Taking 40 winks in the middle of the day may reduce the risk of death from heart disease, particularly in young healthy men, say researchers. A six-year Greek study found that those who took a 30-minute siesta at least three times a week had a 37% lower risk of heart-related death. The researchers took into account ill health, age, and whether people were physically active. Experts said napping might help people to relax, reducing their stress levels. It is known that countries where siestas are common tend to have lower levels of heart disease, but studies have shown mixed results. The researchers in the Greek study looked at 23,681 men and women aged between 20 and 86. The subjects did not have a history of heart disease or any other severe condition. Participants were also asked if they took midday naps and how often, and were asked about dietary habits and physical activity. The researchers found those who took naps of any frequency and duration had a 34% lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who did not take midday naps. Those who took naps of more than 30 minutes three or more times a week had a 37% lower risk. Working men Among working men who took midday naps, there was a 64% reduced risk of death compared with a 36% reduced risk among non-working men. There were not enough female deaths to compare figures. The researchers said taking a siesta may reduce stress, hence the more notable finding in working men. Lead researcher Dr Dimitrios Trichopoulos, from the Harvard School of Public Health, said: "In countries where mortality from coronary diseases is low, siesta is quite prevalent. "There have been other studies but with equivocal results. "This study has four advantages - it's large, prospective, limited to healthy people and we have been very careful to control for physical activity. "The thing we can say is that it's worth studying further." He added that if backed by other trials, taking a siesta would be an interesting way of reducing heart disease as it had no side effects. The only important factor was that people should not reduce the amount of physical activity they did in the rest of the day. June Davison, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "These interesting findings identify that having a siesta is associated with a reduced risk of dying from a heart problem, particularly in working men. "Having a nap in the middle of the day may help people to unwind and relax - which is important for our overall health. "However it is important to get a balance between rest and activity, as being regularly active can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." She added that people who felt stressed might be more tempted to have less healthy behaviour, such as smoking, eating a poor diet, drinking too much alcohol and not getting enough exercise. This would add to their risk of suffering a heart-related death.

Although Somaliland does not immediately remind visitors of the sweet taste of love, I recently came across a story which - in its dramaturgy and romantic touch - resembles much the Italian story of Romeo and Juliet. It’s the story of Elmi Bodheri, a Somali poet little known outside Somaliland. Bodheri's poems were inspired by a tragic and true tale of "forbidden love". While working in a bakery in Berbera town, a young woman of exceptional beauty named Hodhan entered the room to buy some bread. As she said "good morning" to him, he instantly fell in love with her. He could not sleep; he could not eat or drink. He was struck by her beauty In a conservative society, it was forbidden for any man to contact any woman or express his feelings without permission; and besides, he was a mere baker and she was from a richer family of higher social standing. The tradition would have been for his family to approach her family and formally meet. But this was not possible due to their relative social standing. He finally got a chance to see her again. He heard that she would be visiting a neighbour. But he never saw Hodhan, he fell asleep and was angry at himself for missing his chance to see her. "I have heard that other men have stepped forward to claim the girl on whom my mind was set. Wind, swear to be by the everlasting one that you will carry my words though the air. Tell her that stone houses and walls would have felt the pain. Tell her that termite hills would have sprouted green grass if they had but heard these words of mine. Courage and stoicism were valued in Somali nomadic culture, but open talk about love and affection was not tolerated. His clan became worried that he was now at marrying age, but was not interested in anyone other than Hodhan. They brought four beautiful young women to him, and they uncovered the top part of their dresses to show him their breasts, then he was asked to choose one amongst the four girls as his bride. He refused. Later, he became distraught; a "different man" after learning that she was to be married to another man richer than himself and from the same social class as her. He was inconsolable. Hodhan used to cry too when she saw all these poetry and people criticizing her for not going to him. Bodheri was finally persuaded to marry and leave Berbera, but he kept dreaming of Hodhan and talking to his wife as if she was her. Unable to tolerate this, she left him and Bodheri returned to Berbera, where he died in 1947; his body is buried in a dusty cemetery in Berbera. The tale says that Bodheri died of a broken heart, childless and still in his youth. Bodheri left behind an extraordinary collection of poems of unrequited love, inspirational to this day. Musicians have used his words to create music and dance from Somali, Ethiopia, Kenya and surrounding regions his words, which broke with taboo and are still recited by heart by many Somalis today Bodheris bakery is still operational up to today and could become one of Berberas tourist attractions... That was a nice read

Hargeysa, July 7, 2007 (SL Times) – Somaliland Minister of Sport and Youth Mohamoud Saeed has announced on Thursday that Somaliland’s regional games tournament will start on 23 July, 2007 in Hargeysa and that the regional sports tournament will be participated by all of Somaliland’s six regions of Hargeysa, Togdheer, Awdal, Sanag, Sahil and Sool, and said the tournament's sporting activities will comprise of football, basketball and track and field (athletics) games. In a press conference held in the minister’s office on Thursday, the minister said “we have been waiting a long time for this event to take place and that for some time the question regarding ‘when the ministry will hold the tournament has been long awaited and I am honoured today to announce the venue and start date for the regional games, Hargeysa will be the host venue for the regional tournament games to be held and will begin on 23 July 2007”. The minister called on all of his regional ministry’s sport coordinators and their respective teams and contestants to arrive in Hargeysa no later than 20 July, so that they can at least get two full days of rest before start of the tournament and requested the regional governors and town mayor’s to support and encourage their region’s teams and contestants by providing them with whatever assistances and to escort them to the capital. The minister added that all the expenses of the players and their transport will be reimbursed by his ministry and said all the teams and contestants meals and lodgings expenses while in Hargeysa during the tournament will be covered by the ministry and co’ funded by UNFPA. “The regional teams and contestants will be allocated to the five Hargeysa districts during the games”, the minister said. Somaliland’s regional annual sport tournament is the biggest sporting activity in Somaliland’s sport calendar. The minister for Sport, Mohamed Saeed was asked, ‘the number of different sporting activities in the tournament?’ The minister said, “Football, basketball and track and field (athletics), will be the prime sporting activities taking place in the tournament. All Regions will be represented in these activities, even though, one or two districts in some of the regions will not be taking part in the basketball activity because these districts do not have basketball facilities in their districts”. ‘Why, Hargeysa region is always the chosen host venue for holding the tournament?’, was put to the minister and in reply said “because other regions or their capitals do not have the capacities and sporting facilities available to host for this kind of tournament”. The minister mentioned that this year’s tournament will have a Somaliland national from Norway who is a qualified professional referee and sport judge, and will aid the ministry in its refereeing and supervision of the major tournament’s games, and that this will assist the quality of the games this year, greatly. This tournament has not been held for the past two years because of financial restraints inside the ministry of Sport. The last tournament held by the ministry was in 2004. In that year the region Sanag won the football tournament’s ‘Regional Cup winners Cup’ contest and Hargeysa region netted the basketball ‘Regional Champions Cup’. Source: Somaliland Times

For 16 years since Somaliland declared self-independence and broke up from anarchic Somalia, this tiny nation has been pleading for international recognition as a sovereign State. This plea has been largely ignored, even as the world powers today acknowledge that while Somalia is a failed State, this breakaway enclave remains a model that demonstrates how this troubled Horn of Africa could be fixed. Today, not even her flag is raised in international meetings. With this unofficial status, Somaliland cannot enter into any formal trade agreement and therefore is locked out officially from trading with many nations. The country is believed to be rich in oil deposits and has many tourist destinations yet not many can explore them. Just like many developing nations, she lacks the financial capacity to burrow into the untapped resources and expand them. More still, she has been cut off from world financial institutions—one of the tangible benefits international recognition would give. The meagre revenue that the country receives from Somalis in the Diaspora and from livestock exports to her neighbour, Ethiopia is what she basically relies on. This is despite the fact that Somaliland has fought terror, pursued democracy and done perhaps all the world superpowers demand of failed States. She even bears all factors of statehood: a constitution, a defined territory, a stable population, a functional government, a national currency, passports, an army among others, but no nation has recognised the independence she craves. A good percentage of her 3.5 million people live in abject poverty as they lack aid to support them. The 777,000 square kilometre stretch of land in the Horn of Africa with semi-desert terrain, roughly the size of England and Wales, Somaliland declared itself a republic in 1991 after warlords toppled Somali dictator Mohamed Said Barre. Part of the reason for the non-recognition of the self-proclaimed State is the adherence of the African Union (AU)’s principle of respecting old colonial borders to avoid fanning secession conflicts between the State and Somalia. This is despite the fact that Somaliland’s territories were separated way back by the British and the Italians during the colonial period. Somaliland claims she has a defined territory (the former British Somaliland.) And irrespective of the fact that African precedents for splits like Ethiopia and Eritrea in the early 1990s, were given their independence. Analysts claim perhaps what the AU fears is that recognition might lead to continued territorial dispute like the other splits. But this shouldn’t deter giving the people of Somaliland what they have been fighting for all these years. “There have been many unions that have not worked out, and the partners have gone their own way,” says Dahir Rayale Kahin, President of Somaliland. “Senegal and Gambia, Libya and Egypt, Egypt and Syria. And when the pairs broke up, each was recognised as an independent State. We ask no more than this for Somaliland.” However, critics say the difference in all the brief courtships, both parties agreed to separate, but the southern Somalis in Mogadishu have campaigned for a reunion and will not accept Hargeisa’s independence. The country should be given recognition because it has already made great strides, in both the economic and political fronts. Since Said Barre’s bombing, the country has built 137,000km of tarmac roads; schools, hospitals and perhaps held the kind of general elections one would hope for in Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe backyard, Swaziland and even Somalia. They even have a new constitution that was adopted in 2001. This show s great leaps for the country. Recently, Sweden said it would regard Somaliland as a self-governing area in terms of development aid, and officials hope others in northern Europe would follow suit. This is the trend that should be followed. In 2006, the Welsh Assembly invited speaker of Somaliland, Abdirahman Mohammed Abdillahi to the opening of a new assembly, a move that Somaliland sees as crawling steps to global recognition. Somaliland claims there is an element of hypocrisy on the part of the international community. “We are fighting terror, we have democratised. Why put us in chains?” The country also lacks any communication with the international community. The country lacks a country code and often uses Somali’s. She also lacks representation in other nations as she has no ambassadors representing other States and none representing the people of Somaliland in the outside world. A reunion with Somalia will drag the country in to war and into an unstable government. And even if Somalia controls Somaliland, the people of Somaliland might never be patriotic to Somalia because they have already built their own nation and would be comfortable being in their known home. The hope that the only way to go is to reunite the two States will drag the prospects of building a greater Somalia. The fact that Somaliland has imminent oil deposits might also bring to the fore more reasons to start fighting to monopolise the lucrative sector. Somali a has been grappling with daily bloodshed and lacks a central government. The country has its own problems and a reunion will create more harm than good. Just as echoed by Somaliland in Addis Ababa, leaders should have ‘bravery’ to recognise the sovereignty that is an overdue historical inevitability for breakaway Somali enclave. “We are a de facto state, a stable democracy in one of the most troubled parts of Africa. We have done all the things a good country is supposed to,” said Somaliland Foreign Minister Abdillahi Duale. “What we lack is the due recognition. So we hope some wise, decent, brave African head of state will call a spade a spade - and say yes. Then others will follow.” Nice Reading
