Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 10, 2011 Peasant, wali sidii iyo si ka daran waaye. Siyaasadii ayaa masaajidada lasoo giliye, inta kaliya ma'ahee waa meel walba Soomaalida joogto toogtaan. _______________ Today's blog: Guryaha ijaarka iyo Islii Dadka see ugu noolyihiin Islii hadba waxee ku xirantahay hadba suu qofka u ladanyahay ama wax soo saarkiisa ganacsi u sareeyo ama sida reerkiisa dadalka Galbeedka ku maqan u biilaan. Guryaha Islii, which are mostly aparment flats and single-floor lodges, ijaarkooda aad iyo aad u qaalisanyahay. Si aadna waa ugu qaalisanyahay guryaha kale Nayroobi ku yaalo ijaarkooda. The newly built apartments waa qaali dadka badanaa u dhawaan karin, thus a single flat that consists of two bedrooms and a living room waxaa lagu deganyahay dadka qaarkood one to three families, some waa iskaabulo, gabdho iyo wiilalba, oo qol qol lagu share gareeyaa. Average newly built apartment goes between 24,000 to 30,000 (around $300 to $400). Marka qof ama reer xataa loo soo diro $500 a month cannot afford to live in comfort of one full apartment alone. To live in full comfort, a family would need no less than $800 per month, as our family spends minimum. And we are not that many and don’t’ have children living with us. We consist shan qof, waalidka, wiil nala joogo iyo gabadha naga caawiso wax karinta. And yet we spend around $800 a month minimum, some months more than $1,000. In a rarity in Islii, we don’t sub-rent our flat, the five of us live in our apartment, with qolka fadhiga ah la seexan oo fadhi yaalo. But that is not the reality for the vast struggling majority in Islii. Some families live in single sub-rented rooms that cost between $100 to $150. Also Kenyaatiga iyo Soomaali islama degano. All apartments and lodges within boundary of Islii Soomaali wada degan. Even if a Kenyaati wants to live, he cannot afford it. Aad iyo aad u yaabaan how expensive and high the rent is markii loo sheego. Ijaarka central Islii wuu ka qaalisanyahay kan ka baxsan outside central Islii. Islii has three official sections, called Section I, Section II and Section III. The then colonial government set this boundary. Most Soomaalis live in Section II. Those famous streets of 6th Street, 7th Street to 12th Street are all within the boundary of Section II. The further you leave from the boundary of Section II on either side, the cheaper the rent gets and the higher insecurity becomes with ghetto xaafado. Because Kenyaatiga xaafadahooda u dhawaanee, tuugo wada miiran ahna. So Soomaalida badankood waxee iskugu tageen to xaafadaha u dhaxeeyo 4th Street to 12th Street maadaama amaankooda ka sareeyo xaafadaha ka baxsan jidadkaan kor ku sheegay. Xaafadaha kuwaa ka baxsan Soomaalida degana habeenkii ma socon karaan, the moment qoraxda dhacdo iyagana wey hoydaan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Som@li Posted March 11, 2011 I think MMA is not giving us the whole picture? This is the Eastleigh I knew Nairobi City Council to Invest Sh5 bn in Eastleigh Infrastructure Residents of Eastleigh walk past one of the many roadside dump's in the disctrict - Photo HOL Thursday, March 10, 2011 By Hiiraan Online Staff Reporter Mohamed Mohamud Gutale, Organizing Secretary of the EBDA Nairobi – (HOL) - The Eastleigh Business District Association (EBDA) met with representatives from the Nairobi City council Thursday at the Nomad Palace in Eastleigh to discuss how they can share the tax revenue collected in Eastleigh. The EBDA is an organization that looks after the commercial interests of Eastleigh business – from small street vendors to the larger hotels, shops and restaurants that seem to be sprouting up over Eastleigh overnight. They maintain that there is a stark contrast between the amount of tax revenue collected from Eastleigh business and the amount of municipal services they receive in return. Mohamed Mohamud Gutale, the organizing secretary of the EBDA voiced his concerns to Hiiraan Online. “There is a lack of investment on the city’s part in terms of infrastructure. Eastleigh has a colonial sewage system that was built in 1936 with little or no repairs or innovations.” He added that “The garbage is littered on the streets, the roads cannot handle the influx of vehicles and heavy trucks, and to make matters worse we don’t have street lights.” The meeting was attended by several officials from the City council including the town clerk, city councilors, environmental officers and city engineers; some of whom have never even been to Eastleigh before this meeting. The EBDA has told us that they have made a tentative agreement with the city council and that it promises to look into their grievances. They have said that they’ve been told to expect immediate results as early as 4 months from now and that there will be a Sh5 bn investment in Eastleigh’s infrastructure. The lack of municipal oversight and involvement has led to the building of several poorly planned or outright illegal buildings. The city council explained that many of the buildings in Eastleigh go against zoning laws and have not been approved by city planners. They have promised to further investigate this issue and if warranted those buildings could potentially be demolished. In June of last year, a Kenyan High Court ruled that the City Council is barred from collecting taxes from over 3000 traders in Eastleigh for not offering municipal services. Eastleigh is an eastern suburb of Nairobi that is predominantly inhabited by Somali immigrants; it has been affectionately dubbed as “Little Mogadishu”. Economic pundits estimate that the business generated in Eastleigh runs into the billions of shillings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
