Stop lying I was one of the top students in 2005/2006 no scholarship no nothing, scholarships were sold by Ministry officials.

so this statement "The top students of the GCSE exams got scholarships to attend overseas universities in Malaysia, Sudan and Libya." is from my personal experience is a false claim, scholarships in somaliland is corrupted or at least was.

This is a clear evident that the so called government whether be former Riyale and his corrupted UDUB or the current fqash Silanyo is doing nothing and Somaliland people should not respect nor trust few old man calling themselves government.

We should have a private government and security forces. Its clear the "government" has failed in every field including security.

Its time Somalilanders former a new private government.

The "government" only provides scholarships to those with money that can buy it from them or use clan-affiliation. Its highly corrupted.

I am worried international universities that offer Somaliland students the opportunities to study in their universities will not get the best Somaliland students and the ones worthy of it but instead will get some illiterate guy who bought the system and abused the generous gift.

This is addressed to Kayse, i do not know what your problem is with the Kulmiye Administration but you constant diatribe about "Fqash" is becoming tired. This is the main reason why Riyaale and his corrupt henchmen were thrown out in the first place. Please refrain from insulting this current administration until they have been in power for a minimum a year, they deserve that much from us. The signs so far as i can see is encouraging.
