is this a message to Mr Buhuku Bahaka the leader of Amisom forces in Somalia

Let us get some preliminaries out of the way. These days it is very common to present democracy as a value of western civilization and proselytize it as such. Some of us, therefore, reject it and thereby throw the baby out with the bath water. On the contrary, democracy is a human experimentation and arises out of the human condition. Thus while its forms and expressions may vary according to time and place the essential content points to the same need of justice and participation in decision-making. We have seen how our nomadic culture had an essential democratic content. The same is true of sedentary African traditions. We must remember that the phenomenon of a single all powerful dictator relying on military or a one-party machine is a post-colonial product. The typical African chief could ignore the advice of the tribal council only at his own peril. Moreover, there is the other tendency of juxtaposing Islam and democracy as opposing tenants. We Muslims know better. We know that the achievement of justice (Al-‘Adala) and decision-making in common (shuura) are important components of Islam. Let us remember a moment in the ‘sirat’ of the prophet (peace be upon him) when the Muslims were defeated the prophet (PBUH) himself was wounded. It was a moment of frustration, confusion and despondency. The following verse of the Quran was then revealed. And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been sever and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over their faults and ask Allah’s Forgiveness for them; and consults them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly Allah loves those who put their trust in Him.” (Al ‘Imran 159) Here we have in a nutshell the essentials of democratic governance: tolerance, magnanimity, dialogue, consistency, after the dialogue, in the rule of Law. The practical application of these principles is subject to ‘Al-Ijtihad’—which is the process of research and experimentation subject to time and place. The primary task now is to consolidate the achievements, correct the shortcomings and move foreword. The broad view is to recognize the indivisible three-dimensional nature of our democracy: Somali tradition, Islamic faith, and the requirements of a modern state. If in 1993, the swing of the pendulum shifted to the extremity of relying solely on the traditional side, we should now avoid the other extremity of unutilizing traditional leadership. The heavy cost of zigzags can be avoided with the help of foresight. That is why the election of the Guurti according to universal suffrage will be a step backward. The Guurti then will no longer be a Guurti , but a replication of the House of Representatives. The implementation of the constitutional requirement of the election of the Guurti while keeping its essence as representing traditional leadership is the critical issue before us now. This cannot be resolved through the present Guurti handling its own judgment of itself. This would be a travesty of justice. The issue should be as was our custom, resolved through debate and compromise, and then a special law passed as required by the constitution. Resolving this, however, does not mean that our road to democratic construction is completed. The meaning of democracy is not confined to the election of bodies and persons who would rule (or misrule) us for a number of years. This is only the skeleton, which we have to clothe with flesh and breathe life into it. To be effective in the long run, that is to say constant with development and freedom, our democracy has to also be participatory and transparent. To ensure this requires , in addition to the independence of the judiciary and the media, a full decentralization , internal democracy of the political parties and autonomous professional and non-governmental bodies. Let us look at some of these in turn. With major decision-making in the center leads to lopsided development. This is a curse in Third Word countries. We already see the beginning of that tendency in Somaliland with Hargeisa towering over the rest of the country. This is not the fault of the people of Hargeisa or a deliberate decision of the Central Government to favor Hargeisa. Uneven development is a systemic matter and must be fought systemically. It would be shameful if we replicate what we rebelled against. The genuine meaning of decentralization is clear: more power, decision-making and resources have to be devolved to the regions and localities. All persons holding positions of responsibility, aside from civil servants, have to be elected. This power to the regions and localities as well as their relationship with the center will have to be elaborated, after debate, in legislation. We have already taken some good steps in this direction which need to be more systemized. The political parties, whatever their number, must also be decentralized internally democratic. While each party is entitled to have its own rules, regulations and disciplinary measures, there are general matters that need to be legislated such as: membership rights, periodic elections at all levels and rules concerning them, the relationship between the center and the localities and legal procedures in case of disputes. Democracy at the party level is an essential building block of democracy at the national level at large. If members of the party are not able to elect their leaders (at all levels) freely and democratically, then national elections themselves would be tantamount to a farce. This is the responsibility of all present party activists, especially the leaders. Any party that blazes the way in this field (for we all know that this is something new to us) will not only be morally unassailable, but will be building its own future capacity to rule better. There are many other interlocking issues and factors involved in building a viable democratic society enshrined in the Islamic faith such as the role of economic organizations, professional and other autonomous bodies, morality, and education. These matters as well as foreign relations are not discussed here. Time and space do not allow me to do so. I hope others will. I simply concentrated on the dynamics of internal political development. It is clear that we are at a critical juncture. We have made good progress, despite some setbacks and gained a lot of experience. But, there is still a long way to go and many tasks ahead. I have tried to show what some of these tasks are within the context of our history, culture and faith. The reconciliation, peace and stability, of which we are so proud can be in danger unless they are continuously nurtured and made permanent. This will be difficult if we are unable to deliver the goods in terms of good governance and development. I am confident that with perseverance, tolerance and cooperation, success will be ours. And we have the opportunity to succeed. But if, God forbid, we fail this historical duty then future generations will have to shoulder it, for life’s struggles continue. But, then remember, history will judge us very harshly.

Another point which I want to underline here is the political role of the Guurti. In some discussions of this topic one gets the feeling that the Guurti suddenly mushroomed in 1992, or rose to the occasion after the so called failure of SNM to rule . Aside from the moot point whether a two-year period is sufficient enough time for judging failure or success, let me make an important reminder in history. The political role of the Guurti is one of the most fruitful experimentations of SNM. Some crucial questions presented themselves early on in the struggle: First, how to deal with the issue of clanism during the nation-building in the future; Secondly, how to spread the intended democratic practice beyond the SNM committees and its activists to the supporting population at large. We all recall that during the struggle for independence from colonial rule our clan heritage (called then tribalism) was viewed as a backward anachronism to be cleansed from the structures, laws and norms of the modern stat-to-be. How a long surviving cultural institution can be suddenly discarded while alternative substitutes performing its useful functions have not yet evolved was not asked (if understood at all). An imported political and legal superstructure was therefore superimposed on the traditional substructure, to which the people ascribed in their behavior, attitudes and loyalty. We all know what that gave birth to: a society with a split personality which again gave birth to the Siad Barre dictatorship. To avoid a repetition of such a farcical tragedy obviously required an ability to bridge the modern and traditional. I.e. utilizing the best aspects of heritage while adopting to the new. How to minimize the negative aspects of the heritage is a continuous generational struggle. Therefore SNM, representing the nucleus of a modern political institution, and clan leadership had somehow to be brought together in a formal relationship-informal cooperation at the level of the local fighting unit was a must, anyway. First steps at formal organization of the Guurti in 1983 and again in 1985(I chaired the attempt in 1985) did not prove to be permanent, primarily because the effective clan leaders were inside the country, while we were guests in Ethiopia. This gap was filled in 1988 when a substantial majority of the populations of Hargeisa, Burao and Berbera crossed the border as refugees after the destruction of those cities by the regime during the full confrontation between it and the SNM forces. In that year, the elders of the supporting population held a conference in the village of Aderrosh and autonomously organized themselves in the present form of the Guurti . From then on the Guurti Committee attended, as observers, the meetings of the Central Committee of SNM, and vice versa. Thus began the formal co-existence and co-operation of the two sides of the struggle: the modern and the traditional. Finally at the Congress of SNM in 1990 the Guurti was promulgated a constitutional body. And this was the basis of our present bicameral parliament. But, history moves in zigzags. The actual realization of the vision after Liberation took a somewhat different path. The traditional side of the duality swallowed the modern side. This appears understandable considering the infancy of the modern side, the long-rooted skill of traditional leadership in conflict resolution, and the inevitable appearance of points of conflict in a destroyed post-war society. Thirteen years ago, I argued that this dominance of the traditional side is not a sin if meets the requirement of peaceful conflict resolution. I also predicted that, since dependence on traditional leadership is only a partial solution and is not a substitute for a mature political evolution, the modern aspect of the duality will be revived in due time. That is how we arrived where we are today. We have certainly come out of the tunnel, but we are not out of the woods yet. This is therefore another occasion to roughly outline a vision that will help guide our actions in the future. Let me say clearly that there is nothing original in what follows because they represent our aspirations. Many of the following points have been made elsewhere by many others. But ,it is useful to reiterate them in a summary way at this stage of our development. That we are on the road of building a ‘democratic ‘ society is our consensus. But, what do we mean by that?

Beyond The Tunnel: The Democratic Practice in Somaliland and its Future ... Latest Paper Just before his death Professor: Ibrahim Maygag Samater Somaliland has been practicing democracy in various different forms for the last fifteen years. It can be said that the first phase of democratic practice in Somaliland was based on clan consensus. The different clans resident in the country selected, according to their own methodology, includes the elders who would represent them in the several national conferences that were held for different purposes such as peace and reconciliation, the political future destiny of the country, or appointing further representatives in future working bodies like the Guurti, the House of Representatives, and members of the Government. Certainly, the system in this phase was not fully democratic. All the clans were not represented. Some, like the Gabooye and other minority clans, slipped through the net without deliberate intention to block them out. Needless to say the patriarchal process totally excluded women. Even some of the clans who were represented may not have been fully satisfied with the system either because they wanted a larger share or the internal distribution of the share itself was considered unfair, and obviously the population at large had no voting rights. Yet, it could not be called a despotic system. It was not a military dictatorship ala Siad Barre. The Somali National Movement (SNM) did not behave as a one-party dictatorship, as happened with many armed liberation movements after attaining power; nor was it organized as such. The system also was not a majority clan denying others their rights, as so many have falsely accused the ***** of doing. This false accusation was exposed by the 1993 Boramo conference where the ********, who were not SNM supporters, played the honorable role of the mediating host. Despite these anomalies the system in this phase can still be described as democratic because it somehow provided a channel for public opinion to be expressed. In difficult circumstances, the people of Somaliland tapped into the traditional culture of the nomadic system-what the anthropologist I. M.Lewis called pastoral democracy. Most people did not see the imposition of the nomadic system on a modern state as a viable alternative in the long run. They saw it for what it was, a transitional phase. Today, we can safely say that we have passed that phase with a good grade. A constitution has been drafted, debated and approved in a referendum. Local, presidential , and parliamentary elections have taken place. These elections were not without their faults and defects whether in the planning or execution stages. But, considering our conditions: meager resources, a country whose cities, physical and social infrastructure had been destroyed by a protracted war; a sizeable section of the educated able young people spread abroad in the Diaspora; and just emerging from the most recent armed civil conflict. Considering these conditions, we have indeed done well. Many countries, which did not suffer these traumas, and which receive more assistance than we do, are unable to accomplish as much. This has been attested to by objective foreign observers. But, this is no reason to rest on our laurels. This second phase is also transitional and incomplete (I will have more to say about the Guurti later on). Some of us maybe as proud of these achievements as to forget the shortcomings and dangers ahead. Others may brood on the defects to the point of gloomy hopelessness. Both these tendencies have to be avoided. The glass is both half-empty and half-full. What is required is a sober summing up of our situation: where we are, how we arrived here, and a vision of the f untrue we hope for, and how to get there. This is a task facing us all, collectively and individually. Allow me to make my modest contribution to that endeavor. One relevant question is why was it possible for the people of Somaliland to reconcile, lick their wounds and go forward while the brothers in Somalia got enmeshed in a vicious cycle of unending fratricide? I do not claim to have satisfactory answers. Several points, however, come to mind. For one thing the dominance of foreign players in the affairs of Somalia, and the lack of it in Somaliland, could be a factor. How many foreign players have an axe to grind and are totally altruistic? It is an ABC of politics that every power primarily pursues its own interest. Diplomatic arrangements, agreements and political solutions are in a sense, the result of these interactive interests. But, when foreign players do not have a national entity, no matter how poorly organized , as their bargaining counterpart, but instead are facing a melee of factions, clans, warlords (call them what you will) competing for their favor, it is difficult to see a viable national solution as a result of such a process. Even the UN has its own implicitly built-in bureaucratic agenda that has to be confronted by an entity representing the national interest. In such exceptional circumstance the absence of foreign players, at least for a short while, is a blessing. Secondly, the different colonial experiences may have some relevance. Every colonial experience has a stunting effect on the psyche, personality and structure of the colonized society. But, there may be a difference of degree and not of kind here. The tendency of British imperialism to employ what it called indirect rule may have had a different effect on the structure of society from the practice of Italian fascism. There is no doubt that the employment of community elders by the colonial authorities as tool of their rule had a distorting nature. Yet, we can now see with hindsight, the co-opted elders not only kept some semblance of their leadership, but also formed buffer strata between the colonial authorities and their people. It was through their mediation that the colonial authorities could gauge the impact of their intended laws and measure on the society-and the level of acceptance or resistance-and therefore had an opportunity to modify such rules and measures. In that role the elders performed some protection-no matter how partial-for their people, their culture, religion and their way of doing things. That is why the later emergent groups in urban areas-such as businessmen, school graduates, and politicians-could not totally replace the moral authority of the traditional clan elders. Contrast this with the practice of Italian fascism-and the later Italian rule under the UN Trusteeship which ignored and undermined the traditional leadership. Is it any wonder that, after the failure of the post-colonial state, the people of Somaliland had something to fall back on while those in Somalia ran amok? Finally, and I think this is the most important, the third factor accounting for the difference is the experience gained by SNM during the liberation struggle. Thirteen years ago, I presented a paper at a Somali Studies Association entitled “Light at the End of the Tunnel: Some Reflections on the Experience of the Somali National Movement.” Without repeating what I said then, let me emphasize a few points relevant to our discussion here. I predicted then that Somaliland will with some ups and downs of course, accomplish the tasks of reconciliation, reconstruction and the movement forward toward democratic governance. The basis of my argument was that the qualities required for the accomplishment of such tasks namely compromise through dialogue, power-sharing, self-reliance and resilience during adversity-had already been tested and practiced by the SNM during the liberation struggle. It was a matter of extending the gained experience to the level of Somaliland. We, in SNM, have been accused on various occasions by both some supporters and opponents of just riding the wave of the armed struggle without a guiding vision. I must admit that I never understood that accusation. Were the accusers looking for some kind of ideological brand or so-called charismatic leadership shining over the rest of the movement? Were thy disappointed by the apparent weak discipline among the ranks and the porous nature of SNM? Let me remind you, lest it is forgotten, that we were struggling for a democratic rule against a venal dictatorship and the ********* of so-called charismatic leadership. The regime has imposed a borrowed ideology on the people and we had no intention of repeating that suffocating terror. The weak discipline itself was the price one has to pay for democratic dialogue. All decisions-from top to bottom and in the branches abroad-were made according to the rules of democratic discussion and majority voting. Hence the porous nature of our organization. Imagine the situation if a movement with a particular ideology and ruling with an iron first took power in Somaliland in 1991. The result would have been one of two situations: either SNM imposing its own kind of dictatorship, or in case we failed to do so, a free-for-all chaotic conflict as happened in the South (Somalia). I am glad to say that we knew better.

Puntland officials arrest SSC Terrorist Commander GALKAYO — Puntland Security personnel arrested SSC terrorist commander Yasin Ali Tamaad in the central Somali town of Galkayo where he was a transit on his way back from Mogadishu. Yasin Tamaad is in charge of the military wing of the terrorist group Sool Sanaag and Cayan (SSC) and in the recent days has verbally threatened to attack Somaliland forces when he comes back to the region. Puntland Security forces arrested Tamaad after he got off a flight from Mogadishu in which he is suspected of receiving funds and weapons from the weak Transition Federal Government of Mogadishu. He was in Mogadishu last several weeks holding talks with members of the TFG and Al Shabab in Mogadishu to solicit funds and weapons. SSC terrorist group has been battling a guerilla war with Somaliland forces in the past few months and now that the government of Puntland is not in good terms with the weak TFG government of Mogadishu, SSC is seen a threat to Puntland as well. SSC is considered a terrorist group by both Somaliland and Puntland governments.
