* Our fish is the dorado and thirty thousand kinds more, * And among them the tunny, with its tasty fillets, is topmost; * The prophet himself, on whom be peace, slit its throat with sword. * Fish will not die in a Mars-linked disaster* or in drought, nor in the weather of the kaliil season; * Bandit warriors, as they bivouac in the clearing, outside your homestead, will not divide it by lots as their spoils; * The blight of a disease will never bring upon it the hardships of this world. * For the man who has the skill to catch it, and who knows the ways of the sea, * Who gets up the early morning and swiftly plies his oar, within an hour there is a supply of food spread in the open space. * There is wealth there, equally for the rich and the poor; * To both of the them is fish apportioned evenly - only a child is ignorant of this- * And to emaciated and withered flesh it gives nourishment. * In the sea seylac, along the nothern shore and off Berbera, between here and Seyhaab, * Up and down is spread prosperity and plenty; * But Somalis knew nothing of it, as they lived tormented by want. By Cali Maax. Translated by Dr. B.W. Andrzejewski

Puntland: Col. Dahir Waberi briefs on progress towards the policing of deforestation and degradation in Haylaan region. Haylaan is one of the endengered areas of Puntland, a region in which the destruction of its natural habitat by a band of charcoal profiteers had a huge impact on the livelihood of its inhabitants. The colonel participated the formation of a special forces unit for this purpose and now with the help of Puntland's Interior Ministry, he has braught this activity to a complete halt. He also somehow managed to clear temporary settlements built solely for the continuation of this activity. Not only will this local initiatives help stop the chopping down of trees, it will also contribute to the reduction of global green house emissions, a major factor of the failire of rains and the drought cycle that afflict our pastoralist society. Haylaan is made up of the Districts of Dhahar (the capital), Buraan, Hingalool, and Baraaqaha Qol and numerous villages that directly come under the administration of these District Councils. Well job done for the Colonel. Amaanka Gobolka Hayland ee Degaanka iyo Xuduudaha kale ee Gobolada Waqooyi oo la adkeeyey sidaas waxaa Yiri Taliyaha G/Kaasi Col. Daahir Waaberi ciise Dhahar:-Waxaa si wayn ay ciidamada Amaanka e Gobolka Hayland ugu howlanyihiin howlaha wax ka qabashada harumarka degaanka iyo dib u soo celinta hanaanka bilicda dhirtii dhaadherayd ee sida howdka ugu teednayd qaybo ka mida Gobolka Hayland. Waxaan jira dareen guud oo lugu macneeyey talaabo ka soo rayn ah oo laga dareemayo degaanada Hayland oo aan sidii hore ahayn isla markaasina ay muuqanayso bilic iyo dhirta nuurkedii cagaadhnaa oo dib u soo noqday ka dib markii ay halgan wadaniyeed u galeen ciidamo u qalab qaatay sidii ay dalkooda wax uga qaban lahayeen. Taliyaha Ciidanka Darwiishta Gobolka Hayland ee Maamulka dowlada Puntland Col. Daahir Waaberi Ciise ayaa gashaanka u daruuray inay ciidamada dowlada PL ee Gobolkaasi Hayland ay si wayn ula dagaalamayaan sidii loo difaaci lahaa Awooda iyo Muquuninta xasiloonida deganaanshaha Degaanada Hayland ka dib Markii ay soo bexeen warar hoose oo shegaya inay jiraan malayshiyaad taabacsan Ciidanka daahir Rayaale ee Waqooyi galbeed.

It's a region whose forums every Somali is entitled to have a say, not only tolka.

Hence, it's best to have no illusion about other country's political agenda; and you should always proceed to settle your own problem as best you can without the need of others, whilst, at the same time, baring in mind, that no nation on this earth, is ever likely to do you a favour that is outside of it's self-interests in turn. Oodweyne thanks for the long reply. I really concur with your deep reflections. The onerous task of bringing together a divided Society is upon us and when that happens (even if it coincides with a major shift of power from the west to the east) Somalia shall outlast its enemies and prosper.

Richard Barrett, a former British intelligence officer now monitoring Al Qaeda and the Taliban for the United Nations, argues that Mullah Omar has learned the lesson of 2001. If the Taliban regain power, he said, “they don’t want Al Qaeda hanging around.”He added, “They want to be able to say, ‘We are a responsible government.’ ” Divide and rule tactics and the make-up of Sheikh Shariif in Afghanistan. It's likely America is poised to recognize Taliban and discard Karzai into the trash bin. They are working on it. I just read an article published today at the NY Times about Obama taking a firm position against Biden's recommended approach. The Obama adminstration now wants to recognize and work with Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, but would this would be policy backfire and lead to an irreversible split within Taliban's leadership. Time will tell.

Amazing development. Thanks Xudeedi. God bless Punland, Somalia.

Mr. Somalia thanks for the long article. I think Somalia is still facing the containment policy, that is to "pursue a much narrower and targeted counter-terrorism approach.. It's a choice now promoted by the Vice President and many senate and House members to be applied in Afghanistan as opposed to stabilizing it and pursuing a nation-building approach. But the question that bothers me always is that if the said powers to be have no interest in committing enough resources to the stabilization and nation building of Somalia, why can't they leave us in peace? Why use different proxies and impose weak governments from the top? This choice of skepticism in the power of Somalis to deal with their own problems while at the same time creating more instablity through the use of proxies and the narrower counter-terrorism approach is hard to believe.

I don't get why that barbaric incident at El Bardale has yet to receive justice. Djib-somali, while it's no wise to take justice into your own hands, it's better reer Borame apply the xeer (customary) mechanism to resolve this case and bring the savage murderers who hacked the victims to pieces to justice. Very Harrowing Incident.

Lol jamaal.aniga xataa beri samaadkii waxaa u maleyn jirey in qoraxda gees ka soo baxdo, na dul marto kadibna godkeeda u hoyato oo aay seexato. There's a lot of mystery in the field of astronomy, interesting nevertheless. Nuune, a friend of mine is in that field: Aerospace Engineering . Very good and challenging career path. I like the Aeronautical Engineering (design and make of aircrafts). Good luck.

Naagtan waa naag aan Somali u ekeen. She looks more like African American.

Jamaal, Give us a summary of the video.

A British officer/spy in Harar during Somalia's colinialization: ''Ethiopians fear Somalis so much that they would give their guns to the children to show the West that they had troops there. ("The history of the Mad Mullah." Jstor)

Originally posted by Mr. Somalia: [QB quote: Originally posted by NASSIR: quote:Originally posted by Che -Guevara: Cowke You are next! You have get to give to the Tigray boys. They have managed to erect walls in the shape of these pseudo administrations and Somalis played to their hands. We are talking about Puntland's territorial integrity (as if Puntland is country independent of Somalia) and not bothered by their constant incursions into Hiiraan. I was actually surprised that Cawke would employ "territorial integrity" of Puntland. Lol. What we are all forgetting is that PL controls only half of the city, the other half being under the seperate admin of Galmudug. All in all, the Ethiopian secret service carry out their operations in Hargeisa and ocassionally in Nairobi. It has to do with the savage policies of this Christian Ethiopia, which is indeed creating a widespread atrocities in the whole of HOA region, including Eritrea. There's no way in hell a minority Christian regime would be able to divide, manipulate and outmaneouver the people it oppresses in its interior and the countries it greatly fears on its border, if it weren't the West's support and direct meddling. . Time to open our eyes that our survival and the many dimensions of human progress in our land hinges on our unity and solidarity. ^^^ True say. As long as Somalis keep pointing fingers at one another-- our arch nemesis, will take advantage of the chaotic situation in our country. This will be a prime test for the regional president of Puntland. Faroole must condemn these terrorist activities in Galkacyo and work hard to strengthen the state's security apparatus to prevent a repeat of this Galkacyo incident. [/QB]You right. How the mention of Somali name would send shudder of fear to the Ethiopian militia prior to colonialism and how it behaves now is puzzling to say the least.

Keep the good work Xudeedi.

The Telegraph is extremely biased and irrelevant. Obama has inspired the world but it's the racist policies of the west and its creation of entrenched structural divide that is pulling his effort as president down.
