Ballot for Upcoming Elections must Include Referendum Statement on Dissolving the Union with Somalia

Somaliland has held a referendum in 2001 throughout the country for ratifying the new constitution. That referendum was designed for the approval of the Somaliland Constitution, but it never intended to help the Somaliland case of dissolving its union with Italian Somalia.

Rethinking Secondary Education in Africa

Secondary education is critical to achieving the vision of economic transformation laid out in the African Union’s Agenda 2063. But current indicators suggest that most countries are far from realizing this promise. Access, while increasing, remains low compared to other regions and considerable inequities for girls and youth in rural areas persist. Beyond access, measures of learning and relevance of curricula indicate that youth are not graduating with the skills they need to navigate transitions to work.

سياسة التعليم في صوماليلاند لا تلبي احتياجات البلد

وبينما كان لديّ الوقت للتعليق على سياسة التعليم في أرض الصومال، فقد عثرت على هذه الرسالة المفتوحة الموجهة إلى وزير التعليم، مما زاد من قلقي.
100- وبما أن التعليم يلعب دوراً هاماً في حياة الفرد والمجتمع، وكذلك في التنمية والتقدم في كل بلد، يجب أن تُصمَّم السياسة التعليمية بطريقة تمكنها من توجيه نظام التعليم ومكوناته الأساسية بكفاءة لتلبية الاحتياجات في البلد.
ولا تتماشى السياسة الحالية المتبعة في التعليم العالي على وجه الخصوص مع الأولويات الأساسية لكل من المجتمع والأمة. ولم تخلق سوى سوق مزدهرة للمعلمين والأساتذة الأجانب واستنزاف جيوب طلاب أرض الصومال وأولياء أمورهم دون إعدادهم للعمل ولا للحياة كما هو متوقع Continue reading “سياسة التعليم في صوماليلاند لا تلبي احتياجات البلد” →

While having in mind for some time now to comment on the Somaliland Education Policy, I stumbled upon this open letter to the Minister of Education, which heightened my concern. 

As education plays an important role in the life of the individual and in the society, as well as in the development and progress of each country, the Education Policy must be designed in a way that it can efficiently guide the education system and its basic components to cater for the needs in the country.

The State of Energy in Somaliland

SLPA Q3 Analytical Op-Ed- by Engineer Abdisamed Artan
Somaliland’s State of Energy

Developing countries have one large need limiting their ability to progress and advance – access to affordable, reliable, and clean energy. After all, companies and societies cannot thrive sustainably without access to reasonable electricity and petroleum products. While this pressing issue happens in developing countries around the world, one prime example is Somaliland, where electricity and petroleum products are priced higher than those in their peer countries.
