Liibaan Posted September 10, 2009 Somaliland President Shuts Down Parliament After Impeachment Motion The president of Somaliland has forcibly closed the breakaway republic's parliament after it began debating impeachment charges against him, just a few days after elections were indefinitely postponed. The speaker of Somaliland's Lower House of Parliament accuses of the territory's leader of dictatorship. Security forces controlled by Somaliland President Dahir Riyale stormed into the parliament on Tuesday and removed the members. Since that time, security forces have locked up the parliament building and refused access to legislators. Tensions flared up in the Lower House of Parliament after the body's legal advisor ruled that an impeachment motion from a member of parliament was constitutional and could be debated. The ruling resulted in a physical scuffle allegedly instigated by members loyal to the president. After one member of parliament, known for being a staunch ally of the president, brandished a gun, police moved in and forcibly adjourned the meeting. The speaker of the Lower House of Parliament, Abdurrahman Abdillahi, accused the president of purposefully orchestrating the brawl in order to justify stopping the impeachment proceedings. "The plan was just either the motion would stop, or the parliament building would be confiscated by the security forces of the president. We have requested the president to remove these units from the parliament building, but there was no heeding," he said. The president's move is just the latest in a string of actions that critics point to in accusing the Somaliland leader of abuse of power and systematic disregard for the law of the land. Earlier this week, the election commission indefinitely postponed elections schedule for later this month, citing the deteriorating political environment and the president's decision to hold the poll without voter registration lists. It was the third announced delay of the vote that was originally supposed to take place 17 months ago. A term extension granted to President Riyale is set to expire in October. The speaker of the Lower House said the leader is turning the office of the presidency into a dictatorship. "We think these are the characteristics of an immanent dictator. He does not respect the constitution, he does not respect the laws, and that is the normal characteristics of an immanent dictator," he said. The Somaliland MPs have announced they and their staff will attempt to peacefully re-enter the building Saturday. The speaker said if this action fails, they will just keep trying until the situation is resolved. Watchdog groups fear the political crisis in Somaliland is threatening the existence of its young democracy, rare in a region marred with conflict. The territory declared its independence from the rest of Somalia in 1991 after the country's last functioning central government toppled. But the rest of the world has yet to recognize its statehood.

Liibaan Posted September 11, 2009 Jamhuuriya: Madaxweyna Rayaale oo Aqbalay in la Furo Xarunta Golaha Wakiillada Madaxweyna Rayaale oo Aqbalay in la Furo Xarunta Golaha Wakiillada Hargeysa (Jam)- Madaxweynaha Somaliland Md. Daahir Rayaale Kaahin, ayaa la sheegay inuu aqbalay in xukuumaddu xayiraadda ka qaaddo xarunta Golaha Wakiillada, isla markaana dulqaado ciidammada haysta. Sida warar ku dhowdhow Madaxtooyadu u xaqiijiyeen Jamhuuriya waxa kulan fool-ka-fool ah oo ay xalay qasriga madaxtooyada ku yeeshay Madaxweyne Rayaale iyo Shirguddoonka Golaha Guurtida, ayaa labada dhinac kaga wadahadleen sidii xal loogu heli lahaa khilaafka xooggan ee ka dhashay tallaabadii xukuumaddu albaabada ugu xidhay xarunta Golaha Wakiillada Somaliland. Kulanka dhexmaray Madaxweynaha iyo xubnaha Shirguddoonka Guurtida oo la sheegay inuu ahaa codsi ka yimi dhinaca Madaxtooyada, ayaa sida ilahaasi xuseen waxa Guddoomiye Saleebaan Maxamuud Aadan ku wargeliyey Madaxweyne Rayaale in tallaabada xukuumaddu ku xayirtay golaha sharci-dejinta tahay mid duminaysa jiritaanka Somaliland, si weyna waxyeellaynaysana xasilloonida guud ee dalka, sidaa awgeedna loo baahan yahay inuu degdeg uga noqdo, ciidammadana ka dulqaado si looga badbaado in nabadgelyada qaranku faraha ka baxdo. Warku waxa uu intaa ku daray in Md. Rayaale aqbalay furitaanka iyo xayiraad-ka-qaadista Golaha Wakiillada oo ciidammada ammaanku la wareegeen Salaasadii toddobaadkan si goluhu u guto hawl-maalmeedkiisa distooriga ah ee xayiraaddu saaran tahay, lagana wada shaqeeyo iyo dejinta xaaladda cakiran ee ka dhalatay go’aankii xukuumaddu ku xidhay xarunta Baarlamanka, isagoo dhinaca kalena Shirguddoonka Guurtida ka codsaday inay ka hawlgalaan joojinta isu-soo-baxyada dadweyne ee ay sida wadajirka ah ugu baaqeen Sabtida berri labada xisbi mucaarad iyo Shirguddoonka dibad-wareegga ah ee Wakiillada. Sida ilaha xogogaalka ah tibaaxeen Shirguddoonka Golaha Guurtida ayaa la filayaa inuu Jimcaha maanta si faahfaahsan uga warramo natiijada ka soo baxday kulankii ay xalay la yeesheen Madaxweyne Daahir Rayaale Kaahin. Qalalaasaha khilaafka siyaasiga ah ee ka aloosan Somaliland ayaa cirka isku sii shareeray, kadib ciidammada xukuumadda Madaxweyne Rayaale Salaasadii toddobaadkan albaabada u xidheen, lana wareegeen xarunta Golaha Wakiillada ee shacabku soo doorteen, arrintaas oo keentay in khilaafku gaadho heerkii ugu sarreeyey abid, iyadoo si weyn looga cabsi qabo iska-horimaadyo dhaawaca nabadgelyada guud oo dalka ka qarxa. Dhinaca kale, waxa maalmihii ugu dambeeyey ilaa xalay socday gobollada dalka oo dhan ka socday abaabullo dadweyne oo lagaga soo horjeedo tallaabada sharci-darrada ah ee xukuumadda Rayaale qufulka ugu jebisay dhismaha xarunta Golaha Wakiillada, kuwaasoo laga werwer qabo inay sababaan qalalaase iyo isku-dhacyo khalkhalin kara xasilloonida Somaliland, haddii aan xal degdeg ah laga gaadhin muranka aloosan inta ka horreysa Sabtida berri ee loo ballansan yahay bannaanbaxyada ballaadhan.

Mr. Somalia Posted September 12, 2009 ^^^ I take it you, Poker, have the thought in your head that you are an 'intelligent' marfishlander, OK. I'd be interested in having you explain how you arrived at this rather hopeful conclusion. Is it me, or are you just simply so out of touch with reality to understand the serious madness Riyaale has unleashed upon the population of the northwest? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt at this point inasmuch as you seem to be a little wide-eyed in astonishment and terror, concerning the violence unfolding in Hargaysa today. Saaxiib, this guy won't leave quietly nor quickly. Marka, care to explain to us, how he will be removed without affecting the relative peace Shankaroonis enjoy? Remember, becoming another Xamar is not an option... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Us, SOMALILANDERS, have our own way of dealing with adversity. I know you loudmouthed secessionists live in a dreamland and think you can actually wish away the genuine concerns fellow Somalis have for their brethren in Hargaysa, but braying aimlessly about so-called 'internal affairs' wont stop us from being worried about the suffering of our Somali brother and sisters. So, Poker, I urge you to AT LEAST give me the benefit of doubt and accept that, I do indeed care about the sad plight facing the north west. Now if war breaks out, Hargaysa will simply become another Xamar and that just unbearable. In my opinion, the best strategy against Riyaale is peaceful resistance.
