^lol, You made me laugh out loud but in all honesty you're expressing my sentiments there. I want Sanaag and Mudug to progress to the final, the two underdogs.

^Yes Sanaag to come through against the mighty Bari Boys. I don't know regarding Mudug but I think the semi-final is actually to be decided still as Sool beat Nugaal 1:0 in the plenary before progressing to the semi-final stage yesterday. As for the Boys of Mudug they still in the tournament I guess but come tomorrow I fear the worst as the Champions Sool are in high spirit and good form but in football everything is possible. Come on Mudug.

Tomorrow the State will get adequate Symbols to represent it and we will drop our old ones in exchange for the new ones, inshallaah!

^So who did the match fixings, then? Only because Cayn got relegated that doesn't mean, that there was any match fixing involved. You can always cheer for Mudug as sadly Nugaal got relegated.

Thus at the semi-final stage it is: Sanaag vs Bari I will be cheering for Sanaag in there. And Mudug vs Sool I will be cheering for Mudug (my other home region) but I have a slight feeling that the Champions of Sool will go through all the way to the finals to possibly meet Bari, this two are definitely the two strongest contenders in this tournament.

December 16, 2009 Xulka gobolka Sanaag ayaa waxaa ay galabta ka badiyeen xulka gobolka Ceyn kuwaas oo ku hardamay garoonka Kubadda Cagta ee Mire Awaare Stadium halkaas ay ka socoto Ciyaaraha gobolada Puntland kaas oo galay wejiga ugu adkaa badan.

The latest update is that the tournament is definitely heating up as it reached the Semi-final stage. So far from Group A: Sool and Bari progressed through the group stages and onto the semifinals thus relegating Highlan and Nugaal (sadly) my home region. From Group B: Sanaag and Mudug made it out of the group and into the semifinals relegating Karkaar and Cayn respectively from the group.

More over the rise and developing of working together between the Puntland government in one hand and the large Diaspora on the other, namely the emergence of the Puntland Diaspora Forum a huge and remarkable step into connecting the State with the many talents in Europe, North America, Australasia, Africa and the Middle East and Asia: How remarkable and what a great achievement that was:

Building and strengthening the capabilities of the Police force is another such task and outlining a new strategy by introducing newly trained police units such as the combined Bol-Bir is helping the government in keeping the State and its people secure. An attack on them is an attack on us, combined.

Building a strong and capable army that will instill trust and confidence in the people and citizens of Puntland in its own army and its capabilities is one such development but I won't go futher into this matters: Parliament was unwavering in this matter and played a crucial role:

Furthermore Parliaments session and sitting this year has been extended for a few days as Puntland is rapidly developing and several motions and laws have to be rectified, passed and adopted by the Parliament. The items and bills are huge 10 or 11 in total number that will see Puntland doing a great leap towards accountability and democracy in due time inshallaah.

Today Parliament is doing huge strives in being accountable by cross examining and inviting different ministers and even the president in order to show what they have been doing the last couple of months as in the case of the Finance Minister as he found out: Finance Minister Faarax Cali Shire finding himself in the hotseat.

^Karkaar xaal ayaan siinayaa ee maandhow iga raali noqda.

A fully aware, functioning and working legislative on top of an competent execute! The discussions can get very heated though sometimes but better than fighting it out with guns:

The first task was building and forming a functioning and able government that is very strong and cohesive and have a good knowledge and insight in the works and politics of a vast State like Puntland. Today the ministers we have are unequalled anywhere in Somalia in terms of trust, experience, knowledge and education. Indeed a first class achievement that is:

Last couple of months there have been huge leaps in the development and identity of Puntland's society and plus huge political successes since the new government took charge of Puntland some 11 months ago. Faroole and his team have done a lot. More needs to be done though.

No, I said it a long time ago. A&T suffers from attention seeking syndrome to a point he feels, he needs to pen obscene and x-rated stories in order to shock us. But at the long term he will be of no use because he's not that reliable. I've known this character of him for a while now and it is true that he's no enemy of the state although he might have some 'kaftan' as he likes to call it with a certain segment of the state but nothing to get worked over.

^A&T this won't wash with us adeer we are no children afterall. You asked for it now harvest the seeds you have been planting. On our side the issue is not done and dusted and we as the wise counsel of men from that region it is not how we do conclude such things nor is it the somali way. You are either a complete numb and mad person who is suffering from some ailment, then if that is the case we will not further pursue the matter however if not this leaves us little room to navigate from, we will teach you better ways. We cannot be duped by your clear charade of ill-attempted trying of hiding the vindictive spitefulness and bigotry you have been spewing here for the last couple of days. This is what you have been asking for no going back now.

Weligaaba inaad dab holcaayo shiddid baad kaga carartaaye tani ku baxini mayso adeer. Waa siday u holcayso hadal kastana aad tidhaahdina iyo berya toona wax kaa damiya lama arko.

^Sxb your friend A&T is a deeply confused and troubled mildly schizophrenic man who after doing havoc the last couple of days sees refuge in his 'other' personality trait that of a 'peaceful' and 'reasonable' man. He's a simple man in other words 'dhegahiisa iyo afkiisa isma maqlaan' and that is the crucial point and crux in here.

^Alla maxaad nin wareersan oo weliba shiddaysani tahay! Waad naga baxsatay markaani laakiin haduu eebahay idmo waajibkaada ayaanu ku marinaynaa waa hadii aan sii noolaano kolley saa sheekada ku dhamani mayso oo nina caadadiisa kama taggo. 'Dab munaafaq shiddase muumin baa ku gubta' horrey loo yiri. Waatii uu Ismaciilna lahaa: 'Nin da'yari dambaab iyo ha galo, diradirayntaase Diintii Rasuulkiyo haddaad, daacadda ujeeddid Oo aadan dariiqada ka bixin, duudkii Nabi Aadan Oo madaxu deebtaa ku yahay, waa digniin dhab ahe Sidee baad dawaar ugu rogtaa, dunida geestaada? Adaa Di*r iyo Daar*ood dhex dhigay, dab iyo baaruude Dacar gelisey reerihii ahaa, ul iyo diirkeede Mugga haatan dirir uumiyuhu, waa is dilayaaye.' Ina dubbana: "Deyn qaadka gabay waa xun yahay, dira-diraaluhuye Duq gaboobay waxa u roon afkii, inu da*boolaaye Marse haduu duleeddada ka ciyo, waa darxumo weyne Damenaanse Caliyaw rag waa, laga dambeeyaaye Darbo waxaad Islaan kula jirtoo, dab isu dhiibtaaba Dux ka guro dib uun baad u dhiman, duuga weligaay"

The talent and enteries that have entered the contest are staggering and unbelieveable. Only what people are capable of when they are called upon its totally unbelievable. This is a great call.

Listen to Mudane Maxamed Faarax Ciise Gaashaan who is the Junior Minister for good governance and part of the committee set up to choose the state symbols of the State of Puntland. Maxamed Faarax Ciise 'Gaashaan' speaking about the contest and what has so far been achieved So far they have had lots of flags entered into the competition some personally handed in whilst others send via email and to a lesser degree coat of arms and national anthems but by the 17th I am sure that adequate symbols to represent the State will be chosen and that by then the competition will have produced the best of what it has to offer.
