  1. Yeah, we already established this 5 days ago. And this one is another lie. Sxb, maxaa beenta kugu falay? :confused::confused:
  2. Voice Of America Somalian leaders have concluded a conference in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland with an agreement on the formation of a new elected government. Somalian President Shaykh Sharif Shaykh Ahmad and the president of the Puntland regional administration, Abdirahman Farole, both attended the conference, along with international envoys from the United Nations and the African Union. The three-day conference ended early Saturday, with representatives agreeing to set up a bicameral legislature. The lower house is to have 225 seats divided among Somalia's major clans. The upper house will contain representatives from each of Somalia's states. Because new states may yet be created, the number of seats in the upper house has not been finalized. The new parliament is also expected to have a membership of 30 percent women. Somalia is to adopt a constitution before the elections which are to be held within a year. During opening statements of the conference, Puntland's President Farole urged leaders and the Somalian people to reconcile their differences and work together to establish a strong and stable democracy. Somalia has not had a recognized central government since 1991 when rebels took over the country and it spiraled into chaos.
  3. AFP MOGADISHU — Somalia's disparate leaders have agreed on the basic structure of a new parliament and government to replace the fragile transitional body that has failed to bring peace to the war-torn country. Constant infighting, rampant corruption and bloody attacks by Islamist Shebab insurgents have undermined Somalia's unelected Transitional Federal Government (TFG), whose Western-backed mandate ends in August. Somalia's president, the presidents of the breakaway Puntland and Galmudug regions, and the commander of the powerful anti-Shebab militia Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa signed the deal under UN auspices. The accord proposes a parliamentary system for anarchic Somalia, with both Puntland and Galmudug recognised as states within a federal system. A new 225-member lower house -- including at least 30 percent women -- will be nominated by "traditional elders assisted by prominent civil society members," the agreement reads, released late Saturday after a three-day meeting. The agreement is the latest among more than a dozen attempts to resolve Somalia's more than two decade-old civil war, with the country split between rival factions and pirate gangs who hijack ships far across the Indian Ocean. Al-Qaeda allied Shebab fighters, who control large parts of central and southern Somalia where they are battling African Union-backed government forces as well as Kenyan and Ethiopian troops, immediately condemned the deal. "The agreement is treason because it is part of a master plan of the international community to send Somalia back to colonisation," Shebab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage told reporters. "The mujahedeen fighters will not accept such conferences and their outcomes -- instead we fight against them and, with the help of Allah, we will win the war," he said. Somalia has been without an effective central government since 1991, and the leadership in the capital Mogadishu is propped up by a 10,000-strong AU force from Uganda, Burundi and Djibouti. In addition, a 1,000-member upper house -- the National Constituent Assembly -- will be nominated by agreement signatories "assisted by traditional leaders and civil society" groups. The upper house too must include at least 30 percent women. "To ensure trust in the federal parliament, members must be patriotic, honest and of good standing in Somali society," the agreement reads, noting that anyone guilty of "serious crime or crimes against humanity" will be barred. "They must respect and uphold the rights of all Somalis and demonstrate tolerance towards all," says the deal, signed in the northern town of Garowe. Upper house members will be selected from a "cross-section of society" including representatives from the youth, businesses, diaspora, religious and traditional leaders and "existing and emerging regional administrations." The deal also recommends "a compensation package" to appease existing lawmakers not selected for the new parliament, many of whom command militia forces. The deal comes ahead of a London conference on Thursday aimed at mobilising international players to tackle Somalia's multiple political and humanitarian crises. Famine zones in Somalia declared by the UN last August were announced to have improved to emergency conditions earlier this month, but despite massive international aid efforts, conditions remain grim. A third of Somalia's population need emergency aid and mortality rates remain among the highest in the world, the UN warns.
  4. BBC NEWS Somalia leaders reach agreement on re-shaping politics Key Somali leaders have signed a plan to try to end the country's two-decade-long political crisis. The agreement provides for a new, smaller parliament and an upper house of elders. The deal came at a meeting in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, but did not include some key actors. Al-Shabab militants, who control large areas of central and south Somalia, and the self-declared independent state of Somaliland did not take part. Federal state The latest agreement provides the first indication of what Somalis would like to see from this week's key conference in London. For three days Somali leaders had met in Garowe, the capital of Puntland. Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed was joined by leaders of the pro-government militia, al-Sunna Wal Jamaaca, and senior officials from another semi-autonomous region, Galmudug. The consultative conference hammered out a blueprint for a future government, to replace the current transitional government, whose mandate expires in August. Somalia would become a federal state, with Mogadishu as the federal capital. The plan envisages: - 225 MPs, halving the existing number - an upper chamber of 54 Somali elders - women would make up 30% of parliament - civil society and "respected women" will nominate and select the women members - parliamentarians will be drawn from Somalia's traditional regions and reflect the nation's clans The Garowe agreement was witnessed by representatives of the international community, including the African Union and United Nations special representative, Augustine Mahiga. Matt Baugh, the British ambassador to Somalia, welcomed the agreement as "a step forward in the political process", but warned that all parties to the plan would have to "deliver on what they have said they are going to do". After so many agreements in recent years, there remains much scepticism among Somali observers about whether this plan can succeed and many details need to be worked out, starting at Thursday's Somali conference in London. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17088433

  7. I add to the liveliness of your lovely thread but you keep referring to me in pictures. Why, do you need my real one? I mean, forget that, I am from a prestigious background gabar, imagine our future kids being leaders before they even become zygotes. I know, I can't think of it either, it's mind boggling.
  8. Gaalkacyo should be made into a federal city like Dire Dawa. The same with Erigabo and Kismayo.

  20. HARGEYSA, Somalia Feb 18 2012 (Garowe Online) – Former Somaliland President Dahir Riyale rejected the Buhodle invasion by Somaliland President Mohamed Ahmed Silanyo, Garowe Online reports. Dahir Riyale former Somaliland President and leader of the opposition party UDUB spoke to VOA on Thursday said that he felt that the recent offensive by Somaliland troops in the contested region of Ayn. “The war in Buhodle had no purpose and usually war without purpose is lost,” said Mr. Riyale. Somaliland troops attacked Buhodle last month but were repulsed by local forces opposed to Somaliland's secession from Somalia. Although the fighting has subsided, military tensions remain high in the region. Mr. Riyale was asked about the announcement of a self proclaimed Awdal state, a region within Somaliland, “I think that these states are part of the political disputes in Somaliland. Awdal region is where Somaliland was born.” Mr. Riyale was asked about the upcoming London conference on Somalia, in which Somalia’s leaders will be attending, including Somaliland President Ahmed Mohamed Silanyo. Mr. Riyale did not welcome President Silanyo’s decision to attend the London conference. “My position did not change and I don’t think that Somaliland should attend this conference,” said Riyale during the VOA interview. President Silanyo has come under criticism after a botched attempt to capture Buhodle a city that shares a border with Ethiopia. President Silanyo recently fired his two of Somaliland’s highest military officials and has yet to pull out his troops despite recent appeals to withdraw from the region by the Puntland government and local clans.
