Somaliland Making Significant Progress

UNISA academic speaks at Somaliland roundtable discussion in Ghana: Somaliland making significant progress

 

Last month UNISA's Iqbal Jhazbhay from the College of Human Sciences was invited to speak at a roundtable discussion titled 'Somaliland – Africa's Best-Kept Secret? - Unpacking recent Somalia & Somaliland Dynamics at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre in Accra, Ghana.

This roundtable discussion attempted to present innovative policy ideas and engaging commentary on the issues of the day, as the African Union (AU) Commission and key African states struggle with taking forward the AU's 2005 report on Somaliland.

 

Jhazbhay suggested a framework of inquiry based on his two recent studies: "Ethiopia, Somaliland & Somalia amid an Islamist rising storm on the horn: The African Union & the case for urgent preventive diplomacy" and "Security, Governance and Development: The braided strands of future prosperity in Africa".

 

Somaliland making significant progress

 

Jhazbhay argued that Somaliland had taken healthy, yet difficult steps towards making the triple framework of security, governance and development a reality. Somaliland's security emerged with effective demobilisation, a modern-cum-traditional-elders' compact of governance with budding institutions of state building along with a home-grown economy.

 

However, Jhazbhay said that Somaliland is faced with challenges as its works its way of balancing the executive and legislative arms of government. Currently, the executive arm is in the hands of the ruling Udub Party while parliament is in the hands of the opposition Ucid and Kulimiye parties. He said the existing tension of media freedom remains, as the government over-reacts, while the media comes to terms with covering the office of the president within a code of acceptable ethics of reporting, balancing the demands of a robust democracy and traditional norms of dignity.

 

Jhazbhay stressed that Somaliland's economic development prospects have been hampered by the lack of international recognition and has left Somaliland with further problems, which this blossoming democracy can well do without. This innovative democracy is fragile and can well be threatened, less its home-developed efforts be supported, nurtured and protected.

Jacaylbro, Your minister is fired now, and you went back all the way to where you came from with a major defeat. What border did you secure?? Dont you know the reason that was fired this Minister was just the same case of Israel when Ehud Barak blindly invaded Hisba Allah and underestimated their art of war. Well, the authority of Puntland is already under controll of Dhahar,Xingalool,Shinbiraale, and the entire region. Soon, the hight ranking officers will isue a press release over the lay off of the minister
