I use to go around town trying to locate cheapest phone card without connection fee to call my family in Hargeysa. For $5 dollars I use to get 30 min max on a good day. Now lets just say I can talk all nigh long for FREE thanks to Telesom those days are behind me. Besides, This isn't a competition. This is basically me speaking from experience. You're welcome to believe Puntland is the center of the universe if you wish. I'm not quite honestly bothered by your existence.

Fulayiin talow which xayraan wrote that piece of kutiri kuteen? you have to go all the way to Ugandese forum and spew your hate when you can do it in the convenience of SOL. Cajabay,Cajiib!

In what way; ma mintid nimada? Mukhtar abu zebeyr waa halyey somaliyeed laakin waxaan ka xumahay dad fiican oo la shaqeeya ayuu waayey. I would have loved if he came to Somaliland ruled us instead of South because the people in the South don't want any governance. They are fragment beyond belief and their loyalty for their country and diin is in question. I do not even believe Alshabab is loyal to one another.

Somalis and their total disregard to their fellow country men yet mourn the death of other people from else where. Guys should we also help haiti rebuild their country? how about The U.S gulf coast Oil spill should we look for solution to stop it? C'mon peeps there are enough trouble to go around the world. Yours should be your main concern. The world has dished out its dirt onto Somalia... literally! dumping their toxic waste onto your shores, Caused all this mayhem, watched it happen life. Sent its troops to conquer, killed, maim, rape what is left of the skinny race. and when a group of Somali respond with big boom, the skinnies all of sudden forget whose team they are on. AWW! how cute guys, you want some cookies now from uncle sam. ahaha

Yes we have problems, and we have some ****** trying to ruin it for everyone, but on the whole its a growing vibrant community.. Waryee Dukey! I have asked you a year ago which city of the two, Minneapolis and London you preferred and you answered was London. Now it seems you have gotten the hang of Minnesota. Good to hear. On the topic: I have lived here more than a decade and the Somali community here is the most productive of both Europe and Canada. There were several consecutive isolated incidents involving somali youth gangs commiting crimes against their kind and within the community...and believe me the community is aware and they always talk about it in every gathering. The issue is addressed in Mosques, Islamic conference as well as other gatherings. Secondly, It's my believe that America is nation of Immigrants combining the cultures, experience and talents of various people from different corners of the world. The Somali community have brought their own customs and cultures. The Somali community has kept their known customs intact for most part. Largely due to Madras a and charter schools which teach both English, Somali and Arabic as part of its curriculum. These sorta schools have been hailed successful. The students that go to Somali charter schools have been proven to achieve and perform in far better level than those in state schools. I do not quite understand how the Somali have not embraced the American culture, they have by embracing the American way of life where permissible. however it certain case s it directly conflicts with what believe as a Muslim and not endorsing something that is complete opposite to Islam is not being Un american. For instance, instead of going to the bars, Somalis go to local Cafe shops, Somali socializing spots. Instead of perhaps buying meat from grocery stories, they go to Somali ones. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. These sorta news reports can be misleading. However I have to see the actual report to see if it's dealing with facts. I'm sure there are allot exaggerated thins in it. As I'm sure the Somalis have gotten bad publicity wrap due to dire situation in their country. I'm sure if these TV medias put the same magnified glasses on other communities they would be sured to find out things to make you wonder.

You guys are racist. Oromo girls are hotter than Somalis in my very humble oo walibana xishood ku jiro, opinion.

Mukhtar Abu zebeyr to Uganda "how do you like me now, you blood sucking fufus? Muqdisho to Kampala "welcome to my world".

Telesom=Owned mainly by Somaliland businessmen and stake holders from various areas and operates in all areas. It's also responsible for enabling the technological advances in telecommunication, it's perhaps the leader in telecommunication today in the Horn. But what kinda silly question are you asking the people? Are you now over seeing everything from pirate money, geela tolka to what ads certain clan sites have on their website? Waar wax isku hadh waryee!

Thanks for the kind comments. I agree it's great article that is fair and balanced. But I like to suggest that lets not worry about Ethiopia. They wouldn't be relevant if we had kept our stuff together. Somaliwayne or no Somaliwayne there shouldn't be any excuses as to why Somali people more specifically down south can't get their acts together.

Middle finger to Ethiopia. They can shove it where the sun dont shine.

The citizens' suggestions and concerns keeps pouring in. Ilaahayow Tallada la qabbo Mudane Silaanyo.

Silanyo’s first 100 Days by Soyan Guled Sunday, July 04, 2010 Welcome Mr President the people have spoken loud and clear and voted for change. They placed on your famously broad shoulders their hopes for better tomorrow and they expect you to deliver. Hope has a short shelf-life and euphoria dissipates faster than early morning mist in the Arori plains where you were born. It is vital you act now and act decisively. You must temporarily put aside your well-honed sense of compromise which served your people so well in the past. A different set of skills are demanded of you by history now. Now is your chance to bare your fangs of strength; the ruthless single-mindedness which brought you the reins of leadership after a quest of 30 years. Here are my suggestions for action in your first 100 days Create lean government of the best: Abandon the clan allocation system that so often brought deadwood into the ranks of leadership. Select the best even if they all come from the same village. People have matured and will accept this. Ignore the bands of self-appointed clan bosses who will no doubt cry foul – someone will always cry foul no matter what you do. Act on Qat : History tells us that drugs have destroyed nations in the past and they can do so again. This evil weed has already taken the nation staring into a hellish abyss. It fuels crime, corruption; family breakdowns, mental illness, absenteeism and violence. You can start by banning it from the organised branches of State like the army, police, Prison Services and health workers. This must be enforced ruthlessly if it is to stand a chance of making an impact. Strategy could then be formulated later to get rid of it altogether. Enforce the existing laws against FGM: It is an insult to the nation and an insult to humanity that we still live in a nation which mutilates its little children. Name the most able female Minister in your cabinet to focus on this with targets that this stops within a year. Free the Media: This is probably the easiest of your tasks. Trust the people and give media free reign. Anyone should be able to obtain a licence for running a media outlet provided they could prove they attended three months of training. They can buy a Licence for $1000 annually. You may also consider an initial deposit of $5000 held against committing libel which could then be refunded after 2 years of professional behaviour. Recognition: Form a strategic centre that deals with the issue holistically instead of the headless, shapeless plethora of little groups that run around unled and unguided all over the world. They sometimes do more harm than good. The focus must be on Africa. And it does not have to be full recognition or none. Seek other concessions where full recognition is not forthcoming. Sool &Sanaag: On this occasion retain your moderation and sense of compromise. Avoid violence at any cost. Talk to the leaders who object to Somaliland constantly and with your usual understanding and grace. Bring them into the fold or negotiate honourable separation of those who do not choose to part of Somaliland. Work with the TFG: The two young leaders of the TFG need and I am sure will seek your expertise and guidance in their bid to save the people of Somalia from the jaws of hell. Both Sharif and Sharmarke are thoroughly decent men untainted by the attempted genocide against our people by the Siyad Barre regime. Invite them to Hargeisa. Share your wisdom freely and don’t be swayed by whispered accusations of Pan-Somalism. Their will always whisperers and history has a way of disregarding their pettiness. Fight Al-Qaeda: Make no mistake that Al-Qaeda affiliates inside Somaliland pose an existential threat to this yet unborn nation. The enemy is already within: their ideas are here; their venom seeped into our soil. They already control the thinking of large portions of the people. The fight must of ideas, intelligence as well guns and bullets. The cry must go out loud and clear that we want our beautiful ancient Islam back. Our children must not be brainwashed with alien Wahabbism; our women must not be forced to suffocate under the oppressive blankets of oppression and misogyny. I know this is a lot to ask of a man who already delivered so much in his honourable political lifetime. But the nation demands more. History will ultimately judge you not by all the things you have done yesterday but what you do from today. Thank you Soyan Guled soyan@live.co.uk

Does Qhalib have to chop off some limbs to get clowns to leave his thread? Alshabab are no longer the people I support. They are irrelevent as far as I know. Their war no longer carries any weight hereby justified to any sane person. They have only magnified the suffering of Somali masses and have disappointed me and alot of people who have allot of hope invested in them. markaa maxaa ku taageeraa?

Everyone is a winner. No one in Somaliland regardless of their political affiliation should feel like a loser. At the end, our country won. We held the long awaited elections in style. Our people expressed their choice loudly and clearly and best of all our politicians stepped up to the plate and actually ceded to the victor. Waa ilaahay Mahadiis. God bless Somaliland and its constituents. Qurux Somaliland.
