The drum beating by the Puntland president Mr. Abdiweli Gaas inciting his countrymen to go to war with Somaliland has taken him to oblivion. This year alone he has attacked Tukaraq in Sool province of Somaliland twice and on both occasion he has suffered a massive defeat. According to political pundits Mr.Abdiweli Gaas wanted to use the sons of Puntland as sacrificial lambs to vouch for his presidential campaign expected to be held in December 2018. The people of Garowe, Bossaso and a section of Qardo are closing monitoring Mr.Abdiweli Gaas move to take Puntland into war at the eleventh hour of his administration tenure, a war his men were outnumbered and outmatched in firepower and manpower. In this respect the tribal propaganda of assembling clan militias has been put on hold because the people have realized the truth of matter since this is Abdiweli war to further his political agenda. According to confidential information I acquired from some top military echelons in Garowe and Hargeisa confirmed what Mr.Abdiweli Gaas feared to be known. The Puntland military was destroyed and the defeated in the Tukaraq war hence cannot dare fight another war and simply cannot sustain a full military offensive against the Somaliland military. It is no secret that the Puntland army defeat against the Somaliland led on the 14 day of this month the Puntland intelligence chief Mr.Abdirisak Issa Hussein also known as Khatumo was sacked alongside the PPS boss Mr.Abdillahi Adan Mohammed (Abdillahi Ulle) were fired because of the Puntland military defeat in Somaliland. The loss was christened the bad luck adventure war. Political commentators in Puntland believe that the four years Mr.Abdiweli has been steering Puntland the country has been on the decline thence his plan B to revive his political capital however the problem is that he lacks experience in military and security affairs. Furthermore president Gaas after realizing that he cannot afford to fight another war he has changed tactics and is trying to use a lot of money to buy support. Some people close the president of Puntland based in Garowe decided to sponsor women and youths of Lasanod town to demonstrate. Some were even given small arms to fight the security men of Sool region. Nevertheless this endeavor failed to materialize hence the second strategy was to use the televisions, radio stations and websites to broadcast ant-Somaliland propaganda misinforming the international community that the Somaliland government is abusing the people of Lasanod. Another ploy of the clandestine plan was to tarnish the reputation of Lasanod and Buhodle legislators in the Somaliland parliament. The president of Somaliland addressing the country during the Eid celebration called for peaceful coexistence with Somaliland’s neighbors whereas the Puntland president called for war. President Abdiweli Gaas has stooped to low up to the extent of using school children and women to fight his war since he cannot sustain a military war following his numerous defeats bat the hand of Somaliland army.

MOGADISHU (Reuters) – Somalia and Ethiopia announced they were jointly investing in four seaports to attract foreign investment to their two countries, the latest move in a tussle for access to ports along one of the world’s most strategic waterways. After Somalia’s president Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo hosted Ethiopia’s prime minister Abiy Ahmed for a meeting at the presidential palace in Mogadishu, the two leaders issued a joint statement of pledges to cooperate on everything from the development of infrastructure including roads linking the two countries to expanding visa services to promote cultural exchanges. The statement did not elaborate on which ports the two countries would develop. The Horn of Africa’s Red Sea coastline extending north of Somalia through Djibouti and Eritrea toward the critical Suez Canal is already dotted with ports owned or run by countries locked in a regional struggle: the United Arab Emirates and its ally Saudi Arabia on one side, and Turkey which backs Qatar on the other. Landlocked Ethiopia, which has a population of 100 million, has been led since April by 41-year-old former intelligence officer Abiy, who has moved swiftly to assert his nation’s interests on the international stage. “The leaders further agreed to invest in logistics and service provision specially to leading ports in the continent that can serve both the Indian ocean and the Red Sea,” the statement read. The day before Abiy’s visit to Somalia, the United Arab Emirates pledged to give $3 billion to Ethiopia in aid and investments, in a major show of support for the new leadership in Ethiopia. The strengthened partnership between Ethiopia and the oil-rich Gulf monarchy is significant in the context of Addis Ababa’s ties with Mogadishu. Somalia and the UAE have been at odds for months over the broader dispute in the Gulf region. That Middle Eastern feud is driving the desire to control the Horn of Africa and its waters, diplomats, businessmen, scholars and Somali officials have told Reuters. In May, Ethiopian state media reported that Ethiopia had taken an unspecified stake in the port of Djibouti, its main gateway for trade.

Ethiopia’s capital of Addis Ababa on Friday saw hundreds of thousands of joyous people performing prayers as part of nationwide Eid al-Fitr celebration in the horn of African country, whose Muslim population is the second largest in Sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria. Seasonal rains abated to give way to refreshed men, women, children and elders gathered at the city center chanting Allahu Akbar or God is great. The huge gathering was joined by dignitaries from the government and Islamic Affairs Supreme Council. Speaking at the occasion, Mayor Diriba Kuma said Ethiopia – a pluralist nation – has a Constitution that gives religious equality to all. He said that recently the country has embarked upon reconciliation and reform measures aimed at improving living conditions and enhancing national unity. Sheikh Mohammed Sherif, head of the Addis Ababa Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, told the gathering: “This year’s Eid celebration is special as it came at this particular time when the government gave express emphasis to unity after so several years of tensions.” Relative peace prevailed in Ethiopia and people’s hopes revived after the coming to power of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed two months ago, stressing fast-track reforms and reconciliation including the release of political prisoners and Muslims detained on what many call trumped-up charges. Hope springs Renowned author and journalist Zekeriya Mohammed told Anadolu Agency that this year’s Eid celebration — and the holy month of Ramadan before it — is special in more ways than one. “I can say that this year’s Eid al-Fitr is so special in that it is being observed in an atmosphere of ongoing political changes in our country,” he said. “As with the past couple of years, during this year’s Ramadan the Muslim community were passionately praying towards Allah to help the nation sustain this positive development.” He added: “The Ethiopian Muslim community pioneered a peaceful resistance movement against government interference in religious affairs from 2011 to 2014.” “Although the Muslims’ peaceful resistance movement didn’t achieve its desired results in full yet, I believe it certainly inspired the nationwide Oromo protests that followed and which resulted in the present political changes in the country,” he said. He said that although Muslims’ demands had to do with constitutionally enshrined religious rights, community representatives were thrown into jail with false charges of terrorism and other offenses. “Thanks to Allah, the Most Exalted, all the leaders of the movement have now been released after enduring four years of unjust prison terms,” he said. “That has added to the joy of the Muslim community, and all the Muslim community representatives are celebrating Eid al-Fitr with their community for whose cause they made the dearest sacrifices,” he added.

Forces from a Saudi and Emirati led coalition have captured the airport in Yemen’s port city of Hudaida, military officials announced on Twitter. In a post on Saturday, an account associated with the Saudi-alligned Yemeni military said the airport had been “freed from the grip of the Houthi militia” and that de-mining operations were ongoing. Hudaida airport is located just to the south of the city-proper with heavy fighting still ongoing on Hudaida’s southern edges. Houthi sources have not yet confirmed their loss of the airport. Heavy fighting has left at least 39 people dead as of Thursday, including 30 Hourthi rebels, and nine pro-government troops. Rebels have instructed civilians to move away from the outskirts of the city and towards the city centre. Hudaida is home to about 600,000 people and a port responsible for 70 percent of imports into Yemen, raising fears the fighting could ignite a humanitarian catastrophe. The UN Security Council has expressed its “deep concern” over the fighting and UN officials have warned of a risk of famine. Adana Dieng, UN special adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, said the attack on Hudaida could heighten the risk of famine. “The Yemeni port (of Hudaida) is a lifeline for the delivery of aid and the Coalition’s air attacks can kill many more people over time through famine and hunger when damaging such civilian infrastructure,” Dieng said in a statement.

The UAE will deposit $1bln in Ethiopia’s central bank to ease a severe foreign currency shortage By Aaron Maasho, Reuters News ADDIS ABABA – The United Arab Emirates pledged a total of $3 billion in aid and investments to Ethiopia on Friday, an Ethiopian official said, a major show of support for the new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed. The UAE will deposit $1 billion in Ethiopia’s central bank to ease a severe foreign currency shortage, government spokesman Ahmed Shide told Reuters at a palace in Addis Ababa after Abiy met with Abu Dhabi’s crown prince, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed. No officials from the oil-rich Gulf state briefed journalists, but the UAE and its Gulf allies, in particular Saudi Arabia, regularly give large sums to cooperative governments in the broader region.In 2013, the UAE was one of three Gulf monarchies that pledged a total $12 billion to the new government after the military ousted a president from the Muslim Brotherhood. Abiy, a 41-year-old former intelligence officer, took up his position office in April after three years of unrest that had threatened the EPRDF coalition’s hold on power. The coalition’s choice of Abiy, from an ethnic group that has long been marginalised, signalled its willingness to allow some political reforms, but he has already gone farther and faster than most had expected. Two weeks ago the government said it would sell stakes in its lucrative telecoms monopoly and other assets including the national airline. It also pledged to end a war with long-time enemy Eritrea, offering to implement a peace deal signed in 2000. DAM DISPUTE Last weekend Abiy visited the UAE’s ally, Egypt, and offered a newly conciliatory tone in a long and bitter row over a dam Ethiopia is building on the Nile, which Egypt fears threatens its water supplies. Abiy had travelled to both Abu Dhabi and Riyadh shortly after taking office. Shide said the UAE’s pledges would have a “significant impact” on Ethiopia’s foreign currency shortage. Despite showing the fastest growth in Africa for the past decade, the landlocked country of 100 million people is heavily dependent on imports. A hard currency crunch caused partly by spending on big infrastructure projects has reduced foreign currency reserves to less than one month’s worth of imports, according to analysts’ estimates. Foreign investors and local businesses say all sectors of the economy have been hit. Abiy said in April that the government’s plans to continue expanding its infrastructure and the nascent manufacturing sector meant the currency crisis might last for 15 or 20 years. A Ethiopian foreign ministry official said the other $2 billion from Abu Dhabi would be invested in tourism, renewable energy and agriculture. On Friday afternoon, Abiy got behind the wheel of a white car and personally gave Sheikh Mohamed, the de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates, sitting in the passenger seat, a tour of Addis Ababa. Shide said the crown prince’s delegation included investors interested in real estate and hospitals. Source: zawya

Since Somaliland’s declaration of its autonomous political ambitions in 1991, many Somalilanders and beyond are still confusing or are in a position of different opinions according to; what Somaliland has been achieved since then and also where it is heading? In other words; is Somaliland the right path to realize its longtime dream of statehood since its inception in 1991? Or is it the time to sit and rethink its future deeply? Before we go through approaching these questions; it is more interesting to go back and have a short preview to Somalilands’ political background, chiefly during and post-colonial years. More than eighty years under British rule, Somaliland was a pastoral democratic society, where by a traditional cline system and a modern state affair were rivaling side by side. During these years Somaliland had different ideological political parties, free press, and Westminster like representatives elected from across the country. When Britons achieved Somaliland coastal areas, in late eighteens century, they immediately started to agree with tribal headmen on different locations and occasions chiefly in Berber, and those bilateral agreements created what is called Somaliland British Protectorate until 1960. However; In 1960s the British protectorate becomes among the first nations in Africa, which got their independence from Great Britain, and right away started to unite with the rest of Somalia (Italian Somaliland) to generate greater Somalia, a dream which never realized. Unfortunately this unification was not politically calculated and legally settled, so it became the gridlock of Somalis dream of uniting the Somali people in the region under one flag. Nine years after political ambiguity, corruption and marginalization under New Somali government in Muqadisho, unexpectedly coup d’état took place in 1969, lead by communist party leader M. S. Barre, covering his palms the little hope that all Somalis had to resume their life dream of great Somalia. Mean while, everything went wrong, the brutality, oppression and dictatorial policies outshine. Good or bad, after longtime struggling Somaliland managed to say enough is enough in 1991, and announced its self-declaration, claiming to re-correct one major and historic mistake: going and uniting with Muqadisho. Nevertheless; currently we may find some governments dealing with Somaliland as an independent country, by appointing ambassadorial ranking officers, opening consulate buildings in Hargeisa the capital city, officially welcoming Somaliland delegates on their capitals and reciprocally sending their high diplomats now and then, while also giving an entry visa to persons with Somaliland passports. Besides that, having bilateral economic agreements, like UAE and Ethiopia is another case showing Somaliland’s political positions in the region and a major political decision no one can denies. Yet; we do not have a sole state who deliberately acknowledges the political existence of Somaliland statehood and luckily or unluckily, we are not expecting it rapidly. Though recognition may have different meanings to different people legally, politically, socially and even diplomatically, what is meaning here is the traditional recognition of states in international system (the formal acknowledgement of the status of an independent State by other existing states). Therefore; been recognized is a dynamic approach depends on situational and political aspects of different states, greatly, it is more about a home growing phenomenon, as many scholars believe, including me. It is calculative and coherent national foreign policies, which are stemming from each country’s domestic policies, historical background, legal justification, regional and international stakeholders perspectives, and much more like. So that; we all know the importance of proving the rule of law, accountability, transparency and freedom of expression in the state are very key pillars to attract many other states and international actors. Coming to the point, Somalilanders are all aware of that until now; there is no single country in the world which dares to say Somaliland deserves a formal recognition as a sovereign state. Ethiopia -a neighboring and a sympathetic state- is even reluctant to announce what is in its heart, recognizing Somaliland case openly. Instead of that, Addis Ababa favored its cordial and deliberate quiet diplomacy. On the other side; Ismail O. Gelle’s regime of Djibouti is also using fluid and more personalized policy, which is unclear pattern and outmaneuvering Somaliland foreign policy. Gelle and his government are ready neither to recognize nor to advocate Somaliland recognition, as we learned from last 27 years. Besides the two hesitant neighboring countries, Somalia the metropolitan state, which shares with deep social, historical, economical and political bonds, is not yet prepared that kind of discussions, and not ready to answer the legal and political questions concerning Somaliland future, since it lacks freely elected president like Somaliland (universal suffrage). Many political commentators are saying, Villa Somali is bewildering its local security, peace restoration, and federalization processes, and not equipped and ready to negotiate Somaliland case of separation at the moment. More over; Somalilanders are tired showing off themselves to the big fishes of democracies like US and EU; leave behind their Arab brothers and fellow Africans. Somaliland urgently needs international engagement; to exercise and behave as fully independent state, in order to receive debts, loans, aids, and foreign direct investments, and also to be part a modern globalized trade system, to utilize its strategic location. However; the twenty five plus years, are very long in social and economic wise, but may be very short in political and state building aspects, as history teaches u Mustafe Barud Abdi
