Markii ay rabshaduhu ka socdeen waddanka Kosofo (Kosovo), sanadihii sagaashanaadkii ayaa dawladaha waaweyn ee dunidu ka sameysteen saldhigyo waddanka Albaaaniya (Albania). Saldhigyadaa waxa lagu diyaariyey raashin, gogol iyo agabkii ay u baahan lahaayeen qaxootiga la filayo iney ka soo qaxaan dalka Koosofo oo ka soo yaaci doona dagaalka sii xoogeysanaya. Sidii diyaar garowgaa loogu jirey ee caalamku iskugu diyaarinayey iney Albaaniya noqoto meesha lagu marti gelin doono 2 malyuun oo qof oo Koosofo ka soo qaxa, ayaa Albaaniya lafteedii burburtey oo dadkeedii qaxooti noqdeen. Waxa aan lagu xisaabtamin in Albaaniya lafteeda ay heysteen dhibaatooyin badan oo hoose oo siyaasadeed, shaqo la’aan iyo rajo xumo la soo gudboonaatey dhalinyaradii. Waxa lagu mashquulsanaa uun intii hore dagaalka muuqda ee Kosofo ka socda ee hoosba looma eegin dhibaatooyinka heystey shicibka Albaaniya. Waxa meeshii ka dhacdey dadkii oo Albaaniya ka qaxa, dagaal cusub oo ka bilaabma iyo dhibaato hor leh. Dibaatada uugu weyn ee Albaaniya ka dhacdey waxa horseedey farsamo xumo ay dawladeedu isku qufushey uun dhibaatada ka taagan Kosofo, balse aaney hoosba u eegin in dhibaatooyin nooc kale ihi ay ka taagan yihiin dalka gudihiisa, loona baahanyahay in hoos loo eego.

Sideedaba hoggaamintu kama soo hadho odoroska mustaqbalka iyo inu qofka hogaamiyaha ihi karti u yeesho inu sii maleyn karo ama ogaan karo waxa ku soo socda. Waxa maanta taagan waa wax soo bilaabmey wakhti tegey oo an iminka arkeyno uun natiijadii. Waxa berri dhici doona iyo xaaladda lagu sugnaan doonaana waa wax maanta bilaabmey ama bilaabmaya.

Haddii kartidaado la heer noqoto waxa markaa taagan, waxa ay la macno tahey inaadan umad u horseedi karin barwaaqo iyo mustaqbal wanaagsan.Dibaatada u weyn ee Somaliland la soo gudboonaan karta maaha in Muqdisho iyo koonfuri soo weerari doonaan oo ay dalka qabsan doonaan. Mana aha in cid kale oo sadeexaadi ay xoog ku muquunin doonto. Dhibka koowaad ee Soomaaliland ka hor iman doonaa waa mid ay abuurtey xaalad iyo dhibaato mujtamac oo haddaan iminka laga hor tegin dhowr sanadood dabadood qarxi doonta.

Hadaf umadi yeelato oo ay higsato waxa uugu muhiimsan HORUMAR ku saleysan Cadaalad, Sinaan iyo Madaxbanaani. Horumarku waxa uu keenayaa in dhaqaaluhu kor u kaco, nolosha mujtamucu wanaagsanato oo ay heer sareeya gaadho, aqoonta, farsamada iyo tignoolojiyadu sarreyso, caafimaadku wanaagsanaado, dadka wax soo saarkiisuna kor u kaco. Waxa kale oo uu keenayaa in daku, gaar ahaan dhalinyaradu hesho shaqooyin u qalma. Haddii horumar sareeya la gaadhi waayo, waxa badanaya jahliga, dadka xanuunsanaya ayaa iyana kordhaya, shaqo la’aanta ayaa badaneysa oo keeneysa in wax soosaarku yaraado, waxaana adkaaneysa inad dalkaaga ka difaacdo gardaro ku timaadda maadaama itaalkaaga iyo dhaqaalahaaguba hooseeyaan.

Haddii intaa an kor ku sheegey sax kuula muuqato, muxuu markaa yahay cadowgaagu? Jawaabtu waa horumar la’aan la soo gudboonaato dalka iyo ummadda oo ay keentay shaqo la’aan iyo awooddii dadka oo aaan laga faa’iideysan, niyad jab jiilba jiil la dul fadhiisto iyo is nac. Dawladaha ay xukumaan digtaatooriyiinta, gaar ahaan kuwii shuuciga ahaa, ayaa waxa ay shacabkooda ku mashquulin jireen in cadawga umaddu yahay isticmaarka iyo imbiriyaaladda (imperialism) iyo dhiigmiiratada oo ay ka wadaan dadka lacagta leh. Shacabkii ayaa colaad loo gelin jirey dawladaha hore u marey iyo dadka lacagta leh, oo looga dhigi jirey iney iyagu mas’uul ka yihiin dib u dhaca ku yimid dalkooda iyo nolol xumada. Dawaladaahaasi waxa ay meel kasta ka faafin jireen iney dagaal kula jiraan isticmaarka, waxaaney caruurta iskuulada iyo iyo shaqaalaha u akhriyiyaan khudbado ay ku abaabulayaan oo ay uugu sheegayaan inay dagaal isu diyaariyaan. Waxaas oo borobagaanda ah waxa ay uugu talo galeen iney dadka kaga indho tiraan in dhibaatada heysata iyo horumar la’aanta ay uugu wacanyihiin dawladahan hore u marey iyo dadka lacagta leh.

Waxa inta badan ad war baahinta ka maqleysaa iyada oo la leeyahay cadowga Somaliland ayaa sida yeeley iyo cadowgii ayaa ka naxey iyo cadowgii Somaliland ayaa sida fiinta uuga qeyliyey arrinkaas. Cadowgaa la sheegayaa waxa looga jeedaa Soomaliya iyo dadkeeda iyo dawladeeda. Dabcan, taariikh dheer ayaan jirta oo dagaal iyo dulmiba ku jiro oo laga tirsanayo dawladdihii Soomaaliya ka jirey, waana ta keentey in Soomaaliland ka tashato oo maamulkeeda sameysato dalkeedana dib u dhisato. Xitaa marka dib loogu noqdo taariikhda, cadowgu muu aheyn Somaliya iyo dadkeeda, manaha iney iyana yihiin dad xun inana dad wanaagsan. Cadowga runta ihi wax uu ahaa talo xumo horseedey horumar la'aan iyo burbur mujtamac, dhaqaalihii iyo xukunkii oo inaga wareega. Haddii la rabo in laga hor tago si aaney mar danbe wixii la soo marey mar kale u dhicin, waxa haboon in cadowga rasmiga ah laga hor tago oo aan lagu jaha wareerin dhaleeceynta iyo ku mashquulka Somaliya oo teedii heysato.

Hargeisa iyo Muqdisho waxa hor guuleysan doona labadii tii dhaqaaleheedu sareeyo ee u horumarka ay sameyso uuga faa’iideysata in dadkeeda gaar ahaan dhalin yarto shaqooyin hesho iyo adeegga bulshadu kor u kaco. Maalinta Somaliland iyo Somaliya isasoo hor fadiistaan ee wada hadal yimaado, waxa talin doona oo tiisa la maqli doonaa hadba dhinicii dhaqaalaha badan, dhinaca dadkiisu aqoonta sareeyo, dhinaca dhalinyartiisu baraarug sareeyaan ee ay ka qeyb qaadanayaan talada dalkooda. Haddii dhalinyarta dalku ay shaqo la'yihiin oo aaney si mug leh talada uuga qeyb qaadan, ama aaney heysan rajo wanaagsan oo ay mustaqbalka ku higsadaan, wey adkaaneysa inad ka fisho in ay dalkooda fadhiyaan oo horumarkiisa si buuxda uga qeyb qataan. 

Inanka iyo inanta ka tahriibaya Burco iyo Boorama ee u badheedhaya badaha waaweyn kama ordayaan weerar kaga iman doona xamar, balse waxa la soo gudboonaatey shaqo la’aan iyo iyaga oo rumeysan in qurbaha ay taalo nolol wanaagsan. Sidaa darteed, cadowga koowaad waa iyada oo mar labaad dagnaan lagugu qabto adiga oo aan dhaqaalahaagii kor u qaadin, adiga oo aan sameysan gaashan dhig adag oo ad umaddaada ku difaacdo iyo adiga oo aan shaqo gelin malaayiinta dhalinyarada ah ee miyi iyo magaalaba iska joogta ee jaha wareersan. Macno sameyn meyso colaad iyo naceyb umad gasha oo u gasha umad kale. Waxa iyana nuqsaan ah inad la tartanto qof kaa liitaa oo isaga laftiisu dulman, oo ad ku doodo inaga ayaa koonfur ka fiican. Somaliland 20 sanadood oo Soomaaliya dhib iyo dagaalo ku jirtey ayay dawlad laheyd.Faa’iido malaha inad la baratanto qof gurguuranaya adiga oo 20 sanadood orod ku jirey. Tartanka waa inad la gashaa qof qeyrkaa ah oo 22 jir ah. Maha inad 3 jir la tartanto.

Masuuliyiin ka socday saxaafadda iyo ururrada bulshada rayidka ah ee oo uu weheliyey Guddoomiyaha wargeyska xayiraada laga qaaday ee Hubaal Mr. Maxamed Axmed Jaamac (Caloolay), ayaa maanta qasriga madaxtooyada kula kulmay madaxweynaha Somaliland Md. Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud (Siilaanyo) oo ay weheliyeen wasiirrada warfaafinta Md. Cabdillaahi Maxamed Daahir (Cukuse), Madaxtooyada Md. Xirsi Cali Xaaji Xasan iyo xoghayaha gaarka ah ee madaxweynaha Mr. Cali Axmed Cali, kuwaaso madaxweynaha iyo dawladda Somaliland-ba raaligelin ka siiyey wararkii dhaawaca ku ahaa qaranimada Somaliland ee uu wargeyska Hubaal ka baahiyey safaarada Itoobiya, isla markaana waxay madaxweynaha ka codsadeen inuu saamaxaad u fidiyo weriyeyaasha maxkamaddu xukuntay, xayiraadana laga qaado wargeyska Hubaal, arrintaasoo madaxweynuhuna aqbalay.

Waxa kale oo masuuliyiinta kulankaas ka hadashay ee saxaafadda ka socday sheegeen inay saxaafad ahaan ka xun yihiin wararkii sababay in wargeyska Hubaal la xayiro, isla markaana xukuno lagu rido weriyeyaasha wargeyskaas, kuwaasoo madaxweynaha ka hor caddeeyey inay damaanad qaadayaan in aannu wargeska Hubaal baahin doonin warar ka baxsan xeerarka iyo anshaxa saxaafadda Somaliland, isla markaana aanay dib u dhici doonin in warar meel-ka-dhac ah laga faafiyo dalalka jaarka ee xidhiidhka saaxiibtinimo ka dhexeeyo Somaliland iyo wixii wax u dhimaya qaranida iyo masaaliixda guud ee Somaliland.

Waxa kale oo xubnahaasi madaxweynaha u sheegeen inay saxaafad ahaan diyaar u yihiin in dib-u-eegis iyo dib-u-habayn lagu sameeyo xeerka saxaafadda Somaliland, balse ay waajib tahay in saxaafaddu qayb libaax ka qaadato, tallo badana ku yeelato wax-ka-beddelka iyo dib-u-habaynta lagu samaynayo xeerka saxaafadda, kuwaasoo sidoo kale caddeeyey in bahda warbaahintu qayb ka tahay horumarka iyo hannaanka dimuqraadiyadeed ee ka hanno qaaday dalka Somaliland, iyagoo xusay in dawlad ahaan iyo saxaafad ahaanba ay waajib tahay in markasta la ilaaliyo danta guud iyo qaranimada Jamhuuruiyada Somaliland.

Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyada Somaliland Md. Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud (Siilaanyo) oo ugu dambayntii hadal ka jeediyey kulanka uu la yeeshay guddida ergada ah ee ka socotay bahda saxaafadda Somaliland, waxa uu caddeeyey inay xukuumad ahaan iyo dawlad ahaanba diyaar u yihiin sidii loo xaq-dhawri lahaa madaxbannaanida iyo xoriyatul-qawlka Somaliland, isla markaana aanay xukuumad ahaan dhibsanayn dhalliilaha toosinta ah ee saxaafaddu baahiso, balse waxa uu xusay in dawlad ahaan, saxaafada ahaan iyo dadweynahaba meel looga soo wada jeedsado ilaalinta masaaliixda iyo danta guud ee qaranida Somaliland, maadaama dalku leeyahay cadaw badan, isla markaana aannu wax icitiraaaf ah ka haysan beesha caalamka, isagoo xusay in aannu aqbali doonin wixii wax u qarinada Somaliland, waxaannu madaxweynuhu sheegay inuu aqbalay codsida ergayada saxaafadda ka socotay u gudbisay ee la xidhiidhay sidii saamaxaad loogu fidin lahaa weriyeyaasha xukunku ku dhacay ee wargeyska Hubaal iyo sidii xayiraada looga qaadi laha wargeyskaas.

Kulanka dhexmaray masuuliyiinta ka socday saxaafadda iyo madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyada Somaliland, ayaa muujinaya sawir tilmaan u ah in xubno aan xilal qaran hayn ay ka ergeeyaan, isla markaana waanwaan ka galaan arrin khilaaf abuurtay, socdaana ilaa halka ugu saraysa ee dalka looga talliyo, kadibna xal ka gaadhaan muran taagan, taasoo Somaliland mooyaane aan inta badan ka dhicin dalalka caalamka, iyadoo arrintaasi tilmaan u tahay hab-dhaqanka wada-tashiga ee Somaliland ku caano-maashay.

Is foreign aid just money down the drain?

By Andrew Gilligan

The Government’s programmes for developing countries sound impressive – but many
of its claims start to unravel under scrutiny

Once again last week, the Department for International Development (DFID) found itself fighting a small crisis in Africa. After The Sunday Telegraph revealed that £480,000 of British aid had been stolen by al‑Shabaab, the Somali branch of al‑Qaeda, emergency supplies of ministers had to be rushed into the trouble zone (BBC Radio 4’s Today programme and the pages of the London Evening Standard).\

Britain was sending £80 million a year to Somalia to “shape the world we want and to reap the rewards”, insisted the Development Secretary, Justine Greening. “Either we help foreign governments to deal with terrorists abroad, or we do nothing and face a future dealing with them at home or even on foreign battlefields.”

In the days that followed, however, DFID had trouble shaping even its story about the missing aid. Ms Greening said that the goods were “destroyed”, and her officials told reporters that they had been burnt by al-Shabaab in a single incident in November 2011.

But DFID’s own annual report, which described the loss, made no mention of any fire or destruction, speaking instead of multiple “confiscations” from multiple “offices” and “warehouses” over a three-month period from November to February. Late on Friday, after two days of asking, DFID admitted that its claim about the destruction was merely a “judgment, based on similar al-Shabaab incidents”, and declined to answer further questions about exactly what took place; where, when or how often it happened; how the department learnt of its loss; or whether there were any witnesses.

Three days after the theft story broke, DFID’s arguments suffered a more serious blow. Little reported in Britain, Médecins Sans Frontières, the famously tough international aid agency and one of the tiny few to have stayed in Somalia throughout the horrors of the past two decades, announced that it was closing its operation and pulling out all 1,500 of its staff on security grounds.

Dr Unni Karunakara, MSF’s president, said the “final straw” for the charity was discovering that several of Somalia’s own various official authorities had “actively supported or tacitly approved attacks, killings and abductions of humanitarian workers in Somalia”, adding: “It’s almost like a frog in boiling water. I think over the last 22 years we have accepted higher levels of risk and somehow absolved it and we’ve just reached our limit.” When Ms Greening talked about the Somali government dealing with terrorists, this probably wasn’t what she had in mind.

But Somalia is far from the only place where DFID’s record can be questioned. To answer critics of its growing budget – up by 35 per cent, even as most other budgets are being cut – the department’s latest annual report lists a series of spectacular, almost Soviet-style achievements, in what it calls DFID’s “year of significant delivery”.

By April 2013, according to the report, 19.6 million people had been given “access to a water, sanitation or hygiene intervention” thanks to DFID support – some of it direct, most of it channelled through multilateral agencies such as the EU. Almost six million new people got one or more of these things last year alone, the report claims – an incredible 112,000 new people every week, a 42 per cent rise in a single year. If real, it is a huge achievement; lack of safe drinking water and sewerage are two of the most basic causes of death and disease. But is it real?

It turns out that the hygiene and sewerage figure is just one of a number of DFID statistics that may be faintly smelly. Under pressure to justify its £11 billion budget, the department’s claims appear unreliable across a whole number of key policy areas. One problem, of course, is that it is often not enough simply to put in latrines, sewers or pumping stations. Tanks must be regularly emptied, pipes regularly repaired, pumps regularly refuelled. DFID’s statistics used to recognise this, counting only the number of people given “sustainable” access to better water or sanitation. Now, however, the definition used to produce the 19.6 million figure appears to have been changed. It no longer, by its own admission, includes any measure of “whether the water sources remain in use after a given period of time”. That might help bump up DFID’s numbers, but it is not so good for the Third World.

Earlier this year, the EU’s spending watchdog, the Court of Auditors, examined Brussels’ programme for water and sanitary improvements, which has received large amounts of DFID funding. Of the 23 major projects they looked at, which are meant to help many millions of people, only 10 were properly maintained and still operating; only four were covering enough of their running costs to ensure their future survival; and just two did regular checks to make sure the water they produced was actually fit for human consumption.

Lynne Featherstone, the DFID minister, now admits there was “culpable waste” in the project. Similar problems were found in a DFID-led programme in Sudan, though DFID insists that none have been identified with its other direct projects, saying permanent improvements have been delivered for the “vast majority” of its 19.6 million beneficiaries. For all the impressive numbers pumped out by DFID, sanitation is one of the development goals most seriously off track. Thanks to urbanisation and population growth, there are actually more people now without access to improved sanitation than there were 20 years ago.

Then there’s the tricky matter of what constitutes a “hygiene intervention”. This, it turns out, need not include any actual physical measures at all, simply “communication, social mobilisation, community participation, social marketing and advocacy to bring about behaviour change”. DFID insists this means more than just putting up notices asking people to wash their hands – but in its Sudan programme it seemed to include just that, along with the distribution of “hygiene kits and soap”. The definition adds: “Understanding whether hygiene promotion has in fact led to behaviour change… is not required.”

DFID’s education number – an impressive-sounding 5.87 million children “supported” in primary education a year – also starts to unravel under scrutiny. It’s a measure, it transpires, only of “enrolment”, not actual attendance, teaching or learning. In other words, you can turn up once, never come back and still be counted as a pupil “supported” in education by British taxpayers.

It’s often not the kids’ fault. They want to learn. But as a report by the official aid watchdog, the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI), into a DFID-funded, Unicef-run education programme in northern Nigeria found, many of the supposed “schools” in which they are enrolled are “without windows, desks, chairs, adequate roofing, toilet facilities and sources of water”.

When the researchers asked a group of girls about the state of their school, “they laughed”, the report said. “One said that, as could be seen, the corner of their classroom had fallen in, the sky was exposed through part of the roof and there were no windows or doors.”

In one Nigerian state covered by the programme, “it was not difficult to find rural schools where on average half the teachers had not worked the previous month… There is little evidence to indicate that substantial and sustainable changes… have been made to teacher performance and school infrastructure.” Yet this programme, GEP 2, has cost British taxpayers £41 million, with a further £103 million to come.

Across the top of DFID’s own official document about the programme, presumably not meant for public consumption but inadvertently published anyway, a civil servant has written: “Ian – activities log template a bit sparse. Unicef to fill this in.” GEP 2 has been going since 2004, so it might be a little late for that.

The entire basis of even the enrolment number, by the way, is almost certainly false. DFID takes it from official statistics for overall enrolment issued by the governments concerned, then divides it by the share of funding it provides for education in that country. That assumes two things: that the benefit DFID aid brings is always exactly proportional to the amount it has paid – and also that the overall statistics issued by countries such as Nigeria are reliable. In fact, as the ICAI report found, they can go up or down by as much as 40 per cent in a single year.

Another even more striking DFID achievement is the 30.3 million people “supported” to get “access to financial services”, such as microcredit – a soaraway increase of 18.7 million, or 161 per cent, in just one year. Once again, this is not quite what it seems. It includes not just “access made possible directly under DFID-supported programmes” but also “nationwide expansion in access to financial services resulting from the policy changes and improvements in the enabling environment made possible through DFID support”.

In Rwanda, the proportion of people with access to financial services has risen from below half to 72 per cent – a big success. But it hasn’t had much to do with DFID. Britain’s programme in the area, Access to Finance Rwanda, has been in existence since March 2010, spent £4.3 million and achieved, according to an official evaluation, virtually nothing. Its administration costs in 2011 made up 89 per cent of its budget.

The more you look at DFID, the more you realise that it is a last outpost of New Labour. Its spending on projects such as GEP 2, untroubled by eight years of failure, recalls the golden days of the London Underground PPP, the explosion in tax credits and other such boondoggles.

Actual progress towards its key policy targets, though not nil, is less than you might expect for the acceleration in spending. DFID works towards the seven Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on schooling, on water, on child mortality and others. These, unlike the department’s own figures, are independently assessed. And as The Sunday Telegraph reported last week, only 31 per cent of the MDG targets in DFID’s enduring priority countries are assessed as “achieved or on track”, down from 38 per cent in 2010. Fifty-four per cent were “offtrack” or “severely offtrack”, up from 49 per cent in 2010.

The huge numbers claimed for “children supported” in primary education, “hygiene interventions” and the like are the Coalition equivalents of the last government’s claims about massively falling GP waiting times and massively rising GCSE A grades – not fake exactly, but faintly manufactured and suspect.

When the beneficiaries are in remote, sometimes dangerous corners of the developing world, rather than housing estates in Leicester, the figures are even more vulnerable to manipulation and error.

Somaliland:UK BENT ON STEPPING UP SOMALILAND SUPPORT

Amb. Neil Wigen British ambassador to Somalia

By M.A.Egge

The British ambassador to Somaliland and Somalia has reiterated the UK’s continued efforts of fortifying relations with this country.

Amb. Neil Wigen who was speaking at the Hargeisa International Book-fair reminded the audience that Somaliland/UK relations was one that had been on for eons hence that his country is determined to pep up Somaliland’s development.

He said that the bilateral relation between the two countries was mainly focused on development and security.

He dwelt his speech on the wide range of help and support his country did for Somaliland.

Amb. Wigen noted that the UK and Somaliland had sound ties or all fronts which stood on strong pillars.
The conveners of the book fair and members of eminent personalities who were present appealed the British government, through the ambassador, to review the remittance issue which most of the western countries, (UK, US) are bent on suspending.

Ironically, the backbone of the GDP in this region, comes from money repatriation from abroad.

US newspaper: Professor Ahmed Samatar to Minnesota Somaliland community: ‘I want Somaliland to win’

Dr. Ahmed Samatar (photo by Ibrahim Hirsi)

Professor Ahmed Samatar has been a leading advocate for a united Somalia and a strong critic of the country’s clan-based political system that continues to divide Somalis. Demonstrating his views through academic writings, interviews and speeches, Samatar once described the current Somali politics as “sewage." In a recent speech, Samatar described a shift in his opinion, from advocacy for a completely unified Somalia to advocacy for independence for Somaliland.

Samatar, an international relations professor at Macalester College, received his undergraduate degree from University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from University of Denver.

In recent years, Samatar has shifted his role from being a mere political commentator to being an active participant in the process of redefining the politics he’s disparaged for decades: He recently served as a member of the Somali parliament and ran for the presidency last summer, although he lost the election.

On August 10, Samatar spoke to nearly 300 people at Brooklyn Park Community Center about his recent visit to Somaliland, a self-proclaimed independent state, which has been struggling to gain recognition from the international community for the last two decades.

“I’ve seen peace, security and a trace of law and order everywhere I visited in Somaliland,” Samatar said, addressing his audience in Somali. “I’ve seen people paying tax willingly because they are satisfied with what the government is doing. There is sense of democracy. Freedom of expression. They understood that if you don’t let people speak from their mind, the government would fall.”

Earlier this summer, Samatar visited Somaliland for the first time in about 18 years. Even though he’s never held a public office in Somaliland and has opposed its separation from Somalia for many years, hundreds of thousands of spectators assembled on streets with photos of Samatar in an expression of profound love and respect for the international studies professor at Macalester College.

“No words can describe the reception I received,” he told the crowd, speaking behind a podium placed in between two flags — that of the United States’ and the green, white and red striped flag of Somaliland. “I can’t wait to go back.”

Samatar endorsed a separate Somaliland state, though he cited obstacles that will present tough challenges in that quest.

“The world’s attention is on Somalia right now,” Samatar said. He reminded the crowd, mostly Minnesota-Somalilanders, of the official recognition the United States granted last January to the Somalia government in Mogadishu.

He added that the world is busy in the reconstruction and development of Somalia, suggesting that no one is considering sovereign statehood for Somaliland at the moment.

In case option one — an independent Somaliland — doesn’t work out, he urged the people of Somaliland to have a second option: negotiation with Somalia. When an audience member confronted his suggestion of having a Plan B, Samatar said, “You won’t go anywhere if you don’t have Plan B.” But he reassured the crowd: “I want Somaliland to win. I mean it.”

Somaliland reports mistreatment

Before 1960, Somalia was in the hands of British, Italy, France and other colonial countries that divided the country into pieces. For instance, the southern part of Somalia, including Mogadishu, was colonized by Italy. Its northern part, now called Somaliland, was a British-occupied land.

After a long journey of bloodshed and struggle for a sovereign Somali state, Somaliland gained its independence from Britain on June 26, 1960. Four days later, Somalia got its independence from Italy.
Having shared a common struggle for independence, Somalia and Somaliland decided to join forces and become one strong Somali nation.

While many Somalis say it was a milestone that Somaliland joined Somalia, some people from Somaliland — not all of them — argue that the merger was a mistake. They say Somaliland hasn’t benefited from the 31-year-old marriage to Somalia.

For the past 50 years, Samatar said, there were only two clans that took turns to fill the presidency. The clans Samatar was referring to are ****** and *****, two of the largest clans in Somalia.

Because Somaliland felt disenfranchised, they formed their own government when Somalia collapsed in civil war in 1991. They created their own flag. They created their own national anthem. And they refer to Somalia as nothing more than a neighboring country. For the Somalia government, on the contrary, Somaliland is just another region of Somalia.

Somaliland needs improvement 

Samatar’s presentation on Somaliland wasn’t all about praise — he also pointed out many low points that the autonomous Somaliland state can improve upon.

Somaliland isn’t that different than Somalia in terms of power sharing, Samatar said. Somaliland feels like a village with one man in power, he said, referring to the major clan, ****, which has held the presidency for many years. He called for diversity in the Somaliland leadership. “The government should reflect on the people it services,” said Samatar.

He also urged the government to work on energy development. “You can’t run a country without electricity.”

Samatar also said that he met people, who don’t have access to clean water. He added that people go on foot four miles, fetching water.

Audience reactions

Samatar’s assessment on the issues in Somaliland seemed more like those of an academic than a politician. After Samatar’s presentation, the audience was given a chance to comment and ask questions.

Asked if he would run for Somaliland presidency, Samatar said: “It’s not about me wanting or not wanting to become a president. It’s about the desire of the people. Is Somaliland asking someone who can change? Someone who can lead? I don’t see those questions asked. I see corruption. I see romanticization of clan, which I’m not into."

“It was a fair discussion,” said Said Ahmed, who identifies himself as a Somalilander. “It was very informative.”

Aisha Hassan, who hasn’t been to Somaliland for the past 15 years said she’s glad that Samatar visited “my country” to see the realities there.“The professor is a genuine man,” Hassan said. “He says it like he sees it. I respect his conclusion.”

Alberta woman held hostage in Somalia reveals details of abuse, ransom in book

Amanda Lindhout

After about a year of being starved, beaten and sexually brutalized, Amanda Lindhout decided it was time to kill herself.

The Alberta woman, taken hostage in Somalia in August 2008, says she reached her breaking point after spending three days trussed up like an animal, her hands and feet pulled so tightly behind her back that she could barely breathe.

When her captors did untie her, they told her it was only a reprieve. They promised to use the same torture technique on her again each day until they got their ransom money.

Left alone, Lindhout resolved that she was better off dead. She would take a rusty razor to her wrists.

But as she held the blade in her hand, a small, brown bird flew into the doorway of the room where she was being held. It hopped on the dirty floor, looked at her and flew away. It was the first bird she'd seen since shortly after she was taken.

"I'd always believed in signs ... and now, when it most mattered, I'd had one," she writes. "I would live and go home. It didn't matter what came next or what I had to endure.

"I would make it through."

In an advance edition of a book, which is set for release next month, the 32-year-old details the brutal 15 months she spent in captivity along with Australian photographer Nigel Brennan. Entitled "A House in the Sky," the book is co-authored by Sara Corbett, a contributing writer with the New York Times Magazine.

The book reveals how Lindhout and Brennan's families eventually gave up on the Canadian and Australian governments and co-ordinated the pair's release themselves.

The final price for their lives: $1.2 million.

About $600,000 went to the kidnappers as ransom. They'd originally asked for $3 million. The remaining money was spent on other costs, including a $2,000 per day fee for a private hostage negotiator.

The two families split the bill evenly. While Brennan's family was more well off. Lindhout's parents came up with their half with the help of donations.

Lindhout says both the Canadian and Australian governments made the kidnappers an offer of $250,000. It was categorized as "expense" money to maintain official policies of not paying ransoms.

It was rejected.

Ottawa officials also tried to enlist the help of people in the Somali government, she writes, but its leadership was in constant chaos.

Lindhout doesn't condemn the federal government for failing to save her, but she does write about countries around the world that quietly pay ransoms, "strike diplomatic deals or send in armed commandos" for their citizens.

"Many, including the Canadian and U.S. governments, try to provide family support while also maintaining a hard line about further fuelling terrorism and hostage-taking through ransom payments ... Still, try telling that to a mother, or a father, or a husband or wife caught in the powerless agony of standing by," the book reads.

She admits she was naive and inexperienced, travelling to a dangerous country for the thrill of adventure. As a Calgary cocktail waitress, she had saved her tips for backpacking trips around the world before turning to freelance journalism to further fund her travels.

She had earlier travelled on her own to Afghanistan and sold a story to her hometown newspaper, the Red Deer Advocate, and some photos to an Afghanistan magazine. She thought her career was advancing when she landed a job in Baghdad for Press TV, the English division of Iran's state broadcaster, but she says she quickly felt she was "part of a propaganda machine."

She decided to take a chance on heading to Somalia. "The reasons to do it seemed straightforward. Somalia was a mess. There were stories there — a raging war, an impending famine, religious extremists and a culture that had been largely shut out of sight."

She knew it was dangerous but hoped to find a story that would launch her career.

She spoke on the phone with Brennan, a former boyfriend she'd met on a previous trip to Ethiopia, and blurted out an invitation for him to join her and take photos while she did TV news. He agreed.

They had only been in Somalia a few days when they got into a car with a hired fixer, driver and security guards and headed for a camp of displaced people outside the capital city of Mogadishu. On the way, armed men stopped and dragged them from the vehicle.

Lindhout says she later learned the group had been watching their hotel and were actually targeting two men also staying there — a writer and photographer working for National Geographic. The kidnappers were surprised to end up with a woman, she says.

While Lindhout and Brennan were kidnapped together, they had different experiences in captivity. Brennan was kept in a room with windows, furniture and books to read, but Lindhout was holed up in a dark room with rats. It was simple: he was a man; she was a woman.

They both told their captors they wanted to convert to Islam. They recited the Qur'an and prayed five times each day, hoping it would provide them some protection.

Back in Canada, Lindhout's family feared she was being sexually assaulted, but Canadian officials assured them Muslims were unlikely to do such a thing.

She says one captor, however, routinely snuck into her room and forced himself on her.

Things got worse, she says, when she and Brennan tried to escape in early 2009.

The pair used a nail clipper to dig bricks and metal bars out of a bathroom window, then crawled out and ran to a nearby mosque. When some of the gun-toting kidnappers caught up with them, no one in the crowd would help — except one older woman.

She clung to Lindhout's arms then threw herself onto Lindhout's body as the men dragged their hostage out of the building. Lindhout says she later heard a gunshot echo from inside the mosque, though she says she never learned the fate of her helper.

The kidnappers blamed Lindhout for the escape, even though it had been Brennan's idea. The next day, in a prayer room, they put a sheet over her head, stripped down her clothes and took turns violating her body.

In November 2009, Lindhout says, she was told she and Brennan were being sold to a more violent, rival group. As they were being passed over to strangers, Lindhout clung to a car door and had to be pulled away, screaming.

A few minutes later she realize they were actually being rescued. A ransom had been paid.

Lindhout was taken to a hospital in Kenya. She had broken teeth, ribs that constantly ached from being kicked and a skin fungus that had spread across her face. Her hair had been falling out in clumps. She was extremely malnourished and had trouble walking because her feet had been in shackles for so long.

She returned to Canada after about a week in hospital. Her recovery included a specialized treatment program to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder and repeated visits with therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists, acupuncturists and meditation guides.

What kept her going for 459 days?

Lindhout writes she got through the most painful times by constructing, in her mind, a house in the sky, where she got to eat whatever she wanted and embraced her friends and family.

She made a promise to herself that, if she were ever freed, she would find a way to honour the woman who tried to save her at the mosque. In 2010, she founded the non-profit Global Enrichment Foundation to help support education for women and girls in Somalia and Kenya.

Now living in Canmore, Alta., Lindhout says she still thinks about her kidnappers. She tries not to hate them and understands they are products of a violent environment and an unending war.

"Forgiving is not an easy thing to do. Some days it's no more than a distant point on the horizon. I look toward it. I point my feet in its direction. Some days I get there and other days I don't.

"More than anything else, it's what has helped me move forward with my life."

Somalia Suffers World’s Worst Polio Outbreak

By Bennett Riese
 
Less than 24 hours ago, the AP reported that a polio epidemic of “explosive” proportions had struck Somalia. The African country famed for its piracy and tribal conflicts may now claim it has more polio cases than the rest of the world’s countries combined.

Although most countries in the world consider polio eliminated, it is considered endemic in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, and until very recently, India. Figures released on Friday illustrate over 100 cases with an extra 10 popping up in a Kenyan refugee camp. The outbreak initially started this past May, and campaigns to vaccinate the Somali people have reached about 4 million. Somalia was removed from the endemic list in 2001.

Areas of the country are still heavily controlled by the al Shabaab child militia network, and health workers are having trouble reaching children in those areas, 7 out of 10 of whom are not properly immunized against polio.

Oliver Rosenbauer, a spokesman for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative at the WHO in Geneva, said that “It’s very worrying because it’s an explosive outbreak and of course polio is a disease that is slated for eradication… In fact we’re seeing more cases in this area this year than in the three endemic countries worldwide.”

Polio is one of computer magnate Bill Gates’ pet issues, and through his foundation he personally devotes millions of dollars to the effort. Rosenbauer is optimistic that the polio outbreak will not affect continued efforts to eliminate the disease.

“The only way to get rid of this risk is to eradicate in the endemic countries, and there the news is actually paradoxically very good,” Rosenbauer said in a phone interview with the AP on the subject of eliminating polio in endemic nations.

The AFP notes that the outbreak could not have come at a more inconvenient time for Somalia. Apart from the al-Qaeda associated al Shabaab Islamists, rival warlords and the Somali national army are all clashing for control of the country.

A clear indicator as to the problems facing doctors who operate in Somalia was the notice that Doctors Without Borders is pulling out of Somalia after 22 years of lending aid. The nonprofit cited attacks on its staff members, although the organization was not participating in the polio campaigns.

Somalia: Radio Station Employee Is Shot Dead in Somalia

By MOHAMMED IBRAHIM and NICHOLAS KULISH

MOGADISHU, Somalia — A technician for the state-run broadcaster Radio Mogadishu was murdered on Saturday, the sixth media employee killed so far this year in Somalia. Separately, in the first such execution in Somalia, a man found guilty of killing a journalist last year was executed by firing squad.

Two armed men dressed in student uniforms attacked the technician, Ahmed Sharif, outside his home in the Shibis neighborhood of Mogadishu on Saturday morning, said Abdirahim Isse Addow, director of Radio Mogadishu. They fired four rounds, striking him in the chest and abdomen.

“He was rushed to Keysaney hospital, where he was confirmed dead,” Mr. Addow said. Both assailants escaped.

Also on Saturday, Aden Sheikh Abdi was executed by firing squad after his conviction for the murder of Hassan Yusuf Absuge, a reporter for Radio Maanta, a private station. A photograph from the scene of the execution showed Mr. Abdi tied to a post while a half-dozen men dressed in a mix of fatigues and police uniforms knelt and took aim with their rifles.

At a news conference, Col. Abdullahi Muse Keyse, a spokesman for the Somali military courts, said that Mr. Abdi was accused of belonging to the Islamic extremist group the Shabab. A lower military court convicted him in March and sentenced him to death. He appealed the sentence, but a senior military court rejected his appeal in July.

Somalia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, and the execution of Mr. Abdi was part of efforts by the Somali government to crack down on attacks against the news media. This year, the government began offering rewards of $50,000 for tips leading to the arrests of the killers of journalists.

Journalists are vulnerable to a variety of groups in Somalia, including the feared Shabab militants, warlords and even common criminals in a country where weapons are readily accessible.

In July, gunmen killed a television reporter in the semiautonomous region of Puntland. Two Somali journalists were also shot last month in the southern port city of Kismayu, with one wounded critically.

According to Reporters Without Borders, 18 journalists were killed in connection with their work last year. Somalia ranks 175th out of 179 countries in the group’s most recent Press Freedom Index. The Committee to Protect Journalists ranked Somalia second in the world after only Iraq in allowing the killers of journalists to go unpunished.

The Somali government has tried to build on recent security gains after the Shabab militants were pushed out of Mogadishu and other cities. But a series of bombings this year and a deadly siege on a United Nations compound in June have starkly illustrated the dangers that remain.

Last Wednesday, the medical humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders said that it would no longer operate in Somalia because it was too dangerous.

The Shabab claimed responsibility Saturday for a raid across the border into Kenya in which at least four police officers were killed. The commissioner of Garissa County in northeast Kenya told The Associated Press that a local chief and a schoolteacher were also wounded in the attack on a police post in the village of Galmagalla late Friday.

Mohammed Ibrahim reported from Mogadishu, and Nicholas Kulish from Nairobi, Kenya.
