Non of the Hargeisa districts have a foreign name , i am not sure about hotels , hudheeladi wabay naga batteen they need to be reduces and if you see English names on hotels than that's just for international purposes. People must keep their uniqueness.

And the problem with you guys is that your booto is ridiculous, like the midget who gets rude to the 6'6" guys False nation? there is nothing false about the Somaliland state its unique the state its self and the history testifies on that. Somaliland is the least influenced country. It has no foreign cultural influences it has no Foreign architecture it has its own home grown traditional democracy. These are all facts , and you call it false but than again you are just one of those haters:D

Corruption will always exist and Somalis will always use state institutions to enrich themselves particularly to climb the tribal hierarchy of Somali politics everything is justified in here.

Ofcourse the people of Somaliland have unique history, better than the rest of the horners we can say. We made some errors through out our unique history but we are back on track now:D

Yes STOIC he was an equal offender he had really many poems there were some good poems full of wisdom others were just full of clan bashing with allot of vulgarity, in the first 10 years of the dervish movement he had allot of supporters but after that many abandoned him including his own uncle. And they were trying to survive. Classified the British have not done allot for Somaliland for the Somalilanders to be proud of the British. Had we inherited a capital city like that of Nairobi than that would be awesome. Even the Koonfurians inherited Italian architecture even though they burned it to the ground but still.

The difference is Somaliland police is very capable and very trained and highly professional but its the people of Somaliland who contribute and assist the police and report what ever they see. Every one in Somaliland is on guard. You cant compare Somaliland really with Somalia , in Somalia the locals there are in collaboration with alshabaab they harbor them and give them safe heaven in their homes, they take money from Alshabaab. in Somaliland there is a entire different culture. Terrorists will be hunted down and castrated where ever they are seen. Even the goverment of Somalia hires Ex Terrorists these terrorists are mostly double agents. I want Somaliland police to have a green uniforms looks much better i think.

Yes STOIC he said that but he said the same about many other clans, mostly because the afro hashimates were lets say the vast majority of Somaliland and the most powerful with allot of livestock, and he wanted them on his side. But many of the duriyad communities mistrusted him and jihadi adventures. The brits were in the coastal area's in berbera Bulahaar Zeila laasqoray. But he wanted them out and his dervish jihadist needed resources so they went and took what ever they want and than they said its justified because if they are not with us they are with the infidels.Ina abdulla hassan was a very good poet the problem with his poems though they are very provocative and with allot of obscenity. For example here is addressing the Puntland clans after the wars with Sultan osman of bari

Even the baddest Somaliland Minister claims that he is a Dervish Jihadist in a gabay lol.

Thanks Mintid.. i think Xaglatoosiye message will reach them eventually, they are still in the party mood and Shir afaraad bay ku jiraan i am sure those Qurbujoogs will be enlightened by Xaglatoosiyes wisdom

Congratulations to the Somaliland police, we are proud of you, keeping Somaliland safe.

Xaglatoosiye said what i said before hal qawmiyad baynu nahay telling the world that we are one Ethnic Nation. Second he also said 26 June 1960 is essential i believe those few days that Somaliland was an independent state were crucial. And thats when we became an independent state, and its 18 may is not Somalilands independence day its when Somaliland reclaimed its statehood. So Xaglo is right on this. I think Xaglatoosiye reads SOL.

Good news the reconciliation process should be led by the goverment , the goverment is right on this one.

Are you inferior to Europeans or scared of them the first picture is Sultan Nur at the dervish camp and the European guy is a doctor who flew from Adan with a medical team i think the picture was taken just before the ilig treaty between the dervishes and italians. We are lucky we have those pictures the nomadic Somalis would not take pictures or were not able to do so. They couldn't even paint thats why till this day we have so little history. The other guy with the SNM is a German journalist who wanted to do a report on the SNM. Dadkan qaar reer yurub way ka baqaan , But no my friend Sultan Xassan tarabi said cadaankanu wada loolana madaw ciiseyn meyno.

I posted the top leaders of the dervishes Muhammad abdullah hassan , haji Ahmed warsame Sultan Nur Ahmed aman. Their capital city Taleeh and the beautiful forts the dervishes constructed. How is that distorted. Buran forts in eastern Sanaag Dervish flag

Somaliland dervishes Independence struggle of Somaliland continues SNL USP and NUF parties were formed The Union was established , the union turned into a night mare The SNM war for liberation struggle begins An independent Somaliland finally achieved.

There are many Xuus held for the dervishes in Somaliland there is even an airport named after Sayid Muhamamd abdulla hassan in Taleex

Statues of People are not really permitted in islam but the history of the dervishes and that of Muhammad abdulah hassan is an integral part of Somaliland so the dervish nights are already recognized as heroes in Somaliland.

Pakistan on high alert after Taliban leader killed by US drone strike Government says death of Hakimullah Mehsud has destroyed attempts to hold peace talks with Islamist militants Share 151 inShare6 Email Conal Urquhart, and Jon Boone in Lahore theguardian.com, Saturday 2 November 2013 14.44 GMT Link to video: US drone kills leader of Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud Pakistan's security forces have been put on high alert after a CIA drone attack killed the leader of the country's Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, in the lawless tribal areas. A Pakistani government minister said the strike by an unmanned aircraft on Friday had destroyed attempts to hold peace talks with the militants which began this week. Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, the interior minister, said: "This is not just the killing of one person, it's the death of all peace efforts." His sentiments were echoed by the former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan, who threatened to block lorries carrying supplies to Nato troops in Afghanistan unless the attacks stop. "Dialogue has been broken with this drone attack," said Khan. Mehsud and five other Taliban militants were killed and two others were wounded in the attack after leaving a meeting at a mosque in the Dande Darpa Khel area of North Waziristan. The Pakistani Taliban have named Khan Sayed Sajna as their new leader after a secret meeting of their ruling council. He is described as lacking in formal education but with great military experience. Although Mehsud's death has been wrongly reported in the past, informants in the tribal area said they were confident one of the country's most agressive militant leaders was dead. "He was targeted as he was returning to his home from a nearby mosque where he had been holding discussions with his comrades," said a military officer based in a city close to the semi-autonomous Federally Administered Tribal Areas, a region which is home to many Islamist terrorist groups. "He was right at his front door and at least three missiles were fired." A senior US intelligence official told the Associated Press the US received positive confirmation on Friday morning that he had been killed. A Pakistani Taliban fighter said on Saturday that Mehsud's body was "damaged but recognisable", Reuters reported. Taliban commanders said Mehsud's funeral would be held on Saturday. Mehsud was secretly buried under cover of darkness in the early hours by a few companions amid fears that his funeral might be attacked by U.S. drones. "Every drop of Hakimullah's blood will turn into a suicide bomber," said Azam Tariq, a Pakistani Taliban spokesman. "America and their friends shouldn't be happy because we will take revenge for our martyr's blood." Pakistan's foreign ministry condemned the drone attack as a "violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity". Militant and official sources said Mehsud's driver and bodyguard were among the dead. Of the 60 shura council members attending the meeting, 43 voted in favour of Sayed succeeding Mehsud, according to the Karachi-based Dawn.com. The website said Sayed, 36, was involved in the attack on a naval base in Karachi in May 2011 and masterminded a 2012 jailbreak in which the Taliban freed 400 inmates in the north-western city of Bannu. "Sayed has no basic education, conventional or religious, but he is battle-hardened and has experience of fighting in Afghanistan," an official told Dawn.com. However, other reports suggested that Sheharyar Mehsud had been appointed as caretaker leader, possibly by another shura council. Although Mehsud's four-year tenure as head of Pakistan's most feared militant group has been marked by horrific attacks that have killed scores of soldiers, government officials and civilians, his death looked likely to provoke fury among some politicians who believe the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) should be brought in to peace talks. All political parties unanimously supported government attempts to negotiate with the TTP at a meeting in September. Just this week the prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, announced that talks between the two sides had finally begun. A government official claimed Mehsud had been discussing the matter with fellow fighters just before he was killed, while the Taliban said a government peace delegation was in Miranshah, the regional capital of North Waziristan, at the time of the attack. The country's rightwing religious parties are likely to interpret the drone strike as a deliberate attempt by the US to scupper peace talks with an organisation that swears allegiance to Mullah Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, who fight against Nato troops in the neighbouring country. Sharif, who held meetings with the US president, Barack Obama, in Washington DC last week, has repeatedly called for an end to drone strikes, despite suspicions that Pakistan continues to give secret backing to the attacks. But the US was never likely to turn down an opportunity to kill Mehsud, the mastermind of a devastating suicide bomb attack on a CIA station in Khost province in eastern Afghanistan in 2009 in which seven CIA officers died. The ingenious plot involved a Jordanian triple agent who the CIA believed was working for them but was in fact taking orders from Mehsud. The suicide bomber was ushered into the military base to brief CIA officers on al-Qaida, and detonated his explosive vest once he was inside. In a video filmed before the attack and released afterwards, Mehsud appeared alongside the Jordanian, who said the attack was in retribution for the death of his fellow tribesman and predecessor as Pakistani Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike in August 2009. Saifullah Mahsud, the director of the Pakistani thinktank FATA Research Centre, said the movement was unlikely to be overly affected by the killing of its leader. "It's a very decentralised organisation," he said. "They've lost leaders to drone strikes before." Mehsud's death comes just weeks after the TTP chief took the risky and unusual step of granting an interview to a BBC cameraman who had travelled to Pakistan's north-west. The interview was conducted outside despite the constant presence of drones overhead. In May, a drone strike killed Mehsud's second-in-command, and one of his most trusted lieutenants was captured in Afghanistan last month.

The Qataris have allot of diplomatic muscle in the region and in the Arabian peninsula and the horn of Africa as a whole. they are in the center of every conflict they are the main backers with the Arab league when it comes to new Somali government. They are taking a leading role in many parts of the HOA , the Eritrean Djiboutian conflict they played a vital role in the dialogue between those countries. Qatar is also heavily investing in Ethiopia, Qatar also provides Egypt with allot of aid since the recent conflict there. The tiny qatar state is expanding its sphere of political influence and even though the last Emir stepped down nothing has really changed.

Somalia: Qatar Replaces Egypt as Traditional Arab Power-House Friday, 01 November 2013 21:31 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 qatar-flagqatar-flag Somalilandsun -The tiny Gulf state of Qatar is shaping up to be the "most important Arab actor" in Somalia, even edging out the traditional Arab powerhouse Egypt, says a new report by Mohamed Hussein Gaas, a Norwegian scholar, adding that this is part of a bigger push to expand the rich state's influence in the Horn of Africa. Although Qatar has been carrying out humanitarian efforts in Somalia since the late 1990s, Mr Gaas, argues that such aid — some of it given to politicians who use it to buy political support — intensified after the Islamic Courts Union took power in Mogadishu in 2006. The group was removed from power after Ethiopian forces invaded Somalia, a move that angered many Somalis who later took up arms and forced Addis Ababa to withdraw its troops after two years of bloody confrontation. Mr Gaas's report says Qatar's foray into the Horn of Africa started when it tried to broker a deal between Eritrea and Djibouti over a dispute rooted in disagreements over the Ras Doumeira mountains that in general are claimed to belong to Djibouti. In June 2010, a seven-point agreement was announced by Qatar, and both countries accepted the establishment of a committee consisting of two members from each country led by Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim to help resolve the demarcation issue. The 2009 withdrawal of Ethiopian forces from Somalia presented Qatar an opportunity to change tack away from Eritrea and Djibouti and focus more on Somalia. "Today Qatar is perhaps the most important Arab actor in Somalia, even surpassing ... Egypt," says the report. Egypt — now mired in turmoil of its own making after the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi — had strong ties with Somalia before Mogadishu's central government imploded, plunging the Horn of Africa nation into a chaos that lasted more than two decades. The report says Qatar's foreign policies sometimes lead to strained ties with regional powerhouses who are not happy with its interventions. In April 2008, Ethiopia cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, saying that Doha supports Eritrea, Addis Ababa's arch enemy. Qatar denied the Ethiopian allegations, and now the two countries have restored ties. "Qatari politics thus shows the combination of considerable pragmatism but also considerable will to follow a separate Qatari line of politics despite pressure from, for example, the United States and Saudi Arabia. Qatar is not out to just appease or get recognition from these actors," says the report, which also touches on the Gulf state's intervention policies in Yemen, Lebanon, Eritrea and Syria. Mr Gaas's piece is part of a larger, compartmentalised report attempting to explain Qatar's foreign policy engagement in Africa and the Middle East. Analysts said it is hard to say for sure how much Doha spends in Somalia, both as budgetary support and as humanitarian aid. But they estimate that it runs into hundreds of millions of dollars. "Like other Arab countries' monetary support for Somalia, Doha's assistance is shrouded in secrecy," said Abdiwahab Sheik Abdisamad, Horn of Africa specialist at Kenyatta University's Department of History and Political Science in Kenya. Mr Abdisamad, however, said Qatar's involvement in Somalia is "good" for Somalia, because "Doha can lobby Mogadishu's interest in both Arab and Western arenas." A recent UN report showed how Doha had manoeuvred to have its favourite candidate, the current head of state, elected to presidency. The UN report said that President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud had received several million dollars from Qatar, which was used to buy political support. "Qatar played an important role in funding the election campaign of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and continues to be a key financial and political partner of the Federal Government of Somalia," said the UN Monitoring Group report on Somalia, noting that Doha had also tried to help Mogadishu in its attempts to co-opt Islamists. The report said Qatar depends on Somali professionals who live in its country to carry out its policies in the Horn of African nation. Qatar's tools of influence in Africa and the Middle East include diplomatic efforts; controlled aid programmes often through non-state actors, and on rare occasions, military support in a conflict zone. The report adds that although the Gulf state's support for Somalia was "limited in scale and without the actual presence of any Qatari humanitarian organisations in the country," yet it provided "an important entry, building up local connections and a positive image that, along with its Islamic credentials, enhanced its legitimacy not necessarily in the wider Somali population but in the eyes of Islamic charities and Islamic organisations including the Muslim Brotherhood in Somalia." "Qatar will remain an important foreign policy actor in the future," said the report. Source: theeastafrican.co.ke
