Charity plans new projects in drought-hit Horn of Africa

Ahmed Shaaban / 13 March 2013

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Humanitarian Charity Establishment (MHCE) will undertake developmental projects in Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya.

The six projects planned will help the people in the Horn of Africa resist drought and famine.

These initiatives include digging and maintaining 73 water wells, apart from a mega project for developing irrigation ditches, and providing poor families with production facilities.

The projects represent the fourth stage of the ‘Help Them’ campaign which the charity launched in 2011 for helping the drought- and famine-hit countries.

“These projects are valued at Dh6.9 million,” said Ibrahim Bu Melha, Adviser to the Ruler of Dubai for Cultural and Humanitarian Affairs and Chairman of the MHCE Board of Trustees.

The MHCE would launch the fifth stage of the campaign in a month, he said. There will be bigger and more extensive development projects in the fifth stage.

Bu Melha expected that most fourth stage projects would be finished in a month because they needed time to be purchased and distributed to the beneficiaries. The water wells and clinic projects would be accomplished within six months, he said.

Some 20 water wells had already been restored in seven Somali provinces, including three in the north, two in the middle, along with Shebli and Bai governorates which were most affected by the drought, he said.

“These water wells, worth around Dh3 million, will help 250,000 Somalis return to their original areas.”

As for the irrigation ditches project, it is being carried out in some other provinces. “This spans the construction of 15km-long concert waterway — 1.5m wide and 2m deep.

“The waterway, branching out from the river, helps around 5,000 farmers to irrigate their farms and plants via big pumps,” he added.

Meanwhile, the charity has dug 33 water wells, worth Dh415,000 in Ethiopia. “We have also dug 20 water wells, worth Dh117,000 in Djibouti, and purchased a 6-tonne vehicle for transporting water from the river to water tanks in Kenya, besides other projects, all worth Dh350,000.” Bu Melha said.

“The establishment has also distributed 20 water tanks with the capacity of 100,000 gallons of water, as well as 100 carts for transporting water to villages and camps.”

Bu Melha said as many as 200 Somali families were benefiting from the cows and goats projects, valued at Dh442,000 and Dh368,000 in turn. “We have also distributed sewing machines worth Dh276,000 to 300 families in Somalia.”

Telling women to get a gun is not rape prevention

By zerlina

Trigger Warning

On Tuesday night, I appeared on Hannity in a segment framed around the idea that giving women guns is the solution to ending rape. I was on with Independent Women’s Forum’s Gayle Trotter who recently made the point that women need guns for self defense from rape and gun violence prevention is infringing on their second Amendment rights, as well as, putting them at greater risk for domestic violence and rape.

Obviously, I disagreed. Giving every woman a gun is not rape prevention. If a woman chooses to go out and buy a legal gun for self-defense, that’s fine. But that shouldn’t be confused with actual prevention, which is really about stopping rapes before they happen and focusing on the sole party responsible: the rapist.

Since Tuesday, I’ve been bombared by conservatives on Facebook and Twitter purposefully misquoting and misunderstanding my point in order to call me dumb, bitch, idiot, and at worst threaten to gang rape common sense into me. Charming.

My point still stands whether conservatives want to acknowledge it or not. So when I said:

“I think that the entire conversation is wrong. I don’t want anybody to be telling women anything. I don’t want men to be telling me what to wear and how to act, not to drink. And I don’t, honestly, want you to tell me that I needed a gun in order to prevent my rape. In my case, don’t tell me if I’d only had a gun, I wouldn’t have been raped. Don’t put it on me to prevent the rape.”

I meant it.

London: Tottenham house party stabbing victim Ibrahim Ali 'came to UK to escape violence'

By Josh Loeb and Justin Davenport - the Evening Standard- The family of a young man stabbed to death in a fight at a party in north London told today how they had brought their son to Britain to escape bloodshed in Somalia.

Stabbed: Ibrahim Ali died in house party brawl

Ibrahim Ali, 20, died in hospital after being airlifted from the scene of the brawl in Tottenham in the early hours of Mothers’ Day on Sunday. Four other young men were injured with knife wounds.
Today his mother Hindi, 43, said a lack of jobs and an atmosphere of “hopelessness” was forcing young people to follow the “wrong path” and turn to criminality.
She said: “When the youth don’t have jobs they have to find other ways of making money because they feel suffocated and unable to do anything else.
“I would like the government to work more to establish peace in this country. We left Somalia because there was a war and to establish a better life here, but we haven’t felt very peaceful because of this incident and the danger for other young boys.”
Ibrahim, a former pupil at Seven Sisters Primary and Park View Academy in Tottenham, had passed his driving theory test just weeks before his death and was hoping to find work in the IT sector. His sister, Fadumo, 21, said he had applied for several jobs but kept getting refused.
She said her brother had spoken to her shortly before he was killed about his desire to get a job and improve his life, adding that other young men should “learn a lesson” from his untimely death.
She said: “A couple of days ago Ibrahim told me he wanted to change and be a better person. He had so many ambitions. He really wanted to make my mum happy, because my mum is a person who has just struggled and been through so much.
“Maybe he didn’t go about it the right way but all his friends and enemies alike would agree he was a very kind hearted person and was always the one to stop a fight if it broke out. He was never the one to start the chaos because he was very shy.”

Fadumo said the murder was “the most painful, traumatic thing that has ever happened to us”.
She added: “I keep waking up and thinking it’s a nightmare, and then I go on Facebook and I realise it’s real. There’s this feeling in the house like something’s missing.”
But she said her brother’s death had “brought us together as a family,” adding: “We don’t want to be the kind of family that is muted by grief.”

She and her friend Alima Ashfaq have now set up a charitable appeal in her brother’s name and are trying to raise thousands of pounds to build wells in parts of Africa where clean drinking water is scarce.

She added: “I think these murders are now so common in London people have become accustomed to them, which I think is a disgrace.”

Pink smoke released over Vatican protesting lack of women priests

By Katie - The release of black smoke, and not white smoke, from The Vatican chimney signified that a new pope had not been named. But what was the meaning of the less visible and less discussed pink smoke released over The Vatican? It was a protest against The Vatican’s refusal to ordain women priests.


Erin Saiz Hanna, the director of the Women’s Ordination Conference, which staged the protest and has been advocating for the ordination of women for three decades, stated,

“The current old boys’ club has left our Church reeling from scandal, abuse, sexism and oppression…. The people of the Church are desperate for a leader who will be open to dialogue and embrace the gifts of women’s wisdom in every level of Church governance.”

Miriam Duignan, Communications coordinator of the association ‘Women can be priests’ said,

“The Catholic church should be a healthy and vibrant place with equality, with both men and women called to the priesthood. Jesus did not exclude women. Jesus encouraged women and actively sought to include them…. So why do the cardinals who are supposed to represent Jesus, make a point of actively excluding women, of telling them to be quiet? And of criminalising anybody that speaks out in favour of women priests?”

Therese Koturbash, the international ambassador of the organization Women Priests explained, “[t]he pink smoke is a sign of the voices we’re mourning who are excluded from the current conclave.” Despite the Church’s intransigence and Pope Benedict’s crack down on the ordination of women, Koturbash is hopeful: “Already there have been so many changes that have happened in the church, that it wouldn’t be a big step to start including women.”

Not to be a downer, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. A potential pope, the Canadian cardinal Marc Ouellet, said that the issue of women in The Church is “secondary.” Good to know.

South Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti Agree On Oil Route for Export

A tripartite agreement was reached late afternoon on Tuesday that will enable South Sudan to start exporting crude oil through ports in Djibouti, crossing inland Ethiopia, sources disclosed to Fortune. Representatives from the three countries have signed a memorandum of understanding at the Addis Abeba Hilton on March 12, 2013.

Oil Minister Stephen

Abrahame Tekeste (PhD), state minister for Finance & Economic Development; Elizabeth James Bol, deputy minister of Petroleum & Mining for South Sudan; and Aboubaker Omar Hadi, chairman of Ports & Free Zones Authority of Djibouti, have negotiated the deal that lets South Sudan export crude oil, transporting it with trucks all the way to the Red Sea Port of Douraleh. If carried out accordingly, South Sudan will start supplying crude oil to the world market beginning July 2013, sources familiar with the deal disclosed.

South Sudan had stopped exporting oil for over a year after its fallout with North Sudan over disagreements on border issues and fees the North used to charge for letting the South use its oil pipelines and facilities. Although leaders of both countries signed an agreement in Addis Abeba late last year, experts foresaw the reopening of pipelines taking more time than originally anticipated. Exporting crude oil by trucks through Djibouti is designed as a temporary response until the pipelines are reopened for service, a senior official from South Sudan told Fortune.

European Union Naval Force Somalia: Force Commander of EU Naval Force Reinforces Role of Operation Atalanta in EU Comprehensive Approach to Somalia

press release

During a port visit to Djibouti by Spanish EU Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) flagship ESPS Méndez Núnez, and warship ESPS Rayo, Force Commander Rear Admiral Pedro García de Paredes held meetings with other EU leaders to demonstrate the commitment of EU NAVFOR to work together with other missions towards a common goal of improving security and stability in Somalia.

On Sunday 3 March, Rear Admiral Pedro García de Paredes hosted a meeting on board ESPS Rayo with Admiral Jacques Launay, the Head of Mission for EUCAP Nestor. EUCAP Nestor is a civilian mission aimed at strengthening the Rule of Law in Somalia, with an initial focus on the regions of Puntland and Somaliland, and developing the maritime capacities of Djibouti, Kenya, and the Seychelles.

Afterwards, the Force Commander hosted a meeting on board ESPS Méndez Núnez with Mr Maciej Popowski, the Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS) and Mr Walter Stevens, who is the Head of the Crisis Management and Planning Directorate (CMPD) at EEAS.

During the meeting Rear Admiral García de Paredes highlighted the success that Operation Atalanta and other counter-piracy forces are having in the High Risk Area, with pirate attacks down from 176 in 2011 to 35 by the end of 2012. However, the Force Commander reiterated that there is still much work to be done by those involved in countering piracy off Somalia, with the recent disruptions by EU NAVFOR demonstrating that pirates still have the will and means to deploy to sea.

Following the meeting a number of EU ambassadors and diplomats based in Djibouti, along with representatives of the embassies of the US and Japan, local authorities, the Commander of the French Forces in Djibouti (FFDJ) and the Head of Mission of EUCAP NESTOR, came on board ESPS Méndez Núnez for lunch.

In the afternoon Djiboutian and Somali journalists were welcomed on board. They were briefed on counter-piracy operations off Somalia and given the opportunity for a question & answer session with Rear Admiral Pedro García de Paredes, Mr Maciej Popowski and the Head of the EU Delegation in Djibouti, Mr Joseph Silva. Mr Popowski completed his regional visit with a call to the Support Element Atalanta (SEA) facilities and the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) detachments at the Air Base.

n 4 March, Rear Admiral García de Paredes paid a visit to the Commander of the French Forces in Djibouti (FFDJ), Brigadier General William Kurtz. The EU Naval Force Commander thanked General Kurtz for the permanent support to the German and Spanish MPRA Detachments provided by the French Forces in Djibouti. The EU NAVFOR MPRA detachments play a crucial part in Operation Atalanta by gathering and providing intelligence information and pictures.

Qoraaga ruug-cadaaga ah ee reer Somaliland isla markaana ah qoraa heer caalami ah Maxamed Baashe Xaaji Xasan ayaa qoraal cilmiyaysan

Maxamed Baashe Xaaji Xasan, an International Writer

London (Halbeegnews)–11/03/2013– Qoraaga ruug-cadaaga ah ee reer Somaliland isla markaana ah qoraa heer caalami ah Maxamed Baashe Xaaji Xasan ayaa qoraal cilmiyaysan oo uu warbaahinta usoo gudbiyey wuxuu ka hadlay warqad uu Ra'isal wasaaraha Soomaaliya Cabdi Faarax Shirdoon Saacid dhawaan u diray dawladda maraykanka oo uu kaga codsanaayey in dhiig yacabkii gumaaday kumanaanka reer Somaliland Maxamed Cali Samatar la siiyo maamuus diblomaasiyadeed si uu uga badbaado xukunkii maxkamadda ee gobolka Virginia

Qoraa Sare Maxamed Baashe Xaaji Xasan

Haddaba qoraalkaasi qoraa sare Maxamed Baashe Xaaji Xasan uu warbaahinta ugu tallo-gallay oo nuqul ka mid ah uu soo gaadhsiiyey shabakaddani caalamiga ah Halbeegnews ayaa wuxuu la magac baxay qoraalkaasi "Difaaca Cali Samatar: Ma Awel Bay Dareenkayga Akhriyi Kari Jireen?!" waxana isagoo dhamaystiran uu u dhigna sidani:

"Warqadda dawladda Soomaaliya ku difaacayso Cali Samatar ee ay dhowaan u dirtay Arrimaha Dibedda ee Maraykanku, waa astaan kale oo xoojinaysa sii-yaallo hore oo badnaa !

Madaxda Soomaalidu guud ahaan si wanaagsan uma akhriyi yaaqaanan dareenka shucuubta, gaar ahaan Madaxda Soomaalidii Talyaanigu gumaysan jirey (Soomaaliya) waa ka agnaan in ay akhriyaan dareenka aadmiga, taxgeliyaanna duug-yaalka xanafta iyo hurgumooyinka badan ee hore u dhacay ama hadda ba oogan. Is taawintooda iyo awoodda ay markaas is bidayaan ayaa ka indhosaabta xaqiiqo kasta oo jirta.

"Mayd maxaa u dambeeyey" iyo "kaas la sii sido"! Raysal wasaare Cabdi Faarax Shirdoon (Saacid), waxa weedhihiisa warqadda difaac ee Cali Samatar ku qorani ka dhigan yihiin halqabsiga ah " mulac na waa ku qudh gooyo, carruur na waa ku cayaayir"! Waxa uu leeyahay Cali Samatar dambiile ma aha oo mas'uul qaran buu ahaa, taas oo macnaheeda yahay "dembi meesha kama dhicin"! 1969 – 1990 Cali Samatar waxa uu ahaa gacanta midig ee Maxamed Siyaad Barre iyo ku xigeenkiisa koowaad. 1982 – 1986-kii na mar na waxa uu ahaa wasiirka gaashaandhigga, mar na raysal wasaare. Sannadahaas, waxa Somaliland ka dhacay gumaadyo aan kala sooc lahayn oo dil iyo xasuuq isugu jira, xadhig iyo silicdil xaaduqnimo oo dhabbaha u xaadhayey dabargoyntii weynayd iyo burburintii bahalnimo ee 1988 – 1989, oo ku suntan xasuuqii ugu weynaa ee dawladi dadkeeda ku qaaddo taariikhda Soomaalida abidkeed!
Bahal caydhin ma daayo, nin na caaddi ma baajo!

Arrinta Saacid waxa ay i xasuusinaysaa dhacdooyin hore oo kala dambeeyey. Aqoonsiga Maraykan ee dawladdiisa taagta daran ee wada finka iyo gaatirta miidhan ah, ayaa damac malloollinnimo ku abuurtay.

Jan 1988 markii Maxamed Siyaad Barre iyo Mingistihii Itoobiya Djabuuti ku heshiiyeen (Halkani Guji Heshiiskii Siyaad Barre iyo Abtidoon Oo Daawo Video) ayaa tan oo kale ku dhalatay cindigii waallaa ee damacu keenada u hayn jirey ee Maxamed Siyaad Barrihii halligmay, Soomaali na galaaftay. Sidan ay haatan ba wada hadalladu ugu socdaan dawladda Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland, ayaa berigaa na waxa wada hadallo u socdaan Maxamed Siyaad Barre iyo SNM, iyo dhinaca kale gadh-casta Isaaq iyo Maxamed Siyaad Barre. Duqu (Maxamed Siyaad) wuu danaynayey markii hore wada hadalladaas, hase yeeshee markii uu Mingiste la heshiiyey ayay wax kale is tuseen. Waxa uu is moodsiiyey inuu adkaaday oo uu guusha kala hoyan doono nimankii ay is hayeen. Dareenkiisa waxa maanso ku cabbiray Cabdulqaadir Xirsi Yamyam, Alle ha u naxariisto'e, oo markaas siyaasadda Maxamed Siyaad la safnaa, yidhi na maalintaas:

"Gudgudaa i miray xalay
Daruur baa i guud timid
Wixii balli galsho lahaa
Xareed baa ka galac tiri"!
Isna Alle ha u naxariisto'e, waxa dhinaca kale gammuun gafuurro waabay ah jiidanaya Yamyam iyo Maxamed Siyaad ku halgaad wareemay Ibraahim Maxamuud Aw Saleebaan "Gadhle" oo ka soo jeeday safka kale (SNM). Yidhi na dharaartaas:

"Guluf baa ku miray xalay
Madfac baa ku guud yimi
Intii balli galsho lahayd
Dhiig baa ka galac yidhi"!!

Wixii dhacay baa dabadeed ka dhacay!! Raysal wasaare Cabdi Faarax Shirdoon na marag u ahaa!

Waa ayaandarro in Shirdoon akhriyi kari waayo dareennadaas ka dhashay intii uu goobjoogga u ahaa, isaga oo weli ba sannadihii dambe dawladdaas ka mid ahaa oo wax badan xogogaal u ahaa.
Sula iyo Xasuusteeda!

Cabdirisaaq X. Xuseen, Cabdirashiid Cali Sharma'arke iyo Maxamed Siyaad Barre ba hora ayay ugu mergadeen in ay dareenka Hargeysa u dhugma yeeshaan oo si wanaagsan u arkhriyaan.

1961 ayaa Cabdirisaaq booqasho ku yimid Gobolladii Waqooyi. Cabdillaahi Suldaan Timacadde, oo soomaalinnimadu dhiigga iyo dhuuxiisa ku millayd, ayaa ka mid ahaa dadkii Cabdirisaaq Gabiley ku soo dhowaynayey. Geeraar taariikhi ah oo isugu dhafan soo dhowayn, maamuus, martisoor, hawaala warran, hogatus, talo, duco, digniin iyo dardaaran , ayuu Timacadde durduursiiyey maankii Cabdirisaaq. Digniinta ayaan maanta u jeedaaye, Timacadde oo u taagan carooggii iyo afhayeenkii dareenka dadka, waxa uu goobtaas ka yidhi yidhi:

"Maalintii dabku qiiqay
Een isticmaarkii is diidnay
Nimankii danta sheegtaye
Dariiqooda ka leexane
Dacwaddooda dhammaystaye
Dalkan caawa la joogo
Dulligii isticmaarkiyo
Karel daaqad ka saaraye
Duddadaannu ahayne
Dawlad soo gashay ma ihine
Danteennaa laba diiddaye
Dabuub aannu maqlaynay
Dareen baan ka qabnaaye
Dugsigii barlamaankiyo
Dekaddii Xamar baa leh
Berbera daadku ha qaado
Doonniyi yaanay ku weecan
Labadaas kala daaya oo
Yaan la daymo la'aan"!
"Iska hadlow Ina Igarre"!
Timacadde cidi ba kama gurin oo wax ba kama hoos qaadin.

Lix sannadood ka dib, ayaa mar kale, waxa Cadan booqasho ku tegey Cabdirashiid Cali Sharma'arke. Waxa soo dhowaysay Jaaliyaddii Cadan ee Soomaalida. Dharaartaa na dadkii Cabdirashiid soo dhoweeyey waxa ka mid ahaa Ismaaciil Xalleef, oo isna Alle ha u naxariisto'e dareenkii dadka cabbirayey, yidhi na:

Rashiid Ina Sharma'arkow diktoor raahibaad tahaye
Rabbi iyo Rasuul iyo dadku ba raalli kaa noqoye
Raasiga Berbera waa wadnaha Reer Woqooyiga 'e
Kol haddaad Kismaayo u rartaan reerku kala guurye!!
"Ka gur Qaafo bay tidhi"!
Ismaaciil Xalleef dareen hadal ye, yaa se ka guray!

1981, waxa Hargeysa lagu xidhxidhay dhallinyaradii "UFFO". Iskaa wax u qabso, ayay u oogsadeen in ay ku baylah tiraan dib u dhicii qaangaadhay ee adeegyada bulsheed. 20-kii Feb 1982 dharaartii dhallintaas maxkamadda la keeni lahaa, ayaa gadood ardayeed ka bilaabmay Hargeysa. 1dii May isla sannadkaas Burco ayaa dhaqaaqday oo Hargeysa ku soo xidhantay.

Axmed Saleebaan Dafle, Axmed Maxamuud Faarax (Laxwas) AHUN, Jaamac Gaas Mucaawiye (Dadweyne) AHUN, iyo Xasan Suudi rag ay ka mid ahaayeen, ayuu talisku u soo diray gobolladii Waqooyi.

Cali Sugulle "Duncarbeed" ayaa berigaas na dareenkii shacbiga mas'uuliyiintaas tix ugu xiddeeyey, yidhi na:

Ina soo Dafiyo
Ina Daylo kude
Dulli Jaamac Gaas
Guulwade dadbane
Iyagaa dulmanoo
Loo doodayee
Maxay doonayeen
Dekaddii Berbera
Way dalooshantee
Ma daboolayaan?!!

Dareen la akhriyo ha joogto'e, waxa ay jawaabtii talisku noqotay xadhig, jujuub, dil iyo dacas iyo xaaq wadareed oo horseeday burbur iyo kala gurashada maanta.

Shirdoon na, ayaandarro, waxa uu maanta laasimayaa ballaysinkaas hore. Waxa uu raacayaa jidkaas qodaxda badnaa. Difaaciisa Cali Samatar waa duudsiga dhibbanayaashii godka hoose iyo qubuuraha u guuray iyo inta nool ee ay quluubta kaga daabacan yihiin hadimooyinkii dhacay ee ladhka iyo doogtu kol ba ku soo kacayaan. Taas bay hadallada Shirdoon damqayaan oo qunbacasho ku keenayaan!

Dacawooyinkaa badan; boqol baa ku daba jira!

Magaca Qaranka Soomaaliyeed iyo calankii dadka ka dhexeeyey ayaa lagu galay oo loo cuskaday wixii dunuub waa weyn aralada ka dhacay ee lagu gabagabeeyey. Waa danuub dawladi dadkeedii ka gashay. Ma ahayn wax reero iyo qabaa'il u dhexeeyaa wixii dhacay. Maamulkaasi cid wali ba way ka mid ahayd, cid baanay taladu ka go'aysay. Cali Samatar na waa ka mid. Waa mas'uulkii ugu horreeyey ee dacwad lagu soo oogay ee dambiyadii loo haystay qaar ka mid ah lagu helay, ma se noqon doono mas'uulkii ugu dambeeyey ee dambiyada loo haysto lagu soo oogo. Cali Samatar waxa uu maanta noqonayaa wixii uu ahaa markii uu amarrada bixinayey ee xasuuqa ka talinayey. Reer hebel muu ahayn ee waxa uu ahaa Sarreeye Guuto Maxamed Cali Samatar oo madaxweyne ku xigeen ah, wasiir gaashaan dhigeed ah, raysal wasaare ah iwm.

Halka doobi la la maro
Haddaan raacdo daba gurin
Ninka dabin ka boodka ah
Haddaan diirad lagu helin!!
Qof ay cidi dambiile u taqaanno, ayay cid kale halyey u taqaannaa!

Dawladda aqoonsiga ka heshay USA ee Soomaaliya, waxa soo baxaya wejigeedii runta ahaa. Caadsaarka gabbood falkii iyo gumaadkii dalka ka dhacay iyo isu soo taagga difaaca ciddii loo aanaynayey ayaa tusaale wacan ah. Dawladda Soomaaliya waxa u halyeeyo ah Cali Samatar oo miidhan. Waa dawladdii laga doonayey wada hadal iyo dib u heshiin. Soomaaliya iyo dadkeeda ayaa u jeellan dib u nabadayn iyo wada hadallo isu tanaasulaad keena. Soomaaliya iyo Somalilannd ayaa wada hadal iyo heshiisyo u baahan. Hase yeeshee sidee taasi u suurta gelaysaa kolka garaabitaan ha joogo'e weli lagu sii indho adag yahay jidkii hore ciinka loogu daaqay.

Labada shacab (Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland) waa walaalo dulmi badani ku wada dhacay si loo kala badsado ba. Waa hubaal in waxyaalo badan hoos loo kala tirsan karo. Meel wal ba way joogi karaan mas'uuliyiin cid gaar ahi dembiyo u tirinayso intii dawladdii keli taliska ahayd jirtay iyo intii ka dambaysay ee dagaallada sokeeye ba arlada ka dhisaallaayeen. Wax se muhiim ah in la ogaado in ay khalad marjuuc ah tahay in la isku gudbaa cid dembi loo haysto oo lagu soo oogey meel sharcigu cid kasta ka sarreeyo oo aan baqdin looga qabin in eedaysanahaas lagu xad-gubo.

Cali Samatar ma aha in lagu xad gud baa, waa se eedaysane USA ugu tegey oo la dersay dad wax u sheeganaya. Maxkamad ayaa la isla koray oo toban sano ku dhowaad socotay. Dembiyadii badh baa lagu helay.

* Hadda ba maxaa dabada ka riixaya Shirdoon iyo inta kale ee la midka ah?! Ma dembiga ayay badh ku lahaayeen oo waa "layligu biyaha kashiisa ku jiruu ka didaa"?!

*Ma ka daacad baa oo waxa ay qabaan in aanu dembiile ahayn?! Dawladdii Maxamed Siyaad Barre ba in aanay wax ba ba dhimin miyay tolow qabaan. Ta dhakada kale noqonaysaa waa taas!

Wada hadallada Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland waxa dul hoganaya daruuro madmadow. Dawladda sida u macaamilaysaa sida ay daacad uga noqon karto ayay su'aali saaran tahay?! Dad badan oo niyadsami ku soo dhowaynayey ayay arrimahani tuhun gelinayaan. Awel ba kalsoonidu dhimaad bay ahayd, hadda na way ka sii durki halkii. Aamusnaanta badan ee golayaasha qaranka Somaliland (Xukuumadda, Wakiillada iyo Guurtida) ayaa ba tuhun kale dad badan ku abuuraysa. Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibedda Somaliland oo ayaa si guud mar ah ereyo kooban arrintan culus uga tidhi ilaa hadda ogaalkayga.

Arrinta cunaqabataynta hubka ee Soomaaliya laga qaaday bay madaxda Somaliland buunbuuninaysaa oo ay ka hadlayaan, ta difaaca Cali Samatar na way ka gaaf wareegayaan! Tan lafteeda ayaa ba dhako kale ah! Iyagu ba waa mas'uuliyiin aan dareenka dadkooda akhriyi karin saw ma odhan karno. Runtu ma fantaa! Saw noqon mayno haddii kale "maroodigu takarta saaran ma arko'e maroodiga kale ta saaran buu arkaa"!

Dawladda Soomaaliya iyo mas'uuliyiinteedu ha bartaan dareenkayga, dawladda Somaliland ee wada hadallada kula jirtaa na ha akhrido dareenka dadkeeda! Haddii kale "waa cayaar nin ba cayn u tumayaa"!

"Ma cafiye ma caafimaado na" waan aqaannaa oo nin dil geed iigu xidhan baan damiinan karaa, waa se goorma, goorteed!

WHO confirms 15th case of deadly new virus in Saudi Arabia

By Kate Kelland
LONDON (Reuters) - A Saudi man infected with a deadly new virus from the same family as SARS has died, becoming the ninth patient in the world to be killed the disease which has so far infected 15, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday.

The 39-year-old developed symptoms of the novel coronavirus (NCoV) on February 24 and died on March 2, several days after being hospitalized, the WHO said in a disease outbreak update.

NCoV is from the same family of viruses as those that cause common colds and the one that caused the deadly outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that first emerged in Asia in 2003. The new virus is not the same as SARS, but similar to it and also to other coronaviruses found in bats.

The WHO first issued an international alert in September after the virus infected a Qatari man in Britain who had recently been in Saudi Arabia.

Symptoms of NCoV include severe respiratory illness, fever, coughing and breathing difficulties.

"Preliminary investigation indicated that the (latest Saudi)patient had no contact with previously reported cases of NCoV infection," the WHO said. "Other potential exposures are under investigation."

Nine of the 15 people confirmed to have been infected with NCoV have died. Most cases have been in the Middle East or in patients who had recently traveled there.

Research by scientists in Europe has found that NCoV is well adapted to infecting humans and may be treatable with medicines similar to the ones used for SARS, which killed a tenth of the 8,000 people it infected.

The Geneva-based WHO said it was monitoring the situation closely and urged its member states to continue surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections and to carefully review any unusual patterns.

"WHO is currently working with international experts and countries where cases have been reported to assess the situation and review recommendations for surveillance and monitoring," it said, adding that national authorities should "promptly assess and notify" it of any new NCoV cases.
