Mayor of Burco - A man with a mission for a neglected Somali city

[miles-militis]

This young man not only understands his responsibilities quite well, needs of his constituencies, but also what is being required in terms of public service and how to work with whatever mere resources at his disposal. May we sire many more Somalis sons and daughters like him!

 

Best of luck!

Burco Somaliland.

[AYOUB]

Cheers for that Samurai, good story and deserved better headline than that . The story about Puntland refugees reluctant to go home got a 'booming economy' headline and the wonderful achievements of people of Burco gets 'neglected Somali city' headline, whats the world comming to? :rolleyes:

[miles-militis]

Ayoub_Sheikh – sure my man. Any good news for the old country is always desirable.

 

As to your query, the only difference is that Burco, once the commercial hub for the whole of Somalia, [pre-civil war Somalia] with its infrastructure and a population to match has been neglected by the successive, one-city type administrations of Somaliland. The city almost fell off the geographical map of the area. Tragic as it may, its sons and daughters abandoned the city for the cosy lifestyle in Hargeysa only to be resuscitated by the new mayor (5 month’s tenure) in 2003. This is an indicator as to how the will of the people, or a man for that matter, could bring about a deservedly, though overdue, sense of accomplishment, self-reliance and societal development in all aspects. A testimony, if you will that the pro-secessionist camp have not the faintest idea as to adverse, lasting repercussions of the object of their desire: the untenable jewel.

 

The underlining rationale for the headline is to stir the city’s sons and daughter (Oodweyne, Mystery, Angel-Dust and the likes) from their whimsical deep-stupor, and to talk some sense into their shell-like skulls delusional in nature and to highlight that once the dhow hits the rock, the oceanic waters sinking all aboard discriminates NOT its commuters.

[Mystery]

Samaria Worrier and SmithNWestern,

 

I didn’t know that you gentlemen dream eat and sleep with our names. I am really flattered by the profound way we had an impact on you guys.

Mystery I hope that answers your query about the modern history of Somalia.

As ever when there are well structured arguments backed with facts including dates of vents location and personalities we get silence, I hope that Mystery, Ayoub shiekh Miss Angel Dust and Oodweyn do not follow that path.

As to the above comment made by SNW about Bari_Nomad’s account of the Somaliland civil war, even if he presents it as a fictional transcript to Hollywood director, it wouldn’t sell.

 

As to your attempt to try to create division amongst the brothers and sisters from Hargeisa and Burco, let me assure you that you will not succeed. From your cleverly chosen title, which Ayub Shiekh pointed out clearly we can read between the lines and see your hidden agenda as it's transparent.

 

May Allah Protect Somaliland and its people from the evil whisperers. Ameen

[India]

Samuria,

 

Is this how desperate you are getting?

 

I am a Burcawiyad But I love Hargaisa and indeed all of Somaliland equally.

 

Your ill attempts to taint Somaliland have made you infamous and now you are trying to distort reality again to create amonisty between the regions and it is people. NOT GONNA WORK MATE-SORRY.WE LOVE EACH OTHER-SOMTHING (LOVE) YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF

 

 

Samuria---what in gods name feeds your hate of Somaliland?

 

There is a arabic saying that says "AL Hasad ma yaflah" .

 

Once Hargiesa is in full swing all efforts will turn to burco, erigavo , berber, las anod all around Somaliland. Cappichi Senior.

 

Dusty.

[guraad]

Listen we dont need you so stop crying for us like child with out mother .we will never leave our great somalia and our somali brothers/sisters . SO YOU CAN GO I HEAD ALONE WITH YOUR SEPARATE COUNTRY WITH ONE TRIBE . WE ARE NOT PART OF IT.

 

modern SOMALILAND= BURCO , BERBERA AND HERGAYSA. SO STOP CLAIMING OUR CITIES THAT IS PART OF PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA.

[India]

Guraad,

 

You are ALL welcome to be part of Somalia however, rest assure Somaliland's land will stay intact. So the choice is your leave and close the door behind you.

 

Please cry--there is hardly anything to carry for sxb!

[Mystery]

guraad,

You sure you want to be part of Somalia?

 

No we as people of SSH are not part of separatest one-tribe called somaliland , we are part of PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA

You posted the below article, which demonstrated how much you are so loved and welcomed in Somalia.

 

Muqdisho, (AllPuntland) -

Qarax wayn ayaa caawa laga maqlay Hotel Saxafi

oo ku yaala Muqdisho halkaas

oo ay dagan yihiin guddiga sahanka hub ka dhigista Soomaaliya ee ka socda Midowga Africa

......Lama yaqaan cidda ka dambeysa, waxaase jirtey waraaqo digniin ah oo Arbacadii lagu daadshay Muqdisho kuwaas oo loogu digayo guddigaasi inay magaalada isaga baxaan.

Waxaa waraaqahaas digniinta ahaa, lagu sheegey in guddigaani u shaqaynayaan Puntland

.

Boy, someone is having identity crises.

[AYOUB]

Mystery, looks like we are not the only ones who see through the 'patriotic' scroungers from the barren lands of north-east Somalia. Boy oh boy, where are they gonna go now?

[BN]

You guys actually talk like "somaliladn" is a seperate country. ITS NOT. SS&H are a part of NE Somalia; socially, ethnically, politically, and economically. Which is a part of Somalia. If you guys want to declare hargeisa-berbera a state--by all means go ahead. That's all "Somaliland" is. Togdheer and East are with their brothers in East/Central/South Somalia. And no amount of bribing, or dreaming on SOL is gonna change that.

[guraad]

Angel-Dust ,

 

Are u asking me to leave my land? LOL. bring youR A$$ here and show me how Her(GAY)ysa will make me leave my land.

Somaliland ? OVER MY DEAD BODY . KEEP ON DREAMING.

 

We dont need you so please keep ss&h off your mouth.
