Liibaan Posted June 19, 2010 PRESS RELEASE,(NSUM)- The self-styled foreign minister of the one-clan secessionist enclave calling itself Somaliland, otherwise the NW region of Somalia, is a charlatan who distinguished himself only for his ludicrous utterances. Among his baseless but laughable mantra is his claim that Somaliland was recognised on independence by the United Nations and numerous countries when no country did anything of the sort and the UN itself has no power to recognise any country; A second assertion of his, which is raving bonkers, is that the area's former colonial borders are still valid and recognised by the African Union when that is only a figment of his own imagination. The AU cannot recognise borders that ceased to exist when the territory concerned united with Italian Somaliland on the first July 1960. It only recognises those of Somalia. A third claim is that Ethiopia's trade office in Hargeisa is an embassy and its head an ambassador- implying that Ethiopia had recognised the enclave! But Mr Duale's most preposterous and bizarre claim is that the regions of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (SSC) in NW Somalia are the heritage of their clan, bequeathed to them by their former British colonial master whom they look up to as their blessed benefactor. Any time the TFG and the UN SRSG get involved in the SSC as it is their business, Mr Duale would scream foul, berating them for illegally trespassing on their internal affairs as if they were a separate country from Somalia and as if the people and regions of SSC were their clan's private property!! Once again, Mr Duale has been dishing out his familiar antics in his recent interview with the BBC Somali Service in which he maliciously stamped the stigma of terrorism on Mr. Suleiman Cisse Ahmed, the leader of the recently established SSC Hogaan, which stands for the unity of Somalia and the liberation of the SSC regions. Mr. Cisse's crime in the eyes of Mr Duale (and his secessionist circles) is to state in an earlier BBC interview certain undeniable facts which are an anathema to the secessionists: firstly, that the SSC regions do not belong to Somaliland but are part and parcel of Somalia just as Somaliland itself is; and secondly, that the international community recognises Somalia's unity and its territorial integrity in which the SSC regions are an inseparable parts as Somaliland itself is. What particularly stung Mr. Duale this time is Mr. Suleiman Cisse's incontestable assertion that they had been invaded and occupied by clan militia from the rebel entity based in Hargeisa and that they will exercise their inalienable right to liberate themselves from these outlaws. In their desperation to defend their indefensible occupation of the SSC regions, Mr. Duale and his secessionist renegades are now tarring the victims of their occupation with the terrorist label when in reality they are the real terrorists. Only those who live in a fantasy world like Duale's secessionists could imagine that the international community will fall for these ridiculous accusations. The heinous crimes against humanity committed in the SSC regions by the secessionist occupiers speaks for itself. Over 100,000 of Lascanod's residents have been ethnic-cleansed and forced to flee the city most of them ending as refugees in camps in NE Kenya. The daily terror that the occupiers mete out to the occupied include rape, looting, killings, detentions without trials, frequent curfews as collective punishment, denial of the right to education, food and free movement. The recent massacre of innocent people in Widhwidh and Balle Hadhac , including women, children and the elderly, is their latest crime and the cynical crocodile tears Mr. Duale shed in his interview with the BBC only adds insult to injuries. Just as the colonialists used to wrongly blame their subjects' quest for freedom as being waged by handful agitators, so Mr. Duale is blaming some SSC foreign passport holders for instigating and fanning the problems they face in the SSC regions. What Mr.Duale disingenuously does not acknowledge is that most of the members or leaders of Somaliland's political establishment are foreign passport holders; so also is their Diaspora abroad who are propping up the secession financially and politically. So, if it is right for their foreign passport holders to back up their enclave and its occupation of our regions, why is it wrong for the SSC Diaspora to come to the aid of their occupied and suffering people? The answer is that there is one rule for themselves and a different one for others. The election Somaliland hopes to hold on 26 June is their last desperate act to hoodwink the international community that these elections can take place anywhere in the NW Region and that this is a testimony both to the support the secession has among all regions and clans and their collective desire for recognition. But the reality is otherwise, and the bitter bill they would have to swallow is that the three SSC regions and their people will have nothing to do with these elections despite the brute and indiscriminate force the secessionists are using to have their way. The message it sends it to the international community is clear: that the election sham is limited to one secessionist clan and should be seen as such. Mr Duale should be left in no doubt that the SSC people will liberate themselves, that their secession is doomed to failure, that Somalia's unity will prevail and that there will be no hiding place for those who committed human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in the SSC regions. They will be hunted whether they live abroad or at home and brought to justice. It is not still too late for Mr Duale to repent, redeem himself and desert the sinking secessionist ship.
