The minister of Presidency Hersi Ali Haji Hassan addressed the community with mature and very logical speech that target or offend nobody or no group in Somaliland society whether,

Some Somaliland Websites accustomed to edit very sensitive and fabricated stigma against quite hardworking and decent ministers like Hersi Hassan, these allegations towards the ministers based on only political difference in Somaliland. However, the recent address of the minister Hersi that took place in Liverpool City in UK, when the president of Somaliland H.E Ahmed Siilaanyo met the Somaliland Community in Liverpool early february 2014 and briefed the society for govrenmental huge achievements and what is going on back Somaliland.

That was fantastic ceremony, in which commenced with very united mood and ended quited cheered situation, the community of Somaliland congregated from different cities of UK received and welcomed the president and his delegation with very positive and high standard of nationalism without little atom of variations at all.

The minister of Presidency Hersi Ali Haji Hassan addressed the community with mature and very logical speech that target or offend nobody or no group in Somaliland society whether, it is Political Parties, leaders of the different governmental institutions or the women of Somaliland, as some irresponsible individuals and websites derived that address unexisted dodgy and unclear interpretations, which the minister did not mean or mention there at all.

The minister Hersi has quoted very well known and common Somali comedy that happened a man and his wives a long time ago, the minister was not supposed to offend or transgress the fundamental rights and respect of Somali women, who are the most part of the society often protected enormously traditionally, and none ever directed clearly abuse or condemnations in the history. Nevertheless, the wrestling is irreligious between male and female unless married to each other, no physical contact allowed, if the two are unmarried, so the minister did not imply or mention anywhere that the man wrestled the women. But, talking about in that specific occasion, a man and his wives and also historical Somali joking indeed.

The people misunderstand that context, were miles behind the normal common sense to read the lips of the human beings, when talking and also reading between the lines. That accusation was absolutely exaggeration and wrong incitement of the Somaliland society with lies and propaganda against one of your important ministers, who implemented very outstanding and extreme work, since he has been in the office. Of course, when you participate politics, both enemies and die hard supporters exist in this field of competitive and contested occosions more often to defeat and win from your political rivals.

It is illicit and illogical to launch your political campaign with very inferior way and excessively cross the red line straight away, without knowing the damage and risk your inaccurancy causes for the society. Severe punishment of compensations and blood money are in place for the offensive and unwanted mistakes against our beloved and respectful somali women, they also have in the society a role of reliable defence and protection against any insult or crimes against our women, as the most of the world communities regard and respect women and children in all times.

The article tarnishing the dignity and the proper political participation of the minister wrongly qouted some problems Somaliland women face, by sending message to the western, that Somali women encounter rape and pharonic circumcision of genital mutilation that women suffer frequently for that specific terrible cultural exrecise, Somali people share so many other islamic countries in the universal for this inhumane treatment indeed. But, I personally acknowledge that was very extreme and serious problem, that our women suffered quite long time, when totally avoiding the matter to use as golden mine of applying projects from the world, but knidly addressing and making appropriate awareness to desist that culture of wrong practice.

We know pharonic circumcision deprive the women their rights,and also inflict problems never disappear in their future life of heart problems, kidney aches, menstruation problems, decircumcising and recircumcising in the birth time, that is unacceptable to suffer indeed. To come back to the point, the minister has done nothing wrong against women indeed for his speech in Liverpool City UK. Hwoever, we should restrain from using any thing said, for political weapons wrongly and also putting wrong translation that could put risk the lives of the people. Unless, there is concrete facts to emphasize your denouncement or have a proof, it is very unforgivable criminal act to damage one’s reputation and personality with unnecessary tragic plans of political motivated issues only.

The minister of presidency is completely clear and free from all the baseless and political character assassination and blind criticism of political nature, in which has been accused for the minister, some people behind to destroy the one of the most energitec and competent minister of Somaliland and leading the concert behind the curtains indeed. Show something to the society to be nominated as a minister, or given you confidence and support to lead the nation, without playing such dangerous and very riskful games, As matter of fact, constructive opposition can only be the success of this nation, the Article has been written or came from the Somaliland community in Sheffield UK. However, it is being invistigated to find out, who is behind the filthy game of political desperation.
