27 Aug 27, 2010 - 1:41:23 PM

 

Officials of Somalia’s semi-autonomous state of Puntland led by President Abdirahman Mohammed Farole got opportunity to receive and officially launched a draft constitution presented to them by members of the Independent Federal Constitution Commission [iFCC] and UNDP.

 

The launching ceremony of the draft constitution was held at Garowe Presidential Palace.

 

Hawa Ali Jama, a member of IFCC was hopeful that the adoption of the new draft constitution will be realized soon.

 

Puntland parliament speaker Abdirashid Mohammud Hirsi said the new draft is critical for the guide to the end of transitional governments in Somalia and ushering in a new era of peace.

 

On his part, President Farole welcomed the consultative meeting, adding that new draft is official launches in Garowe, the administrative capital.

 

He sent his government condolence to recent attacks on parliamentarians in Mogadishu, which killed six lawmakers. Al-Shabaab, a hardline insurgent group fighting the UN-backed Somali TFG and African Union troops was responsible for the attacks.

 

The Independent Federal Constitution Commission [iFCC], comprising of 29 members, was mandated by the Transitional Federal Charter for Somalia to prepare the draft constitution for public consultation across the horn of African nation and Diaspora.

 

The team embarked on consultation drive that will saw them visit many parts of the war-torn country.

 

“The aim of the two-month public consultation period is therefore to draft a final constitution that is supported, reflects and represents Somali people's views of governance systems, right and duties in their nation,” said the commission in a statement.

 

The Commission aim to present a final draft constitution this December.

On August 14, the document was circulated to the cabinet and the members of the Somalia’s Transitional Federal Parliament for review and consultation.

The new constitution will go along way to cement Puntlands standing within the future Somali state.

^Puntland got what it wanted in the constitution. How will this figure in its relationship with TFG?

[General Duke]

Aside from few misunderstandings steming largely from the side ofthe TFG officials like Ibbi and others, Puntland has and will maintain good relations with the TFG and the future government of Somalia. Which Puntland will play a central role.

[nuune]

First time in Somalia's history does a constitution allows a president to be a non -Muslim!

 

 

PS: Nothing to be proud of, and Good job to the International Community in drafting yet another destruction for Somalia, and thanks to Djibouti as well for not working in the interest of Somalia.

[General Duke]

Opposing everything is no longer possible and what are be chances that a non Muslim will ever be leader? It's time to build the structures of a new state for the next generation.

[Sophist]

Che,

 

It would be ideal if you could tell us which prosvion states that a None Muslim can become a president of the Republic?

 

Please let us know.

 

S

 

PS: FYI: The Constitution is based on the principles of Shareeca and becoming a president for a Muslim country such a person must be a Muslim, stipulates the Shareeca.

[Saalax]

How can the TFG claim to be implanting shariah law, while in their new fake Constitution it says a non muslim can become the president of the 1km somali republic, laughable.

[General Duke]

Abu S made a valid point there.

[Garaad Bari]

they know somalis are 100% muslims so wy even bring up the issue of non-mulslim being head of state,,,,,something is fishy here!!

[Che -Guevara]

Abu-S...I didn't make the claim the president can be Christain. Nuune did and I'm not sure if he red the draft.

 

 

The preamble starts with affirmation of the Tawhid and acknowledge of the Prophet (PBUH).

 

In article I, it states the constitution is based on Sharia.

 

Islam is established as the State religion in article II and no other religion can be propagated. Under the third provision of the same article, it states no law can be passed if it's deemed incompatible with the Sharia.

 

In article 22, it says no Muslim can renounce Islam and it reaffirms no other will be propagated in Somalia.

 

 

I think Nuune might be concerned about Article 95 (qualification of the president). It doesn't mention if the president should be Muslim. But in country where Muslim can not renounce his religion, it's hard to see Christian or atheist being president.In any case, such provision could be amended as this is not the last draft and even it was, future government can amend it or put it to vote. It's safe it will get an overwhelming support.

I wonder what some people would say if the draft launched in Muqdisho ....
