High level Kenyan delegation arrive in Xamar to get Khaat ban overturned
- Thread starter kickz
- Start date
Keep dreaming do you think Kenya will withdraw from Somalia because of Khat or ICJ?
The ICJ issue has been stalled by Farmajo regime and infact fired most of the competent lawyers.
As for troops in JL.They are on AMISOm mandate.
They come as apackage.There is no non AMISOM KDF in JL.
Khaat business is clearly important to them, they are currently bleeding money, so we need to keep using it to damage them until they kneel to us. Thats why you ask for the moon like withdrawing from ICJ case and better budget allocation to NFD Somalis
I think Ethiopian khaat still gets smuggled across the border in the North
Disgusting, having drugs pushed on Somalia like it's a nation of crackheads.
But Khat still gets flown in from Ethiopia. This is not a win for us as people still consume the drug. If the people became drugfree then I'd call it great progress.
Jaadh/qhaat is pretty interwoven in our culture, its gonna probably take more than a ban to get people off it.
I mean it can be purchased in market stalls and shops. Its too accessible. The government should implement strict border patrol and inflict strict punishment on smugglers/ dealers and users sent to 1 year of rehab.
Agreed, complete border control should come as the army numbers continue to grow
I despise qaad and have never taken a lick of it. It needs major reform either to be made as a watered down espresso type of drink or to be completely outlawed. Abuukar Awaale gets no credit he should really be regarded as a national hero.
Bro if AS can ban it and if the ICU can ban it there is no reason for the Somali government to be so incompetent. We give so many excuses to the most corrupt set of governments on earth its ridiculous.

I said this before and Iβll say it again. 
I'd give khat 10 years, and every year Iβd take 10% of it away, then the 10th and final year ban khat and make it completely illegal.
I will start a massive employment campaign. Give these people hope and dreams of a better future so that they donβt need to waste their time chewing Khat. Also extra-curricular activities/internships/volunteering for the young so they donβt start. Start with rehab for addicts as well and educating the youth
Khat is not something you can take away immediately, Afweyn Barre tried in the 80s and failed miserably. There are people who depend on it for work. you have to give the farmers time as well

Imagine if we had a president that had the balls to ban this filthy drug hindering our development.
Even then we should reject
Definitely, at the same time I am enjoying the government using it as a weapon against Kenya's meddling in our politics, and their shenanigans at ICJ Somali ocean case.
I worry that the next administration (if farmajo loses) would lift it all
As long as they don't take the case out of the ICJ I am not worried, no Somali can do that without a massive backlash.
The amount of delays that it has gotten is insane, something tells me farmajo is doing it on purpose...
