Written by Abdulaziz Al-Mutairi Jan 09, 2010 at 03:36 PM The Somaliland people, political parties and government progressed in many areas including state building, democracy and hosting free and fair elections across the country. Although, Somaliland foreign diplomacy was not successful to bring the long-waited international diplomatic recognition however its performance was acceptable. The Somaliland security department confronted the infiltrating terrorists from neighboring lawless and vicious Somalia. More than 40 people were injured or killed in bombing in Hargiesa, Capital of Somaliland. Terrorist targeted sensitive areas like presidential palace, Ethiopian embassy - the only foreign diplomatic office in Hargiesa - and UN Headquarter. Al-Shabab, Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group in Mogadishu, Somalia, claimed the responsibility on bombing Hargiesa. FBI announced that one of the suicide bombers was Somali-US citizen from Minnesota called Shirwa Ahmed. US Government recognizes Al-Shabab as an international terror group that has links with Al-Qaeda. Al-Shabab threatens the stability of Somaliland and Puntland, a semiautonomous region in Somalia. They are trying to relocate to eastern sanaag, due to its mountainous landscape. Reliable sources highlighted that Al-Shabab sent observers to these areas including the famous Shimbirale, which has excellent hideouts including deep caves. Al-Shabab are gaining power in Somalia and recruiting young and brainwashed Somalis from outside mainly US and Europe. Al-Shabab lost battle at Dhuuso Mareeb of central Somalia to Sufi religious fighters called "Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaca". This is sign of Al-Shabab's continuous attempts to expend to other parts of former Somalia including Puntland. The international community should support regional authorities against the expanding terrorism. Particularly, the preemptive cooperation against the terrorism must start between Somaliland, Djibouti and Puntland. These authorities, together, can defeat Al-Shabab, and theory of foreign forces on Somali soil can be avoided. Al-Qaeda uses the fight against foreign forces on Muslim soil as "postcard" to recruit fighters. First, Somaliland should be accepted as sovereign partner in the War on Terror. Unlike Kenya and Ethiopia, Djibouti is lucky to have democratic and stable Somaliland at its next door. Al-Qaeda got huge Sleeper Cells in East Africa. Somaliland and Djibouti cooperate against piracy, along with international forces at the Gulf of Aden. The regional water between Somaliland and Djibouti is the only pirate-free area. Somaliland foreign diplomacy has strong and friendly ties with all regional countries. The landlocked Ethiopia uses Berbera Seaport of Somaliland as a gateway to the world sea trade. There are millionaire businessmen in both Djibouti and Ethiopia with Somaliland origin. Both Ethiopia and Djibouti has peaceful border with Somaliland and trade is flourishing between them. Always, the people of Somaliland and Djibouti find ground of mutual interests that ensures the peace, stability and prosperity of the region. It is flimsy to believe that language, culture and religion unites people. The unity in Somalia on 1960 failed because it was based on language, culture and religion. The Somaliland defense department secured its eastern border after defeating the militia loyal to Puntland administration, and promptly dispatched the aid of basic needs to the people of Sool and Eastern Sanaag. The schools reopened and clean drinking water restored. The police demined the streets of Lasaanood City from the explosive left by Puntland gunmen. The government services restored including Municipality. Somaliland Election EU Representative InterPeace sponsored biometric voter registration system in Somaliland to ensure free and fair elections. However, the system (Server) is facing difficulties due to weak hardware. The configuration of the system is not enough to store the database of 3.5 million people including indexing and sorting options. The server failed to stop duplications after voters registered more than once. Somaliland Election Commission (SEC) completed the registration of the citizens as scheduled, but after registration the weakness of the server showed and finally it failed. This was disappointment to Somaliland voters, government and democracy. Currently, Interpeace is trying to fix the problem with help of IT Specialists. This bad project planning of InterPeace delayed the presidential election three times. The international new agencies and channels printed the pictures of Somalilanders in long queues during the voter registration process. The achievements in Somaliland are countless and cannot be summarized in one article. However, we hope the New Year brings prosperity to the hardworking and peace loving people of Somaliland particularly the long-waited diplomatic recognition. By Abdulaziz Al-Mutairi

Dhaqdhaqaaqa Ganacsiga Xoolaha ee Sayladda Burco oo Kor u Kacay iyo Ganacsade Aadan Bardho oo ka war Written by Qarannews Jan 07, 2010 at 11:48 AM Burco (Qarannews)- Dhaqdhaqaaqa saylada xoolaha ee magaalada Burco, ayaa dhawrkii toddobaad ee u dambeeyey si weyn kor ugu kacay, waxana suuqa isku cidhiidhyaya shirkado kala duwan oo ah kuwa xoolaha nool u ka dhoofiya dekedda magaalada Berbera. Haddaba ganacsade Haaji Aadan Axmed Diiriye (Baradho) oo ka mid ah ganacsatada shirkadda xoolaha ee Al-Jaabari oo xoolo tiro badan ka iibsata sayladda Burco, ayaa weriyaha Jamhuuriya ee gobollada bari Mr. Keyse Axmed Digaale ka warraystay xaaladda dhoofka xoolaha nool ee Somaliland . Waraysigaasina waxa uu u dhacay sidan: Su’aal: Adaan muddadii xooluhu socdeen intee xoolo dhoofiseen, xageese ka yimaaddaan xoolaha aad iibsataan? Jawaab: Waxaannu dhoofinay laba moosin; moosin waa moosinkii xajka oo muddo gaaban ayuu ahaa oo 20 casho ah, haseyeeshe waxaannu dhoofinay 440 kun oo neef shirkad ahaan. Xooluhu waxay ka yimaaddaan jiho kasta oo sideedaba xooluhu xuduud malaha, xukunkooduna wuxuu ku xidhan yahay kolba halkii roob ka da’o ee naq leh oo lama kala garan karo ayaan odhan karaa. S: Qiimaha aad xoolaha ku iibsataan neefkii waa immisa? J: Qiimaha aanu ku iibsanaana waa neef iyo dhinicii sida cadaada ahaan jirtay, balse sicirkayagu waxa u u dhexeeya $47 ila $52 doollar. S: Xoolaha ma naqad baad ku iibsataan oo ku bixisaan lacagtooda, mise waad ammaahataan? J: Waxaynu helnay nimco aynaan waligeen helin; waana wax Ilaahy loogu mahadnaqo, mana ammaahano xoolaha ee waxaanu ku bixina naqad, waana markii ugu horreysay ee la arko xoolo inta gealinka hore la iibsado galinka dambe lacagta la bixinayo. S. Ganacsatada inta badan buuq iyo hadal baa ka taagan baryahan dambe, waxana laga cabanayaa maxjarka xoolaha oo la leeyahay wuxuu u xidhan yahay shirkaddiina, taas maxaa ka jira? J: Waxba kama jiraan maxjarka waa loo siman yahay oo ummadda waa uu ka dhexeeya meel cid gaarana yeelan karto ma ahaa. S: Ganacsatada inta badan muran baa ka taagna khilaaf baa ka taagna iyadoon waliba la furin xoolaha, haddii Ilaahay inoo nicmeeyey oo xoolihii Sucuudiga la furay, ganacsatadiini ma isku tagteen oo khilaafkiini ma dhammaysateen oo ma isi saamaxdeen? J: Marka hore waxaannu isku hayney may jirin xooluhu way innaga xidhnaayeen oo waxaannu wadnay annaga iyo ninka Carabka ahaa in aanu abaabka garacno oo la innaga furo ayaannu wadnay. Dad nala garan la’aa oo naga daba qaylinayayna way jireen, waana dhaqan aynu iska leenahay oo wax kastoo cusub-ba waynu ka hornimaadnaa; waa caado aynu iska leenahay. Kontaneeyadii markii Suufi Xasan ka soo wareejiyay Cadan xoolaheena ee uu toos ugu xidhay Jiddeh, iyadoo loo yaqaan in Cadani leedahay xoolaheena, hargaeena, xabagteena iyo subageenaba ayuu ka dhigay Berberaawi oo laga dhoofayay. Xilligaa adhiilayaashii jiray oo dhan way ku kaceen oo ka horyimaaddeen. Annaga berigii dhaweyd qaarbaaba nala socday, waxa taas kelliftay in badhasaabkii Ingiriiska ee wakhtigaasi Hargeysa joogay Berbera yimaad oo fadhiisto si arrintan loo dhammeeyo, waayo dawlad bay ahayd garanaysa faa’iidada ugu jirta. Waxaas oo dhami waxay ka dhacayeen xoolihii Berbera lahayd ee Cadan laga soo wareejiyay, laakiin waxa loo soo noqday Suufi Xasan markii uu faa’iidadii la arkay ee xoolihii cadmaawiga ahaa Berberaawiga noqdeen, angina sidaas oo kale ayaan rajaynayaa in marka faa’iidada iyo waxtarka la arko ee xoolihii laynaloo furay ee shahaadadii maxjarkeena la aqbalay in naloo soo noqdo waannu rajaynayana, laakiin sidii berigii hore noqon maysoo. Barigaa xaasidka lama aqoon, haddese xaasidka innagu badan. S: Maxaa mushkilado iyo caqabado kala kulnateen intii aad xoolaha dhoofinayseen? J: Marka hore wiixi cusubiba waxay iska leeyihin qarba qarbo iminka wax caraaqalado oo aan tilmaai karaa ma jiro. S. Maxaad dadwaynaha reer Somaliland ee xoolaha loo furay ee reer-guurga iyo ganacsatada ugu baaqi lahayd? J: Somaliland waxaan ugu baaqi lahaa xoolaha loo furay waa nimco maadama neefkeeni xoolaha ahaa aynu iibka u la’ayn iib aynu u helnay oo laynaka iibsaday oo waliba lacagtii aynu xoolaha ku iibinay iyadoo naqad ah la inoo dhiibayo, markaa waxaan leeyahay aynu ilaanshano oo sida Ilaahey inoo garan siyey nabadda ee aynu u ilaashano ayaan odhan laha.

Gordon Brown called for a ret urn to the tactics of the Cold War in the fight against terrorism. Metro Sunday, January 04, 2010 Prime Minister Gordon Brown speaking on The Andrew Marr Show The prime minister made his rem arks as Britain and America closed their embassies in Yemen following threats from Islamic militants. Mr Brown told the BBC: ‘We’ve got to expose the extremists and we’ve got to, like the Cold War in the 1950s, we’ve got to use every method of communication possible because there are at least 5,000 internet sites promoting Jihadist violence.’ His comments also came on the day it emerged that the first full body scanners would be brought into use at British airports within weeks. The embassies in Yemen were closed as Britain and America revealed they had set up a counter-terrorism oper ation in the ‘failing state’. However, the threat of an attack by al-Qaeda sparked security fears for embassy staff in the poverty-stricken country. No details emerged of the nat ure of the threat and no date was given for the embassies to re-open. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the radical suspected of plotting to blow up a passenger plane over Detroit on Christmas Day, was said to have been equipped by al-Qaeda in Yemen. On The Andrew Marr show, Mr Brown said: ‘We have got to get back to the source of this and that is Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan.’ He also backed the use of the new airport scanners, which can produce a near-naked image of travellers, saying: ‘Our first duty is to the security of the people of this country.’ Seven of the devices, which cost about £100,000 each, have been ordered and they will come into use at Heathrow ‘as soon as practical’, airports owner BAA said. However, their use has angered civil liberties campaigners, while critics said they would not have stopped the Christmas Day bomber. http://hiiraan.com/news2/2010/Jan/gordon_brown_we_need_cold_war_on_terror.aspx

lool@ i did spot few camels in bari along the road from bosaso to Qardho, i have to say Nugaal is full of Goats though. Mudug has a large junk of camels though.

loooooool, sad but the truth.

looool ^^^^ sxb anybody can see my flag the one i designed and the kurdistan 1 are two complete different flags. The Flag i designed is this - and the Kurdistan flag is this. very different flags, miida labad kurdistan don't speak arabic as far as i am aware.

For those of you who can't read arabic - the arabic writing on the top says - Republic of Somaliland. :cool:

:cool: :cool:

Originally posted by Mr. Red Sea: the design is the Somaliland flag. That part is nice. but what is the purpose of the camel and the soldier in the middle of it? If its for fun, it's looks great! The first 1 was for fun , laakinse the last 1s are not , the camel represents and symbolises the Nomadic culture of the people of the north west and the black star in the far corner represents the struggle somaliland has been through also the red= the struggle SNM has been through to liberate the country the white = peace and the green development.

:cool:

Why didn't puntland chose this flag instead of the lame current 1? this flag highlights the nomadic culture of puntland and showing a camel who is very thirsty in the outskirts of bari looking for his next well to drink at.

Mr. Red Sea , what about this 1?

I actually think they also teach a good amount of english specially in the hargeysa region.

Halyeyadii Huriyey Hawl-galkii Inqilaabka ee 1961-kii Qaybtii 3'aad Written by Qarannews Jan 01, 2010 at 05:20 AM Taliyaha Guud ee Ciidamadii Xooga dalka Soomaaliya, waxa waqtigaa ahaa Maxamed Caynaanshe, oo isaguna dhalasho ahaan ka soo jeedey H.Y Isq, balse ku kacaamay waxna ku baratay Koonfurta Soomaaliya. Inkasta oo isku dayga hawl-galka Inqilaabku aanu markii danbe noqon mid midho-dhala, hadana marka dadka aqoonyahanka ahi ka hadlayaan dhacdadaa waxa ay ku qiimeeyaan in ay ahayd ileyskii ugu horeeyey ee daaray shamaca Halgankii dheeraa ee Shacabka Somaliland u soo galeen dib u soo celinta Madax-bannaanida iyo gooni isu taaga Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland. Gees kale, haddii aynu ka eegno hawl-galkan, waxa xusid mudan masalada inay xudunta u ahayd isku dayga Inqilaabka iyo Halgankii adkaa Shacbigu u soo galeen la soo noqoshada Dawlad-nimadooda, maaha mucjiso ugub ah oo ku koobnayd oo keliya Siyaasiyiintii iyo Aqoonyahankii Somaliland ee waqtigaa. Hase-yeeshee, waxa dhacdadaa miisaalkeedu la soo dersay qawmiyado badan oo ku dhaqan Dunida, kuwaasoo sidii Somaliland ku dhacday si la mid ah Dawlad-nimadoodii si bilaa shuruud ah ugu wareejiyey dalal kale, ka dib markii ay is-indho buuxin waayeen Siyaasiyiintoodii. Haddii aynu tusaale qaar ka mid ah Qawmiyadaha ay dhacdadaas oo kale la soo deristay, waxa aan murran ku jirin qaddiyada Yementa Koonfureed oo ka mid ahaa dalalkii uu gumeysan jirey Ingiriisku, kuwaasoo xornimada qaatay 30. Nov. 1968. ka dibna dhidibada u taagay Dawlad casri ah oo ku shaqeysa nidaamkii Shuuciga ahaa, isla markaana aaminsanayd aragtidii Maartiisamka ahayd. Inkasta duruufaha iyo waayihii siyaasadeed ee soo wajahay Dawladii Curdinka ahayd ee xarunteedu ahayd Magaalada Cadan ay kaga gedisnayd midda Somaliland arrimo badan oo aan markaa siyaasiyiintii Somaliland hor oolin, kuwaasoo ay ka mid ahaayeen cadaadis fara badan oo kaga imanayey Dawladihii deriska la ahaa oo ay qaarkood u dhexeeyey murran dhinaca dhulka ah. Sida- Saldanada Cumaan iyo Dawlada Sucuudiga oo labadooduba shaki ka qabay Nidaamka shuuciga ah ee la soo dersay iyo waddamada reer Galbeedka oo iyaguna si weyn uga soo horjeeday nidaamkii Shuuciga ahaa ee ay qaateen. Arrimahaas iyo khilaaf gudahooda ahaa oo uu xuduntiisu ahayd loollan siyaasadeed oo ka dhex dilaacay xubnihii siyaasiyiinta ahaa, kaasoo sababay in marar badan iska hor-imaad ka yimaado taageerayaal kala taabacsan Madaxweynihii waqtigaa Md. Cali Naasir Maxamed iyo dhigiisii ka horeeyey Cabdifataax Ismaaciil. Sida- dhacdadii Jen.1968, taasoo keliftay gacan ka hadal ay isku faro saareen taageerayaasha labadaa masuul, isla markaana toddobaad gudihii ay ku naf waayeen kumanaan qof oo aan waxba galabsan, balse markii ay waayeen hoggaamiye-yaal aragti dheer oo kala badbaadiya dhiigooda iyagii birta iska aslay. Sidoo kale, waxaa xusid mudan in shacbiga ku kala dhaqan Yementa Koonfureed iyo Yementa Waqooyi oo marka tiro ahaan la is barar dhigo la mid ah tan Somaliland iyo Koonfurta Soomaaliya. Sida lagu sheegay Daraasado la xidhiidha tira-koobyo lagu sameeyey Sanadkii 1990-kii dadweynaha ku dhaqan Yementa Koonfureed, waxa lagu qiyaasay 2785484 qof, halka ku dhaqan Yementa Waqooyina ay ka noqdeen 7160981 qof. Waxanay arrintaasi ka markhaati kacaysaa kala badnaanshaha Qawmiyadaha ku kala dhaqan labada Gobol. Markii siyaasiyiintoodu ay horumarkii iyo wax-qabadkii laga sugayey muddo 22 Sannadood ah oo ay xornimo haysteen kaga mashquuleen murran iyo khilaaf madhalays ah oo dhexdooda ka oognaa, waxa ay Sanadkii 1990-kii si bilaa shuruud ah ugu biireen Yementii Waqooyi, ka dib markii nimanka gacanta ku hayey hoggaanka Dawladii Cadmeed loo sameeyey xilal iyo balan-qaadyo indho-sarcaad ah, iyada oo markaa uu Taliskii fadhigiisu ahaa Magaalada Sanca uu ka faa'idaysanayey khilaafkooda. Waxa lagu qanciyey labadii masuul ee u sareeyey Taliskii Cadmeed Cali Saalim Al-biid oo hayey hoggaamiyaha xisbigii shuuciga, kuna bedeshay inuu Madaxweyne-ku-xigeen ka noqdo Dawladii Midninada, halka Madaxweynihii Yementa Koonfureed Xaydar Abubakar Al-Cadaas isagana loo magacaabay inuu noqdo Ras'iisal Wasaaraha Dawladii Federaalka ahayd. Hase-yeeshee, markii nidaamkaa wadaaga ahi uu shaqeynayey muddo ku siman Saddex Sannadood, ayaa wax durbadiiba soo if-baxay is-fahan la'aanta dhaqan ee labada shacbi iyo iyada oo markiiba madaxdii reer Koonfureedka ahayd ay dareemeen cidhiidhi siyaasadeed isla markaana ay marba marka ka dambeysa isa soo gabtay fulinta awoodahoogii sharci, kuna hafteen Siyaasiyiintii Waqooyiga oo tiro iyo tayo ahaanba ka badnaa. Sanadku markuu ahaa 1994 waxaa u cadaatay xubnihii reer Koonfureedka ahaa in haba-yaraadee aanu jirin wax rajo ah oo ugu laaban shuraakada Taliskii Sanca, taasina waxa ay sababtay Dagaalkii adkaa ee ka qarxay Goboladii Koonfurta, kaasoo u dhexeeyey Ciidamadii Reer Cadmeedka ahaa oo gacan ka helayey shacbigooda iyo Ciidamadii Taliskii Fadhigiisu ahaa Sanca. Iska hor-maadkaasoo uu hormood ka ahaa Cali Saalim Al-biid, ka dib ay u babac dhigi kari waayeen awoodii ciidamada Taliskii Sanca waxay sababtay in la jebiyo Ciidankiisii, ka dibna Cali Saalim Al-biid uu baxday Dalka Cumaan, halkaasoo uu ka helay magangelyo siyaasadeed oo uu ku noolaado, balse ay Saldanadii Cumaan ku amartay in aanu ka hadal wax siyaasad ku saabsan.
