Constraints for Solid Waste Management in Somaliland

Many foreign scholars have researched and studied on many aspects of Somaliland’s development as well as it’s shortcomings, highlighting what is lacking, what is working well, and ways to improve some of them. Such readily available researches would save the nation a great deal of time and money to have been spent while leading to a rapid development. But unfortunately, the Somaliland leadership either does not know much about its existence or sees it as merely a literature insignificant to the country’s development.

Somaliland has an 850 km long coastline that borders the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

The Life in Prison 1981-1989 by Late Dr. Adan Yusuf Abokor – UFFO Member

When each one of us was locked up in solitary confinement, in single separate cells, that was the moment everybody started reflecting on what was going to happen to him and to his friends. One of the coping mechanisms we used was to convince ourselves that this was not going to last long, that this would not continue for long, that we would not remain there for long.

Preferential Voting to Fix Somaliland Elections

In the era of late Somaliland President Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal, Somalilanders have adopted a constitution that limits the number of political parties to three. This was a lesson learned from the 1969 elections in the Somali republic when 64 parties contested in the elections. These parties were proxies for sub-clans who wanted representation. No one offered political choices based on ideology and policies Continue reading “Preferential Voting to Fix Somaliland Elections”
