Yeah do you think a Clan Mullah who died 4 decades before Somalilands independence made any one leave , the only thing he left was his wife Naado buraale. Loool@ Cumar jeess

Somalilanders will remember the history of their nation every single individual or citizen of Somaliland who have lost a loved one during hardship of the former Dictatorial regime shall be remembered, There is no country in the world that does not remember its history, and those who have shed blood for the re independence of the republic of Somaliland Will also be remembered and will go down in the history as heroes protecting their country and people from a dictatorial regime.Somalilanders do not ask an apology from any one or a group or clan Community it's quiet appalling that you Accuse Somalilanders and the SNM of indoctrinating their Citizens of hate for Somalia or its Neighbors While we all know some SNM leaders were Unionist while some wanted a free and an independent state for the people of Somaliland, Somalilanders opened their doors for the Somali Speaking people from Somalia and even to the Somali Speaking people from Ethiopia Abtigis and his Folks. The SNM were merely freedom fighters and they succeeded were many other rebel groups failed. God bless Somaliland

Dabrow Kenya isn't a big threat to Somalias Peace and stability all they fear is an Alshabab border Clash.. Ethiopia is a different story that's why i didn't mention them. Indeed we should welcome this it does not mean necessarily they agree but where there is a will there is a way.

What are you talking about its good that Somalia becomes a functioning state again and they put their differences a side its good for all the neighbors of Somalia Kenya and Somaliland that Somalia's statehood is re-established with Viable institutions. There is nothing to worry about maybe you are worried or something.

No it does not worry me at all i think this as a good sign , i have been saying this for years the Shabaab and TFG need to talk and reconcile and compromise.

Somali PM says govt has held informal talks with al Shabaab * Says too early to talk incentives, conditions * Roadmap can be implemented if donors stump up cash * Says region working together get famine aid into rebel areas By Sahra Abdi and Richard Lough NAIROBI, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Somalia is open to talks with al Shabaab's top commanders and informal discussions already held suggest a willingness among some militants to lay down arms and negotiate, the country's prime minister said on Friday. Somalia's beleaguered government is desperate to consolidate security gains after the al Qaeda-linked rebels retreated from the capital Mogadishu last month, as it faces the task of holding elections by August, 2012. "We are open to dialogue with ... any organisation that's going to reach (out) to us, work with us to bring peace and stability to Somalia," Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali told Reuters. "We don't have formal talks with (al Shabaab) but here and there we talk to them and maybe there is some willingness from some of them to lay down their arms and negotiate," Ali said in an interview. http://af.reuters.com/article/commoditiesNews/idAFL5E7K90YU20110909?pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0

WikiLeaks: BOMBINGS BLAMED ON OLF POSSIBLY THE WORK OF Government of Ethiopia ETHIOPIA: RECENT BOMBINGS BLAMED ON OROMOS POSSIBLY THE WORK OF GOE http://wikileaks.org/cable/2006/10/06ADDISABABA2708.html Classified By: CHARGE VICKI HUDDLESTON FOR REASONS 1.4(b)AND(d). ¶1. (S) SUMMARY A series of explosions were reported in Addis Ababa on September 16, killing three individuals. The GoE announced that the bombs went off while being assembled, and that the three dead were terrorists from the outlawed Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) with links to the Oromo National Congress (ONC). An embassy source, as well as clandestine reporting, suggests that the bombing may have in fact been the work of GoE security forces. END SUMMARY ¶2. (U) On September 16, three bomb explosions were reported in the Kara Kore area of Addis Ababa. The explosions were heard at 4:45 a.m., 7:00 a.m., and 10:00 a.m. The National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS), together with the Federal Police Anti-terror Task Force later reported that the bombs were "part of a coordinated terror attack by the OLF and Sha'abiya (Eritrea) aimed at disrupting democratic development." The NISS said that the intended terror plot had failed and the bombs had mistakenly gone off while the suspects were preparing them while hiding out at an illegally built house. Two of the suspects died immediately, while another died on the way to the hospital. One other is in critical condition. The police task force reported having others in custody related to the plot and that evidence shows the terrorists had ties to Oromo groups - the Mecha and Tulema Association (MTA) and the ONC. They also said that the bombs used contained parts sourced from Eritrea and were consistent with bombs used in previous terrorist attacks. ¶3. (S) On September 20, Dr. Merera Gudina (strictly protect), the former leader of the ONC (and a typically reliable information source), contacted Post to report that the deceased had not died not while constructing a bomb, but rather at the hands of GoE cadres. Dr. Merera said that the men had been picked up by police a week prior, kept in detention and tortured. He said police then left the men in a house and detonated explosives nearby, killing 3 of them. He did not indicate whether the men were ONC or OLF affiliated. ¶4. (S) Clandestine reporting indicates that the bombs did not explode inside the structure, but rather appear to have been placed outside and detonated. HUDDLESTON

Khadra Gaydh: The first” Madam Mayor” in Somaliland Posted on 07/09/2011 Gabiley- Senior female workers are increasing at public offices both in central and local level since the onset of democracy and multiple parties in Somaliland. It was in December 2002 when two women councilors were elected at district councils of Gabilay and Berbara. Khadra Gaydh was one of these two ladies. Again, in late 2005, two other ladies were voted into the parliament, and one of them was nominated as a minister. Currently more than three women hold high positions in the Somaliland Government, including Ministers of Education, Family, and Labor & Social Affairs and the Vice Minister of Health. It was the first time however; a female opted for Mayor’s Office at a District Council when Khadra Gayd was selected to the Office of the Mayor at the Gabilay district. She is the seventh Mayor to take this office since the inauguration of democracy in the country and elections of local council were initiated. Mrs. Khadra is a competent, visionary and motivated Mayor. She has served as a Council member for four years and vice mayor for almost six years at the Gabilay District. During that period, she gained abundant experience in local government administration and provision of services. People in her district, mainly men, had mixed reactions when the news of her nomination as the Mayor was released; however, the interesting question is what inspired her to become a Mayor? In replying to this, she says “As a child, I loved being a social worker and had a dream to once in my life time to make difference to my community”. Despite the short period of time she has been in the office, Khadra has accomplished remarkable tasks to improve services delivery for the community. The following projects have already been realized under her leadership; among them some are at the finishing stage: Accomplishments Construction of a public garage of 17×37 meters Construction of two tarmac roads of 500 meters each are underway Construction of 2 km of tarmac road Construction of a district meeting hall of 5X12 meters Rehabilitation of 21 offices and fences of the local government. Similarly, the Mayor pronounced the projects in the plan for rest of this year: Fencing of all municipal compounds Construction of two rooms for police station at the Kalabayd check point 500 meters of tarmac road in Kalabaydh Town planning for Kalabaydh Clearance of roads in the Gabilay town. Obviously, being a Mayor is not an easy task. And to become one, it takes several stages of determined work and mind: one must join a political party, then become a Council member by gaining votes from the constituents and finally run for the Office of the Mayor. Above all, it is a challenging task for women to reach this level in a country and a continent where stigma and violence against women are high. We can only imagine how tough it was for Khadra to get above 21 male councillors and progress to the Office of the Mayor. The Mayor is the most senior post in a district and makes decisions which may have an impact to the lives of thousands of citizens. Therefore, one may simply foresee challenges and obstacles that lie ahead. Mrs. Khadra asserted that there were numerous challenges in her initial days at the Office of Mayor, but later the situation gradually changed as activities progressed. In general, public perception in Somaliland towards women reflects them as less capable, but the truth comes out when this is tested. Khadra’s successful attempts to become a Mayor is part of ending the long-standing negative cultural stereotype and pave the way for other ambitious women who intended to reach higher posts at the public, such as Governor. “Let’s dare to join political parties, and believe that women can make better services to their community” she said when asked what message to convey to her fellow ladies in Somaliland.

I hate qabil topics and i think we should not have qabil topics in sol so its needs to be deleted

The Ashahado la dirir are known for their infamous anti Islamic actions

Xiinfanin is not pointing out the internal difficulties Farooles administration is facing,, faroole has not addressed the grievousness of the Local Raaraascaseyr Community he annihilated them by not sending even a single delegation for talks. His talks or reconciliation attempts with Atam to include Sheikh Maxammad atam in his cabinet also ended in Smoke maybe lack of diplomacy or perhaps he was just not willing to have peace with him. Faroole hasn't achieved anything incredible or worth mentioning, other than the so called Somalia tournament he should become a football tournament organizer.His way to combat piracy ended up in training his navy forces in landlocked Ethiopia in Melez zanaws Swimming pool. Last but not least his admin wanted to capture a single man in galkacyo and ended up shelling an entire neighborhood which resulted a death toll over 30, that was unnecessary .Another problem is most Clans are still armed to the teeth in the semi autonomous region of Puntland this,will cause many problems it will undermine the central authority. Now there is just peace between the various clans in the region and understanding but the situation is fragile no one knows when it can explode.
