Burglars attack elderly woman
December 28, 2010 · 14 Comments
Hargeisa (somalilandpress)- Yesterday early in the morning at 5:30 a group of thieves attacked and threw Fadumo Mohamed Yusuf a 65 aged mother from Hargeisa’s main bridge. The elderly woman told the police that the thieves tried to snatch her small handbag and then after they took it they threw her off the the Hargeisa Bridge.
Fadumo is a mother of seven orphanage children and every morning she goes to work at 5am to Hargeisa market where she works as hawker of small goods. She was taken to Hargeisa City Hospital for treatment to cut on her hands, fractured leg and ribs.
From her hospital bed Faduma was able to speak with the media where she told them how the attack happened“we were almost six women, and we were walking over the Hargeisa Bridge one man with a big knife stood in front of us and immediately he seized to my shoulder and then dropped me down the bridge and I became unconscious. The other women were shouted and run away, the thieves then took my hand bag and disappeared.”
One of the Hargeisa hospital Medical staff told to Somalilandpress that the number of burgler victims has increased last few months. Chief of Somaliland police commission Elmi Rooble Furre (Elmi kabaal) told reporters today that more 700 thieves were released from the prisons of Somaliland, the chief of Somaliland Police Commission also insisted that prisons buildings in Somaliland are almost destroyed and couldn’t hold numbers of thieves.
This isn’t the first time that the thieves are made such horrible cases in Hargeisa, but the last months, injuries and deaths from the burglars at night and early morning times are more increasing then as before.
Hargeisa the capital city of Somaliland is now crowded with multi ethnic and different cultured people. People are consisted those displaced from southern Somali, Ethiopia. Even though; Hargeisa is now crowded by other Somaliland regions inhabitant due to lack of employment and without resources.

Poor grammar, even the title is embarrassingly incorrect. Nothing new, just the norm with Somali websites. They do not understand that this reflects negatively on them as an organization.
Be nice. You should check your own grammar before criticising others. You have made three grammatical errors in your statement.
YES!!!!
Please be kind and offer constructive critisim.
We are not perfect – we are liable to make mistakes.
For example, you have just written "Nothing new, just the norm with Somali websites.", which is not a sentence.
Your brother, Hargeisawi-in-Lond.
I made some polite suggestions and the invisible hand removed by comments. I guess SL press has some Job security issues.
DO YOU LOVE SNM AND IF SO WOULD SAY
ONE LOVE TO SNM
ME TOO AND AM A BIG FAN OF THIS SITE.
You can be defensive or you can choose to take this opportunity to try and strive for excellence. You are in the business of writing, this is the core of your business and if you are lousy at it, people will not take you seriously. If this was an isolated incident then I would have ignored it but this is the norm like I said before.
Whether I am a fan of this website or not is irrelevant but believe it or not I am rooting for this site to succeed because I am a Somali and a somalilander. I am always happy to see Somalis doing good things.
When learning boxing, you do get hit and it hurts, that is how you get to be better by making sure you get hit less.
Folks,
First and foremost I thank all of you for taking the time to convey your views and I will see to it that it gets done.
In the last few weeks (three weeks) our editor who is based in Australia has been away on business travel and therefore we have not been able to edit the news that we get from our reporters based in Somaliland, whom their first language is not English. We at SomalilandPress apologies to our loyal readers for this inconvenient.
Thanks
Management
Ps.
Jimcaale,
In the future please email your suggestions to SomalilandPress@gmail.com.
Abdi concluded that it is the norm for all somali websites to have lousy grammar. So why is he critising? Be rational man.
Back to the topic: The government should be serious in protecting the public, especially poor old ladies like Fadhumo. The government should not have released hardcore thieves from jails. Instead should have made them work in prison (among other things building roads, bridges and more prisons).
The Ministry of Interior and the central govt's different regional institutions..Police, NSS, Governors,
Mayors, two parl.Political parties,Judicial branch, the media and the public must work together
to address this national public security issue into the lawful perspective objectivity it so deserves.
damn it if the Govt. is not upto the task of performing its job well.
Cheers.
Cut off their hands in public. We are Muslims after all and hence we should follow the Shariah Law. CUT OFF THEIR DIRTY HANDS.
abraham…we are muslims but not savages arabs….you get my point.
YEH WE ARE NOT F…… SAVAGES ARABS WE ARE THE LOVEING PEOPEL OF SOMALILAND.
ONE LOVE TO SNM.
