I"m referring to both, because this information is public and it's all over the internet so your attack on Samadoon was unfair. As for Sahan, he hasn't said anything that was out of place to warrant such attack from you...

Maybe you're just having a bad day today, who knows :mrgreen:

How powerful and influential can a somali-American firm be?
Well, the whole point of lobbying is to be legit and genuine organization that represents and speaks for its people, so who will take serious an American, white, christian man, who has never been to Somalia or has no connection to it, to lobby for it?

Money works, as long as you have the money, you could hire ex-senators or government members, lawyers, to do the lobby for you. the company name, president and majority of the members should be Somalis, but the board members could be paid powerful American politicians and lawyers.

But when the company name doesn't include Somalia, and both the president and the board memers doesn't include Somalis, how do they represent Somalia, except that they are paid. plus this company does other things, and works for other companies or countries, we want an organization that is solely for Somalia 24/7.

Madelina it is confidential documents as per the contract and not meant for third party distribution. It is not a public document as per the sentence I quoted from the contract. This samadoon dude should stop being our own inept julian asange.
As for me having a bad day, yes I always have a bad day. Must be this chronic constipation I have been having for past five years.

As for Sahan his ways anger more somalis than ever. I am actually surprised no one kneejerkly picked on my beastily comment and hurled an insult or two my way kindly... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Cheers

WTF are they lobbying for? They are a product of the west to further their interest in Somalia. These fools are being kept afloat by western donor money, why waste it by giving it back with zero gain.


To the thread starter why don't the SSC invest in a lobbying body instead of sending old ladies to stand in front of western embassies in the cold?
