Ethiopia’s ruling coalition is due to meet soon to choose its next leader. That person will automatically become the prime minister. They will be taking on the role at a time of bitter internal wrangles and violent protests. Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn announced on 15 February that he would resign as both the chairperson of Ethiopia’s ruling coalition EPRDF and as prime minister – a position he had held since 2012. So that leaves the 180-strong EPRDF council to choose the next prime minister. The coalition is complex. EPRDF is made up of four ethnically based political parties: the Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM); the Oromo People’s Democratic Organisation (OPDO); the Southern Ethiopian People’s Democratic Movement (SEPDM) and the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). While the ANDM and OPDO have roots in Oromia and Amhara regions, which together account for more than half of Ethiopia’s population, it is the minority TPLF from Tigray region that controls the military and security apparatus and is seen as the dominant party in the coalition. Bitter internal wrangles within the ruling coalition have however made it difficult to predict just who will become the next prime minister. To make matters worse, the government failed to quell anger when it declared a state of emergency. Demonstrators in the west defied a ban on protests and marches became violent. The coalition, which has been in power since 1991 after toppling the communist regime, is at a crossroads. The bitter infighting is between reformists who feel the country is headed the wrong way and conservatives keen on maintaining the status quo and the grip on power. Here’s a run down of the top seven contenders for prime minister. From left to right: Abiy Ahmed, Debretsion Gebremichael, Lema Mergessa, Workneh Gebeyehu, Demeke Mekonnen 1. Lemma Magersa He is the current President of the Oromia Regional State and deputy leader of the OPDO. The charismatic Mr Lemma is seen as a fearless and eloquent reformer. He was once quoted as saying he was ready to go out and join demonstrators if the government did not heed the demands of protesters especially from his region. The 47-year-old was born and raised in East Welega, Oromia. Last December he condemned the killings of protesters and the federal security forces’ intervention in the Oromia region without his region’s consent. He has also offered to hold dialogue with opposition groups. He is deemed as an acceptable candidate who can unify the country but his path to the top seat is complicated. He’s not a member of the federal parliament, the House of People’s Representatives, a requirement to become prime minister. Last December, a cartoon depicting Mr Lemma as the biblical Moses parting the Red Sea was widely shared on social media, showing just how his popularity “as a man with answers to the country’s problems” had soared. Despite his meteoric rise within the ruling party and Ethiopia’s complex politics, his critics believe he is too inexperienced to take on the intricacies of the EPRDF. 2. Abiy Ahmed The current leader of the OPDO, Mr Abiy, is seen as the front-runner in the race to succeed the outgoing prime minister having just been elected to head the party. He is an astute politician with impressive academic and military credentials. He was born in the city of Agaro in Oromia and comes from a mixed Christian-Muslim family. The 42-year-old joined the OPDO in the late 1980s. He has served in the military and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He also took part in the UN peacekeeping mission to Rwanda. He was the founder and director of the country’s Internet Security Agency between 2009 and 2012 after which he became the minister for science and technology. He is seen by many as outspoken and competent and a person who leans to a participatory leadership style. Mr Abiy is younger than the other potential leaders and is believed to have huge support among the Oromo youth as well as other ethnic groups. His critics however say that as an EPRDF insider, he won’t offer much of the change demanded by protesters. 3. Debretsion G Michael Mr Debretsion was born in Shire, located in the northern Tigray region. He dropped out of his studies at the University of Addis Ababa to join the armed struggle. During this time he travelled to Italy where he completed training in communications technology. After which he established the regional TPLF radio station known as “Dimtsi Weyane”. Soon after the EPRDF came into power in 1991, Mr Debretsion served as the deputy to the head of the intelligence bureau. He has been serving as the Director of the Information and Communication Development Agency since 2006 but also served as a deputy prime minister. He is the chairperson of the TPLF party and the deputy head of state for the Tigray region as well as the minister for information and communications. Activists and opposition political parties argue that the TPLF dominates the political power in the coalition, so his election as prime minster would be a controversial move that would be likely to deepen divisions within the coalition and further inflame feelings of exclusion among the Oromo and Amhara communities. Mr Debretsion is a member of the House of People’s Representatives. 4. Demeke Mekonen He is the current deputy prime minister. He joined the EPRDF after university and a few years later became a member of the Amhara region council. During the mid-2000s he became the deputy chief of the Amhara regional state and a year later became a member of the ANDM executive committee. While on duty as chair of the ANDM, in 2013, he was appointed the deputy chair of the EPRDF. Prior to coming to power, Mr Demeke was a teacher and served as the education minister. Mr Demeke, who is a member of the House of People’s Representatives, is known to be a low-key player in the federal government. It is unlikely the ANDM will take the prime minister’s position as the party has held the deputy prime minister position for so long.

Workneh Gebeyehu He is a member of OPDO and is the current foreign affairs minister. Born in the late 1960s, Mr Workneh has served for many years as the commissioner for the federal police commission. In the late 2000s he was appointed as transport minister, a position he held for four years. A member of the OPDO since the late 1980s, Mr Workneh has since the late 2000s served as a member of the executive committee for both the OPDO and EPRDF. He is a member of the Addis Ababa city administration council but not a member of the House of People’s Representatives. 6. Siraj Fegessa Ethiopia’s current defence minister has been the face of the state of emergencies announced in October 2016 and again in February 2018. He has constantly appeared on state media articulating the conditions imposed by the state of emergency. The sharply dressed but straight-faced politician is seen as one of the least favourite to become the new prime minister. He is a member of the SEPDM, the same party as the recently resigned prime minister and has just been announced as its deputy leader, further complicating his ascendancy to power. Some analysts say his party might argue that Mr Hailemariam never finished his term and therefore might suggest that Mr Siraj or someone from within SEPDM for the premiership. This is however highly unlikely. 7. Shiferaw Shigute He is currently working with the secretariat of the EPRDF, previously he was the minister of education, and president of the southern Ethiopia regional state. Mr Shiferaw is the newly elected chairman of the SEPDM replacing the recently resigned prime minister who was also the chairman of the party. Born in Haroressa, in the southern Ethiopia region, Shiferaw was a teacher before joining politics. When the outgoing prime minister was still the region’s president, Mr Shiferaw was deputy president of the southern Ethiopia regional state government. When Mr Hailemariam became deputy prime minister and foreign minister under the late Meles Zenawi’s administration, Mr Shiferaw assumed the presidency of the region. Some people say his election as the chairman of the SEPDM was intended to enhance his chances of becoming prime minister. Mr Shiferaw is a member of the federal parliament from which the prime minister will be elected.

The Ministry of Security refuted reports claiming the parliament building was forcibly taken over by forces loyal to the executive. The initial report by Somali parliament, speaker, Mohamed Osman Jawari accused the prime minister, Hassan Ali Kheire of spearheading the raid on Lower House. Speaking to the media, Somali state minister of Security, Hassan Moalim Hussein said the forces were sent to secure the parliament. “We are the ones who asked the police chief to send soldiers to reinforce the soldiers who were guarding the parliament and he accepted our request, our responsibility is to secure the Parliament,” said Hussein. For his part, the chief of the police, Bashir Abdi Mohamed said the soldiers dispatched will maintain the stability of the House as the row within parliament members is escalating. Mohamed vehemently distanced the police forces from the blame laid by the House Speaker, Mohamed Osman Jawari, saying the law enforcement is established to serve the public not individuals. Jawari who spoke to the media last night accused the government of sending forces to take over the parliament. The political crisis has been escalating since early this week when dozens of Somali lawmakers submitted motion against the speaker. On Wednesday, the Parliament General Secretary, Abdihakim Haji Abdi Buh announced the motion against Jawari was dropped after it failed to get the required quorum.

Unidentified gunmen on Saturday killed a well known traditional elder in the Somali capital Mogadishu. Family members who confirmed the attack told Hiiraan Online that Ahmed Abdulle Jim’ale was hit by several gunshots fired by unknown gunmen. Jim’ale was taken to Erdogan Hospital in Mogadishu where he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. The assailants managed to escape from the crime scene. The security officials arrived at the scene shortly after the murder and could not apprehend the killers. Al-Shabab which carries out attacks against government officials, elders and other civil servants has reputedly claimed the responsibility for the attack. The group killed dozens of traditional elders who played a pivotal role in forming Somali parliament and the government.

BETWEEN STONE AND A HARD PLACE By Tamrat G. Giorgis Before a last minute change of schedule, a high-level delegation led by Worqneh Gebeyehu (PhD), foreign affairs minister, was to leave for Djibouti on Saturday, hoping to reassure senior officials there that the deal with Somaliland over the Port of Berbera would not affect the “treasured” relationship between the two countries. Senior government officials in Djibouti are reportedly displeased with the timing of the deal Ethiopia made with Somaliland and DP World, a Dubai based multinational company, to jointly develop the Port of Berbera, south of Djibouti. Negotiated by a team lead by Mekonnen Abera, director of Ethiopia’s Maritime Authority, the deal was made two weeks ago in Dubai, with officials from the Ministry of Transport. Gezae Abera, a retired army general now retained as a consultant by the government, was also involved during the negotiation, according to people familiar with the deal. It is a deal that pits Ethiopia with its immediate neighbours east and south, putting it in a classic position of between stone and a hard place. A memorandum of understanding was signed over a year ago with Ethiopia agreeing to take a 19pc share in the newly developed port, while Somaliland retains 30pc and DP World the remaining majority share. In 2016, Somaliland’s parliament accepted the tripartite deal, allowing the port operator to invest over 440 million dollars in redeveloping Berbera Port. It was first opened in 1968, and historically served as a naval and missile base for the government of Somalia after independence. It had changed hands between the Soviet Union and the United States during the cold war years. Since the early 2000s, the United Nations has been using the port to import food aid to help Ethiopia and other countries in the region, the former country using it occasionally for the imports of general cargo. But, Berbera does not have the capacity to encourage the use of large commercial and containerised cargo. Its waters are shallow to anchor large vessels, according to maritime experts. The road between the port and Ethiopia`s border town, Togochale, was built in 1972, with financial aid from the European Union (EU); it is now in poor condition. For Ethiopian authorities, who are very keen on exploring alternative ways to access the sea than being entirely dependent on Djibouti, the development of the Port of Berbera has a strategic value, according to a senior official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Concerns are lurking, though, over the response from Djibouti, whose ports handle Ethiopia`s imports and exports, which comprise close to 70pc of the cargo it services. DP World being involved in the development project of Berbera has not helped to ease the growing tensions with Djibouti, nor has the time that the deal was signed, an event that gives discomfort to Djibouti’s authorities, although Ethiopia`s officials urged it was a sheer coincidence. The agreement between the three parties was signed only two days after authorities in Djibouti seized a container terminal in Doraleh, developed in 2006 by DP World, which owns 33pc of the shares after it had signed a concession agreement to build and operate the port. However, disagreement over the fairness of the concession agreement led Djibouti to seek redress from an international arbiter and courts in London. Its leaders allege that the concession agreement was “corrupt” and disadvantages its national interest for it gives board governance and a managerial and operational mandate to a minority shareholder. “This leonine concession agreement contains provisions as to dispossessing the majority shareholdings of the Djibouti State and its prerogative,” reads a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & International Cooperation. Failing to obtain a ruling in its favour, Djibouti’s President, Ismail O. Guelleh, passed a decree to make the contract “null and void” by February 22, 2018, provided that DP World disagrees to renegotiate the terms up until February 21. A meeting in Dubai between the two parties, held on January 28, could not help overcome the stalemate. Djibouti took steps to “restore” its rights over the national asset and immediately kicked out DP World’s senior staff from its territory late last month. It was a move characterised by DP World as an “illegal termination and expropriation” in breach of the agreement it signed. “We consider the law, the attempt of the government to enforce its terms, the purported termination and expropriation to be in breach of the government’s obligations under its agreements with us, in force since 2004, and international law,” a DP World statement said. “To protect our interests, we have been compelled to commence a new arbitration against the Government in London, seeking a declaration that the contracts are valid and binding on the Government and to obtain urgent interim relief.” DP World first went to Djibouti in the early 2000s, after agreeing to manage the Port of Djibouti under a 20-year concession agreement. A dissident businessman, Abdurahman Boureh, the chairman of the Djibouti Ports & Free Zones Authority (DPFZA), was instrumental in persuading the emirs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to look west for expansion. Following this, their companies commenced in building and operating the largest and most luxurious hotel in Djibouti, Kempinski Djibouti, built on the shores of the Red Sea. Through the years, the company partnered with the government there in developing Horizon Oil and Doraleh Container terminals, spending over half a billion dollars in foreign direct investment. Djibouti had contributed 88 million dollars in equity and DP World the remaining 44 million dollars, although sources in Djibouti say that the latter sum was raised from a management fee the company had collected for managing the old Port of Djibouti. “The terminal is the largest employer and biggest source of revenue in the country, and has operated at a profit every year since it opened,” DP World said. Djibouti does not see it that way. The concession agreement is in fact viewed as a document that stripped the country of its sovereignty, for it restricts Djibouti from building any port without the express permission of DP World, according to Aboubaker O. Hadi, chairman of DPFZA. “The terms with DP World were worse,” Aboubaker told Fortune in a telephone interview late last week. “How can a private company dictate its terms on the very sovereignty of an independent nation?” Signed for 50 years, the 400-page document was considered by some of the authorities in Djibouti as a “mistake” the country is struggling to overcome while losing court battles due to what Aboubaker described as the “white man`s justice”, rulings that he sees as biased against Africans. A bitter fight, however, began between the government of Djibouti and Boureh in the late 2000s, which created a cleavage between Dubai and Djibouti. But geopolitics in the Middle East since 2015 has changed almost everything. The contending parties of the Saudi-led coalition and the Iran-led alliance were desperate in bringing countries of the region to their respective sides. Sudan and Somalia gave their support to the Turkey-Iran-Qatar alliance; Egypt and Eritrea moved to help the alliance between Saudi and UAE; however, Djibouti declined to cooperate with the UAE’s request to launch fighter jets bombarding positions held by Houthi rebels in Yemen. Djibouti had waged a series of court battles against both Boureh and DP World in the United Kingdom with hardly any success. The emirs in Dubai, again persuaded by Boureh, had announced their decision to develop Berbera, thereby poking Djibouti in the face. Djibouti was able to handle 150,000 twenty-feet equivalent units (TEU) containers before a massive investment was made in developing a brand new terminal. The hope was that the expansion would position it to handle over 1.6 million TEUs a year, a volume of cargo much larger than Ethiopia’s 250,000, Djibouti`s 50,000 and Somaliland`s 20,000 TEUs. The idea was to reposition Djibouti as a hub for transshipment, competing with other ports in the region such as Aden (Yemen), Salalah (Oman), Sokhna (Egypt), Jeddah (Saudi) and Jebel Ali (UAE). The latter three are managed by DP World. “The transshipment didn`t happen,” said Aboubaker. “It was diverted to Jebel Ali and Jeddah.” A veteran of the maritime sector, Aboubaker believes that DP World was in Djibouti to make it a captive and redirect volume mainly to its home base in Jebal Ali. “Africa’s volume is too small to impress them,” he said. “The fight is over transshipment.” Divorcing with DP World, and further court battles hanging over its head, Djibouti has entered into a deal with the Pacific International Lines (PIL), a Singapore-based maritime company, to get transshipment cargo. Aboubaker foresees that the deal will bring Djibouti as high as 350,000 TEUs, boosting traffic by 33pc. Ethiopia’s agreement to get involved in developing Berbera Port as a shareholder was a grape too sour for Djibouti to swallow. “They tell us we have stabbed them in the back,” a person involved in Ethiopia-Djibouti affairs for over two decades told Fortune. Aboubaker believes it is legitimate and understandable for a landlocked country such as Ethiopia to look for alternative ports in the region. Moreover, he believes that his country’s actions to develop its ports for the transshipment business are just as justified. “But we wish them [Ethiopia] well,” said Aboubaker. It appears that Worqneh`s message to the Djibouti authorities would have been the same as that given by Aboubaker, according to Ethiopian authorities. He would have tried to reassure the authorities there that Djibouti remains “central to Ethiopia’s access to the sea” regardless, for Ethiopia has invested over 15 billion dollars in developing infrastructure on the corridor, according to a senior diplomat familiar with the issue. “The joint venture was made at the request of Somaliland and has been in discussion for over a year,” said this diplomat. It is a statement confirmed by the highest authority in the Somaliland government. Muse Bihi Abdi, president of Somaliland, made a statement last week affirming that the agreement is “nothing new,” but an extension to an earlier deal between Somaliland and DP World which was approved by the Parliament in his country. Experts in the industry view the involvement of the government in the deal as unwise. “It could have been better had they made the deal through a state-owned company, keeping the whole issue as commercial as it can get,” said the maritime expert. But Ethiopian authorities argue that the agreement on the Berbera port has little to do with recognising the sovereignty of a country and is only aimed at advancing the commercial interests of the most significant nation, with the largest population and the biggest economy, in the region. Neither were the Somalians down south convinced by Ethiopia’s statements on its involvement in Berbera’s development. They see it as an incursion on their territorial integrity. Having a tense relationship with the sultanates in the UAE, Mogadishu views the tripartite agreement with suspicion, and declared it “null and void”. Beginning in June 2017, the relation between Mogadishu and Dubai became rough after the leaders of the former refused to cooperate with the Saudi-led alliance that levied a blockade on Qatar; Qatar was accused of funding terrorism in the region. Before it shifted its allegiance back to the Saudi-UAE camp, Somalia had first supported Qatar, raising fury from the country’s wealthiest former supporters. The deal must have been endorsed by and consulted with the federal government of Somalia, Hassan Ali, its prime minister, told The National, a Dubai based English daily. Somalia is now preparing to petition the Arab League in seeking its support against the tripartite agreement, diplomatic sources disclosed. Pundits see Somalia’s recent objection over DP World`s involvement, described by an Ethiopian diplomat as “measured in its statement”, as possibly putting it back on a collision course with the emirs. Despite the strong objection from Somalia and reservation from Djibouti, Ethiopian authorities – operating both at the highest and operation levels – hope that the deal will not affect the relationship with Djibouti, a country they value the most in the region. “Were there for Ethiopia when it was trying times for its people,” Aboubaker told Fortune. He was referring to the late 1990s, when Eritrea had blocked access to the sea and Ethiopia suddenly flooded Djibouti with cargo, all the while going through a bloody war with its northern neighbour. Overnight, Djibouti had to process Ethiopia`s entire import and export cargo, while it was little prepared to do so. UPDATE: This story was updated from its original version, incorporating a correction that Gezae Abera, a retired general, was a lead negotiator. He was not.

We are all aware that Horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden has become an athletic field of foreign powers. We can describe that the region has become a military garrison. Republic of Djibouti hosted military bases and facilities for France, USA, Germany, Japan, and Saudi Arabia; also China more recently established its first overseas military base in Djibouti. Likewise Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE have military bases in Eritrea. Turkey established military bases in Qatar and Somalia. Recently Somaliland previous government hosted UAE to establish a military base in our dear port –Berbera. Turkey also signed an agreement with Sudan that granted the right to construct a military base and Naval dock in Port Suakin- a ruined Ottoman old Port. Besides the military raises competition of the world superpowers that existed in the Horn; the less than one year-Gulf crisis and competition for influence between Gulf States stretched beyond the Arab peninsula in to the Horn. The Horn region is now becoming a Gulf states battlefield; and a theatre for the fierce rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran; a sectarian struggle between Sunni and Shiite Muslims. These together played an increasingly influential role in the Horn’s geopolitics; and are potentially fuelling the region’s internal political unrest; by placing the fragile peace arrangements in the Horn at risk. For example, when recently Sudan granted for Turkey to construct a military base in its port in the red sea; Egypt responded and sent troops to Eretria; and Sudan immediately closed its borders with Eritrea. The war in our next door country-Yemen, with the conflict between the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s weak government and Houthi-rebels supported by Iran is intensifying. However Somaliland lies in a strategic region that interfaces the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden across the strategic Bab-al-Mandab Strait, the Red sea and Horn of Africa. This strategic region is more important for the trade and security of both Somaliland and the countries that lie in this region. That is why the UAE is projecting itself as a regional military power in the war in Yemen, eager to establish foreign military bases in the region’s ports; and specially to use Berbera port as aircrafts takeoff offensive base for the bombardments on the Houthis. While DP World has been acquiring the management of Berbera port; achieving both an economic and military interrelated strategy gains. The agreement of signing a military base for one of the factions warring in Yemen has inevitable security risks for Somaliland. Deliberately being part of the conflict in the region is a blind and suicidal decision. Already the first political quarrel deepened this week when Somaliland, DP world and Ethiopia signed a tripartite Berbera Port deal that worsened the spat between Somalia and Somaliland. This provides us an incentive example to understand and take a closer look to the unpredictable consequences of mingling with these political and military rivalries in the region. And more political and security risks will be ahead of us if Somaliland hosts a foreign power military base in Berbera. So, the Policy makers of Somaliland should pursue a realistic interest-seeking political strategy; and stop putting the country on fire in exchange for dollars. Bihi’s government must reverse the decision of the previous government of hosting a foreign military base in Berbera. He should prevent this little unrecognized state from the potential risks and complications that a foreign army base comes with. In one way or another, the militarization competition of our geostrategic region (the Horn and the Gulf) has political and economic opportunity implications for Somaliland. Despite these opportunities, to mingle with the conflict, moved among and engaged with one of the warring groups; by providing a military base will have security and political risks for the country. Accordingly, since the advent of competing foreign powers in the Horn of Africa and the Gulf is both an opportunity and risk for Somaliland as an unrecognized country, there is a need for well designed, rational and assertive foreign policy aimed at utilizing the economic, social and political opportunities; while minimizing the many angled risks surrounding these opportunities. This double edged situation (opportunity and risk) will be determined by the accuracy of the diplomatic effort and policy reorientation that president Bihi’s government takes. “Opportunities and risks make a combustible mix; if you don’t get the right formula, it can blow up in your face.” dam Ali Younis Email: aayonis@hotmail.com Source: Qaran News
