(Waridaad) - Prof: Saleebaan Axmed Guuleed, ma Riyaaluu wakiil uga yahay shirka Soomaalidda ee ka dhacaya Lund, Sweden.

"Waa shir caalami ah, waana laga qayb geli karaa, ma koontaynar baan ku jirnaa" Prof: Suileman Guleed

Gudoomiyaha Jaamacadda Camuud Saleebaan Axmed Guuleed ayaa la xaqiijiyey inuu dabayaaqada bisha August, 2007, u baqooli doono dalka Sweden, gaar ahaan magaaladda la yidhaahdo Lund, si uu halkaa uga qayb qaato shir lagaga hadlayo dib-u-heshiisiinta iyo dib-u- dhiska Somalia oo ay soo qaban qaabisay hay’ad la yidhaahdo, Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre.

Haddaba su'aasha meesha taalaa waxa weeyey. Prof: Suileman sifooyinka u banaynaya inuu kaga qayb qaato shirarka Soomaalidda loo samaynayo, ee ka xaarintimaysay, amse ka dhigaysa in qofkii, ama dadkii reer Soomaaliland ah ee ka qayb qaata shirarkaa iyaga ah, uu noqonayo/noqonayaan khaayin/khaayimiin, laguna qaadaayo danbi, ka duwaya ta Gudoomiyaha Jaamacadda Camuud?

Waa su'aal looga fadhiyo xukuumadda Riyaale inay ka jawaabaan, haddii aanay meesha qorshe kale jirin.

Halkan ka eeg dadka ka soo qayb-galya shirka.

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.
