Waa wareey! Alpha your dhaqancelis period is completed, you have to come back to Uk. otherwise you will learn more old school hargeisa tribal issue which is very dirty for your age. Lets us concentrate 'biotechnology' and food analysis which is my specialty and we should not jump personal and tribal analysis which is dangerous game for your age. I thought that this discussion was 20 century discussion and I thought that every one of us knows that he/she eats more or less weekly GMO food. Check this list and ask your self how oven you use this product Yes Carafaat the biggest problem of GMO is that the seeds being intellectual property and thus patented by large multinationals. But patented issue is only for rich countries. Pakistan and Idea re produce so many patented medicines, china copied every thing from those who come with blue print of their prototypes for cheap industrialization. Why should Africa worried for patent rights.

Hunger is the greatest eval on the earth. As long as Africa can't feed its 1 billion ppl use of Biotechnology is better off. Sheekadii gaalada dharagtay ayaad noola imanaysiin

Beautiful pic's from event by BBC NewsAFRICA: In pictures: Somaliland goes crazy for books

Haatu not every thing need to make tribal decision. Berbera waa magaalo ka ilbaxsan Hargeisa before monkeys came from mountains.

Hargeisa must tolerate different culture to become Cosmopolitan city, other wise it will be large village like Burao. This could not hapinied in Berbera

Somali pirates now protecting illegal fishing ships, says UN report Published July 25, 2013 Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – Frustrated by a string of failed hijacking attempts, Somali pirates have turned to a new business model: providing "security" for ships illegally plundering Somalia's fish stocks — the same scourge that launched the Horn of Africa's piracy era eight years ago. Somali piracy was recently a fearsome trend that saw dozens of ships and hundreds of hostages taken yearly, but the success rate of the maritime hijackers has fallen dramatically over the last year thanks to increased security on ships and more effective international naval patrols. Somali pirate gangs in search of new revenue are now providing armed protection for ships illegally fishing Somali waters. Erstwhile pirates are also trafficking in arms, drugs and humans, according to a report published this month by the U.N. Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea. The security services for fishermen bring piracy full circle. Somali pirate attacks were originally a defensive response to illegal fishing and toxic waste dumping off Somalia's cost. Attacks later evolved into a clan-based, ransom-driven business. Up to 180 illegal Iranian and 300 illegal Yemeni vessels are fishing Puntland waters, as well as a small number of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and European-owned vessels, according to estimates by officials in the northern Somali region of Puntland. International naval officials corroborate the prevalence of Iranian and Yemeni vessels, the U.N. report said. Fishermen in Puntland "have confirmed that the private security teams on board such vessels are normally provided from pools of demobilized Somali pirates and coordinated by a ring of pirate leaders and associated businessmen operating in Puntland, Somaliland, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, Yemen and Iran," the report said. The "security" teams help vessels cast nets and open fire on Somali fishermen in order to drive away competition. "The prize is often lucrative and includes large reef and open water catch, notably tuna," the report says. The nearly 500-page U.N. report also accuses Somalia's government of wide-ranging corruption. Somalia's president said in response that the report contains "numerous inaccuracies, contradictions and factual gaps." "We are pleased to see the huge reduction in piracy, and yet equally concerned by the reports of increased criminality. We have much work to do to create legitimate livelihoods and deter Somalis from crime," President Abdirahman Omar Osman said. Somali piracy has been lucrative. The hijackings of 149 ships between April 2005 and the end of 2012 netted an estimated $315 million to $385 million in ransom payments, according to an April World Bank report. But fishermen who have participated in piracy might argue that the attacks were merely bringing back money stolen from Somalis. A 2005 British government report estimated that Somalia lost $100 million in 2003-04 alone due to illegal tuna and shrimp fishing in Somali waters. In Somalia, pirates sometimes refer to themselves as "saviors of the sea." A piracy expert at the International Maritime Bureau, said the protection racket makes for a "potentially dangerous situation at sea." "I guess the region has always been rich in this kind of organized crime," said Cyrus Mody. "I think that probably the positive side of all this is it's being highlighted which would hopefully give the government in place now enough movement to try and do something about it with the help of the EU and U.N." Piracy peaked in 2009 and 2010, when 46 and 47 vessels were hijacked respectively, according to the European Union Naval Force. Hijackings dropped to 25 in 2011, five in 2012 and zero so far this year. Still, Somali pirates netted an estimated $32 million in ransoms last year, the U.N. report said. One current pirate said he did not know about pirates providing protection to foreign fishing vessels, but he said some pirates are using Yemeni fishermen to smuggle weapons into Puntland. "That's our current money-making business because ship hijackings have failed," a pirate commander who goes by the name Bile Hussein said by phone from Garacad, a pirate lair in central Somalia. "If you drop one business, you get an idea for another." ___ Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/07/25/somali-pirates-now-protecting-illegal-fishing-ships-says-un-report/#ixzz2cqRNF7wz

Much of the new investment has come at a time of financial retrenchment for the diaspora and is concurrent with the explosion of piracy. If low-key new house and car ownership is linked to piracy, it tallies well with the results from the previous sections that a) a considerable proportion of ransom money is spent in-country, b) pirates’ spending choices are influenced by social norms limiting conspicuous consumption, and c) such expenditure is concentrated inland rather than on the coast. The imagery from Eyl and Hobyo suggests that the coastal communities have not experienced an economic boom. "

Che -Guevara;974554 wrote: Illegal fishery? How does one illegally fish one's own fishery? And what does any criminal activity have to do with the general public of any society. By your logic, we should call Europeans and Asians thieves because trawlers emptying the Somali sea hail from those regions? If local authority or other local gangs received payment from illegal fishery companies than it goes local economy and it effects general public of any society. just read UN report to understand this

Somalia;974552 wrote: How much do these activities contribute to the local economy; Thanks! according world bank report pirate annual ransom payment US$53 million average check by your self 80% of that ransom goes to PL rest to XX Also is there a headquarter for the human trafficking association (HTA) and finally can you shed some light on the illegal fishery that is taking place; just read last report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea 2013 You will find nr's how many Iranian ships fishing in the area under PL protection. How illegal do you think, on a scale of 1 to 10 is it to fish in your waters? Illegal fishers bay ransom many for their protection and fishery quote to administration ( see UN report) If you can tell me any other export product which pay better than this activity (with reference) I will change my mind and how i call that part of Somalia

Che is this Insulting or fact? if they change from pirate state to serious state and they stop three illegal activity: Pirate (GDP n0:1), Illegal fishery and human trafficking and try to develop honest business like the one they are trying, I will not use that word any more and I'll give Xaal

Somaliland’s book fair by Economist A haven of jollity and calm Aug 21st 2013, 17:34 by J.F. | HARGEISA THE still unrecognised republic of Somaliland has been parading its de facto independence from its battered bigger brother, Somalia, with an international book fair in its self-styled capital, Hargeisa. Along with the reopening of a revamped international airport, the fair was intended to show the world that Somaliland is open for business, especially with the West. At the jamboree, the literary talents of Somaliland were on display. Though Nadifa Mohamed, a novelist listed among Granta’s “Best of Young British Novelists for 2013”, was not there this year, her latest work, “The Orchard of Lost Souls”, recently published in London, was much mentioned. A largely British foreign line-up included Michela Wrong, author of books on Congo, Eritrea and Kenya; Mary Harper, author of “Getting Somalia Wrong”; a Scots poet and translator, W.N. Herbert; a Nigerian, Chuma Nwokolo; and a Kenyan poet, Phyllis Muthoni. Cheers and ululations in a packed auditorium greeted Hadraawi, Somaliland’s national poet. The fair, now in its sixth year, is the brainchild of two diaspora Somalilanders, Jama Musse Jama, a businessman based in Italy, and Ayan Mahamoud, who lives in London, where she has run an annual Somali Week festival for several years. Prominent among the sponsors of the Hargeisa event were a number of “frontier” private-equity funds interested in oil and mineral rights. One of its unstated aims was to persuade Westerners that Somaliland is safe and stable. Compared with Somalia, whose capital, Mogadishu, is still periodically clobbered by suicide-bombers, dusty, bustling Hargeisa seems a haven of jollity and calm.
