Authorities in Somaliland have on Saturday released Abdimalik Muse Oldon, a well known Somali journalist and an activist after being in prison for more than a year in Hargeisa, the capital of the breakaway region of Somaliland. The freelance journalist Abdimalik Muse Oldon was arrested on April 17 in Buroa city over his critical reporting against Somaliland government officials, harsh social media posts and smear campaign against Abaarso school in Hargeisa. Speaking during a press conference shortly after his release, Oldon thanked all people that worked tirelessly to ensure that he got his freedom back. “I am happy to regain my freedom and I thank all sides which contributed to my release. I would like particularly thank here the leaders of main opposition parties of Wadani and UCID and organizations like EU parliament and the amnesty international for their selfless effort and solidarity they showed me during my detention and advocating for my freedom.” Journalist Oldon said.” He further said that he will not retaliate but rather forgive those who put him behind bars. “Let’s not recall back what happened but focus in future due to the circumstances we are going through” Usually Somaliland detains journalists, artists and writers who travel to Mogadishu, the Somali capital accusing them of violating the existence and sovereignty of Somaliland. Last month, Somaliland authorities arrested two female musicians Hamda Yousuf Ibrahim and Barwaaqo Mohamed Hashi only for traveling to Mogadishu. Somaliland sees Somalia as an obstacle hindering its efforts aimed at gaining an international recognition as seeks an independence from the rest of Somalia. Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991, but it is internationally recognized as an autonomous region in Somalia.

Gardafuu region is the youngest of Puntland’s current nine (9) regions. Its creation was announced in April 2013 and approved by the parliament three months later. The region was carved out of Bari region following protracted protests that reached to the level of demanding secession from Puntland as the region had been neglected in every aspect for years. Its capital of Alula is located 50 kilometres west of Cape Guardafui. At a press conference on 3 June 2020, a group of elders, elite, and politicians from the region aired their grievances against the mistreatment of Gardafuu region and its people by Puntland state. The group had earlier on 22 April 2020 demanded from Puntland a redress to their grievances but their demands fell into deaf ears. They have revealed that they now have their own armed forces to maintain public order and safety for the people in Gardafuu. Such grievances and protests, if not redressed soon can be the second wave of a social uprising to demand secession from Puntland. So what are their grievances? Since the establishment of Puntland in 1998, Gardafuu region has been physically isolated and continued to be on the margin of Puntland’s sub-conscious. It suffered from so much lack of care and apathy that it seems almost impossible to catch up with the other regions in Puntland. The few persons representing the region in the authorities are not often given the platform to present the needs of the region and therefore are not attended to. The political representation of the region is also limited compared to that of other regions. The authorities in Puntland have repeatedly halted joint assessment missions that were to be carried out by the International Organizations in response to the natural disasters that hit the region including the cyclones for reasons referred to by Puntland authorities as “insecurity” despite the region being the safest in Puntland with no crimes and terrorism ever reported since its establishment. The cyclones hit Alula and surrounding villages wiping houses and displacing over 2000 families in November 2019. Unfortunately, Puntland authorities never responded to these natural disasters in a large scale nor did the International Organizations. The main feeder roads were blocked and damaged as a result of the heavy rains beyond minor repairs, the only real infrastructure in the region. The only airport in the region also requires maintenance to allow planes to land. The communication sector is still in the primitive state as there is no coverage in major parts of the region. Puntland state assigned a committee to assess the damage caused by the heavy rains on the main road of Lafogoray for possible major maintenance. Unfortunately, and as of today, no maintenance has been performed – instead, the funds voluntarily collected from the people of Puntland for this purpose were corrupted. The region is suffering from poor healthcare and education services, lack of clean water, and electricity among others. The blocked feeder roads left the people with a lack of dietary choices and adequate nutrition, therefore, resulting in vulnerable people, particularly amid the spread of COVID19. Pregnant women die due to pregnancy complications and childbirth-related causes for lack of emergency obstetric care and therefore suffer obstructed labour. At times, they are transported to Bossaso for safe obstetric operation through boats on a voyage that takes more than 12 hours. Those pregnant women are not escorted by any professional healthcare staff and some of them, unfortunately, die during the journey. One can’t tolerate witnessing the way they are carried on-board the boats. Such a lack of basic services prompted many residents to migrate to the other towns in other regions of Puntland. People in Gardafuu region believe Puntland follows the motto of “do harm” instead of “do no harm” to the people of this region. Puntland launched a biometric registration for the police forces for better human resources management. Regrettably, the registration of the police forces in Gardafuu region was turned down by the Ministers of Security and Finance who were personally performing the registration process. Some 300 police forces were suddenly left unemployed. When asked the President, he stated that the omission took place due to a shortage of funds. Well, are funds only available for the other regions whose police forces were successfully registered? The recently appointed Chief of Police admitted there is no list of police forces from Gardafuu that was handed over to him when he took charge of the police forces in Puntland last month. Surely, Puntland doesn’t consider Gardafuu as part of its territory. Instead, the President is planning to deploy Puntland Maritime Police Forces (PMPF) managed and funded by Saracen, a private company owned by UAE. It is believed that the deployment of the PMPF has something to do with mining contracts Puntland struck with Chinese companies as the region has untapped reserves of mineral resources, including salt, iron ore, tantalum, copper, and coal. It is to be noted that Gardafuu renders revenue in the region of USD 4 million per year transferred directly to the government banks, but not even a tiny percentage of the generated revenue is re-invested in the region. It doesn’t also get its hands on the revenues generated elsewhere including the one generated through Bossaso port. Ironically, the Ministry of Finance has increased the taxation on the small fishing boats in Gardafuu that do not even have an infrastructure for docking. The Federal Government of Somalia, too, did not bother so much about the situation of many regions in Somalia similar to Gardafuu that are suffering from inequality and lack of development. Conclusion It is clear that the protracted neglect and unequal access to the resources have triggered frustration and protests among the elite, elders, and youngsters. It has also found expression in the armed civil disobedience of the police forces whose rights were denied. Prior to these protests, the elders met the current President on several occasions and requested him to do some reforms in the region and initiate development projects with a specific focus on health and education. Unfortunately, their request was not considered. The people in Gardafuu region now seem they are making efforts to depend on their own after exhausting all the laid down non-violent procedures to demand their rights from Puntland for 22 years. The voluntary armed police forces who called themselves as “The Somali Whale Force” requested the Federal Government of Somalia to support them since they were left unemployed by Puntland authorities. It is expected that Puntland authorities will label those elites and police forces as terrorists, pirates or other parties funded by the Federal Government to turn them against Puntland, but the fact is so simple; those people are volunteers who took up the lost cause and aspire to bring the region out of its current mess. Puntland is accustomed to the classic case of ‘déjà vu’ where it labels anyone or any group having a different opinion, as terrorists or individuals that are linked to the Federal Government to destabilize Puntland. But Somalis, as well as security agencies, are aware of the realities on the ground.

What is the Ethiopian leader’s interest in mediating talks between Somalia and Somaliland? On 1 June, Somaliland’s President Muse Bihi Abdi officially inaugurated the first 12 km of Berbera Corridor, a trade and transport route that connects landlocked Ethiopia to Somaliland’s Port of Berbera on the Gulf of Aden. The Addis Ababa-Berbera highway is being funded by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. Together with the US$442 million expansion of the Port of Berbera by another Emirati company, Dubai’s DP World, the highway will turn Berbera into a major regional trading hub. On one level, Somaliland is merely investing in what is likely to be a lucrative commercial venture, attracting more exports and imports from its much bigger and richer neighbour. But the Berbera highway clearly also has a more strategic purpose – to put an important political fact on the ground. That is, to make Berbera an integral part of Ethiopia’s economic network – and therefore also Somaliland. To the degree that Berbera becomes indispensable for Ethiopia, to that degree is Somaliland recognised – though only implicitly of course – as an independent state. Achieving such recognition has been Somaliland’s eternal quest – so far with no apparent success. Neither Ethiopia nor any other country explicitly recognises it as a sovereign nation. All officially still consider it to be a wayward province of Somalia. And there are no signs on the immediate horizon that any country is about to take the plunge and be the first to recognise the independent state of Somaliland. Yet because of its implicit recognition of Somaliland, the Berbera Port-highway project has annoyed Somalia. Two years ago when Somaliland and DP World ceded 19% of the Berbera Port project to Ethiopia, Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo, without mentioning names, warned foreign countries and companies not to ‘cross the line and put to question the sovereignty of Somalia.’ Ethiopian President Abiy Ahmed Ali’s government duly pledged respect for Somalia’s sovereignty a few months later. Yet Abiy, who ascended to Ethiopia’s prime ministership in April 2018, has shown no signs of abandoning the Berbera project. The corridor is important to Ethiopia’s strategic imperative of access to the sea. This is especially because cooling relations with Djibouti since Abiy’s rapprochement with Eritrea have placed something of a question mark over Ethiopia’s main maritime outlet through that country. However Abiy, the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize winner, is also exercising diplomatic skill. In February this year he hosted a meeting between Farmaajo and Bihi in Addis Ababa to try to help them patch up their quarrel. The encounter seems to have borne some fruit as the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Somalia, James Swan, told the Security Council earlier this month that ‘in regard to Somalia-“Somaliland” relations, we are encouraged that dialogue is ongoing at senior levels and that both sides have indicated a willingness to maintain communication and pursue further discussions.’ Abiy’s intervention as mediator is intriguing. One might think it would be Somalia that would consider Ethiopia a biased referee since Addis Ababa has a material interest in the offending Berbera project. Also Ethiopia is one of only three countries – along with Djibouti and Turkey – to have opened consulates in Hargeisa, Somaliland’s main city. Conversely, though, Abiy would probably not want to see a peaceful Somaliland weakened by Mogadishu. Ethiopia shares a border with Somaliland that is almost as long as that with Somalia, and a strong Somaliland provides a buffer for Ethiopia against al-Shabaab. So Abiy is walking a delicate tightrope on this issue, it seems. There is also a wider dimension to the Somali-Somaliland standoff. Middle East powers are pursuing proxy rivalries in the Horn, with the UAE backing Somaliland in part to counter Turkey and Qatar’s courtship of Somalia. What the secretive Somali-Somaliland negotiations to which Swan referred might produce is hard to envision. With Somaliland demanding complete independence and Somalia demanding complete unification, the theoretical compromise would be incorporation with a high degree of autonomy within what is already a federal Somali state. But it’s difficult to see Somaliland agreeing to that, and certainly not while Somalia remains locked in its bloody, existential struggle with al-Shabaab and protracted conflicts with federal states. Ironically in his report, Swan urged that the commitment to dialogue and cooperation exhibited by Somalia and Somaliland should be extended to relations between the Somali federal government in Mogadishu and the federal member states. That was a reminder that some of these states are just about as ‘independent’ in practice as Somaliland. Swan noted with regret that ‘it has been more than a year since the President and all Federal Member State leaders have met.’ So one might think Farmaajo would want to get his own house in order before considering adding another fractious member to the family. On the other hand, despite putting more solid facts on the ground, Somaliland looks as though it will have to settle for de facto, not de jure, independence – at least for a long while.
