South Sudan quashes coup attempt, President says By Lilian Leposo and Sara Mazloumsaki, CNN December 16, 2013 -- Updated 0716 GMT (1516 HKT) South Sudanese pack their belongings on a bus before their trip back to the South in Khartoum on Saturday. South Sudanese pack their belongings on a bus before their trip back to the South in Khartoum on Saturday. STORY HIGHLIGHTS NEW: South Sudan President says soldiers loyal to a sacked deputy started the fighting The President, Salva Kiir, declares a nighttime curfew "Gunshots/artillery fired over the past few hours in several locations," U.S. Embassy says U.S., British embassies tell their citizens to stay indoors (CNN) -- South Sudan's military has quashed an attempted coup, President Salva Kiir said Monday, after heavy gunfire gripped the capital of Juba. Dressed in fatigues and flanked by government officials, Kiir blamed soldiers loyal to his sacked deputy Riek Machar for starting the fighting. In a televised address, he said the government was in full control of the capital, and announced a nighttime curfew. "They tried to carry out a coup -- a so-called coup d'etat -- but they have failed," Kiir said. "All the people who were involved in this will be arrested." He said a nighttime curfew "for the sake of security and safety of our citizens" would run from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Tensions have been high in Africa's newest nation, which split from Sudan two years ago, since Kiir dismissed his entire Cabinet, including his deputy Machar in July. The move further inflamed deep-running tensions between Kiir's Dinka community and Machar's Nuer community. Earlier, heavy gunfire was reported in the city, government official Peter Biar Ajak said. The U.S. and British embassies in Juba urged their citizens via Twitter to stay indoors and be cautious. "Gunshots/artillery fired over the past few hours in several locations in Juba," the U.S. Mission in Juba tweeted. Sporadic gunfire In a statement on its Facebook page, the U.S. Embassy said that while there was now a lull in violence, it continued to receive reports of sporadic gunfire in parts of the city, particularly near Juba University. It said the airport was not operational. It recommended that U.S. citizens use "caution at this time," adding that travel in Juba was not currently safe. It also reiterated an earlier tweet denying Machar had taken shelter there. "We take this opportunity to reaffirm our earlier message that no political or military figures have taken refuge within the U.S. Embassy," the mission said. In a separate statement, the embassy said it was "deeply concerned at the recent outbreak of armed violence" in Juba and echoed calls from the U.N. envoy there for all parties to "cease hostilities immediately and exercise restraint." The British Embassy has issued an alert advising British nationals against all nonessential movement in parts of the country. South Sudan formally split from Sudan in 2011, after decades of conflict. Numerous armed groups remain active in the oil-rich country. Women, children flee to U.N. compound Hundreds of people, mainly women and children, have taken shelter at the U.N. compound near the airport and at a U.N. house in the city, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said. "We hope the security situation in Juba will quickly normalize to enable the civilians to return very soon to their residential areas. To that end, UNMISS calls on all parties to show continued calm and restraint," it said in a statement. It also denied "any suggestion that the U.N. Mission is harboring any key political or military figures."

• Firstly, the GoSL will have to call a referendum as it would mean a change in the constitution of Somaliland. Please note the constitution was ratified by 97% of electorates in 2001 which was considered free and fair by international observers. The Government in power which attempts to implement this change will have automatically committed political suicide and would most likely be followed by an overwhelming defeat in the next elections and replacement for the foreseeable future after its motion is rejected in parliament. I'm sure every political party in Somaliland is fully aware of the reason why they have been voted for and their expectations to abide by the constitution. • Secondly, the Government in Mogadishu would be expected to acknowledge the atrocities committed under the regime of Siyad Barre and hand over all those evading justice in Somalia and the West. However a recent report eluded that the SFG has requested immunity for former Defence Minister Mohamed Samantar who's currently in Prison in the U.S. for War Crimes committed in Hargeisa, Somaliland during the late 80's. Information on the case can be found online as 'Samantar v Yousef.' It is very unlikely President Hassan Sheikh would comply with such requests as it would cause him difficulty within his reconciliation efforts with the dozens of warlords in and around Somalia. • Finally, the SFG will have to acknowledge that Somaliland is not a region of Somalila but a country. The fact Somalilanders celebrate 26th June as their independence is testament to the history and reality of the region. Somalia's Independence Day is celebrated 1st July. Regions such as Puntland and Jubba Administration which had always been a part of the former Ita-Somalia would likely reject the notion that the reunification will be implemented as two countries reuniting again and not a 'Federal Region' as they are/want to be recognised as. The mammoth challenges which lie ahead are difficult indeed, I believe the talks will ultimately reach a deadlock which the international community will eventually be compelled to mediate. I believe this is actually the most beneficial solution for the GoSL as its clear the SFG have no logical reason to reunite other than the false hope that all Somali regions will eventually be reunited, this is known as 'Somaliweyn' in Somali. This logic is incompatible to the realities on the ground in Somaliland and the aspirations of self-determination of the citizens of Somaliland. Somaliland's case for recognition is similar to every other annulled union around Africa and around the world e.g. Egypt/Syria and Senegal/Gambia. In conclusion, the inevitable outcome of the talks will ultimately come down the ability of the SFG to recognise the realities on the ground and act on the olive branch being presented. The SFG recently lost an MP within its compound Villa Somalia; this displays the challenges it faces by threats not just within the country, but within its capital Mogadishu from Al'Shabaab. The opportunity for creating an environment of mutual trust and cooperation is required now more than ever in Somalia and I believe the inexperience of the unelected Government in Mogadishu are either inadvertently or purposely harming Somalia's position in the region. The current status quo of delaying talks will not benefit the SFG but prove Somaliland has done everything and the situation calls for International intervention. Just last week I read reports of Somaliland's first car was assembled along with the reports that a French investor is ready for invest a substantial amount into the infrastructure of Berbera port; these projects which have been implemented with the GoSL is testament to the reality on the ground. Moreover, the recent return of Genel Energy will raise eyebrows across the globe, especially if a vast reserve is discovered. It's important to note than these Oil exploration licences were authorised by the GoSL and will be used to benefit its citizens only. There a several options available to the SFG, one would ensure an amicably separation based on mutual trust and friendly relations whilst the other option would add tension, mistrust and animosity in an already volatile region eventually compelling International companies to act on the stalemate and lobby for recognition in lieu of their clients operating in Somaliland. The main issue many large international corporations have in Somaliland is insuring their products/services. Due to Somaliland's status, financial services will not provide insurance because Somaliland is yet to be recognised, this is a barrier which I'm sure stakeholders will tackle if the Port of Berbera will be utilized effectively. It would be an embarrassment to President Hassan Sheikh who proclaimed the intention of unity whilst International Governments and NGO's continue to coordinate, liaise and forge bilateral relations with the Government of Somaliland, this itself adds to reinforce that the GoSL is the legitimate representative of Somalis living in that region. Irrevocable and not for negotiation sovereignty of SomalilandIrrevocable and not for negotiation sovereignty of Somaliland The inevitable conclusion to the Somalia-Somaliland talks will come down to the issue of freedom and the right to self-determination. Can a country enforce unity on another country? The answer is No. Somaliland earned it's statehood through the darkest of times looking down a barrel of a gun. Think about it, those born in 1991 when Independence was reinstated will be twenty two years old. Twenty two years in living in what they know as Somaliland, how do you reverse that historical, physical and emotional attachment? As long as Somalilanders continues to celebrate its Independence when it gained it from Britain on 26th June 1960, it will always remain a country in the hearts and minds of its citizens irrespective of recognition and that remembrance itself is the biggest obstacle for the SFG.

Somaliland: The Inevitable Conclusion to the Talks with Somalia Monday, 16 December 2013 12:36 Submit to Delicious Submit to Digg Submit to Facebook Submit to Google Bookmarks Submit to Stumbleupon Submit to Technorati Submit to Twitter Submit to LinkedIn Signing never to be implemeted agreements in Turkey/fileSigning never to be implemeted agreements in Turkey/file By: Sayid Madar Somalilandsun - Twenty two years after self-declared Independence and twelve years after the ratification of Somaliland's constitution by popular vote, the democratically elected Government of Somaliland (GoSL) headed by its fourth president Ahmed Siilanyo had finally been given the opportunity to open dialogue with the internationally accepted President of the Somali Federal Government (SFG), Hassan Sheikh. Talks were inevitable and have been highly anticipated by the Somaliland Govt and the citizens of Somaliland who finally have the opportunity to finalize the reality after waiting decades for a credible Government to be formed and acknowledged by the International community. Somaliland is considered a self-governing autonomous region of Somalia even though it was one half of the former Somali Republic which was formed by voluntary union of British-Somaliland and Italian-Somalia; this formation disbanded after the Somali Civil War which the Socialist Military dictator Siyad Barre was held responsible for the massacre of an estimated 75,000 Somalilanders. During my several visits to Somaliland, to this present day there are still vivid reminders of that period whether it's the memorial in Hargeisa of the MIG which desecrated Somaliland's capital Hargeisa to naturally occurring reminders such as bones appearing on the riverbank every time the rivers flow in both Gabiley & Hargeisa. These talks have the ability to provide a platform for acknowledgement of the atrocities as well as compelling the SFG to realise the reality on the ground. Turkey initiated the first round of talks between the two sides to 'open dialogue' in Ankara on April 13th. The talks concluded with a memorandum of understanding known as the 'Ankara Communiqué. The Ankara Communiqué consisted of seven points which both side agreed which can be viewed on the Turkey's Foreign Affairs website. Unfortunately the talks didn't yield results in terms of breakthroughs from both SFG and GoSL, this deadlock became evident when SFG authorised an airplane to land within Somaliland's territory breaking point seven of the Ankara Communiqué. This led to the GoSL grounding all UN flights in and out of the country. This issue was resolved July 7th – 9th 2013 in Istanbul which both parties held further talks to rectify the situation. An agreement was reached which was to create a joint-control body which manages both airspace based in Hargeisa however this was reneged by the SFG which discreetly signed another agreement with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The final talks was expected to take place in November however due to Political turmoil within the SFG which subsequently led to the ousting of its PM Saciid Shirdon, the talks were delayed on several occasions. Somaliland's FM Mohammed Bihi Younis who was the former Deputy Joint Special Representative for UNAMID in Darfur emphasized during an interview with a Somali news outlet that "... Somaliland is ready and has been ready for a while" reiterating that the conclusion of the talks will be "Somaliland and Somalia living side by side as neighbours and brothers as two countries as it has been over the last two decades." On the other hand, the SFG's President Hassan Sheikh proclaimed "We will do our best and unite with our brothers from Somaliland by early next year." In my view, this proclamation by President Hassan isn't just reckless, but almost borderline delusional as it is completely devoid of the reality on the ground in Somaliland. President Hassan has set the bar very high for himself which he'll soon realise. Somaliland unlike Somalia has stability which many argue is down to democracy. I agree to an extent that democracy is a factor which ensures a sense of national unity, participation and representation. The idea that Somalilanders will reunite again with Somalia to form another Somali Republic is a dream held closely by Somali Nationalists that are predominantly located within former Italia-Somalia who aspire to reunite all Somali speaking regions whether it's within Ethiopia, Kenya, Somaliland or Djibouti. Their arguments tend to be incompatible with the concept of democracy as they strongly feel there shouldn't be a choice. They believe there should be one Somali speaking country irrespective of freedom and choices. FM Behi Younis with Ban Ki MoonFM Behi Younis with Ban Ki Moon To understand the difficulty of a reunion with Somalia, I will address some hypothetical situations. Let's say for argument sake the GoSL agrees to reunite with Somalia to re-establish the Somali Republic again, this agreement would have to clear a few hurdles and acknowledge that:

Thailand bangkok is nice , but some areas are full of rats.

The details are not important he said Somaliland opposition figures were arrested , this is false they were never arrested they were prevented from entering cities. This gaal is telling lies because Somaliland rejected UNSOM political office. The Somaliland government is right to put him and his likes in their place. Another misstep and he should be banned from Somaliland altogether. Somaliland should play hard ball with these UN bureaucrats i applaud the SL government for standing against these crooks. Just like in the 90s when stevenson UN representative at that time insulted Somaliland Cigaal told him i dont have many prisons but i will lock you in my dungeon, if i ever see you again in Somaliland. Gaalkaan Nickolas la baxay should know his place this is not Somalia.

I think he was talking about Jamaal?

Co cooperation comes when there is common understanding and relations between the countries entities and regions, it will take decades for Somalis to evolve in a social sense there is some understanding. Somalis do not have the perception that they are destined to cooperate for the larger good atleast not the elites nor do they believe their interests are intertwined. The War has ripped apart the once so homogeneous society there is a disastrous tribal war going on in the lower shabelle as we are speaking. Allot of soul searching need to happen for Somalis to sing together by the way they might sing together but they dont mean it.

Samafal its easier to bring down the wall between the Somali weyn clans:D Somali diid is a wrong phenomenon no one has monopoly over this Somali identity. Unless you believe the cambuulo eating Muqdishaawis and the Pirates in Eyl they have monopoly over the word Somali. Than perhaps you are maybe right since every negative association in the media reflects them Black Hawkd down and Captan Philips:D

Business wise or politically?

Alshabaab still reaches Mogadishu and its still breaches through the Amisom walls and carries out deadly attacks inside the city. And they still can do it with more than 20.000 African union troops in and around Mogadishu. The Somali government cannot wait longer they need to build a new government and get a new interior and defense minister and better intelligence officers.

Inkastoo aysan dowladda Soomaaliya ka hadlin haddana xaaladda ayaa ah saakay mid daggan, waxaana ciidamada dowladdu ay baaritaanno kawadaan xaafadaha ku dhow halka uu dagaalku ka dhacay. Sidoo kale, qarax xooggan ayaa waxaa xalay lala beegsaday ciidammo ka tirsan kuwa dowladda, iyadoo la sheegay in qaraxan ay ku dhinteen in ka badan laba askari oo ka tirsan ciidamada dowladda. Weerarradan kala duwan ayaa waxay kusoo beegmayaa xilli maalmo ka hor uu magacaabay madaxweynaha Soomaaliya ra’iisul wasaare cusub oo lagu wado inuu dhawaan xilka kala wareego ra’iisul wasaarihii hore ee Somalia. Magaalada Muqdisho ayaa waxaa labadii sano ee ugu dambeeyay tan iyo markii ay Al-shabaab isaga baxday degmooyinka gobolka Banaadir ka dhacayay qaraxyo, weerarro iyo dilal qorsheysan oo ay geysanayaan xoogag taabacsan Al-shabaab. Xukuumaddii hore ee Soomaaliya ayaa waxay dhowr jeer sheegtay inay ka hortagtay weerarro ay maleegayeen xoogag taabacsan Al-shabaab oo dhowr saldhig ku lahaa Muqdisho.

Somaliland: Waran’ade Urges UNSOM Chief to Tread Carefully E-mail Sunday, 15 December 2013 00:21 By: Yusuf M Hasan Somalilandsun – The UN Special representative to Somaliland and Somalia should stop falsifying facts on the ground during reports to the United Nations Security Council-UNSC. According to the Somaliland interior minister Ali Mohamed Waran'ade the quarterly report presented to the UNSC by Ambassador Nicholas Kay the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) on the 10th December 2013 to the prevailing political status in Somaliland was false and lacked basis thus totally misleading. In his lengthily multi- page report in which he preserved only a paragraph to Somaliland Amb Kay informed the UNSC, "In Somaliland, differences have developed between the Government and the opposition. Opposition figures, including the Speaker of Somaliland's Parliament, Abdurahman Irro, have on occasion been arrested or prevented from travelling. We shall keep watch on the situation in Somaliland, which is heading into general elections in 2015. But since Somaliland continues to reject UNSOM's mandate, our operations there remain on hold" In an interview contacted through Telephone by Dawan media group Minister Waran'ade who is in the UK on official duties said that the Republic of Somaliland, its authorities and citizens are very much concerned by the false information Amb Kay is banding around. "To my better informed knowledge there have been no arrests of senior politicians in the country let alone that of the Honourable speaker of Somaliland parliament Abdirahman Irro as purported by the very uninformed Amb Kay and his UNSOM" said Waran'ade As he acknowledged that the presidential hopeful of opposition political party UCID Jamal Ali Hussein was barred from holding a function in Gabile town, the interior minister said that though he was abroad during the incident his officers prevented the UCID hopeful because he was intent on conducting election campaigns without a permit not to mention that presidential elections shall be held in 2015. Revealing that the administration shall pursue avenues of garnering knowledge from UNSOM on how it attained its very erroneous information on the prevailing political situation which it UNSOM and he Amb Kay "shall keep watch as the country heads into General elections in 2015", Waran'ade urged restraint on the UN body as pertains to insinuations geared towards tarnishing Somaliland's achievements and sovereignty. Since assuming office as replacement of Ambassador Augustine Mahiga, Nicholas Kay has been at loggerheads with the administration of president Ahmed Mahmud Silanyo of Somaliland which denied Kay's UNSOM an operational Base in Hargeisa after arguing that the UNSOM mandate was entirely Somalia related thence nothing to do with Somaliland. Somaliland which withdrew from its 1960 voluntary later turned ugly union with Somalia in 1991 following a brutal civil war with forces loyal to Dictator Siad Barre in which over 60,000 somalilanders were butchered continues to thrive for international recognition while its former partner Somalia continues to thrive in shambles and anarchy. Though Somaliland has become a model for other third world countries through its apt democratization process that has seen two presidential and local council elections and one parliamentary conducted peacefully to international acclaim not to mention attaining peace and security in the very turbulent Horn region Amb Kay in his vengeance against refusal of his UNSOM base in the country continues to lump Somaliland with other regional administrations of the Somalia. In his December 10 briefing to the UNSC Amb Kay outlined his four phased immediate plan of action namely "First the need for wide-ranging national and local reconciliation; secondly, a redrawing of Somalia's political map of eighteen regions into a lesser number of federal member states; thirdly, the finalizing of a new and permanent constitution; and fourthly, democratic elections in all Somalia in 2016 (the first for nearly 50 years)" The ambassador's venom against Somaliland is visibly clear he, having informed on plans to redraw the political map of Somalia as pertains to the "18 regions" a clear reference to the number of regions including the five from Somaliland (North west, Sanaag, Sool, Toghdeer and Awdal) that together with 13 from Italian Somalia were foundations of the collapsed Republic of Somalia. A Further Kay reprisal against president Silanyo's refusal to facilitate UNSOM operational base in Somaliland can be discerned by his indication that his forthcoming four pronged plan for Somalia is in partnership with the weak internationally propped government in Mogadishu. Knowing clearly the irrevocability of Somaliland's sovereignty and the abhorrence of its citizens on insinuations that their affairs are not actually controlled in Hargeisa their capital city but in the Terrorists infested Mogadishu Ambassador Nicholas Kay reported to the UNSC, "On each of these tasks, the UN is actively and increasingly engaged in support of the Federal Government and in close collaboration with member states" While the statement by Somaliland interior minister Ali Waran'ade has seemingly placed the enormous task of proving his false reports to the UNSC, it remains a matter of national importance that Amb Kay be put to task for relevant evidence and in lieu an official apology just as Mahiga his predecessor did following insinuations that Somaliland was a region of Somalia.
