(RADIO ERGO) - Lasanod youth have been planting trees in public places in Lasanod in an effort to green the dry town in northern Somalia’s drought-hit Sool region.

Abdiweli Yasin Suudi, chairman of the Environment and Social Development Club organising the campaign, said it was the first time anyone had taken on such an initiative.

“When we saw that trees are scarce in this city, we decided to do this work. We have planted 300 trees in hospitals, schools, universities, streets and other public places like the city centre,” he said.

The trees chosen are flowering and shade trees. The sapling trees are bought at $3.5 each from Buhodle, 70 km away in Togdheer. Member contributions are used to fund the campaign.

Hamdi Yusuf Awale, 18, the club’s vice-chair, is one of the 15 girls who make up the club’s membership of 25.  

“Girls are more enthusiastic in this campaign than the boys! Some of us contribute $10 a month,” she said. “When we started planting trees, people thought we were joking saying we were too young to come up with such a plan, but now they’ve seen our work and accepted our noble cause in protecting the environment.”

Abdihafid Hassan Abdirahman, leading the tree planting, said certain members were assigned to monitor the trees planted. “The sites where we planted the trees were very dry, without a single tree, but now the land has changed to green with many plants,” he said.

The youth club is also involved in cutting down a tree called Prosopis juliflora (‘algarroba’), as research carried out by Nugal University has shown that the tree prohibits the growth of indigenous vegetation and degrades pastoral grasslands.

The club also campaigns to stop littering with plastic bags, and to encourage residents to use cooking gas instead of charcoal to avoid deforestation.

This is really a wonderful effort that needs to be supported. What is surprising and strange, if true, is that the tree saplings are brought from Buuhoodle and are quite costly by local standards. It would be much cheaper to establish a tree nursery in Laascaanood to supply the saplings. Anyway kudos to the youth of Laascaanood for taking the initiative. Let's all support their efforts.

The noble Dhulbahante tribe who sacrificed thousands of their sons to save Eydoor from being majority Christian nation should kiss the noble Dhulbahante feet. Instead what did Eydoor di? They take advantage and start trying to expand their failed Disneyland project into your lands by bribing opportunistic Dhullo countryfolk.

The dhulloz need to unite real quick and slap these eydoor back to reality!

Nobody will recognise Sissyland. It's just a pipe dream and Siilmaanyo and his Iiddorian cohorts are ripping off the poor Somalis living in the triangle.They are now selling their ports and land to the highest bidder while the average iiddoor is wallowing in khat clouded poverty. I feel sorry for the average iiddoor because they have been duped by Siilmaanyo and the like, that they are different from other Somalis. Habar jeclos maybe, much more bantu than the average Somali, but really the rest are just starving skinnies like everyone else.
There is really no strong Dhulbahante leadership. The first Dhulbahante who burns Burco to the ground, will qualify to be called a real Dhulbahante leader. I think it's sad but the reality is that in any dispute, leadership only arises when blood is shed, and conflicts tend to be resolved much quicker. The Dhulbahante leaders like Cali Khaliif Galaydh are too sentimental. They reminisce about their time with Siilmaanyo and other iiddorians in Sheekh and how they are wiil iyo abtigiis. Puntland, Galmudug, etc were all born in blood. This is Somalia, Africa, nobody concedes without his village being burnt to the ground.

Burco and all the iiddor towns bordering the Dhulbahante must be burnt to the ground by the Dhulbahante, for them to realise their goals. There is really no other solution I think.

Laascaanood has prospered under our rule. Punani bitches and their Dhulo dhilooyin did nothing but once the "idoors" take over they turn it to a flourishing city.

Under Harti laaluush time Laascaanood was nothing, now it's a great SL city with proud Somalilanders inside. Either cry us an extra river to decorate Laascaanood with or actually embrace the changes and contribute (which you never will).

Sxb dhulloz are too weak and cheap. It's really easy to bribe them to join your side. That's why Hargeisa and Garowe are playing tug-of-war in the region. Dhulloz might have been "glorious" then but now they're our bitches. We don't care about the world, in fact, fuck 'em. As long as we have ourselves and our progress we will never bow down to anybody.

Isaaq are your masters now, whether you like it or not. Just stop wasting your time already and start polishing our shoes.

The government public services and security increased and improved than ever before. The only thing that declined in lasanod is the diaspora contribution. Those son of bitchs wasted all their resources and energy on violence, they advertised the negative side of their city labeling names like , lascanod the declined city, lasanod the occupied, claiming that the bulk of lasanod population fled to dadaab after the 2007 liberation. Every negative news or articles on lasanod Is created by none other than dhulbahante diaspora.

It's true that there has been some development in the later part of Somaliland's occupation of Las Anod, but that's due to the financing of NGO's. There is hardly any contribution the government of Somaliland has made in Las Anod. The Security deteriorated in the immediate aftermath of the capture; a new phenomenon of eliminating the cities elite surfaced, which caused the remaining population to feel even more hostile and indignant towards Somaliland. The security is satisfactory currently but there is still a long way to go.

Its also a fact that many residents evacuated the city when Somaliland entered and obviously this has led to the economic decline of the city, it's not something that's been fabricated by anti-Somaliland Dhulbahante diaspora. The Dhulbahante diaspora financed the liberation movements because their city was occupied by a rival clan; did you expect them to accept their fate and submit to Isaaq rule?!

Well done Sharmarke you are a true Dhulbahante patriot. I have met many Dhulbahante diaspora who would love to go back to their homeland but cant stand the thought of encountering the jaad inflicted iiddor and their local homeguards and collaborators.Since you were there recently could you enlighten us on two things I noticed in the footage, raw as it was.
The large amounts of garbage and rubble, as well as the near total lack of greenery. Is there no functional local government, ngo ' s, , women or youth groups or self help groups that can work to clean and green the city.
How active are the returning Dhulbahante diaspora in light of the shameful presence of Shanty land in the city.

- The vast majority of the city is clean but it's the market areas that seem to be more littered. A corrupt local government exists but, their efforts are minimal.

- Wallahi plenty of the diaspora has returned, I've met 6 different people from my city in the UK alone and many more from North America and Europe. I've also seen a couple of business ventures financed by the people from the diaspora that recently opened.

Zaki, you can make your points without mentioning bitches and dhillos, unless you are one. Sharmarke and I have pointed out that no administration has ever helped to build Laascaanood, it's built by its own people . The Habar Jeclo xoolo Bent Over posted some map showing the increase in size of Laascaanood and the fool attributed it to the presence of Shanty land. I forgive him because habar jeclo are feeble minded people, but the growth of laascaanod is attributable to rural urban migration, a common phenomenon in Africa. But I was talking about development of the city not growth in size and population, since the two are not necessarily the same.

The Dhulbahante elite of Laascaanood have left the city, and the few who have remained, as mentioned by Sharmarke, are the targets of sissy land and their local collaborators. Sissyland doesn't have the capacity to feed habar jeclo and Habar Yoonis nomads, let alone develop any city. Hargeisa is a cesspool as iiddoor themselves will tell you.

All Somalis are cheap, and iiddoor are the cheapest, they have sold their soul to any foreigner who will agree with them that they are different from other Somalis. That's why they will welcome Anderson Cooper and numerous other white faggots to Hargeysa, just to be told that they are special and distinct from the "other" Somalis.

Zaki, I guess you are one of the effeminate iiddoor boys who hosted Anderson Cooper, and since you love using the words bitch and love, I'm sorry if you were used as one by Anderson Cooper. You certainly are special and different from other Somalis.

What kind of rival clan waar dhulbahantaw 10 qarni baynu dagaalamaynay horta midkeena ka kale awaawgii lama soo gumaysan no matter waxaynu dhul iyo geel kala qaadnay. Rag maanta 2016 ciil idiin qaboo libin raadisa ma nihin ee waxan aad yar iyo weyn isku mashquuliseen iska dhaafa oo dadkiina dhinac ka raaca. 2007 walay naga tahay hadaanu isaaq ama habarjeclo nahay midkaayana meel kuma tashan in dhuloos Lagu duulo.

Dawlad nin gadabuursiyi hogaaminayo oo oodaheeda wadataa lascanod dawlad kale ka qaaday. Dad Somaliland qaramaysato ugumaydaan horayn ciise muuse iyo Garxajis ba idinka sii horeeyey oo sidiinaa yidhi qabiil kalaa nagu soo duulay ilaa ay aakhirkii daaleen markay Ogaden in waxan ay la dirirayaan qabiil ka xoog weyn yahay . Idina sidii baad ku socotaan guulna ka gaadhi maysaan oo walaahiya ee Dhako kale keena oo aynu idaha iyo wananka sii fiican isugu darsano.


Bal inaad waalantihiin Dunidan hawiye ugandha wato , ee MJ iyo daarood oo dhan xabashi iyo Kukuuyo la saaxibeen baad iidoor la qiyili kari la,adihiin. Kkkk

shut the phuk up , you phuking wanlaweyn. Alshabaab Teenage boys, Bantu iyo xabashi baa adigaba kubad kugu dul ciyaaraya aabahaa wase maad iska celisid oo lugahaaga isku taagtid hadaad naf leedihiin. Tiisaba daryeelaa tu kale ku dara.

The yusuf,

Horta ninyahaw waxaa fiican in runta laysu sheego, sheeka baralay iyo mala awal waa laga fiicanyahay. Aadaneeynu nahay , waanu khaldi karaa, in laysa saxo , Dir iyo Daaroodba ma xuma. Hayeeshee riwaayaddan aad mudda jileysey baad si dhab ah u aamintaye , aan ku yara saxo ninyahaw.

Dawladdan aad sheeganayso , waa mid qabiil ku saleysan, waana qabiilka aad sheegato. Waa maamul beeleed iiddor, in dadkale laysku balaadhiyo oo dawladnimo loo sheegto gar maaha. Haddey iska kaa celiyaan, waa gartood, ilayn haddii daladdii Soomaaliwayn burburtey, nin walba gar buu u leeyahay inuu isu taliyo. Haddaad taa garan weydey, dee waa gardaro , waa xiniinya taabasho, inaan qoorta kuu dheereeyaa waa gartey.

Ta labaad, haddii dadkani ku oggolyihiin oo qaddiyaddaadana kugu raacsanyihiin , muquuninta iyo ciidamadan dhulka tuban maxaa keenay. Haddii lays jecelyahay sidaad mooddey, ciidamo looma baahdeen. Ninna Soomaali ma rabuu leeyahay, ninna Soomaali baan rabaa. Waa laba qaddiyadood aan is oggolayn, hal mawqifna sandule laguma heli karo, ciidan kastood soo dhoobto. Aney tayda meel mari waa tu aan lagu heshiinayn. Labadaa yaw garniqi doonaa.

Dhulbahante maruun buu heeryada iska rogi, wakhti kastaba ha qaadatee.

Teeda kale, Yuusufoow,Soomaali oo dhan baa waalan, waxaad Soomaali ka sheegtay idinna waad qabtaan.

Ta ugu dambeysa,Iiddoor waa Soomaali, weligiis waa lala qayila jiraye, laakiin markuu Soomaali ka go'ay, oo Dhulbahante, Warsangeli, Ciise iyo Gudabiirsay shaadh dawladeed oo iiddornimo ku saleysan u soo gashtey, baa qayilaaddu joogsatey. Kkkk.

Bal fahan, haddaan iiddoor nimo ku qaadin, Waxa ragga kala kexeeyey.

An accident on the Southern bridge of Laascaanood.

The bridge looks badly dilapidated and in need of repair, otherwise a lot more accidents will happen. The decaying infrastructure built by the Somali Government under Maxamed Siyaad Barre, needs to be overhauled, and I don't think the pretenders to the throne are capable of living up to the task.
This is the tragedy of living in a failed and collapsed state .
