Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud iyo ra’iisul wasaaraha Itoobiya Abiy Ahmed ayaa shalay Ankara ku saxiixday heshiis taariikhi ah oo lagu soo afjarayo khilaafkii labada dal, kaasi oo uu fududeeyey madaxweyne Erdogan. Heshiiskan oo xal looga gaarayo xiisadda muddooyinkii dambe ka dhex aloosneyd labada dal ayaa waxaa durba laga muujinayaa shaki xooggan, ayadoo ra’iisul wasaarihii hore ee dalka Xasan Cali Kheyre uu ayaan-darro ku tilmaamay in madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu gorgortan la galo Itoobiya. “Waxaa ayaandarro ah in Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu gorgortan la galo Itoobiya oo weli ku adkeysanaysa is afgaradkii halista ku ahaa midnimada iyo madaxbannaanida Soomaaliya,” ayuu yiri Kheyre Hoos ka aqriso qoraalka Kheyre 1-dii Jannaayo 2024, Itoobiya waxa ay duullaan qaawan ku soo qaadday dalkeenna, ka dib markii ay heshiis is afgarad ah oo sharcidarro ah la saxiixatay Madaxweynihii hore ee Somaliland. Umadda Soomaaliyeed, shacab iyo dowladba waxa ay ka gilgisheen duullaankaas, waxa ayna madaxda Dowladda Federaalku ballanqaadeen in aaney wadahadal la geli doonin Itoobiya iyadoo aan si rasmi ah uga laaban heshiiskaas xadgudubka ku ah qarannimada Soomaaliyeed. Waxaa ayaandarro ah in Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu gorgortan la galo Itoobiya oo weli ku adkeysanaysa is afgaradkii halista ku ahaa midnimada iyo madaxbannaanida Soomaaliya. In Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh uu wadahadal la galo Itoobiya iyadoo aan la laalin is afgaradkii sharcidarrada ahaa, Itoobiyana u ogolaado baddeenna, waa xadgudub hor leh oo lagula kacay qarannimada Soomaaliya oo Madaxweynaha dalku garwadeen ka yahay. Heshiiskii is afgaradka ahaa ee 1dii Jannaayo 2024 waa folkaano u aasan dadka iyo dalka Soomaaliyeed oo qarxi karta xilli waliba. Si khatartaas looga gaashaanto waa in wadahadal kasta oo Itoobiya lala gelayo ay shardi u ahaataa in ay heshiiskaas si rasmi uga laabato. Waxaana Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh ugu baaqayaa in aanu halistaas u hoosaasin dadka iyo dalka, gorgortan siyaasadeedna ku gelin qarannimada Soomaaliyeed, mudnaanta koowaadna siiyo daminta colaadaha iyo xiisadda siyaasadeed ee ka aloolsan gudaha dalka iyo adkeynta midnimada iyo wadajirka umadda oo maanta kala dhantaalan. Waxaan ummadda Soomaaliyeed, shacab iyo dowladba, ku boorrinayaa in ay ka feejignaadaan halista ku geedaamaan heshiiskaas sharcidarrada ah iyo tallaabooyinka aan laga baaraandegin ee ay qaadeyso dowladda Federaalka oo dhaawac ku noqon doonta madaxbannaanida, midnimada, iyo mustaqbalka Soomaaliya.

Dimishiq (Caasimada Online) – Sawirro dayax-gacmeed oo ay BBC-du aragtay ayaa muujinaya in maraakiibta dagaalka ee Ruushku ay si ku-meel-gaar ah uga baxeen dekeddoodii ugu weynayd ee loo qoondeeyey ee Suuriya, iyada oo ay weli jirto hubaal la’aanta mustaqbalka joogitaanka ciidammada Ruushka ee gobolka kadib markii la riday Bashaar Al-Asad oo ay xulafo ahaayeen Moscow. Sawirro ay qaadeen adeegga dayax-gacmeedka Maxar 10-kii bishii December ayaa muujinayay in qaar ka mid ah maraakiibta Ruushka ay ka baxeen saldhigga ciidamada badda ee Tartus Axaddii lasoo dhaafay, haatanna ay ku xiran yihiin xeebta badda Mediterranean-ka. Dhanka kale, sawirro kale oo isla maalintaas la qaaday ayaa muujinaya dhaq-dhaqaaqyada ka socda saldhigga ugu weyn ee Ruushka ee Suuriya, Hmeimim, iyadoo diyaaraduhu ay si cad uga muuqdaan dhabbaha ay diyaaraduhu ku ordaan. Afhayeenka Kremlin-ka Dmitry Peskov ayaa Isniintii sheegay in Moscow ay wadahadallo la yeelan doonto mas’uuliyiinta cusub kuwaas oo ku saabsan mustaqbalka joogitaanka ciidamada Ruushka ee gobolka, isagoo ku daray faallooyin uu siiyay warbaahinta Ruushka: “Waxaan hadda sameyneynaa wax walba oo aan awoodno si aan ula xiriirno kuwa ku lugta leh xaqiijinta amniga, iyo dabcan ciidankeenu in uu qaadayo dhammaan tallaabooyinka lagama maarmaanka ah.” Peskov ayaa mar sii horeysay ka digay in ay “aad u horeeyso” in laga fikiro mustaqbalka saldhigyada militari ee dalkiisa ee Suuriya ku yaalla. Saldhigga ciidamada badda ee Tartus waa halka mideysa cutubyo ka tirsan Maleeshiyada Badda Madow waana xarunta kaliya ee dayactirka iyo dib-u-habaynta Ruushka ee badda Mediterranean-ka. Midowgii Sofiyeetka ayaa saldhigan sameeyay 1970-meeyadii, Ruushka ayaa ballaariyay oo casriyeeyay sanadkii 2012-kii markii Kremlin-ka uu billaabay inuu kordhiyo taageerada uu siiyo maamulkii Bashaar Al-Asad ee xukunka laga tuuray. Saldhigan ayaa ka caawinaya maraakiibta Ruushka inay ku sii sugnaadaan badda Mediterranean-ka, iyagoo aan dib ugu laaban dekedaha ku yaal badda madow iyagoo sii maraya marinka Turkiga, waana deked biyo qoto dheer, taasoo soo jeedinaysa inay sidoo kale ku habboon tahay maraakiibta quusta ee Nukliyeerka ee Ruushka, sida uu sheegay Maraykanku. Sawirro cusub oo dayax-gacmeedku soo qaaday ayaa muujinaya in Moscow ay ugu yaraan si ku-meel-gaar ah uga rartay maraakiibteeda dekedda, iyadoo laba ka mid ah maraakiibta gantaalaha ah ee hagaya ay ku xirteen meel 13 kiiloomitir u jirta xeebta Suuriya, halka ay ku sugan yihiin inta kale ee maraakiibta Ruushka ee ku sugnaa badda. Aagga ayaan la garanayn marka la barbar dhigo waxa sawiradii hore ay muujinayaan. Sidoo kale ma cadda in bixitaanka maraakiibtan ciidamada badda ay tahay ka bixitaanka dekedda Tartus oo rasmi ah ama xaalad ku meel gaar ah. Dhowrkii toddobaad ee la soo dhaafay, sawirada dayax-gacmeedka ayaa muujinaya maraakiib dagaal oo dhowr jeer ka soo degaya dekedda. Mike Plunkett, oo ah falanqeeye sirdoon, difaaca iyo isha furan ee Jane, ayaa soo jeediyay in dhaqdhaqaaqyada Ruushku ay noqon karaan “si loo hubiyo in maraakiibta aan la weerarin.” “Lama oga inay ka walaacsan yihiin weerar suurtagal ah oo ay geystaan xoogaga mucaaradka Suuriya ama in ay ka walaacsan yihiin khasaaraha ka dhalan kara weerar kasta oo Israa’iil ku qaado bartilmaameedyada Suuriya ee Tartus,” ayuu yiri Plunkett. Falanqeeyayaasha ayaa soo jeediyay in haddii Ruushka lagu qasbo inuu xiro saldhigga ciidamada badda ee Tartus, laga yaabo inuu dib u celiyo hantidiisa badda Tobruk ee Liibiya, oo ah aagga ay maamusho Kremlin-ka ee Khalifa Haftar oo horey u martigeliyay qaar ka mid ah saldhigyada cirka ee Ruushka. Laakin ka bixitaanka Tartus waxay noqon doontaa mid aad u sarreysa, Van Lokeren ayaa xusay in tallaabadan oo kale ay sidoo kale keeni doonto in maraakiibta Ruushka ay ku dhawaadaan saldhigyada NATO, taasoo sahlaysa in si fudud loola socdo. Tan iyo 2015, saldhigga hawada ee Hmeimim wuxuu ahaa qayb muhiim ah oo ka mid ah hawlgallada Ruushka ee Bariga Dhexe iyo Afrika, oo loo isticmaali jiray in ay duqeymo ba’an ku qaadaan magaalooyin ku yaal Suuriya si ay u taageeraan nidaamka Asad iyo in lagu qaado qandaraaslayaasha militariga ee Afrika. Inkastoo xaaladda la filayo in ciidamada Ruushku ay u badan tahay in ay ku nool yihiin, dhicitaanka nidaamka Assad ayaa ka dhigan dharbaaxo weyn oo ku wajahan hamiga Kremlin ee gobolka. Intii lagu guda jiray booqasho uu ku tagay saldhigga hawada ee Hmeimim ee 2017, Madaxweyne Vladimir Putin wuxuu caddeeyay inuu damacsanaa joogitaanka Moscow inuu noqdo mashruuc waqti dheer ah. Isaga oo ka faalloonaya xaaladda, blogger-ka militariga ee Kremlin-ka Rebar ayaa uga digay Telegram in muujinta awoodda Ruushka ee gobolka ay halis weyn ku jirto, isagoo soo jeediyay in “joogitaanka militariga Ruushka ee Bariga Dhexe uu dun ka laadlaadsan yahay.” Isha: BBC

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Somaliland’s new president, Abdirahi Mohamed Abdullahi, favors the continued development of close ties to Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Friday. While the two countries did not maintain official diplomatic relations, they opened representative offices in each other’s capital in 2020. Deputy Foreign Minister Francois Wu (吳志中) attended the presidential inauguration Thursday as Taiwan President Lai Ching-te’s (賴清德) special envoy. Since both sides faced regional challenges including pressure from China, the new government would maintain close and mutually beneficial relations, Abdellahi said. He expressed the hope that more Taiwanese businesses would invest in the East African country, per CNA. During his meeting with Wu, Abdellahi described Taiwan as a key partner. He emphasized their collaboration in fields including telecom, education, and public health, adding the projects had helped raise the living standards of the people of Somaliland. Wu also met with outgoing President Muse Bihi Abdi and discussed the priorities of the new administration with senior government members, MOFA said. Qaran News

Kismaayo (Caasimada Online) – Madaxtooyada Jubaland ayaa mar kale war-saxaafadeed ka soo saartay dagaalkii Arbacada ka dhacay deegaanka Raas Kaambooni ee dhex-maray ciidamada maamulkaas iyo kuwa Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya. Jubaland ayaa ku eedeysay dagaalka inuu soo abaabulay madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud iyo kooxdiisa, oo ay sheegtay in ay u arkayeen inay ku gaari karaan dano siyaasadeed oo gurracan iyadoo la adeegsanayo Ciidanka Xoogga Dalka (CXD), sida hadalka loo dhigay. Hoos ka aqriso qoraalka Jubaland WAR-SAXAAFADEED Dowladda Jubaland waxay si aad ah uga xuntahay dagaalkii shalay ka dhacay deegaanka Raas-Kambooni ee gobolka Jubada Hoose halkaas oo si nasiib darro ah ay isku dileen wiilal Soomaaliyeed, Waa dhacdo laga baaqsan karay iyadoo ay ahayd in lagu xalliyo wada-hadal iyo isku tanaasul. Sida marar badan aan Caddeeynay, dagaalkan waxaa soo abaabulay Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud iyo kooxdiisa kuwaas oo u arkayay inay ku gaari karaan dano siyaasadeed oo gurracan iyadoo la adeegsanayo Ciidanka Xoogga Dalka (CXD) si ka baxsan waajibaadka sharci ee ciidanku leeyahay. Falalkan sharci-darrada ah awgood, Xasan Sheekh iyo kooxdiisu waxay ciidamo u soo daabuleen deegaanka Raas-Kambooni halkaas oo dabka lagu shiday dhalinyaro Soomaaliyeed si loo gaaro ahdaaf siyaasadeed oo baal-marsan dastuurka iyo shuruucda dalka. Waa muhiim in la xuso in deegaanka Raas-Kambooni uu ahaa deegaan nabdoon oo aysan ka jirin wax amni-darro ah 13-kii sano ee la soo dhaafay Sidoo kalana ayna qeyb ka ahayn deegaanada ay joogeen Ciidamada ATMIS ee dalka ka baxaya. Nasiib darro halkii dowladdu u adeegsan lahayd CXD deegaannada weli ku jira gacanta Khawaariijta ayaa loo isticmaalay deegaan nabdoon oo ka xoroobay Khawaariijta sanadkii 2011ka. Waxaa tusaale muuqda ah in deegaannada ku hareeraysan Muqdisho ay weli ka taliyaan Khawaariijta iyadoo Xasan Sheekh uu CXD diyaarad ku keenay Raas-Kambooni si uu u fuliyo dano siyaasadeed oo aan waafaqsaneyn maslaxadda guud ee dalka. Dowladda Jubaland waxay aaminsan tahay in qorshayaasha CXD lagu dhex gelinayo arrimaha siyaasadda ay yihiin kuwo dhabar-jab ku ah dib-u-dhiska dowladnimada gaar ahaan hay’adaha amniga iyo CXD oo ah laf-dhabarta qaranimada dalkeenna. Maanta qaar ka mid ah dhaawacyadii CXD ee ku waxyeeloobay dagaalka Raas-Kambooni ayaan u dirnay magaalada Muqdisho si ay u helaan adeegyo caafimaad oo dheeraad ah. Sidoo kale dhammaan ciidamada ku jira gacanta Jubaland waa wiilal Soomaaliyeed oo dhulkoodii jooga waxaana loola dhaqmayaa si sharaf leh, dhaawacyada waxaa la siinayaa daryeel caafimaad oo dhammeystiran, waxaana markii ay bogsadaan lagu celin doonaa guryahooda iyagoo nabad qaba. Ugu dambeyn Dowladda Jubaland waxay Caddeeynaysa mowqifkeeda ah in xalka khilaafaadka siyaasadeed uusan ku jirin xabad. Jubaland mar walba diyaar ayay u tahay wada-hadal iyo in wixii kala aragti duwanaansho ah lagu xalliyo miiska wada-tashiga iyo isku tanaasulka. DHAMMAAD

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (C) said the agreement was “the first step towards a new beginning” Ethiopia and Somalia have agreed to end their bitter dispute over Addis Ababa’s plans to build a port in the breakaway republic of Somaliland following talks in Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed the “historic agreement”, which he said would eventually ensure landlocked Ethiopia’s access to the sea. At the press conference he held hands with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who both agreed to respect one another’s “sovereignty”. The two neighbours have been at loggerheads since January when Ethiopia signed a maritime deal with Somaliland – which Somalia considers as part of its territory. It prompted fears of a wider regional conflict as Egypt has been backing Somalia – largely due to its anger with Ethiopia for building a dam on the River Nile. Turkey has in recent years become an important geopolitical player in the Horn of Africa as it has close economic ties with Addis Ababa and security deals with Mogadishu. Erdogan said the agreement – announced on Wednesday night in the Turkish capital, Ankara – was “the first step towards a new beginning”. “I congratulate both my brothers for reaching to this historic reconciliation with devotion and thank them for their constructive attitude,” he said. President Mohamud said his country was “ready to work with the Ethiopian leadership and the Ethiopian people”. While Prime Minister Abiy insisted Ethiopia’s efforts to secure and reliable access to the sea did not threaten Somalia and the two had “addressed the misunderstandings that have occurred over the past year”. The feud began on New Year’s Day, when Abiy signed a controversial deal with Somaliland to lease a 20km (12-mile) section of its coastline for 50 years to set up a naval base. In exchange, Ethiopia – the world’s most-populous landlocked nation – was to reportedly recognise Somaliland as an independent country, although Addis Ababa never explicitly confirmed this. Somaliland, which broke away from Somalia more than 30 years ago, has long been pushing for recognition – but Mogadishu described the move as an act of “aggression”. According to the Ankara joint declaration, the two Horn of Africa neighbours are to reconvene in February to hold “technical talks”. In the interim they will strive to reach “mutually beneficial commercial arrangements” to ensure Ethiopia gains access to the sea “under Somalia’s sovereignty”. It is not clear if Ethiopia has discarded the deal it signed with Somaliland – something demanded by Somalia at earlier mediation efforts. Last month, Somaliland elected a new president – former opposition leader Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi – who promised to “review” the maritime deal. During his inauguration speech on Thursday morning he made no mention of it. Somaliland is located in a strategic part of the world, and is seen as a gateway to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.

New President Sworn in as Somaliland Pushes for Global Recognition Somaliland’s newly elected President, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, pledges to bolster foreign policy and pursue international recognition in his inaugural address. Despite its 30-year push for sovereignty, Somaliland remains unrecognized globally. The new administration criticizes and plans to review the recent contentious Ethiopia land deal. Abdullahi was sworn in as the region’s sixth president, amid heightened aspirations for global acknowledgment. Abdullahi, the former opposition leader, triumphed in last month’s election and is determined to solidify Somaliland’s standing on the world stage. In his first official address in the capital, Hargeisa, Abdullahi vowed to invigorate Somaliland’s foreign policy and amplified efforts toward its pursuit of international recognition. Somaliland declared its independence more than three decades ago but remains unrecognized by global bodies and nations alike. It has, however, maintained a stable governance system in stark contrast to Somalia’s security challenges. One of Abdullahi’s initial challenges is managing Somaliland’s controversial agreement with Ethiopia. This deal, promising Ethiopian recognition in exchange for a marine force base, has been criticized for its opacity. The new president aims to review such agreements to ensure they adhere to Somaliland’s strategic and recognition goals. Qaran News
