Friends and foes, Indeed, Puntlanders, the true carriers of Somali unity torch are always the winners. The new PM knows that he can go nowhere unless he glues himself with the federal constitution of Somalia (FCS).; and that is exactly what he did in his acceptance speech. The FCS undoubtedly states that Somalia is composed of the 18 regions that existed before the civil war; and that the prerequisite for them to become a state like Puntland is to have two or more of them agree to unite their areas. I know that is a dagger in hearts of Somalidiids:D:D,,,, Why are they ululating in Duke’s thread? PM Saacid or PM Gaas should be same to them…. ;)

I have neither sources nor connections but from analysis of events Abdiwali is more likely than any one else....

++++++++plus My bet on Dr. Abdiwali to be reassigned for the prime ministeship is highly enhanced by this news. Quraanjow ku quuso…..

Yes!! Where else can he go for his first trip? Puntland is the founding state of Somali Federalism as per the constitution/// Excellent kick off...

^^^^^^Are you making fun of Somali nicknames??

The SNM gang was unable to collect the corpse of one of their fighters. Any objective person musst believe the Boocame online version. Why? The meeting that was supposed to be guarded by military force was cancelled. The attendees and the so-called army are out of the area. Buuhoodle youth celebrating……and warning the turncoats

3. Army and police recruitment should not be clan-based, but geography-based The recruits for the national army and police force must be drawn from every region, with the districts putting forward their own candidates. There should be a representative national commission to assure a fair distribution of posts. Until 1991 the majority of the Somali army and police were uneducated recruits from the rural areas. However, now there is a huge army of unemployed graduates and secondary school leavers in every town. They should be recruited and trained to be officers and soldiers, which would create employment opportunities. In time they can effectively replace the foreign troops. Regarding the employment of former officers, all previous ranks should be annulled, because during the last days of Siad Barre’s regime, promotion and recruitment was biased in favour of certain clans. Those former officers who are qualified to train may be employed as trainers. 4. Somali diaspora as ‘Peace Corps’/‘Overseas Volunteers’ Now that the IC is guiding the parliament and the future government, the hope of the Somalis is very great. As the great powers came through civil and international wars, so Somalia is emerging from its wars, and the huge diaspora, which gained experience and education in the advanced world, is now teaching the masses. In the 1960s when most African countries got their independence, the British and Americans used to send students to Africa to go to the towns and villages as overseas volunteers. The same should be done with the Europeans and North Americans of Somali origin who can be enabled to go to Somalia for 2-3 years to teach the Somalis what they have learnt. There is great hope that the real revival of Somalia is beginning!

After his current visit to Hargeisa, the seat of Silaanyo’s mafia, Cismaan Kalluun is more ever determined to never exchange his heroic jacket of unity and Soomaalinimo for the dud and non-starter projects of solitude (secession in dreams).… The only thing he has to revisit is his analysis of his stand on the inappropriateness of federalism for Somalis at this time. Yes, Somalia has the natural hardware structures to prosper in unitary government administration but the software grease that is supposed to lubricate them for smooth and unison running of the affairs of the nation is hardened and infected by tribalistic mentality of Somalis (a bedouin mentality that has been developing bigger earlobes and horns since 1990). May I remind Mr. Cismaan Kaluun the social catch phrase among goatee (gadhyare waqooyi) circles was ‘federation” back in 1960s. Many opinion leaders in Hargeisa and Buroa believed that Waqooyi Galbeed was better off in a federated system of governance in Somalia. In restaurants there was a popular lunch plate called “Federation” (a mixture of pasta and rice). In Bay people felt the need to govern themselves without the interference of faradheers. Here is his trip memoir: My Visit to Mogadishu and Somali communities in the Gulf and East Africa 30 June - 19 August 2012 Report and policy recommendations by Osman Jama Ali (Kalluun) Monday, September 03, 2012 I visited Qatar, Dubai, Nairobi, Mogadishu, Berbera (port in North-West Somalia) during the first three weeks of July before returning to London via Dubai. My mission was to encourage dialogue and reconciliation, the philosophy that with IofC we have to carry out in order to revive the Somali state. I met businessmen, intellectuals, staff of international NGOs, former and present politicians, and people who are trying to be members of the coming government. My message to them was the message of Initiatives of Change, of reconciliation, accepting each other, a non-clan-based approach, encouraging peace, security and dialogue. Change of mentality A complete change has taken place in the mentality of Somalis in Somalia and in the diaspora. Before, everyone was trying to be clannish, and see other clans as not to be trusted. Now, after more than 20 years of civil war and hatred, people have suddenly put away their weapons and are accepting each other as Somalis, one nation. The Capital It is the first time since 1991 that the capital Mogadishu has had one authority. Before, Mogadishu used to have more than 20 warlords; every district was controlled by a warlord with a militia composed of his clansmen. When I was Deputy Prime Minister 2000-3, we could not visit any district of the city without taking armed guards. But now with only a driver, I visited every district of Mogadishu, by day or by night. It was safe! Before, only certain clans inhabited Mogadishu, but now there people of all clans and regions accepting to share the capital. People from the diaspora are pouring into Mogadishu to participate in the reconstruction and revival of the capital. There are possibly 10,000 from the diaspora, from every country, who went back just to see. Hotels are full, there are so many cars on the roads. Revival is obvious when you go there. I was amazed how things have changed in a short time. The Shabab (terrorist organisation) have left the city and the surrounding areas because they have seen that the public are against them and not ready for more wars. Somalis are sharing Mogadishu. There are so many people from all regions now in Mogadishu. When I used to go to ‘Somaliland’ and talk about unity, they used to say that if Somalia became peaceful, people would go there. It is the African way to only concentrate on the capital. This is weakening the secessionists and strengthening the unionists. The Somalis are accepting each other as one nation. Effect of the International Community We have to be grateful to the International Community (IC), which is giving real attention and facilitated the Somalis to create their own parliament. Previous parliaments were created outside Somalia – this is the first time that Somalis are selecting their MPs and government members. Now Somalis accept to sit together in their capital to put their own house in order. It is important that Somalis work together now to consolidate. The IC is now united to help Somalis get rid of terrorist organisations, and piracy. The Somalis are getting a lot of attention because of that. The London conference The intergovernmental conference in London in February generated widespread international attention on Somalia. The fact that the UK, which is a member of the UN Security Council, and the country which accepted the biggest number of Somali refugees, focussed its attention on Somalia gave great hope to Somalis. And the UK has a long experience with Africa. We felt this was the beginning of the revival of the Somali state. Because of the attention given by UK to Somalia, even the Gulf States and other Arab countries are giving more attention. Before, they were not trying to fight piracy or terrorism, but they are now fully on board. Importance of the UK Somali diaspora Somali citizens of other European countries come here because of the language. So the Somali community in Britain are the biggest and most active diaspora in Somalia. The UK Somali diaspora sends back more money to Somalia than any other diaspora. The diaspora in Europe, North America and Australia have learned a lot from the people they lived among. These people have a great influence on Somalis inside Somalia and are now teaching them about the philosophy of democracy. Dreams of revival Everyone says, ‘We will soon be one of the most developed countries in Africa. ‘First suffered, first recovered.’ We are in a strategic position, with the longest coast-line in Africa, with petrol, gas, mineral, marine resources, life-stock, agriculture and only 10 million people. Many companies are now contacting them to exploit the resources, because of the attention given by Britain, Turkey and the IC. It gives great hope. Corruption The corruption and nepotism of the previous governments have been exposed by the Report of the Monitoring Group on Somalia and Eritrea to the Chairman of the Security Council Committee concerning Somalia and Eritrea. Now the IC will not agree to give money without the proper controls. Bribery for political gain is being revealed and our hope is that the corruption will be controlled. Clannish and corrupt people will be the focus of attention which was not the case before. Now the expenditure of the Somali government will be monitored by the IC, and gradually corrupt and clannish people will be excluded, particularly because the diaspora will not tolerate it. Ordinary people are talking about the corruption. Piracy Piracy is reducing because of the intervention and activity of the IC. In the last 6 months piracy has diminished by 80% and it will end soon, because of the hope that came, and because people have courage to denounce the pirates. Many Somalis are sending goods from the Gulf, and when the pirates started attacking Somali dhows, people turned against them. Policy recommendations 1. Need for international support to continue We need the guidance of the IC until we have real stability and security. There is some security due to people being tired of conflict, but this has to be encouraged. The government and MPs won’t have the resources to do everything they want to do, so the guidance of the IC is very necessary. The priorities are the monitoring of finances and expenditure, the creation of political parties rather than clan-based parties, decentralisation – giving the people their voice, and fighting clannism, nepotism and corruption. Because the Somali institutions are weak, the IC must guide. 2. Why federalism is not appropriate for Somalia Federalism, with its ‘presidents’ in each regional capital, will not help the unity of the Somali people. The idea of a Somali federal state came from Ethiopia. However, in Ethiopia, federalism is based on ethnicity. It is not appropriate for Somalia which is the most homogeneous state in the whole of Africa (one ethnicity, one language, one religion, one sect). More importantly, most Somalis believe that Ethiopia is proposing federalism for Somalia as a way of dismembering Somalia into five weak clan-based states (Somaliland, Puntland, Benadirland, Bayland and Jubbaland). Somalia needs democratic, decentralised administrative regions coordinated by a unified national authority. The IC needs to encourage a bottom-up, geography-based approach, rather than the clan-based approach. Local administrations at village, district and regional level must be created and encouraged. District commissioners and regional governors have to be elected by the people – not appointed by government - to democratize the society.

^^^^^Sir, you are making Soomaalidiids poorer in health and wealth. These pictures are powerful enough to cause them lose sleep and consume more of the green leaves.....Dr. Abdiwali has genuine prime ministral character and looks. I would bet my bottom dollars that is the awaited one. Wait until he goes back to Xamar.

We are talking about the character of the future head of state of Somalia, Somalia that has been down for more than two decades.

I am not even talking about the rumours in Mogadishu that he has opened his wallet to the lawmakers and to his partner Shariif Sakin. But……. Where on earth did this guy get the money he is spending on his re-election efforts? Watch what is right now happening on UTV. Organizing so many members of his supporters and renting TV spots cost a large amount of money. Can you imagine how many infants are right now dying of lack of basic food at his doorsteps as internal displaced persons? How much does he get from the meagre resources of the state as salary? The international community accuses him of stealing 7 out of 10 dollars denoted to Somalia during his rule.Couple of hours ago the United Nations, the main sponsor of the RoadMap, in a letter released to the press and reported by CNN, is asking the Somali parliament to elect a credible leader. Is he credible? CNN) - Somali lawmakers are scheduled to choose the next president Monday, moving the nation a step closer to its first stable central government since the 1991 ouster of a dictator. The new parliament, which was selected last month, will hold a ballot to choose the president from about two dozen candidates. In a letter to lawmakers, the United Nations called for a credible leader who can propel the African nation toward peace."After two decades of civil war, a collapsed state and innumerable indignities to the proud Somali people, we are hours away from the election of a new president," said Augustine P. Mahiga, the U.N. envoy to the nation. "The event that will completely end the transitional period and move us toward a phase of political and socio-economic transformation." The scheduled vote is the latest in a series of political transitions in the nation. In recent weeks, it has adopted a provisional constitution, held an inaugural meeting of its new parliament and appointed that body's speaker. "It has not been easy getting us to this point," Mahiga said. "There have been moments when all seemed lost and we have sometimes been on the brink of despair." Candidates include incumbent President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who has been in power since 2009, and his prime minister, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali. Dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown 21 years ago, sparking years of warring militias and a transitional government that has remained shaky at best. Over the years, lawmakers have met in neighboring Kenya and Djibouti because of lack of security in Somalia. African Union and Somali troops are battling Al-Shabaab militants, an al Qaeda-linked group that controls part of the nation's south. In recent months, the troops have driven the militants out of Mogadishu, and the capital is slowly trickling back to normalcy. Coalition forces are exerting control in more areas, but it is not secure enough to hold a nationwide vote. The militant Islamist group has waged an insurgency against the weak transitional government since 2007. • Copyright 2012 by CNN NewSource. All rights reserved.

Hero if he swallows his pride and forces himself to drop out the race. Somalia nees a crafsman who can deal the IC on person to person level.

Will Israel pursue same policy in Syria as Ethiopia’s in Somalia? Syria is getting out of control. With the Bashar al-Assad regime collapsing, it is dragging the entire region into this collapse. Bombs rocked Turkey; there is growing violence in Lebanon… If the current situation goes on like this much longer, Syria will most likely turn into a second Somalia in the heart of the Middle East. The Somalization of Syria would serve the interests of two countries in the region: Israel and Iran. Both are aware that a democratic and stable Syria would not serve their interests. Iran may try everything to destabilize Syria in an attempt to ensure that stability and democracy in this country do not benefit other countries. However, all eyes should be turned to Israel on the Syrian issue. We can see how uncomfortable Israel is with newly elected President Mohammed Morsi, who is taking control in Egypt. The Israeli media continually publishes reports referring to this state of unease and dissatisfaction. What policy will Israel pursue from now on? We could offer an answer to this question by taking a look at Ethiopia’s longstanding policy vis-à-vis Somalia. Ethiopia, which holds control over parts of Somali territory, interfered with the domestic affairs of the country after the collapse of the Said Barre administration in 1991. Evidence shows that Ethiopia was responsible for the inter-communal conflicts in Somalia in which thousands of people were murdered. Ethiopia made sure that no single tribe maintained control in Somalia so that the civil war could not end. The most typical example of this pattern and policy was observed in the early 2000s, when the Islamic Union of Courts seized control of the country. Shortly after the group took control of most parts of the country, including the capital Mogadishu, Ethiopia, backed by the US, conducted an operation in Somalia, causing the collapse of this administration, which Ethiopia accused of having ties with al-Shabab, an al-Qaeda cell. Now that Somalia has taken some major steps towards stability; Ethiopia’s actions and responses to these steps are to be expected. As for Syria, if opposition groups in this country fail to reach an agreement, Israel may take control. And in this case, clashes may be provoked between tribes, groups and members of different religions and sects. Israel benefits from the disagreements between Palestinian groups. Israeli authorities have disseminated strong propaganda to the world following Hamas’s firing of missiles into Israel from Gaza after a break of many months. Tel Aviv is able to pursue the same policy in Syria. An unstable Syria would have a lot to offer Israel. First, as Syria remains in turmoil, regional powers, including Turkey, will focus on the developments in this country; and they will not consider Israel’s actions. The world will not be interested in the Palestinian issue. Second, an unstable Syria would mean that Israel could continue to maintain control of the Golan Heights, internationally recognized as Syrian territory. The Tel Aviv administration is well aware that a strong central government in Damascus would be more decisive than the Assad regime in taking the Golan Heights back from Israel. Third, the separation of a predominantly Alawite and Druze area from the central administration in Syria would be a golden opportunity for Israel. In this case, the area could serve as a buffer zone between Israel and the Sunni Arab world to the north. In Lebanon, Hezbollah is preferable to Sunni Arabs for Israel. The genie is out of the bottle in Syria. The question is, who will be the genie’s master? If it is Israel or Iran, there will be no stability in the region for a while. But if the groups reach consensus and settle their disagreements, agreeing on a central government or authority, the vicious plans of third parties for the region will be foiled.
