Tallaabo what they dont know is Somaliland is build on the strength of their own people Somalilanders dont ask for Billions of dollars in aid 24.000 African union troops to restore law and order in their country. Somalilanders build a broken nation from scratch from bottom up , to the highest level with no help with no reconciliation conferences held in Foreign Capitals. Somaliland 2013 is a democracy where candidates can contest for the political office. Lets Quote Professor Meygaag samatar …waxaan ahay nin 10 snadood halgankii SNM ku soo jiray …shardiga kaliya ay Somaliland wax uga qaban kartaa waxa waaye in Soomaalida kale ogolaataa Somaliland gobanimadeedii in ay loo noqotay ay markaana tidhaahdaa walaalayaal wax nala qabta wado kaloo banaani iima muuqato" “…waxba ma leh Somaliland way iska noolaan kartaa. Taiwan way nooshahay, dhaqaalahayaga waanu dhisan karnaa, wadankayaga waanu dhisan karnaa, aduunkuna wuu noo imankarnaa yeelkadeed ictiraafka, ninkii daalayaa ha daalo kii dagaalamayaa ha dagaalamo, anagu nabad baanu samaynaynaa dalkayagana waanu dhisaynaa kuwaana wanaag baanu la doonaynaa” Waa qaybo ka mid ah waraysigii ugu danbeeyey ee uu Ibraahim Maygaag Samatar siiyey BBCda laanta af Soomaaliga.

I am hearing now it might have been politically motivated this is just rumors, good thing both govt the other political parties condemned it the elders all said they deeply saddened by this. I have to look in this story

Who on earth wanted to hurt Muhammad kahin one of Somaliland prominent freedom fighters.

Hargeisa needs a visionary mayor who knows allot about city planning in roads inside the city should be priority number one nonetheless our grandfathers can be proud of their grand children that they turned the once Village Toga herer into a massive city.

^^ Ilaahay salaada islaamka oo dhan bu ka aqbala mar haday quluubtooda daahiryaan iyo naftooda daahiriyaan, idinki ilaahay

Somalidu waxay tidha kud ka guur oo qanjo u guur Amisom gone Welcome UNSOM

May Allah be with our people the people of Somaliland should unite in prayer and in jamac in all the main cities the Salaatul Leyl in the next coming days, safun safah.

Kenyan delegation who were previously in Somaliland received a ministerial Somaliland delegation in Nairobi

Meyey yarki dalmar ma cararay ba afki ba juqda gabay again tell us what progress Somalia made the past 22 years, other destabilizing the entire region.Mass exodus of Innocent Somalis into neighboring countries, burning Xamar to the ground the most beautiful city in the Somali peninsula destroying 1000 year Somali architecture and Somali history not to forget the innocent civilians that lost their lives. What have your leaders being doing the past 22 years inviting one African country than opposing the other, declaring Jihad against super powers than running away and hiding like cowards result innocent Somalis die. Bickering over a non existent President and Prime minister portfolio never ending cycle with out having any tangible power in the country. Over 18 attempt reconciliation conferences all ended in failure going from one capital to the other from Nairobi to addis ababa to Asmara Djibouti Cairo khartoum etc. Dad Leaderskoodu nooca yihin inay leaderska Somaliland wax qabadkooda afka ku taagaan wa ka xaraan.

Malistar with out an agreement with puntland how is Somalia able to reinstate a central command. It seems faroole wants to keep his security as it is intact with out sharing a central command with Mogadishu?

Better than 20 years of homicide attacks warlordism/anarchism and piracy mass refugees Turks feeding the population and being under African union protection, now thats what i call sad.

What ever happened forming a central command with puntland i believe saacid was in Puntland 6 months ago and they agreed on that what happened did faroole back down.i think it will be very difficult to move to Mudug Puntland controlled area with out the approval of Puntland.

There is a parliament in Somalia they should keep the Government in check for what ever it does in the country, i think its to early to judge just after a year. Somalia is not a normal country , a country broken apart along tribal lines along sectarian lines its not easy if Somalis really want a government its the best time to support their government.

Somaliland: Faisal Ali Warabe attends Socialist International Conference in Turkey ISTANBUL-The Chairman of the Justice and Welfare Mr. Faisal Ali Warabe is in Turkey on working visit. The Somaliland opposition leader and chairman of the Justice and Welfare Party (UCID), Mr. Faisal Ali Warabe accompanied by other officials attended an international conference in Turkey. The delegation headed by Faisal and the accompanied members of his delegates attended on Monday an international gathering that opened in Istanbul, Turkey and which is expected to last for two days. At the conference, Mr. Faisal Ali Warabe represented and spoke on behalf of Somaliland. Once the delegation arrives in Istanbul, they received cordial reception. Justice and Welfare party received an official invitation from the organizers. The theme of the conference is to improve the collaboration among Social parties all over the world. The issues that the gathering is to focus range from human rights to democracy. Somaliland opposition party leader is also expected to raise the case of Somaliland recognition at the conference in a bid to embark on diplomatic leverage to gain much support for the case.

I never did maybe Jacaylbaro, how ever if Somaliland received aid budget support it would surpass many countries in Africa.

President Hassan is new to the job and he was getting use to the environment he never failed Somalia in a year, Somalias problems cannot be solved with in a year sure there is corruption. But he is rebuilding the army he is making some progress against Alshabaab taking over new territories, Xamar is normalizing. His advisers are not to best, but if you replace Hassan with another leader it will only derail the process of Somalia normalizing. Hassan needs to finish his term and than we can judge him for all that he did.

Its kinda unfair to compare Kenya with Somaliland Kenya has one of the most prosperous economies in Africa its i believe the 10th country with the highest GDP. Somalland went to through wars from 1981 up to 1997

Culusow does not need to resign he just need competent ministers and advisers the man is not bad, i still have fate in him.

Somaliland: 350% National Annual Budget Rise in Last Three Years Monday, 11 November 2013 17:48 Submit to Delicious Submit to Digg Submit to Facebook Submit to Google Bookmarks Submit to Stumbleupon Submit to Technorati Submit to Twitter Submit to LinkedIn Abdulaziz Al-mutairiAbdulaziz Al-mutairi "The government of Somaliland has made tremendous progress and the international community is ready to help these achievements through support to the country's National Vision and the National Development Plan" Mr. Erik Solheim, Chair of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), during his recent visit to Somaliland By: Abdul-Aziz Al-Mutairi Somalilandsun - The Somaliland cabinet approved $212 million budget for 2014 which is about 705 increases from last year's $125 million without international recognition and support. This is more than budgets of many African countries including Somalia. In 2010, Somaliland budget was $47 million only. Somaliland does not get international investment due to its unrecognized diplomatic status, in addition, Somaliland does not have access to the World Bank and IMF. Somaliland develops infrastructure without outside support or aid, which is good example to Africa. International Labor Organization (ILO) don't support Somaliland in fighting unemployment. This diplomatic embargo is teaching Somaliland how to survive on its own income. It is the only country that has no loan. Former Minister of Finance Mr. Mohamed Hashi Elmi had major role in reshaping Somaliland budget and tax collection system, where he lifted the budget from $47 million to $150 million in one year. Elmi's successor has followed the roadmap, which further lifted the budget to a milestone of $212 million in less than three years. In 26th June 1960, British ended their rule in Somaliland and new nation was born that had elected Prime Minister and four cabinet ministers. Thirty four countries recognized Somaliland, world media wrote about Somaliland and even Mr. Malcolm X, an African-American Muslim minister and human rights activist, underscored the importance of Somaliland's independence in one of his famous lectures. However, the people of Somaliland enthusiastically united with former Italian Somalia and formed new nation called "Somali Republic" at 1st July 1960. This was an attempt to unite all Somali-speaking ethnic group in the horn of Africa under the irrational slogan of 'SomaliWayn'. After one year from the unity, Somalilanders organized military coup to withdraw from the unity but the coup failed. Former officers of Somaliland Scouts led the coup. In 18th May 1991 and after many years of dictatorship and melancholy including 12 years of armed freedom struggle, Somaliland declared unilateral independence from the rest of Somalia. The current government led by H.E. President Ahmed Siilaanyo has accelerated tax collections which contributed in the budget increase. The government availed tax collection offices at every corner in the country including public places and roadsides. During my recent visit to Somaliland, I discovered that someone can pay tax while in traffic jam, which is unique style to increase revenue. At Egal Airport, an international airport located at Hargiesa, the tax collection was on high-speed and even passenger can pay other bills before departing the country. Although, the collection is manual process but is very efficient and up to the target. The custom officers at the airport are disciplined and aware of their duties, in addition to excellent customer service skills. The passenger can pay the tax using different currencies like USD and Kuwaiti Dinars with help from the exchange companies like Dahabshiil. The 2014 Budget includes $4 million for road maintenance and constructions. The education sector is another major beneficiary of the current budget. Somaliland has plans of drilling oil by 2014. The salaries of the employees will be increased as promised by the government during parliamentary debate. Somaliland decorated its national security departments including army forces, police and jails authority with ranks. Every officer will get paid according per his/her security rank. The Armed Forces has loin's share in the budget due to volatility in the region. Somaliland neighbors Somalia where Al-shabab terrorist organization are battling the African forces. Somaliland, heavily, invests in its security after three suicide bombers targeted UNDP Office in Hargiesa, Presidential Palace and the Ethiopian Embassy in Hargiesa. The current Kulmiye led government lifted the fees on public schools. Today, every child can attend 12 years of schooling for free. This is very unique quality in Africa, and Somaliland illiteracy rate will fall to zero in the coming five years. 90% of the Somaliland children has access to school including villagers. The health sector in Somaliland is boosted by the private hospitals that provides avoidable services to the citizen, alongside free-of-cost public hospitals. In my recent visit to Hargiesa, I discovered large number of patients are coming from Somalia, Ethiopia and even from Djibouti to receive the avoidable medical services in Somaliland. ADNA Maternity Hospital produces thousands of well-trained midwives and nurses. This reduced the childbirth deaths to its minimal, as you can find skilled midwifes and nurses at every village across Somaliland. In other hand, Somaliland universities produces skilled medical staff including doctors, lab technicians, etc... I visited one of the hospital in Hargiesa and discovered that all staff from cleaners to the managers including doctors, nurses and therapists are graduates of Somaliland medical schools. Ten years ago and during my last visit, The UN staff were handling the public hospitals due to lack of trained medical staff. This illustrates that Somaliland achieved self-sufficiency in the medical services. The government adds 92 million Somaliland Shilling in the annual budget for every public university in the country. This is to encourage the education development. Conclusion: International community is paying a lot of money to stabilize Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Thousands of African Union Forces are fighting Al-Shabab in Mogadishu. This military presence costs the world huge sum of money. The world sponsored many peace conference for Somalians to settle down their differences, but all ended up without positive outcome. In order to achieve lasting peace in Somalia, the world must adopt the plan of Somaliland towards Somalia. The independence of Somaliland must be accepted, in order to let Somaliland stabilize the former sister. Somaliland has experience of stabilizing Somalia, because Somaliland Scouts imposed curfew on Mogadishu in 1960 and eliminated the robberies and armed bandits off Mogadishu streets.
