I thought SSC-Khaatuma MPs would not be part of the new Parliament, what happened here?

I read that as coordination and information exchange on main security related points of concern, e.g. Red Sea, AS. But I could be wrong, what did you make of it?

I think these outcomes are overall positive, and under point 6 it seems that one has committed to resolving the conflicts peacefully. Nevertheless the elephant in the room remains the positions of SSC-Khaatuma in the overall equation.

For both sides it seems that talks have been further been complicated with the developments of the last year.

I don’t think one can really discuss the future status and relationship between Somaliland and Somalia without Somaliland and SSC-Khaatuma first having a common ground. From Mogadishu’s standpoint, it’s in their interest to be dealing with a united north rather than a fractured Somaliland consisting of 2 or more states or political entities, that would further complicate the existing federal dynamics and politics in Mogadishu, and would leave the Northern regions in a much weaker position. And Somalilands interest would be best served if it presented a united Somaliland representing all the regions and groups. So from that point of view and thinking, the only issue they ought to be discussing is for Somaliland to pursue a peaceful course, dialogue for a political settlement with SSC in order to unite and stabilise the region. And for HSM to support that discourse and for Muse to refrain from any harmful actions. I might be wrong but I don’t see much else that is worthwhile of discussing?

Nobody wants war and conflict, Somaliland people are rational whereas the leaders are warmongers driven by personal interest.

Consistency, predictability and rationality are the key characteristics in the rule of law. For Khatuma-SSC to become a credible administration or representative body based on the agreed rules and principles, it makes sense not to remain an integral part of Puntland state structures. The Garaads have made a very rational decision in the interest of their people, and it’s important everyone accepts their decisions, irrelevant of the clan affinities, solidarity and support.

Is there consensus also in Puntland on the SSC-Khaatuma decision?

Somaliland hasn’t been this unstable since the 1990’s when Calan Cas were wagon destructive clan faction civil war.

One had to admit that HSM has been achieved some of his priorities, such as lifting the arms embargo and getting Somalia in to the EAC. So it’s not that he is been traveling for the sake of it, but I am wondering if those policy changes wouldn’t lead to more damage than good? EAC expansion and allying so closely with Kenya and Kiswahili countries, might push Ethiopia to further advance its putsch on Somaliland and lead to a divided Somalia along regional blocks. A northern Somalia aligned with Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti (Habesha regional block) and a Southern Somalia being part of the EAC (Swahili block).

Xil Ahmed Khaliif pointing to the shameless charade performed by a desperate regime and its supporters.

Jiilka cusub ama Tiktok generation badankoodu wa igu sawir, wee ogyihiin dhabta oo waxba kama qarsoona aduunka waxa ka jira, dantooda ayee ka racaan oo wadan caadiya ayee rabaan oo aduunka ku xidhan, official status leh. As long as they can keep the flag, 18 may party, they really don’t care and will choose their own interest above all else. Do you think the young generation in Xamar is any different from those in SL? As long as they wave the blue flag, they will party to any tune that is presented and choose their own interest above all else. They do not care about state structures or the much propagated federalism, as long as they feel part of a state that provides normalcy, they are much more pragmatic that the old zealots dreaming of grandeur and a past gone era.

More and more MPs loosing any hope in regime to hold elections and fearing Somalkland crumbling under Muuse.

The irony is that while they talk of initiating war in Sool as a justification to postpone elections, in Sanaag the fighting between sub-clans has reignited which the regime hasnt been able to solve.

Somalia’s debt relief could open the door for even greater indebtedness and scales of corruption never seen before. Wondering who will you blame for that, IMF/WB as they were driving the process or those officials now taking credit for this?
