A.J. Timacaddeh Posted June 29, 2003 lol@gediid what people dont seem to understand is that this has got nothing to do with politics. its a calendar and that's what it would have stayed had the somaliweyn activists not made it look otherwise. to them it's a piece of somaliland propaganda. gediid, your example at the end of your posting says it all. if barakaat had not included the 18th of may celebrations in their calendar you would not see somalilanders complain about it would you? come on guys get a life man and stop bickering about every single detail like old ladies.

Haashim Posted June 29, 2003 If this action is true it could be one or more of these possibilities. a. first possibility is that (as we hear from some sick qabiilists) this date (1st Julay) is the date that our turmoil has began (they refer the unity). b. or as some say here it's the independence day of another country and why should we celebrate the independence day of another country? of course i don't care the independence day of the Gambia for example. c. or as some say here the man is already a millionaire he is not worried about a few more dollars from mugdisho becuase if he did he wouldnt have done it. :mad: d. it could be pressure from the adminstration in Hargeysa to exclude this date from the public holidays for well-known resons. :eek: unless you agree with these suggestions, I think it's not wrong to boycott this company except last possibility which is also very weak excuss, because thge man can lobby the adminstration there to leave him alone and his business. So i wouldn't surprise if many Somali people boycott him for this reason, because even though the South warlords and gangs detriorated our reputution there are still there are many PURE SOMALIS everywhere in SOMALILND (from Garrisa to Jigjiga to Ras Xafun).

A.J. Timacaddeh Posted June 29, 2003 muraad this has nothing to do with the somaliland government. this is something that dahabshiil has done probably because of his nationalistic thinking. if he feels strongly about somaliland let him. and i dont think boycotting his dahabshiil will make him change his mind either Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gediid Posted June 29, 2003 Muraad you forgot this E)Knowing Dahabshiil has local reps in every city,then its not wrong to assume that the calender was printed in Mogadisho and could be some poor dude in Xamar forgot about his own independence day.

mojam Posted June 29, 2003 definately a BAD move, especially in these times of uncertainty as to whether the somali nation will split up or stay united ... but one suggestion for dhiigshiil though, why not make the 26th of june a holiday in the north and keep july 1st as a holiday in the south... or make both days a holiday. in my opinion both days should be a holiday in all of somalia whether one country or more!

N.O.R.F Posted June 29, 2003 its independence day, business will be brisk, money exchanging hands, if the Deegshil office(s) close for the day, they will be the only business closed!!!! Can u picture every business in Xamar closed for the day cos its independence day? Nah didnt think so! Do these businesses close in other days of celebraion, like eid, course not, so why for July 1st? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
