By: M. A. Egge The President H.E. Muse Bihi Abdi has just shown that his administration during his tenure will be one that would uphold equality and dismantle tribalism hence fight against clannism. This hint was portrayed and depicted in his firs full cabinet meeting he had with his newly named administration yesterday whereby the ministers were directed not to attend or be part of a function held in their honour by the members of their kinfolks or communities they hail from. In an hour-long meeting that was graced by all but one of the 32 named members of the new cabinet, the Head of State outlined that his administration was chiefly focused on adhering to its agenda as based on the ruling Kulmiye party’s campaign objectives. He noted that the implementation of the National Development Plan Phase 2 was also the issues at hand expected to be expedited. The President underpinned the importance of patriotism while underscoring the prioritization of national cohesion hence impressed upon the ministers the need for stepping up the peaceful stability cherished and sealing rifts opened in the wake of tense political campaigns. The Head of State especially noted that the above efforts were to be collectively carried out and indulged into such that unity and solidarity may be maintained. According to the Presidential Spokesman Hussein Aden Egeh who told the media of the meeting, it was expected that they were to uphold equality in all matters of development and justice nationally. These and more directives were contained in a seven-point items articulated in a resolute meeting held. 1. All members of the council of the cabinet took oaths of allegiance and secrecy of officialdom. 2. Ministers were to verify all their movable or immovable wealth. 3. Supply personal CVs as per constitution. 4. To hold consecutive cabinet meeting in line with working procedures 5. All regions should be equally subjected to justice and development aspects. 6. Since all ministers are national leaders they ought to uphold the stature hence should refrain from gracing, participating or indulging into partisan functions that are tribally based or aligned with clannish innuendoes. 7. All ministerial changes-of-guard functions should be held in or on government premises only. The above directives gives a hint that the new Head of State is bent on fighting against tribalism, pilfer by official status or misuse of public property or office

I spent my younger years trying to assimilate. Now I know better. BY SAFY-HALLAN FARAH Growing up as a Somali girl in the 90s, I saw Somalia’s civil war everywhere. I saw it on television, where countless shows would reference some variation of “starving children in Somalia,” usually as a punch line. I saw it in movies like “She’s All That,” where an early scene showed Rachel Leigh Cook’s character making art that represents the “pain” from a night a “riot” took place in Mogadishu, Somalia. And, of course, I saw it on the news, where one day, while watching CNN with my dad, I noticed the chyron read, “THE CIVIL WAR IN SOMALIA.” “What civil war?” I asked him. But he avoided the question — because while Somalia’s civil war was a topic of discussion pretty much everywhere else, the only place it was never acknowledged was in my own home. I do not fault my parents for this. They wanted to preserve my carefree-ness, a resource I’ve learned over the years is finite for someone like me, who is terminally concerned. But much to the chagrin of my parents, I eventually put two and two together. And unfortunately, this meant I learned about the civil war the same way most kids who didn’t get the “sex talk” learn about sex: through real and fictional people — on television, in books — who aren’t my parents. Over the years, my relationship to Somalia, and by extension myself, has mostly been filtered through the media, which has not been friendly to my people. Prominent images of us include the AK-47-wielding “warlord”; the “pirate”; the “terrorist”; and the young woman whose circumcision is at the crux of her narrative, because white people can’t seem to look past the fact of it. I could never see myself in these crude, alienating images and narratives. And even though I knew I wasn’t getting the full picture, I still believed what I saw: Somalia is a failednation. Somalia is scary. Why don’t we stop killing each other? I was convinced we were the sole problem. Never once did I level blame — full or partial — at our colonizers, Western media conglomerates, and everyone else with blood on their hands. I used words like “failed” and “war-torn” to describe Somalia — when in truth, Somalia could more aptly be described as “beautiful” and “rich in natural resources.” My parents, who had put a concerted effort into shielding me from negativity, unknowingly created distance where there should have been an opportunity for early intervention. In the same way I had learned white was right à la Mary Kate and Ashley, I learned Somalis were pariahs and I had to do everything in my power to not confirm biases people may have about us. When kids at school would ask me, “Why are all Somalians (note: not Somalis) scared of dogs?,” I would reply, “Because house pets aren’t a part of our everyday lives, so sometimes they startle us.” Then, I’d do my best to pretend that I wasn’t scared of dogs, either, even though I totally was. On numerous occasions, I almost shit myself in terror just to avoid this stereotype. My best friend at the time, who had immigrated from China the year before, watched me chase this sort of elusive approval so often, that she eventually tried to give me some perspective on the matter: One day, she took me aside and said, “At least they don’t think you eatdogs.” At my lowest, I reveled in compliments from my non-Somali peers, essentially praising me for not doing that thing your people do, good job! I knew they didn’t like me for me, but I wanted to be liked regardless — and more importantly, I wanted to fit in — so assimilation was at the top of my priorities, every single day. I know now that the onus shouldn’t have been on me to dispel stereotypes. I was but one little girl, who shouldn’t have been expending her energy on anything outside of school, my Neopets obsession, the cast of “Holes,” and buzz bands. But it took time to get there. The turning point for me was when my dad sent me to an Afrocentric charter school (whose name comically borrows from a famous black movie). In retrospect, it might have been a cult: At this school, the students had to sing songs in praise of the school and were only allowed to wear red, black, yellow, and green — the colors of the Pan-African flag. We even had a song about it: “red, black, yellow, and green / these are the colors of our liberation.” Suddenly, I was forced to assimilate to a very specific idea of blackness that excluded my Somaliness. But it was there I learned to embrace stereotypes against Somalis, because it was the only way to keep my sense of self — which the school was trying to systematically erode — intact. It was also at this school that I realized that stereotypes can often be aspirational: A lot of the Somali girls at my school, the ones who didn’t want to be nurses, teachers, or lawyers, either wanted to be models or have their life story written for them like “The Caged Virgin” or “Desert Flower,” because that seemed like the only path to real existence in the eyes of people who aren’t Somalis. This was before the Warsan Shires and Nadifa Mohameds of the world — when Fatima Said, who competed on cycle 10 of “America’s Next Top Model” (and sobbed about her circumcision on national TV), was the closest thing to a psychic culmination of their aspirations. These were often the most interesting Somali girls, with complicated personal histories I couldn’t relate to and enthralling personalities that magnetized our peers. Little has changed since then, and we still have work to do in how the media presents Somalia and Somalis. In 2014, when the producers of “Captain Phillips” came to Minneapolis to find pirates, my mom’s slick-haired first cousin Rinji auditioned for a role. The criteria was simple: dark-skinned, lanky, tall — what many Somali men, Rinji included, naturally look like. He showed up to the Brian Coyle Center near the Cedar Riverside apartments where the auditions were taking place, fully convinced he’d become an overnight celebrity — not the “next” of something, but a long-overdue first. He was precisely what they were looking for, after all. When he didn’t receive a callback, and it was announced on television that the producers had found their pirate, Barkhad Abdi, Rinji screamed at the TV, “Man, I thought they said dark-skinned and skinny, not ugly as hell!” I cackled for days every time I recalled Rinji’s reaction, not because I found Barkhad Abdi particularly ugly, but because Hollywood’s stereotypes are absurd — and represent just how much work we have left to do. Despite the unlearning I’ve done over the years, I still struggle to see myself doing something the world hasn’t seen yet — like writing a show or book whose protagonist looks like me and hails from my culture. This year, I vowed to myself that I will actively work to combat the limitations of my own imagination, so I started a zine with my friends, called 1991. The name comes from the fact that Somalia’s civil war broke out that year. And while Somalis’ stories — especially my own — don’t start or end there, the year was a turning point for us globally, and it’s more than ripe for art that goes beyond stereotypes. I wonder now, had my father and mother been frank with me, if I would have reached these conclusions any faster. My instinct is to say it would have went down the same way, but I’ll never truly know. What I do know is that I have a chance to be a part of the changing narrative, and create new images of us — ones that aren’t interpolated with the white gaze — something I can’t wait to do for the rest of my life.

Hassan Ali Daoud in the mission of saving Somaliland mothers #ReachTheNeglectedMothers Why did you choose to study Medicine? The number one blessing behind me to be study Medicine is my parents who were educated and they knew the importance of a doctor to the community, and they used to tell me and my siblings the benefits of being a doctor. I took my first diploma in First Aid when I was in grade 10 in high school. I liked it and it became an area I got more interested in. I had a hard time when I was joining my medical school as well, I applied for Cairo University in Egypt, and my application was not accepted. I applied again and accepted to sit for the entrance exam of the school of medicine of University of Hargeisa with 540 applicants. 3 days later, I saw my name not in the list of 44 students who were accepted. I didn’t lose hope, and my mother advised me to Join Amoud University. I had another big challenge because there were 940 applicants and only 25 spaces available. We all had one year of foundation and by the end of the year, I was the second top student. I am now enjoying my second last year in the medical school. What was the first development project you got involved in? I established a student Union in my high school, and I succeeded to publish the first publication of the school Journal, the Voice of Qalax. I visited back the next year for the event of the second publication. It was a remarkable experience for me and I still look back. In 2012, luckily, I remember in my annual university holiday, I entered a hall that Hargeisa International Book fair event was happening, I saw the leading individuals like Edna Adam (My Role Model, the mother of Somaliland Health), Abwaan Hadraawi (our Somali Shakespeare poet) and many others from every sector in my community gathered to discuss and debate society problems to find solutions. It was going on for 1 week. In 2013 I volunteered in this wonderful event to understand and digest the ideas of our elder generation. From 2014 up till now I am the volunteer coordinator of HIBF (which now gathers around 100 international guests from all over the world) and I do organize more than 70 volunteers each year. There I met with Somaliland Life Makers, a youth group from all over the world who were all Somalilanders and gathered to introduce to the youth how volunteering is important in our region. I asked them to become a member of that team, they welcomed me warmly. I became one of them, we were doing campaigns for providing shelter, food and health facilities to those who need most. We were spreading for 6 years only one message (Somaliland is not waiting others but only its people, to build invest, improve and sustain) It was 5 months ago, when I succeeded to collect some of the active youth in Borama City and delivered them the message and we announced Somaliland Life Makers Borama team. We did the same task and provided food during Ramadan, the Muslim fasting month and clothes for Eid which marks the end of fasting. Tell me about your volunteering in the field of maternal health. What’s your vision? How will you achieve it? Two years before, I started to volunteer with some other students at two big campaigns of fistula repair for almost more than 200 women per year from all over the Somali speaking regions at Borama National Fistula Hospital. We use to go to take the history, physical examinations and prepare them for the operations. The most shocking part was when you see very young women at the age of 15 years or less got married and developed obstructed labor for more than 5 days in somewhere that has no medical facilities at all. And you keep listen and some say the head of the baby came out and the rest couldn’t deliver and she kept travelling hours over the rough roads by a car (they even don’t know who will pay the rent of the car!) from that day I liked to volunteer more in the maternal health. We are one of the countries that has the highest maternal morbidity and mortality rate in the world. My vision is to save all mothers not only in Somaliland, but the whole continent. I was asked by Micheala, a German friend of mine, what gift I’d like, once she was coming for the Somaliland Presidential Election of the past month as international observer. I chose to bring us an ultrasound machine to work for those who have less and far and can’t reach the health centers. I have donated to my university and they they donated to the regional public hospital. I recognized it needs a long journey and time to decrease it dramatically as the developed countries, but I have been thinking about a way that the mothers of tomorrow, the mothers of 2020, those who are in the universities, colleges, and school girls can be saved. They are all using smart phones, and I want to develop a mobile app that can educate them on the important health messages, like how many times they should go for antenatal and postnatal care, and the warning signs, more over not to cut their baby girls later on and we all clear the FGM from the region as well. I feel like they are all waiting me and I have to take always more steps forward. The delegation from Germany donating Ultra-Sound Machine to Amoud College of Health ScienceHow do you think the development of Somaliland’s health care will help in the country’s overall development? if someone has a MI or serious condition and he or she needs PCI or other advanced procedures that we don’t have in the country, he or she needs to travel to another country to seek treatment. Some don’t have the money, some get difficulties of getting visa’s, or the passport (because we are not recognized country), if our health care is developed, we will not lose our genius babies, our heroine women and girls, our intellects and our doctors and many health care professionals. The more we build our health sector, the more we live in a better environment. How can Somaliland Health System be improved? Well this is quite big question, but I believe it needs to be corrected both on an individual and institutional level, let me start with the administrative and lower health care workers, they should have the proper skills, their educational level should be upgraded by get training regularly. General physician doctors get medical license which has an expired date, we don’t have postgraduate medical studies in the country which would have saved many people. There are too many people who are just practicing medicine and running their own clinics, giving unnecessary medications to the patients and all these need quality care. Moreover, there are too many doctors from the neighboring countries who established their own clinics and getting no observations and sending the patients unnecessary laboratory investigations Some monitoring mechanism that can allow the real professionals to provide the health services as well upgrade those who are just practicing. We don’t have any screening, diagnostic, and treatment center for all types of cancers. We send some times the biopsy to Kenya or another neighboring country. Fortunately we have in the country for the past years two mammography machines in the capital city. The country needs to establish its first oncology department center. If any accident happens people take the injured people and reach them to the nearest hospital. They may take the patients in a wrong position and may worsen his condition or make other multiple fractures. Community areas have no emergency call services at all, and we really don’t have any ICU’s in the regional hospital, just an emergency department. The more shocking part is we don’t have any paramedics at all. In our ambulances, we have the driver only (sometimes, his phone may be switched off). Getting the surgeon, the anesthetist may take us 3 hours or more and some of our patients may get serious conditions. Our public health sector is completely in the border line. Our ministry of health and the doctors they rarely organize public health awareness, we are all the time dealing with the complications in the hospital. Fortunately, Amoud University, the college of health science, has been doing community activities for more than 10 years in Borama Region. Luckily I am very proud to lead this year the community activities program of our university. More than 1000+ Medical, Dental, pharmacy, laboratory, Nursing and public health students with their supervisors go two areas where there are many poor socio-economic people lives two days in the week. Where do you hope to see Somaliland in 5/10 years time? I see beautiful future studies and fellowships, and more over less patients in our hospitals. I hope this will uplift so high the quality of health sector, we will get postgraduate and will build together free health service for all. We will leave no one behind. Who do you hope to be in 10 yrs.? It’s a difficult question, and no one can predict how things will be tomorrow. But I am sure of one thing, I will be a better change maker. In 2 years time, I will be doing my internship. I hope I will go round the country to see real problems that my people are encountering. I will study in what ways it could be solved. I will proceed my career to study public health or the global health to promote the universal health coverage and the sustainable development goals particularly Goal 3. I will fight until no mother dies of Infections, Anemia, Pre-eclampsia, Antepartum or Postpartum Hemorrhage and many other preventable illnesses in Africa. What does a typical day as a medical student involve? It’s very tough and challenging. We go to classes 6:30 A.M till 7:30, we had some snacks for 20 minutes by 8 in the morning we all go to the ward rotations. We do patient history, physical examinations and do assessment and plan. Doctors come and check with us and they discuss with us the most likely disease it will be, the next best step in management and the patient approach till 1 :00 P.M. we go back to our houses, at 4 PM and 6 P.M in the afternoon, some days we may have classes again and for our free time we dive our books. One thing that is different from any other medical schools in the developed world apart from the resources and the quality of the teachers we have is, stressful life of typical medical student. It is not coming from the medical school but it’s coming from the patients we have and the system of our health care. For example, we have two types of patients, one is very poor and one is in the middle class or rich. For those who are poor, they don’t even afford to pay the lab investigations like checking the Blood Group and or the Urine analysis or the IV cannula etc. Sometimes we go to the hospital admin and we make them for free, but sometimes they make it for many people this day, and the hospital can’t accept more than that. We collect from our pocket money. Our second type of patient is very rich and has many family visitors, our hospitals don’t have the machines and the diagnostic tests we could send for them. For example, No CT scans, or MRIs in our public hospitals and even not available in the private hospitals of some of the regions. How has Medicine Africa and the kings Somaliland partnership helped to enhance your learning? The first time I heard of Medicine Africa was my first year 2013, I joined a dinner event for saying good bye to the teachers from UK ( I remember the teachers Dr. Lora and Dr. Alexander), and as well the students from University of Hargeisa in the 2 weeks of interactive learning of psychiatry. I signed up that day and I use to see the different sectors of Aqoon program. The students in UK and students from here in Somaliland discussing about cases. The clinical reasoning tutorials is the best tutorial we get from kings college and medicine Africa, it builds our thinking and our approach to the patients. How do teaching sessions from UK based doctors help improve your learning of a topic? The tutorials starts from the communication skills course and later we go to the courses we are feeling we don’t have any teachers in that field like the Radiology course. The sessions are interactive, the teacher is asking, students are answering and the teacher is explaining and commenting finally. We all take part together and its one of our most interesting classes we get in the week. We are very happy to have senior professional doctors from NHS, volunteering their valuable time to teach students how to interpret the basics of some diagnostic machines that even don’t exist in our settings. What inspired you to start up your blood transfusion project? How is It going? It was November 2016, when I was in the maternity ward and we received a patient with Antepartum hemorrhage and she was transferred from an MCH with an ambulance. Her initial blood level was 7.5 which is low amount of blood and was still bleeding, after we stabilized her and we asked to get blood transfusions, we didn’t get it earlier, and the doctors said her blood group named B- is not found widely. Her pregnancy was always at risk because we had rare B- individuals. We have a booklist of donors in our lab, and we called two men. The first one said I donated one month ago and the other one said I am quite far from the city. The doctors have seen the condition of the baby which was worsening and prepared quick emergency C-section. The family took a car and got the man and he donated one bag. The lady came out after an hour from the surgery and she asked the doctor, Is my baby alive? He said we couldn’t save the baby. Later on, the mother developed postpartum depression, and it took us a week to keep her mood up. I took an attention of why we don’t have in the hospital a blood bank so that we give the transfusions earlier. It was not that much longer, a week later when again we received the end of the day a mother with postpartum hemorrhage(bleeding during/after childbirth) and she was shivering and conscious, but completely blue lips and very pale hands. After we stabilized her condition and sent urgent investigations, results came out with a blood level of 2 grams/dl. Luckily her blood type was O- and she found 3 units of transfusions, she got the transfusions and she was getting better hour by hour. I left the hospital and went my classes worrying about her condition, next morning I came early and went directly to see her. I saw an empty bed and rushed to the nursing office and they told she passed away two hours ago! And it was very hard moment, I was remembering her history and she was bleeding for 4 days somewhere close to the border of Somaliland-Ethiopia, she was telling me she couldn’t find a car and family was quite poor and found late time. That day I decided whatever it takes to me, I will establish Borama Blood Bank. After long run in the social media and tweeting for 1 month, I found my intermediate classmate Marwa Mohamed, who is registered nurse graduate from Edna Adan university. We calculated the money of the machines and it was $10,000. We use to tag the different sectors of the community, local politicians and ambassadors. Finally, we met with Nimco Ali who has already fought for ending FGM and she said to us “you guys, what you are looking for is exactly drops of hope, and I am ready to help you”. We started a gofundme page (https://www.gofundme.com/dropsofhope) during the UK campaign of the #Callthemidwife. Thanks to the 130 UK citizens who had participated the donations. Later on I remembered one reason that the mother was died was include no transportation. And we again look for a donor and again Nimco has found a donor from UK who has paid the money of the Ambulance. Thanks to Nimco Ali as well who has turned my dream into reality and now saving Somaliland mothers. The journey was quite long and the hospital admin found a temporary machine from Hargeisa. Then I started a blood donation campaign from my medical school. Students were donating their blood. The unforgettable moment was, when the first donor, Mawlid, a lady suddenly appeared and said, I need a blood transfusion. We gave her and she said, I have been looking for this type of blood for 4 days. I was there and encouraging students to donate. For the past two months, I was very busy on finding the equipment’s and finally we found it from china with $14,000. So now the items are in the procurement stage and will be sent upon completion.

Somalilanders are quietly and confidently concretizing their dreams of statehood – all with the wish of one day being recognised as a political entity in its own right. The last few months of 2017 have been characterised by global debates in relation to statehood recognition and its consequences for global order and the expansion of citizens’ rights. From Europe to the Middle East and Africa, we are openly discussing, for example, what takes to recognise a new country; what are the political consequences of recognition in terms of socio-political and economic stability, inclusion and citizens’ rights; or what are the consequences in terms of prevention of conflict and sustaining long-term peace. I think – just to name a few – of the political struggle in Catalunya, the independence referendum in Kurdistan, the continuous debate in relation to Palestine, renovated in times of Trump, and the on-going civil war in one of the newest and internationally backed countries, South Sudan. Meanwhile, in Somaliland – north of Somalia, East Africa – Somalilanders, quietly and confidently, continued concretizing their own statehood dreams: over the last few months, Somaliland has organised its third presidential election, which took place on November 13, demonstrating the strength of its electoral, multi-party and hybrid political system. All with the wish of one day being recognized by the world as a political entity in its own right. Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.Twenty-six years ago, Somaliland unilaterally declared independence from Somalia and now enjoys peace and stability in a volatile and violent regional context. Nevertheless, Somaliland is not recognised by a single country. Over all these years, Somalilanders, step by step, have overcome the most complex of socio-political and economic challenges and, with little support from the international community, have co-created what is today considered a unique peace and state-building example, attracting the attention of many people like us who want to understand how local organized citizens can craft their own solutions to civil war, insecurity, poverty, environmental problems and instability. As members of Somaliland Focus UK, we accompany Somalilanders’ efforts. Recently, we co-organised the International Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) to the presidential elections. We also disseminate knowledge about this East African country, which is offering unique lessons to the world. In this article, I present a brief account of the formation of Somaliland and its current achievements and challenges. We hope this is a small contribution to share information on what is certainly an example to the world. I will publish an extended research report early next year (together with Dr. Marta Fernandez, Brazil). The EOM will publish the final report on its observation mission in the first half of 2018. Peace and state-building in East Africa Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.Somaliland is a successful example of peace- and state-building. Unlike some other African countries – still suffering diverse violent conflicts and intensive flawed and/or militarized international intervention – in Somaliland, local actors were and are the main stakeholders leading, creating and sustaining a legitimated political order. The end of the civil war was possible because of the implementation of a locally led model of clan negotiation: a customary system of “social forgetting” which endorsed reconciliation and dialogue towards peace and constitution making. Since 1991, local clans organised and self-funded several “national” inter-clan peace conferences and grassroots local assemblies dealing with clan reconciliation, constitutional issues and institutional formation. Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.All this follows local customs: a local- and indigenous-lead conference lasted several months, implied commitment to arduous consensus-building facilitated by local elders, entailing long discussions among citizens held under the acacia trees and inspired by ancient poetry. The scenery, and peoples’ predispositions, were the gateway to what is called “sympathetic attention” and mutual interest, two pre-conditions to generate collective agreements, new ideas, joint decisions and finally, create a country with its own constitution and new institutions – all achieved despite various challenges, including the outbreak of violence in between meetings. Today, for example, Somaliland has its local councils, a bicameral parliament – including the “Guurti” formed by indigenous elders and an elected one – its executive representatives and institutions including various specialized ministries, a central bank and local currency, a budget financing national public policy (the National Development Plan and other policies) and several functioning international representations working abroad as “embassies”. Somalia does not recognise Somaliland’s self-declared independence. As a consequence, there is an ongoing dialogue process taking place, mediated by Turkey. Legitimacy: a state created by and for citizens Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.Many studies evidenced the legitimacy of Somaliland peace and state-building process: “Somaliland had more success in legitimating the state in the eyes of its citizens at least because it was based on cultural notions that neither colonialism nor “scientific socialism” were able to eradicate… it could, indeed, be seen as a first indigenous modern African form of government which entails traditional forms of organisation based on reaffirmation of lineage identity and territoriality within a democratizing framework containing an emphasis on self- reliance” (Kibble, 2001). “Sympathetic attention” and mutual interest were two pre-conditions to generate collective agreements, new ideas, joint decisions and finally, create a country with its own constitution and new institutions. Somaliland’s nation-state was demanded and co-created from the painful lessons of internal war, struggles after independence and divergent political options in Cold Ward times. In this context, Somaliland’s people deposited faith in the security and predictability that the kinship system could provide during state collapse and the long and painful process of post-independence politics and post-civil war reconstruction. Because of this society-wide support for its young democracy, Somaliland’s nation-state is defended and nurtured by the vast majority of Somalilanders despite the lack of international recognition and existing differences between various clans and political parties. Against all odds, they are united in the common idea of sustaining their nation’s security and safety, while working hard to promote more development opportunities for all. It is noteworthy that respect for local dynamics and a politics of legitimation are prevalent in contrast to the somtimes short-term objectives and interests pushed by “international actors” actively engaged in other peace and state-building processes on the continent. Third elected president and the future ahead Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.As mentioned above, in November 2017, Somaliland organised its third presidential election, efficiently coordinated by the National Electoral Commission (NEC). Three political parties’ candidates successfully ran their campaigns and the election resulted in the confirmation late in the month of Musa Bihi Abdi of the Kulmiye Party as new president. Unlike in other African countries -where presidents stay in power for decades creating a suffocating political context-, in Somaliland, the incumbent President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud (Silanyo), also of the Kulmiye Party, did not run for a second term. In the days following polling day, tensions emerged between political parties and their supporters and the associated clans, from some perceived and real institutional challenges linked with running a well-organised and transparent election. Nevertheless, these disagreements were, again, eventually successfully managed by local leaders -from political parties, institutions and traditional representatives- with the aim to “defend” peace, coexistence and democratic stability above all. Remarkably, the defeated candidate openly declared in a press conference days after the election: “I don’t want my desire to hold this post to destroy my country and shed my people’s blood”. As Edna Anan -one of the most recognised local social leaders- mentioned in one of the public meetings organised after election day: “above all, Somalilanders recognise that with democracy everyone wins”. On November 21, the election result was declared by Somaliland’s National Electoral Commission. On November 28, the Supreme Court endorsed the result, after no formal complaints were received. Somalilanders in every country corner -from desert rural areas to busy cities- flooded schools and community centres to cast their vote. Young leaders -for example, a group of more than 600 local observers and hundreds of electoral staff, national police and political parties’ agents- worked tirelessly to, yet again, demonstrate their belief in democracy. It was moving to see social mobilisation on such a scale to support the right to decide. Kate Stanworth. All rights reserved.While traditional forms of organisation are still very important, new generations are quickly entering into the public space, organising initiatives to open up debates and provide increased transparency and public scrutiny to clan and political parties negotiations and practices. Youth and women-led organisations are working hard to change discriminatory, dangerous and unjust traditional customs. For example, during this election period, “Inspire” a new youth-led social enterprise, organised the first national presidential TV debate: all candidates had to respond to concrete policy questions as the nation watched and openly debated the quality of the proposals and their options. Social media is widely used to share ideas and information, connecting everyone beyond any social, gender or clan distinction. Somaliland might be the first African country to prohibit female genital mutilation (FGM) as per the promises shared by all presidential candidates. Many challenges still lie ahead: new investors and regional interests might need to think smart in terms of conflict prevention and national sovereignty. For example, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has signed an agreement to develop the Berbera port and open a military base nearby. Issues in relation to land prizes and management as well as the transparent management of resources are already causing concerns. As soon as investments and development funds start coming to the country, Somaliland might need to reaffirm its commitment to put citizens and peace before everything, demonstrating solid human rights, anti-corruption and transparent development practices that distinguish it from other countries. Similarly, the country must start pulling together resources in the areas of education, health, infrastructure and small-scale development, overcoming years of mainly spending on security and some institutional building. It will be good to see if Somaliland can put human rights and citizens’ peace and dignity at the centre of every future policy decision. This is the time to make the right choices. In times when we face new questions in relation to secessionist and independence movements, Somaliland offers an examplehow citizens can come to organise their own socio-political processes, making theirnvoices heard so as to create fairer social orders without much “international aid”. In all, Somaliland poses questions to the world: when and why to recognise the creation of a new country and how best this facilitates peace and security? What are the limitations and problems of international intervention – by action or omission – when the challenge is to understand and support socio-political harmony? Can this country become an example to the world in respecting human rights and citizens’ dignity? We hope so and we will stay close to observe and support. Opendemocracy

Israel’s Intelligence Minister Yisrael Katz has invited Saudi Arabia’s crown prince to visit Israel in an interview with a Saudi news outlet, according to Haaretz. Katz confirmed to the Israeli daily that he extended the invitation to Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday in the interview with the UK-based independent news website Elaph. According to Haaretz, the excerpt with the invitation was edited out of the final version of the wide-ranging interview. Katz, in the interview, described Saudi Arabia as the “leader of the Arab world” and recommended that peace negotiations between the Palestinians and Israel happen under the kingdom’s auspices. Israeli-Palestinian talks have been at a standstill, but US President Donald Trump had pledged to revive talks, with the US acting as a mediator in the process. Last week, Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, while planning to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, prompted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to “disqualify” the US to act as a mediator in future talks. Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has reiterated the kingdom’s stated commitment to a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. This has been the kingdom’s official position on Trump’s decision. The US move triggered a wave of protests from the Arab and Islamic world. However, according to a Reuters news agency report, Mohammed bin Salman is said to be acting on behalf of senior White House advisor Jared Kushner, and has presented Abbas with an American plan for Middle East peace. Officials from Saudi Arabia and Israel reportedly met in the past and a handful of similar invitations have been extended. Last month, Israeli Communications Minister Ayoub Kara invited Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh to visit Israel. Several days later, Israel’s chief-of-staff Gadi Eizenkot gave the first-ever official interview to Elaph, saying that Israel is ready to share intelligence with Saudi Arabia on Iran. Though Saudi Arabia does not officially maintain diplomatic ties with Israel, recent developments appeared to have pushed Riyadh and Tel Aviv closer together. Analysts have said the covert ties between the two countries are based on the “common threat” of Iran and are part of a new regional dynamic. Iranian proxy Katz, who expressed his plans to lead Israel’s right-wing Likud government in the future, said that Israel would act to prevent Iranian presence in Lebanon, which is home to the Shia Hezbollah movement. In reference to Hezbollah, Katz said that his country could “return Lebanon to the stone age” should Hezbollah decide to attack Israel from over its borders. He added that Israel possesses information that proves Iran is assisting Hezbollah in manufacturing arms in Lebanon. “The more accurate that Hezbollah’s missiles get, the stronger and wider Israel’s strike will be. This time, all of Lebanon will be a target,” he said. “As is happening with Syria.” In October, cross-border violence between Israel and Syria set off an exchange of heated threats between the two sides. They traded blame when Israel attacked Syrian artillery, claiming it was responding to what may have been errant rocket fire that landed the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Katz added that in discussions with the French President Emmanuel Macron and the European Union, it was agreed that if necessary “military force against Hezbollah could be used particularly at this time,” referencing Lebanon’s Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri’s halted resignation. “The Arab League considers Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation,” he said, adding that this would help Israel in a decision to attack, if necessary. ‘Golden opportunity’ Katz also talked of a railway proposal that would connect Israel’s port city of Haifa to the Arabian Gulf. “This is not a dream at all. This could become a reality very soon,” he said. The project proposes a shorter and cheaper route to transfer goods from Europe and the Americas, said Katz, as a railway would extend from Israel through King Hussein Bridge crossing with Jordan. “The Jordanians would then go on to extend that from the northern town of Irbid, all the way to the Saudi border,” he added. “This is what we propose to the Gulf.” Katz concluded the interview by drawing attention to “Iranian influence” in the region once again. Despite Iran’s “interference to destabilise the region”, Katz pointed to the railway project as an opportunity to achieve lasting peace. “It is important for Saudi Arabia to join the peace efforts and lead the way for peace by promoting such significant economic projects. Also to form a strategic alliance with the United States in the face of Iranian extremism and terrorism,” he said. “It is a golden opportunity”.

Dutch judges jailed a onetime aide to Ethiopia’s former communist ruler Mengistu Haile Mariam for life on Friday for war crimes carried out during Ethiopia’s “Red Terror” purges of the 1970s, including the execution of 75 prisoners. Eshetu Alemu, 63, was found guilty at his trial in the Hague of ordering the 1978 killing of camp detainees – many of them under 18 years of age – who were taken from their cells and strangled with ropes in a church. In the hearings held under Dutch universal jurisdiction, Alemu, a former Mengistu regional representative, was convicted of all charges brought by prosecutors, including arbitrary detention, inhumane treatment, torture and mass murder. “The fact that the majority of victims were children younger than 18 makes the crimes all the more cruel,” said presiding judge Mariette Renckens. Alemu came to the Netherlands as an asylum seeker in 1990 and had been in custody since 2015. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges but was not present when the verdict was read out. Negus Gebeyehu, a prisoner in a camp under Alemu’s control, gave an emotional speech in the Hague court following the verdict as other victims cheered. “Justice has been done for Ethiopia,” he said. “I was imprisoned as a young man and I survived. This is also the day for us to forgive.” An Ethiopian court had sentenced Alemu to death in absentia in 2007 for his role in the “Red Terror”, which Mengistu’s communist military junta conducted after Ethiopian emperor, Haile Selassie, was ousted in 1974. Mengistu was found guilty in absentia of genocide in the same trial in 2007, where he and top members of his military government were accused of killing thousands during his 17-year rule. “Today’s verdict shows perpetrators that the Netherlands will not be a safe haven,” Jirko Patist of the national prosecutor’s office said. The Netherlands is one of the European countries that has established an international crimes prosecution unit to prosecute alleged war criminals residing in the Netherlands even if their crimes were committed abroad.

The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced, on behalf of the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie, that Canada will provide $10.4 million for humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities in Somalia. Minister Hussen made the announcement during an event with members of the Somalian community at the Kingsview Village Junior School in Etobicoke, Ontario. This new funding will be allocated to the World Food Programme, UNICEF, the United Nations Development Programme and the American Refugee Committee to help address the critical needs of Somalis affected by the ongoing severe drought and food insecurity in Somalia. “While Somalia has taken great steps in recent years toward peace and stability, the country remains vulnerable to both natural disasters and conflict. Canada stands in solidarity with Somalia and the millions of Somalis requiring humanitarian assistance in the face of drought and insecurity. Canada is proud to provide this humanitarian assistance to address the needs of the most vulnerable and ensure those requiring emergency assistance are reached.” Said Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Since 2015, Canada has allocated $89.3 million to address drought- and conflict-related humanitarian needs in Somalia, which includes $4.6 million from the Famine Relief Fund. This funding has been channeled through UN agencies, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement and non-governmental organizations to help provide food, water and sanitation; treatment for acute malnutrition; and other medical support, shelter and protection to those in need. Canada also provides humanitarian support for approximately 1 million Somali refugees living in neighbouring countries through its funding to the UN Refugee Agency and the World Food Programme. During the announcement, Ahmed Hussen was accompanied by fellow Cabinet member, Kirsty Duncan who is also the member of Parliament for North Etobicoke. Other federal government officials and representatives included Borys Wrzesnewskyj, The member of Parliament for Etobicoke Central who is a great friend of the Somali Community in Toronto. Ahmed Hussen said, “Borys made history as one of the few western politicians to visit Somalia in 2005 when no other Western politician was interested in doing so. His trip to war-torn Somalia got press coverage that reignited the interest of the International community in helping Somalia and the Somali people” Canada is a significant humanitarian donor in Somalia. This assistance to humanitarian partners will help save lives and alleviate suffering among the Somali people in many ways. The World Food Programme will receive $5.25 million to provide emergency food assistance to millions of drought-affected Somalis. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) will receive $2.5 million to deliver health and nutrition services, water and sanitation, and education and protection to children. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will receive $1.7 million to support local and international humanitarian organizations in providing flexible and timely assistance to those in need. The American Refugee Committee has received $950,000 to provide water and health interventions to drought-affected regions in northern Somalia.
