Somalia: A smiling new President for a country in desperation [Editorial] 2 Dec 2, 2012 - 6:22:32 AM GAROWE ONLINE EDITORIAL | President Hassan's "Manifesto" provides no vision for a national political system that has matured and benefited from the wise counsel of the bitter lessons of Somalia's troubled past. Somalis are famous for attaching nicknames to each other. Within a few weeks of his election via parliamentary vote as President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, held in Mogadishu on Sept. 10, 2012, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was nicknamed Hassan 'Qoslaye', or Hassan 'Smiley' in English. Photographs posted by state-run Radio Mogadishu website highlighting President Hassan's trip to Ethiopia last week include a revealing photograph of President Hassan sitting in the cockpit of an Ethiopian Airlines jet, smiling back at the camera. One hopes that, President Hassan is not as ill prepared to fly an airplane, as he is to lead a nation. Recently, President Hassan was visited by a mission dispatched by the U.N. Security Council to conduct an assessment of the U.N. mandate in post-transition Somalia. President Hassan undiplomatically handed the visiting U.N. team a 5-page document referred to as the "Manifesto" that he first published during the runner-up to the Sept. 10 election. The Manifesto contains President Hassan's vision while he was a presidential candidate; the "Six Pillar Policy" aims to "outline a public policy framework that sheds light on the top most priority issues and lay strong foundations for building reliable and functioning state institutions". By promoting that same document as President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has stamped his national vision for Somalia – a vision that, while it enshrines principles of governance and humanity, lacks the political depth that can deliver even a part of that vision and help Somalia recover from the ruins of war. No wonder President Hassan has been obsessively preoccupied with issues relating to the formation of 'Jubaland' administration in southern Somalia or receiving foreign delegations in Mogadishu, thereby sidelining the Prime Minister, instead of widening his focus to tackle priority national issues. The "Manifesto" includes clauses on security and national political system that seem to apply to all levels of government, and to all parts of Somalia. Naturally, any policy that aims to apply in parts of Somalia is shortsighted, impractical, and is more than likely to produce counter-productive results. His Manifesto calls for "establishment of regional and district security committees" from the center – or in this case, from the federal government in Mogadishu. Some have speculated that ex-President Abdiqassim Salat Hassan is a "close adviser" of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. With such centralist line of thought, one ponders the validity of the speculation. More over, President Hassan's "Manifesto" provides no vision for a national political system that has matured and benefited from the wise counsel of the bitter lessons of Somalia's troubled past. For example, the Manifesto makes no mention of federalism, and fails to posit propositions on how to deal with the secession of Somaliland, equaling the dismemberment of Somalia. Instead, President Hassan was caught commending the "Somaliland government and its people" for last week's local elections. While Somaliland should be commended for holding local elections, Somaliland should be equally criticized for using "military democracy" in Sool and Sanaag regions that support Puntland and remaining part of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Somaliland is well-known for sending election teams carrying ballot boxes, accompanied by military forces. President Hassan's message is similar to a message that a Somali President would express for elections in Kenya, or France. Are "Somaliland and its people" the same people Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is the President for, or has Hassan forfeited his authority as President of Somalia? Many things remain unclear, but President Hassan's smile will not save Somalia. Long gone is the euphoria of a peaceful election on Sept. 10, and now, the country needs visionary leadership to steer Somalia on the path towards national reconciliation, recovery, and rebuilding of a new Somalia, and deliver tangible results before public confidence dissipates.

Arman is good man and patriot. I hope they bring him in.

The President had a chance to meet President Obama earlier today at the White House, and that was a very strong signal to the people of Somalia of our continuing support and commitment Remarks of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud I am delighted to announce that for the first time since 1991, the United States is recognizing the Government of Somalia. Be happy for your country.

Puntland welcomes U.S. recognition of Somalia's new government 20 Jan 20, 2013 - 9:37:09 PM GAROWE, Somalia Jan. 20, 2013 (Garowe Online) - Somalia 's Puntland government says it welcomes the U.S. government 's official diplomatic recognition of the Somali Federal Government, Garowe Online reports. A press statement published today states that the U.S. has not recognized any national government in Somalia since 1991, while noting U.S. recognition as "a courageous and historic step in advancing U.S.-Somalia relations ". Continuing, the statement said that Puntland shares its "commendations with the U.S. Government, the Somali President [Hassan Sheikh Mohamud], and the people of Somalia as a whole ". The Puntland government statement noted the autonomous regio n 's contribution to the political process in Somalia to end the transitional period, while underling that the Puntland government "continues to contribute positively to strengthening peace, security and stability across Somalia ". Puntland called on the U.S. and other international partners "to continue supporting peace and stabilization, humanitarian aid, good governance, and economic development programs " in Somalia. The statement stressed the Puntland government 's expectations of the Somali Federal Government, which came to power in August 2012, noting in particular the issues of advancing federalism, fair allocation of international assistance to Somalia, promoting national reconciliation, and establishing the Upper House of the Somali Federal Parliament in accordance with the Somali Federal Constitution, the statement read. The statement concluded with a congratulatory mention of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "for her valued accomplishments during her years in public service ". Secretary Clinton met Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in Washington, D.C., on January 17, where Secretary Clinton fo rmal ly announced U.S. diplomatic recognition of a national government in Somalia for the first time since 1991. The Puntland government statement indicates the autonomous region 's support for the U.S. role in Somalia. The U.S. is among key nations in the world funding the AMISOM peacekeeping mission in Somalia, which has aided Somali government forces i n expelling Al Shabaab militants from key towns in south-central Somalia since 2011. On January 10, U.S. Special Representative to Somalia Ambassador James Swan visited Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole in Bossaso for discussions on a range of issues and to promote relations. http://www.garoweonline.com/artman2/publish/Somalia_27/Puntland_welcomes_U_S_recognition_of_Somalia_s_new_government.shtml

^You are one of them. Now stop being unruly, undisciplined pieces....

Now this makes sense, you were ignored n dissed...loool

*shakes head* But people have the right to be

^Giving more international legitimacy to this new admin at the expense of all regions in Somalia. It's no longer a conference of equals. Cameron and Hasan will be co-chairing the meeting.

Oodweyne's concerns are not unwarranted. Listen to this VOA interview with the President. Go to minute 40.50.

It's delicate balance and it seems Ambassador Swan's visit to Bososa on Janauary 10th delivered a message to Faroole. Their best bet is the tribal federalism.

Ace, I just was referring to your 'photo with Obama' comment. While it may not have direct effect on the ground, it did give the Somali legitimacy it covets in some circles and for a poor African in conflict, that's huge. Let's see what other countries follow suit in particular Britain who will be according to them will be co-hosting the conference with Somalia in May. But at the end, what will make difference for Somalis atleast how Xasan's admin make use of this opportunity. Rahima....I guess it's case work with you have, not what you like to have.

Nagadaa Ace, surely if that was Siilaanyo in the photo being endorsed by Obama admin, you would agree that would have complicated things for Somalia.

lol@wa shamsi, good times.
