Somaliland detainees are being transferred from Laascaanood to Mogadishu, where the Federal Government of Somalia, in coordination with the ICRC, will arrange for their return to Hargeisa. Garowe (PP News Desk) — The Somaliland Administration has come under criticism for rejecting a detainee exchange initiative facilitated by the Federal Government of Somalia. Somaliland’s Information Minister yesterday said that only the direct parties to the conflict — the Somaliland Administration and the SSCK (Sool, Sanaag, Cayn and Khatumo) administration — have the legitimacy “to arrange such exchanges”. The SSC administration recently handed over 25 Somaliland detainees to the Federal Government of Somalia in a goodwill gesture, aiming to initiate a formal exchange of detainees captured during the 2023 Laascaanood conflict. Critics argue that Somaliland’s position is politically untenable. Historical precedent shows that third-party-facilitated exchanges are not unprecedented — in 2005, a successful exchange between Puntland and Somaliland was arranged by civil society groups. Somaliland detainees, some of whom hold Somali Region of Ethiopia identification or claim to hail from cross-border communities such as Awaare, Dawa’aley and Awbarre, complicate the situation. Their political identity raises questions about legal jurisdiction, which reinforce the Somali Federal Government’s role as a more neutral and capable authority in such matters. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post Somaliland Administration Under Fire for Rejecting Detainee Exchange Brokered by Somali Federal Government appeared first on Puntland Post.

Capital Hill is banking on four grants from the United Kingdom-based Global Health Partnership (GHP) to help tackle persistent challenges in the country’s health sector. The grants, amounting to over £700,000, are expected to strengthen Malawi’s health systems, address workforce shortages, and improve service delivery across urban and remote areas. The Ministry of Health said the new funding from the Global Health Partnership is a major boost towards equitable and quality healthcare delivery in Malawi. Secretary for Health, Samson Ndolo, said the grants will play a pivotal role in addressing some of the system’s most pressing challenges, including critical shortages of skilled personnel, uneven workforce distribution, and leadership gaps. “If you look at the impact of capacity building, if you have trainers, in theory, yes, but you can never say everybody. We should build enough capacity even after this program is done. We need to continue the capacity-building efforts, which we cannot do in one year, but over time we should be able,” Ndolo explained. The Deputy Development Director at the British High Commission, Dan Pine, stressed the importance of investing in health workers. He said: “It’s clear that health workers are the backbone of the health system here and there are quite a lot of gaps when we look at how the health system is working here across the various districts of Malawi.” “Trying to find ways of supporting health workers in a sustainable way here is what we’re really trying to do and these partnerships between organizations in the UK and partnerships across Africa as well, so you interview the lady from Kenya, are a great way of trying to build that capacity sustainably,” Pine said. The program is expected to run from April 2025 to January 2026, The initiative will focus on Malawi, Ethiopia, and Somaliland, with Malawi receiving four targeted grants for key health institutions. GHP country representative, Dickens Binali, noted that the motivation and well-being of healthcare professionals is central to the quality of care they provide: “There has to be initiative, there have to be modules that has been set up for these healthcare workers to continuously learn and develop themselves and be able to stand out in their field. As you know, the medical field is one of the fields that is quite involved. So the new disease is coming in, so there have to be those initiatives where you are giving that platform for them to continuously learn,” Binali narrated. The grants include just over £130,000 from Cambridge Global Health Partnership to Kamuzu University of Health Sciences and just under £200,000 from Florence Nightingale Foundation for the Nurses and Midwives Council. Others are £199,773 from Amref Health Africa UK and Malawi for the Medical Council, and £199,115 from the International Centre for Eye Health, also for KUHeS.

Somaliland detainees being transported from Laascaanood to Mogadishu, where the Federal Government of Somalia, in conjunction with the ICRC, will facilitate their return to Hargeisa. Garowe (PP Editorial) — The Information Minister of the Somaliland Administration stated yesterday that “the Somaliland Administration would not agree to an exchange of detainees with the Federal Government of Somalia.” His justification for this position was that only the parties to the conflict — namely, the Somaliland Administration and the Sool, Sanaag, Cayn Khatumo (SSC) administration — can legitimately arrange such exchanges. The SSC administration has transferred 25 Somaliland detainees to the Federal Government of Somalia, as a prelude to a formal exchange of detainees captured during the Laascaanood conflict in 2023. Several factors make the Somaliland Administration’s argument politically implausible. In 2005, a detainee exchange between the Somaliland Administration and Puntland was facilitated by the Puntland Development Research Center and the Hargeisa-based Academy for Peace and Development. The exchange took place in Adhicaddeeye, the site of clashes between Puntland State and Somaliland forces in 2004. What makes detainee exchange more complicated in 2025 is both the nature of the conflict and the identity of the detainees. The conflict is rooted in the secession claim of Somaliland administration. In 2023 the Somaliland Administration defied UN Security Council calls to withdraw its troops from the outskirts of Laascaanood. Subsequently, it called for a two-state solution as a precondition for halting the shelling of Laascaanood. The identity of some of the Somaliland detainees strengthens the Federal Government of Somalia’s claim to be the appropriate authority to facilitate detainee exchanges. Some detainees hold IDs issued in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Others claimed to originate from areas in the Somalia region of Ethiopia: Awaare (Garhajis sub-clan of the Isaaq), Dawa’aley (Arap sub-clan of the Isaaq), and Awbarre (Awdal Clan clan). Based on these claims, should the detainees be considered Ethiopian citizens or Somali citizens? Several detainees from the Awdal Clan clan claimed that they had joined the secessionist forces after former Somaliland Vice President Abdirahman Sayli’i was sent to Borama to recruit volunteers for the conflict. In 2005, Somalia had a transitional federal government that was less than a year old. Somalia has a permanent federal government, established 12 years ago in 2012. It is now the only institutionally capable authority for facilitating detainee exchanges stemming from a complex conflict in Northern Somalia. © Puntland Post, 2025 The post Why Somaliland Administration Is Wrong to Refuse a Detainee Exchange Facilitated by the Somali Federal Government appeared first on Puntland Post.

Ra’iisal Wasaare Xamse Cabdi Barre (bidix); Kabtan Ayuub (midig). Stuttgard (Faallo) — Koox dallinyararo oo taageera kala goynta Soomaaliya oo ku sugan Jarmalka ayaa si been ah ugu soo eedeeyay Kabtan Ayuub, oo caan ka ah baraha bulshada, inuu booqdday Goojacadde oo ay ku tilmaameen meel argaggixisada Al-shabaab ay ku sugan tahay. Booqashada Ra’iisal Wasaare Xamse ku tagay Laascaanood ayaa si cad u beenisay in argaggisixo ay ku sugan tahay Sool. Maamulkii Muuse Biixi, madaxweynihii hore ee maamulka Somaliland, ayaa 2023kii ku guuldarreystay inuu fidiyo beenta in “Khawaarij ku sugan tahay Laascaanood.” Dhallinyarada ka been-sheegtay Kabtan Ayuub beentii Muuse Biixi uun bay fidinayeen. Baaritaan kaddib hay’adaha amniga ee Jarmalku waaxay ogaadeen in Kabtan Ayuub uusan booqanin meel argaggixiso haysato. Maxaa dhici kara haddii Maxamuud Xaashi, Xirsi Xaaji iyo Cabdiraxamaan Cirro lagu eedeeyo inay colaad isir naceyb ku salaysan hurinayaan iyada oo loo marayo xilalka ay hayaan, siyaasadaha ay taageeraan iyo dhalashada labaad ay haystaan? Shalay Faysal Cali Waraabe wuxuu taageerayay Al-shabaab. Maanta qof kasta oo siyaasad ahaan u taageeray duqeyntii Laascaanood waa laga dacweyn karaa hay’adaha sharciga ee dalalka kale. Dad badan way og yihiin in hadalladii Adna Aadan Ismcaaiil ee ku saabsanaa taageeradeedii duqeynta Laascaanood ay sababeen in la joojyay dhammaan martiqaadyadii hay’aduhu u fidin jireen si loo weyneeyo hawlihii ay ka qabatay caafimaadka haweenka iyo dhallaanka. Jaalliyadaha Puntland waa inay tallaabo cad ka qaadaan beenta taageerayaasha goosasho doonku ka sheegeen Kabtab Ayuub oo ah nin caan ku ah la dagaallanka argaggixisada. W.Q. Cabdiraxmaan H. C.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Ciidamada Mareykanka oo kaashanaya Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya ayaa maanta duqeyn ku burburiyay doomo sidday hub iyo saanad ciidan oo loo waday kooxda Al-Shabaab. Howlgalkaan oo ka dhacay gudaha biyaha Soomaaliya ayaa lagu burburiyay hub iyo saanad ciidan oo kooxda loogu tala galay, kuwaas oo lagu qalabeyn lahaa maleeshiyada Al-Shabaab. Doomahan ayaa la sheegay in aysan wadan wax calan ah oo lagu aqoonsan karo dalka laga leeyahay. “Taliska Mareykanka ee Afrika (AFRICOM), oo kaashanaya Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya, ayaa duqeyn cirka ah ka fuliyay biyaha gudaha ee Soomaaliya, si loo burburiyo hub casri ah oo saarnaa dooni aan calan wadan iyo dooni kale oo yar oo taageero siinaysay,” ayaa lagu yiri bayaan kasoo baxay Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya. Hubka la burburiyay oo loogu tala galay kooxda Al-Shabaab ayaa khatar ku ahaa amniga Soomaaliya iyo saaxiibada caalamka ee taageeraya dadaallada nabad-dhiska. Qiimeynta hore ee AFRICOM ayaa muujinaysa in duqeyntan lagu dilay dhammaan argagixisadii saarnaa labada dooni, iyadoo aan wax khasaare ah soo gaarin shacabka. Inkasta oo aan la shaacin halka ay doomahan ka yimaadeen, haddana waxaa loo badinayaa inay kasoo shiraacdeen dhanka Yemen, oo xarun u ah kooxda Xuutiyiinta — kuwaas oo dhawaan heshiis hoose uu dhexmaray iyaga iyo kooxda Al-Shabaab oo ka dagaalanta gudaha Soomaaliya.

Laascaanood (Caasimada Online) – Maamulka SSC-Khaatumo ayaa Somaliland u aqoonsaday magac cusub, kadib booqashadii Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Soomaaliya, Xamza Cabdi Barre uu ku tegay Laascaanood, kaasi oo ah “Kooxda Gooni-goosadka Waqooyi Galbeed”. Magacan ayaa la iskugu raacay in loo aqoonsado Somaliland, kadib shirkii Golaha Wasiirrada SSC-Khaatumo oo ka dhacay magaalada Laascaanood oo haatan ah xarunta maamulka SSC. Shirkan oo uu guddoomiyay hoggaamiyaha maamulka SSC-Khaatumo, Cabdiqaadir Axmed Aw-Cali ayaa lagu bogaadiyay safarkii taariikhiga ahaa ee Xamza ku tegay halkaasi, kaasi oo ay SSC-Khaatumo ugu aqoonsadeen dawlad goboleed buuxa. Golaha ayaa sidoo kale bogaadiyey go’aankaas iyo safarkaas taariikhiga ah ee wefdıgaas ballaadhani ku yimaaddeen deegaanka. Dhanka kale Shirka ayaa diirradda lagu saaray arrimaha amniga, difaaca, midnimada iyo siyaasadda, sida lagu sheegay bayaan kasoo baxay maamulka SSC-Khaatumo. Ugu dambayn, Golaha ayaa go’aamiyey in Somaliland oo haatan ka talisa Gobolka Woqooyi Galbeed ee Soomaaliya loo aqoonsado “Kooxda Gooni-goosadka Waqooyi Galbeed (KGWG).” Tan iyo markii ay lumisay Somaliland deegaanada ay haatan SSC ku hayso gacanta, loona aqoonsaday maamul goboleed rasmi ah, waxay labada dhinac hawada isku marinayeen hadallo kulul, iyadoo laga cabsi qabo in dhinacyada uu markale dagaal dhexmaro. Si kastaba, Safarka Xamza ee Laascaanood ayaa muujiyay taageerada dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ee maamulkan, oo haatan loo aqoonsaday maamul goboleed buuxa, kana qeyb-galaya miiska lagu gaarayo arrimaha masiiriga ah.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibadda Soomaaliya, Axmed Macallin Fiqi ayaa dalbaday in liiska argagixisada la geliyo siyaasiga caanka ah ee reer Somaliland, Faysal Cali Waraabe oo shalay si aan gabasho lahayn u taageeray Shabaab, sheegayna inay dhawaan qabsan doonaan caasimadda dalka. Fiqi oo ka fal-celiyay qoraalka uu shalay soo saaray Waraabe, kaasoo uu ku sheegay in kooxdaasi ay magaalada Muqdisho qabsan doonto bisha May illaa June 2025, ayaa tan u cuskaday fashil dowladeed oo uu ku eedeeyay dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya. Wasiirku wuxuu garaad xumo ku tilmaamay hadalka kasoo yeeray Waraabe, wuxuuna ku eedeeyay inuu si toos ah ugu biiray kooxda Al-Shabaab, oo haatan dagaal adag kula jirta geesiyaasha ciidanka xoogga dalka iyo kuwa deegaanka. “Waa garaad xumo hadalka uu ku hadaaqay. Horay ayuu carruurtiisii ugu biiriyay ISIS (Daacish), haddana isagii ayaa kooxda argagixisada Al-Shabaab si toos ah ugu biiray, sida kuwii ka horreeyay ay ugu biireen,” ayuu yiri Wasiir Fiqi oo u jawaabay Faysal Cali Waraabe. Wuxuu intaas ku daray: “Waraabe waa in la geliyaa liiska argagixisada lana soo taagaa maxkamad.” Arrimahan ayaa imanaya xilli uu meel xasaasi ah marayo dagaalka kooxda Al-Shabaab, isla markaana maalmihii dambe la arkayay deegaano laga xoreeyay kooxda oo haddana ay weerarro rogaal celis ah kula wareegeen. Inkasta oo dowladda federaalka Soomaaliya ay muujisay ka go’naanshaheeda gulufka socda, haddana waxaa jira gaabis iyo habacsanaan ay tahay in si deg-deg ah wax looga qabto, si guul wax ku ool ah looga gaaro dagaalka Shabaab, oo ay nooga baxeen halyeeyo naftooda u huray xoreynta dalkeenna.
