US official: Mali intervention 'could take years' By KIRUBEL TADESSE | Associated Press – 13 mins ago ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — A U.S. official is warning that the French-led military intervention in Mali could take years. Don Yamamoto said Monday the French intervention is only the first phase, and that there should be no illusion that success will come quickly. Yamamoto said the U.S. would like to see an African-led, -owned and -directed operation like the one that successfully pushed militants out of Somalia's capital after several years of warfare. Yamamoto, a top State Department official on Africa, spoke at an African Union summit in Addis Ababa. The U.S. has been providing military transport to move French troops and equipment. The U.S. flew one refueling mission on Sunday, delivering 33,000 pounds of fuel, the U.S. military's Africa Command said. The African Union hosts a donors conference Tuesday for Mali.

Metta that's not true this has nothing to do with the conference in London and the brits do not care whether SL and Somalia unite or they stay apart. It doesn't hurt British interests, the Brits approach was always we are good friends with Somaliland have relations with Somaliland,even they assisted SL with some bilateral aid projects not much but. This started in 2010 how ever their spies in east Africa probably gave an intell that there was a threat against British interests hence the reaction they gave. And this is something that happened occasionally the same thing happened in 2009 they are not willing to take risks. On recognition for SL they were a colonial power they will not take steps in partitioning in east African country. How ever even the labour goverment of Tony blair indicated that SL should some how engage in talks with the TFG of cabdilahi Yusuf in order to win recognition. But the SL goverment said that they will only talk to legitimate goverment for Somalia and on neutral grounds and as long as its being mediated between the 2 countries on equal terms.So the brits are not pushing or taking sides between Somaliland and Somalia. They repeatedly called for dialogue between Somaliland and Somalia and i firmly believe the talks will happen before may whether they bear fruit or not that's to be awaited. All in all this was just lose alarm and the brits are paranoid specially in Africa.

Good news

looooooooooooooooooooool haa interatpgereyn lol

Maybe Godane threatened Matt Baugh who knows.

Yeah but its easier said than done SL should encourage the industrialization process of the country, and investing in human resources is an excellent phenomena. But because the lack of disparity in SL economic management this hasn't been achieved yet. It should establish an economic management institute and It should try to make new laws. Former Finance Minister tried that so that its citizens try to be creative and he advocated replacing foreign imports with domestic production of goods. The private financial sectors are already growing rapidly i agree people should not be fixated on the resources of a country its good if its there. But the economic growth can be implemented using other methods but its a slow process it requires the right leadership and political reform, and ofcourse incentive creativity is needed to. It should first focus on the first step to create small manufacturing companies which will try to fill the gap of what all Somaliland consumes and the next phase should be one that targets the larger Foreign markets in the region so Somaliland has a long way to go but it will get there Inshallah.

This is the average elderly Somali looks like hawk nose and the red beard This is how the average Sudanese elderly looks like not a hawk nose also red beard

Because we are patriarchal, we just count our fathers side but I bet you if you ask about your grandmothers, their mothers etc i.e. if you follow the women, you will find out we are all mongrels. I asked my mum to do a small map for me by asking: 1. What clan was my father's mother? 2.What clan is your mother? 3. What clan was my father's grandmother? 4. What clan was your grandmother? 5. How about the clans of the husbands of all these women? You get the picture! I was astounded that just 4 generations into the map, I counted 5 different clans, from cagdheers, to reer gedo, to certain sections of SLers - all different from if I follow just my father's line, and his father and so on. So if you do, what in social sciences they call "intensity scoring", even though you are say sand-dweller, 70% of you might be something else. Intensity scoring meaning you give a score to a given response every time you here that answer. Some people can trace the lineage of their mother and know the Abtirsinyo of their mothers , waliga manad maqlin waan adeeraynahay waan abtiyasanahay. But its true Somalis , xooga waxay saraan abaha.

Qansax they have thick jareer hair most Xabashis and are short and the vast majority of the Xabashis are darker than Somalis and have flat faces. Maybe you have seen some from Gojam and Gonder Light Skin Amharas. But the vast majority looks like this big eyes not a big forehead like us This is how the typical habasha look short kinkey hair and brown to dark brown facial features aren't sharp either Look at the hair thats the typical Habasha loook Look at the flat faces and not sharp features nappy hair and they are short and they very dark 2

Amiir godane is threatening the English:D

Bring out the oil bring out the resources SL should pursue a Foreign policy that is more based on economic resourcefulness which will lead to great economic growth for Somaliland and the Somaliland people.

Somaliland: exploration in ‘Africa’s 55th state’ Hussein Abdi Dualeh, the new oil minister of Somaliland, estimates that reserves in the former British protectorate could be in the billions of barrels. Fatima Al Marzooqi / The National Until 2010, Hussein Abdi Dualeh worked as a simple project manager in Los Angeles overseeing the use of natural gas as fuel for cars. It was a natural progression given his downstream engineering experience and his career start in the UAE as a salesman out of high school, marketing lubricants for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. Those days are past. On a trip back to Abu Dhabi this month, Mr Dualeh was feted at a table of honour, knee to knee with Mohammed Al Hamli, the UAE Minister of Energy, and Tony Hayward, the former BP chief executive, in the heart of the luxurious Yas Viceroy hotel. Later, after delivering one of the keynote speeches of the morning to executives from the world’s supermajors, he enjoyed a cruise around the island before retiring to his suite. Such is the life of the new oil minister of Somaliland. His rapid rise to power is a product of politics and the reemergence of companies questing for oil and gas in a place that has yet to secure its statehood. Like Greenland and Iraqi Kurdistan, where wildcatters are drilling deep for oil, Somaliland administers itself by and large on its own, yet has not been recognised as a country by the United Nations. Like them, it also hopes hydrocarbons can ease its path to statehood. “You know what really carries the day is not politics, it’s geology,” said Mr Dualeh. “If the geology is good, all bets are off.” Somaliland has ample history to overcome. In the late 1980s, Chevron was drilling and Conoco laying airstrips thanks to oil concessions granted by the central Somalian government, which included the former Italian colony that today is known as Somalia and, to the north, the former British protectorate that calls itself Somaliland. In 1991, militias overtook the capital of Mogadishu and deposed the government, sending Somalia into lawlessness and famine and leading foreign companies to declare force majeure. That year Somaliland declared independence. “We actually think of ourselves as the 55th state in Africa,” said Mr Dualeh, pointing out that companies operating there are publicly traded in London and enjoy ample legal counsel. “If you have a company that has a lot of interests in Somaliland, for the safety of their interests they would rather see a full state that they’re dealing with – so it will only hasten the day that we’re being recognised.” This time around, three independents have signed up to explore Somaliland, the best known of which is led by Mr Hayward – Genel Energy, the Turkish operator in Kurdistan. Genel is to start surveying next month and expects to drill its maiden well at the start of next year, part of a regional exploration programme that includes Morocco and the Ivory Coast. “The challenge is given the very high quality assets in Kurdistan, how do you replicate it as you go outside?” said Mr Hayward. “Really the only way to do that is through exploration, so what we were looking for is frontier exploration opportunities where we thought there was a possibility of finding large fields.” No one knows how much oil could be underground, in part because the exploration campaigns under the previous government were so brief. Mr Dualeh estimates that reserves could be in the billions of barrels, although he stops short of imagining a future with million-barrel-a-day output and ascendancy to Opec. Beyond exploration, he hopes to transform the port of Berbera – a three-berth harbour that today exports sheep and frankincense – into an international fuel shipping hub, taking advantage of its deepwater geology and proximity to the Asian maritime transit route. A road and railway are also planned between Somaliland and Ethiopia, with a pipeline for Ethiopian hydrocarbons under discussion. Hopes are high for international companies such as DP World that could invest millions of dollars to transform Berbera into a world-class commercial port. The drive to industrialise Somaliland came about three years ago with the arrival of a new president, who Mr Dualeh had served as US campaign manager. (A substantial diaspora in America furnishes votes and campaign funds.) The president then tapped him to lead the energy ministry, where he remains the only petroleum engineer. Mr Dualeh recalled working in the United States 20 years ago and, from afar, following Chevron and Conoco’s short-lived exploration campaign. “They were drilling and I would read this in the papers and say, ‘Oh God, I wish I could be a part of this operation,’” he said. “And guess what? I now have the whole thing in my hands.” The National

Britain warns of threat in Somaliland AAP January 28, 2013 1:45AM BRITAIN'S Foreign Office has urged its nationals to leave the self-declared nation of Somaliland, warning of a "specific" threat against Westerners in the northern Somali region. Britain had similarly warned of a "specific and imminent threat to Westerners" in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Thursday and urged its citizens to leave, swiftly followed by Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and France. The Foreign Office said it already advises against all travel to war-torn Somalia including Somaliland - a rare area of relative stability - but now urged any remaining citizens to pull out. "We are now aware of a specific threat to Westerners in Somaliland, and urge any British nationals who remain there against our advice to leave immediately," the ministry said in a statement on Sunday. "As our travel advice continues to make clear, kidnapping for financial or political gain, motivated by criminality or terrorism, remains a threat throughout Somalia." A Foreign Office spokesman declined to give an estimate of how many British citizens were currently in Somaliland. "There are quite a lot of people who have dual Somali and British nationality who travel back and forward to the area, as well as a number of NGOs operating in Somaliland," he told AFP. While anarchic southern Somalia has been riven by years of fighting between multiple militia forces, the former British protectorate of Somaliland has enjoyed relative peace. It won independence from Britain in 1960 but days later joined with Somalia. In 1991, after years of bitter war with the government in Mogadishu, it declared independence from the rest of the country.

Britons urged to leave Somaliland Continue reading the main story Britons urged to leave Benghazi All British nationals in Somaliland should leave immediately because of "a specific threat to Westerners", the UK Foreign Office has said. It was already advising against travel to Somalia, including Somaliland, and now says any Britons in Somaliland despite its advice should leave. It says kidnapping "motivated by criminality or terrorism" remains a threat throughout Somalia. Last week, a similar warning was issued for Britons to leave Libya's Benghazi. "We are now aware of a specific threat to Westerners in Somaliland and urge any British nationals who remain there against our advice to leave immediately," the Foreign Office (FCO) said in a statement. It said it would not comment on the nature of the threat. The FCO website warns that in the southern and central regions of Somalia "there is ongoing serious violence, dangerous levels of criminal activity and general internal insecurity". It says attacks "could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers". And it adds: "Following the death of Osama Bin Laden, terrorist groups operating in Somalia have made threats against Westerners and those working for Western organisations in Somalia, including Somaliland." The northern territory of Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991 and wants to remain separate from the rest of the country. But Mogadishu wants Somaliland to be part of a single Somali state. Somaliland unilaterally declared independence after the overthrow of Siad Barre - who led Somalia's last functioning national government.

The imam was classified as a Somali maybe not belonging to the Major Somali tribes thats why we cant identify his exact identity Fatuh al habasha mentioned the Imam , as Imam Ahmed ibrahim not attaching him to any Somali group. But the fact that he was born Zeila and his army consisted mostly of Somalis including the 2 important commands the Imam was leading were under 2 Somali Generals. But its a well known fact that Bati del Wambara the wife of the Imam was half Somali on her maternal side.

Or he could be the Ethnic Somalilander based in Mogadishu who joined the ranks of the USC few days before the fall of Gen siyad bare , walahi waxad mooda in dhoobadu meel laga wada qaaday

The legacy of Mujahid Ahmed ibrahim , wonderful

Sudaantu way ino yara eegyihin but they down have the famous hawk nose but i love their white clothing i am in love with their traditional white clothing. The habash i can tell from a miles away they have bug eyes always check the habash his eyes they are huge they have flat heads most of the time and nappy hair and they're short, these people look nothing like Somalis , Us Somalis are tall and have normal eyes the only thing we share with the habash is the hawk nose even though many habashis have flat noses. Ofcourse non horners can't tell the differences and they consider these folks from the same stock but horners can tell the difference.
