Sky "Joining" Or "NOT" that was not what I was talking about. But what I really found interesting was the honesty "daacadnimoda" shown from the reporter's side. Haven't read such an honest opinion from that corner. All I read in other opinionated websites is some cheap "nationalist' stride that doesn't resonate beyond the writer's own ears. In fact, that kind of bullshit doesn't help anyone at all. Many Somalilanders recieve that kind of qiiro-japan Somalism as an insult to their nationalistic stride and surely reminds them of why they would no longer have anything to do with these people.

Faallada Aayaha.com - Jamhuuriyadda Somaliland, Jamhuuriyada gooni-u-goosadka, ama Waqooyi Galbeed, waxaad doonto ugu yeer, waxaan shaki ku jirin in 26ka Juun tahay maalin xusid mudan, isla markaana baal dahab ah kaga jirta taariikhda Bulsho-weynta Soomaaliyeed. Shan iyo Afartan sano ayaa kasoo wareegatay maalintii uu gumeystaha Ingiriisku madax banaani siiyay dhulkii berigaas loo yiqiin British Somaliland. Xornimadaas iyada ah kuma aaney imaan dhalanteed ee waxaa naftooda u huray Naxariistii Janno Eebe haka waraabiyee Halgameyaal Soomaaliyeed oo geeri ka door biday gumeysi reer Galbeed. Xornimadii 26ka Juun kadib, walaalaheen reer Somaliland waxey door bideen in ay la midoobaan koofurta Soomaaliya, iyagoo sugay afar casho, ilaa koofurta Soomaaliya madax banaani ka heshay Talyaaniga 1dii Luulyo ee sanadkii 1960kii. Talaabada iyo go’aanka ay reer Somaliland qaadeen ee ay kula midoobeen Koofurta waxey aheyd talaabo taariikhi ah, bilowna u noqon kartay in la mideeyo shanta Soomaali. (Somaliland, Koofurta, Somali Galbeed, Jabuuti, iyo NFD). Midowgii labada gobol kadib, waxaa bilowday loolan siyaasadeed oo u dhaxeeyay hogaamiyeyaashii Soomaalida ee metalayey beelaha qaarkood. Dowladii Madaxweyne Aadan Cabdulle Cismaan oo aheyd tusaalihii ugu horeeyay ee Nidaam Dowladnimo, ma waarin ee waxaa looga guuleystay doorashooyin musuqmaasuq dilooday oo dalka ka dhacay, wuxuuna Madaxweyne Mudane Aadan Cabdulle Cismaan ka degay xukunkii isagoo tusaale u noqday Soomaali keliya maahee, Afrikada oo idil. Aadan Cadde kadib, waxaa xukunka la wareegay Madaxweyne Cabdirashiid Cali Sharmaarke, balse laftiisu ma waarin oo nasiib daro waa la dilay, waxaana xigay oo xukunka la wareegtay xukuumadii Mileteriga aheyd ee uu hogaaminayey Maxamed Siyaad Barre. Inkastoo xukuumadihii talada dalka soo qabtay intii u dhaxeysay 1960-1969 lagu tilmaami jiray xukuumadihii Musuqmaasuqa, hadana xukuumadii Mileteriga ee 1969-1990 ayaa noqotay aabihii Musuq-maasuqa. Taariikhda xukuumadii Mileteriga dib ugu laaban meyno oo inteena badan waan ka dheregsannahay, balse waxaan tilmaami lahaa oo qura in walaalaheen Reer Somaliland ay dhibaatooyin aan la koobi karin kala kulmeen xukuumadii Mileteriga aheyd. Nabsigii ay gashay xukuumadii Mileteriga iyo aamusnaantii shacab weynaha Soomaaliyeed ayaadna moodaa in uu na dhaxalsiisay ayaan darada maanta Soomaali haysata, meel kastoo ay ku sugan yihiin. 1991 ayey Reer Somaliland sheegeen in ay dalka intiisa kale ka go’een, dagaalo sokeeye, dib u heshiisiin, iyo dib u dhis kadib, maanta Somaliland waa degaanka ugu xasiloon Shanta Soomaali, marka laga reebo Jamhuuriyadda aan walaalaha nahay ee Jabbuuti. Reer Somaliland waa dad ka tashaday aayahooda, sugay amniga degaankooda, qabtay doorashooyin, dadaalna ugu jira dib u dhiska dhulkooda. Horumarka ay gaareen waa mid ku dayasho mudan. Sidii ay Koofurta uga hormareen hanashadii xornimada ee 1960kiina, waxey maanta ka horeeyaan Koofurta Soomaaliya, ee ay dagaal-oogayaasha shacabka madax furashada u haystaan. Iyagoo ka faa’ideysanaya fursadan, ayey aheyd in sidii 1960kii ay Reer Somaliland muujiyaan hogaan siyaasadeed oo qaan gaar ah, iyo siyaasad ka madax banaan caadifad qabiil, iyo cuqdad gaamurtay. Midnima-doon iyo Somalilander midkuu doono ha ahaadee, waxaan filayaa in aaney jirin cid maanta u ololeyneysa in ay Somaliland haatan kusoo biirto Koofurta oo ah dhul isagiiba dhiig dhex dabaalanaya. Inta laga helayo dowlad dhexe oo Soomaaliyeed oo awood u leh in ay gorgortan la gasho walaalaheen Reer Somaliland, waxaa muhiim ah in aan taageerno tusaalana ka dhigano horumarka dhaqan, dhaqaale, iyo siyaasadeed, ee ay walaalaheen reer Somaliland ku guda jiraan. Sida ku cad taariikhda wixii ka horeeyay xilligii gumeysigu soo caga dhigtay dhulkeena sanadkii 1884, ma jirin wax la yiraahdo British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, French Somaliland, NFD, ama Somali-Galbeed, balse magaceenu wuxuu ahaa SOOMAALIYA. Sidaa daraadeed waxaan walaalaheen reer Somaliland xusuusinayaa in Koofur iyo Waqooyi, Bari iyo Galbeed, iyo NFD-ba ay Soomaali yihiin, waxa mideeyana uu yahay magaca Soomaali. Markaa ninkii doono haku darsado Land, kii Doonana, Koofur, galbeed, Bari, ama Waqooyi, balse Soomaali waa mid qura

Exquisite The land looks so beautiful when it rains. You learn a new thing everyday. Didn't know there were wild horses in Somaliland.

Ciidamada Bilayska Ee Belgium Oo Gacanta Ku Dhigey Axmed Saleebaan Dafle Brussels June 22, 2005 (Haatuf) Ciidamada amaanka ee dalka Belgium ayaa sida la sheegay gacanta ku dhigay Axmed Saleebaan Dafle oo ahaan jirey wasiirkii arrimaha gudaha ee dawladdii Siyaad Barre, isla markaana xubin ka ahaa golihii sare ee kacaanka, ka dib markii lagu eedeeyey inuu ka dambeeyey dil ka dhacay dalkaasi oo loo geystay muwaadin reer Somaliland ah. Sida ay wararku sheegayaan Waxa isagana ciidamada bileysku la qabteen Axmed Saleebaan Dafle nin kale oo magaciisa la yidhaahdo Siciid Jaamac oo ay ilmaadeer yihiin Jaamac Cali Jaamac si ay wax uga weydiiyaan dil fool xun oo loo geystey muwaadin reer Somaliland ah oo magaciisa la odhan jirey Caydaruus Cabdilaahi (Caydaruus Magaalo) oo ku dhashay magaalada Hargeysa, balse sideed bilood ka hor lagu dilay dalka Belgium oo uu ku joogay magangelyo qaxootinimo. Lama oga sababta dilka iyo xidhiidhka ay la lahaayeen labadan nin, hase yeeshee waxa ay dadka arrintaa la socda qaarkood rumaysan yihiin in laga yaabo inuu Caydaruus wax ka ogaa meel ka dhacyadii ay xukuumaddii Bare u geysatay shacbiga Somaliland, oo uu ka mid yahay Axmed Saleebaan Dafle ragga loo tirinayo inay lug weyn ku lahaayeen falalkaasi. Ilaa hadda bileyska Belgium wax war ah kama ay soo saarin qabashada labadan nin, iyo waxay kala kulmeen markii ay su’aalaha weydiiyeen. Balse arrintan waxa ay dareen ku dhalisay dadka reer Somaliland ee degan Belgium oo laga yaabo inay arrintan uga faa’iidaystaan si ay ugu oogaan Axmed Saleebaan Dafle xasuuqyadii laga geystey Somaliland. Wararka laga soo xigtey jaaliyadda Somaliland ee dalka Belgium ayaa sheegaya inay muddadaa sideeda bilood ahaydba ku hawlanaayeen sidii cadaalada loo horkeeni lahaa Axmed Saleebaan Dafle, iyaga oo isla markaana ururiyey lacag lagu qabto looyaro ku ooga dacwadahaasi. Axmed Saleebaan Dafle muddadii uu wasiirka arrimaha gudaha ahaa waxa uu ka mid ahaa shakhsiyaadkii ugu awooda badnaa taliskii Siyaad Barre, isaga oo isla markaana ahaa taliyihii ciidankii nabadsugida oo fulin jirey hawlihii xadhiga iyo xasuuqa ahaa ee loo geystey shacabka reer Somaliland qaarkood iyo guud ahaanba muwaadiniintii qarankii la isku odhan jirey Soomaaliya, waxaanu muddooyinkii u dambeeyey qaxootinimo ku joogay dalka Eritrea, balse waxa uu ka tegay markii ay dhaceen dagaaladii dhexmaray Itoobiya iyo Eritrea, isaga oo u kicitimay dalalka Yurub, gaar ahaana Talyaaniga, laakiin ma cadda inuu haatan u guurey dalka Belgium iyo inuu safar ku tegay.

^^Talk about the massacre at Eel-wak and invading peaceful peoples. :confused: Sky u sheeg As for Gen. Duke My pal, geographically speaking the region is no doubt part and parcel of Somaliland. You can present it to any intellectual that is free of clanish bigotry. Even Ali Galaydh has admitted that the land is part of Somaliland. That being said, if you are claiming that the bulk of the locals are in supportive of puntland, then you are wrong. In actual fact, there are more people who support Somaliland then Puntland. There are also a sizeable number (the majority I think) who support neither Somaliland nor Puntland.

^^ LOL Sky Sxb why are you advocating for a civilwar? Or do you think the Puntland melitia will be an easy cake. I don't understand where you got this "independant militias" or whatever you called them from. Sxb, I hope that will not be the case since that will be a disaster for the region, because a prelonged war will only hinder economical and social progress of the region. If the regular Puntland army is defeated and routed out into where they came from, then that is mission accomplished. Whatever spill over that follows can be contained since the locals will be left to run their area and not people from other regions of Somaliland.

^^ Look around mate, there is colonial borders everywhere. Sky Hold you horses mate. If you look at it from a different angle, the problem is not that difficult actually. It is just that the Rayaale adminisrtation has made it very difficult. There had been countless opportunities that it did not take advantage of. Simply put, he is a softie and doesn't qualify to lead Somaliland in this war. Somaliland needs a battlehardened leadership for a successful less blood, solution to the problem. That however needs for us to topple this incompetent leadership, which is helping to divide Somaliland more then it is uniting. I am becoming sick of Dahir Rayaale these days. He is been a failure. But that doesn't mean Somaliland still can not kick *** if war broke out there. We have an army which is more then capable of dealing a heavy blow to anything that comes on its way. Personally, I prefer for a new leadership in Somaliland to solve this issue.

^^ obviously, you are a day late mate! Wiil Duco I wouldn't want to see yet another Somali fighting a nameless war, but if that is where it comes down to, it will be bloody one unseen in that corner for decades. Sure, ninkii roon ayuuba deedna reerka u hadhi. The rule of the jungle. But I would wanted for the puntland leadership to think outside the clan box and realise that borders can not be altered in place for ethnic/clan territorialisation. That is expansionism, and we will fight it.

Somaliland has time and again made it clear that it wants to settle the issue peacefully. But it is now becoming clear to everyone that one of the parties to the conflict is unwilling to commit itself in that direction. Which sadly leaves us with no other option, and now war seems a very inevitable reality.

Sky There are plenty of good stuff in the documentary. I liked the scenery most. There was this scene about the borderline that divides Somaliland from Somalia (Puntland). It was empty but you can see the actual line, which he said was put in place by the British and the Italians ages ago. That was interesting. Also there was this scene about Laas Qorey town. The whole town almost serene empty but in an inviting way. In Hargeisa, he goes to the open market money exchangers where you can see stacks upon stacks of money piled on the roadside. No theives no police, just business as usual. Fyr-Kanten Did you record it from Digital source? I ask because the quality of the video was exceptional, almost compareable to DVD.

Thanks Fyr-Kanten It took me 5 hours to download the 250MB file. beautiful pictures

Originally posted by Baashi: Simply not true sxb. Burco soccer team had never beaten Kismayo soccer team in a match be it official or friendly one . Hargeisa, on the other hand, won the national trophy once ('86 not sure though) and gues what team they'd played against: Kismayo! Kismayo had won 7 national cups out of 13! Kismayo dominated the soccer field back in the days. True champs. [/QB] Baashi, sxb, I wouldn't have put it that way. Probably not always [as I first implied], but I was told by knowledgeable persons, that Burao usually avenged for Hargeisa's poor record against Kismayo. Togdheer team was one of the top teams in the competition. I was told there were many occasions that Hargeisa and Kismayo met at the finals, and Kismaayo prevailed, except in 1984 when Hargeisa beat Kismaayo. Reer Hargeisa joke that Kismayo practice sixir on them. [Hargeisa team celebrating in 1984 at Mogadishu Studium] [Togdheer vs Nugaal 1986 Mogadishu Stadium]

^ LOL Waxaan maqlay, back in the old days, Hargeisa always used to beat Burco, Hargeisana Kismayo aya ka badin jirtay, Kismayona Burco aya ka badin jirtay. :eek: :eek: Hibo, I think you can come up with your own design but they charge you extra. This is just standard plan. I like Mediterranean designs and garden works.

‘a purple mountain formed a royal backcloth to the tomb’s simple whiteness. A mullah attended its splendid interior and ministered to pilgrims who came from far and wide. According to legend, as we were told, the Sheikh had come from the Yemen and landed at Maid somewhere between the tenth and 15th centuries, made alliances with the local tribes, and through his sons became ancestor of the chief tribes … Pilgrims would give alms. It is one of my wishes to go there oneday and make some du'a for the old man. do they still practice those old traditional ritual stuff? I remember my grandfather reciting something whenever he put Foox into the fire... something like Shala yaa Sheekh Isaxaaq and some dua afterwards.
