Gabbal Posted September 19, 2012 Reer Nuur Bidaar are indeed a distinguished lot, but are you mistaking Dr Bashiir Nuur Bidaar with Dr Abdisamed Nuur Bidaar? According to my sources, Dr Bashiir Nuur Bidaar is very much high in the list of potential premier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Lily- Posted September 19, 2012 Sophist thanks for that. We know from past experience no amount of education eradicates tribalism and corruption, so it will be their integrity, honesty, and fair dealings which will really matter, not that I am saying they don’t possess these qualities (Allah knows best) but we Somalis just love to over emphasise education like it’s the holy grail. Not to mention for a Somali man of their age education was by chance for the majority and not necessarily an opportunity that was extended to all. What I would really like to know is who these men ARE, but I guess we’ll know if and when one of them is appointed. How much time have they spent inside Somalia in the last 2 decades? I am a bit concerned about these exported diaspora politicians who have no real networks and insight on the ground which makes their jobs much harder afterwards as you need these networks and the know-how to work effectively. So I am asking you as you seem to be in the know how. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember correctly, there was a forum mujaahid… Adam-something-Jungle, who wasn’t able to keep his emotions in-check & you kept on pushing, giving him kick-in-the-teeth until he lost it all, and got banned for it.
