Baashi Posted January 25, 2012 Taleex conference adjourned. Clan chieftains, local elders, politicians, and other concerned parties agreed a path forward. They called their clan construct -- Khatumo State of Somalia. The zone will be administered by a rotating governors on the basis of sub-clan sharing scheme matrix. An other fiefdom in the Somali house. According to the press releases the zone will focus on rebuilding its shattered and neglected area of influence. Its principled political orientation is pro Somali Republic. This clan construct -- the way it’s framed -- is independent from the competing admins on its borders as well as TFG. TFG? Strange but that’s how their statements is understood. After KSS is announced the region has seen a lot of actions. Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues aka ‘Make Me Wanna Holler’ comes to mind. Yes I know I am oldie fiend Let’s get to it. As Marvin would put it let’s enumerate hang ups, let downs, bad breaks, and set backs and you would see why recovery zone, bottom up, building block supporters would cry out ‘make me wanna holler and throw up both my hands’. Hang ups The KCC hit a snag when a well-know clan activist, a champion of SCC dissented. Xaglotoosiye went against the grain -- against majority vote, against elders and above all his clan chieftains. He sees enemy in Ali. He’s having difficult time to see beyond his personal grievances. As unfortunate as that is, Mr. X has yet to articulate his principal argument for having now defunct SSC leadership lead KCC as token of appreciation of their lonely struggle in championing SSC clannish cause. Let downs Garowe and Hargeisa admin’s stand on this new kid in the block as different as their stand may be, is understandable. But get this, no support is coming from TFG. TFG leaderships’ total silence is deafening. SOL pundits are scratching their scalps as what to make of TFG’s inattention toward this new development. Perhaps TFG considers that area as one that falls outside its purview. Bad breaks The political calendar of 2012 is populated with events of political importance. SOL’s incessant posts and white noises aside, scheduled conferences to be held in Garowe, and London will produce early rhythms of post conflict Somalia political beat. Folks representing KCC views will not be participating in these events. Piracy conferences in Dubai and Nairobi have political undertones with monumental consequences in terms of security. Turkey is setting up fund account to rebuild post-conflict Somalia and some nomads understand how that is going to play out in the sense that some recovery zones outside TFG purview would be eligible. Set backs Maca asif there were unfortunate loss of lives directly related to the Taleex conference. Having a peaceful gathering to deliberate the future status of the clan that somehow offends some folks. Since secessionists tendency to overpromise (getting their fiefdom recognized as state) and under deliver that promise, Taleex challenge is painfully revealing as it lifted the drapes off of the secessionists khilaawo. With no principled argument on hand against Taleex challenge some called for unprovoked attack against their brethrens in SSC region. A group of delirious secessionists -- whipped by known warmongers -- obliged and attacked Buuhoodle. If Raqia Omar were impartial she would have cried foul as she did in late eighties and would’ve labeled Hargeisa’s admin as a “government” at war with its people. Peaceful demo in Las Ano met with the same fate -- indiscriminate machine gun. SOL fan boys Our friends made a momentary lapse and excitedly hailed unprovoked attack on civilians as necessary and just war to defend Somaliland’s territorial integrity. Same can be said about Inna Barre’s heavy handed put down of NW uprising if one follows the secessionists rationale. However theirs is not a logic rational people can understand.
