It's time we demand for a clear explanation as to why the so called national leaders are silent of the secessionists's naked aggression and aggrandizement at the expense of the people of Khatumo. http://wardheernews.com/Articles_12/Feb/Fatah/22_Response_TFG_PMs_Letter_to_the_Somali_Diaspora.html

Their so-called leader was bragging a few months ago about ethnically cleansing Aidid's clan from a Mogadishu district in the 90s. How can you take people like that seriously? They are stuck in the stone ages Elders are the main reason why we have peace in the northern regions. Prof. Said Samatar of Rutgers University covered in one of his academic views papers on the failures of the Elders in South- Central Somalia in the peace-making social realm. It has to do with the colonial administrations of Italy, which had left no meaningful role for the elders in the political process and deprived them of their prestigious place in society. I agree their grievances should be addressed. They do not seek to grab office or financial incentives but want to be part of the policy-making and decision process that impact them and their regions.

Indeed Abti but some are against this project. They don't see the long-term benefits. Waxaa kaliya oo u muuqata ninka mashruuca hogaaminayo laftiisa. Waa waxa na habsaamiyey. Very sad!

Maakhir diaspora of Kuwait are mostly behind this project.

Samafal, Boosaaso waxey kamid tahey degaanada reer Maakhir hadaad dhulka iyo dadka dega kala taqaan. Tan labaad, su'aasha ah maxaad u dhisi weydeen Badhan iyo Dhahar, waxaan leeyahey labdaba hor'umar weyn baa ka muuqda. (Aqri Badhan report @ Wiki) dadkeedaana u horseeday ee maahan mid ka yimid meel kale. Dhibaatada ugu weyn ee gobolka Sanaag waa kaabayaasha dhaqaale sida laamiyada, dekedaha iyo airportyada in kastoo dekedo yar oo wax lagala soo dego jiraan. Iyo productive land oo aanan heysan system wanaagsan. Lama dhiso karo kaabayaasha dhaqaale hadii laba maamul ku hardamayaan degaanka iyagoo strategy qaas ah isticmaalaya taasoo ah Qayaano, hanjabaad, dagaal, been abuurid, isku dirid beelaha wada dhashey iyo waxyaalo kale. Tusaale waxaa u ah mashruucii dekeda laasqoray. Lacag ay dowlada federaalka ugu deeqday mashruucaasi waxaa si toos ah u lunsadey madaxweynahii hore ee PL. Marka xalku waxay ila muuqataa in wax laysu ogolaado oo aanan reer reerkale degaankiisa sheegan.

Taleexi, That's why I am delighted by the declaration of Khatumo and its accomplishments thus far. Rome wasn't built on one day so we have to be patient. Abwaan made a good point. Waa run waxaan uga mid noqoney maamulada waqooyiga dagaalada ka jira Koonfur iyo Xamar iyo dowlad la'aanta ka jirtey. Hada maadaama dowlad federaal oo aduunku aqoonsan yahey aadna loo taageeriyo, waa in aan xor unoqonaa ismaamul hoosaad aka bottom-up/vertical approach to nation-building.

Abwaan hadalkiisa waa run and I agree. Hadaanan loo dhameyn in reer walba deegaankiisa maamulo dee nabad warkeeda daa. Dhibaatada ka jirta PL iyo SL waxa weeye reer baa waxwalba isku fuuqsadey kadibna ogoleyn in cid kale xor u noqoto degaankeeda iyo aayahooda weliba been laga faafinayo iyo isku *** dhexdooda ah. Ama aan wada cabno caanaha Maandeeq taasoo ah hor'umarinta kaabaha dhaqaale ee deegaan walba iyo maamul hoosaad loo wada dhan yahey.

Wow. Thanks Dr. Osman for sharing these wonderful pics.

I remember when Fb wasn't that popular and only university students with school e-mail coud sign up. I was at the time student. The reputation that FB had built on that brilliant business model was the main reason its popularity rose to the sky.

We get beautiful women!

Hadaanan gabar la asturin, she would definitely flaunt her sexual expression in public to probably compensate for her ego. Others succumb to the media and peer pressure. But strong family background plays a major influence on our girls' public expression. In reality, Somali culture is a moderate culture unlike the strict traditional ones of the Middle Eastern countries whereby honor-killing is the norm if a girl deviates from prescribed set of ancient practices. Somali women are generally treated equal to men.

Well said Aaliyah. I can't say it better than you put it.

^In the past, tiny Djibouti and Omar Ghele had taken sides on Somalia's internal affairs. That's how Puntlanders are suspicious of this entity.

Nothing! I like their political activism.

Somali should be the lingua franca of Africa. I propose that for consideration to the Evaluation Committee. Look at the Somali-speaking map including Ethiopia & Kenya.
