In the 30-plus years I’ve been in the publishing business, I’ve seen my share of “new countries.” Some are scams, such as the Dominion of Melchizedek, which I exposed as a fraud nearly two decades ago. But most new countries are never fully realized simply because their promoters suffer from the delusion that their claims of sovereignty will magically be recognized, without anyone putting together a clear plan for getting there. There are two almost insurmountable obstacles: Getting anyone to take you seriously (diplomatic recognition, etc.) Defending your territory from incursions by more powerful neighbors A great example of a claim that hasn’t been taken seriously is the Principality of Sealand, a “country” founded on an abandoned World War II gun platform in the North Sea off the English coast. In 1967, Roy and Joan Bates took up residence there. “Prince Roy” proclaimed a Sealand constitution and introduced a national flag and national anthem and began selling passports. Now that Prince Roy and Princess Joan have died, their son, Prince Michael, is Sealand’s caretaker. Sealand passports are not formally recognized, and in 1997, 150,000 were revoked. But you can still buy one for only €244.99 and even become a Lord, Lady, Baron, Baroness, Count, or Countess of Sealand. Just don’t try using your Sealand passport to cross an actual international border. Still, viable efforts to establish new countries that could actually be taken seriously are everywhere. Separatist groups in Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Spain want to create their own independent states, to name just a few movements across Europe. The most advanced efforts are in Catalonia, which in October voted overwhelmingly to separate from Spain. But its efforts to b>ecome independent were put down by force by the Spanish government. But perhaps the most successful new country is one that you may have never heard about. It’s called Somaliland, and it’s carved out of the territory of the war-torn nation of Somalia. You’ve no doubt read quite a lot about Somalia, which claims sovereignty over Somaliland, in recent years. The government that the international community recognizes is riddled with corruption and effectively controls only a small portion of its official territory. When Islamist militants seized Somalia’s capital Mogadishu in 2006, a coalition of African countries intervened to restore the so-called “legitimate” government. Unfortunately for citizens of Somalia, the government hasn’t been able to restore the rule of law. Just a few weeks ago, Mogadishu experienced the worst terror attack in Somalia’s history. More than 300 people were killed. To put it mildly, it’s not a place you’d want to invest in or visit. Yet, this is the Somalia the world recognizes as a sovereign state. However, the northern region of the country – Somaliland – is very different. Crime is low, terrorism is almost non-existent, and the standard of living is higher. A series of peaceful elections has reinforced democratic rule for more than 25 years. While nearly all the residents of Somaliland are Muslim, disputes are settled under a traditional tribal system called Xeer. Like the common law that America inherited from England, Xeer is based on legal precedent and local customs. While the world continues to acknowledge the corrupt government of Somalia, Somaliland has quietly prospered, despite lack of international recognition. It has its own currency and issues its own passports, which enjoy (limited) recognition. That’s not all Somaliland has going for it. It claims a territory of 68,000 square miles and has a population that exceeds 3.5 million people. And crucially, it has the ability to defend its territory, with more than 35,000 soldiers. Somaliland’s economy recently got a huge boost when one of the world’s largest seaport management companies, DP World, agreed to develop a new port there. Part of the agreement provides for DP World to create a free trade zone in Berbera on the Gulf of Aden. It will be modeled on Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone, currently the largest free trade zone in the Middle East. The fact that a major company like DP World is willing to make a big bet on Somaliland represents a pivotal vote of confidence for the country. It just might be the ingredient needed to compel the international community to recognize Somaliland as a sovereign nation. That’s especially true as conditions in “official” Somalia continue to deteriorate. Certainly, Somaliland will continue to face challenges in the months and years ahead. But the fact that its government is looking to the example of Dubai, one of the world’s most prosperous regions, is a bellwether for the future. And it just might be a model for other new countries to follow. Not to mention a terrific investment opportunity for those brave enough to get in on the ground floor.

Events of potential strife inflicting impacts on the public always happen in everywhere. An old woman complaining against the price of bread may stire up street anger that might cause public uprise, which might in turn cause human casualty. The arrests of some prominent opposing politicians could prompt massive demonstrations and cause huge damage to public properties. The cost of human lost sometimes causes the downfall of democratically elected governments. For democratic governments are accountable to the people. The fact is, reacting after social, economic anf political events — the manner in which they are handled and remedied — is what measures the scale of government conviction for the care of human life. As history is our guide, we encounter with occurrences that are even worse than conlicts and clashes between opposing forces and experience overt all-out wars between tribes, nations and countries. Somaliland is no exception. Every country, rich or poor, has problems. For the most part, some governments are able to quickly solve problems without much trouble. Such governments either come up with a quick solution or use a strategy that worked well in the past. Problems become more difficult when there is no obvious solution and strategies that were tried in the past but didn’t and don’t work. These types of problems cause a great deal of stress and anxiety and require new and different strategies. The execptionality lies in how responsibly, wisely and willingly governments solve and deal with their problems. There is no shame if there are many problems in Somaliland that cause a great deal of stress and anxiety. The shame is when we neither have quick solution nor strategy that worked in the past. What sickens most of us is the way in which Somaliland government always reacts and responds to problems which inflict unafforfable economic burdens on Somaliland citizens. The regular imports of contaminated energy by Somaliland petroluem companies which usually cause serious mechnical damage to a cinsiderable number of public and private vehicles is the case in point. To import commodity that causes human health hazards and huge damage to most of our transportation means poses the questions ” Why do we need government? And what purpose does it serve in the public?” The most basic purpose of government is protection. Protection is defined as the “state of being free from danger or threat”, which basically means the care of human life. To explain the care of human life in detail, government is to protect:– 1. An individual from another individual. 2. An individual from a group. 3. A group from another group. (Protect people from one another) In addition to above, government must also:– a) Establish Justice b) Ensure domestic tranquility c) Provide for the common defense d) Promote the general Welfare e) Protect public properties Since above conditions are the basic social contract between the governments and the people, why Somaliland current administration fails to do anything about the problems causing pains in a responsible way? Where does the resource of our government negligence come from? Does it come from the lack of ability? Or is it that arrogance and inconsideration come from the leadership’s side? There are problems that can only be remedied by material resources and mentality, that we know. But what about the problems that require just actions and implementation through rules and regulations? Doesn’t this mean that our government acts contrary to the general welfare of the people? Or are there individuals within the government that dominate the entire country for their own ends? Are we not fully aware that there are ills in public services that could be improved when rules and regulations are enforced and observed in letter and spirit? Everyone knows, as the old gag puts it, that half of the time in goverment is wasted, but no one knows which half. The best thermometer to good government is its treatment of its people. The welfare of the people is the most telling measure of our nation’s success – and their potential is the most promising element of its future. It is up to us – all of us – to safeguard that future. Great leaders always come up with solutions to problems everybody can understand. The point is where to find that leader at this time and age. Government is a system, an institution connecting different ideas in a fantastic aspect of creativity, that is a form of recognizing the reality that connectivity of heart and mind, if applied, is wonderful solution to the problems of human life,. The fragmentation of government awareness mostly triggers dizzying vertigo in the chaos of the peoples’ living standard. The thing is, government can reform peoples’ life and protect the rights of both the poor and the rich. The scale of the damaged vehicles caused by the contaminated fuel is so huge, but the government did not take the proper action against those companies that imported this filthy fuel. The proper action which our government has not as of yet come up with is to enforce hard and fast rules and impose heavy fines on the petroleum companies and hold them responsible for the damages and compel them to compensate all those citizens whose vehicles were damaged. Impressing the rich and ignoring the poor is not a good government’s function and vision. A good governnment is that which protects the rights of all citizens; government that distances itself from favoring certain group against another. When there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned. Good government is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruits in its season, and its leaves do not wither. The question is ” What one can expect from a government headed by a president who is elected by ignorant people that tribalism teared them into clans.”

Mr. Abdirashid Duale, the CEO of Dahabshiil Group of Companies was, on Thursday, among the dignitaries attending the handover ceremony during which top management of the Somaliland Central Bank changed hands. Mr. Ibrahim Ali Jama ‘Baghdadi” took over the governorship. A veteran economist, Ahmed Hassan Arwo came in as the new Director-General. Speaking at the occasion, Abdirashid Duale, Group CEO of Dahabshiil Group of companies said, “ I would like to use this opportunity to welcome Mr. Ali Ibrahim Jama (Bagdadi) , new chairman of the Somaliland central bank and also Mr. Ahmed Hassan Abdi Arwo, incoming Director General, and to thank the outgoing chairman and the director general who have done a good job and have overcome many challenges during that period”. “Central banks all over the world ensure that privately owned banking and financial institutions stay within national and international compliance instruments, foster development, and coordinate life-saving, financial services,” Mr. Duale said. Duale further emphasized the regulating role central banks played to oversee that private financial institutions served the best interests of the public thus becoming a most crucial pillar upon which any nation’s financial soundness and economic growth rested. “The central bank is the supreme monetary authority in every country, and accordingly it has to perform various useful functions for ensuring smooth functioning of the economy and by working closely with commercial banks in strengthening those institutions”, he said. Mr. Abdirashid Duale added, “Dahabshil group of companies will closely work with the incoming central bank team as we did with the outgoing management.” Mr. Mohamed Said Awale, the manager Hargeisa Branch of Dahabshiil International Bank also spoke at the ceremony. Dahabshil Bank International (DBI) came into operation in 2010 in Djibouti, before moving in to open branches in major Somali cities such as Hargeisa, Burao, Bossasso, Garowe, Mogadishu, and Kismayu. Dahabshiil Pvt., the most senior company within the Group, has a network of over 24000 operators and agents in 144 countries worldwide making it a most-trusted, formidable player in the remittance industry, internationally. The company provides a vital link between the Diaspora Somali and other African communities and relatives back home keeping an indispensable lifeline of remittances flowing. The Vice President H. E Abdurrahman Abdillahi Ismail presided over the handing over ceremony of the held at the civil service commission hall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVefdCF6adQ

Press Statement April 27, 2018 Centre for Policy Analysis (CPA) demands Somaliland Non-State Actors Forum (SONSAF) to clarify its position towards the safety and work of the human rights defenders of Somaliland. Having considered a written complaint submitted by a human rights defender, and after analyzing the comments he complained about, we are deeply concerned about the unacceptable and dangerous statements publicly made by a senior staff of SONSAFwho openly attacked through the social media the human rights defenders and made allegations that can put their lives at risk. The allegations also harshly tarnished the concept of human rights itself. We acknowledge that this is not the first time the officer in question made in a public place a similar statement that undermines the human rights while claiming representation of SONSAF. Recognized that the human rights defenders are already working in a tough environment in a selfless manner, it is unacceptable a senior staff of SONSAF to lead a smearing campaign against them. It is beyond doubt that the work of human rights organizations in Somaliland is not any way contrary to the sacred religion of Islam. Any claim to the contrary to smear the human rights is wrong and perilous. Human rights are enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Somaliland which is based on the religion of Islam as stipulated in article five of the Constitution. We urge SONSAF to distance itself from that statement, take an appropriate action against the senior staff in question and make a public apology to the human rights defenders and refrain such unacceptable and dangerous attacks to the human rights defenders and to the human rights principles. Lastly, CPA commends the work of the human rights defenders in Somaliland and urges them to continue their efforts. For More information please contact with us at cpa.hornofafrica@gmail.com.

Finally, Kulmiye is too clever for their own detriment. For the last eight years this party has bet on the gullibility of the public to shamelesly lie to their face, telling them what the people wish to hear. For instance, on their visits to Somaliland, western ambassadors to Somalia are casualy introduced to the public as the representative of the country in Somaliland and Somalia. But this time, they have gone too far. Today, one thing is obvious and that is the government is lying about the nature of supposedly UAE delegation the president has received yesterday. The government’s narrative is that a high level delegation consisting of 12 persons met the president and apologized for remarks made by UAE minister last week. Allegedly, the delegation also promised to lift ban on Somaliland livestock exports, train and equip Somaliland forces and facilitate free movement of people and goods between the two countries. All this is good news, but many citizen are not having any of it. That is mainly due to the secrecy surrounding the identity and the ranks of the delegation. Apart from being twelve persons and of high-level, the government failed to release any more details. There were no joint press conference after the meeting. Journalists were not provided photographs of the delegation along with the press release. All we know about the envoy comes from the spokesperson of the president in a video posted on his facebook page. The ministry of foreign affairs reiterated spokesperson remarks today. This is remarkably different than how usually Somaliland receives dignitaries and how they are presented. Normaly, journalists are invited to the reception or photos of the event are posted online. There is also the matter of inconsistency in the press releases of the president’s spokesperson and the press release of ministry of foreign affairs. While the presidency mentions the establishment of kidney hospital, and public servants training provided by UAE, Ministry of Foreign Affais does not. On top of that disgusting cherry, the UAE side is yet to make statement regarding the alleged delegation. The final blow then came from an online tabloid newspaper, Qarannews, which reported that the delegation is not political at all, but consists of junior officials in DP World and the Djiboutian businessman Abdirahman Boore. At this juncture, one might wonder, what would compel the government to so blatanly lie to its people. A little background information explains it all. Last week, the UAE state foreign minister told BBC Arabic that Berbera military base and port deals came to being thanks to understanding with the Federal Government of Somalia, and that UAE did not have any communication with Somaliland. This embarrassed the Kulmiye who for long played the card of patriotism against the opposition. Suddenly, Kulmiye became a suspect of relinquishing the sovereignity of the country. Uncharacteristically, Waddani party has not let the chance go by. Abdirahman Irro called for the resignation of Muse Bihi and the trial of ex president Ahmed Silanyo for high treason immediately after the revelation. That must have thrown the government of tracks. In a desperate attempt to safe face Muse Bihi have grossly underestimated the intelligence of the people and orchesterated this sham. This time, I am glad to say, people know better. People are mocking the ill prepared and executed sham on social media. There are jokes and buns about the invisibility of the delegation, stolen photographs of the event that mirrors the theft of the constitution of Somalia that was revealed recently. Some people are even wondering the existence of a ghost country which is also called UAE that sent a ghost envoy to Somaliland. This time the lie did not pass. I am happy for that, but what is keeping me awake tonight is the question of what else, of higher consequences, is this government lying about? I can’t be the only one wondering that.
