@HassanSMohamud
’s appointment of HE
@AHGuled

Marka lagasoo tago dhibaatada guud ee boobka doorashada laga dhaxlo, waxaa kale oo hubaal ah inta badan in nin doorasho boobay uusan ka helin xattaa dantiisa gaarka ah, imisaa soo boobay kuraas si loo doorto oo kuwii ay usoo boobeeni waydaariyeen kursiga.
Somalidu waxey ku maahmaahdaa " hal booli ah, nirig xalaalah ma dhasho". Sidaas oo kale, "doorasho boob ah, dal nabad ah ma dhasho". War nadadda aan ka shaqeeyno!
War aan cashar ka barano taariikhda 1969 iyo colaadaha ka socda Itoobiya. Doorashada beelaha ha loo daayo!!
