money Posted August 27, 2012 so far there are total number of the Women MPs is 35 out of 275 = 13% (rounded) - not even have the 30% quota Here's a breakdown chart along clan lines. This chart is based on the latest released list of the MPs (255) and can change within coming days. 5th Amalgamation: women MPs = 5 --- 16% (rounded) - not bad Biibi Khaliif Maxamed Fahmo Axmed Nuur Khadiija Maxamed Diiriye Maryan Aweys Jama Saaqa Aden Mohamed D&M women MPs = 6 ---- 10% (rounded) - they could've done better than this Dr. Muumino Sh. Cumar Fadumo Nuur Maxamed Fowziya Maxamed Sheekh Luul Cabdi Aadan Maryan Macalin ***** Xabiibo Maxamed Kheyr D&M have 4 remaining seats to fill and none is expected to be for women DD Block Women MPs = 3 --- 5% (rounded) very disappointing - there are 2 remaining seats for the clan - and it is unlikely these seats would be given to women Saado Cali Warsame ( legendary and sometimes controversial singer) Sacdiya Careys Ciise ( daughter of the great Saar poet/meastro Careys Ciise Kaarshe (AUN) Sahra Jama Ali DR-Block Women MPs = 10 --- 16% (rounded) - a good start Aamino Cumar Jaamac Busharo Cabdi Diriye Caashakoos Maxamuud Cumar Cadar Abdi warsame ***** Duniya Maxamed Cali Faaduma Xasan Cali Faduma Odowa Rageh Khadra Ahmed Ibrahim Sahro C/qadir C/raxman Saynab Maxamed Caamir The clan has 4 seats to fill and it's unlikely that for women to get any. H block Women Mps = 11 --- 18% - a good start Amina Mohamed Abdi Caasha Xaaji Cilmi Jawahir Axmed Cilmi Maryan Cariif Qaasim Naciimo Maxamed Gacal Nadifo Maxamed Osman Qaali Axmed Diiriye Sacdiyo Cumar Sheegow Samira Xasan Cabdulle Ubax Tahliil Warsame Xalimo Xasan Cumar H-Block have 8 remaining seats to fill. It is expected at least 1 seat would be a women which could increase the quota within the block to 20% but would not have any significant changes on the overall women representation in the parliament.

Abwaan Posted August 27, 2012 money, thanks for taking the time to do a summary on this. I still think that clans should be asked to complete the 30% share for women. Women should get their complete share of the MPs, period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Che -Guevara Posted August 27, 2012 lol@fight....how Somali of you. Insults don't leave much room for dialogue or improvement. And to say Somalis consider their women property is dead wrong. And your comment absolves of you of any responsibility and simply blames everyone else. Perhaps, it doesn't occur to you a society is sum of individuals with diverse thoughts and aspirations. I wonder how many men on SOL considers the women in their lives property or how many women consider themselves to be a man's property? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Che -Guevara Posted August 27, 2012 Apophis...Perhaps we should ask Somali women how they feel about this. Let's hope properties have mind of their own. Who's average Somali man? Habo...the sad thing is when such sweeping generalizations are made about other societies, some here would admonish you but the same respect is given to their kind.

Malika Posted August 27, 2012 ^Hey Habo - Belated Eid Mubarak. What is sadder is as soon as a Somali learns to read or write markasii buu dadkisaa kuu soo jeesada with all sort of nacnac - tragic indeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malika Posted August 27, 2012 ^Dear, women have got along way to change how men see us - iska daa a failed state reinstating itself with few women here or there as law maker - what about the likes of USA with few women senators even though it claims to be 'champion of democracy'..blah blah So the likes of Apophis are in right to think 'women are just property' without any mind of their own..Women need to start seeing themselves as leaders/politicians/law makers and deman their fair share wherever they are.

Blessed Posted August 27, 2012 It's actually not that bad (best representation Somali women had so far) and it's most certainly not the end, judging from news conferences these ladies mean business and will be making history, I'A. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
