Cabdillaahi Jawaan Gudoomiye Xigeenkii Komishankii Doorashooyinka Qaranka ee ugu horeeyay oo ka Hadlay Xaaladda Dalku Marayo

Siyaasiga caanka ah ee Cabdillaahi Cabdi Xaaji Cumar (Cabdillaahi-Jawaan) oo ahaa guddoomiye xigeenka guddigii doorashada ee u horeeyay, ayaa ka hadlay xaalada siyaasadeed ee uu dalku marayo iyo doorashadii u dambaysay ee goleyaasha deegaanada ee dalka ka dhacay.

           

Cabdillaahi-Jawaan oo isagoo jooga dalka Ingiriiska, u waramay Wargeyska Geeska Afrika, waxa kale oo uu ka hadlay mudaraadadii ka dhacay Hargeysa ee keenay dhimashada iyo dhaawaca. Waraysigaasi wuxuu u dhacay sidan:

Muddooyinkan masraxyada siyaasada laguguma arag Cabdilaahi, waxaanad ku sugantahay dalkaas Ingiriisaka miyaad ka faaruqday masraxa siyaasada Somaliland?

Runtii siyaasada ninba nooc buu u yaqaanaa, dadkeenuna siyaasada qalad ayay ka fahansan yahiin, siyaasada macnaheedu waa talada umadda qofkuna inta uu noolyahay  ee uu miyir qabo kama baxo meel kasta aad kaga aadanaatide,waad ku jiraysaa, markaas kama aan baxin.

Dalku wakhigan doorashooyinkii goleyaasha deegaanka ayuu ka soo baxay, rabshado iyo murano badan oo gobalada dalka inta badan wada saameeyayna waa ay ka dhaceen, sidaad u aragtaa adigu doorashadii siday u dhacday?

Anigu doorashu sida ay u dhacday qof ahaan waan dhaliilayay oo dhaliilo waa ay lahayd, duruufo badanina waa ay jireen oo guddoomiyaha gudiga doorashooyinku uu ka hadlay, anagu markaanu gudiga doorashada ahayn waxii shaqadayada ah marka sharcigeedu noo yimaado cidna kala maanan tashan jirin, xukuumadana waxaanu uga baahan jirnay dhaqaale qudha, wasiir baanan u ogalaan jirin inuu soo dhex galo madaxweyne ayaanan u oglaan jirin inuu soo dhex galo, mid waliba sida uu sharcigu yahay ayuun buu ku eekaa, xumaana may ahayne waxay ahayd sidaad xilkiina u gudataan anagana kaayaga noogu daaya, markaa runtii waxii dhaliila ah ee ay leedahay iyo waxii wanaagaba komishankii markaas jiray ayaa ku shaqo lahaa allena waa uu inagu guuleeyay oo saddex doorasho ayaanu qabanay.

Sidaad u aragtaa doorashadan u danbaysay dhimashada iyo dhaawac badan ee ay keentay maadama oo aad ahayd komishaneer wakhti dheer arimaha doorashada ee dalka ku dhax jiray?

Aad iyo aad ayaan ugu xumahay arintaasu inay dhacdo oo Somaliland sumcad xumaan ku keentay, marka hore waxaan leeyahay Alle dhammaanteen samir iyo iiimaan haynaga siiyo intii dhimatay inta dhaawacana hashaafiyo, waa wax ku yimi qadarka alle oo lama baajin karo, laakiin canaana lama waayo oo meesha ay wax ka dhacaan cida u ehel ah ayuunbaa lagu canaantaa.

Dadkeenu qalad ayay ka fahan san yahiin mudaharaadka waxa ay  sameeyaan wax la gubo iyo dhagax la tuuro iyo waxyaabo aan loo baahnayn, sida adduunka mudaharaadka loo sameeyaa waa inaad soo qorto waxaad doonayso  si nabad ahna aad u martaa wadooyinka ama xafiiska aad doonayso aad isku hortaagtaa, adiga oo aan wabxa tuur ruurin, laakiin markay taasi dhacday ciidankiina halay budh iyo ul isticlaami lahaayeen xabad  nool ayay isticmaaleen wax loo baahan yahayna may ahayne khasaaraha iyo dhimashada taas ayaa keentay, waxaan  anigu u arkaa aqoondaro ku timi dadka banaan baxaaya iyo booliskaba, xukuumada iyo ciddii dadka laysana waan ku dhaliilayaa, dadkana waxaan u soo jeedinayaa mudaharaadka ay dhigayaan inay ka dhigaan mid salmi ah.

Markaad arimaha kala gurayso adiga oo khibarada aad u leedahay maamulida doorashooyinka isticmaalaya, qaladaad caynkee ah ayaa doorashda ka dhacay aayad odhan kartaa?

Waxaan u arkaa inay ku dhex jirtay faro galin dhanka xukuumad ah, waxaad arkaysay wasiir goobaha doorashada dhex ordaayay, kaanbaynka marka lagu jiro waa loo ogal yahay mudadaas cida xisbiga taageersan inay dhex orado oo ay gobalada tagto, laakiin maalinta ay doorashadu dhacayso dhaq dhaqaaq waxa loo ogal yahay gudiga doorashda iyo cidii la shaqaynaysay,waxa intaas soo raaca wax yaabaha daruuriga ah, wax la arkaayay wasiiradii oo doorashda dhex socda taasina waa waxa dhibaatada keenay, waxa la arkayay meel dhibaato ka dhacday oo la leeyahay madaxweyne hebal ayaa tahay ama wasiir hebal looma baahnayn inay tagaan, waxay ahayd inay komishanku tagaan  oo dadka qanciyo meeshii ay wax ka jiraana uu arko, qalad haduu arkana  uu talaabo ka qaado taas ayaa loo baahnaa, markaas doorkaas ayaa meesha ka maqnaa.

Waxa haatan soo baxay sadex  xisbi qaran oo  middi uu  inagu cusub yahay, waxaana jirta xifiltan haatan ka dhex oogan labada xisbi mucaarad halkii ay ku jehaysan lahaayeen dheeli tirka xukuumadda, sideed u aragtaa xisbiyada soo baxay iyo gaar ahaan arintaas?

Runtii labada xisbi wax xifiltan ah kama dhaxeeyaan ee labada guddoomiye ayaa xooga xurguf ah ay ka dhaxaysay markaan arinka mucaaradka ku horeeyo, waatii hore lay waydiiyay markii ay UCID isku qabteen ee lay doortay gudoomiye ku xigeenka koowaad ee aan anigu idhi waxaan door biday inay iyagu heshiiyaan ama ay maxkamad ku kala baxaane ee anigu dhex gali maayo, imikana waxaan qabaa haddii ay xurgufi jirto waa mid ku eeg labada gudoomiye ee kama dhaxayso labada xisbi.

Labada gudoomiyana waxaan leeyahay xilka aad umada u haysaan ka dhex saara waxii idinka idiin gaar ah, oo raaca shuruucda xisbiyadiina u dajisan iyo xeerarka dalka is haysa-shadiinu umaday dhib u keenaysaaye. Labadooduba arimhaas haka tanaasuleen is weerarna looma baahana, mucaarad iyo muxaafidba waxa laysku dhaliili karaa umada shaqadii loo qabanaayay ee cid muxaafka ah ay ka gaabisay, wax ka reeban laakiin cay iyo canbaarayn sharciya marnaba dhaqanka siyaasadu ma ogala, waxaanan ku talinayaa inay isaga yimaadaan ama ay ka gaabsadaan waxii dadka u tusaaya inay madaxa iskula jiraan, xisbiyo mucaarada oo nadiifana ay noqdaan oo saxa qaladaadka xukuumada oo umaduna ay hadhaw kalsooni ay ku siin karto  inay hogaaminta dalka qaban karaan, waxaana lagu qiimaynayaa siday noqdaan taasna inay wadadeeda maraan ayaan u soo jeedinayaa.

Sidee aad u aragtaa hoggaaminta madaxweyne Axmed Siilaanyo oo wakhtigan xukunka hayay  in lagu qiimayn karo hoggaankiisa?

Intuu madaxweyne Axmed Siilaanyo talada dalka hayay waan ka maqnaa, qaylo badanina waa ay jirtaa, wax badan oo la qabtayna waa ay jiraan, dadkeenuna waxay dhaqan u leeyahiin wax kastaaba ha yimaadeene inaynu eedaynta aad u badino, wax walbana loo sibir saaro hoggaanka markaas jira.

Anigu wax aan ku dhaliilay xukuumada waa ay jirtaa oo waa siyaasada dibada, sida safaaradaha  oo kale,  baasaboorka Somaliland meel walba waa uu ka socon jiray markii hore, imika meelahii uu ka socon jiray oo dhan waa uu ka soo oodmay, waxaynu go?aansanay markii aynu Somaliya ka go?aynay ee aynu joognay Burco in Somaliland iyo Somaliya ay labadoodu wada hadlaan,  laakiin shirarka caalamiga ah ee loo qabanaayo Somaliya in aynaan dhex galin oo aynaan ku milmin, qodabkaasna xukuumada Axmed Maxamed Siilaanyo waa ay ka talaabsatay guurtidiibaa sharciyaysay oo qarankii oo dhan ayaa isku raacay, aniga oo shaqsi ahn ma odhan karo hala joojiyo, laakiin waxaan u arkaa wadadii aynu goosanay hore ee danta Somaliland ku jirtay in ay dhibaato u keenayso, xukuumadan Somaliya joogtaa dhawaan waata lagaga cabanaayay baasaboorkii Koonfurta Sudaan ay dadkeenu ku joogeen, meel walba oo ay Somaliland dhaq dhaqaaq ku lahayd cagta ayay saareen, waxaanay ahayd nin haddaad wada hadlaysaan in aanu kula dagaalamin oo waxa kuu  socda ee kuu jira aanu burburin, haddii uu kalu dagaalmayna waa inaad jawaabteeda mid mudan siisaa, oo aad tidhaadaa waxaasu waa qalad ee iga daa.

Waxaan ogahay in markii imika labada wasiir ee arimah dibadu ay halkan Ingiriiska joogeen ay  meel wada joogeen, xukuumadda inay marti u wada ahaayeen, in la qaban qaabinayay shirka bisha shanaad la qabnaayo waxii ka soo baxi lahaa, marka dadka la?la hadlaayana waxa la odhanayaa waxba kama jirin iyo ma ogalin sidaas.

Mawqifka meesha yaala waa in la fahansan yahay waxa laga wada hadlaayo, waanu wada hadlaynaa waa uu sii soconayaa, maxaa sii soconaaya, lixdankii inagaa midnimada doonay oo gaynay imikana inagaa kala soo noqonay  dadka iyo hoggaanku waa inay wada socdaan, waxa laga wada hadlayaana waa inay cad yahiin, laba dal baynu nahay oo Burco waxaynu ku gaynay in laga wada hadlo sidii laysku aqoonsan lahaa iyo waxii inaga dhaxeeyay sidii loo kala guran lahaa  iyo sidii is kaashi loo yeelan lahaa, maantana iyana waa ay ina sheeganayaan  adna naga tag iyo muran ayaad la soo taagan tahay, hadana waxa lagu leeyahay  meel wanaagsan ayay arintu maryasaa, markaas anigu waxaan leeyahay ma cada arintaasu, waxa laga wada hadlayaa waa inay noqdaan ma midnimadaynu  ku noqonaa mise waynu kala baxnaa oo waynu is aqoonsanaa, waxaan leeyahay wax huursan oo da?dan arinkeedu ma cada umadan fikradeeda ma waafaqsana?

U.S. Recognition of Government of Somalia for First Time in 20 Years

Posted by Nasri Hussein, Program Management Specialist, East Africa’s Transition Initiatives for Stabilization on Friday, January 18th 2013 

For over two decades, Somalis have been known as stateless. They have been associated with piracy, terrorism, and continued lack of law and order. Yesterday, the U.S. government formally recognized the Government of Somalia for the first time in 20 years. To me, this recognition brings back the dignity of a people who have endured so much. As a Somali-Kenyan, this recognition is meaningful to me. In the Horn of Africa, we are all Somalis regardless of our citizenship.

Over the years, my greatest areas of concern in Somalia have been increasing access to basic services and economic opportunities for the most vulnerable, and strengthening Somali women’s contributions to politics and leadership. With a recognized Somali Government, I believe these hopes will become realities in the near future.

At USAID, our work spearheads the long-term development the country needs, and we will work in close partnership with the Somali Government to achieve this. Somalia will benefit from USAID’s support, capacity building and expertise as a respected development agency. I hope that by taking USAID’s lead, other governments and financial institutions will also be more likely to directly partner with the Somali Government.

The Somali people are hardworking, innovative and very hospitable. They have already started rebuilding the country and diaspora members are returning. Somalia is a beautiful country with the most serene white beaches boasting the longest coastline on the Indian Ocean at more than 3600 km. It has a rich history and diverse groups of people; it is rich in livestock, agriculture, minerals and marine resources. Once you visit, you are hooked for life! I look forward to seeing how development in Somalia will enrich life even more for the Somali people.

UNHCR Says over 1 Mln Somali Refugees in Horn of Africa

2013-01-20
There are 1.1 million Somali refugees in the Horn of Africa region as of Dec. 31, 2012, a UN refugee agency said on Saturday.

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said Somali refugees in the Horn of Africa region included 532,660 in Kenya, 219,057 in Yemen, 214,167 in Ethiopia, and 29,603 in Uganda among other countries, the UNHCR said in its latest Somalia Factsheet released in Nairobi on Saturday.

The agency said a total of 23,086 Somalis or 21 percent of total migrants who arrived in Yemen in 2012 were Somali, a significant 15 percent decrease in migration from the previous year.

According to UNHCR, there were 107,698 individuals registered in Kakuma refugee camp as at the end of December 2012, representing a 4 percent increase in population from the previous month.

A local newspaper report attributed the increase in population to the registration of 3,000 refugee arrivals to the camp from Sudan in November and December of 2012.

"The refugees cited growing insecurity in Sudan as well as interest in educational opportunities in the camp as the reason behind their migration," UNHCR said in the latest report.

The Kenyan government in mid December of 2012 stopped registration of refugees and asylum seekers mainly from Somalia in urban areas with immediate effect due to insecurity incidents across the country.

Acting Commissioner for Refugee Affairs Badu Saro Katelo also ordered officials to close down all registration centers in the urban areas, saying such exercise will be undertaken at the refugee camps in northern Kenya.

Katelo said all asylum seekers/refugees will be registered and hosted at the refugee camps. They are ordered to report to Dadaab refugee camps in northeast Kenya while asylum seekers from other countries should report to Kakuma refugee camp in northwest Kenya.

The east African nation is also hosting nearly half a million refugees from Somalia and has delayed their repatriation until the security situation in the country improves further.

According to UNHCR, the Somali community now comprises 46.5 percent of the Kakuma camp population in northwest Kenya. South Sudanese comprise 31.8 percent of the total camp population.

The UN refugee agency said the current total population has surpassed the camp's original capacity of 100,000 and there are on- going talks between UNHCR and the government to establish a second camp near the original camp.

The UNHCR said due to the increased generalized insecurity towards members of the Somali community in Kenya, there are reports of the return of Somali refugees and migrants living in Kenya to Somalia.
"Most of the returns are of urban refugees who can afford to return by air as many of the roads are still unsafe for travel in Somalia," the refugee agency said.

Given the rising insecurity for urban and other refugees in Kenya, there has been increased repatriation of refugees to Mogadishu,. Flights between Nairobi and Mogadishu were and continue to be fully booked since December.

"Refugees are seeking and getting travel documents from the Somali Embassy in Kenya; however there has not been any effective monitoring of the returns and the scale of return is still unknown, " it said.
Returnees interviewed by International Organization for Migration (IOM) cited the growing insecurity in Kenya as a reason for return.

According to UNHCR, the population of Dadaab refugee camp as of Dec. 31, 2012 was 449,815, a 4 percent decrease in population compared to the previous month when the population was 468,770.

"The difference in numbers of refugees who have left is quite significant at close to 18,955 refugees," the UN refugee agency said.

FOR HIS INVESTMENT OF OUR CHILDREN

 


Muwaadiniinta reer Somaliland ee tacab iyo adduun ku caawiyay mashruuca Abaarso Tech iyagu waajib saaran bay guteen way ku mahadsan yihiin maalin aan maanta ahayn ayay ajarkooda heli doonaan, waxba yaanay ifka abaal iyo magac ku raadin. Jonothan Star markuu dalka yimaad iyo markuu dhoofayaba sacab ayaan ku soo dhawaynaynaa oo ku sagootiyaynaa Sawirkiisa oo wayn ayaanu aqalada sudhan doonaa garoomada diyaaradaha ku dhajin rabnaa taariikhda ku qoraynaa qalbiyada caruurtayada ayuu ku yaalaa, wiilkaasi Maraykanka ahi isagoo aan muwaadin ahayn ayuu u soo badheedhay nolol qarfo iyo rafaad badan baahiyi nooma ay keenin. Abaalkiisana taasi ayuu nagaga mutaystay.

Qolada dacaayada dugsiga Abaarso la dabosocota walaahi waxanu leenahay hadda waanu idin aqoonsanay markii hore waad is qarinayseen waxanu si daacadnimo leh idiinku sheegaynaa in aad dab ku ciyaaraysaan hadaanu nahay umadda Somaliland waxanu idin leenahay waanu ku filanahay in aanu ilaashano Dugsiga Abaarso idin soo ashkatayn mayno laakiin dabkaad ku ciyaaraysaan haku gubanina

QALINKII SULEIMAN ISMAIL BOLALEH (SALEEBAAN XUQUUQ

waxa uu yahay iyo meesha uu yahay waa la wada ogyahay. Laakiin sida ka muuqata, dadka qaar bay weli ka maqantahay cidda schoolka dhistay iyo cidda loo dhisay.

Schoolka Abaarso Tech qof gaar ahi ma laha. Sidoo kale, hay’ad gaar ah ama sharikad ganacsi schoolka ma laha. Waxa schoolka leh oo loo dhisay dadka iyo Waddanka reer Somaliland. Wuxu la mid yahay schoolada Waddaniga ah ee Dawladu dhisto oo Wasaaradda tacliintu maamusho.

In kasta oo annay maamulka Abaarso Tech Wasaaraddu gacanta ku hayn, hadana sidaas schoolada dowlada wadanku u leeyahay ayaa Abaarso Tech-na wadanku u leeyahay.

Sida Schoolku ku dhismay waxay ahayd si an laga asarartami karin. Inanka aan adeerka u ahay, Jonathan Starr, ayaa yidhi dhaqaale ganacsi ama wershado waa la samaynkaraa.

Waxa dunida la isku dhaafay waa tacliin iyo aqoon. waxan doonaya in aan school dhiso. Halkii aan school ka dhisi laha wadanka Haiti oo kale oo aad u baahan, waxaan rabaa inaan caruurta aanu ilmaabtiga nahay ee reer Somaliland ula eexdo ee bal Hargeisa an qabano. Markaasnu isa soo racnay oo Hargeisa nimi. Waqtigaas anigaygaasi isaga waxba aada ah maan dhaamin oo wax aad ah ama cid badan Hargeisa kama garanayn.

Anigu waxan doonayay in schoolka laga dhiso Sheikh oo ah meesha aan aqaanay ee aanu ku soo kornay ee hoyga tacliinta noo ahayd. Hargeysa waxba kama aqoon oo meel school laga dhiso ma garanayn.

Iyadoo artintu sidaa tahay, ayaanu is helnay Ahmed Hussein Esa oo anagoo makhayaayad la fidhina nagu yidhi waar iska dhaafa Sheikh oo anigaa meel school ku fiican idiin haya. Wuxu na geeyay Tuulada Abaarso oo halkas dadkii kula hadlay oo ku yidhi waxan idiin wadaa dad school dhisaya ee dhul nasiiya. Markaasay dadkii tuuladu na kaxayeen oo na geeyeen buur qayax ah oo tuulada dusheeda saaran oo na yidhaahdeen qaata dhulkas oo dabaddedna noo qaydeen. Halkaasaa schoolku ka dhismay.

Schoolku, sida la ogyahay, si degdeg ah ayuu ku dhismay. Kharashka galay intiisa badan waxa bixiyay Wiilkan Jonathan Starr. Illa hada lacag gaadhaysa $1.7million baa schoolka gashay. Jonathan wuxuu bixiyay $800,000. Sahiibadiisa Maraykan joogana, oo ay ugu muhimsanyihiin labada nin e Anand Desai iyo Peter Collery, wuxu ka soo ururiyay lacag gadaysa $400,000 oo kale. Inta waxa raaca $200,000 ay keeneen USAID iyo CFO(UK), $200,000 u bixiyay Mohamed Said oo ah ninka leh Somcable, Dahabshiil na $65.000, Ambassador Hotel na $15,000, Telesom na $10,000 iyo Maansoor Hotel $5,000. Dad kale oo badan oo Somali ah iyaguna wixii ay kari karayeen ayay ku dareen. Waa aragtaan oo school qurux baa dhismay. Laakiin maamulnimo weli isma bixiyo oo school feeska yaryarka laga qaadaa meel ma gaadho. Taasiwaxay keentay in uu Jonathan had iyo jeer wax maalintaa loo bahanyahay oo an lacag loo hayn uu jeebkisa ka bixiyo, sida tigidhada macalimiinta dhoofaya ama imanaya.

Markii schoolka meel loo helay oo dhismihiisa lagu dhaqaaqayay, waxan rabay in magaciisa loo bixiyo Jonathan Academy, mar hadii uu isagu schoolka keenay oo lacagtiisii geliyay.

Laakin wuu iga diiday oo yidhi waxa hagaagsan in schoolka tuulada loogu magac daro, iyagaa dhulka ku deeqay oo ina soo dhawayay. Sidaas ayuu magaca Abaarso Tech ku yimi.

Maanta waa la arkaa in Tuuladii Abaarso magaceedi caanbaxay oo dunida ku fiday. Dadka reer Abaarso waa inay taa ku farxaan. Sido kale, Schoolku dhaqaalaha tuulada wuu kobciyay oo iyagaa ka shaqayeeya oo waxna laga iibsada.

Waan qiraya, dad badanna aan hore ugu sheegay, schoolku sidaa dhakhsaha ah uma dhismayn hadii aanu Ahmed Hussein caawin. In kasta oo aanu kharash gelin, laakin taagero laxaad leh ayuu ka gaystay. Waa la wada ogyahay in warqadi xafiis ka gasha an si fudud looga soo saarikarin. Ahmed baa meelahas oo dhan kala garanayay oo warqadii loo baahdoba dabajoogay oo soo sarayay. Waan filayaa in uu marmar halfududayn qaad ah bixiyay. Isagaa noo keenay dadka qandarasyada la siiyay ama kuwa shaqaalaha schoolka loo qortay. Maanu waydiin ciday yihiin. Somaliyi wa isugu kaya mid. Schoolkana ma kala xigaan.

Sidaa awgeed waxa uu Ahmed uqalmay sharafta iyo magaca “co-founder”. Sidaasuuna tariikhda schoolka ku gelayaa oo, wax kasta oo dhacaba, magiciisu schoolka ugu lifaaqsananayaa.

Sida la wada ogyahay, waa la isxantaa oo wax la iskasheegaa. Wax dhulka la marinayaa inuu Ahmed Hussein yidhaahdo anigaa schoolka keenay oo dhisay oo leh. Anigu weligay Ahmed afkiisa kama maqlin isaga oo sidaa u hadlaya. Waxan in badan ka maqlay oo aan qoraal na kaga hayaa isagoo leh anigu Ahmed ahaan weligay school ma sheegan mana sheeganayo. Been baa layga abuurayaa. Hase ahaatee, waxa jirta in marmar wax aanad filayni dhacaan. Hadii dhulka schoolka la siiyay uu Ahmed isagu isku qoray, sida dadka qaar leeyihiin, taasi wa arrin Wasaarada tacliintu eegi karto, xafiiska garsoorka qarankuna baadhikaro.

Hadii, sida aan aaminsanahay, aanay taasi dhicin, wax la isku qabtaaba ma jiraan. Schoolku iminka waa ka caadaa maraya. Dufcadii u horaysay bishan July 2013 bay qalijebinayaan. Waxanu rajaynaynaa inay Scholarships ka helaan jaamacadaha Maraykanka. Kuwii sanad-sanad loo diray school- Boarding ah oo Maraykan ku yaal aad iyo add bay u najaxeen oo magaca Somaliland hore ugu qaadeen. Kuwa schoolka dhameeya sanadkan oo jamacadaha gala na, sidaas oo kale ayaanu filaynaa inay qayrkood uga soo baxayaan. Hadii aanay qaar iyaga ka mid ahi jaamacado helin, Schoolka ayaa lagu sii haynayaa si af ingriisigooda aad kor loogu siiqaado oo ay kaldambe jaamicado si fudud u hellaan.

Waxa ayaan daro ah in beryahan dambe schoolka aflagaado badan loo gaystay oo macalimiinta iyo ardaydaba la caayay. Waxan aaminsanahay in marka wax anshax xumo ah la maqlo markiiba Schoolka loo soo gurmado oo la difaaco. Sidaasaana dhacday oo waa kuwaa waalidiinti iyo wadaadadii iyo dadweynihii ba dhamaan schoolka u hiiliyay oo taageeray. Waa wada mahadsanyihiin. Waxa arin aad loola yaabo ah in, sida la sheegayo, dad waayeel ah oo waxgarad ah oo arkaya sida xaaladu tahay geeska Africa ay abaabuleen oo ka dambeeyeen cayda iyo idacada schoolka loo gaystay oo ay macalimiinta ajnabiga ah iyo wadanka Somaliland ba khatar geliyeen. Hubsiimo hal baa siistaa baa Somalildu tidhaahdaa.

Hadii qof wax odhanayo, horta waa innu runta iyo beenta iska hubsadaa. Warbaahinta wararka fidiyaana waa inay ku kalsoonyihiin waxay qoraan. Marmar baa qofku aanu isarkin oo wuxu leeyahay aanu ka fiirsan oo arrintaa isagu hadhow ku ceeboobaa. Chinesekaa yidhaahda, kaluun bad ku jiraa innu iskukadjay ma arko.
Sida aan hore u idhi, Schoolku isma bixin karo. School feeska soo galaa wuu yaryahay, arday badanina scholarshipyo bay u baahanyihiin. Dowladu waa inay ka caawisaa xaga kharashka joogtada ah. Waxa Wasaarada macdanta iyo biyaha looga baahanyahay in schoolka la siiyo biyo bilaash ah. Hadii aanu ceel qodan kari lahayn, biyaha dowlada loo ma baahdeen. Laakinse buurta schoolku ka dhisanyahay meel ceel laga qodi karo ama wax laga beeri karo ma aha. Waa in Arabsiyo lagaa soo dhaamiyaa. Dowladii hore ayaa ku balanqaaday in Schoolka meelaha ku dhow ceel looga qodo, laakin taa kumay dhaqaaqin. Xaga dabka, schoolka waxa loo kaynay marawaxada dabaysha (windmill) oo casri ah oo aanu rajaynayno in laga helo dab schoolka iyo tuulada ba ku filan.

Dhinaca amaankana, mar hadii macalimiin badan oo marti inoo ahi joogaan, waa in wisarada daakhiligu xil iskasaartaa ilaalinta schoolka oo yaan la odhanin kharashka askarta schoolku ha la boxo. Waxa Schoolka dulsaran kharashka waashmannada oo badan oo labada kharash iskuma qaadikaro.

Arinta kale ee in la xalilo u baahani waa tan Jaamacada. Waxa dhacday in maamulka schoolka Abaarso Tech, si ay u helaan meel schoolka lacagi ka soo gelikarto, waxay bilaabeen waxbarashada heer jaamicadeed ah oo magaalada Hargeisa, badanaa ba habeenki, lagu dhigo Business iyo Accounting courses. Programme-ka oo loo bixiyay Abaarso Tech University, markii uu beryo socday, wuu isbixinwayay oo dhibaatoyinkiisii kale na waa ay bateen. Waxa adkaaday socodkii iyo shidaalkii habeenwalba la imanayay magaalada si Koorosyayda loo ghigo.

Sidaa awgeed, Schoolka Abaarso Tech way iskaga baxeen maamulka programmekaa oo waxa la wareegay Ahmed Hussein. Magaca Abaarso Tech University markiisii horeba khalad buu ahaa oo wuxu keenay in Schoolka iyo Jaamacada la isku khaldo. Weli ilaa hada khaladkaasi wuu socdaa oo wuxu u baahanyahay in labada la kala saaro, madaama aanay iminka Schoolku iyo Jaamacadu shaqo isku lahayn. Ahmed baa iminka jaamacada gacanata ku hayaa oo maamula. Isaga iyo Commission-ka Tacliinta Sare waa innay isutagaan oo ka wada hadlan Jaamacada magaca loo bixinayo wixii iminka ka dambeeyana, si anay mar dambe isugu khaldamin Schoolka Abaarso Tech iyo Jaamacada magaalada Hargeisa dhexdeeda ahi.


Ugu dambayntii, hadaan soo kobo, waa aragtaan in School casri ahi dismay. Ardaydu iyo macalimiintu shaqadooday wataan oo dad la cilaaqtama waqti uma hayaan. Shaqadooda ha loo dayo oo ha la taageero. Dibatadana ha laga daayo. Ninka isyidhaahda dhibaatada iyo khatarta aad Schoolka la soo doonatid waa la iska illaawi wuu khaldanyahay. Dadka reer Haiti baa ku maahmaaha, ninka ku dhuftay wuu ilaawa, laakiin ka dakharku ku yaalaa ma illawo. Waalidiintu waa inay sidaa wanaagsan feejignaanta u sii wadaan. Reer Abaarso na, iyagaa dani ugu jirtaa, e Schoolka ha ilaashadeen.

Qormadii: 8aad - Xeer-dejin iyo Xukuumad is-xanbaar ah (Gorfaynta Xeerka Sir-doonka Qaranka: Xakamaynta Qawlka iyo Qalinka)

Muj. Boobe Yuusuf 

Qormooyinkan kooban ee taxanaha ah ugama jeedno in aan Xafiis Sir-doon oo Qaran aan la samayn, bal se waxaanu uga gol leenahay ujeeddooyinka laga leeyahay Xafiiska noocan ah oo kan la saxeexay aanay wax dan ahi ugu jirin dal iyo dadba.

Xeerkani, werwerka iyo walaac ballaadhan ayuu ku abuuray bulshada Somaliland sida ay u dhan tahay iyo weliba beesha caalamka, gaar ahaan kuwii u ololeynayay Aqoonsiga Somaliland. Xeerkan dhiillada culus ee la xejin waayay ku noqday shacbiga reer Somaliland, sida aanu warar xog-ogaal ah ku haynno, bilowgiisii waxa soo qalin-daraaleeyay Hay’adda Sir-doonka Qaranka. Sida ay noo sheegeen looga-qaateenku, qabyadii Xeerkani waxay u soo gudubtay Madaxtooyada. Intaa ka dib ayaa loo soo gudbinayaa Golaha Wakiillada si uu waajibkiisa uga maro.

Inta badan diyaarinta qabyada qoraallada Xeerarka Golaha Wakiillada soo gala waxay ku soo horreeyaan Guddi-hoosaadyada, oo mid waliba Xeerka khuseeya ama loo igmado ayay ka soo shaqaysaa. Haddaba, Golaha Wakiilladu, Xeerkan lagu suntay ‘Sir-doonka Qaranka’ wuxu u wakiishay oo ka hawl-galay diyaarintiisa Guddi-hoosaadka Arrimaha Gudaha, Nabadgelyada iyo Difaaca ee Golaha Wakiillada. Caqliga fayoobi wuxu Ina siinayaa oo ay ahayd in Guddida-hoosaadka Dastuurka, Garsoorka, Caddaaladda iyo Xuquuqal-insaanka gacanta ku dhigaan oo ay xil-qaadaan soo-diyaarintiisa.

Bal se sida aanu ku hellay, xog sugan oo u dhuun-daloosha hawlaha Golaha Wakiillada, iyada oo la eegayo in hawlaha ammnigu ay hoos yimaaddaan Guddida-hoosaadka Arrimaha Gudaha, Nabadgelyada iyo Difaaca, ayaa Xeerkan Sir-doonka iyada loo xil-saaray.

Sidaas ayuu Xeerkani ku imanayaa Golaha Wakiillada oo lagu ansixinayaa iyada oo aan waqti badanba lagu qaadan. Xeerkani in uu si degdeg ah uga gudbo Golahan Wakiilladi ma ay ahayn wax sidaa u sii ridan, waayo waxay u muuqataa in ay ahayd arrin si laxaad leh looga hawl-galay.

Aroortii la keenayba, cabbaar ka dib Xeerkan goluhu wuu oggolaaday oo la iskumaba raagin, arrintaasina mid iska dhacday ma ay ahayn. Wararka aanu looga-qaateenka ka hellay waxay sheegayaan in aanay Qabyadii Xeerkani soo marin shanta La-taliye ee Golaha Wakiillada kala taliya xagga sharciga. Si kale haddii aan u dhigno Qabyadii Xeerkan ma-hadhada inagu noqday looma eegin ama laguma dhererin Dastuurka iyo Baaqa Caalamiga ah ee xuquuqda beni-aadamka.

Xeer-hoosaadka Golaha Wakiillada marka aad dhex qaaddo, ma kala saar-saarayo xilalka Guddi-hoosaadyada, hal mar ayaanu si qodobbaysan isugu qaadayaa. Bal hadda aad ugu fiirsada qaar ka mid ah waajibaadkooda:

Waxaa xubnaha Guddiyada xilka xulistooda iska leh Shir-gudoonka, iyagoo tixgelinaya aqoontooda cilmiyeed iyo waayo aragnimada ay xubnuh u leeyihiin hawlaha loo xilsaarayo,

Guddi-hoosaad kasta waxa ay ka koobnaanaysa ugu yaraan toddoba (7) xubnood marka laga reebo Guddida Joogtada ah oo ka kooban toddoba iyo toban 17 xubnood,

Halkani, waxay inooga baahan tahay in aynu yar dul joogsanno oo weliba cabbaar ku hakanno. Waxaynu ku qasban nahay in aynu is-barbar dhigno qaabkii loo hoggaamin jiray Golihii Wakiillada ee kan ka horreeyay iyo kan immika jira. Berigaa hore aad uma aynu maqli jirin Shir-guddoon bal se waxa hawlaha gadh-wadeen ka ahaa oo Golaha hoggaamin jiray: Guddoomiyaha, haddii uu maqan yahayna Guddoomiye-ku-xigeenka 1aad, haddii kaasi maqnaadana Guddoomiye-ku-xigeenka 2aad.

Marka aynu eegno Dastuurka Qaranka, Qodobka 52aad oo ka hadlaya shaqaalaha Golaha Wakiillada, wuxu dhigayaa:

Golaha Wakiilladu wuxu yeelanayaa Xoghayn uu madax ka yahay Xoghaye Guud oo aan ka tirsanayn Golaha Wakiillada, kana kaalmaynaya Shir-guddoonka Golaha hawlaha xafiiska, dhammaan arrimaha maaliyadda iyo maamulka, waxaanu yeelanayaa ku-xigeen,

Intaas ayuu Dastuurka Qaranku ka xusayaa Shir-guddoonkan hawlihii Golaha oo dhan dhex iyo minjaba ku martay. Tan iyo maalintii Golahan Wakiillada ee maanta jiraa hawl-galay, waxaynu ku dhego-barjownay Shir-guddoon saddexan ah oo wax walba iyagu maamula. Xataa mararka qaarkood ayay kuu la ekaanaysaa in aanu jirinba Guddoomiye xil-gudasho gaar ah ku leh Golahani.

Xaaladdani mid iska abuurantay ma aha ee waa mid ka dhalatay hannaankii lagu caaridayay xukuumaddii Daahir Ra’yaale Kaahin. Sidii ayay Hay’addaa Shir-guddoonku u shaqaysaa. Marka aad dhex-qaaddo Xeer-hoosaadka Golaha Wakiilla ee maanta jira, wax sidaa u sii ridan oo faah-faahsan lagama bixin Shir-guddoonkaa oo aan ahayn in awooddiisa lagu xusay Qodobka 17aad oo dhigaya:

Qodobka: 17aad)

Awoodda Shir-gudoonka

Awoodda Shir-gdoonka waxaa caddaynaya Dastuurka iyo Xeer-hoosaadka. Waxa kale oo ka mid ah awoodahooda.

(Faallo: Hadda Dastuurka Qaranku laba jeer oo keliya ayuu xusayaa ereyga Shir-guddoon, waxaanay ku qeexan yihiin Qodobka: 52aad, Faqradaha 1aad iyo 3aad oo keliya. Haddaad Dastuurka dhex qaaddo ma arkaysid meel uu Shir-guddoon awoodo Dastuuriya ku siinayo.)

Inay soo diyariyaan miisaaniyadda Golaha iyaga oo kala tashanaya Guddiga Dhaqaalaha ee Golaha Wakiilada.

2. Inay u xulaan saraakiisha gudan kara xilka jagooyinkan:-

b. Xog-haye guud,

t. Ku-xigeenka xog-hayaha guud iyo shaqaalaha kale ee Golaha,

j. La-taliyaha Sharciga,

x. Iyo la taliyeyaasha kale ee Dastuurku jideeyey.

In ay u magacabaan xubno ka tirsan Golaha Wakiilada hawlo dalka debediisa, ama gudihiisa ah marka loo baahdo. Shir-gudoonku wuxuu xidhiidh la yeelan karaa Shir-gudoonada dhigiisa ah ee ka jira dalalka shisheeyaha ah.'

Hawlaha ku saabsan xidhiidhka dalka debediisa iyo gudihiisaba waxaa hogaaminaya xubinta uu Shir-gudoonku u garto.


Soo diyaarinta anjandaha kal-fadhi kasta ee Golaha Wakiilada.


Xubnaha Shir-guddoonku kama wada maqnaan karaan fadhi-shaqo oo Goluhu leeyahay haddii aanay ku war-gelin Golaha fadhiga maalinta hore.


Awoodda Shir-gudoonka waxa ka mid ah dalacsiinta, darajo hoos u dhigga kala bedelka iyo shaqo ka joojinta shaqaalaha Golaha, markay sidaa ugu muuqato Shirgudoonka ama ay Xoghayaha Guud ka helaan soo jeedin.

Xeer-hoosaadka Golaha Wakiilladu awoodahaas ayuu siinayaa Shir-guddoonka. Bal hadda aynu ag dhigno awoodaha uu siinayo Guddoomiyaha Golaha Wakiillada:

Two Swiss artists have used GPS tracking and live webcam to follow the progress of a parcel intended to reach Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

The Zurich-based group Bitnik posted this x-ray scan of its package: "Dear embassy security, for your convenience please find the x-ray image of the parcel hereby attached."

group of Swiss artists has come up with a novel way to try to communicate with Julian Assange, currently being given asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy: they have sent him a package.

Bitnik, an artist collective based in Zurich, Switzerland, said that its parcel contains “a cell phone, camera and battery pack. Through [the] hole in the packet the camera takes pictures of the packet's surroundings and uploads them to our website.”

The group has been live-tweeting the progress of the package since it was sent Wednesday by postal mail from another London location to the WikiLeaks founder. So far, the group knows that the package has arrived inside the embassy, but it has not been opened yet—WikiLeaks has confirmed it by Twitter as well.

Domajgoj Smoljo, a Swiss media artist who is part of the group, told Ars via Skype from London that the group sees the project as a “radical real-time” piece of performance art. “We see the camera as something which produces a performance stage, where [Assange] can interact with the public,” he said. “We think Assange knows how to deal with this situation. We are happy if he just holds it outside of his room and pretends it’s normal.”

He said the group was inspired by other 4chan/Anonymous-style gags, which involved sending pizzas and taxis to the Ecuadorian Embassy on the day that Assange received asylum.

So we have this diplomatic crisis, with the UK government trying to arrest him as soon as he leaves,” Smoljo said. “We wanted to discuss this in an artistic way and feature this discussion inside, with our artistic impression. We’re not activists, we don’t have to claim a political position. We are artists. But, we can go inside and try to create a situation where things are possible.”Domagoj Smoljo and Carmen Weisskopf have posted updates on the parcel's progress online.

At the time of writing, the parcel had reached the embassy and appeared to be being checked over by security.

For the past seven months Mr Assange has taken refuge at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

He faces extradition to Sweden over sexual assault claims, which he denies.

We wanted to visualise the invisible journey a parcel takes through the postal system”

The artists posted the parcel at a post office in east London on Wednesday at 12:43 GMT. Later, they emailed Mr Assange to explain the project.

"The parcel is a live mail art piece. It is intended as REAL_WORLD_PING, a SYSTEM_TEST inserted into a highly tense diplomatic crisis," the email read, making reference to program code functions.

"Since you took refuge there in June last year, the Ecuadorean embassy in London has been the spectacular staging of an intense clash between the international order and freedom of information activists.

"We want to see where the parcel will end. Which route it takes and whether it reaches you."

The artists requested that Mr Assange use the camera to "show us your view of the diplomatic crisis unfolding outside the embassy".

When finished, Mr Assange has been encouraged to send the camera on to another person of his choosing.

Prior to its arrival, the package broadcast pictures of its position within a Royal Mail sorting office - before being put into the back of a van and taken across the city.

The GPS locator tracked the parcel as getting to Mr Assange via the South London Mail Centre Artist Ms Weisskopf told the BBC that they did not know what to expect when they sent the parcel.

"We were actually expecting everything, from the parcel not being accepted to it being taken out of the system and destroyed," she said.

Explaining the motivation behind the project, she added: "We like to experiment with technological systems and see how far we can take them. We wanted to visualise the invisible journey a parcel takes through the postal system."

Sorting office staff can be seen in some of the photographs taken. The Royal Mail told the BBC it had no comment on the project - or whether it would encourage similar tracking or broadcasting of parcels.

FBI says Oregon bomb suspect originally wanted to blow himself up

Mohamed Osman Mohamud

(Reuters) - A Somali-born man charged in a Christmas-season bomb plot in Oregon was eager to "martyr" himself in a suicide mission, but FBI agents posing as al Qaeda operatives talked him into a plan to set off explosives remotely instead, one of them testified on Tuesday.


Returning to the witness stand on the second day of testimony in the trial of Mohamed Osman Mohamud, an undercover agent identified in court only by his pseudonym, Youssef, recounted offering the defendant a number of chances to back out of the plot.

But Mohamud's determination to forge ahead with a plan to bomb a crowded outdoor Christmas tree-lighting ceremony on November 26, 2010, in Portland never seemed to waver, Youssef testified.

The prosecution also played for the jury a brief videotaped message by Mohamud, recorded by his undercover FBI handlers about four weeks before the planned attack, in which he grimly states: "A dark day is coming your way."

Mohamud, a naturalized U.S. citizen and former Oregon State University student who was 19 at the time, is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in an FBI sting operation criticized by defense lawyers as a blatant case of government entrapment.

If convicted, Mohamud, now 21, faces a maximum penalty of life in prison.

An FBI affidavit filed in the case says Mohamud was arrested after he tried to use a cellphone to detonate what he believed was a car bomb but was actually a harmless fake supplied by Youssef and a fellow FBI agent.

Youssef passed himself off as an al Qaeda recruiter, while his undercover FBI partner posed as an al Qaeda bomb expert named Hussein, according to testimony.

The fake bomb was planted in a van near a downtown square lined with shops and offices and crowded with thousands of people attending the holiday festivities, though authorities say the public was never in any real danger.

'YOUR PEOPLE WILL NOT REMAIN SAFE'

In opening statements as the trial got under way last week, defense attorney Stephen Sady argued that his client would never have tried to carry out a bombing on his own and that the FBI "created a crime that would have never happened without them."

But in FBI testimony and in secretly recorded video and audio tapes of his meetings with undercover agents, Mohamud was shown by the prosecution as an eager participant who originally wanted to "martyr" himself by driving a bomb-packed van into the outdoor plaza and blowing himself up with it.

Spectators and members of the media were ordered out of the courtroom and into a nearby chamber to watch the proceedings on closed-circuit television during testimony by Youssef, who remained off camera to protect his identity.

Under questioning by assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight, the agent said he and his colleague grew concerned at one point because they considered Mohamud to be "suicidal, and we don't want him to take matters into his own hands."

In a video clip of Mohamud and his FBI handlers sharing a meal in a hotel room, the two agents are heard convincing Mohamud that he could ultimately do more to help "the cause" by staying alive. "We want to keep you for awhile," Hussein says in the video. "We think there's some things you can do better than just one time."

They also discussed sending Mohamud off to a Muslim country after November 26 in a move Youssef testified was aimed at giving Mohamud something to look forward to beyond the planned bombing.

In a separate video the agents filmed of Mohamud in his Corvallis, Oregon, apartment on November 4, Mohamud stood before the camera wearing a camouflaged jacket over a white tunic, with a red-and-white checkered scarf wound atop his head to deliver a solemn goodbye message.

Speaking first in Arabic and then in English in a statement he addressed to the West he said: "A dark day is coming your way. ... Your people will not remain safe."

Addressing other Muslims residing among non-believers in the United States, he added: "Living here is a sin." To his parents, he declared, "Nothing you do will hold me back."

At another point, the agents showed Mohamud a purported Islamist militant training video, which actually was produced by the FBI, depicting men with scarf-covered faces shooting guns, and one setting off a bomb with a cellphone detonator. Youssef said Mohamud's response to the video was that "it was beautiful."
