Radio Somaliland - 26 Jun, 2010By: Saeed Furaa - Elections are characterized by promises, manifestos and commitment to public duty from politicians and political parties.
Radio Somaliland - 22 Jun, 2010- Ibrahim Mead, Political analyst - “I have all the money, what does the opposition have? They have nothing. Follow the money and vote for me” Riyaale bragged!
Radio Somaliland - 16 May, 2010As Somalis, we often praise ourselves as a people of immense talents in manipulating the oral word to suit our needs of the moment
Radio Somaliland - 18 Feb, 2010Somaliland’ fledgling democracy has met many serious obstacles since the very first municipal elections that were held in December 2002
Radio Somaliland - 11 Feb, 2010Since the resolution at the end of September of the crisis related to the much delayed Presidential elections in Somaliland...
What (Somaliland) we are confronting to day is nothing but our sin! We sinned when we handed over our Somaliland to the killers of Somali Landers! To the enemy of Somaliland!
If that is Riyaale and that is he, the enemy, what would we call the Riyaale/Awil driven UDUB (tantrum) parliamentarian by the name of Hussein Ismail who said astonishingly idiotically, by: Ibrahim Mead
"The debate is no more a quarrel between political parties. It is between saving Somaliland from sure disaster in the hands of the sub-contractors." By: Ibrahim Mead
Mr. Rayaale you already illustrated how ungrateful you are to Somaliland. Aren’t you ashamed that after seven years in power at least for one day you didn’t act like a leader and talk like a leader. By: Abdisamad Ali Awaleh
Edna Adan Ismail, the founder of the Edna Hospital of Somaliland, is one of those people. Her achievements are quite remarkable considering the difficult circumstances she has been working in for the past few years. By; Stijn Jaspers
"Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air." Henry A Grunwald by:Saeed Furee
Inuu ka dhaga-adaygu oo uu diido rabitaanka shacabka Somaliland, Bulshada caalamka iyo go'aankii golaha wakiiladu soo saareen 11/08/09, ka dibna uu wajaho in golaha wakiiladu ka xayuubiyaan maamuskii iyo xilkii Madaxweyne ee ummada u hayey.
Here, history repeated it self!
Again we found our selves warning and appealing the world to save Somaliland from her own government, just like (SNM) we warned the world against Siyad Barre’s Regime of what they were doing with their own people
Some news and other sources are telling us that the EU and the US are now evaluating whether Riyaale and thugs are to be imposed travel pan and their accounts be frozen if they do not change their decision regarding the Somaliland elections as well the expulsions of the Interpeace and others helping Somaliland.
It is not “ Ceelbardale-Dila issue. It is a nation under threat! The conspiracy is originating from the house facing the (neglected) Group Hospital! Some people call it the “cursed house!”

A Final Short Note About SNM
27 Apr, 2005 -

To tell you the truth, SNM was Somaliland’s dominant group organized in a liberation movement - and I mean the group as a whole.
In the early days of planning the struggle, the circumstance was that the government used divisive tribalism as a means of staying on power. It wasn’t possible for all groups to give their allegiances to one organization. The dominant group of Somaliland took arms against its own government, after having seen the union with Somalia, under a dictatorship, wasn’t working for Somaliland’s purpose of the union.
Historically, in a war, many unrecoverable mistakes happen. It wasn’t different with the SNM. It is why the reconciliation conference was held in Borame in the first place. Though free discussion of the people is permissible, after the dictatorship, revisiting the qualities of an organization that was, wouldn’t do anyone any good. It would only open up old wounds. Since no group (if they are in their minds) would want to go back to the dark days, degrading SNM can be the topic of the fools. Instead, I think, it is much better to enjoy sharing its product, an independent Somaliland, which we do.
In a country every body- whether she/he had been pro or against the struggle- cannot be satisfied. A dissatisfied individual who says, “The country needs re-liberation” and who pretends to be speaking in the name of SNM should not be believed. Such an individual is merely pointing out his/her dissatisfaction. A Somali saying is “The meanest of all men is the one who believes everything said.”
SNM was itself a democratic organization. It has always elected its leadership, had five different elected leaders during the liberation period (1982 -1991) and the liberation of Somaliland was by early 1991 complete. Somaliland has retreated from the ill-fated union by 18 May1991. SNM promised that it would transfer all powers to population with in two years- In this case, population means the pro and against liberation groups. It did so in 1993 in the famous reconciliation conference in Borame.
So, please don’t be mean. Hold your head high!!!!!
God bless you!!!
