Sahra Halgan is more patriotic, more nationalist, true citizen and freedom fighter than any of Somali-land government officials and its own party members.
Being living over 30 years overseas, I have l come to know Sahra Halgan not more six years the role taken by those noble women in our liberating and ever since I learned her through the media, she is all time occupied collecting donation for those scarified their lives in this country. We would have not the beautiful towers built through the cities and town in Somali-land had she and the other freedom fights put their lives in danger. It is unfortunate that silanyo administration did not give the blessing to mark the SNM martyrs event. This administration is jealousy about her role for the liberation struggle which every citizen of country is well acknowledge. Sahra is an icon crystal quality of this country. She is a person that deserves respect and honor and those who stand against her to mark SNM liberation day deserve to be named not true citizen of this country. Thousands of men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice, so many live have been lost and so many changed forever by the wounds that they have suffered in their lives.The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of their country, they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life. If thousands of freedom fighters died for this country, we need to have thousands for those who died for our cause. Unfortunately, so far Sahra is the only person willing to support and remember for those who scarified their lives in this great nation. If there is a hero or Sahra heroine person living today in Somali-land, she is.
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. SNM fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their patriotism through their actions, by their choice. Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of men who follow and of the man who leads that gains the victory. A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. A hero or heroines are those who understand the responsibility that comes with his freedom. Hard times don’t create heroes. It is during the hard times when the ‘hero’ within us is revealed. Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem.
A hero or heroine is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity. A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply. The western civilization celebrates hosting the Oscars. Sahra Halagn is the Oscar winner for this nation and all of us obliged to support morally and materially for her role in remembering those who scarifies their lives and collection donation for the welfare for those live in misery after losing critical parts of their bodies, as many of them cannot able even wearing their clothes. Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first. A hero is somebody who is selfless, who is generous in spirit, who just tries to give back as much as possible and help people. A hero to me is someone who saves people and who really deeply cares. A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. Her name is self explained on her crown quality. As Sahra said one can arrest own self, but not arrest our brain. It is unfortunate to bring RRU to stand against marking and remembering Mohamed Hashi Lixle, Ibrahim Kodbuur, Abdulqadir Kosdar, Adan shine, Mohamoud Haibdeh, Mohamed Mogeh Liiban, Ahmed Dagax, Ahmed Suleman and many more Martyrs that I cannot list them their names in here.
The Martyrs day of 17th October is celebrated every year in many parts of Somaliland. The occasion is observed annually in memory of the fallen heroes and surviving veterans of the liberation struggle launched by SNM over three decades ago. As the misery for those scarified their lives televised every day, we argue, this administration to provide humanitarian as well as reintegration assistance for the veterans and victims of the liberation struggle, particularly the war-widows and the war-disabled groups. 23 years after the liberation war was finally won, thousands of SNM veterans are still awaiting rehabilitation and reintegration assistance. Today, October, 17, while Sahra Halgan prepared to speak about the historical importance of the day and the role of SNM struggle, RRU stormed the location whereby to mark the event. It appears the behaviour demonstrated by this country against Sahra Halgan is similar to that of dictatorial regime of Siyad Bare. President Silanyo and Muse Bixi praise themselves being SNM members even though their manner is against remembering martyrs. This is double standard. A double standard is the application of different sets of principles for similar situations. President Silanyo and Muse Bixi believe only them are sole members of SNM when the reality is Sahra Halgan is more heroine than of them. I argue every true citizen of this country to extend support and Sympathy with her, as she is in the hearts and thoughts of all true citizen of this country and we do not have any words to express our emotions towards Sahra. In conclusion, wherever sahra is, she is will always in our hearts and minds. Sahra Halgan is more patriotic, more nationalist, true citizen and freedom fighter than any of Somali-land government officials and its own party .
