Abu Dubai (Caasimaddda Online) – Sida ilo wareedyo lagu kalsoonaan karo ay xaqiijiyeen, dhaxal-sugaha dalka Imaaraadka Carabta Maxamed Bin Zayed ayaa bilaabay dagaal culus oo uu la galayo Dhaxal Sugaha Dalka Sacuudiga Maxamed Bin Salman kadib markii uu Riyadh u arkay inay caqabad ku tahay saameynta wadankiisa ee Gobolka.

Madaxweynaha Jubbaland, Axmed Maxamed Islaam ayaa waxa uu ka jawaabey eedeymo maamulkiisa dhowaanahaan uga imaanayey qaar kamida murashaxiinta doorashada fooda nagu soo haysa. Eedeymahaasi oo uu Axmed Madoobe ku tilmaamay “waxba kama jiraan” ayaa ahaa in Guddiga doorashadda uu isaga u xag-linayaa iyo in uu afduubanayo nidaamka soo xulista Xildhibaanadda cusub. “Murashaxiinta waxaa lagu yaqiinay in ay dhaliilaa maamulka, laakiin haddda iyagaa dhibaato abuuraya oo ay laamihii amniga ka cararayaan,” ayuu ku yiri khudbadiisa munaasabadda Ciidul Fidriga. Madaxtooyada ayaa ku eedeysan in ay maal-gelineyso olale daaqada looga saarayo Axmed Madoobe xili wasaarada arrimaha gudaha federaalka dhowaan soo saartay Habraac loo marayo doorashooyinka maamulada. Hogaamiyaha maamulka Kismaayo ee xafiiska jooga tan iyo 2013-kii oo si adag ka fal-celiyey gacma-gacmeynta xukuumada iyo bayaanka wasaaradda ayaa wuxuu si weyn uga digay in ay ka dhalato gacan ka hadal. Habraaca wasaaradda ayuu tibaaxay in loo baahnaa in la sameeyo kahor aas-aaskii dowlad goboleedyadda shanta ah ee waqti xaadirkaan waddanka ka jira. “Marka hore waxaa la lahaa muddo kororsi buu doonayaa oo dacayaad aheyd, haddana waxay leeyihiin guddiga baa si wax ka yihin. Doorashada nidaamka saxda ah iyo sida uu qabo dastuurka Jubbaland ay ku dhaceysaa. Guddi ayaa jira oo iyaga iyo aniga u dhaxeeya. Cid farogelin kartaa ma jirto, sidey shalay u soo qab-sadeenn reer Jubbaland ayey maantana u qabsanayaa,” ayuu xusay. – Weerarka madaxda dowladda federaalka – Mr Axmed Madoobe oo Kismaayo ka xoreeyay Al-Shabaab isaga oo garab ka helaya Kenya ayaa waxa uu mar kale doonayaa in dib loo doorto hasayeeshee waxaa ka biyo diidan madaxda dowlada oo murashax gaar ah wata. “Waxaan isku deynay in aan isku keeno oo wax badan la isla qaato. Macal-asaf-Shadiid! Hogaanka dowladda ee maanta jira waxaa uu madow kaga jiraa waxa waddankan kasoo dhacay iyo waxa loosoo maray,” ayuu shaaciyey Axmed Madoobe. Isaga oo hadalkiisa sii wata oo ku dhaleeceeyay madaxda ugu sareysa dowladda federaalka “falal aan ku jirin” Axdiga Qaran ee qabyadda ayaa waxaa uu ka digay in la isku dayo awood-adeegsasho. “Dowladda waxaan oran lahaa ha ilaaliso waxa heshiiska lagu yahay. Dastuurbaa lagu heshiiyey. Isagagaasi lagu kala aran-yahay. Madaxweynaha, Afhayeenka iyo Ra’iisul Wasaaraha isagey ku yimaadeen. Hadii kaasi la waayo Soomaaliya way is-garatay, nin-nin ka xoog badan ma jiro. Hadii dastuurka lagu dhaqmi waayo oo loo hogaan-sami waayo waxa dadka ka dhaxeeya, cidna-cid kale ma qasbi karto, ma xoog karto, Soomaaliduna dhaqankii xumaanta ayey ku noqoneysaa, taasina xal maaha, waa in Dastuurka lagu dhaqmo, loona hogaan-samo isagaasi,” ayuu hoosta ka xariiqay, isaga oo ay caro badan ka muuqato. – ‘Qaacidada Annaa Iri ee Villa Soomaaliya ma aqbalayo’ – Madaxweynaha Jubbaland oo sii hadlaya ayaa wuxuu ku eedeeyay madaxda dowlada federaalka “federaal diidnimo iyo kali-talisnimo” taasi oo uu si cad daaha uga rogay in uusan marnaba aqbali doonin. “Waxaan leeyahay madaxda dowladda dhexe, waddankaan boogog buu leeyahay ma bog-sanin, isku wadda buu u baahan yahay, sharci buu u baahan yahay, oo lagu ilaalin karaa ee laguma wada joogi karo ‘Anna iri”.. Qaacidada aan shalay Shabaabka ku diiday in maanta Villa Soomaaliya laga soo yeeriyo ma aqbalayo. Ha-qaateen sharciga ay meesha ku joogaan, hadey ku joogi waayaan sharciga, qof walba irid buu leeyahay isagaa loo baneynayaa oo maraya, aan ilaalino sharcigaan ku heshiinay ee yaalla,” ayuu ku nuux-nuuxsaday. Hogaamiyaha Jubbaland oo sii hadlaya ayaa waxaa uu “waxba kama jiraan iyo dhar la isku soo cabiray ku sifeeyay” dhamaan sharciyadda ay diyaarisay xukuumadda sida kan doorashooyinka iyo kheyraadka. “Boogagta wali ay bisil-yihiin. Waxaana dooneynaa in la bogsiiyo. Kaliya ma ahan Kismaayo oo tusaale idin kugu fulin tahay meelaha kale oo idil way kala siman yihiin,” ayuu raaciyey. Amniga oo uu ka digay in la siyaasadeedyo lana abuuro xasilooni daro baahsan ayuu carabka ku adkeeyay in uusan marnaba indhaha ka fiirsan doonin, wallow uusan shaacin talaabada uu qaadayo. “Murashaxiinta iyo ragga kale ee halkaan imaan doona wixii olale ah guddiga ayay u taalaan, waxa kalena waa laga gorgortami karaa, laakiin mas-aladda amniga gorgortan ma gelayso. Amniga waa dhaxalka aan ka tagayo. Dad wada nool oo walalo ah oo qof kasta sharciga la marsiiyo ayaan rabaa in aan ka tago. Kuwii shalay dhibta lagula gaarsiiyey ee dhabarkooda la saarnaa baa haatan socda, dowlada dhexe dhibaa naga soo gaarey, in aan ka gaabsanay oo heerkan ka keentay. Reer Jubbalanow nabad baa wax idin ah. Odayaasha iyaga ayay koreysaa mas’uuliyadda ugu badan isu imaada oo heshiiya,” ayuu kusoo xiray hadalkiisa madaxweyne Axmed Madoobe. Hadaladaan fariimaha culus xambaarsan ee kasoo yeeray hogaamiyaha Jubbaland ayaa imaanaya iyadda oo dowladda federaalka ah ay wado dedaaladii ugu dambeeyay ee ay ugu dhaqaalo uruur-saneyso in ay ka taqalusto Axmed Madoobe iyo Xaafka Galmudug.

A section of Garissa leaders wants the maritime boundary row between Kenya and Somalia resolved diplomatically. The leaders, among them county assembly Majority leader Mohamed Gabow, Kenya Livestock Marketing Council chair Dubat Amey and Garissa county peace secretary Hassan Osman, said separately on Monday that the case at the International Criminal Justice court should be withdrawn to pave the way for negotiations. The case at The Hague is over the boundary in the Indian Ocean. For Kenya, the boundary lies parallel to the line of latitude but Somalia wants the boundary extended to the southeast as an extension of the land border. In 2009, both countries agreed that the United Nations commission in charge of mediating border disputes should determine the borderline, the issue has ended up at the ICJ. Gabow said Kenya and Somalia have had a long-standing relationship even after Somalia degenerated into civil war following the ouster of Siad Barre as president. “Kenya who stood with Somalia to the extent of hosting over one million refugees for over two decades. The border dispute that can be resolved amicably should not be allowed to bring bad blood between the two countries,” Gabow said. He said there is growing tension between the citizens of the two countries especially in Northeastern which directly borders war-torn Somalia. Amey urged President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Somalia counterpart Mohamed Farmajo to initiate talks and have the matter resolved to foster good relations. “If we allow the ICJ to resolve the matter, it would most likely escalate the matter and may even result in war with both countries bound to incur heavy losses,” Amey said. He added, “I can see the hand of foreign influence in this matter because of the rich oil and gas that they want to exploit in the Somali coastline.” Osman said residents were keenly following the matter and hoped that reason will prevail.

The relationship between Kenya and Somalia continued to deteriorate even as a verdict on the maritime boundary dispute between the two neighbours draws nearer. In a diplomatic letter sent to Somalia on May 21, Kenya threatened to use force if Somali citizens continued to obstruct or destroy the fence it is building along the two countries’ border. “Any continued obstruction or destruction of the fence shall be responded to forcefully,” stated the letter signed by Kenya’s foreign ministry and delivered by Kenya’s mission in Mogadishu to Somalia’s ministry of foreign affairs on May 25. Construction teams In the letter, Kenya accuses Somalia of “continuously” obstructing the construction of the fence and using women and children to cause harm to security personnel and construction teams. “Kenya is assessing the cost of damage caused by Somali citizens with a view of demanding compensation,” stated the two-page letter seen by The Standard. In the letter, Kenya accuses Somalia of not reciprocating its goodwill. “When Kenya suspended the construction of the fence for two weeks in 2017, it exhibited the highest level of patience, good faith, friendship and good neighbourliness. “It is Kenya’s expectation that Somalia will reciprocate by taking appropriate action to ensure that Kenya’s border security is not obstructed or in any way inhibited by the actions of its citizens,” stated the letter. Kenya, however, said it was ready and committed to undertaking what it described as “a boundary reaffirmation exercise” at the earliest opportunity as long as the matter was communicated through proper diplomatic channels. Somalia has, however, denied that it is frustrating Kenya’s efforts to secure its border. “The government of Somalia categorically rejects the allegation that it is in any way involved in the alleged conduct described in the aforementioned Note Verbale,” said Somalia in response to Kenya’s letter. “The government of Somalia is, moreover, not aware of any and does not have any evidence of any damage caused by its citizens to the wall/fence. Should the Government of Kenya wish to share relevant information with the government of Somalia, the latter would be happy to give it appropriate consideration,” wrote Somalia. Somalia proposed the formation of a technical and legal working group to iron out any differences between the two countries. On the maritime border dispute that is currently pending before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Somalia said it would respect Kenya’s borders and expected the same from Kenya. “The government of Somalia assures the Government of Kenya of its respect for the territorial integrity of the Republic of Kenya and trusts that the Government of Kenya equally respects the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia,” wrote Somalia in a letter dated May 29. Between the lines, the letters spoke volumes of a diplomatic tussle between the two neighbours. The Kenyan government has since ordered planes originating from Somalia to first land in Wajir. On May 28, Kenya also banned unaccompanied luggage on planes from Somalia. Kenya is also said to have drawn a list of 66 Somalia officials banned from entering the country. The secret list, whose existence The Standard learnt of from a source who didn’t want to be named, contains the names of a Somali Cabinet minister, a former prime minister, a member of parliament, the deputy head of Somalia’s intelligence agency and the owners of a telecommunication firm. Kenyan nationals of Somali origin, some of whom are from the same clan as that of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo are also included in the list. More restrictions A source at Somalia’s presidency told The Standard on condition of anonymity that Mogadishu is bracing itself for more restrictions by Kenya against its officials and business people ahead of the ICJ’s verdict. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Isse Awad, however, told The Standard that Mogandishu was not ready to escalate the diplomatic tiff. “We’re not interested in a tit-for-tat. We’re interested in having a good relationship with Kenya,” he said. Awad laughed off reports that Kenya was aligning itself with Somalia’s regional administrations, particularly with the northern-western Somaliland region. “It is the Somali government that gave Kenya the permission to set up a consulate in Hargeisa,” he said, referring to the region’s capital. “Kenya has also allowed us to open a consulate in Mombasa if we want to,” he said. The ICJ’s final decision on the maritime boundary row between Kenya and Somalia is expected next year. Should Kenya lose the case, it will lose about 100 square kilometres of waters rich with natural resources. Source: The Standard

Eid Mubaarak Jun 4, 2019 Eid MubarakShawal 1,1440 It’s that time of the year when we celebrate Eid-al-fitr after the end of Ramadan—-a month of of fasting for the worshipers closer to Allah—our protector and sustainer—-with a day of joyous prayer, feast and celebration with family members and friends. As we reflect, what we have accomplished during the month of Ramadan—-fasting, long nights of sleep deprivation and prayers and giving away to charities and house of worships, but we should thank to Allah for giving us another chance to be those who follow to his commands and guidance, to be closer to him. Eid-Al-fitra is also a time for forgiveness. Please reach out to your relatives and friends, especially those who you are holding a grudge against and renew your relationship with them. How should we expect Allah to accept our repentance if you are still having hard feelings or grudges towards one another. May Allah, the merciful, forgive our sins and and accept our Ramadan. Because we’re only human beings, we’re not angels. Our deeds alone are not enough to get a pass to Paradise. May this Eid bring peace, happiness, satisfaction and prosperity to all of us, especially those who are living in our homeland. Lately, the Somaliland people are suffering because of economic hardship due to run away inflation, greedy merchants who are gauging prices even during the holiest days of Islamic calendar, and a government that lacks regulations to crack down on these unscrupulous merchants. Please accept my warmest greetings to you and your family on the occasion of Eid-Al-Fitr. May Allah accept our good deeds and hard work during the month of Ramadan. May Allah shower you and your families with his blessings. Ameen Thanks, Ali-Guban Lewis Center, Ohio Qaran News
