They cut ties with the government of Somalia when the SFG ignored them altogether they lose the most the SFG dont need Garowe, aslong as the embassies are in Mogadishu the international community will bankroll the SFG despite its corruption bad governance and all of that. Garowe loses the most.

Somaliland is getting there building their own roads constructing major infrastructure this makes me proud well done the Somaliland government and the people of Somaliland.

Detoore Somaliland doesn't mind if the HAG eat all the aid aslong as they eat it in Xamar with their damuljadid groups. The HAG communities will turn their aid money in their own pockets which is good for Somaliland. Somaliland takes its part already remember the special arrangement. But people in Somaliland nor the goverment puts allot of time in aid Puntland cares about Mogadishu because its their capital , Somaliland cares little if Mogadishu remains capital or not the situation is fine. The only problem with Mogadishu was the air space and we solved that , the pirates are the biggest losers no Prime Minister in Mogadisu and hassan sheikh mahamuud is the one and only president in the south after aideed who cut all ties with the garowe clan enclave.

The President of Syria understand what is at stake and he tries to form a coalition of those who are dissatisfied with his government and in this way he outmaneuvers. The Saudi Sponsored Jihadist and other Alqaeda affiliated groups. Asad needs also to appoint a prime minister from the coalition and move from there maintain the close cooperation with the Russians and the Iranians, this way he Delegitimizes what they were concocting in Geneva. He also needs to restore relations with the Egyptians sine most of the Arab leaders have abandoned Syria.

Assad: Syria Seeks to Build National Dialogue, Coalitions Al-Manar | February 25, 2014 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stressed Monday the importance of dialogue among the state’s parties in order to reach a sound political environment. During his meeting with Baath party figures – Damascus branch, Assad pointed out to the importance of the Syrian capital Damascus, which is featured by preserving the Islamic and Christian inheritance together, thus presenting a model of modern openness. “Damascus played a major role in Syria’s steadfastness during a three-year crisis,” the Syrian President indicated. He also stressed the need for dialogue and effective and constructive communication with the new parties in Syria, in order to identify future mechanisms of sound communication. “We are facing great challenges emerged by the crisis and the first one is to confront the extremist ideology which tries to penetrate the society,” he stated. “We also have unprecedented serious intellectual vacuum… Our duty is to deal with it,” Assad went on to say, adding that “Without dialogue we cannot develop neither the party (Baath) nor the country.” President Assad assured that the popular support of terrorism is shrinking while the reconciliation circle is being widened, and it is the most effective way to fight off the project of defeating Syria.

90m of British aid to Somalia'helps AlQaeda:Pressure grows to divert cash back to the UK £90m of British aid to Somalia 'helps Al Qaeda': Pressure grows to divert cash back to the UK David Cameron has approved the huge handouts to the war-torn East African country in an attempt to stop it becoming the next Afghanistan. By Tom Kelly and Tim Shipman Monday, February 24, 2014 Ads by Media ViewerAd Options Britain is donating more than £90million a year to Somalia despite strong warnings that its corrupt government is arming Al Qaeda-backed terrorists. David Cameron has approved the huge handouts to the war-torn East African country in an attempt to stop it becoming the next Afghanistan. But a leaked United Nations report has warned of ‘high level and systematic abuses’ by Somali government officials who have passed weapons and ammunition to Al Shabaab – the Al Qaeda-linked Islamic fanatics behind last year’s Kenyan shopping mall massacre in which 67 people died. British aid to Somalia is already channelled through charities and agencies, rather than central government, in a bid to sidestep rampant corruption among officials. A separate study revealed that many of these organisations have been forced to hand over large sums in ‘protection money’ to Al Shabaab to be allowed to work there – even during the drought and famine of 2011 when nearly 260,000 Somalis died. And nearly £500,000 of British aid and supplies has previously been stolen by Al Shabaab militants. The revelations last night prompted MPs to renew calls for a portion of Britain’s £11billion international aid budget be diverted to help flood victims in the West Country and the Thames Valley. More than 290,000 people have now signed the Daily Mail’s petition urging the Government to raid the aid budget to help pay for the clean-up. Ian Liddell-Grainger, the Tory MP for flood-hit Bridgwater in Somerset, told the Mail: ‘This is new evidence of what many MPs have warned about for years – that our aid money ends up in the wrong hands. ‘There are a lot of countries where we shouldn’t be sending aid because we’re not helping the locals and often the money finds its way to despicable people. We need to remember that charity begins at home. There are people in need here.’ Stewart Jackson, the Tory MP for Peterborough, said: ‘Taxpayers are willing to support overseas aid if it goes to deserving people. But when it goes to Third World kleptocrats and terrorists they will be concerned. We need a reassessment of aid when there are pressing priorities at home.’ Somalia was plunged into lawlessness after President Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991. However, International Development Secretary Justine Greening has said Britain is forging a ‘new and special relationship with Somalia’ and must fund it to stop it slipping back into ‘terrorism, famine and insecurity’. The Prime Minister also hosted an international conference in London last year, in which he pledged to help the country rebuild its security forces to tackle insurgents. Mr Cameron said: ‘If we ignore it we will be making the same mistakes that we made in Afghanistan in the 1990s. I’m not prepared to let that happen.’ A Department for International Development spokesman said: ‘This report provides absolutely no evidence that any UK funds have gone to Al Shabaab. ‘DfID works in Somalia because creating a more stable and prosperous world for the UK means tackling the causes of poverty, disease and terrorism at the root.’

I like to be devils advocate some times..... Pirates are harmless, their pirate business has been shut down , galgala cell is becoming more of a threat and Shabaab is moving into Mudug. They have so many troubles

This is just a symbolic gesture but in reality he cannot survive with out the African union troops . This is just to show to the residents of Mogadishu there is hope and its good but in reality its far from the truth. The Amisom forces are much and much more affective than Somali bodyguards. Somali troops were struggling to protect the interior of villa Somalia Abdiweli need to be careful what he does, but I believe this is just for the media and he knows better.

Any military confrontation between Somaliland and the garowe clan enclave will be a A win for SL, two successive garowe president failed to confront Somaliland, cabdi cawar will not be any different , he talks about grand PL conference he refused to recognize khatumo as an entity if he goes it alone and attacks Somaliland buffer khatumo in taleex and bocame he will drive them into the hands of SL and Somaliland will be forced to push beyond the Somalia Somaliland border. Cabdi cawar made it very easy for SL to score points the moment he made biindhe and karaash president. But something tells me cabdi cawar is all but talk. What will be interesting is that what will cabdi cawar do when khatumo tries to hold a conference in taleex about their khatumo , how will he approach that , Somaliland is just going to watch it khatumo will serve as a bufferzone. faroole attacked them in taleex , what will cabdi cawar do is the question. The situation is much more complex that u lot think there is a reason why puntland leaders were scared to death to talk about the sool region ,even cabdi cawar hardly talks about it. he talks about unity of his people, but not about sool.

^Stop being so dramatic Mahigaan.

asaas ma jirin becauase qaran lugu ma heshiin in la dhiso , asaas majirayo because Somali wali ma hehsiin dagaalki sookeeye laga ma heshin, ciidamadi sidi bay isu hor fadhiyaan. Xalku ma imanayo cid aminayso ma jirto ciidanka xamar. ciidanka xamar na hal beel bu hada ka koobanyahay, isago sidaas ah , ayaan wali amaanka u sugi karayn because musuq masaq iyo mushaharadi oo la bixin shabaab ba ka faideystey. Federalkuna Somalidu wali ma fahmin nin walba wuxu u haysta inu in goosto inta dawlad u noqdo dabeedna dawlada ku casumo sidana federal lugu noqdo.laakin waxasi haykal dawladnimo maha, hadal badan haan ma buuxsho Somalia , Somalina ku heshiin mayaan dawladnimo oo sidan bay ugu badisa dhamaantood ba inkastow dhibaato fara badan jirta somalida calashaan threat weyn ma haystaan oo sidan ayey ba jecelyihin siyaasin iyo odayaal ba.

Again read the content of the article react to that not the author which part do you disagree with by the way its known that Somalia is a failure even by those who support the government of Somalia its a country on life support. I know u hate Somaliland but don't late Somaliland hatred blind you from the failures of Somalia just a thought. Somalia has put it self into bad day light no one did it to them its something they have did them selves. Now u can talk how u can resolve ur issues and resolve the problems.

I believe the Foreign policy of Kulmiye for the first time is heading a real direction they have a strategy with the talks with Somalia and on one side engagement with the international community and a 3rd creating a strong basis for economic diplomacy with international companies. Somaliland is bypassing the African union because its a waste of effort its smarter to directly deal with their superiors the European union particularly the French. On top of that the Somaliland development fund and the Somaliland development corperation to bypass allot of restrictions. Long live Somaliland and its people.

Maybe u have English comprehension problems but no one said Somaliland is the utopia re read the article again. And if u read the entire article its about Somalia the government of Somalia the last part if about Somaliland.

KNOW THYSELF SOMALIA February 24, 2014 By Mohamed Ahmed Dn+Somalia+President+0906yc+pxThree words comes to mind when I think of the current state of Somalia: clan politics, corrupt leadership and Insecurity. Many people want to adopt the convention of dispatching these inconvenient fact to the past memory hole, but unfortunately today South Somalia is unable to free itself from the narrowness and shortsightedness of the above three points. One only needs to read the current report by the UN Monitoring group and see how South Somali politics is toxic and confusing. It is as if some in the administration are going about their illegal business with a brazen assurance. Corruption, I came to realize, is too frail a word for what is happening in South Somalia. The greatest crack in the pot was exposed recently by UN Monitoring group report to the Security Council. The most startling point of the report was the funneling of weapons to Al-shabab by some in the current administration. This makes you wonder if the weapons are funneled to Al-shabab, with whom, or what, is Hassan administration at war with? It is as if there is innumerable termite boring away the foundation of these make-believe-government while the international community covers it with corrugated sheet on the exterior! I’m actually questioning now the assumption that President Hassan sheikh administration is genuinely engaged in tackling insecurity in south Somalia. Pesky Al-shabab As recent Al-shabab attack on February 21st so vividly proved, Mogadishu is not back to normalcy yet. The sad truth, which surely most Somali knows, is that Al-shabab believes in divine sovereignty and express deep frank disdain for popular secular governments. One can understand why Al-shabab’s religion/political movement bent on social and moral reform can appeal to many poor folks. After the recent attack by Al-shabab, President Hassan Sheikh first address was not to Somali people, but to UN special representative, Nicholas Kay. The leaders of Al-shabab saw this as an open goal and took to the air to convince the people how the foul claws of western imperialism have clutched at the heart of Somali government leaders. They opted to use their warped religious justification and interpretation in wooing more support for their corrupt views. Despite Somali government having borrowed muscles of African Union, they still even lose the propaganda war to Al-shabab. 29-Al-Shabab-AFP-GettyThe African Union military response to Al-shabab didn’t achieve success beyond sporadically securing one main road in Mogadishu. It is in this moment, where Somali people are facing many undercurrent that are pulling them left and right, that Al-shabab takes advantage. The recent bold growth, proliferation, and increasing sophistication of Al-shabab will pull the country back to the drawing board. To attack the problem, I think Somalia president should embrace the advice of columnist, Faisal Roble in involving the security apparatus of regional states like Puntland. A better ameliorative measure will be to reduce the effect of Al-Shabab by turning the public against them. Indeed if there is a secret to speedy recovery, it rests primarily on the help of all Somali stakeholders. It is hard to imagine a solution to Al-shabab without regional governments working together in support of their mutual interests!Somaliland has been lucky since 2008, but that doesn’t mean Somaliland has any superior tactics to curb terrorism. It is just that Somaliland citizens decided not to accommodate a group that finds Islam not restricted to personal piety, but a comprehensive ideology that encroaches on political and public life. Enemy Within By now, most thoughtful people would take the UN report as self-evident. I was surprised to read tweets of a very prominent Somali opinion writer dismiss the UN Monitoring report as a Western alarmist sensational report. So much for a fecund imagination! Often I feel the most useful perspective of Somalia is one of neurotic. Everyone supports institution building only if it confirms to their narrow interest. Whether you see the report as sinister or ridiculous, the facts are clear. You have a government that have grown insensitive to running a clean government! One only feels that not only South Somalia is suffering from insecurity, but that the entire administration is decaying layer by layer. So far current Somali government administration has been schizophrenic and not able to create an environment that support a vision that includes reconciliations, accountability, and forgiveness. It is as if they’ve grown insensitive to their misery. It doesn’t take much brilliance to realize that there is a big problem in Villa Somalia. It would take time and great effort to try to reverse this injurious report. More and more, if you look at the record of insecurity in Mogadishu, the yearning of security by the president circle is one bad joke! Since the war against Al-shabab has serious international implications it goads the international community – for the danger it brings to the rest of the world-to funnel more money into the coffers of Somali leaders. The very nature of these circumstances makes me suspect whether Al-shabab attacks spring from the same source that it attacks. Invisible Horizon of United Somalia As the open-ended dialogue continues between Somalia and Somaliland, the elegiac lament for Somalia unity is only a dream for now. Currently, South Somalia can’t reasonably expect to live in a perfect harmony with itself. Although as a Somali, I find comfort in believing that all Somalis will be better off with a united Somalia, I’m afraid to admit the current State of Somalia is too uncertain to provide that elusive unity! It would come as no shock to acknowledge at this point, in rather a scornful tone, that I’m against the ways of Mogadishu politics! I’m not optimistic or positive about the prospect of Somali unity at this time, if anything I believe Somalia will vitiate and encumber the little progress made by Somaliland. Yes, I understand why some would argue that Somaliland is one clan project, but I beg to differ. In spite of its many flaws, however, Somaliland has provided a maximum opportunity for its citizens to exercise the freedom of self-determination-that is, they decided to live under laws of their own choosing. In the world of today no one people will take occupation as a sign of complacency. Many of the clans within the borders of Somaliland are happy to have Somaliland flags hoisted in their cities. Now, whether this is due to pressure from outside or within is yet to be seen, since they have not been presented with a feasible alternative to Somaliland. No one person residing in Somaliland and subject to its laws can be denied the rights that are available to others. Somaliland fostered the development of its people more fully than Mogadishu adminstration could feasibly present at this time as an alternative. The establishment of Modern Somaliland-the creation of political legitimacy and creation of sense of national identity- didn’t come all at once. If anything it was a long route with occasional divisive and subversive political orders. But today Somaliland is at a place where it cannot be overpowered and swept aside by emotional rallying cry of Al-shabab. To understand why it is reasonable for Somaliland to commit itself to political equality among its citizens, one needs not to look no further than South Somalia, and see what is in store if they dare not free themselves from narrowness and shortsightedness of tribal identity! One can prognosticate what the future for Somaliland would look like if they dare try to entertain the woeful bleak politics of Mogadishu. Somaliland is a place where burlesquing of president by a television station is the big story of the week. They should bristle at the suggestion of being told they have the same priority as an administration with insecurity problems like Mogadishu. The international community always insisted that the antidote to Somali crisis is to pump more resources into Mogadishu only, but that has shown to be flawed. One is reminded of the golden rule “he who has the Gold makes the rule” .Unfortunately, the international community gave the gold to the wrong team. Yet, nothing could illustrate more vividly the visible failure of Somalia than what is happening in Mogadishu today. Although, the relation between Somalia and Somaliland is extraordinarily complicated-Since neither side wants to cede ground over their political differences-one area they can be of help to each other is deterring Al-Shabab! Whether tomorrow produces a new engagement with Somali politics and abiding reality of insecurity-or a continue reluctance to address such reality-would in large part determine the fate of Somalia! Mohamed Ahmed

I doubt it ilkajiir used to travel with faroole to the interior ministry is always important in Puntland despite what region they were from Since Puntland has no Foreign minister

but alshabaab is in Puntland detoore in galgala in bari and there were many assassinations in puntland and detoore u have to understand that alshabaab moved to mudug. Do u think cabdi cawar can defeat all of that i doubt it very much there is friction in puntland security apparatus not that long ago they carried out a homicide attack in bosaaso.

Detoore we all know cabdi cawar is a major failure Alshabaab has been carrying out attacks all over in Puntland police commanders are being killed its basically no different than mogadishu maybe puntland needs amisom forces.

Hawdian u are correct the longer Somalia and Somaliland relations remain hostile due to Somalias claim over Somaliland the badder the relations will be in the future. Because Somaliland will always be reminded how Somalia kept on claiming SL against the will of its people and government. But Somaliland could have actively play a role in Somalia peace efforts and defeating Alshabaab i mean a real effective force it could reconcile the warring Somali factions it could have a balancing voice in IGAD which could be in favor of Somalia. Somaliland could have easily advocated a home grown solution for Somalia where it play an active role in it and keeps away external factors such as Ethiopia Kenya out of it. But the koonfurians most of them are short sighted and never think of the long term of their people in Somalia and its relations with Somaliland. Somaliland has effective security forces who have been trained and can easily fill the vacuum in places in Somalia it could easily be a boost for Somalia intelligence services. If Somaliland was recognized 15 years ago today Somalia would be peaceful Xabashi invasion could have been avoided in 2007. In 2006 sudan failed to bring the ICU and Cabdilahi Yusuf together i can bet my money on it that Somaliland could have reconciled the TFG and the ICU. Even today it could easily bring Ahmed Godane and Hassan sheikh to an agreement but before Somaliland can actively meddle in Somalias affairs first the 2 countries need to restore relations. Are the koonfurians willing to make such a sacrafice for Somalias peace and stability and prosperity in the future. Ethiopia will never ever bring Somalis together it will try to maintain the current status that Somalis remain all but enemies to each other and can never form blocks or make deals between them selves Ethiopia wishes to be the mediating factor of all affairs in Somalia. This is the result of Ethiopias meddling in Somalia affairs A tigray man tedros adhanom is making peace between Somalis there is a Tigray man in the middle of 2 Somalis

Ethiopia a firm believer of Somali unity lol Detoore lost it Ethiopia has been trying to divide arm warlords for the past 17 years in Somalia Ethiopia tries to befriend every entity aslong as it is not Alshabaab to be the mediator in all conflicts of Somalis they are friends to all enemy's to non except Amiir Godane. Ethiopia cares only how to weaken Somalia it prefers the status quo for everything a broken Somalia under her mercy Amisom Ethiopia IGAD diplomatic superiority and an unrecognized Somaliland its suits them the best. Ethiopia currently is backing the bay and bakool state soon Ethiopia will control the Somali border line regions all together. Ethiopians are smart they capitalize on Somalis and their distrust and leaders who have no national unity. Lol who is going to impose economic sanctions on Somaliland , the international community lolz the international community even supports Somalia and Somalialdn airs space agreement i believe Somaliland is in better shape than it was few years ago in terms of the international community , the ic wants a solution for the Somalia and Somaliland dispute. Somaliland told the United nations no UN flights to hargeisa where were the sanctions Somaliland told Britain we are not attending the London conference last year where are the sanctions if it is one thing Somaliland leaders only work for Somaliland and its interest and care less what the Europeans say about Somaliland heck even daahir rayaale told US officials he is not going to attend their meetings in Washington because its not inline with what Somaliland stands for. Dunidu way walaantahay marku cismaan ka fakirayo inay Itoobiya Somali mideyneyso looolz. The international community deals with Somaliladn as a defacto state with international contacts they IC initiated talks between Somalia and Somaliland and its going on for quiet some time now eventually there will be a break through though to separate from each other in the eyes of the world.
