Lord Diplock,

Hargeisa is awersome walle. I have been here for less than a week and I am having an amazing time. This place is vibrant and the job is really challenging but very rewarding. There is so much to do here and I am relishing the experience and looking forward to teaching when it offically starts.

The timetable is very flexible so I am working on a few other projects.

There are more than 3,000 students at the university. All students must go through the faculty of education. The language of instruction at the university is English, so all student irrespective of faculties must go through the faculty of education to obtain their degrees. Most class sizes are more than 50 students. The facilities are fairly new.

[Lord Diplock]

So, you're now teaching English miya? when will you teach Law then? is it Common Law or the Law of Somaliland, if such body of laws exist? I know you have a written constitution and a supreme court, but how big is their case law? do they follow English law principles or is it indigenous laws fused with Islamic law? I am fascinated by this.

Snoop,

Saxib, we must all take an active role in the development of our people. There are many young people here working for local NGOs and in all aspects of civil society. There is a higher number of people working in capacity building projects, I am quite sceptical of many of these projects because it creates dependence and acts as an obstacle to local and traditional methods as methods of solving local issues. Nonetheless, its very encouraging to hear that you want to get involved in similar projects. I have established some connections here so do drop me a PM so I can put you in touch with organisations who you might be able to work for, or at the very least support.

Lord Diplock,


I am just doing seminars in the department of Law but the faculty uses an infusion of civil law, some common law and sharia law. There is also sharia law and xeer alternative dispute resolutions mechanism. The latter is very interesting.

Marc i'm from Caabudwaaq in central Somalia, i think what you are doing in Hargaisa is great, i like the idea of more educated Somalis working in different areas of development back home.



Lord Diplock, i haven't finished my degree yet but inshallah i'm really interested in working at a international English speaking college or university somewhere in my homeland.

Snoop,

You cannot have development in isolation. There is a very good friend of mine from London here as well who is from Galkacyo. He is doing an amazing job here, of course, this is after he spent some time in Puntland doing many projects. I would suggest you start doing research in those areas of development that interest you. There are many projects across the Somali peninsula. check this very interesting site - there are daily updates of jobs and positions:
