Shalay ilaa iyo xalay warbaahinta soomaaliyeed nooc yadeeda kal duwan waxay baahinayeen warar sheegayay in qaar ka mid ah salaadiin iyo coqaal ka soo jeeda beesha Direed ay go’aan ku gaareen inay ku biiraan Maamulka Puntland.



Xaflad balaaran oo shalay ka dhacday Hoteelka Saylaan ee magaalada Galkacyo ayaa looga dhawaaqay in beesha direed ay ku biirtay Maamulka Puntland wxaayna sheegeen dadkii matalayay Beesha Direed inay kulamo looga hadlayay arimahaasi ay la sheeyeen Madaxweynaha Maamulka Goboleedka Puntland Dr Cabdiraxmaan ‘’Faroole’’.



Intii ay socotay xafladii looga dhawaaqayay ku biiritaanka Beesha Direed Ee Maamulka Puntland ayaa waxaa khudbado kala duwan ka soo jeediyay qaar ka mid ah masuuliyiintii ka soo qeybgashay xaflada, balse sheekada la yaabka leh ee laga soo wariyay xaflada ayaa ahayd in laba oday oo kaliya oo ka tirsan beesha Direed ay khudbadahoodii ku soo bandhigeen hadalo muujinayay sida ay ugu faraxsanyihiin inay kusoo biiraan Maamulka Puntland.



Labada oday ee munaasabadii ka hadashay ayaa kala ahaa Suldaan Cabdinuur Xaaji Axmed iyo Khaliif Warsame Maxamed. Waxayna labadoodaba ay ku nuux nuuxsadeen inay go’aan ku gaareen dhammaan qeybaha kala duwan ee beesha direed sida Aqoonyahanada,waxgaradka,cuqaasha,salaadiinta.isimada iyo dhalinyaradaba inay ku biiraan maamulka Puntland.



Waxyaalaha kale ee aad ii so jiitay waxay hayad in Suldaan Cabdinuur Xaaji Axmed uu shaaca ka qaaday in beel waliba ay leedahay hormuud lagala xisaabtamo beesha sidaasi la adligeedna iyaga lagala xisaabtami doono beesha direed.wuxuuna hadalkani uu noqonayaa mid sumcad daro ku rida magaca beesha Direed maxaa yeelay beesha direed waxay ka mid tahay beelaha soomaaliyeed sida weyn looga qadariyo Dalka soomaaliya .



Waxa iska cad in hadalka ka soo yeeray labadaasi oday uu yahay mid iyaga u gaar ah oo ra’yigooda ku saleysan waxaana taasi ku cadeynaya in qeybihii kale ee beesha matali lahaa inaanan waxba lala socodsiin loona soo bandhigin ra’yigan ah inay ku biiraan Maamulka Puntland.



hadaba su’aalaha isweydiinya mudan ayaa ah,Aaway waxgaradkii,cuqaashii.Aqoomyahanadii,Siyaasiintii iyo qeybihii kale ee Beesha matalayay, ma waxaa ka haray labadan oday ee iyagu ku hadaaqaya inay ku biireen Maamulka Puntland? Beesha Direedse xiligan matahay mid ku haboon inay ku biiraan Maamulka Puntland?

Font size:

Qamar was born on 19 September 1957 in a small village outside of Mogadishu, the capital city ofSomalia. She was the third of 11 children. She spent her childhood in Mogadishu, whereshe also went to school and graduated from college. Qamar subsequently moved abroad to East Germany to study political science, and later studied law in England. She eventually graduated as a lawyer and became a British citizen. In the mid-1990s, Qamar returned to her native Somalia, where she later joined the nation's Transitional Federal Government. From 2007 until her death, she served as the national Minister of Health.

WHO: Somali attack a blow to country’s health system.

Somalia’s Minister of Health, Dr. Qamar Aden Ali, was among those killed in Thursday’s terrorist attack in Mogadishu.

Dr. Qamar Aden Ali

The World Health Organization (WHO) called the attack a tragic blow to the nation’s medical fraternity. Marthe Everard, WHO’s representative for Somalia, told UN Radio that Dr. Qamar Aden Ali, a lawyer by profession, was a tireless advocate for health in Somalia: “She has focused on public health especially for Mogadishu. She was very much concerned about the situation in the Hospitals and the continuous problems they face of course as the emergency is a daily basis and people shot, people wounded so it’s all the time that she was very concerned that the supplies were there, that the doctors could do their job.” The attack occurred during a ceremony for medical students graduating from Banadir University, a teaching institution training Somalis to provide healthcare to their fellow citizens suffering from decades of humanitarian crisis. WHO, which has been supporting the training of medical students at the university, says the attack serves only to reinforce WHO’s commitment to alleviating the country’s health crisis and supporting those determined to improve health care.

A Minnesota-Somali Mentor, Mathematician And Moral Force

There is no wire connecting my mind to yours,”Abdikadir Adan Xiito informs me crisply. He’s explaining his philosophy for teaching math to children, in between sessions correcting the workbooks of two dozen young students in an afternoon homework class at the tutoring school here that bears his name, the Xiito Academy.

The young Somali boys and girls bend over their desks solving sets of addition, multiplication and fraction problems. One might expect high-energy hubbub and hijinks in a late afternoon class for kids, after they’ve spent a full day in school. But no, the room is quiet, energized but serene.

The swish of turning notebook pages is the loudest sound in the room.

Every few minutes, a child completes a set of problems, jumps up and plops down in a chair next to Teacher Xiito (pronounced HEE-toe, the word is a nickname meaning “skinny” in Somali), nervously handing over a notebook for his corrections.

Elegant and slim, decked out in a woolen scarf, Xiito exudes an air of focused intensity. In the classroom, his focus is somehow placed equally on every child in the room. He speeds through each finished problem set that is brought to him with a ballpoint pen, drawing a quick slash through the correct answers, engaging the students to correct the flubs.

A Minnesota Miracle

“Very good,” he finally pronounces before writing down a fresh set of addition problems for a seven-year-old boy, the set customized to slightly expand the child’s skill level. Looking happy, as if he’s just been hugged, the boy grabs his corrected dog-eared workbook and darts back to his seat where he immediately regroups, refocuses, and keeps working.

“To teach them you need to directly connect to their minds,” Xiito says, completing his thought to me. “I say to them sit, first. Listen, second. Watch me, third. And then ask questions. That’s the wire that I use to connect to the kids’ minds: sit, listen, watch me and ask questions. It works.”

It has worked an astonishing Minnesota miracle of sorts for Teacher Xiito, who opened his tutoring academy, the Somali Education Center, in 2001 to help keep Somali children in the state from falling behind in school.

Since then he and a team of volunteer teachers have taught math, English, biology, environmental science and U.S. citizenship skills to more than 2,000 Somali boys and girls in the state.

A Moral Authority

Hundreds of Xiito’s young charges have gone on to finish high school and attend vocational schools and college. His school’s two branches, in Minneapolis and Burnsville, also run specialeducation events such as a Girl’s Math Contest held last summer.

Such successes, and Xiito’s charismatic teaching style, have frequently been featured on Somali TV and other media, and YouTube is replete with video homages to Xiito offered by grateful students and parents.

“He’s indispensable to the Somali community in Minnesota,” said Abdi Aynte, a reporter for the Al Jazeera broadcasting company, who was tutored by Xiito in college for a time. “For many students, it would be impossible to make it through high school and college without him.”

What makes Xiito stand out, Aynte said, is the depth of his sincerity and integrity.

“He wants to help the Somali community’s most vulnerable group, the young, who are at risk for both gangs and extremists,” Aynte said. “He’s a towering moral authority in our community.”

Road to Minnesota

Minnesota’s Somali community numbers in the tens of thousands and is the world’s largest diaspora community of Somalis. The stream of refugees to the state began in 1991, at the beginning of a civil war which continues to this day, has killed a half million people, and has forced more than two million to live as refugees inside and outside the country.

Xiito’s road to Minnesota was typical of many Somali refugees who now live in the state. When the civil war started in 1991, he was a recent graduate of Lafoole University near Mogadishu, just starting as a high school math teacher. He fled to the Otango refugee camp in neighboring Kenya, where he lived for six years before arriving in Minnesota in 1996.

He arrived in this state without a penny, knowing only scraps of English. He worked for a year as a janitor in the 2550 Court International Administration Building in St. Paul, before taking a double-shift job at the Minneapolis airport, checking in-flight catered meals. “I didn’t see the sun for two years,” he remembers. By 2000 he’d saved enough money to enroll at the Metropolitan Technical and Community College in Minneapolis.

Personal Crisis

But his savings ran out. He had to leave after only a semester, and it triggered a personal crisis for Xiito.

“I had three dreams for my life in the U.S.,” he says. “The first was to make a living. The second was to go to university. My third dream was to help people on this earth. I knew I had missed my chance at university. But we should extend ourselves and lend a hand to other human beings. I realized I could still achieve my third dream, and that’s why I started the school.”

One of his first volunteer teachers was Suleiman Amin Egeh, a Somali immigrant himself who signed on after marveling at Xiito’s generosity.

“He’s not only a teacher, he’s a creator and a developer,” Suleiman said. “I was amazed by the man. He started from zero. He saw the need and he began with his own time and money, with small donations from parents. I had never seen anything like it, and I decided to volunteer.”

By 2008, Xiito and his volunteers were tutoring more than 200 students a year, and Xiito was famous for his math teaching in particular.

The Quizmaster

YouTube’s Teacher Xiito section features videos in which students as young as six years old stand next to Xiito as he fires quiz questions at them: “Five times six? Eight times four? Three times nine? Square root of 36? Square root of 144? Twelve times ten? Eighteen times eighteen?”

Enjoying the game immensely, the little prodigies shout back answers in a flash, their faces beaming with pride: “30! 32! 27! 6! 12! 120! 324!”

Fadumo Husein, who began sending her fourth grade son to see Xiito in December for math tutoring, says these dramatic videos are no marketing concoction, but rather reflect a common transformation among Xiito’s kids.

“My son couldn’t add two and seven before,” she says. “I was worried about him. Now, within three months, he’s good at math. He was scared at public school but now he has confidence, he believes in himself.”

Xiito teaches their children a lot more than math, parents say.

“He teaches how to focus and get serious,” said Farhio Kalif, a Somali TV show host, whose son is tutored at the Xiito Academy. “Those are important skills. When I took my son in, I was amazed to see that within minutes he wasn’t looking at me, he was just looking in his workbook.”

The Question

“It’s also good to have someplace to take the kids for two or three hours, where you know they are safe and learning useful things,” Kalif adds. “Xiito is good for the health of the parents, as well as their children.”

To keep the school going has required resilience at every step.

Along with many other Minnesota non-profits, the school lost much of its funding in 2009, a huge blow.

Some classes were dropped. But with added support from volunteer staffing and parent donations, the school, rechristened the Xiito Academy, has kept running seven days a week.

“We lost our funding, but I didn’t want to lose my dream,” Xiito said.

“I have only one passion and it’s education,” he says. “It’s a way of life. It’s the future of both the individual and the state. So

Profiles of Somalia's top presidential candidates - Winner Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud

Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud (Somali: Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud, Arabic: الشيخ حسن محمود‎) is a Somali politician and social activist. He is the President of Somalia.

Personal life Mohamoud obtained a diploma from Mogadishu's Somali National University in 1981. He later moved to India and attended Bhopal University, where he earned a Master's Degree in 1988.[1]




Mohamoud is bilingual, speaking Somali and English.[1]

Career

In a professional capacity, Mohamoud initially worked as an education officer for UNICEF in the central and southern parts of the country from 1993 to 1995. In 1999, he co-established the Somali Institute of Management and Administration (SIMAD) in the capital. The institution subsequently grew into the Simad University, with Mohamoud acting as Dean until 2010.[1]




Mohamoud entered Somali politics the following year, when he established the independent Peace and Development Party (PDP).[1] PDP members unanimously elected him as the party's chairman in April 2011, with a mandate to serve as leader for the next three years.[2]

Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed is the current president of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) whose term ends on August 20th.



Ahmed was born in 1964 near the city of Jowhar, where he attended primary education. He later moved to Mogadishu and completed secondary education at Sheikh Sufi Secondary School.



In 1992, Ahmed enrolled at the University of Kordofan in Sudan and transferred two years later to Open University in Libya, graduating in 1998 from the College of Sharia and Law. He taught Geography, Arabic and Religious Studies at Juba Secondary School until 2004, when he was nominated to lead the Islamic Courts Union (ICU).



The ICU was an alliance comprising regional Sharia courts that controlled most of southern Somalia.



In 2007, Ahmed left the ICU and with other former members founded an opposition group called the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia. He later entered into UN sponsored negotiations with the transitional government under the late President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, and joined Somalia's transitional parliament.



Ahmed was elected to succeed Yusuf after the latter resigned in December 2008. Ahmed took office January 31, 2009.



President Ahmed speaks Somali and Arabic.



Abdiweli Mohamed Ali

Abdiweli Mohamed Ali was born in the late 1950s. After completing his secondary school education, he attended the Somali National University and obtained a bachelor's degree in economics in 1984.



He was the director of the tax department at the Ministry of Finance and Revenue from the mid-to-late 1980s. From 1988 to 1991, he was an assistant director at the Research and Statistics department at the Ministry of Finance and Revenue.



After that, he immigrated to the United States to continue his higher education.



He received his master's degree from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee in 1988 and then obtained another master's degree in public administration from Harvard University in 1999.



He received his Ph.D. in economics from George Mason University in Virginia in 2000.



In 2003, Ali taught economics at Niagara University in New York until he joined Somalia's transitional government as deputy prime minister and minister of planning and international cooperation.



He was appointed as prime minister in June 2011 after Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo resigned.



Ali is highly experienced in academia and academic research, development and economic politics as well as financial and public administration. He worked for several international agencies including The World Bank and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).



Before returning to Somalia in 2010, Ali was a member of the American Economic Association and Atlantic Economic Society.



Ali speaks Somali, English and Italian and holds dual Somali and US citizenship.



Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aadan

Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aadan was born in 1946 in Bardaale to a family originally from the Bay and Bakool regions.



Aadan entered politics in 2004 when he was elected speaker of the parliament in Somalia's transitional government. He held that position until 2007 when he was ousted for holding unauthorized talks with members of the Islamic Courts Union.



Aadan was appointed deputy prime minister and minister of finance when President Ahmed took office in 2009, and became one of the most prominent figures in the cabinet of former Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke.



In May 2010, the Somali parliament re-elected Aadan as its speaker.



Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo was born in 1962 in Mogadishu to a family originally from Gedo in south-western Somalia.



In 1985, he was appointed as first secretary at the Somali embassy in Washington DC.



In 1989, he left to earn his bachelor's degree in history from the University of Buffalo in New York. During this time, Farmajo applied for political asylum in the United States after the government collapsed in 1991.
