hadhwanaag 2008-02-18 (Hadhwanaagnews) 20-ka Febarweri waa xus iyo xusuus ma guuraan ah oo aan gedmasho lahayn, baalka taariikhda ummadeed ee dahabiga ahna ugu xardhamaysa oo u gashay maalin ku suntan gadood dadweyne iyo dhiirrasho dhallinyaro midiidin diid ah oo dulmi iyo xaqdarro ka dhiidhiyaysa. Allayle waa hog, shaxaan la hilmaamin! Ummad aan taariikh sugan lahayni, waa ummad aan jiritaan sugan lahayn! Waxa ay ku beegnayd gadoodkii ardayeed ee 20-kii February iyo maalmihii ku xigey ee sannadkii 1982 ka oogmey magaalada Hargeysa. Dheg-ka-maqal iyo sheeko iguma soo gaadhin ee waxa aan ka mid ahaa shaahidkeedii, qabanqaabiyaasheedii iyo ka-qayb-galayaasheedii. Sidaas darteed waa waajib dareenku igu duduucayo in aan maanta 26 sannadood ka dib ereyo ka idhaahdo dhacdadaas taariikhiga ah saamaynteeda gobolka iyo noloshii siyaasadeed ee xilligaas ka dhisaallayd. Waxaan uga qaybgalay si firfircoon oo aan hadhsiimo iyo hoyasho lahayn. Waxaan ahaa arday dhigta Dugsiga Sare ee Faarax Oomaar oo ku yaalla duleedka bogcaddii uu gadoodkaygu ka bilaabmay oo ahayd Maxkamaddii la keenayey inammadii xidh xidhnaa, macaallimiintayadii, dhakhaatiirtii iyo aqoontii ummaddayada. Saamaynta dareenka ee dhacdadaas taariikhiga ah marka maanta dib u qiimeeyo, waxa ay ahayd saamayn weyn oo bar bilow u ahayd in si ficil ah loogu dhaqaaqo oo badheedh looga hor yimaaddo maamulayaashii xaaduqa ahaa ee taliskii keli taliska ahaa ee Hargeysa ku sugnaa. Dhagaxtuurka iyo tallaabooyinkii ku lammaanaa iyo fal celintii taliska oo ahayd in la sii kordhiyo cadaadiskii iyo cabudhintii dadka lagu hayey, waxa ay ahaayeen waxyaabihii soo dedejiyey in dad badani ku qulqulaan oo ku biiraan fadhiisimadii cusbaa ee SNM ka yagleelaysey gudaha Itoobiya dhulka ku teedsan xuduudda labada dal. Arday badan oo ka mid ahayd hormoodkii dhagaxtuurka, ayaa ka mid ahaa dadkii ku biiray SNM ee qoriga qaatay oo aan aniguba ka mid ahaa. Dalka oo dhan buu gadoodkaasi saamayn weyn ku yeeshay oo gilgiley. Talis kelidii taliye ah oo xoog, xabbad iyo jujuub wax ku wada oo aan cidina ka daba juuq odhan karin, ayaa dhallinyaro madfacoodu dhagax ay tuurayaan ahaa ka hor yimaaddeen oo u jilib dhigeen. Astaan geesinnimo iyo naf hurnimo ayay saamayntu noqotay. In “MAYA, MAYA” la odhan karo oo la diidi karo “YEEL” ayay saamayntu ahayd, taliskana u quus goyn ayay u ahayd. Hambaaber dhowaanta Dareen ma hurdaana Dagaal wata heeso Hidday u lahayde Hargeysi ma toostay Hoggaanka ma diiddey Harqoodka ma tuurtay In aanay hummaagga Hadoodilan yeelin Sidii hebed geela Hashii Nebi Saalax Horaaddada dhiiban Hankeedu ma siiyey Waxay hibanayso Ninkay la hadlayso Hagaag ma u sheegtay Hadday samo weydo Inay hantideeda Nafteeda hurayso Hubaal ma caddaysay. Allayleha waa hog Shax aan la hilmaamin! Malaa Hugur tiisa Waxaabu u haystey Inaan Hayal toosan Harraati aqoone Maskii Hilqadaale Ma soo hardaf duulay. Wallee hagardaamo Falkaagu habeensey Higlooy gabbalkaa dhac! Markii laga war helay ee aannu ogaanney in berrito aroornimadkii (20/02/1982) inammadii UFO maxkamadda la keenayo waxa bilaabmay ruxan weyn oo runtii magaalada saaqay oo ku baahayey habeenkii oo dhan. Guuxa dadku meel walba wuu gilgilayey. Intii is taqaan ama macaariif ahiba si gooniya ayay wax u wada gorfaynayeen. Waxa laga sinnaa dareen ah in arrinta inammadu iska dhan tahay oo wax maxkamadi xukumaysaa aanay hadda jirine xukun hore loo sii qorsheeyey oo dil ah uun ay maxkamaddu ku dhawaaqi doonto. Sidaas darteed waxa lagu wada qanacsanaa in berrito maxkamadda lagu wada kallaho. Dad badani habeenkaas il iyo baal isuma aanay keenin oo jiif iyo joogba waa la is diiddanaa. Waxaannu go’aansannay arday aannu asxaab ahayn iyo anigu in aanan berrito dugsiyada xaadirin. Habeenkii guryahayaga umaannu hoyan. Hurdaba maannu ledin. Waxannu isu qaybinnay dugsiyada sare in subaxdii laga hawl galo oo ardayda lagu dhiirri geliyo in ay maxkamadda u yimaaddaan si isku xidhan. Meel walba waxaa ka socday dadaal noocaas ah. Ma jirin cid ama dallaayad dadaalladaas isku duwaysaa. Hase yeeshee dareenka dadkaa meel u wada hoggaansanaa: In maxkamadda dilka ah la baajiyo, inammadana loo hiiliyo ayaa lagu kulansanaa. Anigu dugsigayga Faarax Oomaar oo maxkamadda u dhow, ayaan qaabbilsanaa. Dharkii Balcadda ahaa (shaadh cad oo gacmo gaab ah iyo surwaal kaaki ah oo lugo dheere ah) maanu qaadan subaxdaas intaydii xalayto wax wada gorfaynaysey. Maxkamadda ayaannu ku waaberiisanney. Si xoog ah ayaa loogu soo gurmayey markii salaadda subax la tukadeyba. 9:00 subaxnimo maxkamadda iyo agagaarkeeda ushii cirkaas loo tuuraa dhulka kumaanay dhacayn. Dadweyne kala duwan oo dumar iyo dhallinyaro u badnaa ayaa arladaba haystey oo maxkamadda ku gadaannaa. Nusasaacaha (Nasashada) xilliga loo baxo, ayaannu diyaar ku wada ahayn dugsiyada hortooda meelaha ardaydu ka nusasaacayso, si ardaydu marka ay fasallada ka soo baxaan dhinaca maxkamadda loogu soo hago. Wacaasha iyo waayaha Hargeysi ku waaberiisatey saaka ardaydu way ku wada baraarugsanaayeen oo ma adkayn in ficilo la horqaadaa. Reer Faarax Oomaar waxa ay u nusasaace tageen dhankii maxkamadda. Xitaa intii ka maagaysey ee daba yar giijinaysey waxa jiitey mawjaddii socotey. Ardaydii dugsiga 26-ka Juun ayaa iyana soo dhaadhacay oo maxkamadda shafka soo saaray. Waxa la isku soo wada gadaamay maxkamaddii. Shaadhadhkii cadcaddaa iyo surwaalladii kaakiga ahaa ee ardayda, ayaa si waafi ah uga dhex muuqday oo hadheeyey dadkii maxkamadda horteeda sidii kaarbedka oo kale ku goglanaa. Mar keliya ayaa la is gaadhiiyey dareen xambaarsan in inammadii maxkamadda xaggeeda dambe laga soo geliyey oo la xukumayo. “Gacan Nebi nin doonow gacantaa ha samaato”. Dhulka ayaa la taabtay. Dhagaxa iyo shiidka ayaa hadhka lagaga dhigayaa askartii maxkamadda hor tubnayd. Tacshiirad rasaaseed ayay dhagixii askartu kaga jawaabayaan. Maqalkii rasaastu waxa uu soo kiciyey dadkii magaalada oo dhan. Ardaydii dugsiyada sare iyo dhexe, ayaa qolo kastaa halkeeda ka soo dhaqaaqday. Muddaharaad ayaa dhinac walba ka soo bilaabmay. Faras magaalaha ilaa shacabka (xafiisyada dawladda iyo maxkamadda) ayaa dadku is qabsaday. Waxaa ka dhacay wixii la ogaa ee toogasho iyo dil lahaa, xadhig iyo cadaadis lahaa iyo dhinaca kale mintidnimo iyo kacdoon dhiirran lahaa. Maanta marka garaadka lagu dhereriyo waxa uu dhagaxtuurkaasi ahaa mid u abaabulnaa sidii quluubta dadku isugu xidhnayd. Ma jirin xaqiiqadii meel wadne ah oo laga hagayey muddaharaadyadaas maalmaha socdey ee ay ardaydu hormoodka ka ahayd. Dadaal isku ujeeddo ah oo iniba ay meel ka waddey, ayaa ahaa dhaqaajiyaha dhagaxtuurka. Dhagaxtuurkaas Hargeysa ka dhacay 20-kii Feebarweri iyo maalmihii ka dambeeyey ee sannadkii 1982, wuu minjo baxdasay. Bishii Mey 1-dii ayay ardayda Burco muddaharaad kan Hargeysa ku xidhiidhsan ka dhigeen magaaladaas Burco. Waxa muddaharaadka Burco hal-ku-dhig u ahaa: Burco iyo Hargeysi waa laba mataano ah Waxay Hargeysi doonto doonnay Waxay Hargeysi diiddo diidney! 20-ka February waa maalin ku astaysan oo suulka iyo saxeexeedu yahay dhiirrasho iyo naf hurnimo xaraar taagan, taas oo ka mid ah hubkii cuslaa ee lagula dagaal galay Taliskii Maxamed Siyaad Barre ee keli taliska ahaa iyo tamartii kor u qaadday awooddii siyaasiga ahayd ee SNM oo markaas (hortii 1982) aan lahayn cudud ciidan oo weyn iyo saamayn siyaasadeed oo ballaadhan toonna. 20-ka Febarweri waa xus iyo xusuus ma guuraan ah oo aan gedmasho lahayn, baalka taariikhda ummadeed ee dahabiga ahna ugu xardhamaysa oo u gashay maalin ku suntan gadood dadweyne iyo dhiirrasho dhallinyaro midiidin diid ah oo dulmi iyo xaqdarro ka dhiidhiyaysa.

Waxa Khamiistii 14 February xabsiga magaalada Laascanood loo taxaabay wiil iyo gabadh is mehersaday, kadib markii si ay jacaylkooda uga midho-dhaliyaan ay gabadhu lacagtii guurkooda ka xaday qoyskooda. Sidaana waxa Jamhuuriya u xaqiijiyey saraakiil ka tirsan ciidanka Booliska magaalada Laascaanood ee xarunta Gobolka Sool. “Waxa la xidhay kadib markii gabadhu qoyskooda ka xaday lacag dhan $500 doollar, isla markaana gacanta ka gelisay wiilka jacaylku ka dhexeeyo si ay isugu guursadaan.” Sidaa waxa yidhi Taliyaha Laanta Baadhista Danbiyada ee Laascaanood Cali Jaamac Aadan oo weriyaha Jamhuuriya ee Gobolka Sool Mr. Gadari wax ka weydiiyey sababta loo xidhay lammaanaha is-caashaqay. Dhacdadan oo ah mid si weyn u soo jiidatay dareenka dadweynaha ku dhaqan magaalada Laascaanood ee xarunta Gobolka Sool, kadib markii ay ciidanka Boolisku xidheen lammaanaha jacaylkoodu xadhigga u horseeday, isla markaana xidhiidhkooda jacayl soo ifbaxay markii ay wiilka iyo gabadha is-jeclaaday ay booliska ka dalbeen in qol lagu wada xidho. Wiilka iyo gabadha arrintani ku dhacday oo iyagu ka gaabsaday inay sheegaan magacyadooda, ayaa waxa uu wiilku gabadha ka codsaday si ay isu guursadaan inay lacag u soo qaado, kadibna gabadha iyo wiilka oo xidhiidh caashaq oo xooggani ka dhexeeyey, ayaa iyada oo qadarinaysa codsiga jacaylkeeda waxay u keentay lacag ay ka soo xaday qoyskooda oo cadadkeedu dhan yahay $500 (shan boqol) oo dollarka Maraykanka ah, kuwaas oo markii dambena isla baxsaday, kadibna isa soo mehersaday, dabadeedna waxay ku soo noqdeen magaalada Laascaanood. Haseyeeshee, markii qoyska gabadhu ******** in ay inantoodii iyo lacagtiiba maqan yihiin, ayaa baadhitaan kadib la soo qabtay, iyada oo markaa ka dibna labadoodaba lagu xidhay Saldhigga Dhexe ee Laascaanood, haseyeeshee markii la xidhayey waxay lammaanahani ka dalbadeen Booliska in aan lagu kala xidhin laba meelood ee isku meel lagu xidho, maadaama ay si weyn isu jecel yihiin. Arrintan oo ah mid aan nooceeda oo kale hore uga dhicin degaannada magaalada Laascaanood, ayaa noqotay mid aad loogu sheekaysto, isla markaana dadweynuhu si weyn u xiisaynayeen hadal-haynteeda. Waxaanay ku soo beegantay wakhtigii loo dabbaal-degayay maalinta loo bixiyey ‘Maalinta jacaylka adduunka’ oo ku beeganayd 14 bisha February 2008. Faaisa Cabdi Dhalac Lascanood, Somaliland

I think i'm in love with the green tea.

ABU DHABI (QARAN)- The President of Somaliland, Mudane Dahir Rayale Kahin and his delegation have arrived on an a visit to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The President and his delegation today attended a luncheon given by the Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayid Al Nahayan, the UAE deputy Prime Minister and the chair of the UAE Red Crescent, according to sources close to the delegation. The President and his delegation are expected to meet with the Red Crescent Society on Tuesday, February, 19th, to engage in discussions on several projects in Somaliland, including major rehabilitation of the roads in Somaliland. The President's visit to the region, whilst low profile, appears to be opening areas of engagements between the Arab nations and Somaliland. Several Arab countries, in particular Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have been reluctant to consider the Somaliland issue, however, as a result of the recent visit by President Rayale to the United States and the reciprocal visit by the United States by Assistant Secretary of State, Dr. Jendayi Frazer, there appears to more flexible approach towards the Republic of Somaliland in the Arab world. President Rayale and his delegation are also expected to meet with the large Somaliland community in the United Arab Emirates in the next few days, before heading for visits to other countries in the region.

ABU DHABI, (Qaran)-Madaxweynaha Somaliland Dahir Rayaale Kaahin iyo weftiga la socda oo shalay socdaal aan rasmi ahayn ku yimid Abu Dhabi, Caasimadda Isutaga Imaaraadka Carabta, ayaa maanta qado sharaf la wadaagay Sheikh Xamadaan bin Zaayid Al Nahyaan oo ah ku-xigeenka Raysul Wasaaraha isla markaana ah Guddoomiyaha Bisha Cas ee Imaaraadka Carabta. Sida aan ka helay ilo-xogogaal ah waxa la filayaa in uu Madaxweynuhu maalinta Salaasada 20 Feb. 2008 la kulmo madaxda Ururka Bisha Cas oo la filayo in ay Somaliland ka caawiyaan mashaariic dhawr ah oo ka mid yihiin dibu-dhiska waddooyinka dalka. Socdaalka Madaxweynaha ayaa la filayaa in uu furay xidhiidhkii go’anaa ee Carabta iyo Somaliland. Inta badan Carabta oo ay hor kacayaan Masar iyo Sucuudiga ayaa ka hor jeeday in la soo dhaweeyo Somaliland, laakiinse socdaalkan oo ka dambeeyey safarkii Madaxweyne Rayaale ku tegay Maraykan iyo booqashadii ay Jendayi Frazer ku timid Hargaysa ayaa tilmaamaya in Maraykanku lug ku leeyahay. Madaxweynuhu waxa la filayaa in uu dadka Reer Somaliland la kulmo maalmaha soo socda, waxana laga yaabaa in uu Imaaraadka u dhaafo dalal Carbeed oo kale.

what is the problem with the Internet ??

Abu dabay(Qaran)-Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyada Somaliland iyo wafti uu hogaaminaayo ayaa maanta galinkii danbe soo gaadhay magaalada Abudabay ee dalka Isku taga Imaaradka Carabta, madaxweynaha iyo waftigiisa oo si heersare ah xagaasi loogu qaabilay markii ay ka soo dageen garoonka diyaaradaha ee Abudabay ayaa waxa loo qaaday Hotel-kii loogu talogalay oo ka mid ah Hotel-ada ugu waawaeyn dalkaasi. Madaxweynaha oo socdaal rasmi ah ku jooga hada dalka Isu taga Imaaraadka Carabta waxa lagu wadaa in uu u sii dhaafo dalka Sucuudiga xagaasi oo uu madaxweynaha iyo waftigiisuba ay ka heleen martiqaad rasmi ah. Wararka ay qarannews ka heshay ilo mihiim ah ayaa xaqiijinaaya in madaxweynahu uu sidoo kale booqasho rasmi ah uu ku tagi doono dalka Masar halkaasi oo uu casuumad ka helay xukumada Xusni Mubaarik, ilaa hada ma jiraan wax war ah oo rasmi ah oo ka soo baxay socdaalka madaxweynaha oo ka soo baxay xukumada Somaliland, hase ahaatee waxa la filayaa in warsaxaafdeed ku saabsan socdaalka madaxweynaha uu ka soo baxo xukumada madaxweynaha. Sida ay doontaba ha ahaatee socdaalkan uu madaxweyne Rayaale ku maraayo wadamada Carabta waa guul u soo hoyatay siyaasda arimaha dibada ee xukumada Somaliland iyo guud ahaan shicib weynaha reer Somaliland, iyada oo madaxweynaha iyo waftigiisu ay hadaku socdaalayaan basaaboorka Jamhuuriyada Somaliland oo hore ay ugu isticmaaleen wadamada qaarada Afrika ,Yurub America. Waxa hubaal ah socdaalkan balaadhan ee uu madaxweyne Rayaale ku maraayo dalalka Carabta in uu ku qancin doono dalakaasi in ayna ka hadhin Somaliland ee ay aqoonsadaan iyada oo caalmku uu hada u soo jeedo aqoonsiga Somaliland, madaxweyne Rayaale ayaa hore fariin ugu diray Jamacada Carabta una sheegay in Somaliland ayna ahayn dal ka go'aaya Jamacada Carabta ee ay yihiin uun dal ku soo biiraaya Jamacda Carabta oo ay haboontahay in Somaliland la siiyo kursiga ay ku yeelan doonto Jamacada Carabta. Dhanka kalena socdaalkan Rayaale uu ku maraayo dalalka Carabta ayaa aha socdaalkii noociisa ah ee madax heerkaas lehi ay ku tagaan dalalka Carabta, iayada oo dalalka Carabtu ay hore uga soo hor jeedeen gooni isu taaga Somaliland ayaa hada waxa aad u soo hagaagaaya oo uu socdaalka madaxweyne Rayaale uu soo afjari doonaa is fahmlaan aan meelna ku salysnayn oo dhex taalay dalalka Carabta iyo Somaliland, madaxweyne Rayaale ayaa hore u booqday dalka Yemen kadib markii uu marti qaad ka helay madaxweynaha dalka Yemen, markana waa markii labaad ee madaxweyne Ryaale uu safar shaqo ugu soo bax dalal ka mid ah dalalka Carabta oo uu ku dhex mushaaxaayo basaaboorka Somaliland, taasi oo uu hore dalka Yemen ugu isticmaalay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee xidhiidhka Somaliland iyo dalalka Carabta oo hagaaga waxa aad u soo dhawaynaaya kumanaanka kun ee reer Somaliland ee qaarna ku noolyihiin dalaka Carabta qaarkooda ay ganacsi u tagaan, siiba dhoofinta xoolaha nool iyo keenista alaabooyinka kala gadisan ee laga soo iibsado dalalka Carabta, taasi oo labada dhanba ay dan aad u weyni ugu jirto Source Qarannews

By Jaalala It is an understatement to say that what is happening to regular citizens of Somalia is shameful. As usual, African politicians and the elite are manipulating civilians to implement their destructive economic and political ambitions. The people of Somalia, (like those in Congo, Kenya and in volatile frontiers of Nigeria, Sudan and Ethiopia) are tired of endless civil wars, insurgency and counter insurgency. The 17 years of civil war in Somalia has not persuaded the Somali elites to change their mind about demonizing neighboring Ethiopia and seeking to change boundaries for “Greater Somalia.” Instead of Africa uniting and OPENING its borders back to what it used to be before Europeans drew up the current boundary lines, we are alll stuck sustaining them at the expense of the blood of the innocents who deserve better. Keeping the restrictive and un-African idea of penciled sovereignty alive, here we are again, fighting endless wars to defend our countries mapped by Europeans. Ironically, any one of today’s provinces in “our country” can become another sorereign independent country after a successful separatist movement “liberates” “their country” thus perpetuating the bloodshed until another separatist movement liberates “their country.” A good example of this cycle has been the Eritrean liberation movement that “liberated” what used to be the Eritrean province inside Ethiopia, but now, new separatist groups inside the "liberated" Eritrea (Kunama and Afar) are trying to “liberate” “their country” from Eritrea. The ****** and Oromia regions are also other similar examples of this African crisis. When will all this end? Unfortunately, the bloodshed and separatist movements will never end in this part of Africa unless present sovereign nations respect borders and stop both separatist & irredentist ideologies like “Greater Somalia” or end Ethiopian ambitions for Eritrea’s Assab coast. If none of the Horn of Africa countries respect each other’s boundaries, then each will support the separatist of another country just like Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea have been manipulating separatist movements of another country like a chess game waiting for a check mate at the expense of civilians. At this time, if egos are not buried and if Eritrea & Ethiopia don’t find a solution to their border problem, then there will never be peace in the region, especially in Somalia. 14 months ago, the opponents of the Somalia transitional federal government (TFG) going to Eritrea when Ethiopia entered Mogadishu was a projected move. Unfortunately, that move was also the END of Somali reconciliation, not its beginning. For Eritrea, the radical Islamists are only a tool against Ethiopia. In fact, before helping the islamist, the Eritrean government was helping some of the warlord leaders of the now TFG for many years since 1993. So ideologically, the Eritrean government has no similarity with the radical islamists. Eritrea is just acting opportunist and supporting any group until it check mates Ethiopia. The same way, the Eritrean government was forced to help ethnic liberation movements like OLF and ONLF but it doesn’t share the ideology of ethnic liberation movements (just like Eritrea worked with TPLF temporarily to defeat Mengistu regime, but Eritrea never shared the ethnic politics of TPLF.) Eritrea’s survival depends on the failure of ethnic movements like OLF and ONLF because Eritrea’s multi-ethnic society will be in danger if ethnic states bloom in the horn of Africa. Similarly, the Ethiopian government has no ideological similarity with TFG since the TFG does not support Somaliland’s independence. Many Ethiopians prefer Somaliland independence in order to weaken the “Greater Somalia” ambitions. So both Ethiopia and Eritrea are supporting all these groups they never even liked, in order to jab at each other because of the unresolved border dispute between Eritrea & Ethiopia. Therefore, the first step to solve regional crisis is to solve the boundary disputes between Eritrea and Ethiopia. Otherwise it is useless. The Islamist Somali opposition in Eritrea is the tool of the Eritrean government. It is unrealistic to imagine that the Eritrean government will give up its precious tool, free of charge, by allowing reconciliation to happen between the Somali opposition in Eritrea and the TFG in Mogadishu. Thus, the pre-condition for a successful reconciliation of Somalis is the Somali opposition exiting Eritrea as soon as possible and going to neutral countries in Africa or Europe. After finding a neutral location and after starting reconciliation, the second step for a successful Somali reconciliation is the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops. However, the next question will be; what will happen if there is a stable Somalia government? Once again, the current horn of Africa political doctrine will not bring peace even if Somalis reconcile to create a stable government. Even if the Somali opposition reconciles with the TFG to establish a stable government in Mogadishu, Ethiopia should be ready for a Somalia invasion (just like 1977) because both the Islamists and the TFG want “Greater Somalia” sooner or later. Maybe in one year, maybe in ten years – sooner or later another Somali invasion for “Greater Somalia” is inevitable. This is the dismal reality of this region. As soon as stability is established, un-African, non-indigenous political ambitions will bring more chaos once again. On one side, Somalia wants to eventually annex eastern Ethiopia and eastern Kenyan regions because these regions are inhabited by Somali speaking people. On the other side, Ethiopia and Kenya want to keep their “sovereign” territories closed off, including those inhabited by Somali speaking people. The clash of these two contradicting ideas can never bring peace in this region. These boundary disputes and dilemmas exist in many others corners of the horn of Africa. They are dilemmas created by the forced carving out of multi-ethnic nations all around Africa by the European powers of the past as much as they are dilemmas created by ethnocentric groups who want to create ethnic Republics. Even if the TFG miraculously reconciles with the Islamist opposition, the underlying or the FUNDAMENTAL problems of this region will not be solved. The only way to solve them is by dropping imported ideologies of territories being “sovereign” & closed, by opening up borders, by putting economic advancement over political ambitions and by going back to traditional remedies at the grassroots local level.

hadhwanaag 2008-02-17 (Hadhwanaagnews) The quest for international recognition is practically legit, as it is known world wide that Somaliland historically existed as a separate country with internationally recognized borders. It gained its independence on June 26, 1960 and existed for five days as a sovereign state. Somaliland voluntarily entered a union with southern Somalia on July 1, 1960. During that time, the sentiment of nationalism were all time high and Somalilanders were so enamored with the idea of bringing all ethnic Somali speaking communities under one nation (NFD, Djibouti and ******). The euphoria of nationalistic tendencies that existed in the 1960s – creation of greater Somalia - influenced Somalilanders to rush to the ill-fated union. Considering the contemporary geo-politics as relates to international terrorism and the opportunities available for Somaliland, I intend to articulate the following four items: - 1. Internal Critics of Somaliland. 2. External Critics of Somaliland 3. Geo-politics and the rise of international terrorism. Internal Critics of Somaliland The source of the internal critics, envious dislike as it could be, tends to spread from Southern Somalia. The factional leaders in Southern Somalia were unable to lift their country from the chaos and anarchy, which are the hallmarks of Mogadishu. Likewise, the UN-backed transitional government is also failing miserably, as some major clans refused to support the leadership of Abdillahi Yusuf. Therefore, the leaders of the south were not successful to map out a viable political agreement intended to rebuild the fundamental foundations of civil society. Ironically, the only known agreement the factional leaders in Southern Somalia have in common is not to allow the restoration of Somaliland independence. Understandably, the binding clue that used to counterbalance and keep the defunct Somali Republic together suddenly vanished from the scene. They desperately need a new strong molecular structure capable of replacing the missing link. For that matter, the argument of internal critics to oppose the restoration of Somaliland independence is utter non-sense, as they invoke the sacred nature of Somali unity. This pro unity block tends to ignore two fundamental historical instances. Somalia and Somaliland were two separate entities before the union with internationally known demarcated borders. In addition, these two entities were colonized by two different Europeans powers. Somalia was administered under the Italian trusteeship, while Somaliland was a British protectorate. Furthermore, the so called union between the two Somali states was unlawful and never enacted into the law, since the parliaments of Somaliland and Somalia did not ratify it as a single act of union. External Critics of Somaliland Most of the external critics are from Africa and the Arab world. The crux of their argument have been all along that the recognition of Somaliland could set a precedent for other secession movements seeking to change colonial-era borders, opening a Pandora's box in the region. This line of reasoning, imaginative as it is can no longer withstand the afore-mentioned historical facts. Somaliland also meets the Montevideo criteria for statehood. It has a permanent population, defined territory, a government and capacity to enter into relations with the other states. Therefore, its endeavor to secure international recognition conforms to generally established international law Geo-politics and the rise of international terrorism In light of the so-called global terrorism, the international geo-politics have been going through a radical transformation. It is no secret that the USA is determined to establish its military presence in Africa, with the objective of putting at bay the spread of Al Qaida in the Horn of Africa. Even though the American forces are operating at neighboring Djibouti , the facilities available there are no match to that in Berbera, not to mention the hostile climate and the rough terrain they are faced with. Consequently, the Americans are fully aware of the strategic importance of Somaliland, particularly the giant airport at Berbera costal area. The international communities can no longer ignore the ongoing progress of Somaliland. It is an entity that works, despite its meager economy; all government organs are functioning adequately. Stability and peace is prevailing through out the country, while southern Somalia is plunged into gun-fuelled anarchy. Every citizen is guaranteed political freedom, personal security, the rule of law, freedom of expression and equality of opportunity. Democracy is flourishing through multi party system. Elections were held at presidential, parliamentarian and municipal levels. These elections were monitored by foreign observers and were declared as being conducted openly, fairly, honestly and in accordance with internationally recognized elections procedures. Somaliland certainly demonstrated all the attributes of viable and vibrant state, and this earned her to be referred as Africa’s best kept secret. This state is definitely enjoying a highly accelerated momentum to achieve its recognition, that is why the nations of the world including USA, Europe and Africa are becoming receptive to its case. The African Union continues to deliberate on this issue of Somaliland recognition. In May 2007 the European Parliament called upon the Council and Commission to investigate Somaliland's request for independence. In addition, the United States of America commenced to engage Somaliland to establish working bi-lateral relations. Lately, the international media have been speculating that USA is about to recognize Somaliland, due to the fact that some members of the US congress introduced a draft bill that could pave the way for recognition of Somaliland as an independent state by the United States of America. As a result, the external constraints in the pursuit of its goal appear to be losing significant grounds to the viability and rightfulness to restore its independence and eventually become a fully recognized nation. Without a doubt, the much-awaited recognition of Somaliland is finally on the horizon, as the officials of the government intensified their diplomatic lobbying to achieve the objective of its indigenous citizens. Recently the president of Somaliland and high-ranking delegation paid an official visit to Great Britain and United States of America. Apart from other issues of mutual interest, rest assured that the question of awarding diplomatic recognition to Somaliland was raised and thoroughly discussed during the meetings the president had with the officials in UK and USA. Conclusion Since the interest of sovereign nations is the determining factor of their geo-political and economic relations; the government of US decided to engage Somaliland to enhance its strategic interests in the region. Therefore, the ramifications of these bi-lateral relations will be conducive to the advancement of Somaliland aspirations, both politically and economically including the recognition issue. Even though the United States policy would like to defer to the African Union as the appropriate forum to address the recognition issue, but it clearly indicates its willingness to follow up the developments of the issue. Furthermore, the recent visit of Dr. Jendayi Frazer the Assistant Secretary of State for African affairs on Hargeisa the capital city of Somaliland attests to US determination to encourage African Union to address the recognition of Somaliland. Dr. Jendayi Frazer stated that the United States would like to see an African Union to send another fact finding mission to Somaliland. Finally, the day of reckoning is fast approaching if it didn’t already arrive. Somaliland is poised to reap the fruits of its efforts in nation building and good governance. The mind set of the international community is on its side to grant recognition. Therefore, the internal critics ought to understand that it is inherently unnatural and contrary to the cosmic forces of nature to quarrel with an indigenous community set to repossess its rightful belongings. The restoration of Somaliland independence is that it gained from Great Britain; regretfully, it is that we shared and united with you for the sole purpose of achieving Greater Somalia. Our people paid a humongous price to repossess their sovereignty. It will be defended very fiercely to the last blood. Let those who entertain the foal’s game be aware.

According to Open Doors’ 2008 World Watch List, Somalia and Ethiopia are two of the countries that improved human rights for Christians. The annual Christian persecution list moved Somalia from 4th of the bottom up to the 12th place, an improvement mainly related to the recent establishment of a secular government. Despite the improvement, persecution of Somali Christians is still widespread in the country and wherever overt harassment is absent, Christians are often ostracized by the Somali community. Citizens of Somalia are almost entirely Sunni Muslims, with only a few hundred Christians. As an indication to severity of the religious persecution, many Christians have left Somalia during the civil wars while the Archbishop of the country’s cathedral left almost two decades ago. In contrast, the northern region of Somaliland has been a noticeable exception for years, with its better religious freedom in particular and a progress towards democracy in general. According to figures from the 2008 report of Freedom House, after the northern Turkish region of Cyprus, Somaliland is the second closest to a democracy in the world compared to various “disputed territories” seeking UN recognition. Concerns of religious persecution exist in some southern parts of neighboring Ethiopia, particularly in the Somali speaking region of Ethiopia, where a house of a Christian family in the regional capital of Jijiga was targeted by religious fundamentalists in January. But both neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia improved in their world rankings on religious freedom, 49th and 43rd respectively, while conditions in Eritrea (11th worst) and Libya (23rd worst) reportedly declined last year. Worsening conditions for US allies North Korea took first place in the ranking of the most Christian persecuting nations, becoming the worst country for Christians in the world for the sixth year in a row. Human rights groups around the globe have condemned the institutionalized persecution of Christians in many of these top persecuting countries. One of the top American allies, Saudi Arabia, was ranked the second worst country for Christians, triggering more criticism on America’s foreign policy. In addition to Eritrea and Libya, Saudi Arabia was also one of the countries listed by the UN Security Council’s 2006 report about the source of support for the Al-Qaeda linked Islamic Courts Union (ICU) fighting the Somalia government in Mogadishu. However, Saudi Arabia is the largest U.S. export market in the Middle East and the world’s leading petroleum exporter, including around 20 percent of the total American imports of crude oil. Similarly, big Oil deals followed the restoration of American relations with Libya despite the religious and political conditions inside Libya, while US-Eritrea relations severely deteriorated. The annual report by the rights watchdog, Open Doors, relates to the sentiment of observers about the capability of the struggling Somalia government. Many believe there is a potential for positive changes towards religious tolerance in Somalia under the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein. In addition to building a secular government, the TFG has the potential to attract investment from the secular Somali Diaspora, which relates more with the secular elements of the TFG than with ICU’s radical interpretations of Islam. But parts of Mogadishu suffer under near-daily attacks from the radical Islamist insurgency which has increasingly benefited from its Somali nationalism rhetoric to enhance its support base.

Commentary Written by: Jamal Ali Hussein, An International banker with an MBA from Harvard University, USA. It was January 28th, 2007 as I boarded my plane from New York to London on my way to South Africa. I was reading the Financial Times when I noticed an article about Kosovo to declare Statehood, and how the European Union (EU) is setting the stage for Kosovo to be an internationally recognized State. I could not help myself asking questions like why on earth that the African Union (AU) is not playing the same role on my birth place of Somaliland? On May 18th, 2007, Somaliland Republic (former British Somaliland) celebrates 16 years of self-rule and thriving democracy since it has decided to re-instate its sovereign independence from Somalia after the fall of Siyad Barre regime in 1991. As a Somalilander myself who run away from Siyad Barre’s atrocities as a young man in the late 1980s and settled in the United States, I have a mixed feeling as I see my people celebrating the 16th anniversary of Somaliland’s birth. On one hand, I am extremely proud of the people of Somaliland, and its leaders for what they were able to achieve for the past 16 years. On the other hand, I am less excited, and amazed by lack of African Union’s role in leading the way to promote the Somaliland’s cause by sending a strong signal to other African countries that they do care and reward for peace, stability, and democracy (acknowledging people’s choice). It is very clear why European Union is very serious about the status of Kosovo. Answer: EU is planning to avoid risk of war and violence that would again destabilize the Balkans region. The million dollar question is why the African Union is not far sighted to avoid a potential and imminent war between Somalia’s Southern Leaders, and Somaliland that will undermine the stability of the whole region? Somali’s Southern Leaders are not known to respect the rule of law and the wishes of its citizens, it is the main reason that Somaliland people are fully determined to fight for its sovereign status following its roots of independence time from Great Britain on June 26th, 1960. Thirty one countries that are members of the United Nations recognized Somaliland as an independent state before uniting with the Italian Somaliland on July 1st, 1960 to form what was known as Somali Republic. Somaliland is only seeking recognition within the borders received at that moment. Somaliland, not officially recognized by any state, has been functioning as constitutional democracy with a President directly elected by the people, added by a parliament and local government also directly elected by the people. Somaliland did not even have a university for 31 years of union with the southern Somalia, and today they have four universities despite its lack of recognition. They have four private owned telephone and mobile operators where they did not have any in the past 31 years of union with the South. And the list goes on. Some people do not truly understand why people of Somaliland decided to go alone, and broke its partnership with the South. Some of the people even speculate that the issue of Somaliland is tied with the stability of the Southern Somalia, and the union will be back when the rest of the South becomes stable. As a matter of fact, there are many reasons why Somaliland re-took its independence, and broke its partnership, but in my personal view, I would only focus on two important reasons; British Somaliland has voluntarily entered a union with Italian Somaliland in pursuit of irredentist dream of “Greater Somalia” (including parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti). It was very clear to everybody in both regions that it was never intended to stop with the union of the two regions, but to pursue the other 3 remaining regions. Therefore, that dream has effectively died when Djibouti got its independence in 1977, and decided to go alone without joining the existing union. If Djibouti people had that freedom to make that choice, it is only fair that the people of Somaliland can make similar choices to decide on their faith. The main argument here is that the Somali union in 1960 did not achieve the reason it has been formed which was a greater Somalia, and Somaliland’s voluntary union at that time was based on that. And if that dream did not materialize, Somaliland could go alone like the other regions did where Somalis live including Djibouti, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Another very crucial point that made the people of Somaliland go on separate ways from the South is the suffering and injustices that the people of Somaliland endured for 31 years of marriage. They have suffered at the hands of Southern rule governments particularly during Siyad Barre’s 21-year rule. The whole world knows that those governments even bombarded Somaliland cities. Therefore, it is a trust issue. If you had a business partnership with another person and you have suffered and lost everything, and you re-start your business. Would you again trust to create another partnership with that person? It is fair to say that the people of Somaliland have a trust issue with their brothers in the South, and will not join them again with union despite a lack of recognition by the International community. Most Somalilanders, who only know Somaliland because they were either young or born after Somaliland re-took its independence in 1991, would tell you that if there was such a Southern domination in the past, it is certainly a history, only refers the unity in the past tense. It is important to note that AU sent a fact finding mission to Somaliland in 2005 in order to respond to the concern that Somaliland recognition would create a fragmentation of Somalia, or other AU member states, the African Union fact finding mission in 2005 concluded “the case should not be linked to the notion of “opening a Pandora box”, and the report recommended that AU “should find a special method of dealing with this outstanding case” as soon as possible. Unfortunately, AU actions stopped there. Why we Africans can not decide for ourselves, while Europeans are doing so and EU leading the way. I hope I can one day be proud of our African leaders through the African Union leadership when I see that they are taking a far sighted approach like the EU doing on Kosovo. The more the African Union delays dealing with the Somaliland case, the more it makes the situation in East Africa difficult, and risk of war, and even equally important the more the AU credibility is on the line. Somaliland case is a time bomb for the African Union and the International community could not really afford to ignore. On the other hand, Somaliland’s multi-party democracy system is rarity in Africa, and the Muslim World, and the African Union needs to seriously consider Somaliland’s formal application of AU membership to reward for people’s choice. Somaliland is a state where the power truly belongs to the people. Somaliland Times

PRISTINA, Serbia (AP) — Kosovo's prime minister said parliament will meet Sunday for a special session to declare the province's independence, a bold and historic bid for statehood in defiance of Serbia and Russia. By sidestepping the U.N. and appealing directly to the U.S. and other nations for recognition, Kosovo's independence sets up a showdown with Serbia — outraged at the imminent loss of its territory — and Russia, which warns of a dangerous precedent for separatist groups worldwide. The ethnic Albanian leadership scheduled the extraordinary parliamentary session for Sunday afternoon to proclaim the Republic of Kosovo and unveil the new country's flag and national crest. "We are on the brink of a very crucial moment — an important decision that will make us one of the free nations of the world," said Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army whose ethnic Albanian guerrillas clashed with Serb troops in a 1998-99 conflict that claimed 10,000 lives. President Bush, speaking in Tanzania on a tour of Africa, said the United States "will continue to work with our allies to the very best we can to make sure there's no violence" in the aftermath of Kosovo's proclamation. Underscoring Serbian anger, about 1,000 people staged a noisy protest in Belgrade on Saturday, waving Serbian flags and chanting "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia." Bush said it was in "Serbia's interest to be aligned with Europe and the Serbian people can know that they have a friend in America." He also praised Kosovo's government for showing "its willingness and its desire to support Serbian rights in Kosovo." Kosovo has formally remained a part of Serbia even though it has been administered by the U.N. and NATO since the war ended in 1999. The province is still protected by 16,000 NATO-led peacekeepers, and the alliance boosted its patrols over the weekend in hopes of discouraging violence. International police, meanwhile, deployed to back up local forces in the tense north. "It would be best for the Americans to take the Albanians to America and give them a part of their territory, so that they could have a small republic there," said Ljubinko Stefanovic, a resident of the ethnically divided northern town of Kosovska Mitrovica. At Sunday's ceremony, parliament speaker Jakup Krasniqi would read out the independence declaration in a live television broadcast, and lawmakers would be asked to adopt it. Krasniqi would then proclaim Kosovo independent from Serbia, and lawmakers would vote on the new nation's flag and crest. The Kosovo Philharmonic Orchestra planned to play Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" at a sports hall, where top leaders would gather for speeches and toasts. They planned to sign their names on giant iron letters spelling out "NEWBORN" to be displayed in downtown Pristina, the capital. Fireworks and an outdoor concert were scheduled for later in the evening. Spontaneous street celebrations broke out for a second straight night Saturday, with giddy Kosovars waving red and black Albanian flags and sounding car horns. "This will be a joyful day," said Besnik Berisha, a Pristina resident. "The town looks great, and the party should start." Ninety percent of Kosovo's 2 million people are ethnic Albanian — most moderate or non-practicing Muslims, the rest Roman Catholics — and they see no reason to stay joined to the rest of Christian Orthodox Serbia. With Russia, a staunch Serbian ally, determined to block the bid, Kosovo looked to the U.S. and key European powers for swift recognition of its status as the continent's newest nation. That recognition was likely to come Monday at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Belgium. Russian President Vladimir Putin, arguing that independence without U.N. approval would set a dangerous precedent for "frozen conflicts" across the former Soviet Union and around the world, pressured the Security Council to intervene. Serbia's government ruled out any military response as part of a secret "action plan" drafted earlier this week as a response, but warned that it would downgrade relations with any foreign government that recognizes Kosovo's independence.
