this is some funny shit! Khilaaf soo kala dhex galay C/laahi Yuusuf iyo Cadde Muuse Xirsi Boqor Garoowe Warar laga helayo ilo u dhow dhow Madaxtooyada Gen. Cadde ee magaalada Garoowe ayaa sheegaya in khilaaf soo kala dhex galay Madaxweynaha Federaalka Soomaaliya C/laahi Yuusuf Axmed iyo Madaxweynaha Puntland Cadde Muuse Xirsi Boqor. khilaafkan ayaa waxaa uu ku saleysan yahay kadib markii uu C/laahi Yuusuf ka codsaday Cadde Muuse in uu soo diro 300 oo Kun oo Doolaroo qayb ka ah mashruuca lagu dhisayo garoonka diyaaradaha ee magaalada Boosaaso, taasoo la xaqiijinayo in uu Cadde Muuse ku gacan sayray. C/laahi Yuusuf ayaa lagu soow waramayaa in uu arrintaas si weyn uga xumaaday, xiligaan oo ay jiraan dhibaatooyin ka haysta dhinaca Golaha Baarlamaanka Federaalka Soomaaliya oo magaalada Muqdisho u sii qulqulaya. Dhanka kale Madaxeyne Cadde Muuse ayaa loola carary maanta isbitaal ku yaalo wadanka isku taga Imaardka Carbata kadib markii uu ku soo booday xanuun deg deg ah W/Q Garaad Salaad Xersi Dayniile , Muqdisho http://www.dayniile.com/Abrir/18Abril7.htm

nebi maxamed once said= "a man who plants one tree, will get ten times the ajar in the afterlife. a man who cuts one tree will be cut ten times the ajar in the afterlife." 8000 trees is a lot, it will change boosaasos image 360 degrees. they gonna plant 40 palm trees in and around the airport too. but thousands of acacia senegal/nilotica trees are being harvested in bari, sanaag and nugaal rural areas for the reer miyi to counterattack deforrestation. a qurac grows into maturity when its like 10 years old. so thats good news. theres another side of the coin. the ports of muqdisho to kismaayo still see convoys of trucks with dhuxuls every day. the strip between kismaayo and xamar that used to be so lush is almost a freaking sahara. and truckloads of wood come from the already desert areas of galguduud and hiiraan. look at the contrast= BOOSAASO KISMAAYO

conoco is the american company with the most rights on oil exploitation in somalia. they got rights on bari, nugaal, mudug, galguduud and berbera district. they still have a close relationship with cusmaan caato and c/yussef. hell, the airport of garoowe is called conoco airport. conoco prolly felt it was best to stay in touch with these guys till a gov comes. conoco aint the only foreign (american) company that still keeps one leg in somalia. dole company of the bananas still do business with militia gangs in shabeelaha hoose and back in the day with general morgan when he ruled over kismaayo throughout the nineties.

these screwups failed in their jobs. they are responsible for the ugly incident that happened in gaalkacyo. where the war between two subclans that live in baraxley, south gaalkacyo escalated to the centre of the city wich is under PL authority. not only these guys but also gaagaab should be kicked out for finding the balls to say that: " gaalkacyo waa nabad!". gaalkacyo is the dump of puntland, it scores low in every department compared to other PL cities. governor of mudug=warsame yare cant guarantee security but prohibits ppl to take matters in their own hands. mayor of gaalkacyo=jaamac yabaq thinks he can turn gaalkacyo into paris. the only thing he does is complain that all the taxes go to garoowe n boasting about how he cleaned the cit from plastic bags. dont get me wrong, i didnt forget about reer baraxley. they are the evildoers in this case. even the freaking president and prime minister came to mediate and cadde muuse has sent peace delegations and financed the peace talks between these folks. they are number 1 responsible for the ugly incident that happened in gaalkacyo. dont let this peaceful part of gaalkacyo become a mini-muqdisho. Galkacyo waa Baylah e, ha is Casilaan Madaxdeeda, Maamulkeeda & Taliska Ciidamadeedu - Tuesday, April 12, 2005 at 14:33 Galkacyo - Waxaa maanta barqadii ay ku salaleen dadka deggan magaalada Galkacyo habaas uffo cirka isku shareertay, diryaan ka dhashay tacshiirad ay isku baacsanayeen kooxo dablay ah oo hubaysan mid ka mid suuqyada magaalada oo keenay dhiig ku qubta bartamaha magaalada, taas oo aan u kala aaba yeelin carruur iyo cirroole, iyo sawaxanka rasaas aanay u fadhiyin dadka ku nool Galkacyo. Dagaalka ayaa ahaa mid beeleed oo ay isaga hor yimaadeen laba beelood oo ka tirsan beesha ********* ee bilihii la soo dhaafay dagaalo ku dhexmareen deegaano ka tirsan gobollada Mudug iyo Galguduud. Waxaa halkaas ku naf waayey, inkasta oo aan weli la xaqiijin, dhawr iyo toban qof, halka soddomeeyo kale dhaawacyo soo gaareen oo ay ku jireen dhallaan yar yar iyo dumar aan waxba galabsan. Waxaa khasaare lixaad lihi soo gaaray hantida maguurtada ah oo isugu dhafan mid guud iyo mid gaar ah. Waxaa isna halkaas ku naf waayey mid ka mid ah booliska saldhiga dhexe ee magaalada, halka saddex kalena ay dhaawacyo soo gaareen. Booliska ayaa gurmad ahaan ku tegay halka dagaalku ka dhacay si ay u kala dhexgalaan dablayda, ayna u qaboojiyaan dagaalka, nasiib darose la kulmay dablay aan aqoonba waxa dawrka boolisku yahay. Waxaa iyana xusid mudan in badi dadka dhibaatooyinku ay soo gaareen maanta ay ahaayeen dad rayad ah oo aan haba yaraatee wax lug ah ku lahayn dagaalka. Taasi ma tahay wax loo dul qaadan karo? Galkacyo oo ah magaalo ganacsi oo lagu qiyaaso in ay ku nool yihiin in ka badan laba-boqol iyo konton kun (250, 000) oo qof, ahna kaabe isku xira ganacsiga isaga goosha gobollada Somaliya ayaa ah magaalo ay ku nool yihiin dadyow fara badan oo ka kala yimid dhammaan gobollada Somaliya. Sidoo kale Galkacyo waxaa lagu tiriyaa mid ka mid magaalooyinka Puntland ee xaga nidaamka iyo maamulka aadka u liita marka la barbardhigo Garowe iyo Bosaaso, taasina ay keento in aalaaba ay ka dhacaan dhacdooyin khalkhal gelin kara aminga sida dhul laysku qabsado, iyo hubka fudud sida bistooladaha oo magaalada lala dhexmaro. Iyada oo dadka ku nool Galkacyo ay taas ka dharagsan yihiin ayaa waxaa amakaag iyo anfariir ku noqotay sida ay dhacdadii maanta u iftiimisay karti darada, farsamo xumida iyo awood darida maamulka gobolka iyo madaxda degmada. Marka masiibo dhacdo waxaa lama huraan ah in madaxda Ummaddu ay qaabilaan bulshada, la hadlaan dadka, ugana xog waramaan khasaaraha dhacay inta uu le'eg yahay, isla markaana rajo gelin iyo dhiirigelin la wadaaga bulshada rayadka ah.

Falka maanta ka dhacay Galkacyo waxaa uu ka turjumaysaa sida ay magaaladu uga aradan tahay maamul iyo madax dhan kasta ah. Waxaa mudan in la is weydiiyo: Sidee ku dhacday in dharaar cad weerar hubaysan loogu soo qaado goobaha ganacsiga ee magaalada?

Somalis in Jigjiga Experience Massive Looting by a Government Military Raid WardheerNews, April 14, 2005 ( WDN) - Forces of the Federal government of Ethiopia have undertaken massive looting in Jijgjiga in the wee hours of Sunday morning. This latest government act is testament to the absence of basic human rights in this region. According to reports from Jigjiga, approximately 14 stores have been looted and the total loss is estimated to be over one million Eth. Bir. The people of the Somali Regional State (Somali Galbeed) is one of the most oppressed peoples that humanity has ever seen, and share a lot with the Kurds in the Middle East, the Palestinians in the Arab world and the Afars in the Horn of Africa. An Arab sociologist once wrote that the most oppressed groups in the human race are the Jews in Yemen (who lived like rats) and the Moslems, including Somalis under Ethiopian rule (who live with no human right.) Ethiopia colonized the Somalis in Ethiopia in the later parts of the 19 th Century and since then has maintained an open policy of wanton feudal looting of local resources. Emperor Menelik II brought the Somalis violently into his feudal fold in the later parts of the 19 th Century. With his mercenary Yemeni forces, headed by Al Sayid Abdala Daha, Menelik II and his cousin and ruler of Harar, Ras Mekonin, father of Haile Sellasie I, captured Jigjiga in the early parts of 1890s. The colonizing army of Menelik II was charged to loot livestock as part of raising their own local funds for their soldiers' sustenance since the feudal court could not sustain such an expedition. Hence Ethiopian soldiers' loot of Somalis started in the 1890s. When in 1962, Girma Neway, who was a graduate of Colombia University and a relative of the late emperor Haile Sellasie I, was assigned to assume the mayoral post in Jigjiga, he then officially commented on Ethiopia's official looting campaigns in Jigjiga. Within weeks of his assignment to Jigjiga, Girma Neway was presented with official papers to authorize a raid on the City's bustling shops. His first question then was: Are not the owners of the shops to be looted Ethiopians? The answer given to him surprisingly was that these people are “Somalis and smugglers.†A left-leaning intellectual, Girma Neway was radicalized by this experience and was killed later on while he was escaping to Somalia after a coup that he has organized, along with his late brother, Mengistu Neway, had failed. Mr. Neway did not like the way Haile Sellasie's imperial court treated the Somalis and drafted the now-famous Jigjiga policy papers . In his papers, he proposed that the imperial government stop looting the Somalis and instead craft a mechanism to help the government return all looted properties to their lawful owners, either by taxing the looted properties or by returning them through some kind of amnesty. By talking to elders of the city, Girma Neway found out that Somalis, when given a chance, will always welcome the opportunity to reclaim their looted properties if they are adequately taxed. The 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were years of perpetual looting and raids in several Somali cities including Jigjiga, Harta Sheikh, Dhagaxbuur, Wardheer, Awaare, Qabridahar and many other commercial towns. The Derg regime put to a temporary halt to this policy mainly because of the security conditions in the region at the time. This practice of illegal raids and looting of private properties have been given a new life under the Tigrean-dominated government of Meles Zenawi. Two years in to its rule, Jigjiga cattle traders lost about five hundred cattle to Tigrean soldiers. Somali quarters in *** Dhabe were massively looted last year. And now, in the early dawn hours of April 10, 2005, a well-orchestrated EPRDF army systemically raided Babile Dhagaxle and Jigjiga. Under EPRDF, the geography covered by the loot is expanding. This is a primitive public policy. And, as the case has always been, Ethiopia's primitive policies towards the Somalis seem to be resilient to change. Even at a time when the Soviet empire perished, or when Iraq chose a Kurdish president, Ethiopian feudal policies in the Somali region designed to break down the Somalis continue. Or worse, when Israel, with all its might, is on the verge of bowing down to the stone-throwing, iron-willed Intifada teenagers of Palestine, Ethiopia's primitive rule, bereft of human rights accorded to what Ethiopian authorities call “aramanaw ya qola Agar Somale,†meaning pagan low-lander Somalis, proves to be tenaciously resilient to change. Nearly Fourty (40) years after Girma Neway scolded the reactionary policies of his Ethiopia government visa vi its Somali subject, Meles Zenawi's autocratic government gets a green light from its puppet regime in Jigjiga to loot the city. As a result, helpless Somalis wake up to a raid on March 10, 2005 that started around 4:00 AM and continued to the morning hours of the next day. About 14 major stores of the city (selling electronic, rugs, food whole sellers, clothes and farm equipments) were looted by heavily armed troops that descended on this helpless, naked and often rapped, city from *** Dhabe. In the summer of 2003, the US Ambassador in Ethiopia, her Excellency Mrs. Brasilia visited Jigjiga and toured the main streets where these stores are located. The Ambassador, aware of the lack of any capital investment by the federal government, was overwhelmed by the strength and the go-get and stick-to-it nature of the Somali entrepreneurship that is, as she said at an official dinner, unmatched by any other state in Ethiopia. When she conversed with some women who were running some of the business looted by the Ethiopian authority, she learned that most of the local businesses are directly linked to Somalia's coastal towns of Berbera and Bossaso. It is reported that the Ambassador promised investment in this sector to the tune of US $15 million. What Ethiopian government did on this fateful day of April 10, 2005 to the Somalis in the Somali State of Ethiopia must shock the Ambassador and her top officer at the US AID in Addis Ababa who accompanied her in this trip. This latest raid has totally undermined the kind and feminine hand and blessed touch that her excellency lent to the hard-working Somalis in this region where Ethiopia has always carried extra-territorial policies. The hard earned pennies of Somalis always get easily transferred to the pockets of Ethiopian soldiers and their families one way or another. It is a primitive lopsided re-distribution system that favors Ethiopian looting against hard-working Somalis Looting the properties of law-abiding citizens is illegal and an outright violation of rules that govern both human and property rights. It also throws a chilling blanket on one of the few thriving economies in this empire that is still haunted by the limitations of feudalism and its attendant and penchant oppressive rules against Somalis. WardheerNews is startled at the level of anger detected among the Diaspora community. Some of the questions that are boggling in the minds of the community include: who authorized this hideous act, which Girma Neway resisted to authorize half a century ago? What is the role of the Mayor of Jigjiga in this matter? How could the president of the region authorize this illegal act, especially in light of the fact that he illegally authorized the transfer of almost one third of the original Somali land to the Oromo/EPRDF coalition? Are we good enough to be Ethiopians? What option to looting is the government of Meles Zenawi giving to the lawful residents to reclaim their properties? Is armed struggle to protect your family, your land and your property rights the last option facing Somalis? The Somali Regional State and its meek (fadhiid) government must feel the waves of the city's anger sooner than later. What is bothersome about the looting of Jigjiga is that this is a policy that is more than one hundred years old, and is only implemented against the Somalis. This new looting is an indication that Ethiopia is resilient to democratic changes and it is more comfortable with its feudal past. News analysis by WardheerNews Staff WardheerNews

Canada: Cabbie lived 'national embarrassment' of many immigrants - Friday, April 15, 2005 at 14:11 Underemployment: Slain former Ottawa man was educated, energetic Meagan Fitzpatrick and Juliet O'Neill, with files from Mike Haymes The Ottawa Citizen; with files The Edmonton Journal April 15, 2005 There's the dreadful thought that the cash stolen by those who killed Hassan Yusuf was part of the money he'd saved to fly his now devastated wife Farhia and seven children from Ottawa to Edmonton where they were supposed to start a new life with a better income. Or it might have been money he had planned to send, as he reliably and regularly did, back to extended family in Somalia, where the economy has long been shattered by war and people depend on help from expatriate relatives for the basic stuff of life. Either way, these are among the quintessential elements of the immigrant life Mr. Yusuf, 41, is said to have experienced in Canada -- that of a man who is well educated, energetic and determined to prosper for a large family, but who could not find work for which he was qualified. His family lived against a backdrop of what Nancy Worsfold, one of Ottawa's prominent community immigrant services leaders, calls "the national embarrassment" of so many immigrants, including those who do have Canadian academic credentials or training, winding up in survival jobs. It's a backdrop, she says, of massive underemployment. "It's tragic that anyone be murdered when working as a taxi driver, but it seems so sad that this guy had to be driving a taxi when he had so much more to offer because of his education and because of his language skills," she said yesterday. "It's almost like a double tragedy." Mr. Yusuf was described by family, friends and acquaintances as a quiet, intelligent, good-natured man who came to Canada from Somalia a dozen years ago planning to earn a good life in a peaceful country. He was born in the northeastern state of Puntland but grew up in the capital, Mogadishu. They say he had academic credentials from Somalia and Russia in agricultural sciences and spoke several languages. "He was a quiet person, family oriented, trying to survive and be a good citizen of this country," said Farah Aw-Osman, a friend who is a youth counsellor at Somali Centre for Family Services in Ottawa. "Even though he was well educated, he couldn't find a job in Ottawa in his profession, like many other immigrants. A lot of immigrants are working in cleaning and taxi driving and that stuff, even though they have high degrees from Europe or other parts of the world. But that's the system." On top of credentials problems, says Ms. Worsfold, there is also "plain old racism in the labour market." That is apparent by the numbers of people she meets who get Canadian credentials, but still can't land a job for which they are qualified. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, says Abdirizak Karod, Mr. Yusuf spoke to him by phone about getting his qualifications from Somalia certified in Canada. "He was a great human being; he helped a lot of people here and in Somalia," said Mr. Karod, executive director of the Somali Centre for Family Services. "He was educated. You could sense it in the way he spoke, the way he argued. He was the one always willing to help." Mohamoud Hagi-Aden, another Somalian community leader, said Mr. Yusuf's death was shocking to everyone. Mr. Hagi-Aden did not know Mr. Yusuf, but said his underemployment "is something the Somalian community shares with so many immigrant communities. The difficulty is foreign credentials are not recognized. We would like to see some mechanisms so at least there is a support network and education and skills can be upgraded." The best job Mr. Yusuf apparently found in Ottawa was a far cry from agricultural sciences. He worked on the assembly line at JDS during the high-tech boom years. At the peak, the company employed 12,000 workers; now it's down to 500 local employees. Reports that Mr. Yusuf drove a taxi in Ottawa were incorrect. His cousin drives a taxi here, which may have caused confusion in initial reports. Mr. Yusuf did embark on retraining. He started working toward a diploma in electrical engineering at Algonquin College. But he was not finished when he decided to move to Edmonton. Fellow Somalis who had moved to Edmonton from Ottawa told him the economy was much better in Alberta and he should give it a go. He landed a job with Yellow Cab and got settled enough to return to Ottawa a month ago to arrange his family's move. "He moved to Edmonton to get a better job, to get a better life," said Abdirahman Farah, best friend of Mr. Yusuf's cousin, Osman Warsame. "He was trying very hard. He was a simple guy. ... He was always smiling." "He was looking for a better life, to start a new life," said Mr. Warsame. "He was always looking for a better job." Mr. Warsame said he Mr. Yusuf had a thirst for, and enjoyment of, knowledge and was always reading scientific books. He was also such a soccer fan that he would get up in the middle of the night to watch European matches on TV, especially his favourite team, Milano. One friend said he often read books at Chapters. The Yusuf family lives in a modest five-bedroom house in Britannia Woods. Mrs. Yusuf brought four of her children to Edmonton Wednesday and three others stayed behind in care of relatives. Three of the children -- 10-year-old Ebyan, nine-year-old Sahid and seven-year-old Ilwad, attend Severn Avenue Public School. The principal there sent a newsletter home with students yesterday, offering counselling from psychologists or social workers for any child who is upset by their friends' loss. "We're going to play it by ear to see what response is necessary," said principal Ron Lynch. "So far, the reaction has been fairly mild, but we're keeping an eye on a couple of kids. Some kids don't have much experience with death." Mr. Yusuf's daughter, Ifra, held back tears when she spoke to the Canadian Press in Edmonton. "Devastated is not the word," she said. "He was a loving man. ... He was a very kind man, everyone loved him. Everyone in Ottawa, everyone here. He was a very honest man.' Mr. Aw-Osman said he was well- loved and respected in Ottawa. He rarely missed a community social function. "He comes from a very large family and he was helping them. Every Somali who comes to this country, that's what they do," Mr. Aw-Osman said. "They do not forget the people they left behind. There's no government, there's no work there, no private institutions to work for. A lot of people are stuck because of the civil war for the past 15 years, and they depend on what's coming from relatives in North America and European countries." Mr. Warsame said that while grieving Mr. Yusuf, many will also smile at the fun they had with him. "He was a laugh," Mr. Warsame added. "When you were sitting with Hassan, you didn't need anything else, because he was making you laugh. He had a good sense of humour -- that's one thing we cannot forget."

theorist, good news thnx. the abuse of women should be stopped. its crippling our nation, by the fgm. as somalis we need to save those future women that will go through this barbaric n pagan practise. tru the famous song begins with: "its a mans world!" but it ends with: "it aint nothing without a woman or a girl!". somalis still think uncircumcised women need to use matrasses against the monthly fluids. congratulations to xaawo aadan maxamed. to the ladies of sol, com'on make your voices heard! maxaad isu qarineysiin?

when u think that windtalker n qudhac already lowered the quality of conversations in somaliaonline, another tragic character just like it crawls out of the dumpster. MsWord= Consequently, you're making an accusation that never took place. consequently, i need to go to the toilet. lool just love the style of this missy.

caamirow, its not the gov thats forcing ppl to relinquish their property. the gov only evicts ppl out of their property, when those properties are build si sharci daro ah. cities need space and shouldnt be packed with buildings, thats why a lot of properties that are build on land they were not supposed to build are being knocked down. in boosaaso and garoowe where they have been doing that for years, youll see that those cities have more space while gaalkacyo just doesnt make any sense as a city. damn town doesnt even have one spot thats empty for the sake of it. its the developers/real estate businessmen that force these ppl to move by offering a deal they cant refuse. land is valuable within the city limits. so this is no surprise. it happens everywhere in the world.

the SNF warriors are coming. We aren't traitors like our fellow kinsmen from Galkacyo and above, who are willing to sell the Somali land and enslave the Somali citizens for a petty and meaningless doller. :confused: :confused: :confused:

wow some pics that make any somali patriot proud to the teeth. thnx!

are u tryna tell me you actually admire or respect this daanyeer with the bumper forehead? bisinka iyo yaasiinka iyo aayadaha qur'aanka!

who thell are all these unknown guys with militias, damn now i understand why ppl even want ethiopians to get rid of these cockroaches. this shit aint funny anymore, every fool has his own private army down there for goodness sake. looool since when is meles zenawi a soomaali? qoorsheel, bro that was some funny shit man. and caato is always seen as the mayor of baraxley in gaalkacyo, but i dont think he has got 2 cents to say in there. better yet, i think they would afduub his azz if he would stop by for a visit. man wouldnt that be funny.

this guy should be our future president. best wishes to cabdiraxmaan suudi.

lazygirl= I feel that the only reason why this individual brought the subject up is because he is envious of her success. loool is this naag, wax waalan or what??? ayaan the daanyeer with the bumper forehead is not worth my breath and spit.

till 2005, the somaliland gov has MISUSED the donor money meant for sool, sanaag and southeast togdheer. of the money, a fraction landed in the pockets of corrupt somaliland officials from these provinces and the rest for development projects in hargeysa. i though they were tryna win the hearts n minds of "east somaliland"? maxwell gaylord, the un chief for somalia has seen this injustice and has also seen that puntland is the DE FACTO maamul in those provinces. marka he did what had to be done long time ago and tranferred all un, sacb etcetera donor channels to these provinces through garoowe instead of hargeysa. this will be another blow of a long series of blows to the somaliland case. this in the shrewd world of politics means that the un and sacb recognise somaliland as a tribal bantustan. wich it is. but the best thing is that justice has finally been SERVED for the people of these provinces. but case in point! is maamulka hargeysa allowed to get away with it that easily. i think the future donor money for hargeysa should be stopped and directed to these provinces till they pay back their debts. and this INCIDENT should be taken into account in the future, that somaliland is not an honest partner to deal with with this kinda business.

aight duke n libaax, here it goes= jubba street, boosaaso dalsan bank headquarters guri soomaali built in 20s its a shame this house and the rest of the xaafad will be knocked down. the xaafad is close to the city centre and its already a matter of time when all these houses will get knocked down, new houses will be built and the poor local population uprooted to the outskirts of the city. the family that lives here now are going to move to gaalkacyo, so theres already a signal that this piece of history will be history. can u believe these lil dudes are my uncles

LIBAASANKATAABTE= ninyahow youre still living in the past my man. boosaaso has changed the economic landscape of puntland like 360degrees. like eyl, buurtinle is past glory. charcoal businesska lacagta badneeyd waa uu dhamaatay, now that faaduma jibriil (the environmentalist of hornrelief) secured a total ban on charcoal trade in puntland. the town is famous for its kaneeco population and the whole town is build on a hill, the centre is on the top of the hill. wich is uncommon, somalis always settle in valleys. buurtinle is a peaceful place tho, ak47s there are dusting in a corner and when theyre used, theyre used to fight invading hyenas, jackals and wild dogs. you should see this place after the gu' rains, tru paradise man.

you took the words right outta my mouth suldaanka. tho its mostly the jews like friedman that feel compelled to attack the muslim/arab world. i really dont like this guy, but his main points about certain topics of globalisation does make sense.
