Since information is the core of life, life is all about information. But information is not only what evolves from the things we need to know, but also everything we do and our reactions to events that happen around us. When freedom of information and transparency are stifled, then bad decisions are often made and serious mistakes occur – usually on a scale that can leave societies wondering: How did this happen? Democracy is built on open societies that share information. “Where there is information, goes the saying, “there is enlightenment. Where there is debate, there are solutions. Where there is no sharing of information and power, there is no rule of law, there is no accountability, but there is corruption, there is denial and there is indignation.” Somaliland people need more access to what the government is doing in their name. This requires accountability and transparency on all briefings specifically relating to national issues that government officials make through press releases. Government official press releases must usually evolve from accurate undoctored information that is related to a specific subject and be presented within a context that gives it meaning and interpretive transparency that can lead to an increase in understanding and decrease in doubt. The main weakness of Somaliland democracy is that it gives power to gofers who can easily fall for the words of demagogues. One good example is those ministers who say something today and say something else tomorrow on the same topic, like the finance Minister, Saad Ali Shire who seconded everything the MP Mr Ibrahim Mahdi Buubaa said in the recent press release that related to Eighty-million-dollar debt that caused a shocking confusion. As we remember, transparency was a crucial commitment meant to shatter the glasses of corruption and an indispensable condition to stop Kulmiye’s misleading politics that the three candidates made in 2017 presidential election campaign. But the process necessary to fulfill that promise and achieve that essential goal still remains unattended intentionally. The only reason this promise is not fulfilled yet is that the head of the ruling party wants willingly the continuation of corruption. Trust comes from transparency. Trust and efforts achieve milestones. Achievements and accomplishments come from a radical reformation. Corrupt leaders never create comfortable zones. Why the current administration now shrugs off transparency? A government that shrugs off transparency intends to rob the nation. Great seamen know that a leak can sink a ship and wise politicians know that a single phrase can reverse trajectory and turn a thundering cannonball into an ominous boomerang. Dr Saad loftily informed the MPs responsible for following up Public Property Accounts during an investigating visit to the Finance Ministry that there is a debt of around eight million us. He could not have imagined that within days the taunt would return to haunt him. Since the chairman of Public Property Accounts Committee, Mr Ibrahim Mahdi Buubaa, flanked by Somaliland Finance Minister, Mr Saad Ali Shire, revealed in a press release that the current administration is stumbling on how to settle an disclosed debt of eighty million US dollars, it may be opportune, as the Minister of Finance started two days later to squabble towards debt, to raise two parallel questions: When Mr Saad Ali Shire is right and when he is wrong, when he is telling the truth and when he is lying, since he didn’t correct the MP at the time of releasing this heartbreaking information? Dr Saad’s debt denial has been like a list of commands meant to defend the indefensible, ailing hearts wheezing and gasping for life. Why he didn’t seek an advice from who hired him as a finance minister? The unsaid is so much more interesting than the said. The main purpose of education is to acquire knowledge that prepares us to face life and help build our characters. If the only purpose of knowledge acquisition is to earn money, then education is narrowed down to the knowledge required for only a low level of subsistence. Somaliland finance minister is a highly educated man, but with a PhD that made him richer, with a lot of money, but unfortunately poorer in thoughts. A PhD loses its reputation when those who hold drag it on the ground just for the sake of subsistence. Today the interesting question is:Where does the debt end up and stop? Summing up an interpretive unbiased analysis drawn from the conclusions of a series of facts and figures, the debt, whether wearing the face of the Cobra, Siilaanyo, or the face of the new action force that rules now the country, is a mix of Kulmiye’s joint operation to steal public wealth. Incurred or not incurred is not the point, the aim is to get opulent wealth out of public treasury through illegal procedure. The debt really stops at two desks: The presidential palace and the Ministry of Finance. If political famine is killing Somaliland progress, it is because of corruption. If government is fed up of accumulated debt, it is because unlimited expenses are allocated to the presidential palace, if budget deficit is out of control, it is because a number of senses are always inferior to the way budgeting is prepared by the government officials, if Somaliland public is confused over where this country is heading to, it is because the road map for the country’s future is not in the leadership’s agenda. It is not possible to live in a constant kind of confusion. It is not possible to tolerate to always align your principles with unrestrained corruption. It is not possible to accept what no other society could accept, tolerate and even try to ignore. Why few people are taking power of this land in their hands and do whatever they want to? Why the law of this country does not work? Here is a question that demands an accurate answer Why do we say “rule of law” rather than “law of rule” ? Because law comes before rule. Law defines the nature of rule, the difference between order and disorder, difference between chaos and order, difference between civility and savageness, difference between decency and indecency, difference between violence and non-violence. Who among us can argue that Somaliland lives in where there is a law and order? If law works in this country, why every Kulmiye administration makes plans to take a lot money illegally out of national treasury? For me, the central message of 2019 has two principal goals: a credible promise to lift Somaliland’s economy out of paralysis; and the assurance that national resources will be an inclusive force that reaches out to all segments of the nation. This is the hopeful evolution from bad governance to good governance. Bad governance is possible from negative factors, like the ego and arrogance that stem from unlimited greed and low thinking. Good governance is fashioned by honesty and integrity, coupled with a living conscience connected consciously to the natiinal pride. There are no national development projects in the budget for the year 2019. The budget allocated to the presidency and the Ministry of Finance is much more than the budgets allocated to FIFTEEN Ministries put together. Besides this there is three percent on the total budget for 2019 that is purposefully put aside for government debt without any details. The misery staring at Somaliland at this moment is that the wheel has slipped back into a quagmire of the year 2010, and indicates now that corruption is a non-negotiable liability. Somaliland is in a do-or-die situation. Which of these two ways Somaliland would prefer to go? A sermon on the Mount with its appeal to the meek who shall inherit the earth; Or resurrection, which promises hope in the mess of despair. The rainbow coalition’s agenda is not yet over, and its will is not exhausted. They have no answers beyond stealing public wealth on the one side and lying to Somaliland people on the other. While the first is shameful, the second is startling. By: Jama Falaag Hargeisa, Somaliland jamafalaag@gmail.com Qaran News

Waayadan dambe waxa boggaygan Facebook xambaarayey qoraallo kacdoon feker ceelalyo u ah.Waxa qoraalladaasi ka dhasheen xaaladda ka sii daraysa ee siyaaso-dhaqaale ee waddanka iyo aragtidayda qof ahaaneed ee arrintaas ku yuuban. Mar waa qaylo-dhaan lagu baraarujinayo nimanka mindada daabka haysta ee waddanka loo doortay in ay tub hagaagsan u hoggaamiyaan. Mar kalena waa ku wacyigelin bulshada guud in xaaladda ay dareemaan oo culuska madaxda la saarayo ay qayb ka noqdaan. Mar kale waa is baanasho qofeed oo lagu bogsiinayo damiir iyo dubaaq ka damqanaya xaaladdaas. Falcelin badan oo tabnaan iyo tognaanba leh ayaa qoraalladaas ka soo noqotay.Dadka qaar waxa ay qoraalladu ugu muuqdeen ruxruxasho aan maamulka kaga doonayo mansab (xil) ama maal (lacag).Qaar kalena waxa ay ku tilmaameen mashruuc meel kale laga soo abaabuley.Saddexdaas qolo halkan ugu jawaabi maayo oo horaan u idhi wixii aan odhan lahaa sir iyo caadba ama si dadban iyo si toos ahba. Waxa se qoraalkan igu igbaaraya dhallinyaro badan oo ka mid ah labeenta da’yarta Somaliland oo igu soo celceliyey su’aal isku mid ah, macquulna ah: Shalay Muuse ayaad nagu tidhi taageera, maantana waad ka hortimid, waayo?

Waxa xafladdu ahayd sannad-guuradii 35aad ee gadoodkii ardayda Hargeysa ee 1982 ee ka dhanka ahaa sama-dawdarnimadii taliskii Maxamed Siyaad Barre markii maxkamadda la saarayey dhallinyaradii UFFO. Sannadkaas 2017 oo dalka iyo dadkaba werwer badani ku oognaa, waxa dhallinyaradu ka horjeedeen sidii wax loo maamulayey, gaar ahaan bixintii saldhigga Berbera ee UAE la siiyey oo ilaa maanta aanu xaalkiisa banyaal ahayn. “Fadlan Na Qanci” ayaa lagu lahaa hoggaanka dalka oo la filayey inuu xafladda cid u soo diro ka dib markii lagu martiqaaday, ayna aqbaleen, haddana ka maquurteen oo aanay iman. Haddaba, iyada oo la ii xidhay habeenkaas markii aannu xafladda ka baxnay, la iguna eedeeyey abaabulkeeda iyo khiyaamo qaran, maanta kama muquuran karo su’aashaas dhallinyarada oo ay ka mid yihiin in badan oo maalintaas horena aannu faylka “Fadlan Na Qanci” ku wada jirney.

TAGISTA XAMAR DAMBI MAAHA HADII AANU QOFKU HAWLO SIYAASADEED U TAGIN IYO WAX YEELAYNTA QARANIMADA SOMALILAND !!! Mogadishu waa magaalo madaxda dalka aynu jaarka nahay, waana magaalo soomaaliyeed qofkasta oo ay dan ka gashaana wuu tagi karaa oo danihiisa wuu ka soo qabsan karaa ama wuu u joogi karaa, tagisteeda iyo joogisteeduna waxa ay la mid tahay uun tagista iyo joogista dadka reer Somaliland joogaan magaalooyinka iyo dalalka kale ee aduunka. Marka aynu ka hadlayno haddaba tagista Muqdisho ee qofka reer Somaliland waxa dareenka gaarka ah ay u leedahay waxa weeyi; Somaliland iyo Somalia oo inta ay isku darsadeen dawladnimadoodii 1960kii haddana dib ula soo kala noqday, waxaana ay wali wax qabyo ka yihiin in sifo sharciya loo kala baxo oo laba dal oo rasmiya oo labadaba caalamku aqoonsan yahay aynu kala noqono. Tagista Muqdishu ee qofka reer Somaliland wallow ay kala xasaasisan yihiin siyaasiyiinta iyo dadka caadiga ahi, oo ay shaki keenayso masuuliyiin xilal qaran oo wasiirnimo Somaliland ka soo qabtay tagistooda muqdisho oo markiiba ay maskaxdu soo tuurayso in ay hawlo siyaasadeed iyo mansabyo dawladeed u doonteen. Haddana Muqdisho iyo Somalia waxa kaliya ee ay Somaliland isku hayaan waa arimo siyaasadeed oo la xidhiidha qaranimada ama maamulka dawladnimo iyo kala madax banaan, waxa kale oo dhan iskuma hayno. Somalinimo iskuma hayno , diin iskuma hayno , dhaqan iskuma hayno , ganacsi iskuma haysano , qabiilna la iskuma hayo ee waa qaranimada ay labada dal isku darsadeen markii hore, haddana aynu la soo kala noqonay , waxii la xidhiidha qaranimada iyo waxii reer Somaliland siyaasiyan iyo sharciyan isku waafaqeen cidii baal marta ama jabisa ayaa dambi ku jirta. Waxa inagu badan haddaba in siyaasiyiin badan oo reer Somaliland ahi Somalia tagaan, oo xilal looga dhiibo dawlada Somalia, dadka reer Somaliland ayaa u yaqaana shaqsiyaad shaqo tagey laakiin aniga arinkoogu wuu igala culus yahay shaqo tag. Sababta oo ah siyaasadu maadaama aanay ahayn xirfad gaar loogu shaqeysan karo iyada oo aanad dawlad u shaqeynayn sida, macalin, dhakhtar, xisaabiye, oo ay tahay nidaam dawladeed ka shaqeyntiisa adiga oo raacaya mabaadii dastuur iyo shuruuc aad aaminsan tahay, ama aad u dhaaranayso in aad daacad u tahay.

African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) military commanders began a four-day meeting in Mogadishu on Monday to develop a comprehensive plan that will guide their exit strategy. AMISOM deputy head Simon Mulongo said the plan will identify activities and operations to be implemented under the new concept of operations (CONOPS) and also lay out a timeframe and logistical support needed to implement the activities. “We need to make do with the little resources we have and implement the new CONOPS to help AMISOM fulfill its mandate of securing Somalia,” Mulongo told the official opening of the conference in a statement. The new CONOPS, which is the framework for AMISOM’s exit strategy, will guide the AU mission’s military activities and operations for the 2018-2021 period. The meeting brings together sector commanders who lead military contingents from troop-contributing countries to AMISOM, representatives from the Somali National Army, the United Nations and other partners. Mulongo urged the commanders to come up with realistic operation plans that will ensure the key CONOPS requirements are successfully implemented. The meeting came as AMISOM is expected to draw down its troops by 1,000 by the Feb. 28, in line with a July 2018 UN Security Council resolution. According to the resolution, AMISOM will need to reduce the level of uniformed personnel to 20,626 by Feb. 28, 2019, without “any further delay.” Under the new CONOPS, several forward operating bases (FOBs) are likely to be reconfigured and others folded up, as troop numbers reduce, said the AU mission. However, AMISOM made an assurance that the changes will be undertaken with utmost consideration of the safety and security of populations living in the regions where the FOBs are situated. Tigabu Yilma Wondimhunegn, AMISOM force commander, said they will focus on conducting targeted offensive operations against al-Shabab to degrade its capability, deny them freedom of action and movement and secure friendly forces in order to implement the CONOPS effectively. The CONOPS marks the final phase of the AU mission’s transition and its eventual exit from Somalia. The post AU military chiefs meet on exit strategy in Somalia appeared first on Shabelle.

Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) has described the Pretoria high court’s decision to dismiss an application by eight Somali asylum seekers to review their rejected applications as shocking. The head of LHR’s strategic litigation programme, Wayne Ncube, said the organisation intended to appeal the decision. “We feel it does not reflect the facts in the papers or take into consideration judicial precedence from superior courts or the prevailing country information from Somalia,” he said. Ncube said he couldn’t comment further, but that LHR intended to reflect on their criticism of the decision in greater depth in the appeal. LHR acted on behalf of the eight asylum seekers, who fled Somalia and came to South Africa at various times from 2007, when the war in Somalia was at its zenith. Officials at the refugee reception offices (the first port of call for asylum seekers once they are granted entry to the country) declined all eight of their asylum applications. They appealed, but the understaffed and under-resourced Refugee Appeals Board (RAB) again denied them. In their appeal to the high court, the applicants highlighted a number of errors in making their case, including that the RAB had a “restrictive interpretation” of the term “persecution”. But Judge Dunstan Mlambo, the judge president of the Gauteng division of the high court of South Africa, dismissed the appeal suit. ‘Everyone under threat’ In his judgment, Mlambo said it was “immediately apparent” that the RAB had focused on when the asylum seekers were personally exposed to “conduct amounting to persecution”. “The RAB considered whether each of the asylum seekers was exposed to any personal threat or harm leaving them with no option but to flee Somalia … [The RAB] considered the situation insofar as it related to each applicant. In this regard, the RAB considered if the asylum seekers had other family members living with them when they decided to leave Somalia,” Mlambo said. “The basis for this approach is clear. If the civil war was the reason for the asylum seekers to flee Somalia, clearly the violent circumstances presented by that armed conflict cannot be selective, everyone living in the affected area would have been under threat.” On this basis, Mlambo agreed with the refugee reception offices and the RAB, and concluded that the eight asylum seekers’ lives were not threatened, nor would they be under threat should they return to Somalia. He said the criticism levelled against the RAB’s approach to the asylum seekers’ applications was misconceived and that there was no foundation for them to argue that the RAB had applied a “restrictive interpretation of the term ‘persecution’”. The eight applicants’ experiences of persecution in Somalia include threats, intimidation, close friends and family being killed during the civil war and being caught in the crossfire. Threats, kidnapping and torture One of the applicants worked for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, where he started receiving threats from members of militant group Al-Shabaab. He left his job soon after this. His brother-in-law, who also worked for an NGO, started receiving death threats from Al-Shabaab and, not long after, was assassinated by members of the group. Related article: Murder in Serbia raises critical questions in South Africa He returned to his NGO job and, soon after this, men he believed belonged to Al-Shabaab kidnapped and tortured him and a friend. He said that after two weeks in captivity, he managed to escape his captors and flee to a government-controlled area in Mogadishu. Here, soldiers arrested him and accused him of being a member of the very same organisation from which he had just escaped. They later released him from detention and, while saving up to flee Somalia, he continued to receive threatening phone calls from Al-Shabaab until he fled the country in January 2011 and arrived in South Africa in March that same year. Bombed and injured Another one of the applicants owned a stall in Bakaara Market, Mogadishu’s largest open-air market. In 2006, he was severely injured when a rocket landed in the market. The following year, another bomb exploded in the vicinity of his stall in the same market, killing a number of people. The man said that, in 2009, a group of Al-Shabaab members raided his home and killed a friend who had been living with him while away from home. When he got home, he found they had kidnapped one of his neighbours as well. Soon after this, he started receiving threatening calls, accusing him of working for the government. In his application, the man said that even though he didn’t work for the government, just being suspected or accused of doing so had put his life in danger. He fled from Somalia in October 2009 and arrived in South Africa in February the following year. Living in fear Another one of the applicants said he witnessed many battles in Mogadishu and was living in constant fear. Al-Shabaab members killed his brother and, in October 2008, he was caught in the crossfire during fighting and shot in the upper thigh. He was only released from hospital in June the next year and left Somalia in October 2009, arriving in South Africa on December 10. Despite these and similar stories about their experiences in Somalia, Mlambo agreed with the RAB’s decision to reject their applications. “The RAB found that it could not believe the applicants on their versions that they were personally at risk and that they were forced to flee Somalia. In fact, where the RAB made credibility findings, this is borne out by the facts before it,” he said. Mlambo concluded by saying that the applicants had “presented hopelessly inadequate cases and the RAB can therefore not be faulted for denying them refugee status”. Source: Mail and Guardian

An Ontario court has dismissed an appeal from a Toronto man convicted of trying to join a Somali-based terrorist organization, saying stiff penalties are necessary in such cases to deter similar would-be criminals. Former Toronto security guard Mohamed Hersi was convicted in 2014 of attempting to participate in the activities of a terrorist group and providing counsel to a person to participate in terrorist activity. Court heard he was en route to Somalia to join Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab when he was arrested, and a Superior Court judge sentenced him to consecutive five-year prison terms for the two charges he was convicted on. Hersi appealed both the conviction and the sentence, which lawyers said was the maximum possible and described as excessive. A panel of three judges at the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld both the conviction and sentence in a decision released Monday. “When people determined to wreak havoc in our community are caught and convicted, the courts must impose sentences that reflect the community’s moral outrage and the very real danger posed by those individuals to the community,” the decision reads. “That is what the trial judge did. The sentence imposed was fit.” In an e-mail Monday, Hersi’s lawyer called the decision disappointing and said he has not yet received instruction from him client for further appeals. “The Court of Appeal’s summary dismissal of the arguments was an affront to the rule of law,” said Paul Slansky. “Hersi received an unfair trial.” Police arrested Hersi in March, 2011, at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport as he waited to board a flight to Cairo via London. Court heard the purpose of the trip was to join al-Shabab, a group whose ideology he claimed to support according to the testimony of an undercover police officer. The investigation into Hersi was started after a dry cleaner found a computer memory stick among clothing containing a manual for making explosives, court heard. The undercover officer testified that he befriended Hersi at the Toronto office tower where the man was working as a security guard. Over the course of several months, court heard that Hersi expressed sympathy for al-Shabab’s “jihadist goals,” indicated he had plans to join the group, and encouraged his new friend to do the same. Hersi, who took the stand at his trial, argued the purpose of the trip was to study Arabic. At his trial, Hersi’s lawyers argued that he had been the victim of entrapment, a claim dismissed by the presiding judge. Slansky argued police had no reasonable grounds to investigate Hersi in the first place. Hersi’s appeal was based on 15 grounds relating to either the trial judge’s rulings or her instructions to the jury. The Court of Appeal sought submissions from the Crown on two of those issues, but ultimately ruled there were no substantial errors. The panel’s strongest words pertained to the appeal of the sentence. The court said many of its rulings have tried to “emphasize denunciation and deterrence when sentencing for terrorist crimes.” This case, the decision read, was no exception. “There is no doubt that the sentence imposed was severe. It had to be,” the decision reads. “Terrorists, like the appellant, pose an existential threat to the Canadian community and to the Canadian way of life. They are not criminals in the normal sense. They are worse.” Source: The Globe and Mail

The Kenyan Defence Force has continued attacking and destroying Hormud Telecom branches near Kenya-Somali border. Global Somali Diaspora (GSD) is joining others in condemning to the strongest possible terms against this deliberate targeting attack towards Hormud Telecom and its staff inside Somalia’s Soil. It is really a nerve-wracking development that Kenyan Defence Force are coming to the Somali soil in Gedo region to attack and destroy the Hormud Telecom property, killing and injuring its staff and cutting off the livelihood of many civilians in the region without fearing the consequences. Jawaahir Daahir (BEM), Chair of Somali Global Diaspora said: “Somali people are grateful to the Kenyan Government in joining the AMISON Army to help secure the safety and rebuilding of Somalia’s security force. However, it is clear that these attacks have been continuing for couple of years now and not only damaging the Hormud Telecom Communication Branches in Gedo Region but also killed and injured staff of the company which is absolutely an offensive act”. Attacking the property of Somali businesses and its staff inside Somalia is attacking the Somali’s sovereignty and one should not tolerate it. Some reports stated that Kenyan Defence Forces hanged two Hormud Telecom staff and burnt all the company’s property which is barbaric and cruel. Jawaahir Daahir (BEM) added: “We are welcoming the intervention of Somali Federal Government and dialogue between the two governments in relation to these incidents. We ask the Somali Federal Government to send a clear message to the Kenyan Government that they need to stop terrorising our businesses and people in the Gedo region”. Such practice harbours and feeds in the terrorist’s groups in the region that already exploiting the lack of strong Somali army in the region that can defend its territory and people’s property. Hormud Telecom is one of the largest employers in Somalia and it has been an instrumental model that offers a significant communication system to the Somali people living in the region and connecting them to the rest of the country and world. Jawaahir Daahir (BEM) added: “Hormud’s charity arm provides vital and needed humanitarian assistance to Somali people across the country including emergency services, support for disable people and hospitals, people affected by the terrorist attacks and humanitarian disasters. Therefore, attack on Hormud’s property and staff should be seen as attack on all of us.” We demand that Somali Federal Government put this into their highest priority and work harder with Kenyan Government to stop those attacks on our businesses and people inside the Somali territory.
