This is wonderful news for those girls who cannot afford to go to school. The current minister of education is trying her best to help those who need. God bless you Zamzam.
the most puzzeling of all is the elimination of the glorious SNM and Somaliland history from the syllabus of all schools in our beloved republic of Somaliland, at the present time (haddan/ goortan/ waa-gan/ beri-gan la-joogo). Luckly there are many many books well writen by vetrens such as me which document the precious history in an extensive and detalied way, for coming generations to read and learn lessons from the emergence of ever vicorious SNM and its resounding and historical victory of the Faqash Daarood milita of led by the notorious general Siyad Barre and his slave Axmed saleeman Dafle, who both fled the country and became refugees. There are also large numbers of vedios documenting the liberation war of Somaliland. We also should not forget that students in the republic of Somaliland studied the history of SNM and the armed struggle of the blessed nation of Shiikh Isaxaaq Bin Axmed Alsaxaabi Alqurayshi, who also hundred years ago defeated a similar aggression initated by the Darood faqash led at that time by a miserable loser used to be called mad mulla originally from Itoobiyan Ogaadeen (cag-dheer).
Please don't bring tribaism here. The Darood are our Somali Muslim brothers and sisters.
Why do you call yourself DHABAYACO if you hate the people of Darood? We need to comments the article, but we do not need to offend people. The history of our gallantries is OK to be learned in our school, but please do not take the issue out of contex.
I welcome the school fees news with reservation, because the Minister lied to the nation before and I have to be very cautious to believe her ever again. I will believe her when I see.
I am still recovering from the falsified story about our kids sent to Turkey and then seen on TV screens next morning our kids having breakfast with Sheikh Shariif in Mogadishu.
Sheikh Shariif kidnaps children does he. Thanks for the warning. I wouldn't put it pass him or those who kidnapped Somaliland Oil boats or kidnapping foreign people. Sabotage is their legacy and these antics resulted in other countries like Kenya and Ethiopia retaliation to the lack of security their. I say good on them. As long as Somalia continues unlawfull sabotage of others they will pay for it.
ZAMZAM ABDI ADAN,, THE IRON WOMEN OF SOMALILAND.
Abdi,
Of course to you she is an iron lady, but to those whose children were sent to Mogadishu she is something else.
Good news for all somaliland girls who are not in a position pay the minimum fees required… Well done Samsam
I respect the minister on this proposal. however i think judging by so far this minister has been full of promises and small deliveries.
kuma noghon karno dawlad iyo dad been badan!
"somaliland girls who are not in a position to pay the minimum fees required…."
What about the BOYS, we want them trained to become pirates, and shiftas…, something is wrong with this proposal and somalilanders needs to think twice. Poor parents have both boys and girls.
Zamzam is another one of those "qurbajoog" so-called ministers who left their husbands, wives, and children behind at cities like London, Cppenhagen, Toronto, and Minneapolis to collect well welfare while they play all knowing "politicians" at Hargeisa, dining and "xafladeynin" every night and posing for opportunistic glossy digital pictures that they ask the young editors of the various websites to post for them so that the welfare kids they left behind in the ghettos of the west may thing their parents are big shots in Africa!!!!! kkkkkk.
They are all bunch of losers.
