AWDALNEWS EDITORIAL= "The second blow came from Puntland whose Machiavellian warlord had first played the tribal card to dismember Somaliland and throw its territorial integrity into a perpetual doubt. With Abdillahi Yusuf Ahmed now buoyant with his newfound power and international recognition as the leader of Somalia, there is no doubt that he will make his priority to stymie Somaliland’s ambition for nationhood. The establishment of the Horn of African Free Zone (HAFZA) in Puntland is a step to tighten the noose on Somaliland’s dying economy and force it to fall into Ahmed’s lap like a ripen fruit.........."

The first blow came from Djibouti, which has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia to be the gateway for the exports of livestock coming from Somaliland. It also handed over its customs and ports to the Emirate of Dubai to develop and manage them in an attempt to acquire ultra-modern equipment and implement advanced IT infrastructure solutions, thus eclipsing Berbera’s role as a potential rival the same way that Djibouti had eclipsed the flourishing port of Zeila in the early 20th century

All this wheeling and dealing is taking place while Somalilanders are engaged in a mudslinging and cutthroat political squabble on the leadership of a hungry nation. It is no wonder that many of the Somaliland people who in the very recent past couldn’t stomach to hear the name Somalia or Mogadishu have to follow with unprecedented enthusiasm the developments of the Somali government formed in Nairobi.

 

After living almost a decade and a half in the political twilight, Somalilanders are not only demoralized and beaten by the travails of finding their daily bread, but some of them have started to question about the viability of issues that they felt were so sacrosanct to even think about questioning them. If the conversation of Somalilanders in the coffee shops and their rush to meeting delegations of the newly formed Somali government could be taken as any measure, one can notice a change of tone and a softening of the position of the most die-hard Somalilanders towards any reference of association of their country with Somalia.

however, Hargeisa and all other Somaliland towns for that matter have no town planning, no roads, no services, no sewage system, no water supply, no reliable electricity, no health services and no source of income with 90% or more of the community relying on assistance from relatives in the diaspora and the whole able-bodied population unemployed with no hope of economic or political salvation in sight. AwdalNews Editorial.

 

 

I wonder why there is less concern for this deteriorating infrastracture? Is there a corruption or mismanagement on the side of Hargeisa administration to confront these problems or they just are waiting others to come and help maintain their roads and sewage system? I wonder?

This is good

finally there is self reflection and

critizism.

 

This however does not mean that Somaliland

will just wither away and die,

its the opposite.

 

If we can come this far with an unbelievably corrupt and disfunctional governemnt,

imagine what can be done with a half decent

average government.

 

the greater the challenge, the greater the glory
