"The relations between Somalia, Somaliland and Turkey are beyond any kind of borders," Davutoglu said. "Despite geographical distance, historically we are like a family." The minister described the first meeting on April 13 as a "historic start", where parties agreed on a joint statement to plan future talks. The statement had said country representatives would meet again in three months. On Sunday's meeting in Istanbul, the Turkish foreign minister met ministers and MPs from Somalia and Somaliland, including Somali Interior Minister Hussein Gulled and Somaliland Trade Minister Muhammed Omar. "We have always kept discussions on the joint future of our brothers [in Somalia and Somaliland] on our agenda, and striven to build strong bridges between them through humanitarian aid," Davutoglu said. "Irrespective of which country they live in, we will help all our Somali brothers and sisters in every possible way." "This is our historic responsibility, as well as a humanitarian responsibility and an indispensable part of our active diplomatic policy in Africa." Somaliland is an internationally recognized autonomous region in northwestern Somalia. It sought independence from the country in 1991 when Somalia suffered a government collapse, triggering a civil war that is still ongoing. http://hiiraan.com/news4/2013/July/30184/somalia_somaliland_delegations_meet_with_turkish_fm.aspx

Ceeb badana.

Alpha Do Somalilanders plant more trees to fight desertification? In 19th century to early 20th century many places in Somaliland were forests, even the road between Dhacarbuduq and Hargeysa, there us to be elephants and all kinds of animals there. We need to think of how to replant those forests and keep the remaining forests under protection, it is the best thing for the well being of our environment.

WardheerNews Garowe, Puntland 2013 A 16-year old girl was raped by three sons of Puntland officials last Monday, 2013 . The accused rapists are Ahmed Abdi Hirsi ,the son of the Governor of Nugaal—Abdi Hirsi, (Qarjab), Mohamed Ali Hayaan , son of Ali Hayaan−former director of security in Puntland; and Abdirahman Nur Mohamed Garaase− a nephew of Suldaan Garaase, tribal chieftain of Ise Mohamoud. The three are now in custody. The young woman, who was simply identified by her first name, Fadumo, was attending a wedding when the three perpetrators kidnapped her, took her to the outskirts of Garowe, raped her, and left her in the scene. WardheerNews confirmed the rape charges with the relatives of the victim who hail from the Somali region in Ethiopia. The relatives told WardheerNews that they are asking Puntland authorities to investigate the crime and punish those convicted according to the law. “We will not accept any attempt to put this matter under the rug or settled it out of court by using traditional elders,” a family member told WardheerNews. The issue of rape is becoming endemic in some parts of Somalia. Last month, a woman, who claimed to have been raped by Somali government officers, and the journalist who interviewed her were sentenced to one year in jail in Mogadishu. The court’s ruling was widely condemned by human rights groups, the U.S State Department, the British government and the head of the United Nations.

H town = Hargeysa, it is a restaurant opened in Hargeysa. "Miami Fastfood...no south beach though. H-Town stay down." Meaning this is not south beach, Miami but Hargeysa.

The burgers must taste good.

A lot of SOL H Town residents will be having their afur there in Ramadan after rushing from work. http://statigr.am/p/489104059123511515_426524235

Puntland is no Switzerland, it is an impoverished desert state with little to no resources ever since that oil has turn out to be water. I don't blame majority of Puntland youth flocking to Saudi Arabia in the hope of a better future.

In a recent interview Hiraale said he will attack Kismaayo again.

Hey kiddo don't get angry with me I didn't write it, Garoweonline did. , Tahriib is at all time high in the Puntland desert and should be tackled rather than being kept under the carpet.

She is free to make songs praising Mogadishu or telling them the reality which they did get angry from. That is beside the point, she is HAG from Mogadishu, she's not Somalilander.

AUN MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) - At least 71 people have been killed and more than 300 wounded in ongoing fighting between rival militias in the Somali city of Kismayo, the World Health Organization said Thursday.The clashes in the southern port city have displaced many and "continues to have a profound impact on civilians and humanitarian aid work" in the region, the United Nations health agency said. Many of the victims suffered fractures, head and chest injuries. Nearly 40 patients had to be operated on, according to WHO. Kismayo is currently the scene of intense, sporadic battles as rival militias fight for control of the strategic city. Somalia's central government accuses Kenyan troops stationed in Kismayo of backing one militia against others and wants the African Union -under whose auspices the Kenyans are deployed - to send a neutral force there. Somalia's government has filed a complaint with the African Union in which it charges that the conduct of Kenyan troops in Kismayo is undermining military efforts against the Islamic militants of al-Shabab. Kenyan troops are accused of backing the Raskamboni brigade, a militia that helped them push al-Shabab out of Kismayo. The Raskamboni brigade is led by Ahmed Madobe, a key power broker around Kismayo who is not supported by Somalia's central government in the capital. Madobe's militia is fighting a group led by former warlord Barre Hirale. Somalia's foreign ministry complained in a letter to the African Union this week that Kenyan troops in Kismayo had scuttled plans to have a united force there that is led by a Somali commander. Because of this, the letter said, "various clan factions" had formed, undermining peace and security in the wider Jubba region. The letter said the conflict in Kismayo had given al-Shabab an "unwarranted lull at a critical time" and that momentum gathered against the militants "has come to a halt." Kismayo is important for Kenya, which seeks a friendly buffer zone near its border with Somalia - one of the main reasons it sent troops to Somalia to fight al-Shabab in late 2011. But the rival militias now at war there appear to be interested in the economic engine of Kismayo. Its port generates large and reliable income, and has been the export point of Somali-made charcoal made illegal by the U.N. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/71-killed-300-wounded-somalia-fighting-19576586
