South African anti-apartheid campaigner Winnie Mandela has died aged 81, her personal assistant says. Winnie Madikizela Mandela was the former wife of South Africa’s first black president, Nelson Mandela. The couple – famously pictured hand-in-hand as Mr Mandela walked free from prison after 27 years – were a symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle for nearly three decades. However, in later years her reputation became tainted legally and politically. Family spokesman Victor Dlamini said in a statement: “She died after a long illness, for which she had been in and out of hospital since the start of the year. She succumbed peacefully in the early hours of Monday afternoon surrounded by her family and loved ones.” Mrs Mandela was born in 1936 in the Eastern Cape – then known as Transkei. She was a trained social worker when she met her future husband in the 1950s. They were married for a total of 38 years, although for almost three decades of that time they were separated due to Mr Mandela’s imprisonment. It was Mrs Mandela who took his baton after he was jailed for life, becoming an international symbol of resistance to apartheid and a rallying point for poor, black township residents who demanded their freedom. Five years later, she too was jailed by the white minority government she was fighting against. But Mrs Mandela – an icon of the struggle – also found herself mired in controversy. She was heard backing the practice of “necklacing” – putting burning tyres around suspected informants’ necks – and was accused of conducting a virtual reign of terror in parts of Soweto by other members of the African National Congress (ANC) in the late 1980s. She was also found guilty of kidnapping and sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for her involvement in the death of 14-year-old township militant Stompie Seipei. She always denied the allegation, and the sentence was reduced to a fine. Mr Mandela, who stood by her throughout the accusations, was finally released from prison in February 1990. But two years later, their marriage crumbled. The couple divorced in 1996, but she kept his surname and maintained ties with him.

Baarlamaankii Umadda Soomaaliyeed laba ayuu u kala jabay, madaxdii dalkana iyaga ayaa isku maqan si ay isku dagaan, iyadoo siyaasadda dalku ay markale kusoo noqotay iskooxeysi. Sida aan aaminsanahay, tallaabooyinka ay qaadayaan Madaxda Dowladda dhexe ee Soomaaliya oo ah mid aan natiijadeeda dhowr jeer horay usoo aragnay, waa mid rajo xumo ku abuureysa qalbiga Soomaali kasta, oo soo niyad-samaaday bilowgii sannadkii hore. Baarlamaan mooshin keena, iskooxeysi siyaasadeed iyo turub-siyaasadeed u dhexeeya madaxda Dowladda dhexe, ayaa socday tan iyo bishii lasoo dhaafay. Koox walba sida iska cad, waxay dooneysaa inaan qosolka guusha looga dambeyn. Si taageero loo helana, dhaqaalihii dalka ee ammaan kobaceedka adduunka ka helay, ayaa qasnadaha lagala baxayaa, si loogu qarash gareeyo hadaf siyaasadeedka koox ama shaqsi. Intii lagu jiray khilaafkaan siyaasadeed ee aan illaa haatan xalka loo helin, isku dheelli-tirnaantii ammaanka ayaa meesha ka baxday, iyadoo qaraxyo fara-badan iyo dilal qorsheysan caasimadda Mogadishu laga geystay, sidaas darteed waxaa muuqata in laga faa’iideystay khilaafka Madaxda dalka oo iyagu isku jeestay. Mana aheyn wax loo baahnaa. Aniga ahaan, ilama habboona inaan sugno cidda guusha qaadi doonta, waxaana qabaa in habka ugu wanaagsan ee aan horumarkeennii dowladnimo kusii wadan karno uu yahay isku-tanaasul iyo wada-shaqeyn dhab ah, si aan horay ugu soconno, adduunka xumaanteenna jecelna uu wanaaggeenu gaaro. Labadii is-khilaafsan waxaan qabaa in miiska wadahadalka la isugu keenno, iyadoo la isku calool-fiyoow yahay heshiis la dhex-dhigo. Madaxweyne Maxamed C/llaahi Maxamed Farmaajo, oo aan ku ammaanayo qaabkii uu xalka ugu wanaagsan ugu helay, fadeexaddii la saadaalinayey inay ka dhici doonto haddii la qaban lahaa Kalfadhiggii BFS ee Sabtidii iyo masuul walba anigoo aan magacyadooda xuseyn waxaan si gaar ah uga codsan lahaa in aysan naga daboolin isha rajo ee inoo baxaysa. Gunaanadka maqaalkeyga yar, waxaan madaxda Umadda Soomaaliyeed ka codsanayaa, dalku dibin-daabyo wuu ka daalay, dadkuna uma baahna dandarro, sidaas darteed doorkiinna qaata oo dalka iyo dadka u daneeya, danteennana ka shaqeeya. Danta guudna halaga hormariyo danaha gaarka ah, tanaasulkuna waa tanaadka shacabka Soomaaliyeed. Qormadii: Zakarie Mahamed Axmed

Mar uu ka hadlayay arrintaas ayuu yiri. “Shacabka Itoobiya iyo kan Ertirea waxaa ka dhexeeya xiriiro kala duwan oo ay ka mid tahay inay yihiin shacab dhiig-wadaaga oo aan sinna u kala maarmin.” Madaxweynaha Somalia Maxamed C/llaahi Farmaajo iyo Madaxweynaha Maamulka Somaliland, Muuse Biixi Cabdi ayaa la sheegay inay khadadka taleefoonka ugu hambalyeeyeen ra’iisul wasaaraha cusub ee Itoobiya, inkastoo aan la sheegin mas’uul kale oo Soomaaliyeedoo u hambalyeeyay Abiy Ahmed. Dhanka kale, Mas’uuliyiintii ka hadlay goobta ayaa iyaguna muujiyay sida ay ugu fraxsan yihiin in Abiy Ahmed loo dhaariyo Ra’iisul Wasaaraha cusub ee Itoobiya, waxayna kula dardaarmeen in hawsha uu halkeedii kasii wado.

Somaliland’s cycle of democracy and the flourishing of Multi Party Politics By Dr. Hussein Mohamed Nur In comparison with most of Africa, Somaliland has accomplished the principles and tools of good governance and successful pluralistic democracy. Since its withdrawal from union with Somalia in 1991 Somaliland has made significant advances in attaining security and stability until it has earned being called as an ‘oasis of peace’ in a region beleaguered by conflicts and political instability. Subsequently, elections pushed by principles of democracy have rather become an uncommon ritual. Somaliland has a good track record of conducting peaceful credible elections and peaceful power transfers. Generally, elections form a core part of the common understanding and practice of democracy. In more than two decades of building democracy, elections have become the most critical action of conferring legitimacy to its government administrations in Somaliland. The democratic processes are never compromised and the credibility and legitimization of electoral practices in Somaliland form habitual methods and roots of electoral integrity. As Somaliland declared its sovereignty, independence and voluntarily withdrew from union with Somalia in the grand Burao conference in May 1991 Abdirahman Ahmed Ali (Tuur) and Hassan Essa Jama were elected as interim president and vice president respectively for a term of two years. At the end of President Ali’s term, Mohamed Ibrahim Egal (a veteran politician and statesman) was elected as the second president at the1993 memorable Borama peace and reconciliation conference in a peaceful transfer of power process. The Egal’s administration oversaw the establishment of a model government and the kickstart of post-war rehabilitation, reconstruction and development of the country. The SNM liberation front was officially disbanded as a political movement followed by a successful programme of demobilization of the SNM forces. I n 1997 an indirect non-partisan presidential election contested between Egal (the incumbent president), Suleiman Adan (a veteran politician) and Mohamed Hashi Elmi (a senior SNM leader/politician) was held in which Egal was re-elected as president by a majority (over 70%). As political maturity in Somaliland progressed and developed during Egal’s term a significant progress democratization process was initiated and started with the 2001 constitutional referendum held as a plebiscite for revoking sovereignty from union with Somalia in which 97% of the public voted for. Until 2002 no political associations or national parties existed. An impressive list of polls has been recorded since 2003. The first political party, UDUB (Union of National Democratic Coalition Party) was formed by Egal. On 3rd May 2002 president died and Vice president, Dahir Rayale Kahin, took over the presidency to complete the term. Rayale chose Ahmed Yusuf Yassin as vice president. President Rayale immediately jumped onto the bandwagon of pluralism and a multi-party system. According to the constitution, only three political parties are allowed to prevail in the country at any one time but it (the constitution) also allows the formation of political associations to be registered and to compete for the top three national parties for a specific period. In line with that six political organizations (UDUB, UCID, ASAD, SAHAN, KULMIYE and HORMOOD) were registered on 15 December 2002 to compete for the top three national parties. UDUB, KULMIYE, and UCID were the first three that attracted sufficient support and, hence, became the three national parties. The first DIRECT presidential election took place on 14 April 2003 and Dahir Rayale Kahin (the incumbent president) of UDUB party won the race. However, what remarkably earns to mention is that Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Sillanyo, the opposition candidate, was defeated by the slimmest and the narrowest majority (by just 80 votes) and conceded defeat, a phenomenon that has never been observed in the African continent which is an indication of how politically mature people and committed to Somaliland people are to democratic pluralism. A parliamentary election, closely observed and monitored by international observers, and contested by the three existing national parties (UDUB, KULMIYE, and UCID) candidates took place on 25 September 2001 to elect members of the Lower House of the parliament ‘Golaha Wakiilada’. The Upper House or House of elders ‘Golaha Guurtida’ stands un-elected. A second presidential election which was strongly contested was held on 26 June 2010. Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Sillanyo of the opposition party, Kulmiye, won the race by a majority (49.59%). The outgoing president, Rayale, gracefully conceded defeat and officially handed over the power to the newly elected president on 27 July 2010 in a peaceful fashion. This is interestingly rare experience in Africa. It also made the world envy. So far in mainland Africa, only three states (Benin, Senegal, and Zambia) had their incumbent presidents stood down after being defeated in elections) without violence or political disagreements. As pluralistic democracy matured and gathered momentum, multi-party elections continued in Somaliland. In accordance with the 2011 electoral law, new political associations (UMMADDA, DALSAN, RAYS, WADANI and HAQSOOR) were officially registered to compete with the existing three political parties ((KULMIYE, UDUB, and UCID) to choose the three top national parties. KULMIYE, WADANI, and UCID succeeded to become the three national parties. On 28 November 2012, a local government election was held in which a total of 2,308 candidates from the three parties (including 140 women) contested for 379 seats. The election was witnessed by a 50-strong team of international observers coordinated by Steve Kibble (Progressio organization) and Michael Wallis (Department planning unit, UCL, University of London) together with Somaliland Focus and the international community that worked closely with the National Electoral Commission (NEC) to observe and monitor the elections. The election passed off largely in peace and Somaliland was congratulated for the lively and enthusiastic elections. Another successful presidential election, the third presidential election (the sixth in a row) has been recently held (on 13 November 2017). This election has been the most dramatic one as it was different from the previous ones in a number of ways. A new technology (iris-recognition biometrics) was introduced replacing the old fingerprint biometrics voter registration system. That made Somaliland the most technologically sophisticated state in the African continent and in the world, to use iris-recognition technology. The technology was chosen because of its reliability, flexibility, and standardization. It also boosted the confidence and trust in its capacity to protect fraud and repeat voting. The election was preceded by a three-week campaign with a series of well-orchestrated rallies taken in turns by the contesting parties. The first-ever televised presidential debate in Africa has also held in which the candidates engaged in a town hall-style debate as the event was live–streamed from the capital, Hargeisa whereas the media openly covered and allowed to scrutinize the candidates’ policies and performances. The election was interesting as it kindled an ecstatic and special attentiveness to the outside world due to the political maturity and the dynamics of democratic processes in the country. The international press and media covered the proceedings extensively to the extent the political pundits described Somaliland as the strongest democracy in Africa in general and in East Africa or the Horn region in particular. The election demonstrated strong commitment, responsibility and political maturity of the institutions, national political parties and the people of Somaliland. The election has proven mellowness of a vigorous democratic governance at work. The election has been observed by a 60-strong team of international observers from 27 countries together with international partners (UK, Denmark, USA, Belgium, Demark, Finland, the EU, France, Germany, Holland, Norway, Switzerland, and Sweden). On the day of the election, a high-level delegation from the international community and the international observers visited 350 polling stations in Hargeisa and witnessed the opening, the voting, the closing, and the tallying procedures at stations. The Chief Observer and the chairman of the international observers, Michael Wallis, praised and congratulated Somaliland for the smooth conduct of the voting and the peaceful manner in which the people exercised their rights to vote. The NEC has also been commended for their vital responsibility of managing and coordinating a peaceful conduct of the election. Musa Bihi Abdi and Abdirahman Abdillahi Saylici won with a majority (55.1%) as the president-elect and vice president respectively. The results have been acknowledged and accepted by the opposition candidates. Elections are means to ends and this election strongly affirmed the consistent pattern in democratization and exposed Somaliland. The election has been fascinated by the outside world. It has taken a step further close to de jure recognition. For instance, the Scandinavians particularly Sweden, one of the first EU nations to recognize Palestine and one which has also been toying with the recognition of Western Sahara, has emerged with enthusiasm in eying on Somaliland’s independence and recognition in the near future. This election has acted as a major step forward as it has exposed an encouragingly positive signal to the rest of the world and that it could bolster a strong case for international recognition. The political stance of Somaliland is in stark contrast to those of most African countries and especially with its neighbors. For example, the 2016 INDIRECT presidential election in Somalia has been blemished with controversies, fraught, pervasive corruption, sales of votes, and reliance on abundant external funding and support coupled with instability and insecurity from Al-Shabaab. Even the one-person-one-vote principle which was envisaged in 2012 proved to be remote and a day-dream. Using the 4.5 clan code system which undermines the recognized principles of democracy voters for the president were hand-picked and votes were swapped with huge sums of money. Somalia and South Sudan have been described as failed states; North Sudan as a dictatorship and Eritrea, Rwanda and Ethiopia as police states; Isaias Afwerki, first president of Eritrea came to power in 1993 (the same time as the second president of Somaliland, Egal) is still in power today. In Uganda, Yoweri Museveni is still on the saddle of the power uninterruptedly since January 1986, while Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe has been in power for about 30 years since 1987 as president until he has recently (2017) been forced out of office under pressure. Even Kenya, once the East African region’s most vibrant and competitive democracy, clearly struggled in the last two elections marred by violence, re-election and political disagreements. In other African countries such as Liberia, Cameroon, Chad, Gambia, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Chad to mention some, elections have been disrupted by a flare-up of violence and even with military interventions. Considering the transfer of power, the 2017 presidential election was interesting. The former president, Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud Sillanyo, though he was entitled to a second term for re-election, stood down while in most of Africa this is quite rare. In the year 2017, Robert Mugabe (in his 90s) of Zimbabwe has been ousted by a military who was in power since 1987; Yower Museveni, a 73-year-old, who was in power since 1986 is still insisting to stay even though according to age he should not be president any more legally; Afwerki in power since 1991 and rather became unremovable while Paul Piya, the 84-year-old president of Cameroon, is standing for re-election; Yahya Jammeh of Gambia was not re-elected after 22 years in power; and Jose Dos Santos of Angola who was in power for 38 years has been removed with difficulty. This shows that Somaliland stands out of the pack (of African states). Somaliland currently ranks high in terms of the indices of democratic performance and could act as a model inspiration for East Africa and wider Africa. The winds of change for Somaliland’s political prospects are now blowing stronger. For instance, two main political parties in Sweden (the Christian Democrats (KD), a center-right party and the Swedish Democrats have instantly responded with optimism to the news of elections in Somaliland. The KD Party express eagerness in Somaliland’s recognition and that should be done in in cooperation with the other EU Member States and that it is teaming up in cooperation with another three national Parties (Moderates, Conservative Democrat, and the Volks Party or Liberal party) to bring about a motion to the parliament whilst the Swedish Democrats Party has taken the extra mile by voicing a radical approach in support of Somaliland’s recognition as it meets all the requirements that a government should have to be a recognised as a country. Additionally, a Swedish journal, ‘VardenIdag’ commented: “Somaliland’s recognition would serve as a good example of what can be achieved when conflicts are resolved with dialogues rather than violence”, a Swedish political activist, Michael Torstensson, vehemently articulated that Somaliland’s prowess in fighting terrorism and establishing a functioning and the most peaceful state in East Africa merits recognition while Professor Paul Wrange (University of Stockholm) stresses that there are no logic obstacles to Somaliland’s recognition and independence. On the other hand, the UK as the strongest partner of Somaliland acknowledges and supports Somaliland’s efforts in commitment to democratic ideals. The UK, a long-standing friend of Somaliland, has a major stake in the success of the elections in Somaliland investing a significant contribution to the planning, preparation and delivering the biometric voter registration used in the 2017 election. Jeremy Carver, a British international lawyer voiced that Somaliland satisfies all legal criteria for its independent statehood and how it conducted success of elections make it deserve to be recognized. Another British politician, Zac Goldsmith (the Conservative Party, East Midlands), has recently remarked in the British parliament in tribute to the election: “With recent events in Zimbabwe and total chaos in Kenya now, will the Prime Minister join me in celebrating the hugely successful elections this week in Somaliland.” David Concar, another British politician, and diplomat (Ambassador for Somalia and Somaliland) unambiguously pointed to the evidence of Somaliland’s impressive records of democratization and pluralism and congratulated the people of Somaliland and the president-elect, Musa Bihi Abdi on winning the contest. James Carver (MEP and UKIP party) forcefully remarked on the recognition of Somaliland in a debate at the EU parliament at Brielle’s and indicated that there are precedents [(the dissolution of the UAR between two independent states between Egypt and Syria; the dissolution of the union between Senegal and Gambia (Senegambia)]. “Somaliland has taken the path of democracy”, Edna Aden Ismail adds. Somaliland deserves international recognition. Somaliland has proven to be a symbol of peace, security, and stability in a region affected by political turmoil. This year’s laudable successful election conducted this year offers food for thought for the African continent in general and for East Africa in particular. This does not mean that there are no challenges for Somaliland. Somaliland’s diplomatic isolation defies it from international recognition and the newly-elected president has no illusions about the complex challenges facing Somaliland (Financial Times, 28th November 2017). The president, Muse Bihi Abdi, vows to serve all Somalilanders alike injustice and pledges to broaden development, strengthen and consolidate peace, security, stability and extend democratization; improve the economic headwinds and pillars of the economy, resources and endowment; seek foreign direct investments; provide basic needs of the society (health care, education, clean water, youth employment etc.). The centrality of international recognition is high on the agenda. It is important to reform the presently sterile talks and negotiations with Somalia and the need for international community’s neutral witnesses and mediators from the international community. Modalities of the negotiations ought to be changed. (Continued)
