MP Dr Abdillahi Hashi Abib Member of Foreign Affairs Committee-Member of the House of People of Somalia Ph.D. Representative of Gabileh District and Awdal State of Somalia Defending Transparency and Accountability: An Investigative Somalia – Turkey Agreements and Public Servant’s Pledge Despite constitutional mandates requiring transparency and legislative oversight, the President has consistently refused to disclose these agreements to the Council of Ministers, the Federal Parliament, or Somali citizens. Determined to uncover the truth, I have obtained critical documents from whistleblowers within the Villa Somalia Office of the Economic Advisor to the President. These documents include: Favori LLC Agreement Defense Agreement – (Due to Security Concerns will not be Published) Ziraat Bank - Certified Memorandum and Articles of Association submitted to the Central Bank of Somalia (CBS) Fisheries Concessions Petroleum Concessions These agreements, signed in secrecy, bypass essential oversight mechanisms and undermine the principle of accountability enshrined in Somali governance. I feel a profound moral obligation to share these documents with Somali citizens, allowing them to understand the decisions made on their behalf and to form their own judgments. To ensure a thorough and impartial review, I am hiring Somali lawyers based in Mogadishu to analyze these documents comprehensively. Their findings will form the foundation of investigative reports, which I will publish - alongside the full text of these agreements - on my public platforms, including Twitter. This transparency is critical to fostering trust and empowering Somali citizens to demand accountability from their government. My investigation has not been without challenges. I have received direct threats aimed at silencing me, but I refuse to be intimidated. The oath I swore and the values I hold dear compel me to continue this work. I owe it to the Somali people to shine a light on any attempts to compromise their sovereignty, resources, and future. This commitment is deeply personal. My late father, a staunch defender of justice and good governance for over 40 years, set a powerful example of integrity and courage. His unwavering stance against corruption and mismanagement continues to inspire me. Following in his footsteps, I am honored to carry forward his legacy by standing for truth, justice, and the rule of law without fear or compromise. Despite attempts to deter me, I have been heartened by the overwhelming support from Somali citizens who encourage and stand with me in this oversight mission. This collective determination strengthens my resolve to deliver on my responsibilities. Together, we will hold those in power accountable, ensuring that governance in Somalia aligns with the principles of transparency, legality, and public trust. Let this be a reminder that no one is above the law, and no agreement, policy, or action should ever be hidden from the people it affects. For the love of Somalia and its people, I will not stop until justice and accountability prevail. https://twitter.com/MPDrAbib/article/1875620033159708722

Farah Ma'allim: It’s all so easy to understand the British/US/Ethiopian conspiracy to split up Somalia & create an unsustainable fake clan dominated enclave in Northern Somalia. AS is sponsored by the intelligence agencies of above Nations & Hargeisa Administration. All supreme/high leaders of AS are from the North. It’s a no brainer to say keep the South unsafe for the longest & then make a case for Somaliland recognition. In any case SS Khatumo/Awdal State have now put the last nail on the coffin of Somaliland project. Too bad for Mossad/MI6/CIA/Abiy for taking the intelligence of Somalis for granted. Somalia is a graveyard for empires. Listen to the wisdom of US Rangers in Black Hawk Down to understand what Somalis will sure as hell do naive adventurers.

Dr. Abdiweli #Gaas "It is true and I will not lie that #Somaliland supports #Alshabaab and they support it very much.

This is worth its own thread. Dr. A/Weli M A Gaas, former President of PL, discussed this in his book, and is now confirmed by SL Intel Chief. Dr. A/Weli Gaas https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19t6qMtsJm/ UN Security Council also spoke to the issue in its July 2024 regional security briefing. https://twitter.com/EIshmael_/status/1875332799235780792 Mustafe #Bacluul, Director of Intelligence in #Somaliland militia “ #Berbera which is the main source for our country's ecenomy; has been and still is a problem.

How about taking your own advice and staying away from H@rti territories? You know, unlike most secessionists with grandiose republican expansionist ideologies, you sound rational. We have been asking you to do just that in the past 30 years. We are actually very peaceful folks, and history attests to that. Check Oog, the most recent. There was nothing to stop us from going to Caynaba, our own city, but had to be considerate. Surely you could see we are not the ones on the march. I want nothing more than Somalis at peace and in harmony in their natural habitat.

Valid point, but if given a chance Xasan's legacy in death and destruction would be unimaginable. Be careful though, like many, you might be suffering from Stockholm syndrome fondly reminiscing about the good old shackles of tyranny. On the free will of nomads, and freedom of peoples, best lessons could be learnt from the history of the Germanic people whom the Roman empire tried to tame, and never succeeded. What you are advocating for is someone like Bismarck (Prussia) or Tito (Yugoslav) to rise to unite the tribes / peoples, and if you think about it, that was what Federalism was intended to do for the Somalis, alas now that it has been hijacked, the page has to be turned to resuscitate it. Let the groups grow at own pace. Again, valid point. It takes far more to build, and lot less to destroy. Let me remind you though: had PL done in the 2000s what it is doing today, do you think there would have been light burning in Jawhar, Baydhaba, Dhusamareeb, Kismayo, let alone Xamar? The cost of those lights in said cities, more than any, has been borne by PL, which is what you might be forgetting. Why has not PL done a, b, c and so forth. It had done more elsewhere, and the benefits are visible for all to reap in said cities. The biggest beneficiaries are reer SW ( A gentleman I know was a Sr army officer, who helped Shaatigaduud train and arm the RRA to liberate Bay & Bakool through Shaatigaduud's links with A Yusuf. He discusses the state of Baydhaba then, and now. Day and night. He lost an arm in those battles, and says it was all worth it). By the way, another credit to PL is to help SSCK dismantle the secessionist project. Now is the right time to award Makhir Sultanate the mantel of Garaad Dhidhin. Next, for reer Awdal. Now, PL desires to refocus. Is Deni the right leader? I have reservations. If you get a chance, read the story of Bangabandhu of Bangladesh, the man who popularised the phrase: "Friendship to all, and malice to none". That is whence Xasan plagiarised the phrase "Somali heshiis ah, dunida la heshiis ah". He is a gimmick with dictatorial aspirations, and if given a chance, he'll wreak havoc far greater than ever. XX, MMA & Co are just kids, who grew up in households where no original idea has ever been debated let alone incubated, in other words, ciyaal edeg xaaraan lagu anqariyey! U malayn maayo in ay abid uriyeen habeed geel.

That is the whole point. Let me take you back to the 90s. Do you recall bottom-up building block approach to nation building to which you had all been opposed then, yet are all enamoured with now. If so, in hindsight, proponents of the Federalist model rushed in overestimating dangers of anti-governance forces by sidestepping its predecessor model: Confederacy, intended to give way to Federalism, but unfortunately, the Federalist model has been hijacked, and the best way to rescue it is to return it back to its predecessor. I would suggest you consult Articles of Confederacy, and its its successor models. Postscript: To better understand, just imagine had Xasan, or Farmajo, or any other leader at the Federal level, had enough army and power to destabilise JL, as both attempted re: Ras Kamboni, Bu'aale, and Garbahaarey. The same applies to other FMSs. How does that differ from Siyad Barre? If he had enough power, he would have shut down Hargeysa and Garowe air space, as he has done in Kismayo. Do you still think this is a working model? You people are not serious thinkers.

We plan to bring back the Maakhir Sultanate, and are open to making concessions to the neighbours. Sanaag comprises 5 districts: a) Ceerigaabo, a shared city, b) H@rti reside in 3 districts: i) Laas Qoray, ii) Dhahar, and iii) Badhan, c) HY/HJ in one (Ceel Afweyn). H@rti resides in Xingalool, Buraan, Hadaaftimo, Yube, Ceelaayo, and nearly 40+ othe villeges in Sanaag namely Daara salaam, Maraje, Cawsane, Mindigale, Ceel buux, Ballibusle, Baraagaha qol, Damala xagar, Dhabar dalool , Biyo gudood, Shimbiraale, Carmale, Wardheer, Tooraboora, Cadcado, Durduri, Gacan, Xabaal shaawacle, Ceel la helay, Beeraara, Xidid, Xamur, Ceel La Qoday, Gebi dheer, HarWeyn iyo Qoraxjiif. There are a handful other villeges H@rti resides. Further, H@rti resides from Ceerigaabo to Bosaso, which streches 300+ km, another 300 +/- km to Nugaal, and another 280+ km to Sool. Is@q resides in Dayacan, a neighbourhood in Ceerigaabo, villeges in Ceel Afweyn district all the way to the border of Togdheer region. Yet, you still have the gall to claim it? Now, could either of you tell me what the names Sanaag & Ceerigaabo mean?

It is on. we'll see you in Garadag!

Aaaah I see Urur Samaale coming out of the woodwork singing from the same hymn. If you can not contribute intellectually, as I know neither of you could, do yourselves a favour not to make complete arse of yourselves, and just stay away, as this is a discussion for the intellectually curious mature souls. This discussion requires erudite minds, so shuuush. As the old hawk opined: "Ninkii dabinka meegaartay ee geri malaynaayey, sagaaradii majaha sudhatay baad maandhow ii tahaye"

The case against secession has been debated to death, perhaps you want to revisit those threads. I am pragmatic, and not suicidal, nor am I brain-dead. Secession has never been considered, and is not an option. This is the natural progression: Confederacy (interdependency): current state => Dual Federalism (intradepedency): possibly in 20 years if not more => Cooperative Federalism (Cohesive with greater cooperation): in years => Creative Federalism (The ultimate goal): lucky if in 100 years.

With Confederacy: a) Autonomy: - Member States (MSs) maintain a high degree of autonomy, and pursue their own policies ranging from institutions building to politics to economy to security amongst others whereas the National Government (NG) is designated to i) pursue and coordinate common national interest, and ii) provide protection of shared services and interests. b) Decentralisation: - Power is highly decentralised with MSs retaining significant power, and by extension sovereignty where the Nat. Gov't has control over explicitly delegated matters to it by MSs. MSs could withdraw some of said powers, and can withdraw from the Confederation. c) Supremacy of the law: - MSs are sovereign political entities ONLY affording the Nat. Gov't limited, distinct powers explicitly defined, and agreed upon. The Nat. Gov't lacks authority to compel compliance from MSs. d) Flexibility: - MSs have the ability to negotiate, modify, and update relationship with the Nat. Gov't. Significant national amendments would require MSs' consent, and consultation.

This reminds me of where Dhoodaan opined: " ... Maskax fiican ruuxaan lahayn wuu dardarayaaye, Adoo bari ka sugayuu galbeed kaaga soo degiye, Miyaan kuu dhameeyaa naxwaha mise bar baad dooni".

Saadamaad garan!

Trading concession for DDS: no taxes for incoming cargo ships at Bosaso & Garacad.

Not only is Confederacy on the menu, but its foundation has been planted to manage political configuration in the next 20 years, and to direct the public discourse. Let us see if we'll be ready for Federalism in 20 years. Good reflections of the reality on the ground though. Be careful though, you might be branded unpatriotic for applying logic to the rudderless fleet Xasan & Co are running ashore. You see, in the animal world, in the event of an advancing storm, there are those with heightened sense of ensuing danger, and those with none. Those that can detect dark clouds gathering force make rescue plans for all, and those with no sense of danger perish only to bleat "help" at the closing bell. The former is defamed for cautioning the unsuspecting cowering masses for the beckoning danger. We have been here before, are familiar with the bleats of the cravens, and get on with the obligation at hand. Dare I say the biggest benefactors will be none other than those raging puppeteers. Therein lies the difference, and as the old poet reflects: "Guuguulihiiyow haddaad guga u ooyayso, Oo aad moodday keligaa inuu gubayo jiilaalku, Oo aad gamoorahakan maran gama’ la’aan diiday, Ayna gocosho awgeed ilmadu kaaga gobo’laysay, Guumays cirroobaan ahaye war an ku gaarsiiyo" It was Tallaabo whose naivety and nacamlayn got my goat, and not MMA whom I treat as if that 40 year old left at home with the "maxays" when 12 year olds have gone to war with their fathers. See, I grew up with the following verses at the back of my mind: Wiil 12 jira hadduu lalli ahaan waayo, Looyaanta dirireed hadduu laagga rogi waayo, Liibaanta xoolaad hadduu luug ku dari waayo, Marti leyl dhexaad timid hadduu luun ka rogi waayo, Kol haddii labaatan u duggoo laba u dheeraato, Raganimo luddiis kuma jirtee leexaye ogaada! I am more interested in advancing discussion around this concept, and less concerned of dimwits who wish to derail a meaningful discourse to be had, as their contribution is nought.
