with a white star in the middle and they told me that I was a Somali-American. In a way, this restored the dimmed identity of my fractured life. The school exposed me to books: “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway, “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” as told to Alex Haley and “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien. The first word I felt in love with in the English language was “preposterous.” There was something about this word that I liked. In Somalia, a country with a single race, a single religion and single tribe but with many clans, the war between clans was beyond preposterous. I never asked God for membership in the tribe I was born into. God chose it through my father, and the fact that my siblings and I belonged to the clan of our dead father was definitely preposterous. The hideous walk in the jungle between Kenya and Somalia was preposterous. The refugee camp was preposterous. Seeing dead people was preposterous. New England’s cold weather was preposterous; but I yearned to see the snow fall from the sky. The dream I carried to America was preposterous. Having to learn a new language and a new culture was preposterous. Working for 15 years and discovering that I was a black man in America was beyond preposterous. Above all, President Trump’s immigration ban has been the most preposterous thing of all my life, whereby America’s 70 years’ worth of post-World War II prestige is being damaged on a global scale. But since hope was all I carried to America, I am hopeful that the voices of reasons and intellect will prevail over the demagoguery. The fast-moving situation with regard to President Trump’s executive order temporarily banning people from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the U.S., combined with his Twitter rhetoric, is not only creating doubt and fear in the heart of refugees, but it is also labeling Muslim Americans as terrorist sympathizers. For the first time since I walked on the clean American soil, I feel a danger in my belly. I am now afraid for all the Muslim refugees who left their countries because of war and who came to America to seek a better life. And I know a lot about the danger of labeling a group of people as a threat that needs to be contained and removed from society. In 1990, I was 13 years old. At the time, my world was about skipping school, flirting with girls, raising pigeons and playing soccer under the magnificent Mogadishu blue sky. I knew nothing about what was simmering behind the lips of the people. My father had died a year earlier, but as part of Somali culture, my younger siblings and I belonged to our dead father’s clan. President Siad Barre had ruled Somalia for more than 20 years, and he, too, belonged to our clan. The Somali economy was struggling and people were hurting. Jobless men often sat in groups in front of the teahouses. As they played cards, they started to blame the ruling clan for their economic ills. Politicians picked up the blame game and politicized it. It wasn’t long before the men’s tea talks over poker turned into fistfights in the markets. Frustrated men began to engage in drive-by shootings on innocent people. The murder rates went up. As people’s internal hate simmered, conflict on a larger scale erupted in the streets of Mogadishu in December 1990. A boy, a next-door neighbor, came to my house holding an AK47. He came to kill me because I was no longer his friend. I, along with my family, was among those who were libeled as being part of the enemy clan. The threat of murder hung over my family until we made a hasty departure — to anywhere. We fled our three-bedroom villa in Mogadishu, leaving behind a little of everything: my birdhouse, the chicken coop, Bella and Bilan (our goats), a broom, a wheelbarrow, examination papers, a bulky briefcase, my red typewriter, photographs, and the wooden chair with stretched animal skin that my father used to sit on before he died.

Police in Minneapolis have removed a candle-lit memorial created by a white nationalist group to honour Australian woman Justine Damond shot dead by a Somali-American officer. Identity Evropa said it made the “shrine” to Damond after a prosecutor suggested there was not enough evidence to bring charges. Damond died after being shot in her pyjamas by officer Noor on July 15 after she called police several times to report a possible sexual assault in an alley behind her Minneapolis home she had shared with her fiance. Officer Noor has not been charged.

HARGEISA— The Somaliland authority has decided to temporarily suspend the work of UAE military facility in the port of Berbera. There are no official statement from Somaliland administration confirming the abrupt halt of military base but highly reliable sources have indicated that SL’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Sa’ad Ali Shire sent formal letter just a couple of weeks ago to the United Arab Emirates government to adjourn all work of UAE’s military base building in Berbera. It was stated in the letter that Somaliland authority is about to review the terms of the contract signed between Somaliland and UAE. There are conflicting reports confirming that Somaliland is to hire an int’l firm which will consult on matters pertaining to military base. Somaliland entered into agreement with UAE on the provision of the military base and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed although there is official agreement. This has provided that the new Somaliland Head of State has to review the agreement. According to Geeska Afrika Newspaper, it has made contacts with foreign minister and the special SL representative to UAE which all ended in vain. The UAE awarded the contract to build the military facility in Berbera by Divers Marine Contracting LCC and is expected to cost up to 90 million dollars LCC Chairperson, Abdalla Darwish has told media that his firm signed the deal of building the base last April. The National House of Assembly passed the agreement with unanimous vote although it caused wrangling within the parliament premises this year. The former government under president Silanyo did not table in front of the parliament of the genuine agreement that SL signed with UAE. The ex-administration used power and capital for the house to pass with overwhelming majority. Somaliland’s main opposition parties have cried foul over the agreement and said time and again that there is no real agreement between the two nations. It was just a couple of days once houthi rebels in Yemen have send stern warning to Somaliland that if does not suspend UAE military base in Berbera then it will fire ballistic missile to Somaliland. It is not yet clear if Somaliland has heeded the warning from houthi rebels or if it decided to evaluate the terms of the agreement.

There are occasions when words cannot express emotional feelings. The car bomb attack at the Zope street junction in Mogadishu on 14 October 2017, which killed over 300 innocent people and wounded many hundreds is definitely one of them. After two months, emotions are still running high inside and outside Somalia. Some people are left frightened, confused, sad and helpless; others are very upset and angry. Mogadishu residents are still asking why this happened to their city just when it has started to recover from years of warfare and destruction. Anyone who had been following the news as the attack unfolded would have seen eyewitness description of the ugliness of the massacre. Mutilated bodies were dumped on the ground by the power of the blast, their heads, guts, legs and arms scattered all over the place. Some bodies were burned beyond recognition. Some eyewitnesses could not tell whether some bodies were male or female. One witness described a body he had seen just like a burnt stick. However, besides human cruelty, human bravery, compassion and empathy for the victims were abundant. Rescue workers bravely risked their lives to rescue the injured and transport them to hospitals given acute shortage of medical facilities and rescue equipment in Mogadishu. Government officials and ordinary people donated blood due to shortage of blood in hospitals. Government officials did what they could to coordinate the rescue efforts. A classic example was to see Thabit, the young mayor of Mogadishu, struggling to hold back his tears as he was giving a press conference. He was obviously shaken by the carnage he had seen. I felt sorry for this young man who was brought in from North America to lead Mogadishu residents only to find himself in such terrible tragedy where hundreds of his fellow residents had been murdered or maimed by a mindless criminal. However, it was also heart-warming to watch the bravery and defiance of the young and their spontaneous demonstrations against the terror attack. The young, wearing red bands as a sign of anger, made a protective circle around the mayor, lifted him up and made him to lead the demonstration, marching through Mogadishu streets. It was a rare moment of solidarity between the mayor and his people. I salute the youth, the mayor, government officials and ordinary people for their bravery and kindness amidst the carnage. Understandably, families of the victims cannot comprehend why their loved ones had to meet violent death at the hands of a murderous terrorist cell. Whole families, including children and their parents, had been wiped out in this awful massacre for no reason other than minding their business at the Zope junction. Please help them financially or otherwise. My condolence goes out to the families of the victims, as I pray for the injured speedy recovery. Mogadishu residents had been through many challenges before and proved to be resilient and brave. I am sure they will survive and come out of this tragedy stronger and united. One positive outcome of the tragedy is that the terror group Al Shabaab is falling apart. Hundreds of misguided young people are leaving the group having realised that Al Shabaab is a murderous cult with distorted ideology and has no place in modern Somalia. Indeed, among other factors, the Zope massacre will be remembered as a prelude to the inevitable collapse of the nihilist cult because its barbaric action has united the Somali people against this criminal group. As we Somalis tend to forget national disasters easily, I add my voice to the suggestions that the government, particularly the mayor, erects a peace memorial garden at the Zope junction in memory and honour of those innocent people who lost their lives in the attack. This is a national calamity and only collective national memorial services can honour it. Muuse Yuusuf Myuusuf3@hotmail.com

A group that monitors extremist organizations says the Islamic State group has posted what is thought to be the first video from IS-affiliated fighters in Somalia. The video posted online Monday calls on supporters to “hunt down” what it calls nonbelievers and attack churches and markets. The SITE Intelligence Group says the video urges supporters to take advantage of people’s “drunkenness” over the holiday season to attack. The United States last month launched its first drone strikes against Islamic State group-affiliated fighters in Somalia. The Horn of Africa nation has a small but growing presence of the fighters, many of them defectors from the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group. The fighters are based in northern Somalia’s rural Puntland. Experts warn their numbers could grow as IS fighters flee Syria and Iraq. Copyright 2017 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

ISTANBUL–Turkey’s IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation has fed around 9,000 people who fled to Somalian capital Mogadishu to escape drought, the aid agency said Tuesday. Water wells dug by the foundation were providing drinking water to 20,000 people a day, it added in a statement. People have been fleeing to the city since the start of the year from drought-hit rural areas. Somalia is one of four countries facing famine due to severe drought, according to the UN. In August, malnutrition reached emergency levels in southern and central Somalia, including 388,000 acutely malnourished children. “The drought disaster that began affecting in the beginning of 2017 turned into a refugee crisis in December,” IHH’s east Africa coordinator Ismail Songur said. AA

Now that campaigning and elections are over it is incumbent for the administration of president Muse Behi to start focusing on national issues. This was opinionated by Member of the Somaliland parliament Abubakar Abdirahman Good during an interview with Geeska Afrika in Hargeisa where he also raised issue with the disbursement of drought relief funds collected from various sources more so among local populations. The legislator who represents Awdal Region in the August house upon Revealing that a recent inspection visit to the region undertaken together with his colleagues concluded that the status pertaining to drought affected people is yet to be alleviated. “Despite large sums of money and other material goods donated towards drought relief, am sorry to say that nothing has changed for the intended beneficiaries in Awdal Region” said MP Abubakar stressing on the fact that electioneering is over and regardless of whoever voted for him, President Behi has the onerous task of governing the nation equally, the legislator without mincing words asked the newly crowned head of state to urgently instigate investigations with the objective of ascertaining the whereabouts of drought relief donations.
