I don't know about Eritrea and Djibouti, but in SL the HY in Sanaag have a rich history with frankincense trade and they still export til this day. Here is a video about it by CNN from last year. http://www.somalilandinformer.com/somaliland/where-does-frankincense-come-from/ Lush, one of the...

It really is, you should ask people. Im originally from eastern SL but my family have lived in Hargeisa for decades so they dont speak the eastern accent or have the eastern culture but I also have family from Awdal and you can really notice the difference. Reer burco and togdheer are very...

Of course. Many of the artists in the album are not even the most famous somali singers from that era, except Fadumo Qaasim and a couple others.

True, these songs became popular because they were discovered by ajnabis and nominated for a Grammy. If only they had listened to the quality music from that era.

You can't really generalize reer waqooyi people. Waqooyi is a very large region that is also diverse. There is a huge difference between reer galbeed (Awdal, parts of Hargeisa, Gabiley) and for instance a reer bari from ceerigaabo. And then we have everything in the middle (reer burco, berbera...

I agree, I can think of so many songs from the 70s and 80s that have much better lyrics and music.

Genel Energy reported in October that the results from the two blocks they examined were so promising that Genel has picked out more areas to be investigated closer to the end of 2017 and into next year. AFRICA EXPLORATION UPDATE · Onshore Somaliland, the acquisition of 2D seismic data on...

I heard the same. Fadumo Siciid was beaten up at one of the poll stations in north Hargeisa, but we really don’t have the end result so it’s not conclusive but hopefully waddani will win with 15-18k votes.

Gadhweyn is the nickname for muuse tuurwaa, but are they really the majority? It just seems that reer Cawl is the larger sub clan.

Gadhweyn is a sub clan of muse ismaaciil. Most of Muuse ismaaciil are reer hawd while gadhweyn are from Sanaag. Muuse cabdalle are from saaxil while muuse carre are mostly reer hawd and some reside with gadhweyn in Sanaag.

The constitution of Somaliland only allows a maximum of 3 political parties.

That is correct. I met him a couple of years ago.

Is it also true that Kulmiye brought software engineers from India? There are some rumors circulating that the Indians will make sure the votes are rigged.

Why not only on Monday? How long will it take to count the votes?

Xasan Ciise Jaamac was the first VP of Somaliland. He was a law student in the UK and one of the founders of SNM in London. He left UK to join the war and has stayed in Somaliland ever since. One of the most respected men in Somaliland and has stayed away from party politics and qabyaalad.

Actually, I think most ciise except mamassan are against IOG. Have you not seen their opposition outside Djibouti? @Kingcobra are you furlabe?

I think Cali Seenyo (HY) owns Saab TV.

That is a conspiracy. All Isaaqs in Djibouti have received preferential treatment from Khadra? Maybe her immediate family. The opposite thing is actually happening there lately. Many jobs are given to issas out of qabyaalad and not to the person who is actually qualified. There is no doubt that...

Why wouldn't they? Everyone comes from a place originally. Maybe it has to do with the increased qabyaalad in djibouti recently? A lot of isaaqs who have lived in djibouti for generations are told daily that the only reason they're in the country is because of Khadra Haid.

It means that it is not a tuulo anymore but an official town with it's own mayor.
