Arab Spring

Arab spring was one of the biggest strikes in the world. Many people forecast that strike will happen and that prediction became true because of technology and passage of place to place.

Many people said that the cause of Arab spring was face book and other websites that people use. People were chatting face book, twitter and Gmail in order to over throw the monarchy. When one place starts the strike than other places start as well because people notice that monarchy is the biggest problem that Arab people are facing. People communicate with internet and spread the incident all around the world. So many people predict that the strike will affect every Arab country, but it affects only five countries.

Face book and twitter were the two main causes of the Arab Spring, because so many people use it and share their opinions there. When people share ideas than other people will share the same idea. This is not the only reason, but there were many other reasons like monarchy, government corruption, absolute power and human right violation.

Government was corrupt because the power did not care the people, but what the government do care is only power and money. Technology plays significant roll spreading g the negative thing about the government. There are also positive thing about technology because technology also help the government to spread the news of the government in order to maintain stability.

Media was also another cause because people in the world read news papers and follows the media. Media plays positive way and negative because government can spread their ideas and protest also can spread their ideas.

Government, media and technology are the affects of Arab spring,

Aw Ismail

Aw Ismail is a well-known poet that everybody in the Hargiesa knows. He was born in the city of Muqdisho, Somalia. His father was also famous poet and his grandfather was poet. One of the famous poems was published around the time of Ismail’s father. After the death of Ismail’s father, Haji he faced a lot of difficulties and memories. Ismail’s mother, Fadumo died before the death of Ismail’s father.

Ismail did not have overhaul and the sympathy of his mother, but his grandmother always care his as mother. When he was sixteen he started to learn poems and how to use the official access. After trying multiple times he didn't succeeded, but the story did not finish, he continue to learn and dedicate. He went his friends and said to them would you like to learn poets. His friends did not like poet and they don’t care. When he heard that answer he went his grandmother and he told her that he like to study poets. She never said no; she likes him so much. She also motives him to learn and dedicate.

Ismail went Aden in order to learn poets, but he did have money to learn. After sating two years he decided to work and provided food himself. He cannot read and write, but the only thing that he can do was buildings. He works four years and he decided he came back to his homeland. People in Somalia were nomads and they hate white people because of colonizers. They also think they are superior to others and also they think that white people has a lot of money.

After he came back he started to say poems. His grandmother asked him do you learn anything he said no because I don’t have money to learn. Ismail became well-known poet after four years and everybody like him at that time because his first poem was why we hate our fathers. This poem motive many people to love their ancestors. However, he didn't like that poem; he hates his ancestor which was ironic, but any way he did the poem.  Ismail say many poems that talks about live, love, freedom, ancestors, and future. Ismail’s poems were lost because no one care it or memorize it.

His grandmother died when he was 62 years old and at that period he said something against the government and they put him in the prison. After he came out the prison he died. Ismail was one of the legendary poetesses that Somalia people ever heard about it. 

 Democratic country!

Somaliland is democratic country, but the question is how do we know it is democratic country and what is democracy?  The definition of democracy says that government by the people; “a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.” If that is the definition than does Somaliland follows the definition.

Somaliland tracks the definition; people elect the president and supreme exercise directly by the people. The election of Somaliland occurred as it ensues in United States and Canada. People form lines at the morning and those lines endure when the sun goes down. Some people began at four at the morning and ends at none. All those time people are patient and cheerful. Children were so eager to vote but they didn’t let them to vote; their age.  Boys were not let but girls were allowed because girls were wearing a long Dirac and hijab so they didn’t know if it is a girl or woman.

 Another concern that articulates Somaliland is democracy state is that how power share or we can say that it is decentralized. Power is not only one place, but every state has it is own power like Borama or Burco. People are not originated the city; however there were place to vote in the whole country.  At the end the commission of election went every place and collects the boxes of the vote.  

In Somaliland everybody has right to do whatever he want and how he wants. Citizens were electing the representative of every party and the government were not using any strength to vote the party. This is how USA and Canada elect their presidential.

Somaliland is free country and freedom speech accurse every place and every village, but the only difficult is they use what we call clan arrangement which is kind of ancient evolution and so many people disagree, but it bonds the government and the nomadic people. So that is the motive why they use the clan system.

Crazy internet.

       Internet censorship is something that many people don’t like it because it censored the freedom of thought and freedom of expression. I thing no one in the world likes; it ends the freedom and democracy and it brings the very begging harsh type of government that pass away many centuries which is a dictatorship. Internet censorship can kill numerous people because of the nasty article that you post.

       Many people in the world were not allowed to use the very common webs that everybody in the world used such as Facebook, Yahoo, and Gmail. I think the only reason why is forbidden is that government is hiding something or the government is corrupt. So, I believe that internet should be the only place that people can express their feelings and thoughts if other place where blocked. If countries are allowed to make laws for internet than is will be like BIG BROTHER is watching you and it is really corrupted. In opposite way people may say DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER. Therefore, I don’t think countries can manage the laws of internet well, but I do think organizations like ITU can do better.

         Thousands of people wondering why the world is immoral and evil is growing up; governments are unethical and people are afraid to die. In other case, several governments are afraid what happened to Arabian people. Many other people don’t have any idea what is internet censorship is, like farmers and house workers. Internet censorship is becoming popular and many people are recognized it because what is happing China and Ethiopia. Those countries are allowed to manage their internet and then thousands of people were executed because what they said about the government or government may accuse being a terrorist. If internet works like that then it may cause third war world because people are quite, but one day people will not be quite and they will speak against evil government and dictatorship. So, I highly recommend organizations should make the internet laws and it may convey peace and tranquility.  

Somaliland

Major issues that Somaliland faced

Somaliland faced a lot of problems and the most momentous problem is roads. Many people were killed by accident and a lot of parents loss their children and their families. A good example is one of my friends that loss his brothers and his parents. They were traveling the road that connects Borama and Hargiesa. His grandfather died two weeks ago and he came back the fame, than a car was crossing at the middle of the road than his car try to stop the cat than the cat flipped around.

 After the police take the damage and went hospital he realizes that his parents and his brothers were died. However, the story did not end there, than the police find out who make mistake, the car that is crossing that road or the car that is going that forward. After a long discussion, the problem was the road not the cars.  This Website(  http://somalilandpress.com/road-accidents-in-somaliland-causes-solutions-18464) was talk about the problem of road and effect of of traffic roads. this website says,"In Somali land, many people die in a traffic accidents on the road each year, with hundreds of people injured, vehicles damaged and properties lost in these accidents. During the last week alone, at least four accidents were reported and the local newspapers and websites covered the accidents which left behind tragedy and sorrow to many families and to us all. We are accustomed of hearing such news day after day, little actions are taken and the main issue remains unsolved". This issue is a issue that effect every person in Somliland and also neighborhood

[1]Another major problem is charcoal. Most of the people in Somaliland use charcoal to cook their food. As one of the articles says that, "It is reported that about 92% of domestic energy requirements in Somalia are dependent upon wood and charcoal fuel source. The impact of the overcutting of desired species for the production of charcoal and harvest of fuel wood has become a very serious issue". If this issue keeps going than the global warming will happen than is will be very a hard to live Somaliland. This issue is increasing very quickly and people like more and more.

Trip To Ethiopia

Trend trip

This trip was good trip and enthusiasm. We start driveling at six then we went Wajaale at eight. Wajaale was very dirty and people were very happy and smiling. After two minutes, we start lining the embassy. The line was not that bad because we were having jocks and were very joyful about the trip. We enter Ethiopian embassy and obviously, we line up, then we start the trip. The rest of the trip was fantastic.
