DP World's New Berbera Port Development - Ground breaking ceremony

[Suldaanka]

DP World Chairman about existing Berbera Port...

1. 1300 Fully trained employees of the Port with international standard wages

2. Port performance has increased by 70% 

3. The port's capacity has increased by 50%

4. The growth of cargo is 30% 

5. Gov't income from Port has increased

 

Phase 1 of the Berbera Port expansion.

1. Building of 400 m deep sea port which can handle largest vessels 

2. Will be equiped with state of the art software and hardware equipment including 3 large Gantry cranes

3. Locally source subcontractors for most of the project's requirements. 

Since DP World arrived in Berbera.

1. Land prices in Berbera sky rocketed, which means more land tax for gov't

2. More large scale investments by international investors i.e. French company building the largest Ship Repairs Facility in Berbera, UAE Gov't funding large scale solar power project, and other companies also investing in Berbera and Somaliland in general.

3. To make Berbera a successful regional Trading Hub

[Suldaanka]

President MBC remarks:

1. Commends the Somaliland Business Community for their patriotism and nationalism  and being pioneering in their fields. The first Somali Airline after the fall of Siyad Barre was started by a Somalilander, the first Somali Hawala System was started by Somalilander, the First Telcoms that connected to the world was STC against started from Hargeisa. And so on and so forth...

2. President makes a quick remark about Somalia's opposition to Somaliland's development endevours. Says this has only made Mogadishu a laughingstock and only showed us their cold hearted ennity towards Somaliland's progress and development. He said, Berbera Port will go ahead and will develop and be among the most successful in the world and there is nothing they can do about it.

 

[Suldaanka]

I remember how cocky they used to be regarding Somaliland. By now, I am sure they have learned a lesson.

I would very surprised if we hear anymore nonsense from Villa AMISom or the so called Parliament regarding Somaliland. 

 

 

 

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

Guys  Somaliland  had now dafectio recognition but today it gained economic  recognition by a regional Arab power. In other  words koonfurians wala  qaawiyey  and that the amisom bunker is hog madhan. Than again awal ba  cawaan bay ahayeen oo wa qawanaayeen

[Mooge]

Good for Somaliland if this really goes ahead. we still don't have proof DP will make good real investment. they may spend small amount of money to use it as place holder to say hey look we made investment it belongs, we will sue you if you deny us ownership kind of thing, but reality is unless major improvement is made niyoow nothing will change status of decaying Berbera port which was neglected by jeegaan for years.

let us see niyoow. walaalaha jeegaan and their waterboys like ina-mucjiso will have to convince us this is real.

Qarnigii 10aad iyo ka horba, reer waqooyigu carab bay u shaqi tagi jireen, ilaa iyo iminkana waxba kamaysan baran ciyaalkoodana xataa dhaqanka carabta ay kusoo arkeen uguma sheekayn.

يضحك عليكم يا اخوانا

Waraysigiisa waxaan ka dhagaystay qaybta jabuuti

Wuxuu ku tilmaamay inay xataa khatar ku tahay sidii loo aamini lahaa ama loo maal gashan lahaa afrika asagoo cuskunaya qanuunka dawliga.

Su'aashu waxay ka imaanaysaa haddii jabuuti oo dawlad la aqoonsanyahay ay isku dhaceen, oo uu doonayo inay sharciga aduunka u degsan ku kala baxaan,

See beel gooni goosad ah qanuun ugu heli karaa ama u maal galin karaan ayadoo sharcigaba la baal maray wax damaanad qaad dawladeedna haysan?

Beri markii laysku dhaco ma odayaasha gabilay bay u ergoon?

Lix bilood ka dib haduu usoo  diro bonooniga gidaarka ka celiya maraakiibta waxay shacabka ku maaweelinayaan qalabkii kalena waa soo socdaa ilaa sanadka cusub ha la sugo

Ma isleedihiin wuu moogyahay arintaas?

Ilaa iyo iminka waxaan ballan qaad ahayn, iyo dhagax dhigii uu lahaa waraabe dadku yuusan ku kufin miyaad haysaan?

Maxaa dan ah oo ugu jira imaaraadka inuu dekedaha afrika koontoroolo?

Ma dhici kartaa inuu ula jeedo un boos celis maraykanku ka dambeeyo sidii shiinaha looga hor istaagi lahaa afrika?

Wax badan si caqliyaysan u ogaada marka hore adinkoon "carab" baa deked noo dhisaysa isaga marqaamin.

Gooni,

Garashada aad ka hadleysa ee aad naftaada ku hafreysaa in aad leedahay hadey jirto adiga ayey "sad" ama "dariiq-bixiye" kuu noqon laheyd, saaxiib. Waa haddeyba run tahey in aad garasho aad leedahey.

Sababta oo ah, tan "Carro-Shankaroon" ah, ragii lahaa ee Adeerkaa Afweyne kasoo "ridey" ayaa ka talinaya waxa ay "mustaqbalkeedu" noqonayo.

Adiguse, "caarkaaga Gedo" joogey ayaa "kufsi-xaaraan" ah lala daba fadhiyaaye ee orod oo adiga iyo kan madax-weyninimadda sheeganaya ee Ina Farmaajo layidhaahdo, oo waliba ah nin "googorad dumar" ku hoos "magan" ah, inta aad israacdaan caarkaas Soomaaliyeed wax ka celiya.

Gaar ahaan, maadaama, sida aan horey kuugu sheegay, "Carro-Shankaroon", rag siman oo "labaadan jir ilaa sideedan jir" da'doodu u dhaxeyso, oo caqliga, xoogga iyo cilmiguba "gonto-dhigteen", oo ah ragii lahaa ayaa "sara-joog" ku illaashanaya.

Ee mar uun ka gudub oo ka garaad kor "qiiq-isku-qariskan" raqiiska ah ee "Shaadhka Soomaalinimadda" ah ee dhacay ee aad ka sineysaneyso ee aad ka been-sheegeyso, maadaama aaney jirin cid kaa iibsaneysa.

On this day I came to say Congratulation.

It has been roller coaster trip of a year where sometimes things looked bleak. I guess you stayed consistent. This was achieved without kissing any behinds, like the dictators "democrats"..of the area seem to do a lot these days, sometimes and some of them so excessive nauseating.

Now you are getting somewhere. There is nothing going on in Eritrea or Ethiopia other than youtube shows.

If the Suez and Bab El mendeb are closed for some goat desease lol Berebera will be the only one functioning to China, to India, to Japan no problem at all as if the ship wrecks (worst case) in Suez or Bab El Mendeb don't exist.

 

Some of our cousin or relative dictators and democrats are going "what went wrong".

 

Congratulation again and to all Somalis in Djibouti and in Ethiopia as the main beneficiaries comparable to that of Somaliland if not more.

Horta waxa la odhanjiray fish'ka aya maskaxda koriya, laakin waxay u badantay kaluunka badda Puntland in suntii Cabdilahi Yusuf ku shubay DNA wax ka badashay oo hada maskaxda wax ayu u dhima.

Kolka waxaan ku odhan lahaa, Kaluunka ka wareeg oo caanaha geela badso. 

Mida kale, arinka Berbera waa roob galbeed kaa xiga - ka samir mooye, rajo kale ma laha.  Tu kale mooye, tani waa socotay ha ku daalin. 

Hadii la isku dhaco, wixii in rag kala yeeli jiray ayuunba lagu kala baxayaa.

Desperate times. The world has changed, It is not the era of Kurdish style geo-politics. Get a rest and just watch where the wind is going to blow next. The jihadi thing is history too and do not even try to benefit it.

Duufaan,

Is that the best line of defense you can come up with in here, mate? Today we have shown you that you guys are nothing but a "hot-air-merchants". In fact, we have politically and comprehensively defeated you and defeated the rest of your Bunker-dwelling pseudo-government in Villa Somalia.

More to the point, we have made a laughingstock out of your silly talk about stopping this deal.

For today is your verdict. Particularly, after your government went to United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and they were turned down. After they went to Arab league (AL) and they were turned down. And even after they went to the EU, and the Brits, the Dutch, even the Germans, said no. Given that the Berbera deal is important for Somaliland's economical develoment, and we will not bring any pressure on the UAE to stop it, regardless of what you lot in Villa Somalia may think of it.

And now after all that, we have you talking in "riddles" and going in "circles" as if that will safe you from any embarrassment you are actually feeling right about now from the way the incompetent crew in Villa Somalia who bet the farm on it to stop this investment, went about that business.

Also, even the pseudo-parliament in Mogadishu was in it on the act of it.

However, today you have your answer, mate.

Hence, swallow that bitter bills, mate. Nicely, and slowly, one fighting gulp at the time.

For it will be good fort your soul. Instead of talking "nonsensical riddles", as your way of pretending to be smart-aleck sort of fellow who knows what others haven't got the foggiest idea of it.

That really won't do, mate. For there is a better way to hide your pain and defeat of the political kind you have suffered in here than this cheap trick of trying to sound so smart, when in fact, all you are doing - in plain sight, no less - is to hide of the pain you are political feeling right about now. 

Pull the other one, mate. It got bells on. But, this act, this transparent conceit, you are trying to pull in here is similar to the sort of "putting on airs" and "pretending indifference" and claiming that you never actually cared for the lady you have loved deeply after she turned you down in favor of another man.

This is the same and similarly silly game you are trying in here, mate. 

Ah, for love of God, guys, stop trying a silly game of this kind around here of SOL. For, it may not occurred to you yet, but dear old Oodweyne has being around long enough on this earth to easily "smell" a racket of this kind.

Or at least he could have a decent shout of a claim to actually say that he may even have "invented" a half of the silly games you lot are trying on now in here of SOL, already.... 

I have been here for a while and I see the desperation from old man and the company trying to invent a Zero game bissiness. The saylici party in Hargeysa is not a worthy news. And it does  not worth commenting it. You may try to call to Math Bayden instead emailing him. He will probably print another warming article.

[galbeedi]

OOdweyne,

I am probably late to respond to this thread.

You remember about the boy who cried wolf? I kept hearing about the DPWorld is coming,  and coming. So, I thought this was the typical propaganda to buy time again and again.

Having said, I yet have to see the shovel on the ground and the equipment to build the port. Furthermore, I want to see the fine print. The old agreement prohibits building any other port , big or small in Somaliland which I totally reject.

Any way, if this thing materializes , I will be the first to admit. t is not over,  Let us wait and see.
