Importing jaadka should immediately be stopped

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

If it was up to me, it should have been stopped its importation last year or last decade. However, now the banning is needed more than ever for security and safety reasons of the country and citizens. I hope the following news is credible.

DF oo go’aan ka gaartay sida laga yeelayo qaadka ka yimaada Kenya

Kulamo saacadihii la soo dhaafay ay yeesheen mas’uuliyiin ka tirsan xukuumadda Soomaaliya ayna goob joog ahaayeen madaxda Qaranka ayaa lagu go’aamiyay in lagu dhawaaqo joojinta qaadka iyo guud ahaan duulimaadyada ka yimaada Kenya.

Xog ay heshay Caasimada Online ayaa sheegaysa in inta laga hubinayo in qaadka uu keeni karo xanuunka Coronavirus, maadama gacmaha lagu soo jaro baakadano ku jirin,  la joojinayo dhammaan keenista qaadka.

Waxaa sidoo kale la qorshaynayaa in la hakiyo agabyada kale ee ka yimaada Kenya iyo guud ahaan duulimaadka dalkaas iyo Soomaaliya.

Xildhibaan Cali Jowhar oo ah Guddomiayah Guddiga Arimaha Bulshada ee Golaha Shacabka ayaa sheegay in maalinta berri ah ay qaban doonaan shir ayna dowladda Xukuumadda Soomaaliya ugu baaqayaan joojinta qaadka.

Sidoo kale Xildhibaanka ayaa sheegay in kulan dhacay la isku afgartay joojinta arrintaan islamarkaana go’aanka lagu dhawaaqi doono wixii ka dambeeya maalinta berri ah.

Shaqsiyaad badan ayaa dowladda Soomaaliya ka dalbaday in la joojiyo qaadka oo halis ku ah Somalia, sidoo kalane sababi kara cduurka adduunka saameeyay ee Coronavirus maadaama aan la hubin inuu gudbin karo iyo in kale.

Kenya ayaa shalay shaacisay in laba qof oo hor leh dalkaas laga helay Coronavirus, laba maalin kadib markii ay shaacisay kiiskii ugu horreeyey.

Dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa dhowaan mamnuucday dadka ka imanaya afar dal oo ka mid ah kuwa uu sida ba’an ugu faafayo cudurka Coronavirus inay soo galaan dalka.

Qoraal kasoo baxay Hay’adda Duulista Rayidka Iyo Saadaasha Hawada Soomaaliya, oo ku taariikheysan 10-ka March ayaa lagu mamnuucay inay dalka Soomaaliya soo galaan dadka ka imanaya dalalka Shiinaha, Talyaaniga, Korea-da Koonfureed iyo Iran.

DF oo Ka Shiraysa Xayiraad Ay Ku Soo Rogto Kenya Iyo Itoobiya Oo Laga Helay Coronavirus

Mareeyaha hay’adda duulista rayidka Soomaaliya Axmed Macallin oo la hadlay laanta afka Soomaaliga ee VOA ayaa waxa uu sheegay in dowladda federaalka ah ay ka shirayso sidii xayiraad dhinaca duulimaadyada ah loogu soo rogi lahaa dowladaha deriska nala ah ee Kenya iyo Itoobiya oo iyagu laga helay kiisaskii ugu horeeyay ee xanuunka Coronavirus.

“Si joogta ah ayaan isha ugu heynaa, waxaan saacado ka hor la wadaageynay civil aviationka Kenya iyo kan Itoobiya, waddanka haddii hal kiis ama labo kiis laga helo ma ahan micnaheedu ma ahan in anagu aan xayiraadda is kala soo boodno, laakiin waxaan fiirinaynaa xadiga uu ku socdo kororka cudurkaasi, haddii uu xaddi sare ku socdo Notaamka aan diyuuradaha kula hadalno ayaa kordhinaynaa waddankaasina listiga ayaan ku darnaa, marka berri ayaan shir ka leenahay arrintaasi” ayuu yiri mareeyaha hay’adda duulista rayidka Soomaaliya Axmed Macallin.

Dhanka kale maareeyaha ayaa sheegay in Nootaamka ay diyaaradaha kula hadlaan ay la wadaagi doonaan in aysan soo qaadi Karin dadka taransitka ah islamarkaana wax ka yar 14 maalmood ka soo maqnaa dalalka ay xayiraadda saareen ee uu sida ba’an u saameeyay cudurka Coronavirus.

“24-kii saac ee la soo dhaafay Nootaamkii wax baan ka badalnay in daadkaas naftirkooda meel aan taransit point ahayn duyuuraddu ka soo qaadi Karin hadduu passapoorkiisa exist-ka ku dhegsan uu muujinaayo in 14 berri muddo ka yar uu moogyahay waddamada ay xayiraaddu saran tahay” ayuu hadalkiisa sii raaciyay maareeyaha.

Hadalka maareeyaha ayaa waxa uu ku soo aadaya xilli kiisaskii ugu horeeyay laga helay dalalka Kenya iyo Itoobiya oo deris la ah Soomaaliya.

Dowladda Soomaaliya oo mamnuucday dhammaan duulimaadyada caalmiga ah

Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa mamnuucday dhammaan duulimaadyada Caalmiga ah ee Soomaaliya iman jira

Dowladda Soomaaliya ayaa sheegtay in laga bilaabo marka la gaaro dhammaadka maalinta 18 bisha Maarso lix saac habeenimo la joojiyey dhammaan duulimaadyadii kasoo dagi jiray iyo kuwii ka duuli jiray dalka Soomaaliya.

Wasiirka Gadiidka iyo Duulista Hawada Soomaaliya Maxamed Cabdullaahi Salaad Oomaar ayaa sheegay inuu amarkaan soo baxay kadib markii uu kulan deg deg ah isugu yeeray Ra’isul wasaare Xasan Cali Kheyre.

Wasiir Oomaar ayaa sheegay in amarkaan lagu joojinayo duulimaayada Caalamiga ah uu ka dhaqan geli doono dhammaan dhulka Soomaaliya.

Wuxuu intaas ku daray inay Dowladda Soomaaliya fasixi doonto kaliya duulimaayada xagga bini’aadanimada iyo kuwa gargaarka.

Go’aankaan ayaa kusoo aadayo xilli Maanta Kiiskii ugu horreeyay ee Cudurka CoronaVirus  laga  helay magaalada Muqdisho ee Caasimada Soomaaliya.

Wasiirka caafimaadka Fowsiya Abiikar ayaa shaaca ka qaaday in kiiskan laga helay qof ka mid ah dadkii ka yimid dibedda ee lagu karantiilayey garoonka Muqdisho, ayada oo natiijada baaritaan lagu sameeyey ay soo baxday, islamarkaana xaqiijisay inuu qabo fayruska.

Wasiirka ma aysan shaacin dalka uu ka yimid qofkaas, hase yeeshee dadka lagu karantiilayey Muqdisho oo saddex qof ahaa ayaa horey loo sheegay inay ka yimaadeen dalka Shiinaha

Wasiirka ayaa shaaca ka qaadday in qofkan uu hadda wanaagsan yahay, islamarkaana uusan wax halis ah ku hayn muwaadiniinta kale, oo lagu hayo meel aysan dad kale u dhoweyn.

I agree.

A crisis should not go to waste. Use it for something good.

[Tillamook]

This is a load crap.

This purported ban is at best an ambitious propaganda and at worst the pointless shenanigans of a toothless administration. In any case this has nothing to do with what’s best for the Somali people.

Turkish Airlines suspends flights to Somalia

Turkish Airlines on Monday suspended its flights from Istanbul to Somalia after the Horn of African country confirmed its first case of coronavirus and took a similar suspension.

The flag carrier has suspended all flights to the capital Mogadishu for two weeks, said a statement by Turkey’s Embassy in Mogadishu.

“As part of the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak, the Somalia government reported that all international flights, including humanitarian flights, have been stopped for 15 days, starting Wednesday, March 18,” said the statement.

It added that Turkish Airlines “will suspend Mogadishu flights over the next 15 days, and the last scheduled flight to Istanbul will be held on the morning of March 17.”

Turkish airlines started regular service to Mogadishu in 2012.

Turkey is Somalia’s strongest ally and has spent over $1 billion on aid and infrastructure in Somalia since 2011. It also support Somalia’s National Army and has its largest embassy in the world in Mogadishu.

Tirada dadka ay DF Somalia u karantiishay CUDURKA Coronavirus oo korortay

Garoonka diyaaradaha Aadan Cadde ee magaalada Muqdisho waxaa maanta kasoo degay afar muwaadiniin Soomaali ah, kuwaas oo la sheegay inay ka yimaadeen dalka Talyaaniga oo ka mid ah dalalka uu sida weyn ugu faafay cudurka Coronavirus.

Muwaadiniintaan ayaa waxaa ay kamid ahaayeen askar leyli sarkaalnimo loogu diray dalka Talyaaniga, waxaana ay saarnaayeen diyaaradda Ethiopian Airlines duulimaadkeeda maanta ee Addis Ababa iyo Muqdisho.

Xubno ka mid ah Saraakiisha Wasaaradda Caafimaadka ee Xukuumadda Soomalaiya oo maalmahaan howlo shaqo ka wadey Garoonka ayaa la wareegay, waxaana lagu warramay in afartan qof la karantiiley.

Muwaadiniintan ayaa lagu hayn doonaa xarun ay diyaarisay Wasaaradda Caafimaadka muddo 14 maalmood, waxaana ay mari doonaan baaritaan caafimaad, markaasi oo kadib lasii dayn doono marka laga waayo Coronavirus. Horey waxaa loo hayey afar qof oo kale.

Wasaaradda caafimaadka Soomaaliya ayaa shalay ku dhowaaqday inay xaqiijisay kiiskii ugu horreeyey ee Coronavirus ah oo laga helo Soomaaliya, ayada oo laga helay qof ka yimid dalka dibeddiisa.

Qofkaasi ayaa muddo lagu karantiilayey garoonka Muqdisho, ka hor inta aan la xaqiijin in laga helay cudurka.

Si kastaba, dadkii diyaaradda la saarnaa qofkaas ayaan laga war-hayn xaaladooda, waxaana jirta cabsi ah in laga yaabo in qaarkood uu qaadsiiyey ka hor inta aan baaritaankiisa oo dibedda loo qaaday lasoo celin.

Si kale, dadka diyaaradda la saarnaa dadkii maanta la karantiilay ayaa iyagana gudaha u galay magaalada Muqdisho.

Si looga hortago arrimahan oo kale, islamarkaana loo yareeyo halista cudurka ayaa dowladda Soomaaliya waxay mamnuucday dhammaan duulimaadyada ka imanaya dalka dibeddiisa.

DF oo si aan shaacsaneyn go’aan uga gaartay qaadkii laga soo dhoofinayey Kenya

Dowlada federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa si aan shaacsaneyn oo dad-ban go’aan uga qaadatay qaadkii dalka soo gali jirey ee ka imaanayey dalka Kenya, isla markaana u joojisay.

Wasiirka gaadiidka iyo duulista Hawada Soomaaliya, Maxamed Cabdullaahi Oomaar ayaa shalay sheegay go’aan ka soo baxay kulan deg-deg ah oo uu Ra’iisal wasaare Kheyre iskugu yeeray, kaasi oo lagaga hortagayo fayruska Corona.

Wasiirka ayaa sheegay in gebi ahaanba la joojiyey Duulimaadyada caalamiga ah ee Soomaaliya iman jiray, marka la gaaro 18-bisha Maarso – Lix saac habeenimo.

Sidoo kale waxa uu xusay in duulimaadyada la joojiyey ay yihiin Xamuul iyo Rakaab labadoodaba, midaasi oo ka dhigeysa in Dowladdu ay go’aan dad-badan ka gaartay Qaadkii ay Kenya u soo dhoofin jirtay Soomaaliya.

Wasiir Oomaar ayaa waxa kale ee uu ka dhawaajiyey in Dowladdu ay fasixi doonto oo kaliya duulimaadyada xagga bini-aadanimada iyo kuwa gar-gaarka oo keliya.

Go’aanka lagu joojiyey Duulimaadyadaasi caalamiga ah ayaa ku soo beegmay xili isla shalay gudaha Soomaaliya, gaar ahaan magaalada Muqdisho laga helay Kiis la xiriira fayruska sida xawliga ah ugu faafaya dunida ee Corona.

Guddiga arrimaha bulshada Golaha shacabka ayaa Dowladda ka dalbaday in la joojiyo Qaadka Soomaaliya looga soo dhoofiyo dalka Kenya, oo uu ka dilaacay caabuqa Corona, midaasi oo u muuqata in si shaacsaneyn looga go’aan qaatay.

Wives rejoice and traders despair as Coronavirus halts khat supply to Somalia

(Reuters) - Before the coronavirus hit, Muna Nur Farah had started to hate her husband. He'd slink into their home in the Somali capital Mogadishu at 3:00am with empty pockets, his money squandered on the narcotic leaf khat.

That changed a little over a week ago, as the pandemic spread through East Africa. To curb the disease, the government banned international flights - including those importing khat from Kenya - depriving men like Farah's husband of the addictive drug.

"This week every day, he brings home money, vegetables, mangoes, meat, food," she said happily. "I love him now. Life is superb."

Some Somalis, especially women and children, say coronavirus handed them an unexpected boon through the ban on khat flights.

"Women say a man who chews khat has another wife - called khat," Farah's husband, Abdullahi Ahmed said. "It is true."

More than 10 million people globally use khat, according to the Kenya Medical Research Institute. In Somalia, men gather in groups to chat and chew the leaf, a mild stimulant, into the early hours.

Kenya exports about 50 tonnes of khat to Somalia daily, said Kimathi Munjuri, the chairman of Kenya's largest khat trade association. Khat is sold to Somalia - which is mostly too hot and dry to grow the water-intensive crop - at $5 a kilo, making Kenyan growers around $250,000 a day.

"Now we're not able to ship anything," he said. "We are looking at a total devastation."

Importers sell to dealers in the 'khat garden' - Mogadishu's typically busy khat market. Now it's deserted apart from boys playing football and soldiers comparing guns.

Bunow Hussein Aden, 60, is the market's chief cleaner, but now there's no one to pay him his daily fee of $15 so he is just lying on a polythene sack as litter blows past.

"I have not received a coin since khat was banned," he complained. "I just see people I know, ask them for few dollars."

Khat is highly perishable. It's usually driven from airfield to market at breakneck speed. Some khat sellers like Sabir Mohamed Shiqalow have started shipping the leaf in, but prices have shot up: a kilo worth $20 before coronavirus now fetches $200 to $300.

Shiqalow, an enterprising 21-year-old, has been selling khat half his life. Now he and other sellers go to the beach nightly with two dozen well-armed private guards to collect their slightly withered haul. One night last week, the guards repelled a group of soldiers trying to steal their shipment. Shiqalow hopes things will settle down soon.

"Khat is my only source of income," he explained.

In Farah's household, the women pray the ban stays.

"Now we get meat, food and money. Thank you, coronavirus!" said Sumeya Nur Farah, Muna's 9-year-old sister.

"But do not kill us please," she said, addressing the virus.

Even Farah's father Mohamed Nur Farah has stopped chewing, after 20 years. He's spending time with his family instead - to general astonishment.

"I am helping my wife in cooking," he said proudly. "I never helped her in household chores before."

Who is being affected if you stop it completely.

You cannot stop by police or law anything like this. America tried with Alcohol, Cannabis..etc nothing works, except wasted money and time and broken families and corrupted police.
Saudi Arabia does not officially allow sale or use of alcohol, but there is some years where alcohol is consumed there more than Scandinavian countries.


Affected among Somalis:

1. Addicts
2. Tea houses where sold and consumed
3. Dealers
4. Transport and handlers

No. 1 will be least resisting. They feel guilty as it is to their family and even state.
N0.2 will immediately go underground, buy some police and get protection
No. 3 will corrupt the police and army
No.4 will go underground and increase the cost

MMA,

I agree flights which can be easily controlled need to be stopped.

The rest I would say study what happens in Xabeshi land. Ethiopia is biggest producer, but least consummer. How did this happen?

1. Some places its culturally unacceptable and not tolerated. Men who use it are considered low and looked upon with some despise. Women who use in these areas are divorced, considered bad and almost ostracized.
2. Dealers want to export it so they sell at a high price in Ethiopia, but lower in other places for hard currency and money transferring.
3. Farmers sell to dealers, since dealers guarantee them, therefore not sold locally.
4. Elders and Religious leaders and U lemma condemn it and also in elementary schools is openly mentioned as something bad.

Compare the fact that Khat is more grown, traded, handled around Dirdhaba and Harer. This is areas where Somali is majority by far. Yet the consumption is very low compared to Somalis far away.


Banning has its limits, and is most destructive by creating mafia, corruption and illegal activities.

Sh25m miraa haul torched in Lamu

Kenya Navy soldiers patrolling Lamu's Indian Ocean waters have intercepted two boats ferrying a consignment of miraa estimated to be worth about Sh25 million.

The boats carrying the khat were headed to Somalia before they were nabbed on Tuesday evening at Barakuda area, about 100 kilometres from Lamu Island.

Confirming the incident, Lamu County Commissioner Irungu Macharia said the soldiers handed over the sacks of miraa to Kenya Coast Guard officials who then ferried it to Manda Ras Kitau beach where the entire consignment was torched.

“The culprits claimed they were transporting the herbs to Kiunga Town which is on the border of Lamu with Somalia. But we’re aware of their secret businesses of ferrying it into Somalia...People should know that we have an active ban on miraa across Lamu County as we try to curb the spread of coronavirus to this region,” said Mr Macharia.

He said the miraa ban in Lamu will be in place until Covid-19 is eliminated from the country.

Gobolka Meru ee Kenya oo faqri galay, kadib markii la joojiyey qaadkii Soomaaliya

Gobolka Mero ee dalka Kenya oo Qaadka looga soo dhoofin jiray Soomaaliya ayaa faqri xoogan lugaha la galay, tan iyo markii ay dowladda federaalka ay joojisay qaadkii Soomaaliya uga imaan jiray dhinaca dalka dalka Kenya.

Ganacsatada Qaadka iyo Beeraleyda Meru oo dhigay dibadbax ballaaran ayaa waxa ay uga soo horjeesteen xayiraada saaran Qaadka ay Soomaaliya u soo dhoofin jireen oo la joojiyey, tan iyo markii uu dilaacay cudurka Coronavirus oo fara ba’an ku haya labda dal.

Sidoo kale ganacsatada ayaa KA dalbaday dowladooda inay wax ka qabato arrintaasi, iyagoo sheegay in Qaadka la’aantiisa magaaladoodu ay ku noolaan doonto faqri xun.

Qaar ka mid ah ganacsatada oo la hadlay warbaahinta gudaha ayaa sidoo kale tilmaamay inuu istaagay ganacsigii Qaadka ee xaafadda Islii oo ay Soomalida ay ku badan tahay, kadib markii lagu soo rogay banow saameeyey isku socodka xaafaddaasi.

Ugu damgbeyn isbahaysiga ganacsatada daroogada, beeralleyda, ururada ganacsatada iyo kooxaha diimaha ee wadanka Kenya ayaa waxa ay u ololeynayaan inay ku guuleystaan dhoofinta alaabada ay ka mid yihiin Qaadka ee loo soo gudbiyo Soomaaliya.

Dowladda Kenya ayaa lacag fara badan waxa uu ka soo galaa Qaadka ay u soo dhoofiso Soomaaliya, waxaana garoonka diyaaradaha Aadan Cadde ee magaalada Muqdisho ka soo dagi jiray maalin walba diyaarado sida Qaad fara badan oo laga keenayey gudaha dalkaasi.
