^ How so? Instead of hiring new "Governors" and "District Commisioners", what the people that live in those areas need is "teachers" and "health workers" and new schools etc etc. Goboladdi hore ayaan wax laga qaban marka gobolo cusub oo la sameeyo wax macno leh oo samaynaso ma jirto. It will bring more trouble then good. I hope this is rejected by the parliament b/c we can't afford 12 gobols with 12 governors and 100 of beaurocrats whose only job they do is stamp a paper and that is it.

^^ Who should stop them? The administration itself is part of the gang syndicate.

^^ Go figure!!! The Afgooye one is a roadblock, you should be worried as you approach it. The one in SL is a checkpoint, you only need to be worried if you are either a criminal or a rogue trader who smuggles contraband goods (such as the famous puntland fake money ) into the markets. That is the differences my friend.

^^ warka arag oo maqal, buuqana iska dhaaf awoowe As for road blocks, you need first learn the difference between check-point and a road-block. A road-block is the one that exists between Qardho and Bosaso in which a fighting took place just recently. Whereas a check-point is similar to the ones that exist in Somaliland where the only purpose is to check the validity of the vehicle's licenses, the goods its trasporting and to check if there is any "wanted" criminals hiding onboard. SL taxation offices are located at the point of collection of goods (Ports, airports) and at the point of entry (Looya Caddo, Tog Wajaale and Oog). Each vehicle is taxed only once and that is valid throughout SL. They need to present the papers on request whenever the check-point officials make an enquiry.

Mudane Abdulkarim Aw Ali Shabel and Mudane Ahmed Abdi Nur (Kijandhe) were the two Somaliland observers at the seminar. The inclusion of the Somaliland MP's as observers during the seminar is a direct result of the efforts by the All Party Somaliland Group, under the able leadership of Alun Michael, MP.

^^He was fighting from the ruthless regime's side back in the days as well.

^^ Xidigo, it is not the SNM that make you fight on the side of the ruthless regime whose days were numbered my dearest. The SNM wanted you to be on their side and together remove the dulin from our lands. But, wrongly or rightly which ever way you put, you choosed to fight from the regime's side. It is good to underscore the commendable position the clan of Zeila took when they totally rejected the Siyad Barre regime's genocidical designs and plans against the SNM clan. THis is what the great Poet had to tell them in praise of their actions: [clan of zeila name] xilkii waa guteen laysma xaasidoe Xaggay naga xigeen nacabka way ka xakameeyene Xoog iyo Adduun kalama hadhin xarakadeenniiye Xidhiidhkaa tolnimadaa lehiyo xeerka Saadadae Xigto niman lahayn cadawgu waa xubin wareemaaye Xamdu mahad [sNM clan name] dhanbay xiisa geliyeene

^^Where was Somalinimo when the clans of the north were armed by the regime in its effort to defeat those that were against its ruthlessness? Somalinimo was non-existent back then. I don't see any SOmalinimo in what is going on in the South or anywhere else. But I do see that "Somalilandimo" is working and it is "Somalilandnimo" the reason why Hargeisa,Awdal Somaliland in general is peaceful and prospering.

Originally posted by Naxar Nugaaleed: you are really funny suldaanka, rer sanaag occupied their own capital, rer borame "occupied" gabiley and and rer las anod occuppied one of their villages. This again shows the contempt some of you woqoye galbeters have for the people of SSC and awdal yet you want them to be part of sland. ruunta isu sheega people, you have been land grabing sense you were the british foot solders. You say that the SNM only attacked the people of Buhoodle and borame for few days. The others in places like Xudun and ceerigaabo must be animals then. Why is it that you slanders can make peace with these three others provences and buhoodle district in the north, install the top leader of the regime for which you is the cause of all this but not the south? Whatever fightings that took place between the clan melitias whether it was in Gabiley or Buhoodle or Sanaag. All that have been forgiven and forgotten in the many Peace Conferences in Burco, Borama and Erigavo of 1991 and 1993 respectively. But when we talk about the SNM we are talking about the SNM's war against the facist ruthless regime of Siyad Barre. We are not talking about the clan melitia from the neighboring clans that were pitted against one another by the former regime. You need to see the difference. As for Ceerigaabo and Caynabo, gladly they are under the rightful hands of its owners.

Those who throw cheap dirt against the SNM are those who had everything going for them under the Siyad Barre regime. But inasfaras, the SNM goes, its history is golden and its achievements commendable.

^^ the ruthless government pitted clans against one another. Neighboring clan melitias fought out each other and obviously uncles and cousins died from everyside. That is the clan wars that every one forgive/forget each other in the Peace conferences in Burco and Boorama in 1991 and 1993 respectively. But the SNM vs Government war is completely different. The SNM faced the Government's formidable military rooting them out of their bases in the country side until they were surrounded in the big cities. There was no SNM which targeted a particular clan or city. It happened twice only, once in Buuhoodleh in 1989 and in Borama in 1991. In both instances, the SNM leadership immidiately ordered the withdrawal of the forces from these towns. In the case of Borama, the SNM stayed less than 12 hours before it were ordered to leave. Compare that, to the Siyad Barre armed melitia from clans of Lascaanood who occupied Caynaba from 1984 till 1990. And the clan melitia from Borama which occupied Gabiley from 1988 to 1990. Or the clan melitia from Eastern Sanag which occupied Erigabo till 1991. There was obviously bad blood between the clans of Somaliland which obviously can not be denied. And that bad blood was the result of a government which encouraged non-SNM clans to take their "once in a blue moon" opportunity to gain lands under the payroll of the government. Those who took part in the looting of Hargeisa and Burco is well known as well. When that ruthless government was removed from the country, the SNM never retaliated against any particular clan. Instead, they called for peace and brotherly coexistence between neighboring clans. Land, property and farms which belonged to every clan was given back, even the minority clans like the Gabooye clan got their rightful lands and property back. The fruits of that call to peace is what we have today in Somaliland. Compare that to what happened in the South when the government left the scene and you will understand what the commendable job the SNM undertook.

ILaahay naxariistii jano ha ka waraabiyo mujaahidka weyn ee Jaamac Cali. He will be remembered for his great service to the country like many of the SNM leaders. As for those who are throwing dirt at the SNM. I would just like to remind them to look inwards and think a little bit. The SNM was never fighting a particular clan. The SNM was fighting a ruthless regime who never made it a secret its intention to arm the non-SNM civilians to help the "clancleanthing" it was undertaking in Burco, Berbera and Hargeisa. Obviously, with a government like that, there was always those that felt for it and hence, the clan wars which took place in Somaliland between neighboring brotherly clans. What the SNM did when it removed the ruthless regime was to unite those clans and bring them under a big tree to discuss a peaceful future where our neighboring clans would live in peace and prosperiety. The SNM then dissolved itself and handed over the Power to the people. The fruits of the SNM is today's Somaliland. Peaceful, democratic and looking forward to development and bright future.

^^Waxay rer Puntland wadaan waa bahdilaad cadaana. At least, runta ragga ma dishee inay runta u sheegaan weeyan. They need to tell them the truth that Sool and Sanaag's faith is within Somaliland.

The writing was written on the wall in big bold letters the day Ina Xaashi was given the marching orders out of Garoowe, but the hardcore die-hard ones turned a blind eye to that anyway, until each and everyone hit the dead-end. It seems the remaining folks from Laaska in Garoowe had their last straw.

^^ then why is it that your so called government owes its whole existence to the occupational Xabashi forces? And what government uses an enemy's forces to rule the people it supposedly represented??? If I am not mistaken, you are well aware what the people of Mogadishu achieved on their own. They kicked out the warlords who you recognise as a government and brought peace and rule to their streets. Your phantom government, brought Xabashi forces to subjogate the people and make them submit to their rule. Now, who should stop the voilence? The occupational forces and the warlords or the people who want nothing but to free their country of the blague of warlordism and occupation?

^ Two questions: 1. Is the TFG a government or is it a warlord faction installed by a foreign occupational force? 2. Why do you think the freedom fighters should lay down their arms and surrender?

^^ You forgot, "Mr. Me" is a fella Hargeisaawi (if we take his word for it)... He is one of those that are really annoyed by Hargeisa's successes. But what is news here is "Aduun iyo Aakhiro", has finally shown his true colours... not only is he making excuses for the occupying forces but he also accuses the freedom fighters of being anti-government criminals. Talk about adding insult to injury!! Dhuumasho dhabarku muuqdo waa dhib iyo hadimo. you hide behind 'somali unity' ....... and still you apoligise for,make excuses and constantly whine 'we need our xabash masters' .... I think that sums it up.
