A qadaadweyn young person would rather bash somaliland on Facebook than take a gun and defend his country. A qadaadweyn profesor would rather write complain letters against somaliland than responding to the countless annual bad reports about his country .
Yusufow xaasidnimada waa la isku cadaaba.

Talaabadani wa mid aad u anfici doonta Somalia ee ha ka xumaan.

Somalia waxay higsanasa oo magacadibia ninkani u sahli doonta in lacag cusub dalka loo samayo, aduun-waynuhuna wuu ku aamini doona dawlada inu daymo iyo deeqoba siiyo wixi dayn hore loogu lahana laga cafiyo.

Marka wax qabadka NOLOL IYO NABAD wa la soo dhawaynaya, barlamankina manta ayu u codeyay oo ajiibay dawlada.
Xeer 6 decades lagu soo dhaqmayey baa gaalkaa loo bedelay saacado kooban . Hadhaw marka madaxwayne hawiye ah Taliyaha sirdoonka nin maraykana u magacaaba yaan lagu arki adigoo la yaaban. Nabad iyo nolol kulahaa. Xagay Nabada iyo noloshu taal saw kuwan dadkii u qarqarxayaan sida biibiilaha maalin kasta . Awawl 3 dii isbuuc bay Mar ahaan jirtay imika waaba joogto.

However there is no way of spinning this, no doubt the cadaan guy would be more productive then any somali named for that position but regardless this is inexcusable and a giant L for the administration.

Hopefully it's not true tho or I pray they come to their gotdaam senses asap.
The man don't even have experience nor a economic diploma. Also he was part of Soma oil. Nabad iyo nolol are amazing yesterday Haysom got kicked out for not respecting somalia's sovereignty today they are defending this cadaan who has no experience whatsover. They even f-king changed the constitution for this white man. Only 17 mps refused rest got bribed. The pm made a party for the mps tonight celebrating.

Sharafi dhimatay. Maxa ku dhacay somalidii they all turned into caado qaatayaal
You put everyone in Nabad iyo Nolol into a single camp, Nabad iyo Nolol could be described as a wide church, I personally am against any foreigner working in such positions, whether they are white or ethiopian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavily_i ... _countries

at-least we had no choice :lol:
Yeah I thought as much, the IMF does not trust Somalia, and I cannot even blame them, and we have no unity to tell the IMF to fuck and go rogue, we are part of their system now, so we might as well trust our leaders who do not shy away from kicking out people against our interest, it makes sense now.

the opposition today is so bad, that even when they have a point it always backfires, because they are only interested in doing character assassination on Farmaajo rather than focusing on policies concerning the nation.

People who say Somalis are corrupted need to realise, at the end of every corrupt politician is a white guy with a cooperation pulling the strings, see this appointment as nothing more than IMF getting their pound of flesh from Somalia as it does from every other nation on this effing plannet, except very few.

Maybe this British foreigner is what we need since the Central Bank has proven really difficult when it comes to fighting corruption. At least now we know everything will be done by the book.

Abkoow, remember Yusuf Abraar. She fled the country a month later to resign after Hassan Sheikh's Chief of Staff Kamal Guutaale threatened her to turn the other cheek when she wanted to stop Damjadiid using the Central Bank as a slush fund.

Who cares if you condemned it. Was anything done? Let's try something new
You missed the point Nigel has no experience. He got a agriculture diploma. He got fired from IMF. Come on don't be retarded n emotional. If he was actually competent i wouldn't mind.

I’m totally against this, and I don’t find the arguments for this convincing. I think most Somalis will have a negative gut reaction just like they did with the Qalbidhagax disaster. However this isn’t enough to withdraw support for the government, and if it turns out to be really successful I will reconsider my position. Let’s see what happens.

One this is for sure is that the central bank has been used and abused no matter who has been in charge. But I also believe it is important for Somalis to learn to rule themselves.

The real story here is how quickly the constitution was amended without any real hearings and without the 2/3rds majority needed to push the amendment through.

Plenty of countries have turned to foreigners in very difficult times.

-The UK under David Cameron turned to the Canadian Mark Carney after the 2008 crash. It was the first time in British history that a non-UK citizen was picked as the Governor of the Central Bank of the UK.

-A lot of post-conflict nations get a foreigner to increase fiscal reaponsibility and investor confidence like Congo turned to Erwin Blumenthal, Zambia to Jacques Busseries, Bosnia to Serge Roberts, etc.

This is not a lifetime appointment and is being very politicized by shame notions of "nationalism." It's those same nationals stealing from their people and short shifting them that necessitate this.

I am not really bothered by the nationality of this pick or any pick of a foreigner.

What I am bothered by is exactly what Shirib said. The ease to which they can simply change the constitution is a very dangerous precedent and one that needs a serious reform in whatever final constitution we get.

Bruh stop sugar coating things. The canadian your talking about also worked in the canadian central bank. The issue is not about nationality. This english man has no experience he studied agriculture. Also he is part of Soma oil. Horta lets be honest why would a qualified competent cadaan work in the central bank of the shithole that is Somalia? :russ:
