Afhayeenka Madaxweynahu isagu miyaanu lahayn af-xishooda.

(Waridaad) - "Afayeenka Madaxweyena Somaliland, Siciid Cadaani Mooge, ayaa maanta beeniyey warar lagu baahiyey saxaafadda Somaliland iyo Internetka oo sheegay in Madaxweynaha iyo Madaxweyne-Ku-Xigeenka khilaaf dhexmaray oo gacan iskula tageen."

Isagoo sii wata ayuu haddana yidhi "Saxaafadu Masuuliyad iyo xil weyn ayay u haysaa Qaranka waxaa looga baahan yahay in ayna baahin warar caynkaas oo kale ah oo waliba Been ah oo ay umadda ku jahwareerinayaan, waxay noqon doonaan Jaraa’idadaasi kuwo imika dadku ay ka foojignaan doonaan wixii danbe ee ay soo qoraan mustaqbalka."

Siciid Cadaani ma aha markii ugu horaysay ee uu idho la'aan isula soo taago dafiraad uu ku qarinayo, ceebaha iyo khilaafadka hadheeyey, Xisbi dowle-UDUB, isagoo afhayeenku adeegsanaya warbaahinta dawladda.

Waxaa ah wax lala yaabo inuu isagoo og beenta uu qarinayo, inuu hadda adeegsadu hadalo iyo weedho ka fog inuu isticmaalo nin masuul ahi.

Waxaa nasiib daro ah in ummaddii dalkani doorteen ay ula dhaqmaan ummaddii kursiga ku fadhiisisay, sidda caruurta, oo ay marba been qaawan u sheegaan, siddii ilmo yar oo la sasabayo.

Waxaa wax laga naxo ah, inuu afhayeenku isla soo taago masraxa marba, been uu ka siddo maamulahiisa. Waxaa iyana nasiib daro ah, dadka uu la hadlayo ee u sheegi la' inuu ixtiraamo caqligooda, uuna ka waantooba, indho adkaanta uu la soo taagan yahay meel kasta.

Waxaa iyana ah, mid la sugo, marka beentu dhamaato, ee ay gaadho kala miirka, halka ragani istaagi doonaan. Iminkana waxaaba la leeyahay, qaar kale ayaa ku soo biiraya.

Markaa Mudane, ummaddii beentiinii iyo madax salaaxii beentu hadhaysay, way soo tufeen, waanay arkaan isbaacsiga UDUB, buste iyo aflagaadu aad dad dusha ka saartaan oo danbe cidi aqbali mayso. Sidaad daraadeed, Mudane, gafka iyo aflagaadadda kala joog dadka, oo aayahaaga magac u reeb.

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.
