he difficulties for Somalis is that we seem to lack the ability to see life beyond what is taking place before our eyes. Planning ahead for what may come down the road is something we are simply not equipped to do, nor do we seem to learn from our past mistakes and try to avoid repeating them. Somaliland illustrates this point quite nicely by its inability to deal with very predictable problems and address them before they get to the boiling point. Election day finds the administration unprepared to hold elections times and again as they get surprised by this fateful day irrespective of how many extensions they request and get. Now it is not unusual for those who get to the seat of power to find reasons and arguments to want to remain there for as long as possible, what is interesting this time is the manner in which Mr. Rayale is going about to remain in power. He is not claiming to be the legitimate president of the county, since his term ended on the 6th of April (Current controversial extension notwithstanding), but the default president until a new president is elected, and since he can manage to postpone the election indefinitely, he can remain in power indefinitely. This is not the first time a convoluted argument such as this one is put forward by a dictator, what is remarkable is that it can take place in Somaliland at all. After all this place and these people know a thing or two about death and destruction at the hand of a strong man, and a system that equates the president as the country itself and anyone opposing him as worthy of total annihilation. This is where lessons learnt should by applying, where a strong line in the sand should be delineated that we as whole have traveled this road before and never again should we be willing to trek it again. The excesses of the abusive power of dictatorial regime is what caused Somaliland to reclaim its ceded sovereignty. It would be a travesty and a tragedy of immense proportion to negate all the gains and the sacrifice that went into building a cohesive society worthy of those who lost limbs and lives if when all is said and done Somaliland simply substitutes one tyranny for another. It is true that one cannot equate Dahir Rayale to Siyad Barre, but given enough time and resources one cannot dismiss the potential given his current propensity to rule by decrees, bend and if need be break the laws to serve his interest instead of the country, which is held hostage to the notion that if anyone resists his wishes, the cherished peace and the world as we know it will come to an abrupt end. In essence what the current administration is saying is that they are not willing to lose an argument whether political, social, or economical to anyone, leaving violence as the only option left to bring about change, and anyone willing to do so is responsible for endangering the peace. In other words, they may be responsible in fostering the conditions that creates the problem in the first place, but someone else is responsible for the ensuing ramifications and consequences. It is like a master telling his slave that he can have peace and all the freedoms he wants as long as he is in complete agreement with the masters rule which dictate that he shall have neither. Democracy does not work if there are no checks and balances, and no one can argue that there is anything remotely resembling that in Somaliland where there is no independent Judiciary institution to speak of and the upper house (Guurti) has for all intended purposes morphed into a rubber stamping body for Mr. Rayale. The fact that the Guurti can extend the president's term is not disputed by anyone, what is also not in dispute is that the conditions that would trigger such an act have not been met. The problem is that the Constitution is quite clear on the conditions that would necessitate such a drastic move on their part (Dire circumstances are: a wide war, internal instability, serious natural disasters, such as earthquakes, epidemic diseases, (and) serious famines; and shall be determined and resolved by the House of Elders on the proposal of the Council of Government) . Furthermore, nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Guurti can set a new election date, which is what they did in their recent ruling. Government incompetence, technical issues, or an administration unwilling to provide funds did not make the list as one of the conditions that would necessitate an extension of term for the president. The bottom line is that politics without principles is what is being practiced here, and it seems to be the only form of discourse we are familiar with and practice for as long as the concept of western style democracy has been introduced to us. History has a way of teaching the same lessons to those unfortunate souls that do not learn from past mistakes, and this is where one should pause and pay attention, because we may be at a cross road once again. In 1969 when Siyad Barre came to power with a military coup, no one shed a tear for the democratically elected government that was illegally overthrown. The reason being, it was so corrupt and so far removed from the people that except for an elite few, it no longer touched the masses in any meaningful way, and was seen as an entity belonging to someone other than the man in the street. A military coup in the minds of many provided a change that potentially could bring a new balance to the system and allow ordinary folks to participate in their government and at the same time get rid of the elite and privileged society fostered by the previous electoral system responsible in stoking up tribalism to achieve its ends. The military junta got rid of the old guard, but replaced them with one of their own, and after 22 years of varying degree of terror managed to kill not only countless people but the essence of what it means to be Somali. Nearly 20 years after the demise of the Siyad Barre, Somalis are still trying to fit a square peg in a round hole by stubbornly holding on to a pseudo democracy with a dab of tribalism added for good measure.Mr. Rayale is not doing anything that the system in place is not allowing to do, and he is well on his way to create his own very little Rayaleland, but he is only a manifestation of the underlying larger problem of combining the worst of both worlds; indigenous tribalism and western style government without any checks or balances. Having one's clan member in government turned out not to bring true representation to the people, nor does it translate into a befeficial perk for the clan in question. The question is when the day of reckoning comes and Al-Shabaab comes knocking with the promise of God’s law, will history repeat itself, or are people actually going to rally and defend their dictator? Farole in Puntland seems to be a major improvement over Adde Musse, but nothing stops him from printing his own money the same way his predecessor did, and Sheikh Sharif in Mogadishu with 500 strong parliament, an international presence, local religious leaders and Al- Shabaab seems to have so many bosses he doesn' t know whether he is going or coming. If none of the choices above are to your liking…….it is time to reinvent the wheel. Mahdi Gabose.

TUQ TUQ TUQ

Recently, whilst listening to Radio Hargeisa (now available across the Horn of Africa and elsewhere), and watching Somaliland television channels on satellite, I couldn't help but marvel at the progress of Somaliland. Here is a poor nation, as yet without international recognition, striving to achieve so much through the efforts of its people. These valiant people hold the key to Somaliland's success. It is thanks to the people's sacrifice and vigilance that Somaliland has avoided becoming a "basket-case" like other parts of the region. Somaliland has overcome many hurdles since reclaiming its sovereignty within the international recognised borders of the Republic of Somaliland on the 26th of June, 1960 and will no doubt continue on its path to democracy and good governance. Yet, there are those, growing fewer with each passing day, and at times, so hysterical they lose all sense of objectivity and argument, and point to every political issue in Somaliland, such as the recent disputes between the Somaliland political parties with regard to forth-coming Presidential elections slated for the 26th of September 2009. And when the political leadership and the people of Somaliland resolve these issues through dialogue, discussion and consensus, these hysterical opponents fall into silence. The people of Somaliland are the key to international recognition, and it is the wish of the people of Somaliland to maintain their sovereignty. Even though opponents of Somaliland would like to see the nation follow the anarchic examples of other parts of the region, this will not happen. The people of Somaliland are far too mature to squander they hard won sovereignty. The people of Somaliland will resolve any issues through dialogue, discussions and consensus. The elections will be held, and any transfer of power will be peaceful and orderly, in other words, it will be democratic. The reality of Somaliland´s existence is that for eighteen years it has remained stable. Somaliland has withstood many challenges, so a few angry voices in the wilderness spouting the same, old failed policies is not a serious threat to its sovereignty, however, the people of Somaliland will respond to these naysayer through democratic principals, economic development, through peace and stability and by continuing to resolve all issues through dialogue, discussions and consensus. Furthermore, Somaliland´s inevitable international recognition will not be delayed by the need to resolve the mayhem in the region, because the international community is beginning to realise that the other groups in the region have nothing to offer their suffering and displaced citizens. At the present time, politics is been keenly practised in Somaliland. Keenly, but, democratically, and all remaining issues will be resolved through dialogue, discussion and consensus. The amusing thing is that the opponents of Somaliland start to perk up whenever they notice something their construe in their narrow thinking as a political crisis. And time and time again, once these issues are resolved through Somaliland's tried and tested formula, dialogue, discussion and consensus, these opponents become depressed. Well, once again, any political issues in Somaliland will be resolved peacefully, and once again, Somaliland's opponents will carry on using their own peculiar formula, of anarchy, destruction and death on their long suffering citizens. What a pity. By: Ahmed Kheyre

... Dee naga daa cawooy

Hargeisa, 7 April 2009 (somalilandpress) - The village of Abaarso, located about 12 miles outside of Somaliland’s capital of Hargeisa, will house a revolutionary boarding school founded by an Emory alum where the next generation of Somali leaders will be educated and trained. Unsatisfied with his job as a hedge fund manager, Jonathan Starr (’98C) left his lucrative job to pursue his long-time interest in helping talented yet underprivileged children. Somaliland, which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 after a gruesome civil war, is still undergoing post-war recovery and rebuilding its infrastructure. Because the region, located in the Horn of Africa, remains an unrecognized state, it is unable to borrow money from the World Bank to supplement its low annual government budget estimated at $40 million. Abaarso Tech, slated to launch this July, is the second school in Somaliland to be established by a non-Somali. Because the government can’t provide enough funding or resources to run its public schools efficiently, the educational system — from elementary to the university level — is mainly run by private sectors. Abaarso Tech will recruit Somali students who place in the top 1 percent of the eighth grade exit exams in order to train the “absolute intellectual elite,” Starr said. “We want these kids to go to Harvard. We want these kids to go to universities in the U.S. and come back and be leaders of this country,” Starr said. Abaarso Tech is structured similarly to the American educational system; the four-year boarding school will house students from ninth to 12th grade. The school year will begin in the fall like the American system, with a Ramadan break rather than Christmas vacation as most Somalis are Muslims. First-year students will undergo an intensive “English boot camp,” then all the classes will be taught in English except for the Somali and Arabic language classes. The curriculum will focus on math, science and logical thinking with a focus on skills such as entrepreneurship and engineering. The school will also provide an apprenticeship system for Somali university graduates who will co-teach with fluent English-speaking teachers. This system is designed for the Somali apprentices to take the teaching skills they learn at Abaarso Tech and apply them to their future careers. For now, the enrollment system remains open for all qualified students, even those who can’t afford the tuition. Some students will be able to participate in work-study-like jobs at local businesses in order to gain hands-on experience while paying their way through school. Currently, the board of trustees — comprised of local businessmen, leaders and Starr — is working to build a donor base to sponsor students and to receive grants in order to guarantee long-term survival of Abaarso Tech. “I’m not worried about the funding for the first couple of years. My hope is that there’s a number of different avenues that we can go down to help both on the revenue generation and also on the donors,” Starr said, adding that Abaarso Tech has the potential to generate interest from donors from various different groups of people, including supporters of the advancement of education in Africa and Somali diaspora activists. Somali officials and residents of the Abaarso village are supportive of the school’s establishment, Starr said. The 150,000 square-meter land — approximately 1,615 square feet — was donated by an Abaarso elder, and the Somaliland president offered to provide any non-financial assistance. “Schools are very important for the Somali community. Even during wars, … you have these schools being run, and you have universities,” said Yusuf Osman, a Somali-born retired United Nations official and Starr’s uncle, who suggested that Starr actualize his passion in Somaliland. “[The founders of Abaarso Tech] have such good intentions, and they’re quite courageous. … Everybody thinks of Somalia, and they think of war and they think of pirates. But [starr] is not afraid of any of those things.” In a relatively homogeneous ethnic society, Starr has experienced the inevitable culture shock. The strong clan ties are “incredible,” he said, adding: “We can use a little bit of it here [in America], the degree to which you go out of your way for your 20th cousin.” Starr said he also stands out as a foreigner, attracting attention from locals. When he visited a school in Hargeisa, a large group of students swarmed Starr as if he were a spectacle. One child, Starr recalled, asked him in English: “White man, what are you doing here?” “I got a kick out of it,” Starr said. But Starr said the warm hospitality he received from the Somali community encouraged him to carry out his plans without second thoughts. When Starr greeted a local man with the Somali phrase for “good afternoon,” the man spoke back to him in Somali, welcoming him and treating him as if he were a fellow Somali. “I say one word in Somali, and suddenly they think you’re Somali,” Starr said. “The people were so accepting.” To apply to be a teacher at Abaarso Tech this summer, visit www.abaarsotech.org.
