Editorial: The delay of rural areas development
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Somaliland rural population estimated 65% , in spite of that, the life of there is too trouble, people live with, droughts, environment problems, run out livestock due to diseases and droughts.

On the other hand, the life of rural is the mother of Africa civilization from the earlier up to now. Despite of that, for the past three decades many residential rural areas turned into cities, others were moved and became like a desert. The big question is why did rural areas became undeveloped and migration areas?


The causes of this critical condition are different from country to country, region to region, and village to village. Tremendous rural settlement had been changed into cities that brought to be disappeared to the most wealth of Africa which was livestock that the continent was familiar. Others have been seriously cut and burned great frosts. Trees have a great value for Africa rural people, but unfortunately, it was heavily burned, traded and intentionally cut by who don’t know how it is valuable to diversity living things.

Numerous rural areas in Somaliland three decades ago had been enriched uncountable livestock. For instant, one family may have over one thousand different types of livestock, the most expensive and valuable of Somali livestock are camels, people had been robbed camels from one clan to another and most clan-wars caused robbery Camels that mainly caused most of early Somali clan-wars. More over, a blunt natural fruits, vegetables, and natural water flow were finding in every where. Know every thing changed due to the influence of western lifestyle, civil wars, industrialization, global warming, lack of rural planning programmes and other factors.

Rural areas were the most important economic sources throughout of the people, this became out of target; if you go around Somaliland rural villages, you will find out empty settlements. The manpower of rural people divided into two categories. One group moved to cities and met the hardship life of the cities that was difficult them to adopt; Second group remain in villages from earl morning to the midnight eating Kat that captured their souls. Kat closed them every door to improve their family life. The tribulations of Kat are national and regional problems declined the economy and the improvement of the country.

Indeed, there is no definite and clear developmental strategy that Somaliland government set up to improve and make sustainable solution of the rural settlements. There are no self-help programmes that government making capacity building the infrastructures of rural civil services. All of these are the main cause of undeveloped of rural areas.

As to obtain sustainable solution, it should organize rural communities and give them rural orientation to develop themselves, the government should attempt to make subsidiaries of rural farmers and look for market to sell for their productions. Another important factor is to build the skills and should provide trainings relate to their own involvements. It’s also required developmental programmes throughout of mass media that enable them to learn their socio-economical problems and solutions.

News Analysis: Do the UN and International Organization Execute good Services for the country?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


The judgments of this question are divided massively into two groups. Some people may belief that UN and International organization implement the country good services, but actually did not expense enough budgets that cover the identified problems and needs. On the other hand, numerous people believe there is not at all any good service that UN and International organization done the country.

Based on these two different opinions, let us put first ideas on the table. Humanitarian activities and other services that UN and international act on the country and could not been seen directly on the development mirrors of the country, in some places incomplete activities may arise, sometimes the project officer may only prefer to implement the projects without sustainable intension, it’s very limited to continue follow up and regular assessment. One good example of this claims is, It’s been constructed a blunt of MCHs in the capital cities and even big villages, but lack of professional doctors, nurses and other administrational cost could not been in placed who will be responsible to do that. One good example, in Daami A which belongs to Ga’an libax District Hargiesa Somaliland, had constructed by UNICEF in 2007, unfortunately, it’s became a family home, although the needs of that MCH is very high according to the chairwomen of Daami A says “The health condition of this village is very critical due to improper usage of the donated MCH that do not totally work and used by its building civil and policeman family, no one couldn’t try to change this condition into useful solution.”

The second ideas is beyond the scope, those who belief that UN and international organization could not perform good services in the country based on their claims. “Most projects requested by the local UN and international organization 90 percent of the received donation will not bring in the required locations like Somaliland, it is mostly used in Europe, 10 percent of it might be transferred to the placed requested the hundred-percentage-projects needed. Other than, that 10 percent may expensed like these: 4 percent will be administration costs, 2 percent travels and transportation, the remaining six percent will be reduced some more percent by the sub-constructed agency, other more percent will be reduced by the implementation organization. And the last, less than one percent may be implemented the project that was estimated earlier 100 %. Therefore, how can we say UN and international organization execute good services in the country” Deeq Ahmed said, Sweden residence and retirement UN staff.

The minister on National Planning and Coordination of Somaliland, Mr. Ali Sanyare announced all the line ministers to be accountable with the UN and International organization, the Minister accused agencies that they could not implement effective projects in the country. There is no strong collaboration among Somaliland ministries, UN and International organization, things have not solved as being expected.

On bases these claims, Ministry of National Planning and Coordination should plan on how to be controlled these misuse and mismanagement of the social problems in the society. It should be obtained coordination framework and same vision to the entire social problems.

African Brotherhood and Sisterhood

African people settled pre-colonial era with ethnics and clans disparately that were sharing generally customs and traditional, make inter-marriage with one another and there were no more bounders. Currently African countries apply the pattern of colonialism and you may see many countries in African the result of Nationalist first obstacles faces, including nation building, political controversial, foundation of economic sources, etc.

We see what is going on South African which pointed out a good example for the developing African countries, but the praised has been destroyed today when killed over 500 Africans and displaced over 40,000 people. Where is the brotherhood and Sisterhood in African. Where is the mutual bond among African people?

Somaliland Mass Media Problems

In generally, the entire Somaliland media whether old experts ones or new ones follow same pattern by coping blueprints from one another; therefore they mostly cover political newsworthy which holds the greatest space of the paper or the programmes of the television and radio, other programmes including lifestyles and entertainments which hold also the second spaces of the media. In television and radio there are other programmes like Islamic learns, short programmes of development thought not gathering strong and sufficient information, advertisements, announcements.

There are a profusion issues that need daily coverage including: Market rate exchanges, activities of markets, poor public services, the outbreak of the corruptions, injustice in courts, nightmare robbers, increase of burglary, youth immigrant to western countries, family problems, skin bleaching, poor education and health services, evacuating from rural areas, Alcohol, Kat and drug problems and others.

Apparently, media don’t work with the community neither government media nor private media, they only serve and centerilze at their political and economical interest. Questions had been enquired by the publisher, managers and editor shown that report encouraged not waste their time other issues just only give a prior interest with political sensitive news. Managers and editors say we only respect our readers, listeners and watchers wish political news for that reason we provide that precedence.
