Did the UK and the IC elect Siilanyo?
Did Uk and IC speak for and represent those who are effected by the corruption?
Does the UK and the IC have the best interest of reer SL at heart?

If the nation that saw him to be president cannot do something about internal Issues what possible good can IC do?

Lets all be bi'tches and run to the IC and UK. Go on, stub each other in the back while you claw your way and race to get the best comfortable position on David Cameron's lap.

I always believed Duriyada had more sense than to act like a woman scorned.

The opposition are bunch of clueless cun'ts who couldn't find their way out of a one door tent.

And they want to rule?

There is no wada tashi nor is there an opposition. The two old fartz are looking for an easy way to grab power having failed to gain support. Now they think EU and IC are hooyadood. Let them beg.

You must be kidding or you don't know nothing about SL?

This government already sold us to UK and IC when they attended London Conference on Somalia 2012 and agreed to be part of the new deal agreement under Somaliland special arrangement deal...under this deal SL had access to direct financial fund from the UK and the EU.

one thing for sure, you can't take UK and IC money without being accountable, When SL army entered Talex to evict kastumo militias the IC ordered this government to withdraw our troops and they did,also when SL was about to set up a new protection force for the oil workers the IC showed concerns and SL stopped this project, also when SL sentenced criminal to the firing squad the IC intervened and SL stopped the executions .
as for running to the UK and IC, the senile silanyo was the pioneer in this matter, in 2009 and in order to compact any extension from the guurti to UDUB government he run to UK and IC to intervene and they did ,the result was a 6 point agreement between the political parties to set up an election in 2010.

the opposition have been shouting for years about corruption in the government and it was falling on deaf ears, even SL media have written about it and they ended up being detained in jails or having their licenses revoked and their headquarters raided by RRU.

This is a link to Human rights report in Somaliland for the year 2014,it was prepared by a local NGO in Somaliland concerned with human rights in SL.

How did this government respond, total rejection of all the contents of this report.

I don't blame the opposition for taking this matter to the UK and IC and follow the footstep of kulimye back in 2009.


and what the hell duriyada have to do with all of this?!!.....Somaliland and isxaaq are not synonym.

you are right about that but I still believe complaining to ingiriis cade is not the best way to go. Like a school kid who had his lunch money taken from him and threaten to tell the principle.

I understand what you saying but my only concern is that this will reinforce the idea that nothing can be done internally and the best course of action is to take your complaint abroad. Maybe I am just naive and guilty of having faith in the people SL and believing that they are a cut above the rest when it comes handling their affairs.

Is that giving too much credit to reer Somaliland, I wonder?

THE SUNDAY MIRROR INVESTIGATES: HOW COMIC RELIEF WAS RIPPED OFF: HE BIG CON; Charity got TV viewers' pounds 250k after Big Yin showed babies suffering in a Somali hospital. Where did cash go?
Link/Page Citation
Byline: GRAHAM JOHNSON Investigations Editor

AN urgent probe has been launched after thousands of pounds went missing from a Comic Relief campaign backed by comic Billy Connolly.

Rogue charity workers - not connected with Comic Relief - are accused of siphoning-off money meant for sick African children and splashing out on expensive cars, lavish salaries and new houses.

An investigation into a suspected benefits fraud in Britain is also under way. The Somaliland Refugee Action Group (SORAG) was pledged pounds 246,917 by the Red Nose fund after Connolly made a heart-rending appeal from the war-torn desert last year. So far SORAG has received pounds 111,680, the first instalment of a three-year grant.

But the Sunday Mirror can reveal that investigators are trying to trace pounds 83,000 earmarked for the children's wings of two of the poorest hospitals in the world.

The charity's directors admit that NONE of the Comic Relief money has been spent on helping needy kids.

A donation of pounds 51,000 sent to Somalia cannot be accounted for and the charity official who cashed the cheque has disappeared.

The rogue worker absconded with at least pounds 20,000 in cash after being suspended and another charity worker embezzled pounds 7,000.

A further pounds 32,000 which should have gone to Somalia to help people with mental disorders was not sent but is said to have been spent in Britain on "management, administration and rent" at a new office.

One former board member is accused of investing funds in a property development.

Police and health authorities in Somalia say they are desperately trying to trace the missing funds.

And Ali Scott of Comic Relief said: "It's frightening. It's hideous. No more money will go to SORAG."

The Big Yin's January 2003 appeal from the Hargeisa Group Hospital in Somaliland - a province of Somalia which is fighting for independence - was one of the most harrowing in the history of Comic Relief. The one-hour BBC1 documentary, called Billy Connolly - Not a Feelgood Nicey Nicey Film, raised record donations.

The comic described the wards where goats run wild and the steriliser dates back to 1953 as a "glimpse of hell".

A boy with a broken bone sticking out of his arm who had waited three days for treatment moved the tough Glaswegian to the point of tears.

Before Billy's visit, Comic Relief had never given money to the hospital. Later he insisted that a donation must be made to improve in-patient care at Hargeisa and another clinic in Berbera.

SORAG was set up in 1990 to help physically and mentally disabled Somali refugees in the UK. Last year they set up an international wing to fund projects in Somalia.

So big-hearted Billy will be shocked to learn that Somalian health officials accuse some SORAG staff of blowing money on houses and cars.

Directors have admitted that there is suspicion over a former treasurer who bought a large house and rented it out to a Norwegian aid organisation for pounds 2,000 per month.

SORAG director Ahmed Yussuf said he was at a loss to account for most of the Comic Relief cash. Yussuf, who earns pounds 25,000 a year plus expenses, said: "We are investigating a fraud. We have suspended the consultant in Somalia who was in charge of the money and he has vanished."

A board member added: "At the moment I suspect he took at least pounds 20,000. Another man was given pounds 7,000 which we didn't know about.

"We are investigating where the rest is. None of it has gone to the clinics."

Dr Yassin Arab, director of the Hargeisa Group Hospital, said a SORAG official had promised money. But he added: "The hospital has not yet received any help from SORAG."

Somali Mental Health minister Ahmed Omer Hersi said: "We have not received any funds or any other form of assistance from SORAG."

And Minister of Health Osman Qasim has asked for a police investigation. Sunday Mirror investigators found that SORAG transferred the charity's funds out of the UK using a banking system called Hawala, a money-transfer method. Saad Shire, manager of the respectable Dahabshill money transfer agents, said: "We have transferred pounds 33,000 for SORAG to Somalia. They (SORAG) were pledged pounds 250,000 by Comic Relief." He said he believed pounds 47,000 was passed among some SORAG workers and the rest taken out of Britain using different Hawalas.

In Britain, Social Services are investigating claims that SORAG was paid hundreds of thousands of taxpayers' pounds to take care of disabled Somali asylum seekers in Britain. But although the cash was paid to SORAG by 12 local councils, some patients say they received no care - a fraud known as "ghosting".

Refugee Ismail Baaw of Greenwich, London, claims the charity used his name fraudulently to get pounds 6,000 over six years. Baaw said: "SORAG was paid to give me four hours care at pounds 9 an hour per week between 1995 and 2001 for cooking, cleaning and shopping. I got no help."

The care package was stopped in August 2001 after Baaw reported the charity's activities to Social Services.

Greenwich Council has paid SORAG pounds 250,000 this year - and much more in total over recent years - to cover 48 contracts. Other Somali war veterans also claim to have been ripped off by SORAG.

Posing as benefit fraudsters, Sunday Mirror investigators visited SORAG in Woolwich, London.

A SORAG official revealed how he duped Social Services into handing out benefits. Official: "One option is to say the person is mentally ill."

Investigator: "So you can get money for someone who is not disabled?" Official: "Yes. We sort out everything."

A spokeswoman for Greenwich Social Social Services said: "We are aware of these allegations. We are investigating and currently not buying any new services from SORAG."

After meeting Comic Relief on Friday, SORAG officials reported the fraud to the police.

Comic Relief's Ali Scott said: "We recently became aware of the possibility of misappropriation of funds in Somalia and are taking this allegation very seriously."

Last night pounds 30,000 held in a SORAG bank account had already been frozen.
