Ethiopia says preparing to pull troops out of Somalia
Che -Guevara replied to Che -Guevara's topic in Politics
So much for Ethiopia are our friends, Hasan should learn from past mistakes. MMA. It's the same story alright and Somalis lack the foresight or the ability to learn from past mistakes. -
Tuesday, April 23, 2013 By Aaron Maash (Reuters) - Ethiopia will withdraw its troops from Somalia soon, its prime minister said on Tuesday, voicing frustration with the Mogadishu government and African Union peacekeeping forces that are also battling Islamist militants there. After waging an ill-fated war in Somalia in 2006-2009, Ethiopia in 2011 once again rolled troops into Somalia to fight al Qaeda-allied al Shabaab, opening a third front alongside Kenyan troops and an African Union mission. At the time Ethiopia pledged to stay in the war-ravaged country until Somali government could ratify a new constitution and its ragtag military was able to fend off the Islamist threat on its own. However, last month Ethiopian troops unexpectedly withdrew from Hudur, the capital of Bakool province near the Ethiopian border, enabling al Shabaab to retake the dusty town. Hailemariam Desalegn, who replaced Ethiopia's long-serving Prime Minister Meles Zenawi in September, stopped short of announcing a full withdrawal but voiced concern with the pace of progress in Somalia, recovering from two decades of civil war. "It has taken them (African peacekeepers and Somalia) a year already and they repeatedly assure us each month but fail to deliver so we pulled out," said Hailemariam, referring to pledges by African Union's Amisom force to replace Ethiopian troops. "The main issue now is to accelerate our complete withdrawal towards our border. This is what we are fulfilling," he told Ethiopia's parliament. Hailemariam said Addis Ababa was paying for its military mission in Somalia from its own coffers and Western diplomats say financial issues are one of the main reasons behind Ethiopia's discontent, along with strained relations with Mogadishu and Amisom. African countries which sent troops into Somalia under the Amisom banner are compensated by the African Union but Ethiopian troops do not operate within that framework. Al Shabaab has been greatly weakened since late September when Kenyan troops forced it to withdraw from the port of Kismayu, its last major urban stronghold. But analysts say they doubt Ethiopia is set for a full withdrawal and Hailemariam suggested Ethiopia could continue its fight against al Shabaab, but in other parts of Somalia. "Somalia is one of Ethiopia's main security interest zones, so I don't think they would change policy drastically," said one Nairobi-based Western diplomat. "It's in Ethiopia's own interest that Somalia stays intact and that gains achieved are not lost once again."

FAO: Honorable the Speaker of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament, Mogadishu, Somalia FAO: Members of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament, Mogadishu, Somalia Cc: The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, His Excellency Hassan Sh. Mohamud, Mogadishu, Somalia Cc: The Prime Minister, Mr. Abdi Farah Shirdon, Mogadishu Subject: Petition for the recognition of Hiiraan region as a Member State of the Federal Republic of Somalia The undersigned people of Hiiraan region together with all Somalis who are committed to uphold peace, justice, and true reconciliation would like to submit this petition on the above subject Hiiraan region is the only region that remained undivided out of the eight original regions that constituted the Republic of Somalia. The military regime decided to divide all the original regions into 2 or 3 regions thus multiplying 7 regions into 17 regions while Hiiraan region remained the only undivided region out of the original eight. The rationale of such decision is beyond the scope of this petition but it is now a significant hobble for any attempt to establish a fair and viable federal system in Somalia. In terms of demographics Hiiraan region tailed only Benadir and Alto Giubba as the third largest region, in terms of population. It is therefore unfair to the people of Hiiraan to be kept as only one unit of the 18 units; rather than a (relatively greater) unit of the 8 units. On July 23rd, 2012, the people of Hiiraan have finally marked a milestone in their quest for Member-Statehood when President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed issued a presidential decree that partitioned the region into: Hiiraan and Upper Shabelle. Representatives of Hiiraan region at the 825-member National Constituent Assembly vehemently objected the articles 48 (2) and 49 (6) of the Provisional Constitution which state that "two or more regions may merge to form a Federal Member State" as unanimously agreed the discriminatory nature towards the Hiiraan region vis a vis the other 17 regions in forming the Federal State. Representatives of Hiiraan region at the 825-member National Constituent Assembly vehemently objected the articles 48 (2) and 49 (6) of the Provisional Constitution which state that "two or more regions may merge to form a Federal Member State" as unanimously agreed the discriminatory nature towards the Hiiraan region vis a vis the other 17 regions in forming the Federal State. Given the facts stated above, we request the honorable Members of the House of the People of the Federal Parliament of Somalia either Granting Hiiraan region a Special Status Member State that would allow it to stand by itself as Member State without seeking to merge with another region. This would rectify the direct discrimination that kept Hiiraan region as one unit while the remaining 7 regions generated further 10 regions. To honor the former President's decree and circulated in government bulletin which partitioned Hiiraan region into Hiiraan and Upper Shabelle regions thus enabling the formation of a joint member-state.The above decree should have the same legal weight as per the precedent Presidential decree that have reformed the regions of Somalia from 8 to 18. To amend art. 49 (5)of the Provisional Constitution that obliges the federal system to be based on 18 regions that existed in 1991 and re-affirm the original format of 8 regions of Somalia thus allowing the Hiiraan region to maintain its current status quo. People from Hiiraan region and every Somali who joined this petition will utilize all fair and open procedures until  realizing the right of regional self-rule; while remaining loyal to the system of statehood enshrined in the Provisional Constitution of the Somali Federal Republic
