HORSEED MEDIA

Puntland in 2010 has a few in common with Puntland in 2002 when forces led by Mohamud Musse Hersi (Puntland president 2005-2009) waged hit and run attacks against Puntland security forces. It was the decision to remove Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed (Puntland president 1998-2004) to be replaced by by Jama Ali Jama that threw Puntland into a security crisis. Traditional leaders elected the first Puntland president and disagreed on his removal, causing supporters of Jama Ali Jama to take up arms and set up a base at Ceel Afwayn where Somaliland administration supplied the militias of Mr Hersi with arms although Mr Jama Ali Jama renounced violence when his forces were defeated in 2002. The clashes between the Puntland forces and Hersi’s militia nearly dragged Puntland into clan warfare. Former Puntland president Abdullahi Yusuf described Shimbraale, a place where a group of Hersi’s militia regrouped, a terrorism base. Talks were organised by traditional leaders led by Boqor Bur Madow who brought Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Mohamud Musse Hersi together for talks, and facilitated the absorption of disaffected sub-clan militia into the Puntland security forces. This conflict resolution initiative paved the way for the sub-clan militia leader, Mr Hersi, to win Puntland presidential selection in January 2005. Mr Hersi appointed Abdirahman Farole, a Minister of Planning but sacked him after a disagreement over policies. In 2006 “ Gunmen loyal to Planning Minister Abdurrahman Farole entered the building on Sunday, before being forced out by security forces on Monday,” BBC News reported. (Militia attack on Puntland’s MPs”). The tension was diffused and Farole left for Australia where he gave the BBC Somali Service interviews critical of his predecessor. In Janaury 2009 president Farole inherited a Puntland plagued by piracy, corruption and an economy run by money-printing business clique. The autonomous administration’s coffers were emptied to fund the Transitional Federal Governmnet under president Abdulahi Yusuf Ahmed whose government lacked funds to run a parliament and cabinet based in Baydhaba and Mogadishu. Today President Farole faces challenges—the war between Puntland security forces and forces loyal to Sheikh Atom who , among other things, now demands, the disbandment of Puntland Intelligence Service. Sool, Sanaag and Cayn Leadership Council led by Saleban Ahmed Essa (aka Xaglatoosiye) whose supporters have withdrawn support for Puntland as a clan-based autonomous administration is another challenge. President Farole’s response to the Sheikh Atom (regarded by Puntland leader as a man “ who has been hiding out in the mountains for a few years” and his description of SSC Leadership Council as an “armed militia” modeled on the clan-based opposition groups of pre-1991 Somalia shows a total failure to apply conflict resolution evenhandedly in Puntland. President Farole admitted the Galagala issue has been dragging on for few years but had handled it in a manner that undermined sub-clan cohesion on which Puntland is based. Puntland Intelligence Service is agency formed without clan-wide consultations. Why does a clan need to have an Intelligence Service? Quoting the former TFG president, president Farole said: “ Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed told me that he would not have set up an armed opposition group if he could have foreseen the disintegration of Somalia at the hands of opposition groups,“ in reference to the SSC Leadership Council. Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF) led by Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed was the first armed opposition movement against former military regimes of Mohamed Siyad Barre. Initially set up by a group of clansmen as Somali Democratic Action Front (SODAF) with a base in Ethiopia, the membership of the armed group swelled after the leader was supported by his clansmen living near the border between Somalia and Ethiopia. Few members from other Somali clans joined in an attempt to make the opposition to the military regime a multi-clan initiative. The one-clan organisation image had impact on leadership decision-making and interactions between the front’s members, causing members from other clan to set-up a clan-based opposition groups that eventually toppled the military regime but failed to form a broad-based-government . President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed benefited from failures of SSD and used the political skills he gained to reconcile with the leader of sub-clan militia that challenged his authority as Puntland president and campaigned to be selected as president of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia in 2004. President Farole seems to be ignoring the need for reconciliation in Puntland but quotes a leader whose past political failures helped him to give concessions to his opponents to avoid administrative collapse.

Separatist conflicts could spread through Africa like a disease if Sudan decides in a referendum early next year to split into two, said Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Sudan is scheduled to start voting on January 9 in a referendum on whether to grant independence to the oil-producing south of the country, which fought a war with Khartoum before agreeing a peace deal five years ago. Gaddafi, speaking at a summit of African and Arab leaders in the Libyan city of Sirte, said the world had to respect the outcome of the referendum, but a vote in favour of independence would create a dangerous precedent. "What will happen in southern Sudan (if it becomes independent) will be a disease and will spread to all of Africa," Gaddafi said. "Africa needs foreign investment and stability. With this precedent, investors will be frightened to invest in Africa." Sudanese state media quoted President Omar Hassan al-Bashir accusing southern leaders of a failure to respect the terms of their peace deal and warning of renewed conflict if differences are not settled before the referendum, Reuters reports. SLAVERY In power since he led a coup in 1969, Gaddafi is Africa's longest-serving leader. His country's oil wealth and the millions of dollars it hands out to African countries in aid and investment give him diplomatic weight on the continent. Gaddafi chaired a session of the Arab-African summit, which is designed to bridge differences between the two regions and encourage Arab investors to put money into African projects. Gaddafi issued in his speech an apology for what he said was the Arab world's shameful history of trading African slaves. Historians say Arab traders seized millions of sub-Saharan Africans and sold them into slavery in the Middle East and North Africa, a practice that went on for hundreds of years and continued in some forms into the 20th century. "I regret the behaviour of the Arabs...They brought African children to North Africa. They made them slaves. They sold them like animals. They took them as slaves and traded them in a shameful way," said Gaddafi. "I regret and I am ashamed when we remember these practices. I apologise for this," he said.

Correction on previous news: Minister of Planning and Development did not say NGOs are out control Hargeisa (SomalilandPress)—SomalilandPress reported on October 5th that Somaliland Minister of Planning and Development told Somaliland Parliament that NGOs are out of control. SomalilandPress would like to clear up at the behest of Dr. Saad Shire Minister of Planning and Development on that news. It appears that our reporter in Hargeisa misunderstood some facts and also unintentionally misrepresented. Correct News On Tuesday October the 5th Minister of Planning and Development addressed the Somaliland Parliament about the Millennium Development Goals of the country. The purpose of his visit to the Parliament was to inform the members of the parliament about the importance of Millennium Development Goals and where Somaliland stood with regards to targets set. SomalilandPress would like to apologies to Dr. Saad Shire for misquoting him on our previous news.

Somaliland’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation told VOA a delegation of international donors will meet with his administration Monday to find ways to assist the self-declared autonomous region’s burgeoning democracy. Mohammed Yonis Awale said the meeting is a welcoming development that will help further stabilize the region and help ward off hard-line Islamist insurgent groups such as al-Shabab. “This conference is about assessment of the needs of Somaliland. There have been so many delegations from the international community since the elections. And, as a follow up to the delegations, it came out that the country needs to have a conference on investment in Somaliland. So, the international community is coming to our country and we are happy with that.” Analysts say the self-declared autonomous region’s stability paved the way for recent democratic elections that poll observers described as credible. Somaliland’s Electoral Commission declared opposition leader Ahmed Mahamoud Silanyo the winner of the June election defeating incumbent President Dahir Rayale Kahin. Awale said the international investor community will assess the needs of Somaliland and find ways of strengthening the region’s strong democratic credentials. “It will help on the side of creating employment and infrastructural development investment (that will) bring up the resources of the country and the capacity building of the country, as well in private and the public sector. So, it is something very important for our country at this stage.” Somaliland officials say the willingness of residents living in the region in the Horn of Africa to fully embrace democracy has played a pivotal role in making it unattractive to insurgents. Described by Washington as a terrorist organization with strong ties to al Qaida, al-Shabab and other rebel groups have been launching almost daily attacks on the internationally-backed Somali administration. The insurgents have vowed to overthrow President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed’s government to implement the strictest form of the Sharia Law.
