Dear Saeed,

Thank you for posting this achievement, Every somalilande is proud of our Guardian Angel ADNA. But you did not need to exagerate on the other titles this great lady may have not attempted. Please let us be very careful when we identify our wonderful achievers with achievements they have never achieved. Dr. Edna is the first woman in Somalia/Somaliland to qualify as a nurse – NOT TRUE THERE WAS ANOTHER ARAB LADY WHO DIED IN UK, WHO WAS THE FIRST SOMALI NURSE, SHE LEFT SL WEITH THE BRITISH AFTER INDEPENDENCE., the first woman to be appointed a director in the government – VERY QUESTIONABLE 7 UNPROVABLE, the first to speak out against female genital mutilation in the horn of Africa – TOTAL EXAGERATION UNLESS THE HORN TO YOU IS ONLY SOMALIA, THERE IS A GROUP OF ETHOPIAN LADIES WHO STARTED MAKING NOICES SINCE 1952.the first woman in Somalia/Somaliland to obtain a driver’s – NOT TRUE, IN MOGADISHO AND THE SORROUNDING PLANTATIONS WERE QUITE A FEW WOMEN MKARRIED TO THE ITALIANS FARMERS/OFFICERS WHO USED TO DRIVE IN THE EARLY 40′S- YES ADNA WAS THE FIRST IN SOMALILAND. HOwever I do admire and cherish Madame ADNA, She our Jewel in the Crown, and does not deserve to be pampered with titles she doesnt need nor achieved.

Regards

Comment on Leaders of Somaliland’s Main Parties Agree to Memorandum of Understanding by Abdikarim Essa

Somaliland has become a nation without conscience, no pride and self-respect. Our Qat addicted elders have sold the future of their children for Qat! They have no shame and no soul, and we keep them in their positions,

Somaliland is a hopeless case;

Comment on Somaliland Public To Riyale: “We Own, Maintain the Peace” by Muhammed Abdi

Great article. Very informative. Two main points stand out; one Riyale is responsible for the disturbance of peace, two the peace was there before he came to power and will remain after he is gone.

Comment on Two Killed, Five Others Injured In Clashes With Somaliland Police by Abdikarim Essa

Those innocent people were not killed only by Rayaale’s thugs; every red-bearded “suldaan”, greedy politician and everyone who helped and still helps maintain this murderer in power is also an accessory to every murder he undertakes.

Give a gun to a killer! even worse give power to a genocidal war criminal. Rationality is missed in Somaliland.

@Amin Hassan

He has no permit to carry a firearm anywhere (Only police and Military are legally allowed to carry), yet he took a gun into the parliament. How can you justify that? What was he supposed to do with it? Do you understand that he is not an ordinary citizen, he is an MP!!! He had the audacity to carry a gun inside a government institution. He certainly is a danger to everyone around him. He should be removed immediately and should never hold a public office. It also needs to be investigation who else in the government knew this, or assisted him with it.

I also watched the video footage and did not see anyone punching him before or after, go see it yourself at http://www.somaliland.org/2009/09/09/halkan-ka-daawo-sida-xildhibaanka-udub-cabdiraxmaan-xoog-ula-soo-baxay-baastoolada/

Comment on Leader of Somaliland’s Upper House “Slammed” The Phone Down On President Rayale by Ahmed Omar

Suggestion: Compromised solution to the problem
1. President Riyale resigns and transfers power to his vise president (VP) (but he will participate in the upcoming presidential election)
2. Opposition parties to withdraw all their conditions.
3. Parliament and Guurti to establish temporary law to form interim government for six months that will be headed by current VP. The ministers will be made up of professionals who are not affiliated with the political parties.
4. Parliament to issue amnesty for all the current government officials and ensure no criminals charges are leveled against them in future.
5. Form new NEC.
6. The interim government main function will be to ensure that the NEC: a- Review and complete voters registration in all province of S/Land. b- Hold the election on the agreed upon date.
7. Finally, the interim government transfers the power to winner.
May Allah protect our country.

Lies lies lies, everything you wrote in here about the mp Abdirahman Mohamed Jama is a lies, that’s not how things happened. Before the mp got the gun he was punch severely times by anther man, with no reason at all. The mp was speaking to anther man at the time before out of no were he started getting punched. i think before u write staff you need to get your story right but I guess this is how this world is and people right what they want not what’s right. this mp that you are saying is disturbing democracy in Somaliland came lived in a democrat country were he had a nice life and didn’t need to come back to Somaliland but came back to help his people but I guess that’s what you get for trying to do the right thing.

Comment on Somaliland Parliament Seeks To Impeach President by Abdi

Abdi — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:31:41 +0000

I am sorry! Absolutely, it is waste of time. Impeach does not work.
Riyaale does not often accept any resolutions the parliament deliberates, also, there is a constitutional supreme court that annuls as such.
If it is necessary to remove Riyaale, then, an alternative method has to be identified other than what is happening in Hargeisa now.
