Rift emerges in Somali Sufi group

 

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

 

Senior leaders from Somalia's main Sufi group Ahlu Sunna wal Jamaa on Tuesday denounced a deal struck last week by some of its members with the government during a meeting in Addis Ababa.

 

The Ethiopian foreign ministry had issued a statement on Saturday announcing an agreement between the embattled internationally-backed transitional federal government and the Sufi group to combat the country's Islamist insurgency.

 

But some of the Sufi movement's top figures argued that those who reached the deal in Addis were not representative of the group and not authorised to set policy.

 

"The so-called agreement reached and discussions that took place in Addis Ababa were misleading and created a rift within Ahlu Sunna followers," Sheikh Omar Sheikh Mohamed Farah, a top Ahlu Sunna leader, told AFP in Mogadishu.

 

He argued that "the Addis deal does the Shebab and other anti-peace groups a favour by promoting some individuals over others and undermining a planned Ahlu Sunna general assembly to be held soon."

 

Abdulkadir Mohamed Somow, another leader, said that one faction with Ahlu Sunna had "hijacked the process" by dealing directly with the federal government in the organisation's name.

 

Ahlu Sunna wal Jamaa took up arms in 2008 to counter the growing threat to its traditional brand of Sufi Islam posed by the Shebaab, a self-declared component of al-Qaeda's global jihad.

 

While inexperienced and poorly trained, the ad hoc Sufi militia is seen by observers as an important component of a planned government-led offensive to root out the Shebab, who currently control 80 percent of the country.

 

The Sufi group has wide popular support is well established in the Galgudud and Mudug regions of central Somalia but some key federal government members remain deeply suspicious and see them chiefly as political rivals.

SHEEKH CUMAR SHEEKH MAX'ED FAARAX: "Hadafkii aan u dagaallamaynay ma ahay inaan jagooyin ka helno dowladda Soomaaliya"

 

Talaado 23, Feb 2010 (HOL) Guddoomiyihii hore ee Ururka Ahlu Sunna Waljamaaca ee Gobollada Dhexe Sheekh Cumar Sheekh Max'ed Faarax oo shir jaraa'id maanta ku qabtay Muqdisho ayaa sheegay in hadafkii ay u dagaalamayeen uusan ahayn inay jagooyin ka helaan Dowladda.

 

 

 

Sheekh Cumar iyo wafdi uu hoggaaminayo oo muddo todobaad ah ku sugnaa Magaalada Muqdisho ayaa sheegay in hadafkoodu uu ahaa mid ay ku doonayaan inay ku badbaadiyaan diinta Islaamka, ayna dadka baraan.

 

 

 

"Ujeeddadii aan ula dagaallamaynay kooxaha dagaalka aan kula jirno ma ahayn inaan jagooyin iyo mansab kaga helno dowladda Soomaaliya, balse waxay ahayd inaan diinta Islaamka badbaadinno hadafkaasna kama leexanayno" ayuu yiri Sheekh Cumar Sheekh Max'ed Faarax.

 

 

 

Mas'uulkan wuxuu sheegay inay soo dhaweynayaan tallaabo walba oo sababaya in dowladda iyo Ahlusunna ay isku soo dhawaadaan, isagoo aan mucaaradin shirkii ka dhacay dalka Itoobiya ee dhexmaray dowladda iyo Ahlusunna, sidoo kalena ma sheegay inay ku qanacsan yihiin.

 

 

 

"Dowladdu waxaan ka doonaynaa inay garab nagu siiso sidii aan ula dagaalami lahayn kooxaha naga soo horjeeda, ayna diinta u faafin lahayn, inagoo raacayna jidadkii ay Islaamku diinta ku faafin jireen" ayuu yiri mas'uulkan.

 

 

 

Sidoo kale wuxuu sheegay inuu la kulmay markii uu Muqdisho yimid madaxda Dowladda sida Madaxweyne Sheekh Shariif, Ra'iisul wasaare Cumar C/rashiid iyo xubnaha kale ee dowladda ayna kawada hadleen xiriirka u dhexeeya Dowladda iyo Ahlusunna.

 

 

 

Wuxuu sheegay inay u sheegeen inaysan dowladda ka doonayn xil, balse ay aad ugu faraxsan yihiin inay isku soo dhawaadaan oo ay xiriir wanaagsan yeeshaan Dowladda iyo Ahlusunna Waljamaaca.

 

 

 

"Waxaan sheegaynaa wixii khalad ah ee ay dowladdu gasho, sidoo kale waxaan sheegaynaa wanaaggii ay sameysay, taasina waa waajib saaran dadka Soomaaliyeed oo dhan" ayuu yiri Sheekh Cumar oo sheegay in ujeeddada safarkooda ay qayb ka tahay in ay mideeyaan garabyada Ahlusunna.

 

 

 

Hadalka Guddoomiyihii hore ee Ahlusunna ayaa kusoo beegmaya iyadoo Dowladdu ay shaacisay in heshiis hordhac ah ay gaareen iyaga iyo Ururka Ahlusunna, kaasoo lagu wado in la saxiixo horraanta bisha soo socota ee Maarso.
