Garowe, September 4, 2019

Yes, GAROWE Mayor could have done a much better job, if only there were not some influencial residents in his way, and these are not the owners of herds of annoying and wandering City goats and collectors of loose cats in town, but politicians, merchants, security forces and influence peddling folks in Garowe. They are putting road-blocks on the mayor’s way to badly needed reforms in the City against the backdrop of clannish mentality on jobs, land/property and culture.

Until those socio-economic impediments are removed, there is little any Garowe Mayor could do before his term in office is up again to go through the traditional two-sided sub-clan rotation with no consideration for the civic rights of other residents in town, a capital city modeling after Mogadishu.

Puntland students now begin to understand that it wasn’t Godax Barre alone denying them of deserved and rightful scholarships, but the entire N&N regime led by Farmaajo and Khayre, resolving to isolate Puntland students.

While doing this, Farmaajo wants your vote in 2020 ill-planned General Election. Wise up!

#Puntland #youth and #students are speaking up to fight for their rights and equal share in opportunities and national #scholarships from the abuses, denial and betrayals by the NN Regime in Mogadishu.

Postscript:

A few of young folks are commenting this article while they are totally misinformed about the issue. There were not centralized national exams in entire South-central Somalia before. They tried this year to organize one amid leaks, outright sale of exams to the highest bidder in the marketplace, on the top of theft.

Puntland have been conducting common exams for many years. Now N&N Regime want Puntland students to take part in these sham exams, and punish them for not participating in this public disgrace, thus denying them of their rightful share of national scholarships. Get the facts straight first before you comment on this particular issue.

This is also a reminder that, under the Federal Constitution, social services delivery like Education Sector, comes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Member States. The FGS has no business to interfere, but to help the FMS in this regard.

WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS?
