SNM in Balance By Ali Bahar I salute the Awdalnews.com management in its recent editorial article titled, “SNM in balance: The need for a Truth and Reconciliation Committee in Somaliland†for courageously taking the leadership in addressing the long overdue moral question regarding the human rights violations committed in the name of SNM in northern Somalia during the 90’s. It is unfortunate that after more than 20 years into the desired state of session that was born out of frustration, anger, and maybe even a desire for dominance in the minds of the SNM leadership, the public has yet to see them repent or at least acknowledge some of the grave human rights violations they have helped committed against innocent people in many towns and villages in the region. These crimes committed by the SNM, in many accounts, carry the same weight, if not more, as that of the massacres committed by the military dictatorship government of Siyad Barre against the people of Hargeisa and Bura. The fact that someone was killed by SNM does not make it any less painful, as we should value all human lives the same way, regardless who one is/was and where he/she comes from. Of course, Ignorance and unbridled greed had to have determined the outcome of the war in some instances, in that the leadership of SNM might not have known all the terrors and crimes cried out in their name against innocent Somali people, but after 20 years of their involvement of the politics in the region and even taking some leadership roles in the day to day operation, they have a huge moral responsibility to face the people and admit that they were responsible for these crimes. Many, both young and old, have still many unanswered questions and are waiting to hear the public addressing their unforgettable ordeal; the killings of their love ones by the SNM loyalists in front of their eyes. There are witnesses, records, stories that all exist and waiting to be reopened. If the Rayal’s government is genuinely sincere about its attempts in becoming the SOUTH AFRICA of the horn of Africa, it should strive to bring forth an atmosphere of tolerance, democratic pluralism, and respect for human rights, which will safeguard the collective interest of our people. It should advocate for the creation of a truth-seeking reconciliation commission that could open the doors for the possibility of public hearings for the first time, where the agonizing stories from silent voices could be heard in courts. It owes to the sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, as well as friends and colleagues of those who died in vain. Their voices and faces are still with us, crying for justices. The commission should be able to exercise power to express regret and sorrow, and even retribution, on behalf of all of us, for the atrocities and human violations inflicted on these innocent people in the region by SNM and its supporters. It is a moral obligation on all of us, including the SNM leadership. Ali Bahar

Editor's View April 07, 2005 - 14:06 Editorial - SNM in balance: The need for a Truth and Reconciliation Committee in Somaliland Twenty-four years have elapsed since the formation of SNM. This is sufficient time for emotions to be settled and to look back with clear vision and critical evaluation the struggle and history of the movement. The SNM was born out of bent-up anger, frustration, humiliation and disrespect for human dignity and human life. The formation of the movement, therefore, came into being in the heat of the moment and was mostly driven by emotion rather than by a well-laid political vision and national agenda. Like any liberation movement with thousands of fearless, trigger-happy and adrenaline-thrilled youth in its ranks and fighting a ruthless and inhumane regime, it was futile to expect it to respect the rules of war and refrain from committing excesses. The one and only goal of the movement during its long years of struggle was to free the people and country from the tyranny of a military regime. The rule of thump was all is fair in love and war. Now, after almost a quarter of a century, it is high time that sober and wise people answer the hard questions. It is time to re-examine, analyze and re-evaluate the rights and wrongs of the SNM. It is high time that conscientious souls and responsible citizens look into their depths and come up with answers that go beyond the hackneyed self-righteous and self-congratulatory attitudes of the battle days. It is unhealthy of a society yearning to build a nation based on lasting peace, democratic norms, prosperity and human dignity to gloss over the truth and see men who portray themselves as the leaders of the whole nation acting as if they are just now emerging from the dust of the battle, adorned with all their armaments and battle cries. It is high time that the former SNM commanders and supporters have to acknowledge the ugly crimes committed in the name of the movement in the same way they celebrate its good deeds. It is time to admit that the SNM had its victories and it defeats, its success and its blunders, its crimes and its share of responsibility for the plight of hundreds of thousands of Somalilanders, destruction and annihilation of whole towns and villages and the killing of hundreds of innocent farmers, businessmen, poets, intellectuals, elders, religious men and women and children for the crime of belonging to anti-SNM clans. In celebrating the 24th anniversary of the SNM and remembering those who lost their precious lives for the cause of liberating their people from oppression and dictatorship, the former SNM commanders and fighters should also be courageous enough to remember the victims of the movement and should reach out to the women who were widowed, the mothers who lost their beloved sons and daughters and the children who were orphaned or maimed in the name of the SNM. It is always easy, particularly in the clan-worshipping culture of our people, to sing the heroism of your own men and women and forget the heroism of others. One wonders whether it ever occurred to the former SNM commanders and fighters that as much as its music for their ears to be called Mujahidis, hearing such description may be loathsome to the victims of the SNM who are today law abiding and patriotic Somaliland citizens. What are the criteria for earning the honor of Mujahid or Martyr in a tribal society like ours, one may ask. In Islam it is known that anyone who dies defending the honor of his family or his property and his soul is a martyr. No one doubts those SNM fighters who fought with the good intention of defending the honor of their people, their property and their country as a whole against a tyrant regime deserve the honor of being Mujahid in the strict sense of the word but can any one deny the fighters of other clans who fought against the SNM militias in defense of their honor, their property and their existence to be decorated heroes and Mujahids of their concerned clans. The former SNM commanders and fighters love to claim sainthood by repeatedly reminding their former adversaries that they have extended to them an amnesty blanket and have forgiven them for taking the gun against the freedom fighters. The question that the former SNM fighters forget to ask themselves is "who has forgiven whom? It is understandable that due to unflinching tribal loyalties and strong emotions attached to the struggle of the SNM, it might have been difficult to even contemplate answering this question at earlier times but after a quarter of a century it is not only reasonable but a moral obligation for both former SNM fighters and the militia commanders of the anti-SNM clans at the time to answer such question and other more difficult ones. It is time that Somaliland establishes a Truth and Reconciliation Committee in the style of the famous South African one and bring those who committed crimes in the name of the SNM and those of other clans who committed crimes in the name of defending tribal pride to face the rule of law. It is also high time to give the victims of both sides the chance to have their stories heard before a neutral court. Only in this way would all Somalilanders embrace the legacy of the SNM beyond its present tribal confines. © 2005 Awdalnews Network

SOMALIA: New UN arms monitors appointed 12 Apr 2005 13:16:09 GMT Source: IRIN NAIROBI, 12 April (IRIN) - United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has named a four-man panel of experts to monitor the arms embargo against Somalia, UN News reported on Monday. The re-establishment of the monitoring group follows reports that various armed Somali factions were still receiving weapons from various sources. In a letter to the UN Security Council's president, released on Monday, Annan re-appointed an American, Melvin Holt Jr, and a Colombian, Joel Salek, both of whom had served on the last Somali monitoring group. Also on the team will be Harjit Singh Kelley of Kenya, who previously served on an expert panel on Liberian sanctions, and Bruno Schiemsky of Belgium, who served on a group monitoring an embargo against the Democratic Republic of Congo. On 15 March, the Council requested that the secretary-general re-establish "within 30 days and for a period of six months" a monitoring group "to continue investigating the implementation of the arms embargo by member states and violations, inter alia, through field-based investigations in Somalia." It asked the group to assess actions taken so far by the Somali authorities and other UN members states, especially Somalia's neighbours, "fully to implement the arms embargo". The Council imposed a weapons ban on Somalia in 1992, at the onset of civil war. A four-member panel of experts to investigate violations of the embargo was then appointed by Annan in September 2002.

Bridge of friendship being laid: Chinese PM Monday, 11 April , 2005, 11:22 New Delhi: Observing that a "bridge of friendship" was being laid between India and his country, visiting Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao on Monday said the two nations have agreed on a five-year plan for comprehensive cooperation in economy and trade to promote bilateral ties. Editor's Choice India, China to sign accord on boundary dispute 'Week of grappling with Nehru's bitter legacies' India, China hold crucial boundary talks He said the two countries had decided on inking an agreement on guiding principles of settlement of boundary question. "This is a very important visit in the history of our relations and I am sure this visit will certainly continue to promote friendly ties and cooperation between our two countries," Wen, who is in New Delhi on a four-day visit, told reporters after being accorded a ceremonial reception at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh standing beside him, the Chinese Premier expressed confidence that "we will be able to bring even closer our partnership". "We are going to agree on guiding principles of settlement of the India-China boundary question," Wen said. He said the two countries were set to release a five-year plan for comprehensive economic cooperation and trade. "We are going to put in place a bridge of friendship linking our two countries, a bridge that will lead both of us to the future," said Wen who arrived in India on Saturday and reached New Delhi on Sunday after a day-long stay in Bangalore. The two countries, in an effort to resolve the boundary issue, have agreed on a three-tier process, comprising an accord on the guiding principles at the first stage, agreed framework in the second and actual delineation of the border in the third.

Wen's visit to open new chapter: media Beijing, April 11. (PTI): Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to India will usher-in a new chapter in Sino-India ties and yield concrete results though the border dispute remains to be solved, the state media said today. "It is possible for a dragon and an elephant to be on good terms with each other. And that is the current case with China and India," the state-run China Daily said in an article on its opinion page. Wen, on his first visit to India, reached a consensus with his host on keeping the issue of border disputes on the backburner, the leading English-language newspaper noted even as Wen is slated to hold talks with Indian leadership today. "They have decided to reinforce the pragmatic co-operation path that the two countries have embarked on," it said, commenting that Wen's India visit, an important part of his South Asia tour, is expected to drive forward the 55-year modern relationship between the two countries.

Somalia government assures on relocation By KEN RAMANI The Federal Transition Parliament of Somalia will next week adopt a bill detailing the relocation plan. At the same President Abdullahi Yusuf yesterday appealed to Somali MPs to nurture unity for the sake of peace in their country. He was speaking at a Nairobi hotel where he hosted 223 MPs to lunch. The luncheon was the first get-together since the MPs engaged in a brawl at another Nairobi hotel on March 17. The MPs had disagreed over the city where the transitional government will be housed and also the idea of accepting troops from front-line states-Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti. Yesterday President Yusuf shared the high table with the Speaker Sheikh Hassan Adam whom most MPs blamed for taking sides in the debate over the relocation of the government. Other officials included several Cabinet ministers, the Chief Justice Yusuf Mire and the communications director in the Prime Minister’s Office, Mr Hussein Jabiri. The Prime Minister Prof Ali Mohammed Ghedi, accompanied by his deputy, Hussein Aideed and the governor of Somalia’s Central Bank were said to have travelled to Libya to discuss details of financial aid to be given by President Muammar Gaddafi. Yusuf said the MPs will also discuss and adopt the Igad Council of Foreign ministers resolution on the sending of a peace mission to Somalia. Parliament will also discuss the possibility of going on recess for about three months to allow MPs to travel and meet their constituents. "During the recess, the MPs will also establish district/regional administrative organs," explained Jabiri who translated for The Standard President Yusuf’s un-written speech which he delivered in Somali language. And one of the MPs yesterday appealed to the Government of Kenya to intervene in a conflict in Elwak side of Somalia. He claimed that at least 30 people were massacred on Saturday during a clan fighting. "The war is taking place eight KMs from the common border with Kenya. If not controlled, it will easily spillover to Kenya," explained MP Ibrahim Isaak. He said since there is no government in Somalia, Kenya had a humanitarian responsibility to the people of the region. "Let the violence be nipped in the bud before it gets out of hand. The violence is not helping anybody, leave alone those involved in blood-letting" said Isak. Meanwhile, 11 MPs from the Somalia Parliament have left for their country out of frustrations. Sources said the group of MPs are some of the renegades that pushing for the relocation of Parliament to Mogadishu, with or without President Yusuf. The group is insisting that the Somalia Charter be respected as it says Mogadishu is the capital city. Other reports said more than 30 MPs arrived in the capital yesterday to stake their support for Mogadishu as the seat of power. The Standard

A new chapter for Sino-Indian relations China Daily Updated: 2005-04-11 06:24 It is possible for a dragon and an elephant to be on good terms with each other. And that is the current case with China and India. Premier Wen Jiabao, on his first visit to India, reached a consensus with his host on keeping the issue of border disputes on the backburner. They have decided to reinforce the pragmatic co-operation path that the two countries have embarked on. Wen's Indian visit, an important part of his South Asia tour, is expected to drive forward the 55-year modern relationship between the two countries. The border disputes remain unsettled. But they will not become a drag on the progress of their relations. While working out a mechanism for a peaceful settlement of the issue, the two countries realize there is much to be gained by co-operation, and by expanding commerce and trade relations. Big does not necessarily mean rivalry. There are a lot of things that bring us together. Both of us prefer a world order that is more multipolar and takes greater account of our roles. The Chinese are no stranger to their neighbour's Bollywood movies and curries. We have always looked on our big neighbour on the other side of the Himalayas as our partner. We are happy to read the same message from them. People of the two countries have been getting to know each other better, which helps build trust. This lays a solid foundation for healthy progress in bilateral relations and more co-operation. The warm ties are going to bring concrete results. China and India are to open a free trade zone, an initiative China proposed to India when State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan visited the country last October. Efforts will be taken to reduce the areas of friction between the two countries, such as establishing a co-ordination mechanism to avoid hostile competition over energy. There is no doubt that trade is the engine driving Sino-Indian relations forward. However, there is a lot to be desired with the two countries' trade links. Bilateral trade stood at US$13.6 billion in 2004. That is only 1 per cent of China's global trade, and 9 per cent of India's. This indicates the huge opening for hard work from the two countries. Co-operation will help our individual economies. Bilateral investment flows are small, but growing. Chinese information technology companies want to learn from India's success in the service sector. Premier Wen started his four-day India visit in Bangalore, the country's Silicon Valley. China's manufacturing prowess is attractive to Indian companies. China now is a destination for some Indian software and services companies. China's new leadership has fine-tuned foreign policy for better getting along with our neighbours, considering them as our partners. The two countries' economic growth, and potential for faster development, have fueled outsiders' curiosity concerning a race between the two. But the two are not rivals on any front, including the political and economic. Progress in the two countries will consolidate the building blocks for further co-operation. The ups and downs of bilateral relations over the past 55 years have offered a plethora of lessons for the two countries' leaders. They are building a more mature relationship based on rationality and pragmatism. As early as in 2003 the two countries set up a joint study group on how their economies could benefit from each other and mapped out a blueprint for developing bilateral economic and trade links. This positive momentum on the economic front gave wings to the advancement of bilateral ties. Since 1990 every visit of Chinese and Indian high-ranking officials has pushed bilateral relations one stride forward. And there are now high hopes over what Premier Wen's visit to India will yield for Sino-Indian relations. (China Daily 04/11/2005 page6)

BBCSOMALI.COM 09 Abriil, 2005, 20:03 GMT; 23:03 SGA Madaxweynaha oo la kulmay Guddoomiyaha Baarlamaanka Magaalada Nairobi ayaa caawa waxaa ku kulmay Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya, Cabdullaahi Yusuf Axmed iyo Guddoomiyaha Baarlamaanka Sheriif Xasan. Kulankani wuxuu ahaa midkii ugu horreeyay tan iyo 17-kii bishii Maarso, markii mudanayaasha baarlamaanka Soomaaliya ay isu gacan qaadeen. Dad kulankaas xog ogaal u ah ayaa sheegay in labada mas'uul ay isa soo hor fariisiyiin diblomaasiyiin shisheeye, hase yeeshee ay ayagu markii dambe fadhi keligood ah ay yeesheen. Qof goob joog ka ahaa kulankaas ayaa ku tilmaamay in uu kulankoodu u ekaa mid jawi wanaagsan iyo is garad ku dhammaaday. Berrito ayaa loo ballansan yahay martiqaad uu Madaxweynuhu u fidiyay dhammaanba xubnaha baarlamaabka Soomaalida. Waxaa la filayaa in kulankaasi noqon doono mid wax ka tara xallinta khilaafka ay mudanayaasha baarlamaanka iyo xubnaha wasiirraduba ay ku kala qeybsan yihiin. Maaddaama labada dhinac ee doodda ay kala hoggaaminayeen Madaxweynaha iyo Guddoomiyuhu, in hadda ay berrito iyaga oo meel wax u isula wada ay isa soo garab fariistaan oo ay la hadlaaan mudanayaasha waxay noqon doontaa tallaabo horumar ah. Labada qodob ee khilaafku ka taagan yahay waa in ciidammo dalalka la deriska ah Soomaaliya la oggolaado in ay dalka yimaadaan iyo in kale iyo in ay dowladdu u guurto Muqdisho iyo in ay ku sii hakato Baydhaba iyo Jowhar.
