Mogdisho-hobyonet)After one week of rest, Somali Football Federation has on Friday resumed in Mogadishu the second leg of the country’s division one football championship with the Somali Police club ‘Heegan’ defeating Banaadir telecom by 1-0 in the opening match of the second leg. The Somali Football Federation President Mr. Said Mahmoud Nur who talked to both teams before kick off told them to show fair play and good performance. ”You are two strong teams and have publicity among all Somalis, so we want you to satisfy your fans and have good cooperation with the referees” the Somali Football Federation President told the teams. Banaadir was defeated by the same team during the first leg of the championship and its boys were trying their best to compensate for the past loss to Heegan, but unfortunately they were once again defeated by a goal to nothing. As soon as the match started both teams were launching successive attacks on each other’s goal and as the result the first half of Friday’s match ended in 0-0 draw. But about 4 minutes before the end of the whole game, Heegan’s striker Mahad Mohamed Ahmed Boorow put into the opposite goal and that died down Banaadir’s hopes of compensating for the past loss. Friday’s match attracted many high profile dignitaries including Somali Football Federation president Said Mahmoud Nur, his deputies Ali Said Guled and Abdullahi Abow Hussein, Somali Prime minister’s advisor for youth and sports Abdi Qani Abdullahi Hilowle (Jeenyo) and chairman of Somali sports medical association Dr. Abdi Ibrahim Ahmed Officials from Somali Football medical; association and Read Cross have been standby at the stadium to give first aid to the players injured during the match. The healthy officials have been doing such job since the Somali Division once soccer championship recommenced in the capital on January 21st. www.hobyonet.com

Somali native aids child education in Africa By Devika Rao Monday, March 21, 2011 After Hodan Guled, 32, finished her master’s degree in public health at Emory University, she knew she had to give back. “I always looked for volunteer opportunities or ways to give back when I was in school, but the current situation [in Somalia] made me want to do something [more],” said Guled, whose native country’s situation has never been far from her mind. Guled and her family fled Somalia when she was 12, to seek refuge in Nairobi, Kenya. She now lives in Chamblee. Guled founded S.A. F.E., or Somali and American Fund for Education, in 2008 to help schools and children in the African nation. Without education, many children of war tend to get tied up in unsafe situations, but Guled noticed that in Somalia, some communities took it upon themselves to improve things. Teachers and parents did the heavy lifting as they tried to fund salaries, or sometimes, even worked for free. S.A.F.E. supports communities that have already shown a commitment to education. In 2009, S.A.F.E. raised $10,000 to assist Abaarso Tech, an all-boys boarding school, which received the financial strength to build a girls’ dormitory allowing 14 girls to get enrolled and receive a chance in education. “We based our model on ‘how can we help you?’” Guled said, as more funding is being appropriated toward facility and infrastructure. “Some of these schools need something as simple as toilets, so we want assist in building a clean, learning-friendly environment for these students.” “S.A.F.E. donated the money towards us constructing the lab building into a girls’ dormitory,” said Jonathan Starr, managing director at Abaarso Tech in Somalia. S.A.F.E helped create a competitive advantage for the children and the community. “Our school is training [the children] at a level which competes with any boarding school in the world,” Starr said. In 2011, S.A.F.E’s goal is to raise $50,000 to help five schools, and the organization has received a $25,000 grant from Coca-Cola Co. With so many other causes out there, Guled chose one that mimicked the values embedded in her. “My parents constantly pushed education on us,” said Guled, who also studied at University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. “We were given the core belief that education is the key to success.” Guled moved to Huntington, W.Va, in 1993, where her cousin lived, to complete her education. “I consider myself to be a fortunate Somali refugee,” Guled said. “I got this rare opportunity to come to America. I know not a lot of people in situations such as mine get these kind of chances.” She’s also getting to go home again. A public-health analyst in the Atlanta office of RTI International, a North Carolina-based research institute, Guled soon will be going back to Somalia for the first time since arriving in the U.S. in 1993. “I will be going to train our local partners, two universities, who will be our monitors for the funding we send from here.” Source: ajc

Business booming in TFG controlled areas Hundreds of thousands of people who have fled the brutal battles waged by Islamist militias in other parts of Mogadishu have now found a new safe market to trade. In the government-controlled district of Hamar Weyne, business is booming, and the area is bustling with traffic with both people and vehicles. The district has grown dramatically in few months as a major business enclave in the heart of Mogadishu. Hamar Weyne is oldest part of Mogadishu and is well known for the hotels that serve sweet and tasty dishes. It has the biggest fishing market in the entire country. Before the fall of President Mohammed Siad Barre regime in 1991, Hamar Weyne Market was the biggest and cleanest market in Mogadishu, with people coming all over the city to trade on goods and services. Now, the area is reclaiming its history of a renowned trade centre. The area is awash with business people who come from surrounding districts to buy and sell produce. Lorries coming out of the seaport, which are carrying different kind of goods, first unload stuffs to stalls in Hamar Weyne before proceeding to Bakara, where there are some warehouses for the few remaining traders. Mohammed Omar, a small scale trader, says the shift in Mogadishu’s business landscape has positively impacted on his business. He has now officially relocated from Bakara, a notorious market that was the economic powerhouse of Somalia. “Before the big businesses shifted to Hamar Weyne, we faced many challenges including, road blocks manned by Al-Shabaab which was extorting money. Consignments from the sea port will not reach safely in Bakara if you don’t pay Shabaab some money at the road blocks,” he said. Bakara market is used by Al-Shabaab as a military depot and launching pad in their attacks against the government. Even though the group lobs mortars from the market to the government controlled to prevent the business to continue, Somali government forces and AU troops have marked it as NO FIRE ZONE. AMISOM Spokesman Maj. Barigye Ba-huko says the peacekeeping mission has totally banned all its troops to reply attacks that emit from the market. “Our soldiers have clear orders, not to reply are provocation from those extremists who are using the market as launching pad to attack our positions,” he said. Those orders are meant to save the civilians, who use the market, from any military confrontations that would result to unnecessary bloodshed. People who own and manage big businesses in Bakara have also been receiving threats from Al Shabab, but instead of mortarts they get taxed by the militants. “They collect $100 from each stall in the market regardless of your financial status,” said a trader who requested not to be named for security reasons. Al Shabaab forced some of the bigger companies to buy heavy weapons, such as anti-aircraft guns and mortars, while fuel dealers were asked to donate gasoline for the Shabaab vehicles. The shift of businesses from Bakara has not come as a shock to Abdikarim Ilkow, a Mogadishu resident who used to go to the open air market to buy some goods. “We knew one day people will cease to go to Bakara not because of the shelling and fighting but because of Shabaab themselves. They have closed the roads, digging trenches in some of the roads while diverting the traffic. The extortion is high.” Hamar Weyne is one of the success stories of TFG security plans that allow peace and security to prevail in Mogadishu. K4 Also Bustling Another place that is bustling daily with economic activities is K4, a famous junction that connects the airport to the larger Mogadishu. The current scenarios in K4 was unthinkable few months ago due to mortars and stray bullets fired by Al-Shabaab. Thanks to AMISOM troops and TFG, the extremist has been pushed out the area. “We can now do business without fear of mortar shells or stray bullets, those guys (Shabaab) have been pushed far from their targets. The life is slowly returning to normalcy,” said a currency exchanger who is based at the famous junction.
