Anakara (Caasimada Online) – Madaxweynihii hore ee Somaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud ayaa sheegay in Soomaaliya inaysan marnaba ilaawi karin abaalka wanaagsan ee ay ka heshay dowladda Jabuuti oo ciidankeeda ay joogaan Somaliya. Jabuuti ayaa si wayn kaga carootay hadalkii Madaxweyne Farmaajo uu ka sheegay Magaalada Asmara, kaasi oo ahaa in xayiraada hubka laga qaado dowladda Eritrea. Warbixin uu soo dhigay Xasan Sheekh Boggiisa xiriika Bulshada ee Facebook, ayaa u dhiugneyd sidan:- Waa tallaabo dhanka fiican loo qaaday haddii dowladda Soomaaliya ay hagaajineyso cilaaqaadka aan la leennahay dowladaha iyo shucuubta gobolka. Hase yeeshe, shacabka iyo dowladda reer Jabuuti waxay naga mudan yihiin in aan dhowrno oo aan ugu hiillinno jiritaanka dalkooda iyo dowladnimadooda. Suurtagal nagama aha in ay nala sahlanaato dhammaanshaha dhulka reer Jabuuti iyo geesiyaasha wali dagaalka lagu la’yahay. Waxay naga mudan yihiin inaan ugu hiillinno sidii ay noogu hiilliyeen oo ay waligood noo garab taagnaayeen oo ay ugu dambeysay ragga iyo gabdhaha HIIL WALAAL ee naftooda Soomaaliya u huray. Dadnimada iyo damiirkuba waxay noo tilmaamayaan inaan laga abaal dhicin. Bani’aadamka hadiyad uu bixiyo waxaa ugu qaalisan NAFTA. Reer Jabuuti xoog iyo xoolo kaliya naguma garab istaagin ee naf iyo dhiig ayey noo hureen. Madaxdeennu ma isweydiyeen meeqa CARRUUR ah ayaa aabbayaashood ku waayay Soomaaliya. Sidoo kale meeqa MARWO AYAA SAYGII AY JECLAAYEEN ku waayay Soomaaliya ama meeq HOOYO ayaa wiilashii ay jeclaayeen ku waayay u hiillinta jiritaanka Soomaaliya. Haddaba, Madaxda dalkeenna waxaan ugu baaqayaa iney dib u eegis dhab ah ku sammeeyaan MOWQIFKA ay ka qaateen arrimaha u dhaxeeya Jabuuti iyo Ereteriya.

Kowdii August, 20 sano ka hor waa markii la saasey maamulkii u horeeyey ee federaal ah oo ay ku mideysan yihiin shan gobol iyo degmada Buuhoodle, warka laga reebo Bariga Mudug. Sanadkasta tan iyom 1999 waxaa Puntland laga xusaayey maalinta Puntland ee 01-da Agoosto marka laga reebo 2001-2002 oo Puntland xiisado colaadeed ka aloosnaayeen. 01-da Agoosto ayaa ah maalin dastuuri ah oo fasax ah, sida maalmaha kale ee ciidaha. 01-da Agoosto waxay u taagan tahay mid kamid ah calaamadaha ugu weyn ee maamulka Puntland, unkidda maamulkii u horeeyey ee federaal ah yo baadi goobkii dowlad Soomaaliyeed oo lawada leeyahay. Sida taariikhda lagu hayo 01-da Agoosto waa maalintii u horeysay ee la dhaariyey Baarlamaan Puntland yeelato isla markaana ay yeesheen fadhigoodu u horeeyey iyada oo horey ergooyinku u soo doorteen Madaxweyne Cabdullaahi Yusuf iyo ku-xigeenkiisi Maxamed Cabdi Xaashi. Maamulada soo marey Puntland ayaa si weyn ugu kala duwan xuska maalintan oo kale, waxaana xuskii ugu weynaa loo sameeyey sanadkii 1999 oo u ekaa mid milteri iyo sanadkii 2009. Marka laga hadlaayo 20 guuro waxaa lagu xusaa si ka weyn sidii hore maadaama ay tahay muddo ku filan jiritaan, qaar gaarnimo iyo horumar. Xusid la’aanta sanakdan ee 01-da Agoosto Guud ahaan maamulka Puntland ayaan laga dareemin 01-da Agoosto ee ku beegan 20 guuradii Puntland. Marka laga hadlaayo xuska waxaa ku bixi jirey dhaqaale badan kaas oo siyaabo kala duwan loo lunsan jirey, Puntland waxaa ka jira dhaqaale xumo aad u ba’an taas oo sababtey in Dowladdu bixin weydo 2018 oo dhan wax mushahar ah, waxaana dad badan ku doodaan in aan loo baahneyn xus lagu burburiyo dhaqaale si kale looga faa’ideysan karo, waxaa la is weydiinayaa sababta u diidey madaxweynaha in uu xitaa soo saaro baaq tahniyad iyo hambalyo ah haddii uu ka gaabsadey xusbkii uu maalmaha u diyaar garoobayey sababo maalmahan dhashey awgeed. Booqashada Kheyre Waxaa jira wraar ilaa maanta ka soo baxayey qaar kamid ah Golaha Wasiirada ee Xukumadda Cabdiweli Cali Gaas kuwaas oo sheegay in Raysalwasaare Kheyre dartiis loo baajiyey xafladdii 20 guurada ee Puntland ee raysalwasaaruhu u yimid in ay ka qayb-qaataan, maadaama uu ka baaqsadey in uu ka qaybqaato dhagax dhigga Dekadda la sheegay in laga dhisaayo Garacad oo lagu marti-qaadey. Haddaba waxaa is weydiin mudan 01-da Agoosto miyaaney ahayn maalin dastuuri ah maxaa isku xirey xuska 01-da Agoosto iyo Raysalwasaare Kheyre. 10 bilood ee la soo dhaafey ayey u ahayd xukumadda Cabdiweli Cali Gaas kuwii ugu xumeyd ee soo mara, bishii Dismeembar 2017 waxaa baaqdey bandhig uu Madaxweynuhu ku sheegi jirey isla xisaabtan oo qalin iyo waraaq la hor fariisan jirey isla xukuumadiisa kuwaas oo soo bandhigi jirey wixii u qabsoomay sanadkaas, bandhiggan ayaa u ahayd Madaxweynaha waxybaaha ugu waaweyn ee uu ku faani jirey, inkasta oo xukuumaddu ay ahayd cid ka madaxbanaan sida Baarlamaanku in ay la xisaabtamaan. Sideeda janaayo 2018 oo ahayd maalin kale oo aan dastuuri ahayn laakiin Madaxweynuhu xusi jirey maalintii loo doortey xafiiska ayaa sanadkan baaqatey kadib markii Somalilaan ay caasimadda Puntland kaabiga ku soo qabteen duulaana kula wareegeen Tukaraq. Bishii May 14 iyo 24 keedi waxaa Tukaraq ka dhacay dagaalo culus kuwaas oo sababey dhimasho iyo maxaabiis la kala qabsado, laakiin aan Puntland u horseedin guul ay Somaliland uga saarto gobolka Sool. Ugu danbeyntii baaqashada xuska 01-da Agoosto 2018 ee labaatansano guuradii Puntland ayaa noqoneysa markii u horeysey iyada oo wax xiisad ah ama siyaasad iska soo horjeeda aysan Puntland ka jirin, iyada oo weliba uu Garoowe ku sugan yahay Raysalwasaarihii Xukuumadda Jamhuuriyadda Federaaliga ah.

Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – Dowlada Jabuuti ayaa markii ugu horeysay godob siyaasadeed ka tirsatay dowlada Somalia ee uu hogaamiyo Madaxweynaha Somalia Maxamed Cabdullahi Farmaajo. Jabuuti waxa ay sheegtay in Somalia ay u muuqaneyso mid uga hiilineysa dowlada Eriterea hayeeshee la doonaayo inay ka laabato dalabka Madaxweyne Farmaajo ee ahaa in cunaqabateynta laga qaado Eriterea. Dowlada Jabuuti waxa ay kaalin weyn kaga jirta dowladaha gurmadka u fidiyay Somalia tan iyo wixii ka danbeeyay burburka Somalia. Jabuuti waxa ay ku andacooneysaa in wakhtibadan ay u hurtay Somalia si ay uga ambaqaadi laheyd halka ay dhowr sano ka hortiilay, hase yeeshee dowlada Somalia oo ay ku badan tahay dhaliilaha ayaan ka fiirsan ilaalinta shacuurta dowladaha kale ee saaxiibada la ah. Jabuuti waxa ay fileysay in Somalia ay ku doodi doonto in marka hore Eriterea ay dib u celiso dhulka ay ka heysato Jabuuti, balse ma noqon sida ay arrinku mooday, waxa ayna Farmaajo iyo Afwerki ahaayen kuwo kulamadii dhexmaray uga hadlay arrimahooda gaarka ah. Waxa ay dowlada Jabuuti siyaasad ahaan is khilaafsan yihiin dowlado dhowr ah oo dhaca Qaarada Africa sida Eriterea iyo Ethiopia oo dhawaan ay ka heshiiyeen khilaafka. Waxaa muuqaneysa in Jabuuti ay dhowr jeer ku celcelisay in Eriterea oo dal ciidan ah looga qaado dhulkeeda, hase yeeshee ma aysan dhicin in dalabkeeda dhag loo raariciyo. Haddaba Madaxweyne Farmaajo oo saaxiib dhow la ahaa Madaxweynaha dalka Jabuuti Ismaaciid Geele ayaa waxaa la gudboon 2 arrin midkood si aan loo didin Jabuuti kuwaa oo kala ah:- 1-In Madaxweyne Farmaajo uu raali galin degdeg ah ka bixiyo dalabka uu aduunka u jeediyay ee ahaa in cunaqabateynta laga qaado Eriterea. 2-In wadahadal iyo waan-waan degdeg ah uu ka dhex bilaabo Eriterea iyo Jabuuti, isagoo adeegsanaya dowladaha saaxiibada la ah labada dal sida Ethiopia, Ugandha, Kenya iyo Sudan. Madaxweynaha Somalia Maxamed C/llahi Farmaajo oo dhaliisha kaga imaaday dowlada Jabuuti ku noqotay mid lama filaan ah ayaan la garan doonin waxa uu ka yeeli doono carada kaga imaaday Jabuuti. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, inta badan dowlada Somalia ayaan xor u aheyn cabirka aragtida, iyadoo ay hubaal tahay in dhaliilo heer xun gaari kara ay kaga imaaneyso dowladaha kale maadaam Somalia tahay mid aan isku filneyn.

Mudane Maxamed Cabdullaahi Maxamed, Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka ee Soomaaliya, Marti sharaf, Mudanayaal iyo Marwooyin, Waxaan dareemayaa farxad aad u weyn markii aan soo dhaweynayo – anigoo ku hadlaya magaca dadka iyo xukuumadda Eritrea Xidhiidhada taariikhiga ah ee u dhexeeya dadweynaha Ereteriya iyo Soomaaliya waxay ku lug leeyihiin muwaadiniinta ka soo baxay Geeska Afrika qaybta koonfureed ee Jasiiradda Carabta iyo Waqooyiga Afrika ka hor intaanay soo galin gumeysiga Galbeedka ee gobolka. Intaa waxa dheer ka dib markii bilawgii gumeysiga reer galbeedka, wada-xaajoodka iyo addoonsiga saaxiibtinimada iyo midnimada labada dadkeena waxaa lagu xoojiyey marxalado kala duwan iyo qaabab iska caabin ah oo ku saleysan xukunka. Muddadii dagaalkii qaboobaa ee ku soo kordhay kadib markii la joojiyay, xidhiidhka adag ee u dhexeeya labadayaduba waxay gaadheen heerkiisii ​​ugu dambeeyay si ay u noqdaan xidhiidhka ugu dhow ee Geeska Afrika, Waxaanu ku faannaa taariikhdan Ixtiraamka dadka Eretria ee dadka walaalaha ah ee Soomaliya xaqiiqdii waxay ku qanacsan yihiin qaddarintan taariikhiga ah. Mudane Madaxweyne, Waxaan wax badan ka bartay caqabadaha horey u soo maray tobankii sano ee la soo dhaafay ka dib dhammaadkii dagaalkii qaboobaa, maaddaama aanu dhammaanteen bilaabannay – sida Soomaaliya, Itoobiya, Ereteriya iyo Suudaan – iyaga oo si xamaasad leh ugu socda dhismaha qaranka iyo markii waxay u aragtay in ay jirto jawi ku habboon isdhexgalka istaraatiijiyadeed ee gobolka. Dhismaha wadajirka ah waxaa lagu xakumay qowmiyadda iyo qabiilka, iyo burburinta; … horumarinta dhaqaalaha iyo barwaaqada waxaa lagu beddelay iskudhafnimada saboolnimada iyo gaajada oo ay weheliyaan xayiraad dibadeed iyo tuugo gudaha ah midnimada iyo madaxbanaanida dowladaha madaxa banaan ee ay kufilan yihiin micnaha isdaba marinta ee dhex mara hay’adaha Qaramada Midoobey iyo NGO-yada. iskaashiga gobolka iyo isafgaradku uu ku fidiyo dhibaatooyinka xuduudaha iyo dagaalka nabadda iyo xasiloonida gobolka ee ku salaysan kheyraadka gudaha iyo awoodaha oo ay hoos u dhigtay dhibaatooyinka ba’an ee hoosta ku xusan “nabad ilaalinta” iwm. Liiska ayaa dheer Marka la eego xaqiiqooyinka dhabta ah, dhexdhexaadinta iyo ballaadhinta gobollada ee magaca diinta, Dhaqanka dhaqameedka, ee fikradaha xagjirnimada kala duwan, argagixisanimada, burcad-badeednimada, tahriibinta dadka, iyo sidoo kale ganacsiga hubka iyo daroogada ayaa noqday New Normal ama “ganacsi sida caadiga ah”. Dadka reer Eritrea waxay muujiyeen adkeysi aan caadi aheyn oo ay kaga hortagaan in ay carqaladeeyaan dhamaan noocyada kala-dambaynta ah ee lagu soo diray. Way ka adkaadeen xitaa xadgudubyada iyo cadaadiska ay u geysteen iyaga oo aan loo ogolayn. Dadka Itoobiyaanka ahi waxay ku guuleysteen siyaasadda qowmiyadaha iyo shuruucda shisheeye. Waxay horay u socdaan si deg deg ah oo loogu talagalay iskudhafinta iyo xoojinta nidaam siyaasadeed oo heer qaran iyo mid siyaasadeed oo sax ah. Shaki kuma jiro in dadka Soomalidu ay sida ugu dhakhsaha badan ula safrayaan dadka Itoobiya iyo Eritrea. Mudane Madaxweyne, Aniga waxaan mar kale ku celin doonaa xukunkayga ku saabsan waxtarka go’aanka ah ee dadka Soomaaliyeed ee ku jira mashaariicda waawayn ee aan si wadajir ah u shaqaynayno. Markaan tixraacayo, waxaan idiin rajeynayaa guusha ugu wanaagsan ee aad ku jirto dadaalkaaga aadka u culus si aad uga gudubto caqabadaha hortaagan iyo kor u qaadista iskaashiga labada dhinac iyo gobolka ee dhinacyada dhaqaalaha iyo ammaanka Waan ku mahadsanahay.

Hargeysa (Caasimada Online) – Guddoomiyihii ugu horeeyey ee Komishanka Doorashooyinka Somaliland Cabdilaahi Cabdi Xaaji Cumar (Cabdilaahi Jawaan), ayaa ka hadlay tabashada saami qaybsida ee Beelaha darafyada, ee Doorashada Golaha Wakiilada, iyo Kootada loo qoondeeyey Haweenka iyo Beelaha laga tirada badan yahay, waxaanu xusay in aanay suurtagal ahayn in saami qaybsi wakhtigan la sameeyo, Kootana loo qoondeeyo Haweenka iyo Beelaha laga tirada badan yahay. Mudane Cabdilaahi Cabdi Xaaji Cumar (Cabdilaahi Jawaan), oo u waramay Wargeyska Geeska Afrika ayaa sidoo kale ka hadlay Shirka Ceel-afweyn iyo qodobo kale, waxaanu ugu horeyn uu yidhi “Qof waliba si buu wax u arkaa, maalin dhawayd waxaan daawanayey Prof:Axmed Ismaaciil Samatar Iyo nin kale oo ka hadlaayey Boorama, oo lahaa si cadaalada waxba looma qaybsan, had iyo goor waxa carabka lala dhacaa Beesha Dhexe, wax dheeraad ah oo ay sidato Beesha Dhexe oo Golaha Wakiilada ahi ma jirto, Golaha Wakiiladu wuxuu ku saleeysan yahay 33 kursi ee 1960 ee ahaa 2.5, sidaas ayuu Kursi waliba maanta u joogaa, wey jiraan in meelaha qaarkood aanay helin kuraastii ay xaqa u lahaayeen gaar ahaa Gobolka Sool, oo kuraastii ay heli lahaayeen ee Golaha Wakiilada waxbaa ka maqan, taas Somaliland may sameeyan, laakiin dadka deegaankaas ayaa sameeyey oo Doorashadii diiday, oo heshiiskii iyo nidaamkii Doorashada, iyaga ayaa diiday, oo yidhi geli mayno, waxyar baa ka galay.” Mudane Cabdillaahi Jawaan, oo ka hadlaya sababaha keenay in gobalka Sool uu waayo saamigii uu ku yeelan lahaa golaha wakiillada oo sax ah, ayaa yidhi, “Komishankii ugu horeeyey ee Doorashada, oo aan ka mid ahaa aniga, ayaaba gacanta ku haynay, markaas waxaanu isla garanay waxan la yidhaahdo is xanbaarka, oo Rag aan la soo dooran oo liis lagu soo qoray, inay mataalan, dadkii aanay deegaanadooda Doorashadu ka dhicin, Sool iyo Sanaag Barri, oo Sanaag Barri, Doorashadu wey ka dhacday. Laakiin in Sool, waxaa la isla garay in dad Wakiil ka ah dadka Deegaankaas golaha lagu soo daro. Markaas Gobolkan Sool waxa ka maqan dad badan oo miisaankooda leh, marka loo eego 1960, arintana Beesha Dhexe kumay sameyn, cid kalena kumay samayn, ee is afgaran waagii iyo diidmada aanay berigaas doorashada aanay caadi u galin ayaa keentay. Imikana haddii ay doorashadii caadi u galaan, waxaan filayaa inay helayaan waxay doonayaan.” Waxa kale oo uu siyaasi Cabdillaahi Jawaan ka hadlay, in doorashada Somaliland aanay ku salaysnayn qaabka ah saamiqaybsi dhinaca qabiilka ah, balse ay ku salaysantahay goballo, isaga oo arrintaas sharraxayana waxa uu yidhi, “Asal ahaan doorashadu waxa ay ku saleeysantahay qabiil ma’aha, waa goballo. Waxa ay doorashadu ku saleeysan tahay lixdii degmo ee uu Ingiriisk u tagay. Lixdaas degmo ayaa lix Gobol loo bedelay, sidaas ayaa Doorashada lagu qabtay” ayaa uu yidhi, isaga oo ka hadlaya, taladiisa ku aaddan xaaladda saamiqaybsiga ee hadda jirta iyo doorashada gelitaankeedana waxa uu intaas ku sii daray, “Aniguna waxaan ku talin lahaa in inta la helayo tirikoob sax ah in Doorashada sidii hore lagu galo”. Cabdilaahi Jawaan mar uu ka hadlaayey Gobolka Maroodi-jeex ayaa yidhi “Gobolka Maroodijeex qof walba uu iska sharixi karaa, laakiin waa Gobolka dulmiga ugu badan saaran yahay, sababtoo ah ninka lix kun oo cod keenay ayaa cod waayey, tusaale Wali Axmed Xaawa, oo Khadar Amasadoor bedelay, codkiisu wuxuu ahaa lix kun oo wax yar dhiman, haddana uu waayey kursigii, wuxuu ahaa sugaha kowaad ee Xisbiga UCID. Khadar Amasadoor markii uu is casilay, ayuu Barlamaanka soo galay Wali Axmed Xaawa. Markaas cida ugu dulman, ee kuraas badani ka maqan yihiin haddii dadka loo qaybiyo, waa Caasimadda iyo Gobolka Maroodijeex, haddana qaylada waa lagaga badan yahay. Markaas meelna yaanay qaylinine, ee aynu iimaansano oo salka aynu arintan u dhigno. Nin cid bariis siinayaa cid kale ma jirto, ee ninka Barlamaanka galaa, ee reer, qoys iyo qabiilna, midna wax siin maayo, Sharciyada ay dajinayaana waa Sharciyo dalka oo dhan khuseeya. Waana Sharci qaranka oo dhan ka dhexeeya, ee Sharci u gaar ah Boorama, Saylaca, Burco, Laascanood, Berbera, Ceerigaabo iyo Hargeysa ma sameeynayaan”. Mar uu ka hadlaayey sida la iskugu af gartay in Doorashada Wakiilada lagu galo sidii hore ayaa yidhi “33 kursi ee 1960 kii; Hargeysi todoba ay lahaan jirtay, Burco waxay lahaan jirtay lix kursi, afarta kalena wey sinaayeen oo mid waliba shan bay lahayd, muran kamuu jiri jirin, waxaana sidan lagu galay Doorashada 1960, axa lagu galay Doorashadii 1964, waxa lagu galay Doorashadii 1969. Burco markii la joogayna (Shirkii Burco ee 1991 kii), Cali Khaliif Galaydh ayaa soo jeediyey in sidaas waxa lagu qaybsado, Somaliland baa la aasaasay, waana la isla qaatay, in inta tirikoob la sameeynayo in sidaas hore lagu galana Cali Khaliif Galaydh ayaa soo jeediyey. ALLE ha u naxariiste Cali Faarax Dacar (Gargaar) waa uu ku raacay, si cad iyo sacab ayuu Golihii ku qaatay, sidaas ayuuna ku saleeysan yahay Barlamaanka fadhiya”. Mar uu ka hadlaayey Kootada loo qoondeeyey Haweenka iyo Beelaha la hayb sooco ayaa yidhi “Waa tii maalin dhawayd Xukuumaddu gudbisay in wax loo qoondeeyo Haweenka iyo Beelaha laga tirada badan yahay, Caalamkana cid meel wax loo dhigo, ama cidaas waa laga badan yahay ee kursigaas ha loo dhgo ma jirto. Laakiin dadka codka laga helay, waa inay xuquuqdoo helaan oo aanay waayin, dadka ka helayna, waa inay si siman ugu shaqeeyaan dadka. Laakiin Haweenku waa tirada ugu badan dadka, tusaale ahaan Mareykanku naxariis iskumu galin oo Hillary Clinton waxay la tartamaysay Trump, ee lama odhan Hillary Clinton, waa haweenay ee ha loo naariisto. Barlamaankana la iskuma naxariisto, meel walbana inanka iyo inantu wey tartamayaan, anagu markii aanu Komishanka ahayn, nin aqoonyahan ah oo imika Safiir Hindiya uga ah dalkiisa, oo naloo soo kireeyey, ayaanu nagu Dastuurka iyo Xeerka Doorashooyinka nagala soo tali, I siiya ayuu yidhi, markii aanu siinay, wuxuu yidhi haddii aydaan bedelin Dasuurkiina Xeerka Doorashada, oo aad isku daydaan inaad badashan, waxaad meel kaga dhacaysaan xuquuqda muwaadiniintiina, wuxuuna tilmaamay in Doorashada rag iyo haweenba loo siman yahay.

Waxaa cad ineey soo xoogeysano ku milmidda siyaasadeed ee duub dhaqameedyada sidii dagaaladii sokeeye ay uga bilaabmeen Soomaaliya.

Berisimaadkii ayaa waxaa dhacday in Cali Maxamed Hiraabe (Cali Hagareey) iyo AUN Maxamuud Axmed Maxamed (Kutubo Xoor) oo ahaa labo xildhibaan ee Dowladii Rayidka kana tirsanaa xisbiga leegada “SYL” ay isku qabsadeen kii noqon lahaa musharaxa koowaad ee doorashadii 1968 dalka ka dheceysay.

Booqashadii Khayre ee Puntland Booqashadii Ra’iisul wasaaraha Soomaaliya Xasan Cali Khayre iyo wafdigii uu hogaaminayay ku yimaadeen Puntland ayaa waxaa ka dhashay khilaaf siyaasadeed oo soo kala dhexgalay Puntland iyo dowladda Federaalka. Khilaafka soo kala dhexgalay dowladda Federaalka iyo Puntland ayaa ka dhashay markii Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre ka cudur daartay ka qeyb galka Dekad laga dhagax dhigayay deegaanka Garacad ee Gobolka Mudug. Sababaha Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre uga cudur daartay dhagax dhiga Dekada Garacad ayaa ilo wareedyo madax bannaan sheegeen in ay la xiriirto cadaadis ka dhashay cabasho ka timid Galmudug iyo xildhibaano Federaalka ah, kuwaas oo sheegay in Garacad kamid tahay deegaano ay ku muransan yihiin Galmudug iyo Puntland iyo in Dekad kale oo Mudug laga dhagax dhigaa ay caqabad ku noqonayso tan Hobyo oo uu horay u dhagax dhigay Madaxweyne Farmaajo. Khilaafkaas kadib Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre iyo wafdi uu hogaaminayo ayaa shalay booqday magaalada Qardho oo ay kula kulmeen Issimo uu kamid yahay Boqor Burhaan, halka Madaxweyne Gaas iyo wafdi uu hogaaminayo ay shalay Garacad ka dhagax dhigeen Dekad, waxayna xalay labada wafdiba dib ugu soo laabteen Garowe mana jirin kulamo iyo is arag dambe oo dhexmaray madaxda Federaalka iyo Puntland. Dhanka kale khilaafkaas ayaa wararka qaar sheegayaan in uu baajiyay shirkii Golaha wasiirada dowladda Federaalka oo Khamiista berri ah ka dhici lahaa magaalada Garowe, iyadoo waliba ay maanta Garowe yimaadeen qaar kamid ah Golaha wasiirada Federaalka, sidoo kale waxaa caawa la baajiyay xaflad lagu xusilahaa 1-da Agoosto oo ku beegan 20 sano guuradii ka soo wareegtay asaaskii Puntland, taas oo qorshuhu ahaa in uu ka qeyb galo Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre iyo wafdigiisu. Sidoo kale warar aan helayno ayaa sheegaya in berri haddii uu qabsoomi waayo shirkii wasiirada Federaalka wafdigii Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre iyo kuwii maanta yimiba ay ku laaban doonaan magaalada Muqdisho. Booqashadii Ra’iisul wasaare Khayre ee Puntland ayaa la sheegay in ay markii hore daarnayd saddex arrimood oo kala ah dhagax dhiga Dekada Garacad, ka qeyb galka sanad guurada 20-aad ee asaaskii Puntland iyo Garowe oo lagu qabto shirkii khamiislaha Golaha wasiirada Federaalka, balse majiro mid ilaa hadda suuragalay. Labada dhinac Federaalka iyo Puntland ayaa ilaa hadda ka hadlin khifaafka siyaasadeed ee soo kala dhexgalay.

Djibouti has formally responded to a recent call by Somalia that United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanctions on Eritrea be lifted. According to Djibouti it was ‘deeply shocked’ by that position. Somali president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed on a three-day official visit to Asmara said the sanctions imposed since 2009 had to be lifted given the current political and diplomatic developments in the Horn of Africa region. But in a statement in reaction to the Somali president’s view, the Djiboutian Embassy in Somalia wrote in an August 1, 2018 statement: “As a sovereign state, there is no doubt that Somalia has the right to establish diplomatic relations with the countries of the region, however, it is unacceptable to see our brotherly Somalia supporting Eritrea which is occupying part of our territory and still denying having Djiboutian prisonsers.” It continued that the wiser line of action would have been for President Mohamed to call for peaceful resolution of the border crisis that has strained relations between the two neighbours. The statement accused Somalia of historic less support of Djibouti which it said had led to blinded supported for Eritrea plus an advocacy that Eritrea be free despite its stubborn nature. “We will not tolerate with ruthless talks while our young men and women are yet here defending Somalia’s peace and stability,” the statement concluded. An arms embargo imposed on Eritrea since 2009 was chiefly to do with its alleged support for Somali insurgent group Al-Shabaab but also because of its agression against Djibouti and refusal to enter any form of mediation over the disputed regions. The disputed land in question is the Dumeira mountain and Dumeira island which Djibouti claims is being illegally occupied by Eritrea. The issue of Eritrea’s continued holding of Djiboutian prisoners has also been central to the dispute. The last time tensions between the two came to the fore was in June 2017 when Qatar withdrew its peacekeeping force in the area at the height of the Gulf Crisis. Djibouti at the time accused Asmara of deploying soldiers to the disputed areas. Eritrea has been in the news recently over the peace deal it entered into with neighbouring Ethiopia after two decades of severed ties and hostility over a border ruling. Addis Ababa through PM Abiy accepted to respect the 2002 border ruling and by that agreed to restore all ties with Eritrea. Abiy signed a five-point end of war agreement with Eritrean leader Isaias Afwerki during a historic visit to Asmara. Afwerki reciprocated the gesture with a three-day visit to Addis Ababa.

Djibouti lies more than 2,500 miles from Sri Lanka but the East African country faces a predicament similar to what its peer across the sea confronted last year: It has borrowed more money from China than it can pay back. In both countries, the money went to infrastructure projects under the aegis of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Sri Lanka racked up more than $8 billion worth of debt to Chinese sovereign-backed banks at interest rates as high as 7 percent, reaching a level too high to service. With nearly all its revenue going toward debt repayment, last year Sri Lanka resorted to signing over a 70 percent stake and a 99-year lease to the new Chinese-built port at Hambantota. Djibouti is projected to take on public debt worth around 88 percent of the country’s overall $1.72 billion GDP, with China owning the lion’s share of it, according to a report published in March by the Center for Global Development. It, too, may face the possibility of handing over some key assets to China. As Chinese President Xi Jinping continues to push lending to developing countries, policy analysts are sounding alarm bells about the fate of smaller nations biting off more than they can chew—and the strategic possibilities opening to China as a result. Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative, which aims to revive and expand the ancient Silk Road trade routes on land and at sea, has become the crown jewel of his foreign policy since 2013, shortly after coming to power. Government officials regularly talk up the initiative and state media outlets give it broad coverage. But many of the projects have stalled in the early stages of planning, and the dollar amount attached is left vague. More importantly, the countries involved are often seduced by the appeal of large infrastructure projects that are financially destabilizing. Eight of the 68 countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative currently face unsustainable debt levels, including Pakistan and the Maldives, according the Center for Global Development’s report. Its vulnerability notwithstanding, Djibouti has been keen to work with Beijing. It partnered with China Merchants Ports Holdings Company, or CMPort—the same state-owned corporation that gained control of the Hambantota port in Sri Lanka—to build the Doraleh Multipurpose Port. That project was completed in May 2017. Earlier this month, Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Guelleh described the new Djibouti International Free Trade Zone, a $3.5-billion venture with China, as a “hope for thousands of young jobseekers.” But the most noteworthy development in Djibouti—and the most worrying for the United States—is China’s first overseas military base, which is located 6 miles from the U.S. military’s only permanent base in Africa. From Camp Lemonnier, where about 4,000 U.S. troops are stationed, the United States coordinates operations in “areas of active hostilities” in Somalia and Yemen. In the past year, U.S. diplomats and generals have grown increasingly concerned that the base will provide China a foothold at the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic chokepoint in international maritime trade. About 4 percent of the global oil supply passes through this waterway connecting the Gulf of Aden with the Red Sea each year. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, who commands the U.S. Africa Command, said in a testimony before the House Armed Services Committee in March that the United States was “carefully monitoring Chinese encroachment and emergent military presence” in Djibouti. Local relations between the two great-power rivals have become especially strained in 2018, with each lodging grievances against the other. China, for its part, maintains that the naval facility will serve as a logistics hub for its anti-piracy, humanitarian, and emergency evacuation missions. The live-ammunition drills conducted at the base should be interpreted as “legitimate and reasonable” exercises for counterterrorism operations, a commentator told the state-owned Global Times. But satellite images of the People’s Liberation Army base may reveal its true purpose. A retired Indian Army intelligence officer noted last September that the 200-acre facility includes at least 10 barracks, an ammunition depot, and a heliport. Four layers of protective fences surround the perimeter; the two inner fences are eight to 10 meters tall and studded with guard posts. The purported logistical support base is rather a fortress that may accommodate thousands of soldiers. More than 2,500 Chinese peacekeeping personnel are already stationed in countries such as South Sudan, Liberia, and Mali. “There is nowhere else in the world where the U.S. military is essentially co-located in close proximity to a country it considers a strategic competitor,” said Kate Almquist Knopf, the director of the Defense Department’s Africa Center for Strategic Studies. “This is not something the Pentagon is used to,” she said. One concern is that the Djibouti government, facing mounting debt and increasing dependence on extracting rents, would be pressured to hand over control of Camp Lemonnier to China. In a letter to National Security Advisor John Bolton in May, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), two members of the Senate Armed Service Committee, wrote that President Guelleh seems willing to “sell his country to the highest bidder,” undermining U.S. military interests. “Djibouti’s now identified as one of those countries that are at high risk of debt distress. So, that should be sending off all sorts of alarm bells for Djiboutians as well as for the countries that really rely on Djibouti, such as the United States,” said Joshua Meservey, a senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “Policymakers are becoming more and more aware of this. The challenge is that there isn’t a strong sense of how to effectively push back or compete with China on some of these issues.” Meservey says there are simple steps the United States could take to start balancing out China’s expanding influence, including institutionalizing the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit—a one-off event in 2014 hosted by President Barack Obama. The U.S. government should also incentivize private sector investment in Africa, he said, thus creating competition with Chinese state-backed dollars on the continent. Other analysts believe China’s debt-driven expansion could backfire on Beijing. Jonathan Hillman, a fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said one “underappreciated dimension” of China’s predatory lending projects in Africa was the uncertainty that Beijing takes on by doling out trillions of dollars abroad. “If these projects do not go well, there is a financial and reputational risk to China,” Hillman said. “The port in Sri Lanka gets a lot of attention, but not too far from the port is an airport that now no plane flies into. That’s not a good advertisement for Chinese soft power or China’s strength or reliability as a partner.” Source: – Foreign Policy
