Press Release

 

March 08, 2010

Farah Maalin is a household name in Kenya and perhaps the rest of the Somali-inhabited territories in the Horn. Until his election to Kenya's parliament and appointment as the deputy speaker, he oozed an air of a man who held deep attachment for the good of Somalis and their unity, something that had warmed many hearts desperate for good Somali Samaritans.

 

Unfortunately, he fell from his much admired pedestal when he paid an unexpected and ill-advised trip to Somaliland at which time he endorsed Somaliland's invasion and occupation of the regions of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (Cayn) and signalled his approval of their secession from Somalia. While the TFG and the rest of Somalia paid little attention to this provocative visit, a stance from which the secessionists drew much needed comfort, the SSC people for their part, at home and abroad, took great exception to this stab behind their back by someone they hitherto thought to be true believer in Somalia's unity and the peaceful co-existence of its warring clans and factions.

 

 

 

Despite the initial shock following his trip, there was hope that Farah Maalin will come to his senses, repair the damage he caused to the SSC people and Somalia, and turn a new page. Far from doing so, he was at it again in an interview with the BBC Somali Service recetly in which he defended not only his misguided visit to Somaliland but unbelievably claimed that an SSC welcoming part escorted him from Burcao all the way to Lascanod and that he was given a rousing welcome in Lascanod itself. While we concede that some individuals hailing from the SSC regions accompanied him from Hargeisa, it is disingenuous on his part to portray them as typical of the SSC people. What he failed to add was that these were turncoats and quislings in the pay of Somaliland who are resident in Hargeisa.

 

Truth is something in short supply when it comes to all politicians of all stripes and Farah Maalin is no excepton. But he went over the top when, in his vain attempt to put a brave face on his non-existent reception, he made the totally baseless claim that he was given a tumultuous reception in Lascaond!. Suffice to say that the locals could not have warmed up to someone from another country of whom they knew nothing as a person and also about the purpose of his visit. Those who escorted him were the same people accompanying from Hargeisa, or Somaliland's security forces in the occupied city. One has to ask what Farah Maalin is to gain from such blatant, barefaced and persistent propaganda on behalf of Somaliland, its secession and occupation of other parts of Somalia

 

If there is one solace that the SSC people can draw from the undeserved wronging they incurred at the hands of Farah Maalin, it is the intervention of Kenya's foreign minister who is now calling for Maalin's impeachment for his statements and actions during his trip to Somaliland. It is ironic, and it is much appreciated, that he should put Farah Maalin in his place when our own government, and above all its president, prime minister, foreign minister and its ambassador in Nairobi, have all united in maintaining silence, believing perhaps that they can weather the storm by putting their heads in the sand.

 

True to their Darwiish heritage, the SSC people will throw out the invaders from their territory now matter how long it takes and preserve Somalia's unity. Farah Maalin support for Somaliland will come to nothing and will only be remembered for what is- a misguided self-serving mission which in the end will come to haunt him.
