Waar maad iskadeysaan Garaadka hadday neeftu kasoobaxday. War garaad intaad reer dhahareed uhambalyenaysid maad horta Yagoori xoreysid? As i Said before: I beleve that the defeat is upon All somalis In general, and the victors are those that Set one somali against another and still dictate when to attack and when to retreat.

Saxb you seems to have a mindset and nothing can change that from unless you come-up with genuine intentions and arguments. You are talking of Defeat and I dont know how you define defeat in this case. For one the Somaliland army did not retreat in the midst of the skirmishes. Puntland melitias attacked and were repulsed.As reported by many media outlets everything was calm when Somaliland Army decided to retreat. Refer to the reasons in my previous post. so sxb Come up with rational argument. Lastly i dont buy to your defeat that defeat this. I belive that The defeat is upon all Somalis in general, while the victors are the ones that have the power to set One somali against the other and still dictate when to attack and when to retreat.

Mr. Allamagan Take it easy sxb meesha hakuxiiqin. Odaygii taariq uu katagay madaxweyne uu ahaa, markaa waalagahadli wixii ugeyste wanaag iyo xumaanba. I believe that Xiin argued rationally and i totally agree with him. If only the folks like ME would argue in that manner, alot could have been changed. But Cuqdadda kujirta aa ka baawar weyn maxaa lagayeeli dee, we have no choice but just let him to release his tensions and Bark hard online. Otherwise i would have suggested that he sees some therapist, ilayn waxani soomali jacayl kawayn, may be he is suffering from SNM Trauma. Otherwise folks Lets come up with healthy debate wadankii wuxuu noqdoba somalia,Puntland and also Somaliland Cadaw ayuu ugacan galay hadda maxaa lagayeeli.

Red Sea, I have read with interest and humour your defense of the defeat of the Somaliland forces in Dhahar, what is your excuse now after this bombshell coming from the horse's mouth? Saxb there was no defeat but a tactical retreat. Read well what the Minister had to say. In both confrontations they came out succesfully. The retreat was inevitable as the raayale administartion was presured from Addis ababa, so inorder to sabbotage the whole operation the administartion Blocke further reinforcemments and supplies to the warzone. Although this minister Made the best move i think he should have known better before taking the initative too far. Anyways iam glad that bloody war was avoided and the Somalilanders Political awakening in the region is now essential more than ever.

AY's government is already failed & those so-called "muqawamo" know nothing about why and for what cause they fighting for? different groups and different interests with no defined goals and strategy. Somalia is a doomed cauntry. Tragic! Thats not true sxb. Every party that is involved in the somali war has a special goal. ETHIOPIANS: have their goal of Annexing the whole region A/Y: Has his goal of using the Ethiopians and have His Close Clansmen Monarch rule even if as a puppet. THE MUQAAWAMA: have their goal of fighting the Accupation and bringing back the Rule of law that was Being enjoyed by many untill the Invasion. Now Tell me sxb WHATS YOUR GOAL. You have to share the goals of one out of this three.

Badda cas i know they are both outrageous the other day i read some website fom somaliland and i was amazed how they got mixed up and in the news details they talked of Daroor instead of dhahar. How unprofessional?. The other one just look at this.

Afqudhac ayaa waxa uu sheegay inay dagaaladaas dabada ka wadaan dawlado shisheye kuwaas oo aanu magacaabin, "Ma aha cidda la soo weeraray madaxweynwaynahayaga, kuxigeenka oo aniga ah iyo dawalada Puntland, laakiin waxaa la doonayaa in la burbuiryo waa umada Puntland" ayuu yidhi Afqudhac oo hadalkiisa sii wata.

Laakiin Somaliland Dhahar maxaa loogu sheegay horta? war meesha dheeman aa lagusheegay miyaa. Horta ciidamadii cadde muuse meesha kaeryay meeye, Raayale mayiskaqabtaan?

The questions by MR. Me seems to be heavly laden by a shadow Of Cuqdad. And when i usually see questions bearing that a big load of hatred, id rather decline to answear. Its known that you can take a donkey to the river but never would you force it to drink from it. So saaxibayaal you may all write here trying to reason with Me but cuqdad is so deep that he will never let go.

Well said Chegue-vara . So whats the solution to this?.

Another set of events are said to be unfolding in the Sanaag region again. Somaliland troops are said to be in Biyaguduud, near Xingalool, and marching on their way to dhahar. The Puntland troops are said to be in Baraagaha Qol, near Dhahar. Alas! there is no one wiseman in their midst to foresee the evident consequences of such a clash! Sad Development if its true. But wait i thought Puntland army was near ceerigabo and ppl from ceerigaabo were beging for the mercy of daraawish/dhafoorqiiq, not to attack.

Wasiirkii hore gaashaandhiga dawladii dhexe Soomaaliya max’ed Cali Samatar What in the world is going on Whats going on kulahaa. Mar haddii Morganba chago loomagacaabay why aad cali smatar ugudiidaysaa.

Alot of people were saying they would vote for him, but I think most of them migh have changed their mind about that already Raayale knows well that his chances of coming back are slim. But am sure he will use all means posible to stay in power. In this case he was aware of the cosequences but he chose to obey The ethiopian orders.In return he must have been assured of his stay in power, by Emporer Bush Apointed regional overseer and power broker, Meles Zenawi.

17 April, 2007 SOMALIA, ONCE A PROUD AND INDEPENDENT NATION CEASSED TO EXIST Once again we are witnessing genocide and clan cleansing that is underway in another African nation, Somalia, by another African nation, Ethiopia and approved by the UN, AU. The Ethiopian army supported by their stooges, the TFG (Tigre Founded Government) has leveled 5 districts of Mogadishu by bombarding with heavy field artillery and rockets. Somalia a nation once proud, independent and in the forefronts of the wars of liberation movements (ANC, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Angola and of course Eretria) in Africa, has became the first African nation to succumb to the forces of neo-colonization in the 21st century. Welcome to the "NEW WORLD ORDER". When I think of the qualities, skills, integrity, and patriotism of the current illegal TFG leaders in Somalia, I wonder if this is by accident, by design or a divine punishment/curse from the higher up. When one sees actions taken and hears speeches given by the TFG officials, one remembers the events preceded the Rwanda massacres of 1994. In fact the international community found out the radio broadcasts of the Hutu hates mongers much later after the massacres had taken place. Here in Mogadishu, the president himself has given interviews in advance to many media outlets including the VOA, and clearly stated that he will order the bombardment of any district in Mogadishu that a single bullet is fired at them regardless of the civilian population and any casualty that might bring. In order to evaluate these quislings I revisited a book that I read 25 years ago. The book is written by an American who extensively traveled to Somalia in the early years of its independence and had spoken with many Somali law makers and interviewed both the first president and prime minister of the young nation. Here is how an American who visited Somalia first in 1961 narrated his experience. It was the first anniversary of independence, July 1, 1961. As he put it, it was the first step toward the union of all the territories Somalis claim. NFD still remained in British Kenya, Djibouti was under the French and there was the large problem of western Somalia (known as ******). The author (A.E. Bayne) observed that the problem of unfinished nation was the theme of the birthday (July 1, 1961) celebration, and the politicians of the new state vied with one another in their enthusiasm. The author, continued and stated Mogadishu was decorated with arches, flags, and banners and its walls were colored with slogans in English, Italian and Arabic ("Viva Somalia" "STRONG AND INDEPENDENT" "Somalia e libera!" and similar slogans in Arabic). The most moving part of that book is when the author writes about the disenfranchisement of the northern body of political leaders. And despite the rift that immerged the unity of the nation was strong and unquestionable and the ideals of unified Somalia were central to all faction. And to day, in comparison we have self appointed leaders who are forcing the people of Mogadishu to carry water and milk for the Ethiopian soldiers, while these very people have neither water nor milk for their children. Or may be what they mean is since we massacred your children bring their milk to us. The author discussed the above mentioned Somali political crises with the then president of the young nations Hon. Aden Abdullah Osman. Here is how it went. Q. Bayne: What is your estimate of the Somali National League? A. Aden A. Osman: There has always been an opposition to SYL, but this has grown since two ministers with the support of people in the north left the government. We won't know how strong this group is until the next elections. I am opposed to having only one party, and I asked my government and the party to determine whether to recognize this new political party. Q. Bayne: How does a president of Somalia use his power in the case of protest? A. Aden A. Osman: I encourage individual or groups protests to be sent to me. As they arrive , I pass the complaints on to the prime Minister to investigate and to provide my office ( the president's office ) with the facts of the situation. If the government's reply is incomplete, or unsatisfactory, I request that reforms be made. Q. Bayne: Could your request for reform be better termed as Order? "The president smiled; he has an easily stimulated but gentle sense of humor". A. Aden A. Osman: Since I can ask a prime minister to resign, my requests are usually followed! Q. Bayne: Is your suggestion of a coalition between SYL and SNL in the form of a request? A. Aden A. Osman: Not yet. The author stated that, the president's hope that the democratic national unity, transcending factional difference, would come out of the domestic political differences had not yet been put in the form of an authoritative request. Aden A. Osman, continued, "But I believe in multiparty system, not too many parties, of course. We are planning a law that will require political groups to be responsible and not just personal following or temporary interest groups. But I am serious about this- a single party system gives too much temptation for the development of a one man on a horse who might want to become a dictator". Q. Bayne: Will the Army elite cast their shadow of military-power if the civil leaders fail to achieve a reasonable progress toward the fulfillment of the national aspiration (United Somalia). A. Aden A. Osman: "We would do our best to prevent military dictatorship or Communism In another interview with author in February 1964 Aden remarked that It seems to him the US and the west are pushing Somalia into the Communist hands (to day the US and the west are pushing Somalia to another extreme). The author concluded the interview with this. "His (Aden A. Osman's) final comment was heartening in a continent of Caesars and tempted elites" Here is Hon. Aden A. Osman's final comment: "This dictator would never be Aden Abdullah, but it might be someone who came after me" When the USA, at insistence of Emperor Haile, refused to supply arms to Somalia in the fall of 1962, the then prime minister Abdirashiid Ali Sharmarke has to say when the author asked if Somalia was seeking weapons from Russia and the eastern block. "When we failed to get the aid we felt we needed from the west, we have no other choice but to turn to Russia. "Our Problem is to unite this country and this makes the border problem critical". "Our People are behind us in this, and the masses are getting an unfriendly idea of the United States of America because you don't help us, yet you help Ethiopia" This a political issue (******) the prime minister continued, We want, we must want, the land and the people. Somalis in Ethiopia are a subject people, and black colonialism is no better than white. Our people do not have equal rights with the Amharas. More than two hundred of them have been shot in the past two weeks and it continues (this is a far cry that what is happening now, to day it is not ******, it is MOGADISHU). The author in his conversion with the prime minister stated that it was clearly manifested that the Somali political elite was of one mind on the Ethiopia issue. That is both the government and the opposition (SYL and SNL). Ladies and Gentlemen: As you can see these men were the last true patriots that Somalia has ever had. Please reread the above section and compare the bolded text with the post-Aden Abdullah leadership. Today there is an illegitimate government in Somalia, a government, which is not recognized and supported by its own people. A government that raises million of dollars buys and stockpiles tons weapons to massacre and destroy the very people and country it took ought to protect and defend. As of today the government raised $42, 000, 000 and 20, 000 Ethiopian troops armed with tanks, helicopter gunships, MIG 23 bombers Suchio fighter jets, heavy artillery, armored personal carriers and Grad Sorok( or Katusha or BM as known) multi barreled rocket launchers. All these are in the name of fighting terrorisms. But in fact today in Mogadishu the terrorists are the TFG (Tigre Founded Government). To day Yusuf and his butcher in Mogadishu are working on the final solution of the people of Mogadishu. The final solution is first to bombard Mogadishu and depopulate by clan cleansing. It has already started and the lull in the fighting is merely a tactical by the Ethiopians and the TFG. In fact the Ethiopians are already reinforcing their troops from all directions. The major road linking the town of Beletweyn to Mogadishu is controlled by the Ethiopian army. On the coastal area the road connecting the coastal town of Adale to Mogadishu is owned by the Ethiopian Army supported by Tanks and armored personal carriers. Mogadishu is surrounded and it is matter of time when the bombardment resumed. Even worst the TFG and the clan fox hole of Puntland, believing that they will be cleansing Mogadishu of ****** clan fighters in few days, has started fresh strategic talks with the Ethiopians. Both Adde Musse, the quisling of Qarowe, and Yussuf met with Mr. Zenawi in early April and discussed the question of Somaliland. This is the big price for Ethiopia. Few days after Adde and Yussuf's returned, 4000 Ethiopian troops crossed the Somali-Ethiopian border onto Mudug region. Now these troops stretch from Buuhoodle to Dhahar west of Erigabo, Sanaag. The shots have already been fired. The conventional wisdom in Addis-Ababa and Vila Somalia is that once Mogadishu is secured, Somaliland can first be destabilized and then slowly taken region by region. What Ethiopia will gain from that Adventure is quite simple. Once Somaliland is invaded, Yusuf will elect a governor General and his preferred candidate is the butcher of Hargeisa, General Morgan. And Ethiopia will be rewarded a 5 mile corridor joining Ethiopia to the port of Ziala. In fact an internal Ethiopian Foreign ministry report had a historical claim on Zaila port. The irony in this tragedy is the fact that the UN in order to be relevant this time around has authorized the invasion of sovereign nation while the west has supported the invasion morally and financially. Often times we hear the claims made by the United States that the US is "deeply committed to upholding and enforcing UN Security Council resolutions! And yet again it paid and allowed Ethiopia to purchase weapons shipment worth $20M from North Korea. The Somali people have their Janjawid in the TFG, but this Janjawid instead of being condemned and alleged for war crimes are defended and encouraged to continue the massacres in the name of stabilizing Mogadishu. The first legal genocide approved by the UN and the AU is underway in full swing. Ethiopia has long sought the ownership of the coast of Banadir. For centuries the Ethiopian Emperors have collaborated with Europeans in the division of Africa among themselves and the present day Ethiopia is in fact the share that Ethiopia was awarded. The Oromo, Somalis, Afar, Eretria and many other minorities have their homeland given to Ethiopia. The international community has called the crises in Darfur a massive genocide. That is the government of Sudan indiscriminately killing its own people. The international community spearheaded by the west has played the racial card by giving the crises in Darfur a racial face where Arabs are killing dark skinned Africans. This is simply to stir up evil among the Africans. Africans have being killed, enslaved and oppressed in many democratic countries and that practice still continues. Therefore the questions begs, here in Somalia's case, why one genocide is evil and another of the same magnitude is a blessing and good riddance? To make matters worse the UN, AU, EU and the US have gathered East Africa's most notorious regimes as peace keepers. These are the war profiteers, rapists, murderers who oversaw the most gruesome human suffering in the history of Africa. In combat these nations' armies are not paid. They have to earn by the barrel of their guns. These are the countries that I call "THE COALLISION OF THE RENTED" These nations include Burundi, Kenya, Uganda and spear headed by Imperial power of the Axum. All these countries are ruled by tugs. They have different roles some contribute troops, some as Kenya offer the conspiracy headquarters and redention centers. Here is some of the crimesw committed in the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO by those nations' evil armies. The "Collision of the Rented", that is, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and now Burundi have among their ranks some of Africa's most murderous dictators. The Museveni of Uganda has ruled Uganda since 1986 and will do every thing to stay in power, change the constitution to run for presidency for the third time. In joining the "Collision of the Rented" he reasoned that Uganda's security is at risk because there is a huge influx of weapons from Somalia into the Karamoja region of Uganda. Uganda has been accused by the Human rights watch and the UN of committing crimes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Museveni, his family members and close associates have enriched themselves in the Diamond and gold loot in the DRC. The Ugandan army has been accused of carrying out severe human rights abuses on the civilian population in the north of that country. A UN Security Council expert panel reported extensive exploitation of the Congolese resources by Rwandans and Ugandans, acting in both public and private capacities, underlining the importance of economic motives for the war. In April of 2002 a UN panel of experts reported to Security Council that the governments of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi (welcome) were illegally exploiting the natural resources and other forms of wealth of the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). The Ethiopian regimes atrocities against its own people is summed up by Judge Tashale Aberra, who has defected to Britain: The Ethiopian government is responsible for killing tens of thousands of students and other critics. Aberra claimed that the Zenawi regime is as bad as Mengistu's. "The Mengistu regime killed and boasted about it. The Meles regime kills and asks ‘who killed?' and then sets up an inquiry commissions. Throughout the DRC conflict, millions of dollars worth of gold are smuggled out of the country each year some of it destined to Switzerland. The Swiss refining company, Metalor Technologies, bought gold from Uganda. Since Uganda has no gold reserves of its own this must be looted from DRC. A mining Engineer in the Durba gold mining region where the Ugandan army had been present has to say this: "The Ugandan army was responsible for the destruction of Gorumbwa gold mine. They started to mine the pillars. It was disorderly and very widespread. People were killed when the mines eventually collapsed. It was not their country so they don't care about destruction." In January 24, 2006 Richard Dicker, Director of Human Rights Watch made this statement prepared for the "Arria Formula Meeting":" We urge the security council in any resolution it adopts to call on the Ugandan authorities to investigate and, where appropriate, prosecute their own military personnel for abuses against civilians. To ensure stability in the long-term, Uganda should investigate all serious violation of international human rights and humanitarian law, regardless of the perpetrators, from the beginning of the conflict in 1986. Upon reading all these horrendous war crimes and human rights abuses committed by the Ugandan and Burundian army in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one will ask, why of all countries the UN, EU and the dysfunctional AU is sending these criminals to Somalia. As you can see it was about a year ago when the above report was prepared. Museveni is still Museveni he still runs some parts of Congo through his proxy local tribal militia. The Kenyan government, while maintaining friendly contact with UIC during the short period it ran Mogadishu and most of the south, was secretly laying its part of the plan to invade Somalia. Kenyan military was 10 km deep inside the Somali territory. It detained local nomads from both sides of the border and refugees fleeing the fighting including women and children and all of them were handed to the Ethiopian army and they were flown to secret prisons inside Ethiopia. The Mogadishu Oromo population has completely disappeared some of them were there for 30 years, since the 1977 Ethiopio-Somali war (****** War as is known). Ethiopia accused Eretria of supporting the UIC and claimed to have more the 2000 solders fighting alongside the UIC. However, no one has ever seen a single Eretria solder captured in the 5 day war. So simple is, in today's world, the naked pretext to invade sovereign nations. The TGF officials and many Somalis of all walks, when talking about cession of Somaliland strongly stress that Somalia is indivisible and that unity is sacred. Well I have a question for all of you: Who gave Somalia to Ethiopia in a Christmas Eve night? And what will you do to liberate Somalia from this historic defeat and humiliation? Ethiopia has never ever defeated a Somali army without external assistance or/and intervention. In the 15th century it was Portugal, in 1964 it was the west, in 1977 it was Warsaw pact army led by General Petrov and 17, 000 Cuban solders and now we know who is it. Why so many prominent Somalis who never hide their patriotism in their rhetoric have never uttered a word to condemn the Genocide in Mogadishu, most notably the Honorable Abdirazak Haji Hussein? I have not written about Somalia for about 10 years. I have written it off. This pas Friday, April 6, 2007 my daughter (7 yrs old) asked me so many questions about Somalia. Such as does Somalia has this or that? Or the kids in Somalia have this or that? My answers were simply yes or no. While exchanging these Q&As with my daughter my son (11 years old) who was standing by playing his Nintendo DS jumped into the conversation and ended it in a matter of a second by saying the following: "Somalia does not exist, Ethiopia owns it now". That was too painful to hear. But then I asked myself, isn't that the status quo in Mogadishu to day since the TFG can't call a cease fire; they take orders from the Ethiopian generals in Mogadishu. The Ethiopians are the ones who call the shots. They are the ones who negotiate the cease fires, reach agreements with the Mogadishu clan leaders. And I told him you are right son. What exactly does the TFG do in Mogadishu other than participating in the indiscriminate shelling and bombarding the people, their own people? Ethiopia is not here to save Somalia, Ethiopia is here to stay and colonize Somalia. Remember Syria in Lebanon?? Therefore, every Somali is obliged to liberate his country and join the freedom fighters. Ethiopia should leave Somalia with a bloody nose. We should also not let Somalia become a battle ground for others and their interest. "Somalia's struggle to form a government after 15 years of clan warfare is achieving success, thanks to partners in the horn of Africa region like Ethiopia and with the help from the UN, the AU and the United States" Ambassador Vicki Huddleston.

I got it Che. But its amazing that Eritreans were in xamar yesterday with UIC. Today they are in hargeysa with Somaliland. For sure i can see some clique among the somalis have mastered the arts dirty of politics.I dont know how long its gona go but the waters are being tested for now.

President Rayale And Puntland State Present The Biggest Threat To Somaliland; Not The UIC Dahir A. Jama — London, UK — 16 October, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rayale And Puntland, Not UIC, Present The Greatest Threat To SomalilandThe new developments in Somalia, in particular, the demise of the weak TFG and the rapid rise of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) present Somaliland with both political opportunities, which are advantageous to its cause, and security risks and threats that can impact on its stability. Yet the Somaliland administration has been very slow to react and formulate a policy. In fact in the very short period since June 2006 when the UIC captured Mogadishu and ousted the US backed warlords, the administration has adopted several conflicting and confusing positions in relation to the developments in Somalia and, in particular, the UIC. In the months that followed the capture of Mogadishu by the UIC, the administration's official stand was one of indifference, namely that the developments in Somalia did not concern her, since neither the TFG nor the UIC respected nor recognised the sovereignty of Somaliland. In recent days, however, there appears to have been a change in policy and the Somaliland administration has declared the UIC as state enemy number one. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in response to hostile comments made by a prominent UIC leader against Somaliland, announced that Somaliland views the comments as a declaration of war by the UIC on Somaliland. President Rayale for his part in a Press Release called for national unity ‘in the face of the threat from the UIC’ and proposed the formation of a committee to address the long standing dispute between the executive and legislature branch of government. And, just yesterday, 15.10.06 President Rayale’s official spokes person, Abdi Idris Duale, handed to the Media a ‘secret letter’ allegedly written by the head of UIC’s Shura Council, outlining operations to assassinate Somaliland President and other leading politicians. Not surprisingly, Somaliland’s own perky and energetic media did not want to be left behind in this venture and, in the later parts of the month of September and throughout this month has been running stories pertaining to UIC plots to destabilise Somaliland from within. One such report by a well known Somaliland daily newspaper concluded that there was a UIC plan in place to destabilise and destroy Somaliland from within; a proxy UIC operation involving well known Somaliland Clerics and Sheikhs taking up arms against and, overthrowing the Somaliland government. In other words, Somaliland Clerics who sympathise with or are supporters of the UIC taking up arms against the government and implementing Sharia in Somaliland, without the UIC ever setting foot in Somaliland. Very interesting stuff, indeed. This is/was Somaliland’s own ‘war on terror’, it appears. Once again, unfortunately, the Somaliland government, whether deliberate or ill advised, is misleading its citizens and failing in its duties to protect and preserve the sovereignty of the country. The focus on the UIC as the single biggest threat to Somaliland on the part of the government is, must be said, misleading and false. In fact, it is nothing more than a callous and calculated campaign to divert attention from the real issues and threats facing the country, today. Regrettably, the Somaliland media, or at least some sections of it, appear to be aiding the propagation of the government’s dangerous and disingenuous propaganda; unwittingly. The UIC does not present a threat to Somaliland, at least not in the short-term. It may and will present a threat in the long term, however. At present, the UIC has yet to take full control of Southern Somalia and consolidate its power and rule their. However, even after it has done so in Somalia, it would still need to address the Puntland authority, which is very hostile to its agenda, before it can present a threat to Somaliland. And by most experts’ analysis, it is not going to be a very easy tast to address the Puntland authority and get to Somaliland any time soon. In fact, the UIC may never get the opportunity to cross the border north towards Somaliland if the predicted show down between the UIC and the TFG materialises, which will engulf Somalia in a deadly and a prolonged civil war, involving, probably, regional powers. Now, in terms of the theory/report of the long hand of the UIC reaching Somaliland in the form of a proxy war via Somaliland Clerics taking up arms against the government. Admittedly there is a strong and organised religious movement in Somaliland. However, the above suggests the existence of terrorist-like training camps inside Somaliland territory (presumably Burco) where a well-armed group(s) of Somaliland Clerics are preparing a militia capable of fighting and defeating the might and power of the Somaliland army, which is not only ludicrous but extremely unlikely. If that was the case, anyway, one might ask, what is/was the government doing or has been doing while such military threat was being organised and formed inside its territory? In reality, the only threat the UIC presents to Somaliland at this moment in time is an ‘Oral threat’ - talking and threatening on the Media. This not to say, however, that it does not and will not present a threat to Somaliland in the future. It will and can but at this moment in time, it does not. In the short term, there are other more imminent and pressing threats that face Somaliland, which, if not addressed can seriously impact on its statehood and sovereignty. The first of such threat facing Somaliland today is the incompetent and farcical rule of the Rayale administration that is turning Somaliland slowly but surely into a lawless and chaotic one party state dictatorship. The constitutional crisis that is currently engulfing the country; the extension of the term of the Guurti which President Rayale unilaterally sanctioned in a decree, contrary to the constitution, which gives the power to extend the Guurti term the House of Representatives under article 19 is a case in point. This single act has brought the democratisation process of the country to a halt and set the two houses of legislature, Guurti and Wakiilo, against each other with the Wakiilo objecting to Rayale’s blatant violation of the law and the Guurti grateful to Rayale for their extension. The impact of this on Somaliland has been enormous., with the ability of the legislating branches to function and legislate severely undermined and damaged. The house of Parliament, the main legislating branch, whose members have been directly elected by the people, has seen its efforts at legislating undermined and sabotaged, by either Rayale or the un-elected guurti members, by overruling every bill they produce with the encouragement and tacit support of an ominous administration that has no respect for the rule of the law. As a result all-important national issues, such as health, defence and education matters remain undressed and the constitutional crisis continues to impact on the stability and functioning of the state. The second biggest threat facing Somaliland, today, is the threat presented by the Puntland militia that is occupying large parts of Somaliland territory. Although its been more than three years now since these territories were occupied by a militia loyal to Puntland; the government has not done anything tangible to address the issue. It has on two different occasions announced the formation of a Committee consisting of Parliamentarians, opposition parties and traditional leaders to advise the government on how best to resolve the issue. However, this has never materialised and the government to-date does not show any will or resolve to address the border issue; while the militia controlling the occupied territories, in the meantime, has consolidated its power and established national and local institutions in the Sool region and started tax collection. The occupation of these territories, it is crucial to stress, does not only present a military threat to Somaliland, in the form of the occupation; but it also presents the single biggest hurdle to Somaliland's recognition. For long, Anti-Somaliland campaigners have argued that any decision to recognise Somaliland will ignite the flames of a deadly civil war in the region. They state Somaliland, if granted recognition, will use force to coerce the people of Sool to be part of Somaliland and secure its borders, which it was unable to do thus-far. As a result, this will lead to a bloody and lengthy civil war, which will destabilize the entire region. Naturally, some countries buy into this argument and cite the border issue as the single most important issue standing in the way of recognition for Somaliland. The Ethiopian government which Somaliland accepted and viewed as an ally appears to be one of the main contributors to the current stalemate on the border issue, according to some. Ethiopia, which has close relations with both Puntland and Somaliland is pressurising Somaliland not to go to war with Puntland over the issue, its alleged. At the same time, Ethiopia is not forthcoming or presenting a diplomatic alternative, it is said. The end result of it: a country that does not exercise full control over its borders and thus unable to claim to have clearly demarcated and recognised borders, a pre-requisite for diplomatic recognition. Whatever the reason, be it Ethiopian pressure or Rayale incompetence or ulterior motives, as some argue, the issue does not only have detrimental effects on Somaliland’s ability to attain diplomatic recognition, but also on its security and stability, as afore-mentioned. Therefore, it’s amazing and beyond my understanding how Rayale and his administration, if they have the interests of the nation at heart, can prioritise the UIC threat, which is non-existent over the Puntland threat, which is real and present. This policy and Mr Rayale appear to be serving the national interests of Ethiopia and Abdullahi Yusuf more then the national interests of Somaliland. The gains for President Rayale in this are said to be personal and material. Be it as it may, its important that the media and legislature do not buy into the propaganda by Rayale and aid the propagation of the false enemy. Instead, let us urge Rayale and Co to lead us address the border issue, instead of calling us to arms against an enemy 10.000 miles away in Kismayo. Let us urge Rayale and his administration to get its act together and create a conducive and suitable environment for a national dialogue, before we can challenge on multiple fronts. And finally, let us, as citizens and a nation, get our priorities right and not allow Rayale and his incompetent servants to dismantle what little that is left of the country. At present time, President Rayale and Puntland present the biggest threat to Somaliland; Not the UIC.

nabadshe and jacaylbaro...come on guys, this would be a good opportunity to drop these secessionist idea's and choose for a peacefull coexistance in northern somalia. Lets stop this this cuqdad, no one will win in war, we all know how this will end a stale mate thats all. So lets save our energies and just relax. I Got your request Mr.Me. Unfortunately though it seems that you used two key Words that are totally disqualify your request. The two words are. SECCENIST: I dont know where you borowed that but i think most of those that use this have borrowed this term from the American civil war of which was More about ending Slavery thatn maintaining the union thus irelevant to this. With Somaliland its not about seceding but re-enstating its soverignity after a failed Union of which is clear to all that know somali History. I agree on that smalia is better off united but that is an illusion so far and you well know why. The other Word. CUQDAD: I think you are totally mispalcing this word because i see it the other way round. I mean to say this because, During The wars with the dictatorial regime Somalis fought against dictortorship but the regime succeeded in using the clan card and the ppl in northern somalia were affected by these wars, however In 1991 things were settled and administartion was set and the idea of reclaiming the once lost soverignity was discussed. THis worked well dispite few internal skirmishes, the northern regions proved resilient against Disintergration. Then came an Entity Calling itself Puntland in late 90's re-enacting settled differences while Using the Clan card Again inorder to refuse progress to Somaliland ppl.Unfortunately Some fell to this trap. With me i believe that those that dishonered the treaty of 1991 just because some clan based etity has been set next door, are the once harboring Cuqdad. I understand that the Somaliland ppl made a mistake by electing a fromer NSS officer to Highest post of the republic. But it was a democracy despite that his Mischevious political tactics will cost somaliland some setbacks, but beleive me sxb this will never hold back Somalilanders to achieve their Freedom and Liberty. The other thing is that we will never be a letdown to those that fell in previous battlefields.

Quote: originaly by Nayruus.[bBC Somali Section has just reported the head of SNM gang in Hargeisa Riyaale]. Get you facts right sxb Raayale is actually doing the work of dismantling SNM for you. If real SNM were in power Things would have been realy different by now. If this news is true then it makes me laugh wallhi. This Aadan Waqaf was always an Incompetent Person. And Its known that This adan waqaf has no power to Execute anything. All Powers lies with the Chief of Staff Nuux Taani. This was said by Former Defense minister who was also fired. So Raayale wanted to fire this minister thats why he started all this? now its becoming clear. Alot is to come, Lets just wait.

I believe this news is authentic. War Degdeg ah: Ciidamadii iyo Wasiiradii somaliland oo ka Soo baxay Dhahar iyo wararkale Warar deg dega oo aanu ka helnay magaalada Ceerigaabo ee xarunta gobolka Sanaag ayaa waxay sheegayaan in dhammaan ciidamadii iyo madaxdii ku sugnayd magaalada Dhahar ay ka soo baxeen saaka iyada oo aan illaa iminka la garanayn waxa sababay.

Waxaannu goor dhowayd la xidhiidhnay Afhayeenka madaxtooyada Somaliland isaga oo noo sheegay inaanay illaa iminka jirin wax qoraala oo ka soo baxay xukuumadda Somaliland loona fadhiyo arrintaa. Warar aan lagu kalsoonayn ayaa sheegaya inay weftigii Somaliland soo gaadheen goor dhowayd magaalada Xingalool iyada oo aan la hubin inay sii joogi doonaan iyo inay xagga ceerigaabo u soo dhaafi doonaan. Wixii wara kala soco Sanaagweb.com Author: Sanaagweb.com As i said before there is a hidden agenda to all this. Let Somaliland ppl see the blunders by this Raayale administration. How dare them send such an entourage of delagates to the area only to run away after few shots. All this administartion want is to create tension in order to postpone the coming elections. Now i dont know what they will say to Somaliland ppl after all this farce.

KENYAS MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FACT FINDING MISSION TO SOMALILAND Wednesday, 11 April 2007 KENYAS MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FACT FINDING MISSION TO SOMALILAND KENYAS MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FACT FINDING MISSION TO THE REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND 19TH -23RD DECEMBER 2006 MISSION REPORT AND POLICY BRIEF Introduction Somaliland is “Africa’s best kept secret” Prof. Iqbal Jhazbay University of South Africa During the Kenya Parliament’s Christmas recess in December 2006, members of the Kenyan Parliament received invitations from the House of Representatives of the Republic of Somaliland to visit their country for interaction and dialogue with Parliamentary Representatives of the people of Somaliland. This was to serve as an opportunity for reconnecting the historical bonds that have been in existence between the two sister nations and their peoples and founding a new basis with which to cement and strengthen new relations. It was above all a friendly invitation aimed at scaling up the already existing cooperation from the current levels between the Executive arms of Government and expanding the vistas of cooperation of the two esteemed institutions. For the Kenyan Parliamentarians, it was a moment of propitious pause to reflect and evaluate the prevailing political security and economic environment within Somaliland in view of the rapidly changing complex Somalia conflict which at the time of the visit was on the verge of exploding into an all out war in Southern Somalia. It was also a unique opportunity for Parliamentarians of both countries to establish new land marks for the future in the sphere of Parliamentary diplomacy. Indeed, perhaps the missing link in all the important and pivotal regional relations amongst the peoples of IGAD, has been the absence of relations amongst Parliamentarians in the region. In response to the friendly invitation of the Parliament of the Republic of Somaliland, Kenyan Parliamentarians embarked on rigorous consultations across party lines so as to respond appropriately and positively. This led to the constitution of the team that eventually undertook the mission. However, due to prior party arrangements, only a team of four members of Parliament led by Hon. Paul Muite, M.P for Kabete constituency, who also chairs the Parliamentary Committee on Administration of Justice and Constitutional Affairs travelled to Hargeisa, in the Republic of Somaliland. The other members of the delegation were: Hon. Peter Oloo Aringo, M.P and Vice-Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission of the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. Hon Abdulaziz Jim Choge, M.P for Aldai constituency and Member of Parliamentary Committee on the Administration of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Hon. Patrice Ezekiel Ivuti, M.P for Kitui South and Member of Parliamentary Committee on Security and Defence Hon. Adan Maalim Abdullahi, former M.P for Mandera West Constituency, and current treasurer of former Kenya Parliamentarians Association In addition, the Parliamentary team was accompanied by two distinguished East African professionals, one a Professor of Law Prof. David Obyara Anyoti (Uganda), and the other an economist Mr. Abdirahman Ismail (Kenya) who were familiar with Somaliland and the greater horn of Africa Region. The two experts provided the delegation with excellent professional, technical, protocol and interpretation back up. Prior to departure for Hargeisa, the parliamentary team through leader Hon. Paul Muite, MP issued a press release which was dispatched to all newsrooms in Nairobi in order to inform the Kenya general public and the world at large of the mission and the objectives of the fact finding mission to the Republic of Somaliland. The delegation while in transit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia sought audience with the officials of the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya who briefed the delegation on the state of things and the situation in the Horn of Africa region, where the Republic of Somaliland is situated. It also acquired the national flags and H. E. the President’s portrait to carry along with the team to the Republic of Somaliland. Objectives of the Fact Finding Mission The main objectives of the fact finding mission by the Kenyan Parliamentary team were: To courteously respond to the friendly invitation by the House of Representatives of the Somaliland Parliament as an affirmative gesture of goodwill and to engage and interact with Somaliland M.P`s as well as share experiences and expand and deepen the vistas of cooperation between them. To serve as a fact finding mission which would lead to collection, collation, and analysis and evaluation of the factual information on the situation in the Republic of Somaliland for use by various policy audiences in Kenya in guiding informed decision making about Somaliland’s quest for international recognition. To chart the course for the Kenyan Parliament to embark on the path of Parliamentary diplomacy which in essence should complement, assist and help guide the executive arm of Government in the adoption of a foreign policy that would be based on legitimate national strategic interests, be they security, defence, economic, commercial or other in conformity with national and international law. It is important to mention and highlight the fact that the mission took place just a few months after the visit to Kenya and other East and Central African states by the elected President of the Republic of Somaliland H.E Dahir Rayale Kahin who met and held discussions with H.E President Mwai Kibaki, and other leaders in the region. Somaliland’s Case for International Recognition Brief history Throughout the visit, the key message that emanated from the many audiences and multi-sector consultations was a strong case for international recognition of the Republic of Somaliland, enriched by vivid recounts of the Somaliland history. The Republic of Somaliland leadership narrated to the parliamentary delegation, the state of the country both under the British protectorate, the period of independence from British rule and the subsequent decision to voluntarily associate and enjoin with the South Somalia by the country’s patriots who had envisaged that such an action would precipitate economic and social development in an atmosphere of good political and democratic governance for the entire Somali populace. From the outset, this union was flawed due to the outright bias and lopsided sharing of the national resources within the union. The government grossly favoured the South of Somalia which had obtained its independence from its Italian colony on 1st July 1960, nearly a week after the independence of the Republic of Somaliland. The fall out within the Union in the end, resulted in extreme brutality being meted out on a continuous basis against the Somaliland people by the regime of dictator Siad Barre, who was of Southern Somali origin. The destruction and genocide mounted by the politicals and military against Somalilanders fuelled popular uprisings by the people of Somaliland and subsequently led to Somaliland’s reverting to its original June 26, 1960 independent status. The reassertion of Somaliland’s independent status has been achieved through complex but all inclusive representative community/clan conferences which approved the decision to withdraw from the union, re-establish Somaliland’s independence status and in addition reverted to the traditional conflict resolution mechanisms which led to the pacification of the Republic of Somaliland and its society. The all community/clan conference hence resolved to reassert the independent status of the nation within its former boundaries as established in British Somaliland. The Republic of Somaliland comprises the territory, boundaries and people of the former British Somaliland Protectorate defined by the following international instruments: The Anglo-French Treaty of 1888, The Anglo-Italian Protocol of 1894, The Anglo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1897. From the shores of the Gulf of Aden, the Republic of Somaliland extends southwards to the border with Ethiopia, bounded by Djibouti to the West and Somalia (Puntland) to the East. Within these borders, the Republic of Somaliland’s territory holds a population of a bout 4million people and covers an area of 137,600 square kilometres, with a long sea coast in the North. The people of the Republic of Somaliland today exist peacefully, striving to further develop their country to its full potential. This has led to the immense development and reconstruction of people’s lives and institutions without much external assistance. Home-grown initiatives have taken centre stage and the people in this country are overwhelmingly in consensus in their resolve to seek international recognition and reassert their due place in the international community and the community of nations. In terms of governance and administration, Somaliland is a nascent and flourishing democracy which has managed on its own to establish all functioning institutions of a modern state. It has perfected the use of a hybrid system of political governance with a unique combination of traditional and modern conventional system of governance. This has led to the establishment of an impressive bicameral Parliament with two Houses of Parliament. i.e. The House of Elders, commonly known as the Guurti and which serves as a Senate. The House of Representatives is essentially like the House of Commons in Britain or the House of Peoples Representatives in India. Somaliland has also established an independent National Electoral Commission and a Human Rights Commission whose membership is drawn from diverse stakeholders, and approved by Parliament. In terms of security, the Republic of Somaliland has a disciplined security force which includes the Police force, the Military and Custodial corps. It has a largely free judiciary and an impressively efficient financial sector. In addition, there exists a large presence of aid agencies, humanitarian organizations and international NGO`s e.t.c. a majority of whose core staff base is incidentally Kenyan. The major questions on the minds of the Somaliland people are, what more/ else are they to do to enhance their international stature? And, for how long shall they have to wait for this recognition? Political Representation in the Republic of Somaliland ‘The Beel System’ Since the adoption of the National Charter in 1993 the Republic of Somaliland has practised a hybrid system of governance that combines a Somali beel community (clan-based) system of political representation with modern Western-style institutions of government. The main characteristic of the beel is to ensure that all communities/clans are represented, with the primary purpose of maintaining peace and security. The new constitution, which lays down the foundation of the new system was finalized and approved in a nation-wide referendum on 31 May 2001. Parliament passed legislation allowing the formation of political parties in August 2001, and local elections took place in December 2002, from which out of a pack of six, three official political parties emerged. In April 2003 these parties contested presidential elections, a closely run race from which the incumbent, Daahir Rayaale Kahin, emerged as winner. House of Representatives or parliamentary elections were held on 29 September 2005 and were contested by the three official parties: Kulmiye (Solidarity Party), UCID (the Party of Justice and Welfare) and UDUB (The Union of Democrats). The opposition parties – Kulmiye and UCID control the House of Representatives and its leadership. The Structure of the State of the Republic of Somaliland Brief Highlights Of The Somaliland Visit The Kenyan Parliamentary delegation received a tumultuous reception whose impressive organization can only be described as excellent in diplomatic protocol, decorum and organization. In fact, the local media heralded this visit by warmly headlining the course of the entire visit. One major Newspaper actually carried the following on its front-page, ‘Kenyan Parliamentary Delegation Given a Heroic welcome to Somaliland’. To receive the delegation at the Egal International Airport in Hargeisa, were key personalities of the Republic of Somaliland, political, state and administration leadership led by the Rt. Hon. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdillahi, M. P., and Speaker of the Somaliland House of Representatives, Minister in charge of Internal Security, the Chairmen of various parliamentary committees, Parliamentarians, High ranking Public Officials, leaders and representatives of all the three official political parties, and a large group of traditional women dancers clad in Somaliland attire who waved the national flags of Kenya and Somaliland and held aloft the portraits of Excellencies Mwai Kibaki of Kenya and Dahir Rayale Kahin of Somaliland. The entire reception was very well organized and managed. Evidently, the state of things in Somaliland are a complete contrast to the war ravaged, mortar and battle wagon filled imagery that has for along time been associated with Somalia. In terms of media coverage, a battery of both international and local journalists was at hand to cover the entire visit, a fact that serves to highlight the prevailing peace and order situation within the Republic of Somaliland. In 2004, a select committee from the House of Commons of the United Kingdom gave a very favourable report of the situation in Somaliland when they visited the country. The Kenyan team’s visit was more symbolic since this was the first team of African legislators to visit Somaliland. The visible enthusiasm of the Somaliland people to the visit by Kenya Parliamentarians conveyed a strong message of their hope in the Kenyan people for having showed solidarity with them at this most critical time in their history and in appreciation for their struggles, through and by which on their own account they have achieved impressive accomplishments in conflict resolution, peacemaking, social and economic reconstruction. It is important to note here that Somaliland has been running its affairs with minimal external support if any, a fact which has earned it international acclaim. It is therefore not in doubt, that the mission to this nation was seen as a momentous and historic occasion which would open up for Kenya and the Republic of Somaliland mutually beneficial new policy perspectives within which the troubled Horn of Africa complex situation can be realistically addressed and moulded for contemporary development and prosperity. The Kenyan delegation benefited immensely from studying and reviewing a wide literature of; transcripts, representations, articles and other relevant reference documents and materials on Somaliland which included materials on its history in both pre-and post independent times. Economic Reconstruction: Realities and Possibilities The fall of the Siad Barre military regime, brought to an end whole decades of economic war that it meted against Somaliland. The economic strangulation effected via the repressive restrictions and controls of the military regime fell apart when the Siad Barre regime was defeated by the Somali National Movement and the people of Somaliland. The return of peace to Somaliland permitted and made possible the re-activation of trade and multiple economic activities in the country. Private investors particularly of Somaliland origin have generated a multiplicity of activities since the Republic’s liberation in 1991. Construction activity is everywhere evident as entire towns which were razed to the ground in aerial and artillery bombardment during the war of liberation get rebuilt. Telecommunications, air transportation, financial and other services are getting better established in the country. Somaliland’s private sector is playing its critical role as the motor and drive centre point for economic reconstruction. Coal exploitation, organized mining of precious stones, oil exploration, cement production, finance and insurance companies, e-commerce, instituting economic free zones, organizing transit trade via the fabulous port, and, airport facilities in Berbera, the development and systematization of the Berbera Corridor, tourism, e.t.c. calls for larger investments which will doubtless come with international recognition. Given the rich national resource base that it holds in its territory , and with international recognition with foreign direct investment Somaliland can easily become the jewel in Africa’s crown and Emirates. It is evident that, the Republic of Somaliland will in the foreseeable future remain in its current state of being a consumer nation, that will continue to import all of its essential commodities including manufactured, industrial, as well as agricultural produce. The Kenyan Manufacturers stand to immensely benefit from enhanced trading relationships. Similarly, the agricultural sector, particularly horticulture, tea, and miraa growers given the high value of their products stand to gain the opportunity to share if not capture this market for their produce. The Itinerary Of The Fact Finding Mission The Kenyan delegation visited a number of places while in the Republic of Somaliland in the first place; the mass graves at Malko-Durduro in Hargeisa where over 50,000 – 60,000 genocide victims of the brutal dictatorship of Major General Mohamed Siad Barre were buried in shallow mass graves after massacres on site and within the environs of Hargeisa. This tour was facilitated and conducted by the Republic of Somaliland ‘War Crimes Investigations Commission’, which is charged with the responsibility of investigating human rights abuses, genocide and crimes against humanity. With the help of the international community, the commission is collecting forensic evidence, conducting DNA tests and compiling testimonies to present to the International Criminal Court to open up cases on war crimes. The Commission is seeking collaborative relationships with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, Amnesty International and other Human Rights watch-dog organizations for the purpose of bringing the perpetrators of the genocide and other gross human rights violations to book. The Kenyan delegation witnessed horrific scenes of hundreds of skeletons bound together by cloth, ropes and wire which were recently washed up by the incessant floods which had occurred around the former headquarters of the Somalia Army in Hargeisa. This brutality led to the subsequent uprising of the people and the formation of the Somali National Movement (SNM) which waged an armed struggle. Reports by various international human rights organizations such as ‘Africa Watch’ indicate that ‘the number killed by government forces, shot at point blank range, or killed as a result of aerial bombardments and artillery shelling is in the vicinity of 50,000 to 60,000.; So far, a total of 225 mass graves have been mapped out across Somaliland with 200 in Hargeisa alone, 12 in Berbera, 8 in Burao, 2 in Gebilei and Erigavo each, and 1 in Arabsio. In addition, about 200,000 people, mostly women, children and the elderly died either on the way to, or at the refuge camps in Ethiopia due to thirst, exposure to inclement weather, hunger and disease. Ethnic cleansing was particularly aimed at the **** community. The Kenyan delegation was shown among others a mass grave that was littered with children’s skeletons. It was said that the Somalia military bled the children to death in an attempt to forcibly obtain the blood required for transfusion for their wounded soldiers and military personnel. Preliminary tests conducted by international forensic experts in Hargeisa in 1997 after excavations of only three areas indicate that individuals died of gross violence and brutalities after which they were haphazardly buried. The evidence of gross human rights violations and genocide is all evident. The Kenyan delegation expressed its outrage and shock at the grisly chilling recounts of the elaborately planned and executed massacres by the Siad Barre government against the innocent civilians of Somaliland. It further found it completely unacceptable that the perpetrators of these brutal war crimes were living largely in the Diaspora, either, enjoying the welfare status of the developed economies, or currently being part of the Somali Federal Transitional Government. It is indeed abhorrent that these people are even aspiring for or already holding political leadership in the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, much to the utter dismay of the families of the victims of the massacres and the genocide in the Republic of Somaliland. Similarly, the Kenya team sympathised with the War Crimes Commission on the fact that its efforts to place their human rights case firmly on the global agenda had been constrained by the absence of international recognition of the Republic of Somaliland. It therefore endeavoured to aggressively seek to put the facts of the fact finding mission into a policy brief that would afford the intended policy audiences a nexus between the compassionate representation of the People of Somaliland and the urgent and justified need for the international community to act. This would be beneficial since the critical analysis, actualization and profiling of the situation in the Republic of Somaliland by the Kenyan mission should ideally necessitate movement towards decisive progress and coherence in policy approaches by the various policy audiences, notably between the executive and legislative arms of government in pursuing Kenya’s legitimate strategic interests in the Horn of Africa region. Other places visited by the Kenyan delegation include: 1. The University of Hargeisa – This is one of the courageous and valid autochthonous efforts at providing higher education to the people of the Republic of Somaliland. There are a total of five universities in Somaliland. 2. The Berbera Sea Port and Airport are strategically located on the shores of the Red sea. This port is the deepest harbour in Africa. It is currently in use not only by the Republic of Somaliland, but Ethiopia, whose border is not far from this great port. 3. The Military Airbase at Berbera has the longest runway in Africa and is in use for passenger and cargo flights. 4. The Town of Sheikh is located on a very high mountain table with breathtaking landscapes in terms of greenery, and boasts of being the historical seat of centres of higher learning. Sheikh, hosts among others the renowned educational institutions in the Republic of Somaliland including: The famous Sheikh Secondary, a citadel of intellectual might managed by the SOS and funded by the EU, The Veterinary Institute managed by Terra Nova and supported by the AU/IBAR with financing from EU. Most of the staff in these centres are young Kenyan professionals with whom the delegation had useful interaction and who strongly lauded the mission urging for Kenya`s leadership in recognizing Somaliland as a sovereign state which they said is long over due. Meeting Of Kenyan Delegation With Somaliland Leadership The fact finding mission met with the following key personalities in the Somaliland administration. H.E Dahir Rayaale Kahin, The President of the Republic of Somaliland Cabinet Ministers including Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Internal Security, Planning, Family Affairs as well as the Minister responsible for Parliament and Government Relations. Chairman of the House of Elders of Parliament (Upper House or Senate) Speaker of the House of Representatives, flanked by all the chairmen of Parliamentary Committees in both houses. Top leadership of the three political parties namely, the ruling UDUB Party, UCID Party, and the Kulmiye Party. Chairman and members of the National Electoral Commission Representatives of civil society organisations. The Governor of Berbera region, the Mayor of Berbera city and the management of Berbera port facilities. The Kenyan fact finding mission also had the honour and rare privilege of addressing a joint session of both Houses and an equally useful interactive exchange with the honourable members of the Bicameral Parliament which was chaired by the chairman of the Senate popularly known as the Guurti, H.E Rt.Hon. Suleiman Mahmud Adam. To complement the working meetings and sessions, there were interspaced a series of state dinners and luncheons in honour of the delegation by various leaders of the Republic of Somaliland which provided an additional opportunity for interaction between the Kenyan Parliamentary team and their hosts. The Republic of Somaliland’s state and political leadership sought to press home the salient and main facts that have been neglected in the confusion that has been characterizing global image of the greater Horn of Africa as an area or zone of general armed conflagration, war and mayhem. The leadership were at pains to demonstrate how peace has prevailed in Somaliland over the past 15 years without the due recognition of its sovereignty that the Republic of Somaliland deserves. Key Facts On Somaliland’s Independence While the African Union (AU) has made some efforts to appreciate the full implications of an independent Somaliland, it has however allowed for the systematic misrepresentation and overshadowing of Somaliland’s quest for international recognition by the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. For instance, while the AU`s fact finding mission to the Republic of Somaliland was very encouraging, it was however saddening and most unjustified to note that there lacked reasonably extensive discussion on the said missions report. Furthermore, it defeats all logic that representatives from the Transitional Federal Government had been allowed to silence active debate on the subject and confuse the subject with support for the TFG over the now deposed Islamic Courts Union. This fact is indeed a miscarriage of justice. This inspired Somaliland’s President to use the analogy of two football teams that are separated from each other by the referee, to relate to the situation in the greater horn of Africa. Obviously in such a case, there would be no game, no scores but just an everlasting stand-off. President Kahin further explained that the IGAD and AU needed to give equal audience to the two parties in the dispute. On this note, the President felt that maintaining communication with only the leadership of the TFG, while alienating the leadership of Somaliland would be counterproductive to the attainment of lasting peace in the entire region. In addition, the TFG being a party to the dispute needed to be ideally moved out of the bench since a defendant can not at the same time be a member to the sitting bench in a court of law. On this note, the AU needs to constitute a neutral and un-biased group of member states to listen to the representations and arguments of the parties to the dispute, and resolve this matter for once based on fair and sound judgement in accordance with international law. On the basis and account of the above mentioned findings and facts on the Republic of Somaliland, the delegation from Kenya prepared the following communiqué. Communiqué Issued By the Kenyan Fact Finding Mission To Somaliland The Kenyan parliamentary fact finding mission to the Republic of Somaliland takes note of the following key issues in arriving at a consensus decision to strongly and unequivocally call on the Government of the Republic of Kenya to lead the way in the international recognition of the independent statehood of the Republic of Somaliland: The current boundaries of the Republic of Somaliland are exactly the same as those of the original British Somaliland Protectorate and of the independent country recognized by the international community as of 26th June 1960, and therefore the current Republic of Somaliland has a solid, sound and unquestionable legal basis for recognition under international law. The Republic of Somaliland is merely reasserting and reverting to its original boundary status and this is in no way in contravention or conflict with the Constitutive Act of the African Union regarding the inviolability and respect for borders existing as at independence. The Republic of Somaliland is not setting a precedent in Africa by withdrawing from a failed union which they voluntarily enjoined in the first place. This principle of ‘utti posseditis’s has been followed in the dissolution of several post independence unions in Africa namely: United Arab Republic (Egypt-Syria, 1958-1961) Mali Federation (Mali-Senegal, 1960) Senegambia (Senegal-Gambia, 1982-1989) The AU (formerly OAU) upholding the principles of uti posseditis needs to support Somaliland’s restoration of its sovereignty within the boundaries of the former British Protectorate as legal claim for recognition as constituted within the AU`s constitutive Acts. Clearly, this is not an act of secession by the Somaliland Republic. As elaborately explained, it is merely following a well established precedent of acknowledging unsuccessful mergers hence upholding the founding principles of utti posseditis. From a legal perspective, the merger of Somaliland and Somalia was a de facto, not a de jure union as not a single authenticated document confirming the joint act of formation of the union was entered into and ratified. The Republic of Somaliland has a strong moral, political and legal claim to recognition of statehood under the internationally recognized right to self determination; and the right to collective protection from human rights abuse or denial. This right is the first article of the founding treaties of the United Nations, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the UN charter itself. Article 20 (1) of the African Charter on human and Peoples rights likewise asserts that ‘all peoples shall have the unquestionable and inalienable right to self determination’. This principle of self determination has been successfully exercised in the past by several countries notably, Bangladesh (1971), Eritrea (1993), East Timor (1999) and numerous former republics of the former Yugoslavia and USSR. The exercise of the right in the case of the Republic of Somaliland is the more valid and urgent as there exists clear evidence that in the period of the existence of the union, the people of Somaliland suffered documented gross human rights violations, severe enough to justify their exercise of the legal right to self determination by withdrawing from the failed union. Finally, there is no doubt whatsoever that Somaliland’s independence is an expression of the will of the vast majority of her people. People who have expressed this desire in various ways including the very bitter and armed struggle against the regime of Mohamed Siad Barre, various all inclusive community/clan conferences in 1991 in which the decision to withdraw from the failed union was made, and the subsequent popular referendum in 2001 which saw an overwhelming majority of the people of Somaliland (97% of the one million votes cast supported its reincarnation and in which the first Article affirms Somaliland’s sovereignty and independence). This message was further re-confirmed by the AU`s fact finding mission to Somaliland as stated in its report which quotes, ‘The message was the same at every place, ‘the irreversible independence of Somaliland’; no return to the union with Somalia; the quest for recognition from the AU and the international community’’. Somaliland’s sovereign independence has been wrongly advanced as a contravention of the OAU/AU principles and as a promotion of secessionism which this dossier has proven beyond reasonable doubt to be grossly incorrect as also affirmed by the AU Fact finding Mission to Somaliland which categorically stated ‘Somaliland’s case can not be simplistically viewed through such a prism. Her case is unique and justifiable and thus cannot be equated to any existing or potential secessionist movement in the continent.’ Somalia waged not only two bloody wars for the former N.F.D in Kenya, and, the ****** territory in Ethiopia, but also used all its military might to attempt to force the citizens of the Republic of Somaliland into submission in pursuit of its age old, but misplaced dream of a greater Somalia. Clinging to its claim over the Republic of Somaliland which is one of the five so called ‘five Somalis’, clearly demonstrates that it still harbours its ill intentions against its neighbours including Kenya and Ethiopia. Nothing short of acknowledging that the ill fated union with Somaliland is dead; and hence the urgent need to recognize it as a sovereign neighbour state will be assurance enough to Somalia’s neighbours. The danger posed by irredentist forces to the stability of the Horn of Africa region cannot be over emphasized. Combined with international terrorism, it is bound not only to set the region aflame, but generate further destruction, genocides and holocausts in this pivotal African zone. Somaliland’s sovereign independence will without doubt effectively help to defuse the age old Somali Irredentism that endangers both Kenya and Ethiopia. Hence Kenya should act in its national interests irrespective of any existing diplomatic game plans in the region. If Kenya were to promote her quest for sovereign recognition of the Republic of Somaliland, it would greatly stand to benefit. The reality of the current circumstances makes it even more urgent for Kenya to consider leading the way in the international recognition of the Republic of Somaliland. Kenya should also use its influence as chair of IGAD, and its immense investments in the establishment of the TFG to pressure the Somalia factions, principally the TFG to renounce the notion of Greater Somalia and Somali expansionism, through recognition of the Republic of Somaliland. The historical truth is that Somali peoples, nations and communities have not in the past lived within any one constituted state formation or polity, but in various ecological clusters that have loosely related to one another in some way or other. As an interim measure, Kenya should upgrade and scale up its liaison office in the Republic of Somaliland by for instance deploying senior staff such as economic and commercial counsellors. This is Kenya’s opportunity to give due leadership in the IGAD region and Africa and provide the long sought for African guidance in the resolution of the complex crises and conflicts that have buffeted our region on end.
