Ethiopia’s capital of Addis Ababa on Friday saw hundreds of thousands of joyous people performing prayers as part of nationwide Eid al-Fitr celebration in the horn of African country, whose Muslim population is the second largest in Sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria. Seasonal rains abated to give way to refreshed men, women, children and elders gathered at the city center chanting Allahu Akbar or God is great. The huge gathering was joined by dignitaries from the government and Islamic Affairs Supreme Council. Speaking at the occasion, Mayor Diriba Kuma said Ethiopia – a pluralist nation – has a Constitution that gives religious equality to all. He said that recently the country has embarked upon reconciliation and reform measures aimed at improving living conditions and enhancing national unity. Sheikh Mohammed Sherif, head of the Addis Ababa Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, told the gathering: “This year’s Eid celebration is special as it came at this particular time when the government gave express emphasis to unity after so several years of tensions.” Relative peace prevailed in Ethiopia and people’s hopes revived after the coming to power of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed two months ago, stressing fast-track reforms and reconciliation including the release of political prisoners and Muslims detained on what many call trumped-up charges. Hope springs Renowned author and journalist Zekeriya Mohammed told Anadolu Agency that this year’s Eid celebration — and the holy month of Ramadan before it — is special in more ways than one. “I can say that this year’s Eid al-Fitr is so special in that it is being observed in an atmosphere of ongoing political changes in our country,” he said. “As with the past couple of years, during this year’s Ramadan the Muslim community were passionately praying towards Allah to help the nation sustain this positive development.” He added: “The Ethiopian Muslim community pioneered a peaceful resistance movement against government interference in religious affairs from 2011 to 2014.” “Although the Muslims’ peaceful resistance movement didn’t achieve its desired results in full yet, I believe it certainly inspired the nationwide Oromo protests that followed and which resulted in the present political changes in the country,” he said. He said that although Muslims’ demands had to do with constitutionally enshrined religious rights, community representatives were thrown into jail with false charges of terrorism and other offenses. “Thanks to Allah, the Most Exalted, all the leaders of the movement have now been released after enduring four years of unjust prison terms,” he said. “That has added to the joy of the Muslim community, and all the Muslim community representatives are celebrating Eid al-Fitr with their community for whose cause they made the dearest sacrifices,” he added.

Forces from a Saudi and Emirati led coalition have captured the airport in Yemen’s port city of Hudaida, military officials announced on Twitter. In a post on Saturday, an account associated with the Saudi-alligned Yemeni military said the airport had been “freed from the grip of the Houthi militia” and that de-mining operations were ongoing. Hudaida airport is located just to the south of the city-proper with heavy fighting still ongoing on Hudaida’s southern edges. Houthi sources have not yet confirmed their loss of the airport. Heavy fighting has left at least 39 people dead as of Thursday, including 30 Hourthi rebels, and nine pro-government troops. Rebels have instructed civilians to move away from the outskirts of the city and towards the city centre. Hudaida is home to about 600,000 people and a port responsible for 70 percent of imports into Yemen, raising fears the fighting could ignite a humanitarian catastrophe. The UN Security Council has expressed its “deep concern” over the fighting and UN officials have warned of a risk of famine. Adana Dieng, UN special adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, said the attack on Hudaida could heighten the risk of famine. “The Yemeni port (of Hudaida) is a lifeline for the delivery of aid and the Coalition’s air attacks can kill many more people over time through famine and hunger when damaging such civilian infrastructure,” Dieng said in a statement. More than 22 million people in Yemen are in need of aid, including 8.4 million who are at risk of starvation, according to the UN, which considers Yemen to be the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The UAE will deposit $1bln in Ethiopia’s central bank to ease a severe foreign currency shortage By Aaron Maasho, Reuters News ADDIS ABABA – The United Arab Emirates pledged a total of $3 billion in aid and investments to Ethiopia on Friday, an Ethiopian official said, a major show of support for the new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed. The UAE will deposit $1 billion in Ethiopia’s central bank to ease a severe foreign currency shortage, government spokesman Ahmed Shide told Reuters at a palace in Addis Ababa after Abiy met with Abu Dhabi’s crown prince, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed. No officials from the oil-rich Gulf state briefed journalists, but the UAE and its Gulf allies, in particular Saudi Arabia, regularly give large sums to cooperative governments in the broader region.In 2013, the UAE was one of three Gulf monarchies that pledged a total $12 billion to the new government after the military ousted a president from the Muslim Brotherhood. Abiy, a 41-year-old former intelligence officer, took up his position office in April after three years of unrest that had threatened the EPRDF coalition’s hold on power. The coalition’s choice of Abiy, from an ethnic group that has long been marginalised, signalled its willingness to allow some political reforms, but he has already gone farther and faster than most had expected. Two weeks ago the government said it would sell stakes in its lucrative telecoms monopoly and other assets including the national airline. It also pledged to end a war with long-time enemy Eritrea, offering to implement a peace deal signed in 2000. DAM DISPUTE Last weekend Abiy visited the UAE’s ally, Egypt, and offered a newly conciliatory tone in a long and bitter row over a dam Ethiopia is building on the Nile, which Egypt fears threatens its water supplies. Abiy had travelled to both Abu Dhabi and Riyadh shortly after taking office. Shide said the UAE’s pledges would have a “significant impact” on Ethiopia’s foreign currency shortage. Despite showing the fastest growth in Africa for the past decade, the landlocked country of 100 million people is heavily dependent on imports. A hard currency crunch caused partly by spending on big infrastructure projects has reduced foreign currency reserves to less than one month’s worth of imports, according to analysts’ estimates. Foreign investors and local businesses say all sectors of the economy have been hit. Abiy said in April that the government’s plans to continue expanding its infrastructure and the nascent manufacturing sector meant the currency crisis might last for 15 or 20 years. A Ethiopian foreign ministry official said the other $2 billion from Abu Dhabi would be invested in tourism, renewable energy and agriculture. On Friday afternoon, Abiy got behind the wheel of a white car and personally gave Sheikh Mohamed, the de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates, sitting in the passenger seat, a tour of Addis Ababa. Shide said the crown prince’s delegation included investors interested in real estate and hospitals. Source: zawya

Since Somaliland’s declaration of its autonomous political ambitions in 1991, many Somalilanders and beyond are still confusing or are in a position of different opinions according to; what Somaliland has been achieved since then and also where it is heading? In other words; is Somaliland the right path to realize its longtime dream of statehood since its inception in 1991? Or is it the time to sit and rethink its future deeply? Before we go through approaching these questions; it is more interesting to go back and have a short preview to Somalilands’ political background, chiefly during and post-colonial years. More than eighty years under British rule, Somaliland was a pastoral democratic society, where by a traditional cline system and a modern state affair were rivaling side by side. During these years Somaliland had different ideological political parties, free press, and Westminster like representatives elected from across the country. When Britons achieved Somaliland coastal areas, in late eighteens century, they immediately started to agree with tribal headmen on different locations and occasions chiefly in Berber, and those bilateral agreements created what is called Somaliland British Protectorate until 1960. However; In 1960s the British protectorate becomes among the first nations in Africa, which got their independence from Great Britain, and right away started to unite with the rest of Somalia (Italian Somaliland) to generate greater Somalia, a dream which never realized. Unfortunately this unification was not politically calculated and legally settled, so it became the gridlock of Somalis dream of uniting the Somali people in the region under one flag. Nine years after political ambiguity, corruption and marginalization under New Somali government in Muqadisho, unexpectedly coup d’état took place in 1969, lead by communist party leader M. S. Barre, covering his palms the little hope that all Somalis had to resume their life dream of great Somalia. Mean while, everything went wrong, the brutality, oppression and dictatorial policies outshine. Good or bad, after longtime struggling Somaliland managed to say enough is enough in 1991, and announced its self-declaration, claiming to re-correct one major and historic mistake: going and uniting with Muqadisho. Nevertheless; currently we may find some governments dealing with Somaliland as an independent country, by appointing ambassadorial ranking officers, opening consulate buildings in Hargeisa the capital city, officially welcoming Somaliland delegates on their capitals and reciprocally sending their high diplomats now and then, while also giving an entry visa to persons with Somaliland passports. Besides that, having bilateral economic agreements, like UAE and Ethiopia is another case showing Somaliland’s political positions in the region and a major political decision no one can denies. Yet; we do not have a sole state who deliberately acknowledges the political existence of Somaliland statehood and luckily or unluckily, we are not expecting it rapidly. Though recognition may have different meanings to different people legally, politically, socially and even diplomatically, what is meaning here is the traditional recognition of states in international system (the formal acknowledgement of the status of an independent State by other existing states). Therefore; been recognized is a dynamic approach depends on situational and political aspects of different states, greatly, it is more about a home growing phenomenon, as many scholars believe, including me. It is calculative and coherent national foreign policies, which are stemming from each country’s domestic policies, historical background, legal justification, regional and international stakeholders perspectives, and much more like. So that; we all know the importance of proving the rule of law, accountability, transparency and freedom of expression in the state are very key pillars to attract many other states and international actors. Coming to the point, Somalilanders are all aware of that until now; there is no single country in the world which dares to say Somaliland deserves a formal recognition as a sovereign state. Ethiopia -a neighboring and a sympathetic state- is even reluctant to announce what is in its heart, recognizing Somaliland case openly. Instead of that, Addis Ababa favored its cordial and deliberate quiet diplomacy. On the other side; Ismail O. Gelle’s regime of Djibouti is also using fluid and more personalized policy, which is unclear pattern and outmaneuvering Somaliland foreign policy. Gelle and his government are ready neither to recognize nor to advocate Somaliland recognition, as we learned from last 27 years. Besides the two hesitant neighboring countries, Somalia the metropolitan state, which shares with deep social, historical, economical and political bonds, is not yet prepared that kind of discussions, and not ready to answer the legal and political questions concerning Somaliland future, since it lacks freely elected president like Somaliland (universal suffrage). Many political commentators are saying, Villa Somali is bewildering its local security, peace restoration, and federalization processes, and not equipped and ready to negotiate Somaliland case of separation at the moment. More over; Somalilanders are tired showing off themselves to the big fishes of democracies like US and EU; leave behind their Arab brothers and fellow Africans. Somaliland urgently needs international engagement; to exercise and behave as fully independent state, in order to receive debts, loans, aids, and foreign direct investments, and also to be part a modern globalized trade system, to utilize its strategic location. However; the twenty five plus years, are very long in social and economic wise, but may be very short in political and state building aspects, as history teaches u Mustafe Barud Abdi

Around 44,000 camels and goats died as a result of the tropical cyclone in Awdal region of Somaliland, according to the government. The coordinator of the Somaliland livestock ministry, Dahir Muse Hussein, told Radio Ergo they conducted a survey in Baki and Lughaya and found that most of the livestock died in the heavy downpours and subsequent cold. The coordinator said 37,434 animals died in Baki, which was one of the areas worst hit by the cyclone. Pastoralists in Ruqi, Siimoodi, Baysaarre, Qardhiile, Kaxda, Durdurka-cad and Qotinka villages in Baki all suffered considerable losses. Many of the pastoralist communities affected had migrated with their livestock over the border into Ethiopia’s Somali region to save them from the long drought. They returned with their livestock at the beginning of the ‘Gu rainy season. Mohamed Ahmed Ateeyem, the commissioner of Baki, said around 13,000 pastoralist families lost their livelihoods in the cyclone disaster. Dayib Dahir Amir, in Ruqi village, eight km east of Baki, lost 32 goats and our camels. He has only two camels left. He told Radio Ergo that his family’s lifeline centred on livestock and they are now dependent on relief aid for survival. In Lughaya, especially the western areas, the ministry survey documented the death of 6,559 domestic animals. Some of the carcasses have been buried or burned to contain the spread of disease. However, the ministry coordinator noted that the disposal of animal carcasses has still not begun in some places. Mukhtar Adan Miaad, a livestock specialist in Borama, warned that the unburied carcasses posed a huge risk to human health, as contaminated rain water was draining down in to drinking water catchment areas. He advised the local administrations to deploy bulldozers to assist in the burial exercise. He said the disposal of carcasses should be done a safe distance away from people’s homes. Destitute herders are receiving handouts of food, clothing and plastic shelter from international aid organizations and from Djibouti. The ministry coordinator told Radio Ergo that local people were desperate to have their animals replaced so that they can resume their way of life. The survey has been shared with the Somaliland administration and aid organizations, with a view to catalyzing restocking initiatives and responses. Radio Ergo

By Dr. Hussein Nur Somalia’s relationship with the Soviet Union ruptured abruptly and was brought to a sudden halt during the 1977/78 Somali-Ethiopian. From the champion of ‘Scientific Socialism’ and the arch-enemy of American ‘Imperialism’ in Africa, Barre turned to west especially the USA self-disguised as an actor acting as the prosecuted victim of “International Communism”. In reality, it was only a political gimmick with a ceremonial dance. He was playing a game. The Somali forces were defeated in the war as the Soviets turned sides providing arsenal (more superior than the one he used to give to Somalia) together with an alliance of armed forces from socialist satellite countries (Cuba, South Yemen, Libya etc.). The defeat of the Somali armed forces was one of the chief catalytic factors that encouraged and speeded the rise of liberation struggles by organized dissident groups, firstly by the SSDF (Somali Salvation Democratic Front) and shortly afterward by the SNM (Somali National Movement by the people of the North. At the end of the war, disappointments and differences cropped up with the Barre’s leadership and diplomatic blunders. The existing internal dissent before the war was rekindled and openly surfaced giving rise to the emergence of opposition groups. The formation of the SNM Fourth General Assembly of SNM in 1984 at Jigjiga, Ethiopia For more than three decades, the Somaliland-Somalia foundation of a relationship in the union was shaky and going with less confidence. Northern people finally completely lost trust. The democratic compact got threatened. Meanwhile, Barre leashed persistent campaigns of terror against Somaliland people in North ending with an upsurge of dissent. Disaffection and disenchantment rose on a steeply rising gradient and took an extra dimension. The economic and development disparity between Mogadishu and regions of Somalia and Somaliland, the injustices and extreme discrimination increased and led to form breeding grounds for the rising of armed dissidents resulting from the build-up of tensions in the north. As part of that repression and direct discriminations of the northerners, a wholesale sacking of 75 top civil servants in government top portfolios and offices (Osman Ahmed Hassan, Omer Meygag Samatar, Hassan Meygag Samatar, Hassan Aden Wadadiid, Abdi Haybe, Said Abdillahi Hinig, Sheikh Yusuf Sheikh Ali Sheikh Madar, Ismail Hurre (Buba) few among others) was made by Barre in a single day. That formed another main catalytic factor for dissidence formation. Licences and Letters of credit were withdrawn from the northern merchants such Mohamed Hassan Dalab (aka ina Hassan Dalab) as far as I remember. In sum, the end product was a loss of loyalty for the government in the north which eventually escalated to an open dissent and preparations for the formation of a political movement. SNM members in 1983 Secret talks were organised between northerners in the military force (Mohamed Hashi Lixle was the coordinator) with top government members (dissented Somali Revolutionary Council (SRC) and politburo members and high ranking government officers of northern origin such as Ismail Ali Abokor, Omer Arteh Ghalib, Jama Mohamed Ghalib, Suleiman Mohamed Aden, Dahir Warsame, Osman Ali Jama (Osman Kalun), Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Sillanyo (president of Somaliland between 2010 to 2017), and intellectuals (Suleiman Nuh, Abdi Ismail Duse and others). Mohamed Kahin Ahmed, a military colonel, provided a detailed account of the dynamics of the preparation and internal movements for the formation of the Somali National Movement opposition (as reported elsewhere I a forthcoming book – The Rebirth of Somaliland). The formation of the SNM as an opposition force developed in stages. By the early 1970s, there was already an underground network but still not structured as an organization. The politicians and officers from the armed forces, high ranking government civil servants and the intellectuals used to meet up covertly and furtively. Similarly, secret activities were being conducted in the diaspora especially in the Gulf region, Europe, and North America. The different groups were intimately linked together. In Saudi Arabia, they were Hassan Aden Wadadid, Abdisalan Yasin, Mohamed Hashi Elmi and Ahmed Ismail Abdi (Duqsi) as the vanguard group. The group visited London to discuss with the UK-based intellectuals including Hassan Essa Jama, Abdirahman Abdulqadir, Ibrahim Sh. Muse Ahmed, Aden Warsame Said, Ibrahim Ali Weyrah, Abdillahi Ahmed Guleid and others. The Middle East group, especially the Saudi Arabia group, suggested the production of an opposition journal in the diaspora in London. However, that was not possible. In the second visit to London by the same group plans to launch an opposition organization in Britain was agreed as the requisite for an opposition organization became imminent. That subsequently led to the formation of the SNM opposition which was officially launched on 6th April 1981 in London. Ahmed Mohamed Gulaid and Ahmed Ismail Abdi (Duqsi) were elected as the Chairman and Secretary of the movement respectively. Soon afterward there was a need for establishing a military wing to carry an armed struggle and liberation. Soon afterward, the SNM Office in London became the organization’s Headquarters and subsidiary offices were opened in other parts of the world across Europe and North America (Washington D.C, the USA headed by late Ibrahim Meygag Samatar) and throughout the UK (Cardiff, Sheffield, Liverpool, and Manchester) and Europe. From left Abdillahi Askar, Ismail Daud Egal and Mohamed Hashi ‘Lihle The people who were the force behind the formation of the SNM are divided into categories. One, a group was already out of the country. This group consisted of ex-civil servants, politicians etc. who left the country, many of whom in the Gulf countries, Europe and North America. Two, a strong group was inside the country consisting of politicians, intellectuals, government officers and civil servants, businessmen etc. in Mogadishu and in the North. However, there was a third component. That was the first armed organized group, an already armed militia group called AFRAAD, led by Mohamed Ali Farah and his friend Mohamed Ali Nur. They were both highly trained military officers and tacticians trained in Syria and with an experience of guerrilla warfare. They both trained with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Lebanon. Most of the military officers of northern origin were stationed in the North and Central regions. An important sub-group who provided support and working with the inside group was the business people, traders and merchants and the public who generously financed all activities. There were internal coordinators for the SNM inside the country (Colonels Mohamed Hashi ‘Lihle and Ahmed Mohamed Hala’) between the high ranking government civil servants and officials including Ministers and intellectuals such as Abdi Ismail Duse and Suleiman Nuh and Dr. Mohamed Ismail Abdi (Diktorka). The AFRAAD militia members were recruited from the local areas. It was a highly trained armed militia group initially incorporated with the WSLF sponsored by the Somali government to fight Ethiopia. AFRAAD had long-standing differences with the WSLF. It took part in the 1977/78 war with high performance. AFRAAD, being consisted of fighters of northern origin, broke away from the WSLF. Mohamed Ali and his militia became independent group fighting for the rights of the local people of northern origin. They camped at a tree named as the ‘Mohamed Ali Tree’ (between Geedbladh and Tog-Wajale) by the border with Ethiopia though moved later to a place called ‘Siyaarada’ on the Ethiopian side of the border. In the North, there was an important sub-group, the students in schools who dared later to conduct persistent open public protests using stone throwing, intifada style. In early 1982 in Mogadishu, the SNM decided to secretly support 8 officers from the national army and help them to defect to join the SNM in Ethiopia. The first wave five military officers made the defection (from the Somali army) successfully. In January 1982, the first two officers who defected were Colonels Aden Sheikh Mohamed (Aden Shine) and Ahmed Dahir Nur (Ahmed Dhagax). While on holidays, they managed to cross the border to Ethiopia at a place known as ‘Qudhaca’ to join the SNM in Ethiopia. In February 1982 Colonel Mohamed Kahin Ahmed (the current Minister of Interior of Somaliland) defected after them. He was successfully followed by a wave of officers in different time frames. Immediately after Mohamed Kahin, three other colonels joined us in Ethiopia. They were the three Adams: Adam Musa Jibril, Adam Suleiman, and Adam Mohamed Samakab. Within a short period, groups of high ranking officers from inside and abroad and ex-civil servant civilians living in the diaspora (especially the Middle East) joined us in Ethiopia as delegates for an SNM conference from different parts of the world. From London came the first Executive Committee members of the SNM (Ahmed Ismail Duqsi who was the Acting Chair and Secretary at the time, Hassan Essa Jama, and others), others from the Arabian Gulf countries, Egypt (Cairo) etc. Among the high ranking officers who joined us were: Abdulqadir Kosar, Ali Ismail (Ali Hayan), Abdi Ibrahim (Jaalladiid) from Qatar; Musa Nadif, Madaxdiid, Abdillahi Abdi Obsiye (Uddo), Dayib Gurey, Musa Bihi Abdi, Abdillahi Hussein ‘Dhegaweyne’, Abokor Ismail Hassan Mattaan (Abokor Shadh-yare), Shakib Suldan Abdulqadir, Gacmadheere, Salebaan pilot, Ismail Aden Filiste, Tarandad, Mohamed Mirre, Hussein Dheere, Abdirahman Huunsho, Mohamed Ali Farah Food, Hassan Selim, Abdisamed, Abdillahi Askar and many others. Most of them were in Mogadishu for transfers from the North by the Division Commander of the North, General Mohamed Gani as suspects for defections. The SNM first conference at Nazaret, near Addis Ababa. The civilians who attended were from Saudi Arabia. Hassan Adan Wadadid, Mohamed Hashi Elmi, Osman Ahmed Hassan, Hassan Khalif, Ahmed Kayse (from Jedda) and Zaki Ahmed, Mohamed Yussuf Adde and Abdisalan Yasin (from Riyadh). Intellectuals like Mohamed Warsame Hadrawi, Rashid Abdillahi (Gadhweyne), Mohamed Hashi Dhama (Gariye), Farah Ali Gamute, Yasin Nur, Gariye, Abdirahman Yusuf Duale (Boobe) and Mohamed Jama also attended. Soon afterward a wave of intellectuals arrived from the inside the country. Dr. Mohamed Ismail Abdi (Diktorka was one of them. The first military officers joined from the diaspora included Abdulqadir Kosar (from Qadar), Musa Bihi (the current president) from the USA, Ali Hayan and others. The first batch of commando training school was established at Babuli by Colonel Ahmed Mire. The military wing was finally in form. Operations started soon after recruitments and short training and refresher courses for the fighters. To be continued

In the last few years we have witnessed perpetual conflict between two major tribes in the El Afwayn, Sanaag region of Somaliland. The conflict particularly intensified in the last couple of months where there has been serious bloodshed in both sides. El Afwayn is a district in the Sanaag region of East Somaliland which borders with Puntland. During the previous Somaliland administration, the government succeeded in reaching a peace deal between the two tribes at war in the region. The details of the peace deal included the two tribes having fair access to land, water and pasture areas with an emphasis that no tribe can claim the region over the other. The deal also stipulated that no new settlements could be created for each tribes own use. As such, the people of these tribes are to live side by side in peace in the established villages, towns, and cities in the region. Additionally, each tribe are to pay blood money to the other side and any injured people are to receive compensation. These agreement were widely successful and had the backing of the two major tribes in the region. Part of the agreement also entailed a bond between the two tribes that if it is broken there would be heavy fine for the tribe that initiates any war or fighting. Nonetheless, the peace deal agreement was yet broken again after the fighting resumed between the two tribes in March 2018. The new Somaliland administration set out to reach another peace agreement between the two tribes however the governments involvement has turned the fighting into a new direction. In a short period of time, while Muse Bihi has been a president in Somaliland, the fighting in El Afwayn has reoccurred at least two times. It is widely believed that the reason for the reoccurring of the fighting in El Afwayn is that the Somaliland government fails to prioritise the issues in the region. Moreover, some have argued that President Bihi is using the fighting in El Afwayn as a political gain in order to divert the public attention from the division that his election brought upon the country. Fuel was added to the fire after President Bihi’s administration failed to equally allocate governmental positions( i.e. region governor, deputy governor, mayor and deputy mayor) between the two major tribes in Sanaag. Since the last fighting there has also been a major incident where an army officer defected from the national army to form his own gorilla army in the Sanaag region. President Bihi’s government have made little effort to capture this officer who is a security threat to the region. In fact, it is public knowledge that the defected officer is further being supported by the mayor and deputy police commissioner of the region. The political climate in the region has been further made worse by tribal leaders seeking military support from neighbouring Puntland. As a result, the lack of government role in the issues of Sanaag could spiral out of control and lead to the region turning into a war-zone. by : Ahmed A B Ibraahim LLM International Law, BA Business Administration
