This is why you argument is flawed Nassir, you are blaming only piracy for being the "killer of your development." Yet the article you produce from horn relief specifically says this as another reason why they cannot continue the project! You only highlight a portion of the article but not the very next paragraph....unbelievable!

 

Furthermore, the increased kidnapping of internationals in Sanaag region and Somalia in general will not allow us to send international staff, including engineers and contractors, to Laas Qoray.

Therefore, because of the increased piracy activities, the kidnapping of internationals in Somalia and the insecure environment in our project location especially for our international engineers and other staff working on the jetty plus the

general insecurity in Laas Qoray

and Somalia

So although Piracy is mentioned as a reason, the fact that Laasqoray has constant kidnappings and other insecurity, professionals and experts cannot be sent there according to your link.

 

In Gaalkayo they have doctors that are taking care of the sick, why? Because they have worked hard on security, they dont find excuses and blame others.

Spot on.

"...however, a number of impediments

in particular,

the worsening piracy situation on the Gulf of Aden and the rest of Somalia, are making our fundraising for further essential funds more challenging as donors see investing in Laas Qoray and the jetty as partial support of pirates."

 

From the Press Release by Degan Ali

Mr. Thankful, an avid reader does not disappoint others, but let me point out again the main reason why this essential project has failed. The bold-highlighted "In particular" above, is the key phrase that you should have paid close attention. It separates the wheat from the chaff or the core info from supplemantary ones.

The organization had already done an environmental feasibility study on security and other factors. The feasibility results were positive. These studies were carried out long before the rise of piracy in Puntland and its cascading effect on the whole northern Somalia. The clues given in this press release is that the donors have reneged on their pledges, that investing in Laas Qoray means to them helping pirates in the region. Far from it, if they were genuine about their promisory assistance, the conditions that create piracy would have been reversed and more jobs and opportunities for the communities in Sanaag and Sool Regions would have been a reality by today.

 

The Insecurity index ratio of Galk'ayo is too high and borders on a war zone. For you to compare it to the peaceful town of Laas Qoray only proves your disingenuity. Again, Piracy has been the main excuse given by the so called Western donors of Somalia. My belief is that the old management of HR& D led by Fatima had lost an earlier opportunity when special interest businesses approached it and offered their investment. The new management is even worse and there is growing sentiment by the public that it does not serve the best interest of the community.

I think that is an honest statement. We should have established Maakhir State long ago. You can't implement developmental projects when your region is disputed by two hostile, clan-inspired, self-declared states. There has to be some Power in the region. Gen. Ilka-jir has failed his people.

Nassir, the article you posted from Horn Relief does not back up your claim that Laasqoray is a peaceful city. It's not my personal opinion, but your article. It specifically says that the engineers and other staff cannot be sent to Sanaag because of insecurity! Again that is what you posted. It says specifically the "general insecurity in Laasqoray."

 

Furthermore, the increased kidnapping of internationals in Sanaag region and Somalia in general will not allow us to send international staff, including engineers and contractors, to Laas Qoray. Therefore, because of the increased piracy activities, the kidnapping of internationals in Somalia and the insecure environment in our project location especially for our international engineers and other staff working on the jetty plus the general insecurity in Laas Qoray

Second, you are said piracy is the killer, but that is not true! Because, with or without piracy, the situation on land is too dangerous according to your report! If people are being kidnapped in Laasqoray then how can you send experts there to over see this project?

 

Like I just said, forget about what is going on in in the sea, the horn relief article does not support your claim that Laasoray is safe enough to invest!

[Somalina]

Go Nassir! your community (Somali) appreciates you a lot.

^^and you wanna make us beleive Barahlay is more peaceful than Laasqoray? get life you naive little pirate boy!

Adeer again dont get angry for no reason, Baraxlay district, is not even part of the issue here, nor is it part of Puntland State. If you are talking about Galkacyo there is no comparison, since its the second largest city in all of Puntland and a city which two of the toughest and most well armed communities in all of Somalia reside together.

 

Now faduma Jibril did well, and should not be attacked in any way for her effort.

Nassir

I can understand you blaming Puntland for the piracy-related insecurities, but why are you blaming SL as well when the report says;

 

We have also listed a number of achievements which we feel we should share with you and these include:

• Written support for constructing a jetty from the Somaliland and Puntland Government;
