OLOL Posted August 3, 2005 August 2, 2005 To: UN Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan Permanent Representatives of the UN Security Council Members We, the HWY Action Group (HAG) regard the proposed reconciliation plan of the UN Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS) seriously flawed. This plan proposes Jowhar as the seat of the Transitional Institution inconsistent of the Transitional Federal Charter of Somalia. The relocation of the Transitional Institution, the Introduction of foreign troops in Somalia and respecting the Transitional Charter are the three major obstacles in the Somalia Peace Process at this time. The UN will not be seen as an honest broker by recommending Mogadishu not being the seat of government. The UN can play a vital role in the Somalia peace process in strengthening the new Transitional Charter by advising the two camps to respect it and not weaken it by advocating ignoring parts of it. It negates the fact that the leaders of the Transitional Institution have the responsibility to seek legitimacy from the people of Somalia and not act as an occupying foreign force waiting for the right time to attack. The people of Somalia have lost trust of Abdullhi Yussuf and see him as an agent of Ethiopia. On July 28 troops loyal to this warlord crossed from the border of Ethiopia to Hiran region attacking local tribal militias. The people in Bay and Bakol regions are preparing for the worst as this warlord with the help of Ethiopia sends weapons and ammunition there to create a military base for his planned attack of the neighbouring regions and on to Mogadishu. The situation in these regions is tense now and violence may escalate. It is also noteworthy to mention that the city of Galkayo is calm after he left there for Jowhar ten days ago. There must be a trust building mechanism plan among the people and the leaders of Somalia. Only a broad based national reconciliation that has a timeline and benchmarks to build consensus among the Somali leaders will strengthen the legitimacy of the Transitional Institutions. We ask the UN to allocate the expertise and funds needed to make the Banadir Security Initiative successful. We believe this will encourage other cities and regions to do the same. We urge the people of Somalia to reject violence and reaffirm their commitment to peace and constitutional order. It is the responsibility of each and every Somali to preserve the Unity and the sovereignty of Somalia.
