While HSM is pre-occuppied with SL, peoples livelihoods are being stolen!

[nord]

HSM needs to arm these people who are fighting back against illegal fishing. But he is worried with Somaliland.

Also noticed how the bbc only used one sentence to describe why this was happening

Hes not worried about sl. Wax kale aa idka dhigteen

[Himeniya]

there is a video (graphic) on the net of indho yar shooting somali pirates at sea, killing them, waa bilaa naxariis, too bad the thai vessel got away.

Somalia should asap invest in a coastguard with license to kill or at least we should confiscate every single vessel we catch.

Kudos to those pirates. Hassan sheikh should worry about why nigerian police are protecting his favourite place in mogadishu the liido beach, phuking stupid donkey.

The mindset of the Walaweyn is so fascinating.

Dadkoodaa meel kasta lagu wasaa, on land and sea yet they have so much hybris.

Their life is defined by the most illogical Walaweyn maahmaah, 'Mukulaal mininkeeda joogta miciyo libaax ayeey leedahay'.

I've never seen so much falsehood in one statement. If that MaahMaah was true, gidaar walba laguma waseen.

They are the very definition of losers. Their female relatives can get raped in front of them and they wouldn't bat an eyelid. I really wish they would stop claiming Somalis. It's embarrassing to be associated with them.

What Did the Researchers Do and Find?

Trained interviewers asked more than 8,000 military personnel about their own recent use of khat (chewing khat leaves releases an amphetamine-like stimulant), a legally traded drug in Somalia, where its use has long been commonplace. The interviewers also asked the respondents how much they thought others in their military personnel unit used khat and other drugs such as cannabis, psychoactive drugs (tranquilizers and other drugs that change mood, behavior, and thinking), solvents, alcohol, and hemp seeds. (Note that the researchers relied on perceived drug use; alcohol is illegal in Somalia, which is a Muslim country, and the use of drugs other than khat is not generally acknowledged.) Over the whole of Somalia, one-third of respondents said they had used khat recently. The highest levels of self-reported use were in southern/central Somalia, where up to two-thirds of combatants used it. More respondents in southern/central Somalia reported using an excessive amount of khat (more than two “bundles” of khat per day for one week) and having sleepless nights (a side-effect of khat) than in northern Somalia. The overall perceived use of khat (two-thirds of combatants) was higher than the self-reported use but similar in northern and southern/central regions. Finally, the perceived use of other drugs was highest in the southern/central regions.

Liquid,

You can't reason with these folks. Nacdal rabaaniya ayaa haysataa iyaga iyo wixii ay ka so tafiirmeen.

Lets see if the iidoor moderators allow this post...........

Hargeisa, Somalia - Every day trucks loaded with the narcotic plant khat, grown in northeastern Ethiopia, hurtle along rough roads through the desert to make fresh deliveries to eager customers across Somaliland.

It's estimated that 90 percent of adult males in the autonomous region of Somaliland chew khat for mirqaan, the Somali word for its euphoric effect.

Khat has become so enmeshed with Somaliland's culture and daily life it has become an important tax earner for the government. In 2014, khat sales generated 20 percent of the $152m budget.

"Khat is a massive burden on Somaliland's fragile economy since it means that a large percentage of its foreign currency is used to purchase khat," said Rakiya Omaar with Horizon Institute, a Somaliland consultancy firm helping communities transition from underdevelopment to resilience and stability.

Somaliland spends $524m a year - about 30 percent of its gross domestic product - on khat from Ethiopia, said Weli Daud with the Somaliland Ministry of Finance.

Compulsive distraction

Somaliland has a chronic unemployment problem - about 75 percent of its workforce are jobless - although this doesn't deter people from a monthly khat habit that can cost $300 a month.

"My friends lend me the money," said unemployed Abdikhalid in Hargeisa. "Once I'm employed again I will return the favour."

And what of the 10 percent not chewing khat?

"I don't chew as I know the effects," said 24-year-old university lecturer Abdukarim at a busy Hargeisa coffee shop. "Initially you feel happy, confident, strong and high. The problem is the result. At the end you are weak. It should be banned, but I don't want to say more here."

Hargeisa's bustling commerce doesn't appear adversely affected from the all-pervading khat habit. But Berbera, 150km north on the Somaliland coast, offers another perspective.

During the afternoon khat lull it turns into a ghost town. Despite a relatively busy small modern port operating on its outskirts, in the old town centre buildings are crumbling, its economy flatlining.

Saeed supported the 2014 khat ban implemented in the United Kingdom because of the negative impact khat was having on the Somali diaspora community.

"Khat would arrive at 5pm on the plane and by 6pm men had left homes and wouldn't return until 6am," Saeed said. "After the ban it was like people woke up from a deep sleep. They started looking for jobs, being part of the family."

Another concern in Somaliland is the rising number of teenagers chewing khat while smoking shisha, exacerbating health risks, Saeed said. She estimated about 20 percent of Somaliland women already chew khat - a figure which continues to rise - although they do so out of the public eye.
