By Rageh Omaar : Throughout that time I never thought I would see people in Somaliland turn out in their tens of thousands for a multi-party election. Yet that is exactly what is happening right now. A country that had been in the grip of hunger and disease is now in the grip of election fever. SOURCE: ITV

If yes, we do. Have you ever asked why our system is so uncompromising or irreconcilable? They are a confluence of problems that make up the tectonic shifts in our politics. Firstly, we are facing challenges in building inclusive national identity. Unlike, the exclusivist clan, Somali, Islam identity. Somalilandism is the common ground that unites all of us. Secondly, the first phase of democratization in Somaliland is successful. So far, three free and fair elections were held in the country peacefully. Unluckily, clan politics gained ground to race. This has eroded the faith in our electoral system because it revealed the stabbing division and that clan linkage is stronger than common citizenship. Some of the society are excluded from the system or their voices are not heard because they don’t belong to clan x or y. I strongly believe that our society are victims of tribal demagogue who have imposed falsified perception about tribes. In addition, Somaliland’s political trajectory has shown the world the fragility of democracy. It is delicate ecosystem that needs free media and civic consciousness. Ordinary citizens can’t exercise their rights to probe, criticize and question about people in power. Therefore, Somaliland seems illiberal from far due to its record of curbing freedom of press and religious tolerance. More importantly, Somaliland has made economic progress. But, the current financial crisis exposed the deep ties between government and systemic corporate greed, aided by stench of envy, mixed with resentment, the justification for national theft filled the air. These big companies are run by Sheikhs who purposefully polarize their own society for political profit, the result is rage and violence in the making. To consolidate the little progress, we need market based economy guided by macro-economic policies set by competent state. Currently, our society are in a state I call “the normalization of absurdity”. No one questions why some corrupt ministers are looting their wealth. It does not matter how much he has taken as long as he is their tribe or in other words the thief is theirs. The sense of commonality and collective consciousness is lost long ago. That will eventually lead to the failure of state to rationally respond to legitimate grievances and, will give rise to extremism. Lastly, we have fake democracy, growing less responsive and less representative by the day. It is the responsibility of the parliament to take into account to government. But, they prefer their interests rather than majority will.

Gobollada Bakool iyo Hiiraan waxaa ka billowday durba Ciidamo iskood u abaabulan oo diyaar u ah in ay la dagaallamaan Al-shabaab, kuwaas oo aan ka amar qaadan DFS. Ciidankaas oo tiro ahaan ka badan 300 oo Askari isla markaana ilaa hadda ah maleyshiyo aan cidna ka amar qaadan marka laga reebo Talis ay iyagu leeyihiin, waxaa ka dhalan karta halis kale oo dhanka Ammaanka ah. Taliye ku xigeenka Ciidamadaas iskood isu Abaabulay oo la yiraahdo Cabdullaahi Cabdi Zabriye ayaa u sheegay mid ka mid ah Idaacadaha Muqdisho in ay halkooda ka billaabayaan dagaalka ka dhanka ah Al-shabaab, haba noqotee waxaa kuwaasi ay sababi karaan Amniga waxyeello soo gaarta, maaddaama aysan jirin cid ay Hoos tagaan. Durbadiiba wuxuu sheegay in dhankooda ay diyaar garoobeen isla markaana ay howsha ugu horreysa ka billaabayaan in ay Isbaarooyinka Shabaab ka nadiifiyaan waddooyinka isku xira Hiiraan iyo Bakool. Madaxweynaha ayey dadka siyaasadda Indhaha ku haya ku dhaliileen go’aanka uu ugu dhawaaqay in shacabku ka qeyb qaataan dagaalka ka dhanka ah Al-shabaab, waxaana taasi ay noqon kartaa halis Amni oo hor leh, maaddaama uusan jiri Karin iska warqab buuxa oo ciidanka Dowladda, Kuwa AMISOM iyo dadka iskood isu abaabulaya ee dagaalka isku dhanka ah kula jira Shabaab. Khataraha ka dhalan kara waxaa ka mid ah, in ciidanka DFS iyo kuwa AMISOM aysan kala garan doonin Maleyshiyaadka iyaga Garabka siinaya iyo Al-shabaab oo ah cidda ay la dagaallamayaan, taas oo keeni karta in xataa malleyshiyadaas iyo ciidanka qaranku ay isku dhacaan. Qorshaha shacabku uga qeyb qaadan karo dagaalka lama Caddeyn sida ay Ogaatay Xogdoonnews, haddii hadalka Madaxweyne Farmaajo uu ahaa in shacabku hubka qaataan waa Khatar Amni oo hor leh, haddiise uu ula jeeday in ay garab siiyaan ciidanka DFS iyagoo aan hubeysneyn waa in hubka laga dhigo malleyshiyaadka durbadiiba billaabay dagaalka ka dhanka ah Al-shabaab, taaso u baahan in laga fiirsado oo dib loo eego xaaladda Ammaan ee dalku geli karo marka ay shacabku hubka qaataan.

By: Farah Yusuf HARGEISA— Voting in the presidential election will begin in a matter of days in Somaliland. Somaliland security heightened amid fears of terrorist attacks carried out before and after the elections. Security remains tight across the country on the directives of the interior ministry and the police commissioner. Police nabbed on last Monday 7 suspects in Hargeisa who are thought to be masterminding attacks against Somaliland. Two other suspects were arrested in the down town armed with weapons as reports indicate. The nine suspects who are in detention as police are interrogating at the moment. The landlord whom the suspects rented a house is under police custody.They are said to be in the country for two weeks planning to conduct terrorist attacks against Somaliland. Al Shabab conducted terrorist attacks in Somaliland in 2008 targeting the presidential palace, UNDP compound and Ethiopian Consulate in Hargeisa. In another development ahead of SL presidential polls that Puntland, a provincial administration in Somalia which borders with Somaliland is said to be amassing troops in amid a border spat with Somaliland’s armed forces. Puntland deployed armed vehicles and troops in Tukaraq and Taleeh which is under SL’s control. The objective behind Puntland amassing troops in the Sool is perceived as an act of aggression with Somaliland. Somaliland defense forces in the front lines are on high alert and have moved to the areas that Puntland have deployed its forces. It is likely that the two forces will clash in a deadly skirmishes. This comes after Puntland parliament voted that its forces must stop SL to conduct elections in Sool, Sanaag and Ayn regions. It is said that Somaliland exceeds Puntland in terms of defense forces. Defense reports confirm that Puntland cannot withstand SL’s armed forces due to lack of equipment and as well as robust forces.

Nairobi(Caasimada Online)-Hogaamiyaha mucaaradka Kenya Raila Odinga ayaa soo dhaweeyay wadahadal uu la galo Madaxweynaha la doortay ee Kenya Mr Uhurro Kenyatta. Raila Odinga oo u waramaayay warbaahinta Reauters ayaa sheegay ka hor inta uusan dhicin wadahadal in la doonaayo in marka hore Kenya loo sameeyo dowlad kumeel-gaar oo wadaag ah. Waxa uu sheegay in dowlad wadaagaasi ay Kenya uga badbaadi karto xasil daro iyo in dalka uu ka dhaco burbur. Raila Odinga, waxa uu sidoo kale sheegay inaan lagu dheeran doonin dhismaha dowlad kumeel-gaar ah, balse ay sii shaqeyn doonto muddo 6 bilood ah. Odinga waxa uu tilmaamay in kumeel-gaarka looga bixi doono khilaafka iyo xiisada kala dhexeysa Uhurro Kenyatta, waxa uuna meesha ka saaray in ujeedkiisa uu yahay in Kenya ay gasho carqalad iyo xasilooni darro. Raila Odinga waxa uu ku celshay in la doonaayo in mar Seddexaad la qabto doorasho xor iyo xalaal ah, maadaama uu horay u dhacay musuq-maasuq. Raila waxa uu tilmaamay in Uhurro uusan maamuli karin Kenya maadaama kala bar dadka Kenya ay aaminsan yihiin in la gacan bidixeeyay Qaranka. Sidoo kale, doorashadii ugu dambaysay ee dalka ka dhacday 26/10/2017 waxaa ku guuleystay Uhurro Kenyatta walow hogaamiyaha xisbiga mucaaradka uu isaga baxay tartanka kadib markii uu ku tilmaamay doorasho sharci dara ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Kenya ayaa u muuqaneysa mid ay kusii kordhayaan khilaaf siyaasadeedka suuragalinkara in dalka uu cagaha la galo amni darro. Caasimada Online Xafiiska nairob Caasimada@live.com

Midoowga Afrika ayaa markii ugu horeysay ku dhawaaqay in ay bilaabayaan in ciidammada nabad illaalinta AMISOM ay ka baxayaan Soomaaliya sanadkan dhammaadkiisa. Tirada askarta baxaysa sanadka waa kun askari, waana tiro aad u yar marka laga qiyaas qaato tirada guud ee AMISOM ee Soomaaliya ku sugan oo gaaraysa 22 kun oo askari. Balse waxa ay ahayd war lama filaan ah oo dhegaha Soomaalida ku cusub 10kii sano ee lasoo dhaafay ee AMISOM ay ku sugnayd gudaha Soomaaliya , xiligaas oo ciidamo lasoo kordhiyo mooyee, wax dhimis aysan jirin. Ciidammada nabad ilaalinta ee Midowga Afrika (AMISOM) waxa ay markii ugu horaysay dalka yimaadeen bishii Maarso, sanadkii 2007-dii, xiligaas oo uu Soomaaliya madaxweyne ka ahaa Cabdullaahi Yuusuf Axmed, waxayna suurtagaliyeen in markii ugu horaysay oo madaxweynaha iyo dowladda Soomaaliya ayka howlgalaan caasimadda. Inkasta oo afar degmo oo kaliya xiligaas ay dowladda ka shaqaynaysay, 12-ka kalee degmo ee caasimadda iyo 10 gobol oo dalka ka mid ahba waxaa haystay xoogagga dowladda kasoo horjeeda. 10 sano kadib maanta nidaamka dowliga ah ee Soomaaliya heer federaal iyo mid maamul goboleedba waxa uu ku baahay dalka oo dhan, waxaana gacanta lagu hayaa inta badan magaalooyinka waaweyn ee dalka. AMISOM ayaa gacan ka qeysatay in qeybo ka mid ah dalka la gaaro. Balse marka la eego mudada ay ku qaadatay iyo qarashka ku baxay, iyo hawsha tirada badan ee hadda dhiman, waxaa muuqata in arrinta aysan ahayn ‘guul iyo gunaanad’. “Rajadii laga lahaa AMISOM ma la gaaray” Cabdinuur Daahir oo ka faallooda arrimaha Soomaaliya, kuna sugan dalka Turkiga oo u waramay BBC-da ayaa sidan qaba: “Wixii laga sugaayay, iyo rajadii laga lahaa ma aysan keenin, boqolkiiba 40% ayay hawshii loo keenay qabteen, boqolkiiba 60% kuma aysan guulaysanin, sababtoo ah shaqada ay qabanayeen waxaan isleeyahay ma ahayn shaqo ay daacad ka ahayd, shaqo waxay ahayd meesha mushaar ay usoo doonteen”. Alshabaab waxa ay hadda si buuxda u haysataa gobolka Jubbada Dhexe, degmooyin ka tirsan Jubbada Hoose, deegaano ka mid ah gobolada Gedo, Bay, Bakool, Shabeelaha Hoose, Shabeelaha Dhexe, Hiiraan iyo xitaa gobolada Dhexe, waxayna markasta weeraro qasaaro badan ka dhasho ka geysataa caasimadda iyo meelo kale oo dalka ka mid ah. Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya Mudane Maxamed Cabdullaahi Farmaajo ayaa Xarunta Wasaaradda Gaashaandhigga maanta kula hadlay Saraakiisha Ciidanka Xoogga Dalka. Waxay sidoo kale geysteen weerarro qasaaro baaxad leh u geystay ciidammada AMISOM oo ay ku qaadeen saldhigyadooda Soomaaliya. AMISOM waxaa soo gaaray qasaare nafeed oo aad u badan mudadaas, waxaana ugu darnaa weeraro ka dhacay Dayniile oo Muqdisho ah iyo deegaanka Ceel Cadde ee gobolka Gedo halkaas oo tiro badan oo askar nabad illaalin ah lagu dilay mar kaliya. Iyada oo ay sidaas tahay, wali waxa ay dad badan ku doodayaan in ay wali taagantahay baahidii markii horeba ay dalka u yimaadeen. Xilliga lagu dhawaaqay bixitaankoodana wuxuu ku soo beegamayaa mar loo diyaargaroobayao duulaan ka dhan ah Alshabaab, “gacansiintoodana aad loogu baahan yahay”. Hase yeeshee waxa ay u egtahay in dowladda federaalka aysan walwal badan ka qabin bixitaanka AMISOM ee biloowday sida uu sheegayo wasiirka warfaafinta Soomaaliya Cabdiraxmaan Cumar Cusmaan. “Soomaaliya waxay isku duba riday hab nabadgelyo oo wanaagsan, waxaanan aaminsanahay in ciidammadeena ay heleen tababar ku filan, xiligan waa markii loo baahnaa in aan anaga dhabarka u ridano mas’uuliyadda amniga”, ayuu yiri Yariisow. Falanqeeye Cabdinuur Daahir ayaa dhankiisa isna qaba in bixitaanka AMISOM ay faa’iido tahay “10kii sano ee ay dalka joogeen ciidammada AMISOM, madaxda dalka waxa ay iska dhaadhiciyeen iyaga ayaa Alshabaab idinka difaaci doona, balse maadaamaa ay hadda baxayaan taas micnaheedu waxa ay tahay in ay Soomaalida isku tashato”. AMISOM lafteeda ayaa qirsan baahida hayso ciidammada Soomaaliyeed sida uu shalay shir jaraa’id ka sheegay Francisco Madeira oo ah ergayga Midoowga Afrika ee Soomaaliya. “Waxaan baahi degdeg ah loo qabaa in la hubeeyo, la qalabeeyo, islamarkaasna mushaaraadkooda la siiyo ciidammada Soomaaliyeed, waxaa kale loo baahanyahay adeeg caafimaad oo ku filan iyo waliba abuurista kaabayaashii militariga sida xerooyin ay wax kasta u dhamaystiranyihiin”, ayuu yiri Madeira AMISOM Markii ay ku dhawaaqaysay bixitaanka, madaxweynaha Soomaaliya Maxamed Cabdullaahi Farmaajo oo dareeska ciidammada xiran ayaa tagay wasaaradda gaashaandhigga Soomaaliya, halkaas oo uu kula hadlay askarta, una sheegay in ay isu diyaariyaan hawlgal militari oo ka dhan Al-shabaab. “Waxaan aaminasanahay in aan ka guuleysanayno Shabaab, khibradeedii waad leedihiin, waddaniyadeedii waad leedihiin, dowlad wanaagsan oo diyaar idiin ahna waad heysataan, anaga ayaana koow ka ah, shacab baraarugsanna waad heysataan, wax noo haray ma jiraan, dagaalkii waa socdaa, fadhi ma yaalo,” ayuu yiri madaxweyne Farmaajo. “Maskaxdii iyo aqoontii uu shacabka sugayay waa idinka, cid kale oo Soomaalida u maqan ma jirto oo aanan idinka ahayn”, ayuu hadalkiisa ku daray Madaxweynaha oo la hadlayay saraakiisha militariga oo isugu yimid goob ku taala wasaaradda Gaashaandhigga. Madaxweynaha ayaa hadaladan ku celceliyay marar badan tan iyo intii xilka loo doortay bishii Feberaayo ee sanadkan, wuxuuna marar badan muujiyay sida ay uga go’antahay in ammaanka dalka uu dowladda si buuxda gacanta ugu galo. Kalsoonidaas uu madaxweynaha muujinayo marka laga soo tago, caqabadaha ma ahan kuwa yar, wuxuuna hadda dalka ku jiraa xilli uusan lahayn wasiir gaashaandhig, iyo taliye nabad suggid, kuwaas oo xilka uga tagay xaalado mugdi ah. AMISOM waxa ay qeyb ka tahay hawlgalka hadda la qorshaynayo in lagu qaado Alshabaab, balse waxaa biloowday in ay si tartiib ah dalka uga baxaan dalka, waxaana laga wardhawri doonaa sida dowladda u hanato amniga dalka ka dib markii ciidamada nabad ilaalinta ay wada huleelaan illaa 2020-ka.

IOM, the UN Migration Agency, in cooperation with the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD), organized a capacity building training from 30 October to 3 November at IOM’s African Capacity Building Centre (ACBC) in Moshi, Tanzania. The training aimed at enhancing the understanding of international migration law and migration and development, as well as building the capacity within the IGAD region, including Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. The first two-week training took place from 18 to 29 September also at the ACBC. Thirty-three trainees were selected from institutions belonging to the National Coordination Mechanisms (NCMs) with diverse backgrounds including Ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Labour, Members of Parliament (MPs), and Immigration and Police Services from IGAD Member States. “We believe that it is important to have a holistic approach to migration management with the aim of emphasizing the positive contribution that well-managed migration can bring to the development of the IGAD region, ‘’ said Aaron Tekelegzi, IOM Special Liaison Office (SLO) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. “Sound policy and integrated approaches to migrant assistance during crisis situations, well supported regional labour policies, and cohesive free movement frameworks are of paramount importance to the development of the region,” added Marcellino Ramkishun, IOM ACBC Senior Migration Specialist. “Effective participation and valuable proposals are needed to improve migration management, maximize the benefits of migration and strengthen the cooperation among the IGAD countries,’’ stressed Dr. Khalid A.A. Lord, Director of the Sudan Centre for Migration and Development Studies. The recommendations to IGAD countries emerging from the training included better diaspora mapping and closer collaboration with financial institutions and private sector to encourage diaspora investment in their home countries. The training also led to recommendations to establish closer collaboration on bilateral labour agreements with host countries, as well as the development and adoption of migration policies and their fast-tracking at national levels. “This second training represents an important step in achieving the project’s objectives, building predominantly on capacity building of the NCMs from the IGAD Member States,” said Qasim Sufi, IOM Tanzania Chief of Mission. “The practical recommendations made by participants are also clear indicators of the success of the Regional Migration Policy Framework project,” he added. The training was held under the auspices of a joint regional migration project that is being co-implemented by IOM and IGAD to build regional and national capacities and implement the Regional Migration Policy Framework (RMPF). The RMPF aims at empowering the NCMs on migration through trainings, seminars and advocacy activities that help address mixed migration in the region and mainstream migration into development planning and programming by Member States.

NAIROBI (Reuters) – A militant faction loyal to Islamic State (IS) has increased its following in northern Somalia from a few dozen last year to up to 200 this year, a U.N. report said, days after the group came under U.S. air attack for the first time. The increase in strength of the IS spin-off group has attracted attention because some security officials fear it could offer a safe haven for Islamic State militants fleeing military defeat in Syria or Iraq. “The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) faction loyal to Sheikh Abdulqader Mumin – estimated…in 2016 to number not more than a few dozen…, has growing significantly in strength, and (now) consists of as many as 200 fighters,” said the report by a panel of U.N. experts obtained by Reuters. “Even a few hundred armed fighters could destabilize the whole region,” said a regional diplomatic security source. “It(air strikes) is a recognition from the U.S. that the situation in terms of the (Islamic State) faction in Puntland is becoming increasingly critical.” Somalia has been riven by civil war and Islamist militancy, though more in the south than in the north where the Puntland region is located, since 1991 when clan warlords overthrew a dictator before turning on each other. Friday’s air strikes failed to kill Mumin, the security source said. But Abdirizak Ise Hussein, director of semi-autonomous Puntland’s spy service, said the strikes killed about 20 militants, including a Sudanese fighter and two Arabs. Almost all Mumin’s fighters are Somali, the U.N. report said, though the group is believed to include a Sudanese man sanctioned by the United States. The group also has contacts in Yemen. It was unclear if the Sudanese man under U.S. sanctions was the same one reported killed in the air strike. “The number of IS fighters in Puntland has increased. Mostly they come from southern Somalia and a few, including foreigners, come from Yemen,” Colonel Abdirahman Saiid, a military officer in Puntland, told Reuters. The U.N. report said defectors from Mumin’s faction reported the group had received money and orders from Iraq and Syria, and one member said he had seen Mumin and another leader using TrueCrypt software to communicate with them. The United Nations could not independently verify those claims. Mumin’s group has been slowing increasing its activity over the past year. In late 2016, it occupied the port of Qandala in Puntland, a semi-autonomous region, for a month. Earlier this year, it carried out its first attacks. Its fighters killed four guards at a hotel in Bosasso, the economic capital of Puntland, in February. The same month, the group beheaded three men it had kidnapped. Somalia’s main Islamist insurgent group, al Shabaab, is aligned with al Qaeda and is most active in the Horn of Africa country’s south. It has repeatedly clashed with the Islamic State-aligned faction in the north. Additional reporting by Abdiqani Hassan in Bosasso; editing by Mark Heinric Source: Reuters
