Kismayo Update

Recommended Posts

N.O.R.F   

Bashi, its funny how things turn out in Somali politics. The changes from support to opposition from calling for unity to supporting something that will create instability without any recourse. All over the period of just a year. Question, are the govnt concerns re Kenya's involvement merited? Xiin understandably doesn't want to go there.

 

What should happen next?

NORF,

You are writing with an accusatory tone with respect to the newly born administration in Kismayo. That unto itself is a sign that Kismayo has succeeded :D

 

It is funny with all the landers who were passionate about this topic, NORF is the only one who dared to show up with a half measure post. One understands why Mintid and Oodweyne are not as interested in Jubbaland anymore :D

Jubbaland has got as far as it go without being a federal state officially which was inèvitable considering the scramble post the presidential election.

 

Mintid iyo Odey predicted a split and that is what we have today. Now what happens next?

Somalia: President Madobe nominates Gen. Fartaag as Jubaland vice president

17 May 17, 2013 - 8:01:59 PM

 

KISMAYO, Somalia May 17, 2013 (Garowe Online) - The newly elected president of Jubaland state in southern Somalia has nominated Gen. Abdullahi Ismail Fartaag as the state’s new Vice President in accordance with the adopted State Charter, Garowe Online reports.

 

Jubaland President Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Madobe) nominated Gen. Fartaag as Jubaland Vice President after consultations with community elders, politicians and intellectuals, according to sources in Kismayo.

 

Gen. Fartaag took the oath of office Friday afternoon in Kismayo in front of community elders and other sectors of Jubaland society, witnesses reported. Speaking to the media, Gen. Fartaag said the Jubaland election of Ahmed Madobe as the new state’s first president was “right and legitimate”.

 

Asked about Col. Barre Hirale, Gen. Fartaag, who like Barre Hirale also hails from Gedo region of Jubaland state, said that Gedo region's clan chief took part of the Jubaland constitutional conference. Col. Barre Hirale, a former Kismayo warlord, suddenly declared himself as Jubaland president on May 15, moments after Madobe’s election.

 

Speaking on BBC, Ahlu Sunna militia leader Sheikh Mohamed Yusuf Libah, a politician from Gedo region, also said the Jubaland conference delegates’ election of Ahmed Madobe was legitimate after a consultative community process.

 

Some 870 delegates adopted the Jubaland State Charter in April 2013, while 500 delegates took part in electing Ahmed Madobe as Jubaland president on May 15, 2013.

 

Speaking on Puntland-based Radio Garowe on Friday, Mr. Abdinasir Serar spokesman for Kismayo’s former interim administration accused the Somali Federal Government of “fomenting community violence” in Kismayo. He said the Federal Government has “failed its national duty” and stated that, “political groups are backing Barre Hirale’s self-declared presidency”.

 

"Barre Hirale came to Kismayo [in April] claiming to visit his family. This is a surprise that he suddenly declares himself a 'president'," he said.

 

Somali Interior Minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled held a press conference on Thursday in Mogadishu, claiming that Jubaland has “two presidents”, warned against clan violence, and advised Federal Government troops and AMISOM peacekeepers to be “neutral” in the event of violence in Kismayo.

 

Minister Guled also said that the Federal Government does not recognize the outcome of the Jubaland conference, with reports in Mogadishu noting that Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon who hails from Gedo region refused to read yesterday's prepared statement in Mogadishu, whereby the Federal Government rejected the Jubaland conference's outcome.

This is like telling a neighbour to mind his own business when he knocks on his neighbour's door to see if there is a domestic :D

I hope I am fair NORF for I see you are in denial of the one year process where close 1000 delegates participated and eventually elected a president. Worse yet you are equating that process with one man's claim of presidency :D , a man who we didn't hear from for two days :D

 

What gives awoowe? Why are you so biased against Kismayo, against peace and stability in an important region? :D:

You see , you are resolved to wish for instability in Kismayo. But there is none to be had.

 

But just like you believe you are a country called Somaliland, you can believe Kismayo has three presidents :D

Madaxweyne Axmed Madoobe oo la caleemo saaray

Published: May 17, 2013

 

Kn: Xaflad balaaran oo ka dhacday jaamacada Kismaayo ayaa lagu caleemo saaray Sheekh Axmed Madoobe oo dhawaan loo doortey madaxweynaha Jubbaland.

 

Dad badan ayaa kasoo qeybgalay oo ay ka midyihiin musharixiintii tartantay qaarkood sida Sheekh Shakuul oo u hambalyeeyey madaxweynaha cusub, una rajeeyey in xilkiisa illaahay la garab galo.

 

Shirar illaa shalay socday ayaa lagu dhameeyey, laguna go’aansaday in doorashadii Sheekh Axmed Madoobe ay si wanaagsan u dhacday, loona gudbo waxa xiga oo ah in dowlad rasmi ah la dhiso, iyada oo wadahadalada lagu qeybsaday golaha wasiiradda.

 

Madaxweyne ku xigeenka Jubbaland ayaa loo magacaabay Jeneraal Cabdullaahi Fartaag, kaasi oo maanta isna la caleemo saaray.

 

Waxaa lagu wadaa in lasoo xulo golaha baarlamaanka oo dooran doona gudoonkiisa, balse waxaa jirta in xukuumadda ay durba shaqo galayso maadaamaa ay jiraan duruufo amaan oo qasbaya in sidaasi la yeelo.

 

Wixii kasoo kordha xaaladaha isbadalka badan ee Kismaayo ka socda dib ayaan kasoo gudbin doonaaa haddii alle idmo.
