Shirkadda Somcable oo Soo Bandhigtay Qaabka Ay Dalka U Keeni Doonto Xadhigga Isgaadhsiinta Badda Hoos marta, iyo Dhaqaalaha ku Baxaya

 

Hargeysa- Shirkadda Somcable ee uu dhawaan Madaxweynaha Somaliland Md. Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud (Siilaanyo) siiyey ruqsada ogolaanshaha xadhkaha Isgaadhsiinta Badda la hoos mariyo ee loo yaqaan (Fiber Optic), ayaa shalay soo bandhigtay qaabdhismeedka iyo faa’iidooyinka uu leeyahay mashruucan ay dalka ku keenayso xadhigga Badda hoos mara.

Munaasibad balaadhan oo ay ka soo qayb galeen Shirguddoonka labada Gole Baarlamaan (Guurtida iyo Wakiillada), masuuliyiin ka kala socotay saddexda Xisbi Qaran, Raxan Wasiirro ah oo uu hoggaminayey Wasiirka Boosaha iyo Isgaadhsiinta Somaliland, Masuuliyiin kale oo Xukuumadda ka socday, Ganacsato badan, Aqoonyahaniin iyo marti sharaf aad u tiro badan oo shalay lagu qabtay Huteel Maan-soor ee magaalada Hargaysa, ayey shirkada Somcable ku soo bandhigtay qaab-dhismeedka shirkaddu ay u keenayso dalka xadhigga Cable-ka Fiber Optic-ga iyo faa’iidooyinka uu u leeyahay bulshada Somalialand. Madaxa horumarinta Ganacsiga ee shirkadda Somcable Eng. Yuusuf Xuseen Cabdalle, ayaa warbixin uu halkaa ka jeediyey kaga warramay habka ay Shirkadda Somcable u hawlgalayso iyo kharashka ku baxaya abuuriddeeda.

Waxaanu Eng. Yuusuf oo arrimahaa ka hadlayaa yidhi; “Faa’iidooyinka ay Somcable soo galinayso dalka waxa ka mid ah, kobcinta dhaqaalaha oo ay si toos ah u maalgelin doonto Somcable, lacag aad u badan ayuu mashruucan qiimihiisu yahay oo gaadhaysa 40 milyan oo doolar 80% lacagtaasi waxay gali doontaa dalka guddihiisa. Waxa ka dhalanaya sannad iyo badhka uu dhisku socdo shaqooyin aad u badan.” “Waxaannu keeni doonaa farsamoyinkii u dambeeyey ee dhinaca tiknoolajiyadda, farsamo yaqaaniinta ka shaqayn doonaana waxay joogaan dalka oo ardayda jaamacadaha ee IT-ga ee aan jaaniska u helin inay ku shaqaystaan oo 90% ay maanta dalka joogaan, ayaa ka shaqayn doona.” ayuu hadalkiisa raaciyey Eng. Yuusuf Xuseen.

Mar uu Eng. Yuusuf Xuseen Cabdalle ka hadlay doorka ay dawladdu ku yeelanayso Shirkaddaas iyo sida ay adeegyadooda u qaybinayaan, waxa uu yidhi; “Dawladu waxay ku yeelanaysaa Somcable fadhi laga maamulo, xaga nabadgelyada waxa masuul ka noqonaysa dawlada. Gobolada dalka oo dhan shaqaale ayaa maamulaya xafiisyadayada, waxaanu mar walba tababar siin doonaa shaqaalaynta dadka reer Somaliland oo iyaga fursada u horaysa la siin doono.shaqaalahayaga waxa tababaro lagu soo siin doonaa Yurub. Tacliinta iyo caafimaadka shirkad wal oo xadhig meel dhigtaa waxa ay fursada koowaad siisaa waxbarashada inay adeeg siiyaan ardayda ka caawiya tacliinta. Waxaanu balan-qaadaynaa qiimayaal gaar u ah jaamacadaha wadanka oo bilaash wax yar uun ka badan. Caafimaadkana dhakhaatiirta iyo baadhitaanadooda adeegyadaasi waa kuwo aan isleeyahay dalku wuu ka faa’iidi doonaa.”

Waxaanu Yuusuf sheegay inaanay Shirkadda Somcable noqon doonin mid cidi kaligeed leedahay, balse ay noqonayso mid sheerer badan siinaysa ganacsatada reer Somaliland, si ay u ballaadhato oo ay u noqoto shirkad dadweynaha reer Somaliland guud ahaan ka dhaxaysa oo ay wada leeyihiin.

Wasiirka Boosaha iyo Isgaadhsiinta Cabdirisaaq Ibraahim ayaa isaguna ka hadlay munaasibadan waxaanu tilmaamay in shuruucda ganacsi ee dalku ay dhigayaan inuu ganacsigui noqdo mid xor ah oo aan mad madaw lahayn, waxaanu shirkada Somcable ku adkeeyey inaanu mashruucan hirgelintiisu dhaafin waqtigii loogu talo galay “Dawladu waxay leedahay ajande dhab oo lagu xaqiijinayo in ganacsigeenu uu noqdo mid xor iyo xalaal ah oo ku salaysan shuruucda caalamiga ah oo aan ahayn wax mugdi ku jiro oo noqon doonta wax qof waliba uu ku qanco” ayuu yidhi wasiirku “Shirkada Somcable waxaanu aad iyo aad ugu rajo waynahay inay ahayd bartilmaameed sharaf noo ah inaanu siino ruqsada dalka lagu keenayo mashruucan, waxaananu ku dhiirgelinaynaa inaanu maalin ka habsaamin xilligii loogu talagalay” ayuu hadalkiisa ku soo koobay Wasiirka Boosta iyo Isgaadhsiintu.

Waxa iyaguna munaasibada ka hadlay labada guddoomiye ku-xigeen ee shir-guddoonka Guurtida iyo Wakiillada Somaliland Sheekh Axmed Sheekh Nuux Furre, Cabdicasiis Maxamed Samaale iyo Prof. Axmed Xuseen Ciise oo dhammaantood tilmaamay tilmaamay inay soo dhawaynayaan mashruuca ay shirkadda Somcable ku keenayso dalka xadhigga Badda hoos mara. Waxaanu Axmed Xuseen Ciise sheegay in marka Shirkaddaa la dhaqaajiyo Somaliland heli doonto Internet awood badan leh oo ka jaban ka hadda la dalka laga helo.

Minnesota’s Somalilanders celebrate their homeland’s democracy

by Issa A. Mansaray
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Originally posted 18/8/2010

In late July, hundreds of Somalilanders in Minnesota gathered at the Hilton Hotel in downtown Minneapolis to celebrate elected President Ahmed Mohamed “Silanyo” Mohamoud’s victory in Somaliland.

After President Silanyo, as he is commonly called, defeated incumbent Dahir Riyale Kahin in June elections, Somalilanders in Minnesota said it was time to celebrate and reflect on the country’s future. Hundreds of people from Somaliland, the breakaway republic, gathered to listen to a recorded video message from President Silanyo and members of his Kulmiye political party based in Minnesota.

Still struggling to be recognized, Somaliland’s recent election has been declared as free and fair by local and international observers. The Washington-based International Republican Institute (IRI), which monitors elections around the world, also reported the election as free and fair.

In his video message to the Minnesota group, Mr. Silanyo, who holds a degree from the London School of Economics, promised to unite the country and engage the estimated six to eight thousand Somalilanders to help develop the country.

New Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed “Silanyo” Mohamoud

Saad I. Samatar, one of the speakers at the Hilton, reminded the Somaliland community of the importance of a lean government with small departments with no more than 13 ministries.

“Democracy comes from within. We can’t import democracy from London, Washington or Paris,” said Samatar, a reference and archives librarian at Hennepin County Library. “We had, and should have, our homegrown democratic system.”

As the crowd patiently waited for the night discussions to end, black metallic speakers staged on the podium blasted music from their homeland. Women dressed mostly traditionally and men in both traditional and Western attire coming from different parts of Minnesota listened and applauded the various speakers. Later, some joined the youth on the dance floor.

At the Hilton, where President Silanyo met many in the Somaliland community to raise funds for his election a few years ago, Samatar and others urged the new government to use the Diaspora community as a resource base for education, economic development, and technology transfer.

In his inauguration ceremony on July 27, President Silanyo promised to improve the economy and work closely with the international community. He appointed 20 ministers and six deputies, describing it as the smallest cabinet in the history of Somaliland.

Somaliland’s presidential election was the first in seven years after a series of delays. In 1991, Somaliland declared its independence and separated from the rest of Somalia. The self-declared breakaway republic runs its own internal and external affairs, but still struggles to receive international recognition.

According to the constitution, Silanyo is allowed to serve five years in office. He faces multiple problems that include unemployment, a country still awash in poverty, and the insurgent and political turmoil around Somaliland’s borders and neighboring Puntland, a semi-autonomous enclave that did not participate in the election.

“We want to change the government,” said Ismail M. Jama, co-founder and second chairman of the local branch of the Kulmiye party. “The new government should be accountable and transparent.”

Samatar, Jama and others echoed the views of those present. They want the new government to pay special attention to the justice system, human rights for all Somalilanders, and respect for neighboring states.

President Silanyo and his supporters promised to be transparent and reform the country’s slow-paced development.

“The campaign is over now,” said Axmed Nur Fahia, Kulmiye party chairman in Minnesota. “We need all Somalilanders to join hands, work together, and forgive each other.”

Minnesota serves as the main base for the Kulmiye party with 13 branches in North America.

Time for Kenya & Ethiopia to recognize Somaliland independence

Abdulazez Al-Motairi

Somaliland

The horn of Africa has endured some of the biggest wars in Africa. The region is one of the most unstable in the world. Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are historically the principal states shaping the region´s politics and due to the Greater Somalia (GS) ideology Somali children know how to shoot machine guns more than they know how to use a pencil. Because of the GS, Somalia has been the only country in the world without a government the last 16 years. And these irredentism ambitions of Greater Somalia will bring more wars in the region since satisfying Greater Somalia means destroying the boundaries of Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti. So the big question is, why aren´t horn of Africa countries assisting Somaliland get its independence and give GS the final blow?

As Ethiopia and Kenya keep quiet, the propaganda attack against Somaliland by Greater Somalia (GS) advocates is increasing everyday. Many GS supporters are accusing Somaliland of being Ethiopian puppet. This is comical because it is not Ethiopia that originally put the Somaliland boundaries; it was UK holding it as a “British protectorate.” So Ethiopia has nothing to do with the plan of Somalilanders to have their own country. They already declared independence many years ago and for them it is a done deal. Ethiopia has nothing to do with their decision. Yes, Somaliland was “federated” with Ethiopia 500 years ago and Yes, a small part of Somaliland was governed under the Ethiopian ancient Kingdom of Axum in the 3rd century. But today it is the 21st century. Ethiopians today don´t have any ambition to take any part of Somaliland. In fact, Haile Selassie was able to reach Mogadishu and Hargeisha many times during various battles six decades ago, but he was never interested in taking over Somalia. Also after the failed invasion by Siad Barre, Ethiopia could have kept its troops in Somalia and tried to permanently take its lands during Mengistu government. But Ethiopia was not interested. In general, Ethiopia has NO interest in colonizing or in taking Mogadishu or Hargeisha.

Secondly, other Greater Somalia (GS) supporters are accusing Somaliland of being a secessionist. In fact, this “secessionist” label is being used as a curse word. This is even more comical because the same people who support the secessionist ONLF are accusing Somaliland for being secessionist. This is illogical. It doesn´t make sense.

But what is logical politics is for all the people in the horn of Africa to identify the historical source of the region´s problems. All countries in Africa are ethnically mixed and diverse. All African nations have a multi-ethnic society; some of these are shaped this way because of historical African conquests and some of these are shaped this way because of the general AU consensus to keep the status quo of boundaries used during the European colonization. However, when we come to the Greater Somalia advocates, they are seeking to be a nation of only one ethnicity by annexing the territories of other African nations. By doing so, GS contradicts the de facto AU status quo of a multi-ethnic society. For the GS to be achieved, it has to break up all neighboring countries. East Kenya has to be annexed, southeastern Ethiopia has to be annexed and parts of Djibouti must be annexed. Thus, it is clear that the horn of Africa will never have peace and stability as long as GS politicians dominate Mogadishu politics. It is long overdue for Mogadishu politicians to accept the reality in Africa and to accept the status quo in Africa. So ONLF, ICU and many other Somali groups seeking to directly or indirectly satisfy their Greater Somalia ideology must be opposed if we care for the stability of not just the region but also the whole Africa. The Horn of African countries recognizing Somaliland´s independence will give the final blow to the GS ideology and marginalize the GS advocates out of mainstream politics in Mogadishu permanently.

Mo Farah completes historic double Gold 5,000m & 10,000m at European Athletics Championships 2010

Video:

Briton Mo Farah became the first man in 20 years to claim the long distance double at the European athletics championships with victory in the 5,000 meters in Barcelona.

Farah, who won the 10,000metres on Tuesday, scorched to glory in last night’s 5,000m final to exact revenge over runner-up Jesus Espana – the Spaniard who pipped him to gold by 0.09secs four years ago.

MO FARAH wrote his name into athletics folklore with a golden double in Barcelona and admitted: ‘ This is unbelievable.’

Farah grinned: “If someone had told me a few months ago that I would be double European champion I would not have believed them. I would have settled for one gold but this is unbelievable. I was always aware of what happened last time when I lost gold by half a second and I had to make sure that didn’t happen again.”
