Hargeysa(Qaran-news)-Guddoomiyaha ku meel-gaadhka ah ee xisbiga Waddani Xildhibaan Cabdiqaadir Jirde, ayaa soo jeediyay in guddi baadhiseed loo saaro dhacdadii ka dhacay garoonka kubadda cagta ee magaalada Hargeysa, waxaanu sidoo kale ka jawaabay hadal uu murashaxa iyo guddoomiyaha KULMIYE Md. Muuse Biixi Cabdi kaga hadlay dhacdadan.

Xildhibaan Jirde, oo xalay warbaahinta la hadlay wuxuu sheegay inuu goob-joog ka ahaa ciyaartii Daad-madheedh iyo Hawd, waxaanu ammaanay ciyaartii labada kooxood oo uu ku tilmaamayd mid qurux iyo xarago lahayd. Jirde wuxuu hadalkiisa ku bilaabay “Anigu garoonka ciyaartu ka socotay waan joogay, si wanaagsan ayay ciyaartu u socotay, taageerayaal is dilaya maan arag, ciyaartooy gudahooda dagaalamaya maan arag, waxaanan anigu ka soo baxay markii ay gool iyo gool maraysay oo jawigu degenyahay. Markaan waraystay dadkii ciyaarta dhammaystay ee ilaa dhammaadkii joogay waxay yidhaahdeen qaska iyo rabshadu waxay ka bilaabantay markuu boolisku damcay inuu dadkii tarabaruunka fadhiyay dareeriyo oo uu markaas gas-maasna ku riday, ulo iyo budhadhna la dhacay.

Arrintaas ayaa sida ay dad goob joog ahi ii xaqiijiyeen keentay gadoodka dhallinyaradii ciyaarta daawanaysay iyo kuwii dibadda joogayba.”

Cabdiqaadir oo hadalkiisa sii wataa wuxuu yidhi “Anigu u qiil samayn maayo rabshadaha iyo dhibaatada dhacday, oo dhallinyarada waxa mar walba laga rabaa inay ciidamada amniga la shaqeeyaan oo ixtiraamaan oo ay u hoggaasamaan awaamiirtooda. Laakiin waa bini-aadam oo marka la xanuujiyo iyana way gadoodayaan.”

Isagoo soo jeedinaya in arrintan guddi baadhiseed loo saaro wuxuu yidhi “Waxaanan ku talin lahaa in loo saaro guddi baadhitaan oo xaqiiqada dhabta ah soo ogaata si wax looga barto hadhoow oo aanay taasi mar dambe garoomadeena ka dhicin waa in la saaro guddigaas oo ay hoggaaminayso wasaaradda ciyaaraha, ururada bulshada iyo dawladda hoose ee Hargeysa.”

Isagoo hadalkiisa sii wata kana hadlaya dadka rasaasta booliska ku dhaawacmay wuxuu yidhi “Waxa kale oo iyana aan qiil loo helayn anigoo ka xun dhaawicii askarta soo gaadhay ee dhagaxa lala dhacay oon Cisbitaalka ku booqday in haddana dadka xabad nool loo adeegsado waxaan soo arkay ilaa shan qof oo shacab ah oo dhaawac rasaaseed ku taalo taasina wax qiil loo heli karo gaal iyo Islaam toona maaha.

Waxa wanaagsan in arrimahaasi aanay inagu soo noqon oo booliska loo tababaro sida garoomada ciyaaraha loo hago markay ciyaaruhu ka socdaan oo la isticmaalo asluub iyo xirfad aan keeni karin gadoodka daawadayaasha. Waxaana la gaadhay maalintii dhaqankaas wax laga bedeli lahaa ee wax la korodhsan lahaa ee rasaasta nool ee la ridayo la xaaraantimayn lahaa. Waa in wax kale oo ka duwan rasaastaas la adeegsado waana waajib shciib iyo dawladba ina saaran. Ciidanka Booliska iyo shacabkana waan ka tacsiyadaynayaa dhibaatada iyo dhaawacyada gaadhay iyaga iyo eheladoodaba, waanan ku booqday cibsitaalka Hargeysa.”

Guddoomiyaha Waddani isagoo ka jawaabaya hadal uu sheegay inuu murashaxa iyo guddoomiyaha KULMIYE Muuse Biixi dhacdadan kaga hadlay wuxuu yidhi “Waxaan maqlaayay guddoomiyaha KULMIYE oo leh dad dalkan inay hoggaaminayaan wax ka doonaya ayaa ka qayb qaatay arrintan oo abaabulay. hadalkaasina hadal masuuliayd darro ah weeye in wax la dejiyo ayaa loo baahanyahay ee in wax la kiciyo looma baahna. Dhibaatada soo gaadhay ciidamadeena iyo

muwaadiniinteenaba in cod lagu doonto oo lagu kaambayn gareeyaa waa xaaraan, taasna waxaan u sheegayaa inay siyaasiyiintu ka digtoonaato oo qaranimadeena iyo sumcadeena wax u dhimaysa.”

Marka hore waxaan Jamaal Cali Xussien iyo taageera-yaashiisa ka tacsi yadeynayaa geerida ku timi xisbigii UCID ee Faizal iyo Muse Biixi iyo Maxamoud Xashi wasiirka madaxtooyada ay wada gowraceen.ee shalay Hargiesa lagu aasay. Samir iyo iimaan ilaahay ha idinka siiyo geeridu waa xaq oo wax waliba way dhintaan e. Halkaa marka xaal marayo Jamaal iyo taageera-yaashiisu waxay u baahan yiin in aanay xabaasha UCID dib u eegin ee ay tallo fiican gaadhaan oo sidii ay Faizal iyo Muse iyo Maxamoud Xashi ba u fashilin lahaayeen ka wada shaqeeyaan. isbahaysigii Kulmiye ka baxay way tashadeen oo waxay goa”an ku gaadheen in ay xisbiga Waddani ku biiraan si ay wadanka hogaan xumo uuga badbaadiyaan. Hadaba hadii garabka Jamaal ee gardaradu ku dhacday sidii isbahaysiga Kulmiye ay iyaguna doonayaan in Waddanka loo gurmado oo hogaan xumo laga ilaaliyo waxa haboon in iyaguna ay ku biiraan xisbiga Waddani. Sida qudha ee garabka jamaal kuna aarsan karo hogaan xumana lagaga badbaadi karaa waa sidaa oo waa siday yeeleen raggii ruug cadaaga ahaa ee Xirsi lahaa ee Maxamed Biixi Yonis lahaa ee Xussien Caydiid lahaa iyo qaar kaloo badan. Dulmiga Faizal sameeyey waxa ku taageer tay xukuumada bulshaduna way aragtaa hadaba garabka Jamaal albaabka qudha ee u furani waa xisbiga Waddani wixii aan sidaa ahayniba waa bar kuma taal oo labadan askari ee asqyasan iskama celin karaan oo dowlada oon qudhoodu jeclayn bay mar-mar garab ka helaan sida bur-burinta xisbiga ucid. Samir iyo iimaam qaata ucid horena u socda dibna ha eegina xaqiiqdana ku dhaqma oo ah in aan ucid dambe jirayn ee diga rogta. Cali Gurrey na midh baan idhi waa munaafaq ee ka durka maalintiina ucid buu ahaan jiray habeen kiina Kulmiye iminkana waakaa cadystay ba.

PRESS RELEASE

An expected 300 participants will converge in Nairobi, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, financiers, market specialists, government representatives and policy makers working towards Africa’s growth and development
BRUSSELS, Belgium, November 10, 2016/ — This year’s Africa Finance & Investment Forum (AFIF) (http://APO.af/EjovGX) will focus on “Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Growth” and will be held for the first time in the vibrant city of Nairobi, Kenya, hosted by the Strathmore University, taking place from 15th -16th February 2017.

In line with growing regional and international trends, this year’s edition of AFIF will focus on entrepreneurship and innovation and access to finance in key sectors such as energy, water, ICT, health and agriculture.

Participants will be able to experience a 360° event, which includes an exclusive training for entrepreneurs, a dynamic market place, tailor-made B2B meetings (for all participants, speakers and partners using EMRC matchmaking programme) and the EMRC-Rabobank Entrepreneurship Award (http://APO.af/l7s2wQ) to celebrate innovation and excellence.

An expected 300 participants will converge in Nairobi, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, financiers, market specialists, government representatives and policy makers working towards Africa’s growth and development.

“At EMRC we believe that SMEs are the key drivers for growth: In developed regions they are responsible for over 50% of GDP and over 60% of employment and economies across Sub Saharan Africa follow a similar model,” explains Inês Bastos, Senior Project Manager at EMRC and heading AFIF 2017. “To encourage SME growth in Africa, AFIF offers an interactive platform for the entrepreneurs making a difference, for the financiers already investing in Africa, as well as for the larger financial institutions and enterprises interested in accessing this growing market segment.”

This belief will be highlighted during the EMRC-Rabobank Entrepreneurship Award (http://APO.af/l7s2wQ), which will showcase innovative projects happening in Africa and offer investors an opportunity to get to know about solid and growing business from across the continent.

To further encourage strong and active business meetings, that will take place during allocated times and also informally, EMRC will organise a pre-conference training on “A Road-map for Entrepreneurship Growth” (13th -14th February 2017). The training is addressed exclusively to AFIF 2017 participants and will be divided in two linguistic groups (English and French).

The international media will also be present to highlight these projects and to give the opportunity to speakers and partners to gain local, regional and international visibility. The African Press Organisation will be the forum’s African News Wire, providing extensive coverage and visibility.

The demonstrators were protesting against alleged government corruption when police used teargas and batons to disperse them
A group of UN human rights experts* has condemned a violent clampdown on a peaceful protest in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, while urging the authorities to investigate claims of excessive use of force and arbitrary arrest – both against demonstrators and journalists – and to hold all perpetrators accountable. The demonstrators were protesting against alleged government corruption when police used teargas and batons to disperse them. A number of people are reported to have been injured or detained during the incident on 3 November. “Interference with the right to freedom of peaceful assembly is inexcusable at any time, but it… Read more
