  For heaven sake, Faisal, the new administration is still in the process of power transfer. They have 5 years mandate to fulfill whatever they promised. It is absolutely, not the time to evaluate the new government. It is nonsense to think things are done overnight.

  Faisal, kindly tell us what these failed policies you are referring to are. If anything it's my believe that the government has stayed true to it's promises of fighting corruption but unfortunately those under scrutiny and are being investigated have turned this into a tribal affair to escape investigation. The government is in the process of building a lean and efficient government institutions which means that ppl like Faisal have no place in our new government..lacagti iska dha dhici jirtay is no more!

Well done academy of peace and democracy, you are the true gate keepers for Somaliland peace and democracy, without your organization involvement, a lot of things would have gone the wrong way. Keep up your good job and hard work.

Long live Somaliland and it's people.

The Academy for peace and development was in the past known to have
been in the behest of both good and bad policies nationally and internationally.
however this time around working with a new Regime in power it's hoped that
the positive gains will out number (God forbid) any negative effects.
one more important aspect worth mentioning is to give more attention to
the W/bari Regions which are always lacking behind all deliberations
as compared to the W/galbeed Regions. Imagine so far the good things done
by the new Regime in their first 100 days in office are concentrated on the
W/Galbeed with absolutely nothing for the W/Bari!…thus same old policies
of the past Regimes.
Cheers.

  Yes Mohamed,so far so good. it will come gradually, one region at a time. Therefore, if we want a nation building to be possibly implemented, dabka dawladda cusub lagu shidayo ha laga daayo.

    heloo gobaad,,
    
    hopefully our government will succeed,, but i think they are the ones who set the fire in order to mis-lead citizens attention. is true they are in office for view weeks, but what making people worrying is that :- we seeing economic turmoil for the last couple of weeks, the government is still taking illegal Tax in airports "remember they accused previous government for that". lastly there is lack of coordination among the government institutions and even conflicts are reported some times.
    
    So we need to address all those issues but not hide it.

Hey! Nasir and Saleebaan, the government is still processing the transfer of power as we speak. What I am saying is: xafiisadiiba lalama kala wareegine goormay wax qabtaan. Let us give them a chance for at least couple of years. By then things will be in black and white. Checks and balance and evaluation will then be appropriate and we will be on their tail, all the time.

Gobaad dear, so far so good & one Region at a time…have no problem
with that and fully comprehend what you saying but rather only trying
to remind the current Govt. that Hargeisa & W/galeed should not always
be the major Govt. focus for getting away with almost everything the Govt.
concentrates upon in real time..come on Gobaad you know what I mean.
All I am saying is the previous Regimes used to undermine if not totally ignore
the W/bari Regions…Even the importance of Berbera Port!.
Towards that end it's my ardent desire to see that the current Kulmiye Party
gives due regard to the W/bari Regions in all deliberated efforts by
the Regime.
thank you dear Gobaad..continue doing your stuff and keep kicking around
with that knowingly smile. Just kidding.

Cheers.

  Mohamedow, you are one of the few individuals in this website who posts balanced comments even when some of those low life Anti-Somaliland gets into my skin and I tend to lose my bears. I don't have your patience and most of the time SL press deletes my comments.
  
  I like what your comments and I don't mean, adigaa dabaka shidaya. But some of the people who visit this website and others who post in other media outlets are really bias against the new government.

Who rules Somaliland? many people believe that the President Of Somaliland Mr Silanyo is unable to rule the country so this question has come out from a number of discussions; who runs Somaliland?

What is your opinion or have you got facts you can share with us?

  I am sorry to tell you this Abuibrahim but you are clearly someone who lacks intelligence. Your question is that of an 8 year old child. If you really want to know who is the leader of Somaliland, google it at once. If your question concerns about the law and order in the country now, again google the country, or better fellow its news and current affairs on media outlets. Last time Somaliland was rewarded Level Three on security (international scale). Both Iraq and Afghanistan are lower than Somalilad in security scale. Somalia is infact inmeasurable.
  So, may be rephrase your question here.
