The Huda Barkhad Republic, after the name of his wife, a cetaceous of 300 kilos that enjoys eating daily caviar imported through Egypt, at the moment the quasi-totality of her realm´s population is starving.
Go through the following detailed analysis, earlier published in two leading portals of the realm, and you will understand. Monica Lewinsky may understand too; she may even spend some brief summer holidays in the realm where Huda Barkhad can give her a lesson or two!
By contrast president Rayale practiced both corruption and nepotism. He used government money to buy properties.
Rayale´s practice of nepotism is evidenced by the following:
The exclusive rights for fishing in the coastal area stretching from Lughaya into Zayla to Almis Fishing Company, a firm owned by one of Rayale´s kinsmen. Almis Fishing was one of 10 prospectors who applied for fishing license to operate in the same zone which is rich in shrimps. But this whole lucrative area has since been declared off-limit to operators except Almis Fishing. Since Rayale became president the number of Awdalians holding key positions within the government has increased significantly. Moreover, there have been noticeable efforts at ensuring that government officers from the region who were recruited during Rayale´s time as vice present retain their positions. But the increase has not been equitably distributed among clans in the region.
For example the Reer Nuur to which both Osman and the first lady belong, received more jobs than the rest including Rayale´s Jibril Younis. The disproportionality is obviously the work of Huda Barkhad and Osman.
Members of the Reer Nuur recruited after Rayale´s ascendancy:
1. Osman Abdi Sheikh, project officer at NOW (Besides his business and portfolio as the presidency´s point man and most valuable crony)
2. Abdi Dahir, Director General of Finance, Somaliland Army.

The first lady Huda Barkhad bought two pieces of land located each behind Maansoor hotel in the northern part of Hargeysa city and near Ambassador Hotel to the south. Each is estimated to cost over $10,000. The plot behind Maansoor hotel was purchased through [the well-known] real estate dealer, Aga weyne. But as shown by Hargeysa municipality documents, the title deed for the plot situated near the Ambassador was issued in the name of Sa´ado Barkhad, a sister of the first lady.
A farm located to the east of Amoud University and owned by the Barkhad family was extended for 300 meters into the perimeters of the campus illegally by the first lady [Huda Barkhad].
