Borama has not achieve this level of success under Somalia and the people of Borama know it, they are fully behind Somaliland except few who still have bad memories of the civil war, I hope they let the past be the past and move forward.

Anyways congratulations to Aloe, weird name but properly Somali reporters made their own spelling and name, they often do that..

Karim, if this was Somalia, this factory would have been shut down already because it was not in Mogadishu, or it was Kacaan enough, or it didn't have the President's son, daughter, nephew, neice, uncle twice removed as a director, or finance manager..Get real, Somalia was an utter disaster, an expirement that failed and to this day eating its own children…Take a look at Borama today in Somaliland, and imagine if we didn't waste thirty years in a disaster of a union with Somalia.

What opening a small factory has to do with Somalia and Somaliland. It's so funny that everything is political in Somali speaking region. First we need to make some research who open this factory. it's not the government of Somaliland or businessman all you see is that they run to the opening day just to show people they have done something.

Borama wouldn't put its too coins in one place. What Somalia has to do with this it can't clean up it 's dirty insecurity that known around the globe and what Somaliland has to do with, all it brought us is cutting us of to use our sea ports like Saylac. We never see a governem that tell it's citizen not to use their resources. Keep dreaming about Somalia because even our location didn't tell you it's impossible to be part of Somalia. If things don't get better, maybe Putland kind of idea would work for Awdal and only different would be that Putland is waiting Somalia to recover while Awdal don't.

Ayanle says:

Putland isn't as bad as you put it. Everyone knows Putland was peacefull for a long time and people like me do support any Somali authority that make progress. Before you painted Putland as a pirate zone, it was created by illegal fishing and poluting the sea by an outsiders.

It was Putland that peacefully transfered power from Mr.Ade Muse to Mr. Farole and when the election was finished the loser of the election congratuated the winner without a problem. So please don't paint Putland as pirate state because they had done some good things for its citizens.

Putland does manage its security and everything else just for it self and I say it again that it maybe good for Awdal to do the same. Awdal has gain nothing from Somaliland but security that wasn't above 70% any given time. There is nothing not even one project that developed in Awdal by Somaliland as I know. Yes, I say again Awdal should be atonomous region within Somaliland in the future and I 'm 100% behine for that opinion good or bad. Because Somaliland and Putland have border dispute, doesn't mean we dislike Putland.

This is just the beginning, the're waves of Somali entrepreneurs, investors and innovators. This will be the generation that will make and sustain a change. This is the same generation that could careless about separation. And focus on Economic Stability within Somali.
I believe that there is change to come to Somali with the next 10 to 15 years, with Somalis being all around the world, with skills of all types. This is just the beginning.
