Press statement Somaliland Lawyers Association (SOLLA) strongly condemns the arrest of lawyer Abdirisaq Ismail Hassan who was brought before a military court. Abdirisaq, who is a member of the Somaliland Lawyers Association, arrested on 17th February 2018,was brought before a military court which remanded him into custody. The arrest of Abdirisaq is clearly contrary to article 20(2) of the Advocates Act (Law No.30/2004) which gives the lawyers immunity from arrests unless they are caught in the act of committing a crime or the immunity is deprived by the Lawyers Licensing Commission. None of these two conditions were met in this case. As stated in article 104 of the Constitution of Somaliland, the military courts have no jurisdiction over a civilian person. The Association condemns bringing a lawyer before a military court which is a clear violation of the constitution and the democratic system of Somaliland. The Association calls on the government of Somaliland to immediately release Abdirisaq who is licensed lawyer and to stop the military court in interfering matters involved civilian people or to hear a case against a civilian person. The Association is very concerned about recent detentions of journalists and other people who have been arrested in Somaliland for freedom of expression. Their arrests violate article 32(1) of the constitution of Somaliland which guarantees freedom of expression and prohibits suppression of journalists and other people for the expression of their opinion. The Association calls on the government to release all the people arrested for expression their opinion and to protect the constitution and democracy of the country. Jamaal Huseen Ahmed (Mandeela).

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – The U.S. embassy in Ethiopia said on Saturday it disagreed with the government’s decision to impose a state of emergency to calm potential unrest the day after the prime minister’s surprise resignation. “We strongly disagree with the Ethiopian government’s decision to impose a state of emergency that includes restrictions on fundamental rights such as assembly and expression,” the statement said. “We recognise and share concerns expressed by the government about incidents of violence and loss of life, but firmly believe that the answer is greater freedom, not less,” it said.

Saturday, February 17, 2018 By Faisal Roble On February 8, 2017, Somalia witnessed a soft revolution led by Mohamed A. Farmajo, and subsequent euphoric waves following his victory were felt throughout the entire Somali speaking world. An underdog candidate, Farmajo won the 2017 presidential election by a substantial margin and defeated hands down the well-oiled incumbent at the time, former president Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud. Somalis felt that night as if hope arrived within their reach. President Farmaajo (left) with former President Hassan Where are we a year later? As we all reflect on past year’s challenges and gains, objectivity is a must. Real tangible policy programs are often impossible to realize within one year. Because of that reason, I rather highlight some high level issues that had captured the imaginations of the nation (positive and negative) that represent gains and losses. I will conclude with short remarks on a way forward. On that eventful evening of February 8, 2017, electing Farmajo was akin to a soft revolution; that revolution is in many ways similar to the revolution of Salvatore Allende in Chile. Allende was a popular president of a unity government, but went to office without an organized cadre, thus making possible for the US-supported military anti-Allende Coup d’état in 1973. Similarly, Farmajo won popularly but entered Villa Somalia without his own organized cadre, thus making impossible to implement his vision right away. On assuming power, Farmajo put together an administration dominated by three groups: those who served in the previous administration, a very small group called “Isbedell-doon” (or pro-change individuals), and a bunch of incompetent ministers who came by way of the notorious 4.5 system. In the end, a disheveled and one of the largest cabinets in the history of Africa was seated. In less than a year, most of “Isbedel-doon” ministers were dismissed by the Prime Minister. Farmajo was expected to be a transformational leader for he had a huge political capital. Many Somalis are asking whether he lived up to his expectations, or came short of managing the huge expectations created at campaign rallies. Just consider how some of his predecessors within the Somali landscape pivoted to articulating transformational issues. The late Mohamed Siyyad Barre took the bull by the horn when he declared the equality of man and women in Somalia only 18 months into his rule. Also, Mohamed Haji Ibrahim Igal pivoted and undermined radical elements in SNM when he declared in Hargeisa that to be “Faqash” is not a clan identity, but an association with a regime that hurt the nation. He said this while Ahmed Silanyo, a former minister of the military regime who recycled himself as a clan radical, was standing behind him. That day marked the beginning of the end of SNM. To bring the matter to current era, on February 9, 2018, Musse Bihi of Somaliland banned the anti-women crime of Female Gentile Mutilation (FGM). All these moves are transformational public policies in defiance of reactionary forces. Farmajo has yet to pivot and discard his recluse maverick nature that characterized his leadership for the last one year. Mistakes Fiddling with the Somali vision: Arresting and handing over Qalbidhagax to Ethiopia was a huge political mistake committed by the administration. The founding fathers established a vision for what it is to be a Somali. Grew out of a long struggle that has been waged by Somalis to establish their own nationhood in the Horn of Africa, Mogadishu became the cradle of that vision. The kidnapping and subsequent illegal transfer of a former Somali army member to Ethiopia is a violation of the essence of the Somali existential philosophy. It is also a violation of international law per 1958 Geneva Convention. The false accusation of Qlabidhagax as a member of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) and a terrorist by NISA is a breach to the Somali national contract. We recall that in September, 2017, chaired by the PM, the cabinet took a position that handing over the prisoner was “right” and “ONLF is a terrorist collaborator with Al-shabab.” On the contrary, answering on February 9, 2018 to a question put to him by a BBC reporter – which the Somali parliament as the highest legislative body ruled on the matter – the president distanced himself from the Qalbidhagax decision and indirectly indicted NISA and the cabinet. This issue is settled and the nation must move on. Pillaging national resources: A second violation of the Somali vision by the current administration is its obliviousness to the pillaging of what is left of Somali sovereignty. Case in point is the aloof stance which the administration assumed thus far in the peddling of Berbera and Bossasso ports. The acquiescence by the administration to the handing of the country’s resources to the highest bidder without any transparent public process is antithetical to Farmajo’s patriotic campaign pledges. Forgotten sovereignty: A related item to the violation of the national vision is Villa Somalia’s evasive nature on the question of Somaliland. True to its philosophy, Somaliland has implemented what it calls “changing the reality on the ground,” and recapturing what used to be former British Protectorate. Villa’s Somalia’s utter silence on the belligerence of Somaliland in its deliberate attempt to undermine National Stabilization Program is a major slight to Sovereignty. Villa Somalia behaves as if it accepted a de facto disintegration of Somalia. On the unity question, So far Villa Somalia has stayed the same disappointing path as its predecessor. President Farmajo needs to realize that he is the only one entrusted to speak on behalf of the country, and thus needs to raise his voice on this matter. Nepotism and corruption: The culture of nepotism, cronyism and corruption still persists. Office seekers’ credentials are substituted for political clientelism. Such a political culture erodes legitimacy and good governance, that which in the last one year narrowed the support base of Farmajo. He needs to show a change in direction about this matter. About 40 years ago, Crawford Young, one of the most recognizable political scientists in the African studies field, carefully documented political clientelism in Zaire under the late Mubutu Sesse Seko. Today, the impacts of past political nepotism haunt Zaire. I have a deep and substantiated fear that impacts of nepotism and corruption are as bad as the terror carried out by Al-shabab. Simply look at what a recent senior political advisor and a minister said: whereas the first said he was under the impression that Puntland was more of a secessionist entity than Somaliland, the other said any highest bidder can sit and participate at the coveted weekly cabinet meetings! Gains: Tangible results are also achieved. The list of the achievements that Minister Hosh articulated on behalf of his administration speaks for itself. Some of the regulatory and programmatic achievements are all welcome. Maturity at the top: The absence of open squabble between President Farmajo and Prime Minister Khayre that was hitherto nauseating in the previous administration stands out. A discernable discipline inside Villa Somalia is maintained, in spite of Mogadishu being awash with roamers – and reliable information – that President Farmajo, following his successful trip to Puntland and Galmudug, has put a leash on the unfettered authority of the PM. Reliable sources informed me that Prime Minister Khayre confided in some ministers from his camp about the new tough attitude Farmajo assumed since he returned from his well-executed tour to Puntland and Galmudug. Never mind that most of it was a feel-good, the recent tour by the President to Puntland and Galmudug was a huge political gain for him. A shining result from the tour is his successful effort to reconcile the nagging division between Cadaado and Dhusamareeb; his predecessor failed to do this job. On the security front, one has to be a bit generous to the administration because of the complex nature of terrorism. Despite the October 14, 2017 terror mayhem that killed about 500 civilians at the bustling Zobba center, the overall security of the country is tangibly improving and Al-Shabab is more and more morphing into a long term guerrilla movement. Moving Ethiopian and Djiboutian embassies out of Villa Somalia is a reflection of the security sector improvement. Economic revival: So are improvements seen in the economic fundamentals, and the credit partially belongs to the previous administration. As a recent article put it, banking is improving, collection of revenue is increasing, and government salaries are paid in full for the first time. Taxing all UN operations is also a timely assertion of the police powers of the government. If Farmajo’s administration continues to improving the economy, there could be a huge windfall from the remittance the diaspora sends – estimated at more than $1.5 billion. A way forward: One way to move forward for Farmajo is to pivot and recapture some of his patriotic pledges that he articulated on the campaign trail. He needs to go back drawing board and reassess what his heroes such as Aden Abdulle Osman and Abdirazak Hussein stood for: we know they stood for a well-defined Somali-centered existential philosophy buttressed by a government that was committed to democracy. In the last few weeks, Farmajo’s government slipped and violated the civil rights of opposition leaders (invading the house of Senator Abdi Qaybdid and the headquarters of one of the opposition leaders, Abdirahman Abdishakur). He needs to disown this illegal culture. He could also benefit by articulating a clear practical vision pertaining to the territorial integrity of Somalia, both in terms of safeguarding its natural resources as well as reinforcing Villa Somalia’s uncompromising commitment to the unity of the Somali Federal Republic. For the last one year, Villa Somalia has been an absentee guardian of the sovereignty. In the short term, he must come up with a system where Mogadishu can elect its own mayor and cede the current federal mandate of hand-picking the mayor for the residents of that city. Mogadishu as a city needs a mayor that represents its legitimate residents. This should be done without upsetting the constitutional balance of power of regional states. Another area that his predecessor ignored is finishing and ratifying the draft constitution, invigorating the work on fiscal federalism, and putting regional governments within his power. Releasing funding for the constitutional process is a welcome step toward realizing the goal of one-man one-vote by 2020.

We strongly disagree with the Ethiopian government’s decision to impose a state of emergency that includes restrictions on fundamental rights such as assembly and expression. We recognize and share concerns expressed by the government about incidents of violence and loss of life, but firmly believe that the answer is greater freedom, not less. The challenges facing Ethiopia, whether to democratic reform, economic growth, or lasting stability, are best addressed through inclusive discourse and political processes, rather than through the imposition of restrictions. The declaration of a state of emergency undermines recent positive steps toward creating a more inclusive political space, including the release of thousands of prisoners. Restrictions on the ability of the Ethiopian people to express themselves peacefully sends a message that they are not being heard. We strongly urge the government to rethink this approach and identify other means to protect lives and property while preserving, and indeed expanding, the space for meaningful dialogue and political participation that can pave the way to a lasting democracy.

Today, the police arrested Mohamed Aabi Digaale, Hargeisa bureau chief of the London based Universal TV. The government of Somaliland has not commented on the arrest of the journalist. Sources confirmed to Human Rights Centre that he was arrested for a news report broadcasted by the television in early this month. There was no court warrant permitting the arrest of the journalist, according to Mohamoud Abdi Jama, the chairperson of Somaliland Journalists Association (SOLJA). The constitution of the Republic of Somaliland and the Press Law guarantee the fundamental right to freedom of expression. Furthermore, there is a number of other people who are in detention for statements they made. Naema Ahmed Ibrahim, arrested on 27th January 2017, for alleged Facebook posts, Abdiasis Adan Jalow, arrested on 6th February, after he held a press conference purportedly criticizing the power sharing of the new government, and Mohamed Kayse Mohamoud, arrested on 7th February, for Facebook post allegedly related to the unity of Somalia, are all in police custody. Abdirisaq Ismail Hassan, a licensed lawyer, has been arrested today and brought before a military court which remanded him into custody. According to the Secretary-General of Somaliland Lawyers Association, Abdirisaq is arrested for a question he asked the head of the fire-fighters in a television program. According to a family member, Abdirisaq used to work for the fire-fighters, but later on, left and started practicing the law. According to article 104 of the Constitution, the military courts do not have a jurisdiction in hearing cases against civilians. Human Rights Centre requests the government of Somaliland to release all those arrested for expressing their opinion. Guleid Ahmed Jama Director of Human Rights Centre Hargeysa Somaliland

Ethiopia’s defense minister has ruled out a military takeover a day after the East African nation declared a new state of emergency amid the worst anti-government protests in a quarter-century. Siraj Fegessa on Saturday also ruled out a transitional government. Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn remains in the post for now after making the surprise announcement Thursday that he had submitted a resignation letter to help planned political reforms in one of Africa’s best-performing economies succeed. The state of emergency will last for six months with a possible four-month extension, similar to one lifted in August, the defense minister said. The new state of emergency, which effectively bans protests, will be presented for lawmakers’ approval within 15 days. Siraj said security forces have been instructed to take “measures” against those disturbing the country’s functioning, with a new special court established to try them. Ethiopia’s cabinet on Friday cited deaths, ethnic attacks and mass displacement as reasons for the latest state of emergency. The announcement followed crippling protests in towns across the restive Oromia region on Monday and Tuesday that called for the release of political prisoners and urged the government to carry out rapid reforms. Similar protests have taken place across Ethiopia since late 2015, leading the government to declare a state of emergency in October 2016 after hundreds of people reportedly had been killed. A stampede at a religious event southeast of the capital, Addis Ababa, that month claimed the lives of several dozen people. That state of emergency led to the arrest of more than 22,000 people and severely affected business. Rights groups alleged that people were beaten and subjected to arbitrary detentions. The government said those arrested by mistake were released and those who unwillingly took part in the unrest were released after what it described as “trainings.” The United States has responded to the latest unrest by warning its embassy personnel to suspend all travel outside of the capital. And Ethiopia’s state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting corporate reported that the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, met and discussed current political issues with Foreign Minister Workneh Gebeyehu in New York. Befekadu Hailu, a prominent blogger who has been jailed for his writings, urged Ethiopia’s government to “carry out genuine reforms, negotiate with legitimate opposition groups and prepare the country for a free and fair election” to solve the unrest. The new state of emergency will create a group of people with conflicting interests, Befekadu said. “The state of emergency was tested a year ago. It brings temporary silence but not normalcy.” Source: AP The post No Ethiopia military takeover, minister says amid emergency appeared first on Caasimada Online.

German authorities have arrested a 20-year-old Somali man on suspicion of being a member of the extremist militia al-Shabab. Federal prosecutors say the man was detained Thursday in the central state of Hesse. Prosecutors said in a statement Friday that the suspect, identified only as Abduqaadir A. in line with German privacy laws, is suspected of attempted murder and accessory to murder. He is alleged to have joined al-Shabab in Somalia in 2012, undergone weapons training and then taken part in the killing of a person at a mosque.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia | Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn resigned unexpectedly on Thursday, the first leader to do so in the country’s recent history. As Africa’s second most-populous country enters uncharted political territory, here are four questions about what happened — and what comes next. – Why did he resign? – Rumours that Hailemariam would go have been circulating in the capital Addis Ababa for months, but his announcement came as a surprise. Guesses abound as to why he left when he did, but analysts say among the key drivers are the country’s spiral into crisis, and the divisions within Hailemariam’s party that have kept him from responding decisively. “We know that he’s not a real decision-maker in Ethiopia,” said one Ethiopia analyst, who requested anonymity. Hailemariam’s resignation followed a week that began with two days of strikes and road closures across Ethiopia’s most-populous region Oromia, and a mass prisoner release that saw some of the country’s most-prominent dissidents leave jail. Hailemariam had announced the prisoner release last month amid growing disenchantment with his government. Anger with the ruling Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) coalition exploded in December 2015 when the country’s largest ethnicity, the Oromo, began mass protests. Months later the next-largest ethnicity, the Amhara, rose up too. A 10-month state of emergency declared in October 2016 quelled the worst of the violence, but only after hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of arrests that were condemned by rights groups. Still, anti-government protests continue to occur, and a separate spate of clashes between the Oromo and Somali ethnicities displaced a million people late last year. “The situation is getting out of control right now, so he might have decided to resign by himself,” the analyst said, pointing to his decision to leave both the premiership and his own party. The EPRDF has engaged in a bout of self-flagellation since the protests, promising it would reform itself to address the population’s grievances. Hailemariam cited that goal in his resignation, saying he intended “to become part of the solution”. – What happens next? – Hailemariam’s resignation has been accepted by the executive committees of both the EPRDF and his own party within the coalition, the Southern Ethiopian People’s Democratic Movement (SEPDM). He will remain in office until parliament and the full EPRDF coalition confirm his request to leave. Local media has reported that they may be considering another state of emergency as a way to calm the protests and ethnic clashes.

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
