That's is great news. Somaliland has alot potential to uplift the poverty stricken status of the Horn of Africa.The people are ready to work with international communities and how to improve the well being and the standard of living for Somalilanders and also assist neighboring countries in need of aid and support.

A step forward toward but a small one to what we could achieve! Somaliland should and must fight to be the brain of 'AFRICA' and the nation's recognition must have been achieved ALREADY. We are behind, in fact way too behind. WHY? possibly the following reasons:

In political, our leaders are too eager and desperate to achieve recognition. There is a saying, a desperation is a killer of attraction! Somaliland recognition can be achieved without years of none sense bickering thats bring nothing but 'waste of time' and perhaps a tiny achievements like the one we are too excited about! (see above article) Lets not forget Somaliland is a beacon example in Africa but thats in one aspect, 'in peace' HOW ABOUT Economical aspects. Millions of our future generation are jobless, theres no clear future. If you offer one of them the opportunity to escape from the country they will not think twice. WHY? The simple answer is, because there is no FUTURE and peace won't feed an empty stomach. The clock is ticking and SOMALILAND need to alter its strategy to achieve real changes that can bring significant achievements. But then I think to myself, HOW? We have clear PROBLEMS. Our political leaders are more or less the same. They think the same way, the believe the same OLD non-sense. They are moving the same direction. The direction that is keeping us behind. They are wasting too much time and forgetting the clock sticking for thousands of hungry families and millions of jobless teenagers in our country.

Somaliland was established in my BIRTH TOWN when I was 3 years old since then WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS? A peace? hmm

Changes is needed.

In our political playing field, MORE educated young politicians who are desperate to serve their beloved country are needed. Replacing old machines is vital. For example, in a factory were you have an old machine you replace with a new one in order to achieve a QUALITY if not, you ARE risking the quality of your products. If the quality of your products goes down customers who are buying your product will become less satisfied hence this may lead customers switching to another supplier. So avoid the lost of customers, you simply need to replace the old machine in the first place. My point here is RETIRED politicians need to be replaced. However, their hard-work and contribution to their country must be shown appreciation. And where their expertise is needed they must be consulted but not implemented fully. However, without achieving this its hard for Somaliland to alter tactics and SEE real changes.

In our economy, we NEED young business entrepreneurs and talented genius people WHO ARE educated in the country and outside the country at this present moment. To achieve this OUR political leaders need to SEEK those young people and try and bring them HOME. Somaliland NEED A CENTRAL BANK that is supporting the overall economy. A central bank that can implement economical tactics when things get tough for example introducing 'quantative easing', supporting smaller businesses etc Supporting the micro and macro economic environment in Somaliland. However, EDUCATION is vital before any of these can be achieved.

I will conclude this, SOMALILAND need to wakeup and realise WE ARE wasting so much time. Time is money. Every day, every hour counts for World leaders but for us and for our leaders every meal counts. I blame on our politicians WHERE OUR country is TODAY and they should blame whatever….THEIR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND IGNORANCE. They are taking SOMALILAND in either two directions. 1. A direction that will take years before you or your child see a change, a small one, that will not benefit significantly neither of YOU. 2. Unknown direction that ONLY Allah knows!

Why I am blaming them.

A driver is ALWAYS responsible the passengers of his/her car. The passenger isn't the one who is driving the car, the driver is. The driver must know:
Shortcuts hence to save petrol
Avoid traffic hence save TIME
Drive in a sustainable speed and avoid accident!

The leaders of Somaliland are the drivers of the country and that is why I blame them where our country is TODAY.

A real education, EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION! is the ONLY way FORWARD and our politicians lack of education.. And BUT one who have education is lacking of interagency and Allah’s gift of being a genius.. May Allah HELP my beloved nation. I love YOU ALL.
