Djibouti was at the for front to undermine Somalia , yet Somalia can still prevail.

[galbeedi]

 

The eye-popping headlines on the Somali electoral issues have been mostly condemnation from African peace and Security , and certain American commander calling the actions of the parliament as a threat worse than Al-shabaab.

 

Yet, the real truth behind the headlines is not only a manipulated process, but also involved collusion among certain members and out right treachery. People were wondering how a process that took through virtual video conference produced statements within minutes of its conclusion? The UN security council deliberated for days and just released its statement today.

 

Certainly, there is no love lost between the African Union and Somalia for the last few years. Kenya along other nations has campaigned to recall the maritime dispute with Somalia from the international court. They just kept repeating the slogan : African problems must be resolved by Africa. Somalia under Farmaajo had rejected  this ploy and insisted on the adjudication of the case which dragged since 2014. Without starting the journey to the African Union, President   Farmaajo should have taken his due diligence and send his diplomats to the AU and explore the waters to asses if there is any support for his mission. Historically, the African never supported Somalia against Ethiopia and Kenya in sixties and seventies.

 

THe statement released by the AU peace and security council without the necessary deliberation has been reveled.  It  showed the overt and covert  cooperation between  the so called Somali opposition and some of the countries , mainly Djibouti and Kenya. The Hassan Sheikh led Somali opposition group with help of IC  wrote a ten-point letter to the AU and dispatched it to Addis Ababa through the Djibouti ambassador to Ethiopia who personally forwarded the content to member delegates. Before hand both Djibouti and Kenya based their argument on this letter which became the blue print of the statement.

 

In fact, reliable people say that the AU peace and security council copy pasted the Somali opposition letter which proves the many factual errors the statement contains. For example , they said "1 2. Requests AMISOM, pending the renewal of its mandate, to monitor the deployment of Somali Security Forces (SSF). Which means their renewal mandate is pending, as the same time.  a week or so ago they transferred the Mogadishu sector command to the Somali army and agreed to flow suit as the capabilities of the Somali army grows.. How can a foreign army control the movements national army in its own soil. They were just parroting what Hassan Sheikh and C/laahi Dani said about their fear of the national army.

 

In another point , just like the opposition they corollate the decision of the parliament to hold inclusive universal suffrage as threat that will undermine , "the unity of the Somali army and security apparatuses". Why a political debate among the Somali stakeholders will lead to affect the unity of the Somali army. A disgruntled leader has publicly called the disbanding of the Somali army just like the former SNM leader Cumar Carte had called the dissolution of the Somali army in 1991. Regimes come and go, but the institutions like the army stays for ever. Regimes might change the top leadership of the army , but the rank-and-file soldiers defend the nation regardless of who is the leader.

 

Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, Djibouti and others do not even have a parliament or elected body, yet they were the ones who overruled Somalia. As Cali Geedi said, they supposed to base their conclusions by adhering to the articles of the AU charter which urges nations to respect the political independence of African nations.. No coup has taken place in Somalia , but the voice of members who represent every village and town in the country---the parliament. How can Madoobe , who controls one town can overrule the Somali parliament. 

 

Folks, the real opposition are  certain members of the IC. How can a country whose electoral process is developing slowly but surely could be undermined by calling false alarms?  Musafeni is his 34th year of rule, so does Omar Geele in 23th, South Sudan is a mess, and Sudan is taken over by military Junta. These were the majority who overruled Egypt and Ethiopia. We are well aware that direct democracy has always  been  a threat to colonial powers.

 

Someone told me the other day that Farmaajo doesn't fit the bill or the excuses the so-called war on terror people use to destroy nations. He is not Damujadiid like the former president who turned warlord this week , MUslim Brotherhood like C/rahman Baadiyow and company, or Al-Ithaad or any of those Muslim political movements that attract American interventions. He is  just like the old Somalis we grew up with ( Waa Soomali maxamedi aan niqiinay ka hor inta aysan kooxu ina soo gelin ). They don't have any clear motive to stop him.

 

Folks, you must remember every trouble maker in Somalia yoday was a member of these movements ( Dhamaantood Wadaadnimo ayey xukunka ku yimaadeen). Ahmed Madoobe was Sheikul Al Shabaab as the deputy leader of the group, Shariif Ahmed was Islamic courts, Hassan Sheikh was Damujadiid, C/dani was a faction of the brotherhood. C/easjiid Janan of Gedo and  C/rahman C/shakuur were Al-Ithihaad. 

 

What excuse would America has to sideline Farmaajo?  He is a Somali nationalist who understands their games. The state department said, they are replacing ambassador Yamamoto because he failed to stand up to Farmaajo. Go figure.

The good news is the AU statement  was nothing but the kangaroo courts of the usual suspects. The main addition is Djibouti ( Xeebtaa Soomaali laga xaday) who had come to the for front to knee cap the Somali government. The despot is angry about Somalia establishing relations with Eritrea. It wasn't Somalia who lifted the 20-year old  embargo from Eritrea, it was the Noble price wining premier of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed who reconciled with that country and welcomed them to the world stage.  Eritrea is one of the handful of countries who deeply recognize and appreciate what the Somali state did for them during the  independence  war which made possible by our support when everyone including the Arab league and the west abandoned them  to the mercy of the red terror of Mengistu Hailemaruim.T

n fact, Djibouti never supported Somalia in any conflict or in any international forum since its independence. In the war of 1977, late president Hassan Guuleed sided with Ethiopia. In that war, a Somali pilot died after crashing without enough fuel when the puppet regime refused him to land. The Ethiopian air planes bombing Hargeisa and Borama used to land for refueling in Djibouti. This is a fact many of the Somali " Gaas dhagoole" didn't know. The biggest mistake was done by late president Siyaad Barre when he agreed the installation Hassan Guulled , who was a French spy and mercenary that fought with tooth and nail against the freedom fighters of Djibouti. It was the only few places in the whole world were those fighting the colonial forces were denied to rule and replaced by those who were fighting along the French. The leaders of the Front for the Liberation of Frech Somaliland were either shot in Lawyacado in 1977, like the leader of the movement Janaale and Aadan Rooble awaale, while Omar Raabe and others were arrested in Mogadishu and released after six months when the Guulled Family consolidated power. This family helped every rebel who took arms against the Somali state in eighties. 

 

Nowadays he fools the southern politicians who doesn't know much anything outside Mogadishu, while Hargeisa west dominated administration in Hargeisa deposits its loots in Djibouti banks.

Sometimes, he presents himself like someone preserving the Somali language and heritage, yet in Djibouti itself , there is no one single Somali language newspaper or book published by his regime. From time to time he invites starving Somali artists by showering them with money and lodging while they stay in Djibouti. Legendary singer Hassan Aadan Samatar was given a mansion by the wife of te president while he entertains them occasionally. Every major Somali website or TV is bribed handsomely to avoid any discrepancy of bad news related to the Geele Family. The diaspora-based Djibouti opposition is denied of coverage from every Somali owned media whatever it is based. Boramanews, Hiiraanonlnie, Universal Tv, Sol Portal and many more are among those who praise him constantly. The late broadcaster Ahmed Hassan Awke (Codkii Qaranka) crtisiced on Univeral TV when the Arab spring was on the for front and mocked those leaders who want to change the constitution. " WAxa uu yidhi, Qaar baa odhanaya ha naga oo haddad naga tegto waan balanbalaynaa, markaasuu run modaa". Cawke was fired after that segment. 

 

In that last election, he used the same old book. He said , I wanted to retire but the youth asked me to stay and finish some projets ( Iimaanka Alla ka qaad waxa uu 23 sano qaban waayeey ee uu hadda qabanayo maxay tahay). Two weeks ago when people refused to vote, he ordred any government employee who doesn't vote will be fired, and women's group were monitoring neighborhoods for those who do not vote.

 

I do not want to be distracted by Cumar Geelle, but there is bad news and good news for those us who desire a resurgent Somalia.

 

First the bad news. The EU and others will cut their money and also encourage others to flow suit. They even attacked Qatar to discourage them to assist Somalia. Turkey too will face some pressure although Erdogan isn't someone that backs down from any threat whethever it originates. So, there might be some economic crunches. I hope C/rahman Bayle who sometimes sounds like a dog trained in way only by keep repeating IMF did that or IMF and others are watching us, to think out of the box and reach out China which is spending billions through Road and Belt Initiative (RBI) . 

 

The good news is the Somali issue at the UN security council is no more dominated by UK and their treachery agenda. They have already over used their fear of regional security and their treachery to own the Somali desk for their own agenda. THey used to convene a conference every few years to raise money for Somalia while using the donor money for their own political ends. Since 2017, no one even bothered to continue the so-called London conference. 

In yesterday's meeting, UK as usual jumped to their high horse to try and deeply interfere with the Somali internal process.  Both China and Russia had blocked any resolution or moves to undermine or interfere the business of the government. At the end, they just released the usual press release calling for parties to come to the table and find common ground.

 

Here are some of the statements"

 

"The members of the Security Council took note of President Farmaajo’s talks with the Democratic Republic of Congo President and Chairperson of the AU, Felix Tshisekedi in Kinshasa on 19 April. They expressed their support for and encouraged regionally-led international efforts to help bring the parties back to the table and facilitate inclusive negotiations"

 

"The members of the Security Council condemned all terrorist attacks in Somalia and the region and reaffirmed their respect for the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity and unity of Somalia"

 

The other issue on this front is also just like the cold war, Somalia might have entered the geopolitical rivalry between the emerging east and the old west. Just a month or so ago, the current American administration decided to stop any drone war in Somlia and transferred authority to the white like Obama, yet, days ago they decided to come back to Balidoogle.The American desperation is apparent for everyone to see. The Africom general even claimed that Farmaajo is more serious than Al-Shabaab. Go figure.

 

Folks, you must remember every trouble maker in Somalia was a member of these movements ( Dhamaantood Wadaadnimo ayey xukunka ku yimaadeen). Ahmed Madoobe was Sheikul Al Shabaab as the deputy leader of the group, Shariif Ahmed was Islamic courts, Hassan Sheikh was Damujadiid, C/dani was a faction of the brotherhood. C/easjiid Janan of Gedo and  C/rahman C/shakuur were Al-Ithihaad.

 

What excuse would America has to sideline Farmaajo?  He is a Somali nationalist who understands games. The state department said, they are replacing ambassador Yamamoto because he failed to stand up to Farmaajo. Go figure.

Now, what should the Somali government do in the short term?

 

First, Farmaajo should assemble a heavy weight foreign policy team. The current foreign minister Mr. Mohamed Abubaker has done a good job so far. In fact, he is much better that the former Faroole guy Mr. Cawad. Yet, he needs the assistance of an experienced team to tackle these major issues. You cannot have the president doing shuttle diplomacy by reacting to events. Diplomacy is an art to give and take. If I were him, I would call Proff. Ahmed Samatar and join the team despite what happened in the past.

 

SEcond , the loyal opposition must be in the for front. Hassan Sheikh and his students, Mahad Salad, Odowa, Ina C/rashiid are small segment of many other political parties. Cali Geedi, the man who should have been the prime minister must be given the center stage of the other political parties to stop the new warlord Hassan Sheikh. Some of you might not  like that statement , but what is left of Hassan Sheikh to set up a checkpoint in C/caziiz district and deputize Muuse Suudi as his chief of staff. We can negotiate with Shariif Ahmed who probably knows both war and peace.

 

Furthermore, the IC pressure groups do not have strong hand within the country. Somalia is not Egypt or Djibouti where they could impose Dani or Hassan Sheikh. Somalis everywhere must reject the twenty years old 4.5 system were corrupt elders pick their representatives. If we collectively reject no one can force us.

Khayre, john saadiq and former danab leeader + others belong to different group and Mark is simply the person writing their letters and managing the funding. 

Delaying the election  was first goal and was successful and second on was to let Farmaajo mandate expire. The third goal was  him removed, just simply backfired when parliament voted the extension. Farmaajo team knew the whole plan since for while.
