Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Ayada oo la filayo inuu dhowaan uu dalka si rasmi ah uga billowdo wajiga labaad ee dagaalka ka dhanka ah Al-Shabaab ayaa waxaa mar kale ujeedka dagaalkan waxaa faahfaahin ka bixiyay madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud. Madaxweynaha oo shalay ka hor hadlayay Baarlamaanka Soomaaliyeed ayaa mar kale ku celiyay in dowladdiisa ay ka go’an tahay la dagaalanka Shabaab, si dalka looga xoreeyo. Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud ayaa carabka ku goday in wejiga labaad ee howlgalka oo ay ka qayb-qaadan doonaan dalalka dariska ah uu noqon doono kii ugu dambeeyay ee lagu soo afjarayo kooxda Al-Shabaab oo in ka badan 15 sanno dagaal ka wada gudaha Soomaaliya. “Goor dhow, waxaa dib u billaanabanaa wejiga 2aad ee howlgalladaasi kaasi oo noqonayaa midka lagu soo afjarayo jiritaanka Khawaarijta Al-shabaab haddii Alle oggolaado” ayuu yiri. Sidoo kale wuxuu sii raaciyay “Khawaarijta Al-shabaab waa cudur daawadiisu tahay dabargoyn. Dowladda aan anigu hoggaamiyana waxaa ka go’an in la ciribtiro Al-shabaab, loogu tago goob iyo god kasta oo ay ku jiraan. Waxaan aamminsanahay in dagaalkoodu yahay waajib diini ah oo ay tahay inuu qof kasta oo muslim ah ka qayb qaato.” Madaxweynaha ayaa sidoo kale xusay doorka culumada ee ku aadan dagaalka ay iclaamisay dowladdiisa, maadaama ay horay Fatwo uga saareen la dirirka Shabaab. Waxaa kale oo uu intaasi kusii daray in bulshada Soomaaliyeed iyo cid kasta oo ay heli karaan ay dooneen taageero, si meel looga soo wada jeesto kooxda Al-Shabaab. “Annagoo aragtidaasi ka duuleyna ayaan abaabulnay culumaa’udiinka Soomaaliyeed, waxayna si geesinimo leh uga soo saareen fatwo diini ah oo ku aaddan Khawaarijnimada Al-shabaab. Waxaan, sidoo kale, taageero iyo garab istaag uga raadsanay cid kasta oo nala garabgeli karta dagaalka xaqa ah ee aan kula jirno khawaarijta sida arxanka darrada ah u hortaaggan in dadkeenu ku noolaadaan nolol karaama leh.” ayuu yiri Xasan Sheekh. Ugu dambeyn wuxuu hoosta ka xariiqay in dagaalka ay kula jiraan Al-Shabaab aysan dowladdu ka laheyn dan siyaasadeed, balse u jeedka uu yahay in shacabka laga dul-qaado kooxdaan oo weeraro saf-ballaaran ah ka fulisa dalka oo dhan iyo xitta dalalka dariska ah. “Waxaan rabaa in aan labada gole ee Barlamaankeena sharafta leh hortiisa hoosta uga xariiqo in dagaalka Al-shabaab uusan ahayn mid siyaasad geli kara. Dhiigga iyo amniga shacabka Soomaaliyeed ma ah mid siyaasad iyo gorgortankeeduba ka furan yihiin. Sidaa daraaddeed, waxaan aaminsanahay iney waajib tahay in laga fogaado isqabqabsi kasta oo siyaasadeed oo fursad looga mashquulo u abuuri kara Khawaaarijta Al-shabaab.” ayuu hadalkiisa kusoo gabagabeeyay madaxweynaha dowladda federaalka ah ee Soomaaliya.

In Moscow: The Somali Foreign Minister Abshir Huruse and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov sign a Memorandum of Understanding on bilateral relations. Mogadishu (PP Editorial) — At the height of the Cold War Somalia veered from the East to the West. In 2023 the Federal Government of Somalia engages in a shameless diplomatic double-dipping. Last week, the Foreign Minister of Somalia Abshir Jama signed an agreement with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in what some analysts have dubbed “ingratitude shown to the USA”, a country whose taxpayers fund several institutions of the federal government. Somalia voted in favour of a UN resolution again the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Somalia is a sovereign nation state. It can choose its friends, but in the domain of geopolitics not all friends can become boon to a country’s strategic goals. If a country tries to benefit from two opposing systems, it should be prepared for the metaphorical risk of simultaneously riding two horses. Does President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud prefer diplomatic double-dipping to diplomatic prudence? Lack of institutional memory can explain the Somali diplomatic escapades that leave major western donors befuddled. The Federal Government of Somalia leaders will be engaging in diplomatic grandstanding if they court attention by giving the impression that Somalia is on board with Russia over the violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is the second diplomatic failure engineered by the Somalia Foreign Ministry. Last year, the Federal Government of Somalia backed Somaliland Security Partnership between USA and the secessionist administration of Somalia. The Laascaanood war has forced the US government to rethink the partnership it had envisaged without political due diligence. The Federal Government of Somalia could have consulted retired Somali diplomats to fill the gap created by the destruction of the Somalia Foreign Ministry archives. Whoever is formulating the Somali foreign policy, it is patently clear that diplomatic double-dipping costs Somalia well-meaning friends. The Federal Government of Somalia should not be spending meagre resources on public relations stunts intended to inadvertently convey cluelessness about global politics. © Puntland Post, 2023 The post Somalia’s Foreign Policy Compromised by diplomatic double-dipping appeared first on Puntland Post.

President Hassan Sheikh receiving his doctoral certificate after writing a dissertation he refuses to be read or quoted from. Mogadishu (Commentary) — Only after 1990 did the phrase political minorities come to be adopted as a category for certain Somali social groups (clans). Under the current categorisation Jareer weyn is wrongly classed as a minority clan despite constituting more than 30% of populations in Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Middle Jubba, Lower Jubba. In other regions in southern Somalia Jareer Weyn members make up no less than 15% of the population. They are political minorities whose status was diabolically decided in Djibouti in 2000 where the infamous 4.5 system was unveiled. Thirty years ago Digil & Mirifle was classed as a political minority due to the man-made famine after General Aideed’s militias looted relief supplies sent to the victims of the famine. President George H. W. Bush said he was sending the Marines to ensure relief supplies reached the areas affected by the famine. There were no armed clan militias loyal to Digil & Mirifle warlords. Only after 1998 was Rahanweyn Resistance Army formed to liberate Baydhabo from Hussein Aideed’s militias. At the Djibouti reconciliation conference in 2000, Digil & Mirifle’s status was upgraded from political minority to political majority (one of the 4 clans that regard the rest of clans as second class citizens). Before 1991 the Banadiri clan members predominantly inhabited Hamarweyne, Shibbis, Shangaani and Hamarjajab, in addition to Marka, Baraawe and Kismaayo. 34 years ago a thirty year old man in Mogadishu would not have described the status of a Banadiri person as a member of a minority clan because most of Banadiri members were comparatively well-off (they owned prime real estate in Mogadishu; their areas were in central Mogadishu), to mention some of their past economic prominence. Today Hamarweyne and Shangani still bear the signs of the destruction wrought on them during the three-month long war between General Aideed and Ali Mahdi forces 31 years ago. Banadiris, like Jareer Weyn, are political minorities whose properties and areas of origin have been taken over by clan militias that claim Mogadishu to be their clan’s stronghold. The 4.5 system is a victory for the proponents of United Somali Congress legacy. In his PhD dissertation (it can be read at the library of his alma mater but cannot not be quoted for 10 years in line with his request to the dissertation committee), President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud absolves politicians of Human rights violations during 1990s but terms it inter-clan power struggles. Before 1991 Mogadishu was a multi-clan capital city. Today, it is Mogadishu Clan stronghold: school buildings were taken over by clan militias; dominant subclans turned public gardens into retail outlets. Mogadishu fairgrounds (fiera) are illegally occupied by families of the militias who captured the area. It is not ordinary clan members who made the decision to dispossess fellow citizens or occupy public properties illegally; it is political leaders who oversaw the destruction of Mogadishu after they began to consider the capital city to be their clan’s stronghold. By only looking at the present-day Mogadishu and comparing it to its pre-1991 status can one understand how political minorities came into existence as a concept. It is a concept premised on dispossession and marginalisation fellow citizens. In his 1992 essay Destruction of State and Society in Somalia: Beyond the Tribal Convention, Professor Abdi Samatar argued that USC militias had captured Mogadishu to “liberate” people from their possessions. No Somali clan thinks it is outnumbered by another clan. That makes conducting a census a Herculean, if not a Sisyphean, task. Can Mogadishu, a capital city still unable to deal with the legacy of dispossession by politically dominant clan militias, host institutions charged with collecting data or conducting census? A clan member can claim to be a political majority on the basis of where his felllow clansmen outnumber members from other clans. Since the idea of minority in Somalia is a political imposition institutionalised at so-called reconciliation conferences, it is fair to recognise any person who claims to belong to a politically majority clan as a looter who, like an armed clan militia member, insists on being entitled to deprive other citizens of private or public assets. In the Somali vernacular that type of entitlement is known as unukaa leh. The post Who are political minorities in Somalia? appeared first on Puntland Post.

Minnesota (Caasimada Online) – Tan iyo markii uu Golaha Wadatashiga Qaranka uu baahiyay War-murtiyeedka shirkii u dambeeyay ee ku yeeshay Villa Somalia, ayaa waxaa xoogeysaneyay walaaca laga qabo heshiisyada ay Madaxda Golaha ku gaareen shirkaasi. Madaxdii hore ee dalka iyo siyaasiyiin miisaan culus leh ayaa si adag uga hortimid, iyaga oo ku tilmaamay mid baal-marsan shuruucda dalka u yaalla iyo awood qeybsiga siyaasadeed ee dadka Soomaaliyeed hore ugu heshiiyeen. Sidoo kale waxay sheegeen in go’aanada kasoo baxay Golaha Wadatashiga Qaranka ay khatar gelin karaan midnimada iyo wada-jirka umadda Soomaaliyeed, waxayna ku baaqeen in go’aanadaas masiiriga ah ee dalka laga qeyb-galiyo dhamaan dowlad-goboleedyada iyo qeybaha kala duwan ee bulshada Soomaaliyeed. Haddaba, Maxay tahay arrinta hoos u dhigeysa walaaca laga muujinayo heshiiskan? Aamiin Haaruun oo ah sharci yaqaan degan Minnesota ayaa waxa uu sheegay in go’aanadda kasoo baxay Golaha Wadatashiga Qaranka ay yihiin heshiis siyaasadeed, oo hadda iyo kow u baahan dhaqan-gelin, ee aysan aheyn qaraar kama dambeys ah oo meel-maraya. Garyaqaan Haaruun ayaa waxa uu ka dhawaajiyay in heshiiskan siyaasadeed ee gaareen madaxda Golaha Wadatashiga Qaranka uu ka dhigan yahay “isku-day hal abuur iyo talo soo jeedin”, taasi oo u baahan in laga doodo wixii wanaagsan laga qaato, wixii kalena laga tuuro. “Sharcigan dhaqan-gal ma ahan, sidaasna maha. Sharci waa wixii Baarlamaanku ansixiyo, guddiyo iyo dooda badan kadib oo hadana madaxweyne saxiixo,” ayuu yiri Garyaqaan Aamiin Haaruun. “Heshiisyadani waa isku day hal abuur iyo talo soo jeedin loo baahanyahay in laga doodo oo wixii wanaagsan laga qaato, wixii aan fiicnayna laga tuuro. heshiisyadani ugu yaraan waxay furayaan dood iyo aragtiyo wax lagu dhisi karo.” Garyaqaanka ayaa ugu dambeyntiina waxa uu sheegay in doodaha noocaan oo kale ah abuurayaan fursado lagu curiyo fikrado loo aayi karo iyo albaabada doodo Qaran. “Qaranka waxaa lagama maarmaan u ah in mar waliba doodo lagu jiro lagu hagaajinayo dowladnimada iyo adeegyada dadka loo hayo. Sidaas ayaa haboon in loo fahmo.” The post Khaladka laga fahmay heshiiska golaha wadatashiga appeared first on Caasimada Online.

Tackling those who support clan representation in Somali politics requires a multi-pronged approach that addresses both the underlying causes of the problem and the immediate challenges posed by clan-based politics. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge the historical and cultural factors that have contributed to the prevalence of clan identity in Somali society and to work towards promoting a more inclusive and representative political system that accommodates the diversity of the population. Secondly, efforts should be made to empower civil society organizations and independent media to promote alternative narratives and challenge the dominance of clan-based politics in public discourse. Additionally, targeted interventions such as education and awareness-raising campaigns can help to build a more informed and engaged citizenry that is less susceptible to divisive and exclusionary political rhetoric. Finally, regional and international actors can play a role in supporting democratic institutions and processes in Somalia and promoting a more stable and peaceful political environment that is less reliant on clan affiliations. Those who have benefited from clan politics of 4.5 in Somalia including political elites, local & International NGO’s, Think-Tank groups, and other influential individuals who leverage clan affiliations to secure power, resources, and influence and using their misinformation and propaganda, it is important to address the underlying incentives that drive support for clan-based politics, such as the resources and access to power. This can be achieved through increased transparency and accountability in government, as well as the promotion of alternative channels for political participation and representation that are based on merit and competence, rather than clan identity. Additionally, efforts should be made to build alliances across clan lines and promote a shared sense of national identity that transcends narrow clan interests. This can be achieved through initiatives that promote inter-clan dialogue, cultural exchange, and civic education, as well as the promotion of positive narratives that highlight the benefits of cooperation and collaboration across clan lines. An important aspect of promoting democracy in Somalia is the role of competent diplomats who can effectively sell the President’s vision on the world stage. A skilled foreign minister who has the capacity and resources to enhance Somalia’s diplomatic relationships can play a critical role in advancing the country’s agenda and building positive relationships with other nations. By promoting Somalia’s economic potential, cultural heritage, and strategic importance, competent diplomats can help to attract foreign investment, foster trade partnerships, and promote cultural exchange. A skilled foreign minister can help to build alliances with other countries, enhance Somalia’s security and defense capabilities, and promote the country’s interests in regional and international organizations. Ultimately, competent diplomats who are able to effectively represent Somalia’s interests on the global stage can help to promote democracy, stability, and prosperity in the country, and enhance its standing as a respected member of the international community. The legacy that a President Hassan Sheikh can achieve for bringing people to elect their leaders through a democratic process is significant and long-lasting. By promoting free and fair elections, a President Hassan can also help to establish a culture of democratic participation and civic engagement that fosters a more responsive and accountable government. This can lead to greater transparency, increased public trust in government, and a more stable political environment that is less prone to conflict and violence. Additionally, a President Hassan Sheikh must prioritizes democratic reforms can that can help to build institutional capacity and strengthen the rule of law, laying the foundation for sustainable economic growth and development. By championing democratic principles and practices, President Hassan can also serve as a role model for other leaders and inspire citizens to take an active role in shaping the future of our country. Ultimately, if President Hassan successfully promotes democratic values and practices can leave a lasting legacy of progress, prosperity, and peace for future generations. Ismail D.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Militariga Uganda ayaa markii u horeysay qiray in qaar kamid ah askartooda ay u gacan galeen kooxda Al-Shabaab kadib weerarki ay Jimcihii dagaal-yahaanada kooxda ku qaadeen saldhiggooda militari ee magaalada Buulo Mareer. Afhayeenka ciidamada Uganda Felix Kulaigye ayaa arrintaas u xaqiijiyay VOA, balse ma shaacin tirada askarta la qabsaday ee u gacan galay kooxda Al-Shabaab. “Waxay noqoneysa mala-awaal,” ayuu yiri mar la weydiiyay tirada ciidanka la qabsaday. Sidoo kale waxa uu sheegay inay koox u direen Soomaaliya, oo soo baarta xaaladda, kadibna ay warbaahinta la wadaagi doonaan natiijada baaritaankaas. Dhinaca kale, Sarkaal Soomaali oo codsaday in aan magaciisa la sheegin ayaa VOA u sheegay in kooxda Al-Shabaab ay qabsadeen ugu yaraan saddex askari, oo kamid ah kuwa Uganda, kadib weerarkii ay kooxda ku qaaday saldhigooda Buulo Mareer. Kooxda Al-Shabaab ayaa dhankooda hore u baahiyay in weerarkii Jimcaha ay ku dileen 137 ka tirsan ciidamada Uganda, hase yeeshe shalay tiradaasi wey kordhiyeen waxayna gaarsiiyeen in ka badan 200. Sheegashadan ma ahan mid si madax-banaan loo xaqiijiyay. Saldhiga Buulo Mareer ee ciidamada ATMIS, gaar ahaan kuwa Uganda ayaa waxa uu afhayeenka sheegay in xilliga weerarka uu dhacayay ay ku sugnaayeen hal urur oo dhan 221 askari, islamarkaana ay Al-Shabaab buun-buunineyso tirada dhimashada. Madaxweynaha Uganda Yoweri Museveni oo weerarkaasi ka hadlay ayaa sheegay in weerarkaasi ay soo qaadeen illaa 800 oo xubnood, wuxuuna qiray inay cagta mariyeen saldhigga ciidanka Uganda ee magaalada Buulo-Mareer. Museveni ayaa soo hadal qaaday sida lagu jebiyay ciidamadiisa, wuxuuna sheegay in ay argagaxeen, taasina ay ka faa’iideysteen xubnaha Al-Shabaab, ee weerarka ku soo qaaday saldhiga Buulo Mareer. “Qaar kamid ah askartii halkaas sugneyd ayaan soo bandhigin waxqabadkii laga filayay, argagax ayeyna ku dhaceen, taas oo keentay inay is habeeyaan, Al-Shabaab-na ay ka faa’iideysteen. Howl-galada Soomaaliya iyo masraxada kale, waa howl-gallo dagaal ee maaha howlo samafal oo aad ka heli karto gunnooyinka QM,” ayuu yiri.
