Election victor takes power in Somaliland By William Wallis in London Published: July 27 2010 16:40 | Last updated: July 27 2010 16:40 Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo, the victor of recent elections in the breakaway republic of Somaliland, was sworn in as president on Tuesday, achieving a transfer of power between political rivals that is rare in Africa. Only three states on the African mainland – Benin, Senegal and Zambia – have seen incumbent presidents stand down after being defeated in elections. Unrecognised internationally as a separate state, Somaliland has developed its own democratic traditions without outside pressure. The circumstances of the handover, which saw Dahir Rayale Kahin bow out as president after being defeated in elections deemed by international observers to have been largely free and fair, are all the more remarkable for their contrast with neighbouring Somalia. African Union leaders meeting at a summit in Uganda agreed on Monday to boost a small peacekeeping force propping up the nearly powerless Somali transitional government in the face of an al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamist insurgency. They approved a request to send 2,000 more troops to the capital, Mogadishu, and strengthened the rules of engagement to allow the force to fire first if they are facing attack. But they stopped short of ordering the AU peacekeepers to go on the offensive, something that Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan president, had hoped for after 73 people were killed in terrorist attacks in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. The bomb blasts have been linked to Somali Islamists. By contrast, on Tuesday the people of Somaliland were celebrating a democratic transition that they hope will boost their long struggle for international recognition as a separate state. “I am handing over the presidency with good spirit and welcome President Silanyo who won the election,” said Mr Kahin, the outgoing leader at the ceremony. “I tell my supporters that the campaign and election are over and that the people of Somaliland are expected to unite and work for the future of Somaliland and recognition.” Somaliland gained independence from Britain in 1960, and then united with the former Italian colony to its south to become Somalia. Drawn into the civil war that followed the overthrow in 1991 of Siad Barre, Somaliland was able to extricate itself, and through inter-clan dialogue create a viable governing system. As warlords carved up the south of the country into rival spheres of influence, and the state collapsed, Somaliland gradually began recovering. It held regular elections and benefited from increased trade through its seaport of Berbera from neighbouring Ethiopia. But so far its efforts to win recognised independence as a separate state have met little success. FT.com

So there is a meeting coming up?

Scenes fit for the theatre played out when the Presidential Guard Brigade, PGB (Uganda) tussled it out with Libyan president Col. Muammar Gadaffi's security detail before the opening ceremony. The PGB was strictly enforcing the rule that only Presidents and their aides and the heads of protocol are allowed to proceed to the presidential entrance. But this did not go down well with Gaddafi's security who were determined to flex their muscles over this rule.

^Not a big game player. Wastes too much energy trying to play intricate stuff in small spaces away from goal. Doesn't have an eye for a killer pass.

Tom Fordyce plots Mo Farah's rocky rise from refugee to European champion Farah, arriving in Britain in 1993 from Mogadishu as a nine-year-old refugee, was almost immediately in trouble. Among the very few English phrases his father had taught him were 'where is the toilet?' and 'come on then'. Unfortunately, on his first day at school, he made the mistake of saying the latter to the local hard-nut and, in his own words, got 'twatted' Even then he was nearly led down the wrong path. Farah likes to have fun. Even in Tuesday's final he was grinning at his opponents, wagging his finger at others and looking behind him to wave Thompson closer. In his early 20s, it was more about the partying; he once stripped naked and jumped from Kingston Bridge into the River Thames. Read more
