We need a national library too for all our university students and teachers to use. I am willing to contribute some academic literature if it is established and i can find people to take them to Somaliland.
I hope that this is not just another job creation for some of Riyaale's inner circle.
Our historic archives were destroyed by the Faqash Army because they were planning to erase our existence but copies of a historical importance could still be found in the UK and the USA for the archives.
A national agency/ministry for citizenship and immigration will be useful too. A national picture ID, in any form, will deter any future political strategies for "Yuu KU SHUBANE, KA SHUBO !!"
We need so many thanks, but since we don't billions and this agency will be supported by international donors, one thing at a time eh!..We need to repair so many things, the national theater, a national library, a national sports centre/stadium, if only we had Bill Gates billions, think of the things we can do. But, the cup is always have full, if you remember the wasted 30 years with Somalia, and the destruction between 1988-1991, Alxamdu Lilaah.
A seprate section of this National Archieving must solely be created for the records that we have about the Genocide that took place in Somaliland.
This is important.
Its important institution and we really needed one, I hope it keeps records of the nomads so we can look back 200 years from now and see where each citizen really came from (nomadic society) by 2200 I reckon Somaliland will be well into the high technology urban society.
Nomadism is our strongest identity.
Positive development!
