Old_Observer Posted March 22, 2020 How are Somalis coping or conducting themselves, especially from the big centers of diaspora like UK, Canada, USA, Turkey, Australia..etc. How are Somalis doing in the different regions and countries of the HoA? There is not much Somalis can do or affect the big gamers like China, USA, Russia, Britain...etc There is not much Somalis can do about countries in HoA, for the simple reason that most Somalis were not close to the one Somali head of state in the HoA, Ghelleh. Farmaajo, Bixi, Cagjar..etc are not worthy of considering for this case and situation. To citizens of SOL republic: I am not putting down your local heroes and greatest leaders. My reasons are not political, but as follows: Bixi may be doing best things as he can, but does not have the infrastructure to be able to help Kililka or others. Farmaajo is out of consideration for this purpose since he does not control security and defense which is critical when you have disease that can bring chaos Cagjar has been doing all the wrong things, being focused in the promise Amxara gave him to be considered for PM of Ethiopia. Example there was food storage program started by Illey to build storages first dividing Kililka to 3-4 regions for thiis purpose and build the infrastructure. Nothing has continued since Cagjar came. Everything is fozen where Illey was removed. The same with water storage and micro dams. There fore he is out in Kililka let alone to help other Somalis. ...etc. No intension to make things political, but only Tendency, current status and capacity were considered. The Only Somali who has influence internationally, influence in the region HoA, connection to all Somalis...is Ghelleh. He has the capacity to ask Saudi Arabia to help pay for some of the necessary test and medicines for all Somalis. Bixi maybe able to do it with UAE but will be for Somaliland alone if he succeeds. Ghelleh can provide people trained in this situation. He can take Somalis from every region including NFD and get them trained by Chinese in Djibouti, for little to nothing cost. I hope Somali doctors and health professionals, thousands of them everywhere in the world, are getting together and thinking about this. Its good to see a Somali doctor helping people in Afghanistan or Asia for UN or WHO or other agencies, but would be great if he can at least pass the information to any Somali region. How are you coping, where ever you are? Please share what you observe, what you experience..etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the fact remains that I did “contribute” a question to this discussion. I wonder why are you unable to share with us how your Tigray countrymen and women are dealing/ coping with COVID19 pandemic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 25, 2020 So far what is known of Soomaali diaspora is six Soomaalis have passed away in Stockholm due coronavirus. A few others have tested positive. Another Soomaali diaspora, a famous former player of Soomaali national team, passed away in London due to Covid-19. There are a few cases in Germany, too.
