Tone, I see your point but the current sitting administration isn't good with money. Somaliland people trust their government with a lot of things but money isn't one of them. Sad but true!

^^Good idea but the money should be sent to who, the government?

Originally posted by Artful Dodger: I agree with Tone there. i am a proud lander and i think we have done magnificently to get where we are but there has to be a lot of work done that can be done in the present sitaution. one thing that amazed when i went back home is that there are some beautiful villa's and flats springing up everywhere but that the roads are terrible and need to be fixed to fit in with the surroundings. i mean it is not the number one priority but it certainly would make travel better and also improve the apearance of the infrastructure Blame ina jiciir for that. He claims to be engineer but the guy is the most ignorant individual I HAVE EVER SEEN. The city took ten steps back wards since he came to office…most of the traffic lights don’t even work anymore.

Tone, Those are very important tasks..I agree. Actually the port of Berebera is very well built. They just need to let people use it freely. Homeland security is very important. I hate spending money on military when the basic necessity is being neglected but the nature of the region doesn't give much alternative. Somaliland military is very strong. I was there last summer for three months. I did my homework. With better economy, the roads will improve too. They have too many freaking carz there. Between you and I, we will make great team. Northern will be the finance/planning minister. Red Sea/Shucayb will be the secretary of state Odwayne…communication Saylici.. Interior Qudhac…defense Gatraad caanood and Soo Maal can lobby for their positions. They have to show dedications before we can recruit them. We need a chick though. I think I have to marry layZie than give her a post. She can’t be trusted now. Hiiraan/Mugadisho ayay inugu daraysaa LOL How about Ebonique for health and education minister?

Should the World Legitimize the Independence of Somaliland? There is an underlying problem within Somalia. Most pundits don’t refer to it when they discuss the issue on TV. Nor do the African Specialists when they brief their home Governments. The question is easy to ask but the answer has everyone scratching their heads. The question is what will be the status of Somaliland? First of all what exactly is Somaliland? Somaliland is the area of Somalia that was known as British Somaliland before the Second World War. It was the base of the Allied Effort to restore the previous Government in Ethiopia after it was invaded by Fascist Italy. Somalia itself came into being back in 1960 with the merging of the two regions known as British and Italian Somaliland. However after the fall of the Siad Barre regime in 1991 Somaliland itself was a virtually Independent State that was not recognized by the International Community much to the dismay of the people of that region. While there was a transitional Government in Baidoa and Anarchy in Mogadishu there was a functioning Government in Hargeysa. While the rest of the country became the battlegrounds of warlords stability reigned in the North. But the World still did not notice the calm. But that is changing finally. It is widely known that Somaliland has close ties with Britain. But other actors are also paying attention as well. Recently there has been a mission from the African Union on a fact-finding mission. Those who are trying to seek funding and other aid from the United States have testified in front of the Congress. Similar initiatives are underway to work with the European Union as well. Like every other state in History Somaliland has suffered through growing pains as it grows as a Nation. Currently there are members of a newspaper that are in Jail. Several Groups including Amnesty International consider them to be prisoners of conscience. Freedom of the Press is a basic right in most countries. The quick and speedy resolution of this problem could assist in having the Major Powers recognize the legitimacy of an independent Somaliland. They have been functioning as a Independent State for more than a decade so what is the world waiting for? Source American Chronicle, CA -

"In need of protection themselves" That says it all. Going back in body bags....

In need of protection themselves Ghana president admits death of soldiers. LONDON - African Union (AU) chairman John Kufuor said Wednesday his organisation was disturbed at the violence greeting its first peacekeepers in Somalia, and that some Ugandan troops had been "lost." The peacekeeping contingent from Uganda arrived in Mogadishu on March 6 and were subjected to mortar attacks at the airport hours after they landed. During his state visit to Britain, Kufuor told a press conference held with British Prime Minister Tony Blair: "It is unfortunate that the first batch of troops to have gone there have been met with shooting. "As a result, Uganda has lost some men," he said without elaborating. There was no confirmation from Uganda of any losses. "It's discouraging and the African Union is rather disturbed," Kufuor added. Islamist militants said Friday they had used missiles to hit a plane carrying six troops at the Somali capital's airport. A plane caught fire but officials said there were no casualties and blamed a technical fault. Despite the violence, Kufuor, who is also the president of Ghana, stressed that his country was still committed to sending troops to join the AU force, which should eventually rise to 8,000. "Ghana is not going in there to meddle. That's not the purpose. Ghana decided to contribute just to help a sister African nation try to achieve normalcy through peacekeeping," he said. "I'm hoping that the African Union will not give up trying to assist Somalia (to) find a peaceful way." The AU force is there to protect the interim Somali government and allow for the eventual withdrawal of Ethiopian troops, who helped oust the Islamic courts from the capital last year.

They shaved.

VIVA SOMALILAND P.S. After that picture was taken, Moorgan became refugee in his own country for 16 years and Siyad baree died in foreign soil with his house being looted. Hargeisa and Buro prosper and became the best little secret of the horn. Now who is the ultimate looser here? [ March 16, 2007, 12:11 AM: Message edited by: Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar ]

Are you sure these guys are Ethiopian? How come they have no helmets? They look more like Butland militia to me. Plus, I don’t think Xabashis would be taking video being chased like that.
