Waxaa aad halkani ka arki doontaa barnaamijka shirkan lagu qabtay magaalada Nairobi sida siyaasadii arrimaha Dibedda ee Qaranka Somaliland, kana turjumaysay masiirka ummada iyo dawladnimada Somaliland loo afduubay . Waxaad arkaysaa in qadiyadii shacabka reer Somaliland muddada 22ka sannadood ah soo difaacayeen ee u soo dhabar adaygayeen ee todobaadkii ina dhaafay uun ay sida wayn ugu dabaal-degeen meelkasta guddo iyo dibedba in aayar meel lagu tiiray.
Akhriste waxaad marag ka tahay in shacabka reer Somaliland yar iyo waynba aad uga xumaadeen hadaladii aan munaasibka ahayn ee Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya ku tiraabay maalintii shacab waynaha Somaliland u damaashaadayeen 22 guuradii ka soo wareegtay markii Somaliland dib uga baxday midowgii dhexmaray Somaliland iyo Soomaaliya 1960kii.
Waxaad marag ka tahay in rag badan oo magac iyo maamuusba ku leh ummada reer Somaliland oo isugu jiray siyaasiyiin, madax-dhaqameed iyo waxgarad kaleba ay hadalo iyo fariimo adag hawada u mariyeen Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya iyaga oo dareenkooda cabiraya iyo sida ay uga xumaadeen hadaladaasi uu kula dul kufay shacabka reer Somaliland.
Miyaanay dhabar jab ku ahayn shacabkaasi iyo ummada reer Somaliland in dhawr casho ka dib Wasiirkeenii Arrimaha Dibedu ka qayb-galo shir Soomaaliya ku suntan oo ay hormood ka yihiin. Iswaydii bal maxaa looga joogay shirkii London ee kontomeeyada wufuud dawlado iyo Haayado caalami ahi isugu jireen ka soo qayb-galeen si qaadhaan loogu ururiyo dalka Somaliland haddii laga raali noqonayo in shirarkan oo kale laga qayb-galo. Miyaanay is-burin iyo qiimo dhac ahayn. Miyaanu meel kaga dhicin oo dhabarka ka jebin dadkii isu taagay inay Somaliland ka difaacaan hadaladii aan munaasibka ahayn ee Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ku tiraabay.
Akhriste bal si fiican u dhugo barnaamijkan iyo wuxuu daaran yahay waxaa kuu muuqan doonta in si bilaa xishood ah loogu ciyaaray masiirkii ummada Somaliland. Waxaa si bilaa xishood ah loo caayayaa caqliga iyo garaadka suuban ee shacabka reer Somaliland. Shakhsiyaad kooban oo dano gaar ah leh ayaa burburinaya qadiyadii maal iyo moodba loo huray. Muwaadin dhakhso uga dhiidhi, kana kac oo hadda talaabo ka qaado waxan foosha xun ee socda ee xukuumada Siilaanyo hormoodka ka tahay.

About the Conference and Exhibition »
As Somalia and Somaliland looks to build a secure and prosperous future, the first Somali Reconstruction and Investment Conference and Exhibition (SORIC), will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 28-29 May 2013 at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre.
This ground breaking event will be the first of its kind to bring together key policy makers from the Government of Somalia and Somaliland, top decision makers from international and regional development organizations, and participants from the public and private sector. It is the only event of its kind fully endorsed by the Federal Government of Somalia and supported by the Ministry of Trade, the Somali Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce.
A new era has dawned on Somalia and Somaliland and the country is embarking on a dynamic path of political and economic renewal after long-running civil strife and political turmoil. After 22 years of civil war that ravaged the country, peace is finally returning.
There are encouraging signs of progress and hope. The Somali government has been recognised by the United States of America, Great Britain, the European Union, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the African Union, World Bank and IMF. The diaspora is returning home. The federal government and government of Somaliland are cooperating and engaging each other, registration of political parties has started in puntland, and normalcy is finally returning.
This change in fortunes calls for a paradigm shift in how investors and the international community approach Somalia and Somaliland. Almost all sectors and industries need rebuilding from scratch, presenting limitless opportunities for genuine and meaningful investment that benefits the Somali people.
Somalia PortThis is the first private sector led Somali Reconstruction and Investment Conference and Exhibition. As the first of its kind, the conference will provide all participants with unique opportunities- from interactions and networking, to open and frank discussions on engagements, business opportunities and future agreements. The conference will be a complimentary to all efforts aimed at stimulating reconstruction and investment efforts in the country. The thematic content of this summit will include a detailed and carefully designed agenda that will aim at achieving the expectation of the participants in both short and long term goals.
Combined with the already modest peace and stability in Somaliland and Puntland, unique opportunities for investments in energy, banking, health, water, food security have opened up as so much of such investments are indeed basic necessities that are urgently needed. For example, Mogadishu city is likely to be populated by 2 million (if not more) civilians by the second quarter of 2013 and yet there is no reliable electricity or clean water.
The Objectives of this conference and Exhibition will be:
- To create an opportunity for increased reconstruction and investment in Somalia and Somaliland,
- To increase trade and investment flows to the country and various sectors such as agri-business, Social services, logistics, trade, financial services, and tourism
- To show case reconstruction productions and business in the exhibition.

- To market investment projects and opportunities in Somalia and Somaliland.
- To present success stories to support a positive perception of Somalia and Somaliland as investment destinations of choice.
- To present the new and unique modalities in promoting and undertaking reconstruction and investment in Somalia and Somaliland.
- To shed light on the major positive changes which have taken in the country with regards to the prospects a renewed hope and in terms of business and investment climate and the reforms which have made them possible.
- To create a better understanding of the appropriate frameworks that can lead to mutually beneficial and fruitful business relations with the Somalia and Somaliland and economic growth
- To open dialogue between and create a platform of interaction for international, regional and Somali private sector, businessmen and government officials from various countries, regions and international organizations.
