MMA, I was inspired by the evolutionary development in Bay region. I read that they have institutionalized a political process that might become a model for the rest of the southern Somalia. The region has enjoyed a relative stability ever since the TFG secured Moadisho from the Islamists. They are reported to have elected a governor Mohamed Abdi Mahad. Tell us more of this. I don't think what is done in Bakool is anywhere near "revolutionary" nor "evolutionary." The residents opted to return how it was during the UNISOM in '93-'95, who initiated these kind of political process in southern part of the country during their stay. The United Nations-initiated political process was based a buulo-tuulo-degmo-magaalo process. Each tuulo and degmo would elect among themselves a few representive people who will represent them in Gobol Council at the gobol's xarun, and the council will elect the guddoomiyaha gobolka during the brief election process. Nothing new in this. The only new kusoo kordhay one can only say is the transparency and thus non-disputes resulting from it; also a little campaigning by the respective camps, of going to degmooyinka and tuulooyinka. PS -- The guy's name, the new governor of Bakool, is Max'ed Cabdi Max'ed [Max'ed Tool], a former national basketball player. Also speaking of Bakool, let me mention Waajid. Waajid -- which used to be a small degmo [thus the name 'waa jid'] in Bakool, and relatively touched by a few skirmishes of civil war, which last occured in the '90s -- took advantage of chaos that surrounds the town and the region. Now, all major NGOs and UN organizations that deals for the South are headquartered there, because of its relative peace, order and a major airstrip, the former, large military airfield.

Barlamaanka xorta ah (Dastuur gaalo): Waa garabka mucaaradka ah ee baarlamanka Empgathi, waxay ku doodayaan in la jabiyey jaartarka, iyagaa wax ka doortay C/yuusuf, misana ansixiyey C/geedi Bulshada Rayidka (Gacmo Gaalo): waa ururo fuliya adeegyada iyo ujeedooyinka gaalada, oo rumeysan in diinta Islaamka laga fogeeyo Nolosha oo idil, bulshaduna ka xorowdo cibaadada Ilaahay.

Waxee la jabeen, oo kalsooni dhameystiran dadweynaha ugu heli waayeen, oo Xabashadda u sahashay dalka inay wada qabsadaan waa taas camal. Fudeed, deg deg iyo siyaasad la'aan.

Originally posted by Sayid: MMI, If it is that simple as the above dotted line dictates, so why not we get it by now? And what is with the solid line from the above near Hargeisa, Groowe? ONLY one sided? The northern "boundary" is a line and not doted because Ingiriis colonials ceded the land to and signed with Xabashi, without any consultation with Soomaalida. For the southern "boundary," it is different. Talyaaniga did not cede nor sign any agreements. Still it is the same, even if Talyaaniga colonials signed any bogus agreement. We can still liberate because we can enter the line from the so-called "disputed" provisional "boundary."

Mudane Gaashaanlesare Jaamac Max'ed Qaalib waa nin Soomaaliyeed, cadaaladda iyo xaqa u taagan. Nin Soomaaliyeed aan waxba galabsan oo saldhig lagu tuuro qof walba oo Soomaaliyeed damiir leh ayee dhibeysaa. Asmara waa magaalo madaxda Eritareeya, oo ah dal iyo dad aan waligood dhibaato u geysan Soomaalida.

Nothing to do with politics, but everything to do with deegaanka iyo nabadiisa. Marka haddee qabiilo dego Waqooyi ay heshiisiyeen walalahooda la wadaago deegaanadda, ha ahaato Buuhoodle ama meel kale, taas dhaqan Soomaali soo jireen ah ayee ahayd. Dadka saas u horseedayna, oo u kacay walaalahood inay heshiisiyaana wey ku mahadsanyihiin. Marka kuma xirno siyaasad, ee degaan wadaag oo degan iyo nabad wanaag ku xirantahay maxaa yeelay waxa ka dhacaayo dariskaaga aad ayuu kuu quseyaa than kan shishe ee kaa fog.

Originally posted by Sayid: Anyway, it is a political suicide fo a member country to lay claim to take on another's recognized land. Soomaaliya is not claiming Xabashi's land. Soomaaliya is claiming its rightfully stolen, Xabashi-annexed, British-ceded land. The international community you speak of knows this too, hence most official maps have the doted provisional lines between the "border" of Soomaaliya and Itoobiya, instead of an international line. It has never ratified, that is why the "border" between Soomaaliya and Itoobiya is always provisional, instead of a settled international one.

Baliis, do not use clan names as a title. It is one thing when it is a copy-and-paste article and neglected to edit the clan names within the posts, however completely another, when one posts a clan name deliberately and as a title. Some people took this leisure of posting this particular clan name lately on this section, as though it was officially condoned. There is a reason why this clan name -- and all other Soomaali clans mostly -- has an asterisk. Ee marka mar labaad, do not post clan names on here, idinkoo raali ah.

Another bogus, clan-based, so-called 'maamul goboleed.' How can half-gobol be a maamul goboleed [in this case, defined as a federal state]? The whole Sanaag gobol hadduu ahaan lahaa waaba la garan lahaa. Teeda kale, the orchestrators should have spent some more time to study, instead of hastily declaring this magac u yaal only maamul goboleed; they should have known that it is against this Xabashi-led dowlad ku sheeg's own written axdi to declare one gobol, let alone half-gobol, as a federal state. It is in that constitution lasoo dhoob dhoobay that at least two gobols or more can only form a 'federal state.' Not half-gobols and half-tuulo or half-buulo, for that matter, to satisfy every perceived grieving and wronged sub-clan's goof in Soomaaliya.

Eebba ha kala qabto walaalaha Soomaaliyeed ku diriraayo deegaankaas, intii aan waxba galabsan ku geeriyootayna Eebba ha u wada naxariisto -- aamiin. Soomaali iyo dhul qalalan, oo angag ah ku dirir goormee kala daali doonaan. This nomadic miyi mentality runtii has to stop for once and all.

i doubt Quraanyo could ever do that. "Ants pulling an earthworm." "A group of ants carrying a spider." "The dead body of a cricket near an ant nest. After 1 minute. A worker ant has found the mantis. After 3 minutes. Other workers have swarmed from the nest. After 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Fellow workers have successively gathered around the mantis. After 10 minutes. Gradual movement of the body towards the nest begins. .......... After 1 hour. The food was split into pieces at the entrance of the nest. After 48 hours. The food has finally been taken into the nest by widening the entrance."

Ethiopia is landlocked and possible options would be in neighbouring Somalia where Ethiopian troops are helping the interim government -- either to Bosasso in the Puntland region or Berbera in breakaway Somaliland, analysts say . I am quoting again. Soomaaliyeey goormaa riyadda ee hurdada dheer laga kici doonaa?

Ethiopia signs [soomaali Galbeed] gas deal with Petronas ADDIS ABABA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Ethiopia has signed a $1.9 million deal allowing Malaysian state oil firm Petronas [PETR.UL] to develop natural gas in its [soomaali Galbeed] region where rebels have warned oil companies to stay away, an official said on Friday. "The agreement signed between Ethiopia and Petronas focuses on the development and marketing of Kalub and Hilal gas deposits in the [soomaali Galbeed]," a Ministry of Mines and Energy official, who declined to be named, told Reuters. Ethiopian Minister of Mines and Energy Alemayeu Tegenu signed the agreement with Petronas in Kuala Lumpur last month after the Malaysian firm won a tender for the Kalub and Hilal areas, the official added. The official said under the accord Petronas was expected to lay down a pipeline to transport the gas to a nearby port. Ethiopia is landlocked and possible options would be in neighbouring Somalia where Ethiopian troops are helping the interim government -- either to Bosasso in the Puntland region or Berbera in breakaway Somaliland, analysts say . The [soomaali Galbeed] Basin, a gas-prolific area covering 350,000 sq km, is believed to contain gas reserves of some 4 trillion cubic feet, according to the government. Ethiopia says it has broken the backbone of the rebel [soomaali Galbeed] Nation Liberation Front (ONLF) which attacked a Chinese-run oil exploration field in April killing 74 people. But the separatist group denies that, and has repeatedly warned foreign energy firms from operating in the area which borders Somalia. "Pursuing oil and natural gas exploration activities in ****** at this stage can only be characterised as gross corporate irresponsibility," the ONLF said this week. Petronas is also engaged in the exploration of oil in the Gambella Basin in western Ethiopia. Reuters via Soomaalitalk

Akbar said she is a personal friend of Somali Prime Minister Ali Gedi . Akbar is a chemical engineer who worked for state-run Kuwait Oil Company and Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co. (KUFPEC) for 25 years before playing a role in the start up of KEC in 2005. Kuwait Times [August 08] ----------- Government documents obtained by Reuters listed Kuwait Energy's chief executive officer Sara Akbar, a friend of Gedi's , as one of the advisers to the administration. Reuters [August 13] --------------- Kan Fanaxle Xabashadda u adeego awalba wax quman kama sugeynin, waxa iga daran is that he will not stop until he must forcefully stopped. He is on the path of selling the whole country, which soon will include its citizens, to personal 'friends.' Shuud.

This is the exact model replica both Jubba Airways and Daallo Airlines use from Dubai to Xamar and other destinations. I don't see any modern about it. The problem is exacerbated by the fact they overhaul with business merchandizes and deliberately leave passengers' luggages out in Dubai for a week minimum or even worse, a month or sometimes even lost. I had seen at Jubba Airline's headquarters luggages collecting dust because dadkii lahaa long ago ka samray when they did not bring and got back wherever they were visiting from. Who knows they eventually iska qaataan those baggages. Mine? It took ten days, which forced me to wear only the two t-shirts I luckily had on the carry-on small bag. No barfuun; no deodorant; nothing. Without those and living, you can imagine, kuleelka Xamar.
