Tragedy on Somalia’s unity, nationalism, and sovereignty by Mohamud M Uluso Thursday, January 1, 2015 Societies need national governments for the promotion of social cohesion, protection of the rights of all citizens, defense from external harm and aggression, maintenance of political and security order, spur of economic development, and provision of emergency assistance. Conversely, Governments can be machinery used for killing, oppression, insecurity, and economic depredation. History shows that countries blessed with accountable governments led by patriotic leaders enjoyed steady progress and stability. In the last five decades, African countries were ruined by autocrats who used violence, divide and rule, and corruption to remain in power to the death and destruction of their countries like Somalia. The latter experience could not and should not be model and reference for rebuilding new Somalia. The Somali people credit the establishment of its first independent democratic government to the rectitude and impeccable leadership of late President Adan Abdulle Osman who firmly believed in the supremacy of the law and in the collective welfare of the people and country over personal enrichment or interests. Similarly, the American people credit the success of their unifying federal government to the conscious behavior and actions of their first president, George Washington, who applied and practiced the federal constitution in positive and restrained ways. He refused the majestic title proposed by the congress and accepted the title “Mr. President.” These are historical lessons for patriots. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) established in August 2012 was warmly welcomed as the embodiment of the bond and unity of the people and country of Somalia. But, it quickly lost the legitimacy of national representation provided under articles 1, 3 (4), 4, 7, and 8 of the Provisional Constitution (2012) because, in reality, it has accepted two conflicting portrayals. Domestically and in bilateral and multilateral engagements, it is misleadingly and abusively associated with South Central Somalia and shared platforms with sub clan presidents representing satellite states while in international gatherings and proclamations, it is hailed as a Somali national government. These dual roles or images have diminished the purpose, utility, and standing of the FGS and defeated the ambitious agenda of the “New Deal for Somalia” endorsed in Brussels, Belgium in September 2013. As of today, FGS do not represent the populations under the authorities of Somaliland, Puntland, Jubbaland, and Southwest. The Provisional Constitution designed to shackle the arbitrary and capricious behavior of rulers has become a worthless piece of paper for lack of compliance and respect. TFG has morphed into a political machine used by a politically, economically, socially, and religiously motivated cabal (Somali and foreigners) determined to auction the Somali future through loyalty to foreign powers, disregard of national interests, rule of law and national sovereignty, and use of widespread patronage system. It exists to validate foreign agenda and to plunder Mogadishu Port revenue and funds provided by foreign donors. The actions of FGS leaders exclusively motivated by personal calculations are at the expense of peace and reconciliation and state building. Somali solidarity under the banner of Somali flag looks far-off. Sadly, TFG leaders contributed to their unpopularity by choosing to ignore the awesome responsibility of being the first leaders entrusted to lay the foundations of integrated sovereign independent Somalia after 22 years of civil war, fragmentation process, foreign interventions, religious fundamentalism, war on terror, and failed transitions. Not less culpable, the leaders of regional satellite states have formalized the disintegration of Somalia by fomenting clan antagonisms, corruption and by facilitating neighboring manipulations and control. The recent agreement signed between Ahmed Modobe of Jubbaland and Sharif Hassan of Southwest on December 29, 2014 in Kismaio reveals the wrong rationale behind the imposed new clan federation. If clan based “New Somalia” becomes reality, Somalia as we know will be history and the new clan satellites will be enclaves where poverty, insecurity, and foreign manipulations persist. The Somali ethnic State of Ethiopia coaches Somali satellite states to brainwash them from Somali nationhood. In 2009, Djibouti Agreement among Somalis ended the invasion of Ethiopian forces into Somalia and secured their complete withdrawal. Today, Ethiopian forces have reoccupied Somalia with the illegal rubber stamp of TFG leaders. This marks an inauspicious future for Somalia. Soon after his election in 2012, President Hassan has become the star, face, and manager of the FGS and made the commitment to adhere strictly to the provisions of the provisional constitution. But serious blunders, contradictions, and scandals belied his pledges and eroded public expectations. Doubling-down on TFG failure, some external actors subtly pursued anti Statebuilding strategy by frustrating Somali reconciliation and unity and nurturing clan balkanization. Renowned Scholars and institutions published reports and articles explaining how the FGS fumbled and lost the right path for being responsible, accountable, and legitimate national governance. A new report released in 2014 assessed the much applauded and appreciated support of Turkey to Somalia between 2011 and 2013 and highlighted that Somali leaders lacked the necessary national vision to develop attitudes and strategies in line with the five principles plan outlined by Ahmet Davutoğlu, former foreign minister of Turkey as prelude to the 2012 Istanbul Conference on Somalia. The five principles were (1) the establishment of national unity, (2) the creation of a new political system, (3) a comprehensive structuring of the economy, (4) the configuration of national Somali forces, and (5) lifting the isolation of Somalia. As the report notes, Turkey’s involvement in Somalia has engendered tensions and risks against the overall strategic interests of Turkey in Africa. Therefore, the Turkey government has been advised to abandon its strategy towards Somalia and to align it efforts with East Africa (Ethiopia and Kenya) governments and western powers that have the monopoly of security and policy agenda in Somalia. The report recommends the lowering of Somalis’ high expectation from Turkey. As a matter of fact, Turkey has initiated the process of scaling down its involvement in Somalia by withdrawing some of its staff from Mogadishu and altering the support of TFG as a national government. Recent statements of Turkey Ambassador to Mogadishu Olgan Bekar provide clear signals for policy shift. The new Ambassador visited Somaliland, Jubbaland, and Puntland (Garowe) where he said, “I believe that Puntland is a role model for the emerging federal states,” and “I underline that I will carry forward concerted efforts to forge better relations between Turkey and Puntland.” News report indicates that Turkey Ambassador presented special credential to the President of Somaliland. The main topics of discussion between the Ambassador and regional presidents were on equal treatment between the federal government and federal states representing clans with respect to aid and scholarship distribution and diplomatic consultation. External supporters of clan federalism are delighted about the new institutionalized relations between Somali clans and foreign powers. To make Somali governance a mockery, President Hassan has promoted Militia leader Ahmed Madobe from head of Interim Jubba Administration to President of Jubbaland State and later signed in Djibouti an international agreement with the President of secessionist northern regions of Somalia (Somaliland). He appears and interfaces with the new Prime Minister in parliament, hand over ceremonies, and welcoming parties to erase the concept of institutional separation and reinforce personal rule perception. There are no compelling or attractive reasons for the Somali people to be loyal to or confident in the FGS since it lacks the will and vision to safeguard the territorial integrity, independence, and sovereignty of Somalia. Any deference to FGS now mistakenly associated with Mogadishu (substitute for Hawiye) is self-delusion and unpatriotic. Citizens are obliged to be vigilant against the prevarications of leaders. FGS and regional satellite states should not be allowed to mortgage the future of Somalia. Change has to occur and Somalis must prevent a final tragedy on Somalia’s unity, nationalism, and sovereignty. Conversation among Somali citizens about the legitimacy of the FGS and the future of Somalia is duty-bound and should immediately start at all levels.

Expats from yemen investing in Somaliland is increasing by the day a new office for the peoples of Yemen is opening up in Somaliland. South Yemen and Somaliland had a strong ties fro centuries and this is a good step in repairing Somaliland and Arab states particular Yemen in this case.

But you should not propagate it for Harowo is not a Somaliland website , they are spreading nothing but hatred between Somaliland clans. Somaliland is above Siilaanyo , Siilaanyo will be gone tomorrow but Sl remains.

Once Ethiopian troops are in Kismayo they have completely surrounded Somalia from Hiiraan in the north to bay and bakool to the west and to the south Kismayo. Very interesting development.

Mooge where is this uprise going on i dont see any protests in Awdal this is an internal issue and the government has a hand into it to.. But u will hear soon.

He does not support it listen to what he says he talks about the issues that remain in Somaliland that needs to be solved. He is addressing the problem. Listen from 8:20 he says we are not at his stage of supporting the break up of SL we want our fair share of the government and civil servant but he has declared independence thats what he said. salax what kind of Somalilander are u i understand u dont like the SL govermment but to support instability is wrong in the country dont u want to inherit a strong Somaliland if u are the one of the opposition parties. By the way the so called up rise in Awdal u have to read between the lines the minister of agriculture and abibakr are good friends and family. i will not be surprised of the SL government and Abibakar are in collusion , creating instability and than declaring martial law, And than postpone the elections of 2015, rayaale used to that to and than postpone the elections Kulmiye is using the same game.

There will be another war i believe between eritrea and Ethiopia the TPLF and EPLF will once again fight another war.

ETHIOPIA: PILOT HIJACKED OUR MILITARY HELICOPTER TO ERITREA December 23, 2014 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — The Ethiopian Defense Ministry charges that a pilot hijacked to Eritrea an attack helicopter which went missing a few days ago. In a statement issued late Monday the ministry said the pilot of the Ethiopian attack helicopter forced his co-pilot and technician to land in Eritrean territory. The helicopter was conducting a routine training flight when it disappeared on Friday morning, prompting a massive military search across northern Ethiopia. It’s unusual for Ethiopian army personnel to flee to Eritrea though Eritrean troops often across the border into Ethiopia, citing harsh conditions and forced conscription into the military. Relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia have been consistently strained since Eritrea gained its independence from the Addis Ababa government in 1993 following a 30-year guerrilla war. Source: AP

The link u posted does not work u do know that the so called abibakr is in Ethiopia aka xabashi land so u want him to use xabashis to fight SL LOOOLS. WHEN HATRED BLINDS PEOPLE

Lol turmoil with no protests with no casualties with no killing or injuries why is all the uprise in Ethiopia and not In Borama is very strange. Somaliland is stronger than ever one man does not represent an entire community people like our koonfurian anarchist will be very saddened when abibakr asks for forgiveness The same way in south eastern sool the only conflict there was between 2 sub clans of south eastern sool, have u ever heard after SL has cleansed khatumo from saax dheer casualties or issues there no the region is very peaceful

Cabdi Cawar already starts Crying wonderful.. Puntland oo Walwal ka Muujisay Qaar ka mid ah Qodobadii Heshiiskii Jabuuti Talaado, December 23, 2014 (HOL) — Madaxweynaha Puntland, C/wali Maxamed Cali Gaas oo ka hadlay heshiiskii ay Jabuuti ku gaareen madaxweynaha Soomaaliya iyo kan Somaliland ayaa sheegay in qaar ka mid ah qodobbada heshiiskaas ay Puntland ahaan ka qabaan walaac aad u xooggan. Mudane Gaas uu soo dhaweeyay heshiiska iyo wadahadallada dhex-maray labada dhinac ayaa dhanka kale muujiyay walwalka ay ka qabaan qodobka heshiiska dhinaca hawada iyo arrinta ku saabsan masiirka. Sidoo kale, madaxweynaha maamulka Puntland ayaa sheegay inay iyagu markii hore qayb ka ahaayeen heshiiska maamulka hawada, balse ay layaab ku noqotay in dowladda Somalia iyo Somaliland ay keligood isku koobeen arrinta ku saabsan hawada Soomaaliya. “Qodobka ku saabsan wadaagga maamulka hawada Soomaaliya, Puntland haddaan nahay dacwad ayaan ka qabnaa, barnaamijkan hawada markiisii horeba aniga ayaa billaabay xilligii aan ahaa wasiirka qorsheynta dowladdii KMG-ka ahayd ee Soomaaliya sannadkii 2011-kii. heshiis saddex geesood ah ayuuna ahaa, kaasoo ay kuwada jireen; Puntland, dowladda federaalka iyo Somaliland, balse waxaad mooddaa in hadda ay Somalia iyo Somaliland oo keliya isku koobayaan,” ayuu yiri Gaas. Isagoo sii hadlaya ayuuna intaas raaciyay. “Arrintan walwal weyn ayaanu ka qabnaa, waana fikir qaldan oo aan shaqeynayn, haddii magaalada Hargeysa loo wareejiyana waxaan imaanaysa xilligii ay Puntland ka baxday heshiiskan in la sheego. Muqdisho waa caasimadii Soomaaliya halkaas haloo wareejiyo ama Garoowe hala keeno ayaan ku talinaynaa.” Dhanka kale, madaxweynaha Puntland ayaa sheegay in marka laga hadlayo masiirka arrimaha Somalia aanay ku koobnaan dowladda Somalia iyo sidoo kale Somaliland, balse loo baahan yahay in Puntland-na ay qayb ka noqoto. “Masiirka marka laga hadlayo ma jirto cid gaar ah oo Soomaaliya iska leh, Xasan Sheekh iyo Axmed Siilaanyo keligoodna kama hadli karaan, waayo masiirka dalka waa mid Soomaalida oo dhan khuseeya mana ogolaanayno in cid gaar ah ay arrintaas siday doonto iska yeesho. Puntland xuduudaheedu waxay gaarayaan Sool, Sanaag iyo Ceyn, marka waxaa loo baahan yahay in Soomaali oo dhan laga talo-geliyo arrinta masiirka,” ayuu yiri C/wali Gaas ku daray hadalkiisa. Si kasta ha ahaatee, madaxweynaha dowladda Somalia iyo madaxweynaha Somaliland ayaa shir ay Sabtidii ku yeesheen Jabuuti waxay maalintii xigtay kasoo saareen war-murtiyeed ay iskula garteen shirkoodii, kaasoo lix qodob ka koobanaa, ayna ka mid ahaayeen labadan arrimoood ee Puntland ay ka muujisay walaaca xooggan.

Also a few other predictions Jeb Bush to be republican candidate for the presidential elections in the United states The Houthis will gain more momentum in Yemen. The Kulmiye party will be majority in Parliament in Somaliland

<cite> @Mooge said:</cite> Xaaji, somaliland's shamelessness has no bounds. this is the worst one I have seen in a long time. For 60 years the people of Palestine struggled under the daily bombardments of Isreal and you support an immigrant hating rightwing idiot for using your name to deny freedom to an oppressed people. you somalilanders should be ashamed of yourselves niyoow. Stop with the crocodile tears i was just pointing out the stance of the European union and how they view things. Politically even the Kosovo was not recognized by the European union but members states of the European Union have recognized Kosovo for strategic interest individually. This is not about whether the Palestinian state deserves recognition or not this about how the European union operates regarding new member states. If i was Palestinian i would never even want European Union recognition it was the Europeans that gave the Israeli Europeans a home land in Palestine because they felt bad what has happened in the second world war , and they sacrificed the Arabs for that. You have to view this like this the vast Majority of Arab league from the beginning since the reign of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion refused to recognize a Jewish state in the Midst of Arabs. And later After Israel Karbaasshed both Egypt and Jordan those 2 countries at gun point were forced to recognize Israel. As for Sweden is the only country in Europe that recognizes a Palestinian state, it is because the Swedes have a problem with Zionist infiltrators in Sweden who want to corrupt Swedish immigration policy.

Every one can hope How can Somalia have a strong army when the so called Somali army is fighting Aswj in the central regions and losing allot of men The terrorists and Pirates of the south and the Anarchists can only wish to harm Somaliland for the time being they remain to hurt themselves only.

President Hassan sheikh Mahamoud and Prime minister Cumar Buur will have their usual Fights Somaliland Elections of 2015 will be postponed Somaliland and Somalia talks will fail Sultan Abibakr will be back in Hargeysa and ask for forgiveness Isis will lose big grounds against the Kurdish rebels President Asad will still remain unchallenged ASWJ and will fight the central authority being build in the central regions of Somalia The TPLF/ EPRDF government will win the Ethiopian elections in 2015 Former President Faroole will re join Politics Abdi ileey Ethiopian regional president for the Somali Kilil will be sacked Alshabaab will capture the city of Mombassa Cali Khalif Galaydh will be planning Khatumo conference 4 some of his Qurbajoog administration will defect to Somaliland

Also Kosovo issue was a geopolitical issue of Europe versus the east Russia and Serbia on one side. And the Europeans backing Kosovo for strategic interest

In Feb Qodobada Masiiriga will be discussed and thats where the talks will fail in Turkey 2015 talks will be very interesting watch here. So far the airspace issue has been resolved and ofcourse The Djibouti government can join the talks if needed but the most important bad will be the February talks in Turkey

Mooge governments in SL come and go but every one in SL knows SL is a strong nation no threats at all the people of Awdal back their troops on the ground all the major elders in Awdal have abandoned Abibakr thats the truth i know u have been hoping the down fall of Somaliland but it will not happen in this world Moogee. Bal weynu u fadhina in the next coming year if something happens in Awdal or not.

Mooge Nickolas Gaal does not represent the British crown at this moment but the UN. Qoslaya is a good man he played the pirates very well he removed Yuulka and got cumar buur in his place and now Cumar buur will not put up a fight and will appoint the Ministers Hassan sheikh wants him to bring forward.

There is nothing to say about Awdal , Awdal region is peaceful and everything is oke there ciid dhimatay iyo cid dhawaacantay ma jirto.. Unlike in Mudug today the governor almost got killed today in mudug.

The next Phase of Talks in Turkey in February The Air space agreement need to be put into work That Djibouti President can assist if needed

Ofcourse all clans fought each other in the former Somali republic no one is a saint but Keyd media is creating a one sided narrative of the disastrous Somali civil war. Crimes have been committed on all sides though different in its form but the result is the same killing death and destruction. The Regime of Siyad bare and their brutal crimes in Somaliland, state sponsored terrorism in Somaliland innocent civilians were the biggest losers making them flee in their 100s of thousands into Ethiopia.And ofcourse the Killings in Mogadishu in 1991 against certain Somali clans people who their only crime was that they shared a tribal lineage with the former dictator dragged from their homes slaughtered. And ofcourse the 2007 tragedy and disgrace where the arch enemies of the Somalis were roaming in Mogadishu freely and where 100s of thousands fled into Kenya dadaab refugee camps and ceelasha biyaha and where a xabashi general by the name General Gabre remained in Mogadishu calling the shots. With so many lives lost so unfortunate all.
