Xabaal-Wadareed Cusub Oo Laga Helay Waqooyiga Hargeysa

Hargeysa, February, 2006 (Haatuf) – Xabaalo wadareed cusub oo ay ku aasan yihiin dad shacab ah ayaa laga helay waqooyiga Hargeysa, meel u dhow Kaantaroolka Waqooyiga Hargeysa looga baxo, beer uu leeyahay nin magaciisa la yidhaahdo Saleebaan Aamin.Sida ay sheegeen dad xog-ogaal ahi dadkan waxa la laayey ka dib markii xoogagii ururka SNM laga saaray magaalada Hargeysa ee dhamaadkii bishii August ee 1988-kii.

Weriye ka tirsan Haatuf oo halkaasi booqday shalay galab ayaa soo arkay madaxdayada ilaa todoba qof oo halkaasi wadajir loogu aasay, iyaga oo isku xidh-xidhan, kuwaas oo lagu aasay dhaamka beerta Saleebaan Aamin meel dhinaca waqooyi bari kaga beegan ilaa 15 talaabo oo ah mooska beerta.

Sida ay Haatuf u sheegeen dad halkaasi deggani, waxa la ogaaday xabaalahan ka dib markii nin meesha marayey uu soo jiiday maro ka soo jeeday ciida dhexdeeda, ka dibna ay soo boodeen madaxyada dadka halkaasi lagu laayey.Ibraahim Cali Faarax oo ka mid ah dadka halkaasi deggan ayaa sheegay in dadkani ahaayeen dad magaalada ka baxayey xaafadaha waqooyiga Hargeysa, markii SNM laga saaray halkaasi, hase yeeshee ay halkaasi ka heleen ciidamadii dawladdu, halkaasina ay ku laayeen kuna aaseen.Caasha Cali oo iyadu ka mid ah dadka halkaasi deggan ayaa sheegtay inaanay garanayn goorta dadkan lagu aasay, waxayse sheegtay inay u malaynayso inay yihiin dadkii shacabka ahaa ee magaalada ka soo qaxay 1988-kii, kuwaas oo ay laayeen ciidamadii faqashtu markii SNM laga saaray magaalada, halkaasi lagu aasay.

Agagaarka halka laga helay xabaalo wadareedan cusub ayaa u muuqata meel ay dad badani ku aasan yihiin, balse ma jirto cid xog intaa dhaafsan ka haysaa.Qalfoofka dadka halkaasi ku aasan ayaa waxa la socda koodhadh ay xidhnaayeen, kuwaasi oo ay ka muuqato rasaas lagala dhacay caloosha iyo leetarada sigaarka laga shito.Maaha markii ugu horreysay ee xabaalo noocan oo kale ah laga helo magaalada Hargeysa, hase yeeshee 1997-kii ayey ahayd markii ay daadad waaweyn oo dooxa Hargeysa ka soo rogmaday soo saareen kumanaan lafo isku xidh-xidhan oo ah dad lagu xasuuqay agagaarka dugsiga Malka-Durduro ee magaalada Hargeysa.

Sidoo kale sannadkii 2005 bishii April ayey daadad kale dooxa magaalada Hargeysa meel ilaa konton talaabo xagga galbeed ka soo xigta biriishka Hargeysa ka soo saareen lafo noocan oo kale ah, balse ay lafahaasi daadadkii markaa dooxa marayey wada qaadeen

The New Somaliland Press & Publications Bill 2007

The Somaliland Government has recently sent to the House of Representatives a new Bill on press and publications. The provisions of this bill (based almost entirely on the Yemen Law No: 25 of 1990 on the Press & Publications) run contrary to international norms relating to freedom of expression and the independence of the press and are not in line with the Somaliland constitution.
The considerable powers given to the Minister of Information (and other ministers) include even deciding on appeals from anyone whose writings have been turned down for publication by a newspaper’s editor (Article 46). These ministerial powers over the press and publishers/printers/distributors etc, the compulsory registration of all press and publication activities, including the practice of the profession of journalism, and the extensive criminal sanctions which add to the existing array of criminal offences in the 1962 Somali Penal Code contrast sharply with the current Somaliland Press Law (2004), which contains no criminal sanctions and is based on codes of conduct. Unfortunately the Somaliland Government has repeatedly made clear its dissatisfaction with the current press Law and has used the Penal Code and extra-judicial powers to detain and imprison journalists. It is no surprise, therefore, that the Somaliland Government is not putting forward amendments of the current Press Law, but is now proposing its wholesale replacement by this new Bill which introduces considerable criminal sanctions, such as fines and imprisonment (Article 99) for the infringement of its numerous provisions, as well as prohibition of continued practice of journalism or publication or even circulation of printed materials; confiscation of property, including printing presses (Article 101) and seizure of printed materials (Article 102)..........Full Text

The Isaq Somali Diaspora And‎ Poll-Tax Agitation In Kenya, 1936-41‎

Poll-tax agitation has been a fairly common phenomenon in Africa. On most occasions it has involved little ‎more than vocalized protest. In a few instances, however, it has led to resistance that has been both serious ‎and violent; the earliest example of the latter is probably to be found in the widespread Fante uprisings that ‎occurred immediately after the introduction of the Gold Coast Poll Tax Ordinance of 1852; a later example is ‎the Natal uprising of 1906 which has been attributed in large measure to the introduction of poll tax at the ‎end of the previous year. Yet the agitation by the Isaq Somali in Kenya did not follow either of these two ‎patterns. In several respects it was a highly unusual movement: first, the Isaq were campaigning to pay higher ‎taxation; secondly, in order to secure their aims they attempted to mobilize the whole Isaq diaspora, so that ‎Somali in Uganda, Tanganyika, British Somaliland and Britain were all involved in this agitation, (see map )‎.....Read the rest

The "Letter-of-Death" by General "Morgan" January 23, 1987

(Waridaad) - Following is the famous "Letter-of-Death" as translated into English by Mohamoud Sheikh Ahmed Musa, former President of the Supreme Court, including his explanatory notes as footnotes:1
The report is addressed to the President of the SDR, the Minister of Defence, and the Minister of Interior. The latter, Major-General Ahmed Suleiman Abdalla, is also a son-in-law of the President, and Third Deputy Prime Minister. Since President Barre is also the Minister of Defence -- the previous holder of that portfolio, General Mohamed Ali Samatar, having been promoted Prime Minister on January 30, 1987 -- the report is seemingly confined to family members. This would explain its extreme frankness in specifying certain clans as targets for implemented and recommended punitive action.
The target is the Isaaq Clan Family. The term "clan family" was first coined by Professor I.M. Lewis, Professor Social Anthropology at the London School Economics, to describe the collective name for each of the several major divisions to which Somali clans traditionally divide themselves. The Isaaq clan family sub-divides into four main clans.
