Secessionists cry : Dahir Riyaale killed our democracy

[General Duke]

Xukuumadda Daahir Rayaale Iyo Axmed Yusuf Oo Wakhtigii Ka Dhamaaday

May 16th, 2008

 

Dalku horumar iyo aqoonsi ka dheer inta xukun maroorsigu

London (Somaliland.Org) Xukuumadda Somaliland ee uu hogaaminayo Md Dahir Riyale Kahin ayaa wakhtigii la doortay kaga dhamaaday manta oo taariikhdu tahay 16.05.08.

 

Xisbiyadda mucaaridka UCID iyo Kulmiye ayaa cadeeyey in aanay aqoonsanayn Md DahirRiyale in uu yahay Madaxweyne laga bilaabo maalinta taariikhdu t ahay 16.05.08.

 

Madaxweynaha wakhtigu ka dhamaaday ee Dahir Riyale ayaa u muuqda inuu ku qanacsan yahay muddo kordhinta qayral dastuuriga ah ee golaha guurtidu u samaysay.

 

Golaha guurtida ayaa sanadkii hore muddo kordhin waxa u sameeyey madaxweynaha imika wakhtigu ka dhamaaday ee Dahiur Riyale. Sharciyeynta muddo kordhintaas ayaa golaha wakiiladda Somaliland ku tilmaamey mid aan dastuurka iyo sharciga Somaliland ku salaynnayn oo qayral distoori ah.

 

Dadka indha indheeya siyaasadda Somaliland iyo ta geeskaba ayaa rajo xumo ka muujinaya xaaladda Somaliland ka taagan iyada oo golaha guurtida iyo xukuumadda Somaliland labaduba wakhtigoodi ka dhacay.

 

Dhinaca kale, saaxiibadii adduunka ee Somaliland ayaa walaac xoogan ka muujiyey wadada Somaliland qaaday iyo sida ay uga leexatay wadadii dimuqraadiyadda. Xafladii 18ka May ee loogu dabaal degayay gooni isutaga Somaliland oo maalintii Sabtidii ina soo dhaftay lagu qabtay London ayaa Mudanayaal fara badan oo ay ka mid yihin Steve Kiplin iyo M Bradbury ku nuux nuuxsadeen sida Somaliland uga leexatay wadadii fiicnayd ee ay haysay una muuqato in digreeto Madaxweyne lagu xukumo dalka.

 

Mudane Dahir Riyale Kahin iyo Axmed Yusuf Yasin ayaa manta waaxi ka danbeya waxa ay noqonayaan rag xukunka dalka ku haysta qori caaradii, iyada oo taasi dhibatoyin badan dadka iyo dalka usoo jiidi karto.

Every time a glimmer of hope shines and all agree on conflict resolution, it is Riyale who turns around and says no to it. So let the chips fall where they may. Let’s call a spade a spade. There is no problem in Somaliland except one: Riyale who refused to leave office at the end of his term. Who else accept him is the problem? Opposition parties and the society do not want him to stay after May 15th simply because his term of office ends. This president is proving to be difficult for a) ignoring the constitution b) disregarding any form of conflict resolution and c) turning the blame elsewhere. Today he is bringing to court the driver of the young girl his police killed without cause. This tactic of beating the innocent is his way of diverting attention and blame.

 

 

 

Now the Peace Academy took over the conflict resolution that everyone else failed to achieve. How is the Peace Academy different from the patent Mr. Abdulrahman Cirro? Perhaps, he feels the Peace Academy will fulfil his wish. Trust me as soon as they try to resolve the problem, he will say no. We have seen many conflicts created by his deafness that even the best of the Somali scholars got involved and failed. Does he listen to anyone? Today Awil ran in every direction like a headless chicken yet he refused to negotiate. So did he call the opposition to dictate his terms to them if he was not going to listen to equal partner negotiation. His only tactic is to pass the deadline. Please do not listen to him and do no meet him again. Start wokring to oust him out of office.

 

To keep this president even for a day after his term is over is very dangerous and detrimental to the country.

 

 

 

If through negotiation, we allow him to remain for another year we are taking the path of destruction. Igal has set precedence for Riiyale and this is the footpath Riiyale is threading on even thought that was before the Constitution. Now with a Constitution, how can we put informal negotiations over constitutional right? If we allow this president who does not have any reason to remain in office to have his way then we shouldn’t have constitution at all. We should get ready that come April 2009, we will be in the same situation if Somaliland exists that long. Riyale listens to no body, so what guarantees do we have he will leave peacefully after a year. Those who believe so should think again that by then there may not be Somaliland presidency to fight over or constitutional articles to worry about.

 

 

 

Don’t give him the long robe to strangle Somaliland. He has already strangled the constitution of the country which is the path to our free nation. Do not give him the opportunity to remain in office and suffocate us? Is Dahir Riyale a man to be trusted? Somali Landers do not know what he has done for the country. Nothing about his actions is transparent. He has proven to be ruthless with the citizens. He gives deaf ears to the road to conflict resolution which is the one think that many Somali Landers boast has saved our country. So if he broke the constitution that has become our road to democracy, if he has given deaf ear to the conflict resolution that has brought us out of darkness and is busy only on his vision of remaining in office and dealing with the public brutally, then what evidence does anyone has that he will be loyal to our country and he will leave the office peacefully after a year. Nothing he shows us point to a merit of a man who honours his word. Somali Landers is warned. Fight him to leave office. Forget peaceful means. Arrini madax la qabtay leedahay ee mijo la qabto ma laha. Bite the bullet and take the bull by the horns. Oust him by force.

 

 

 

It he succeeds in the office after May 15th. Let everyone know that he holds the office by dictatorship and there is no democracy in Somaliland. Anyone who believes otherwise is deluding himself. That will be Goodbye Democracy, Welcome Dictatorship!

Time is Up Mister

Time is Up Mister

 

Read carefully and follow the instructions. The game is over. Be gracious, don’t over stay and develop an Exit Strategy. At best, negotiate to remain as an interim care-taker and at worst as a member of a governing coalition. The people of Somaliland were, in the first place, too generous and too forgiving to elect you, as unfit and as unqualified as you are; too patient to put up with your autocratic inclinations and peccadillo. Too bad, if it felt too short. Nothing is for ever. All good things have to come to an end. In case you didn’t get it, your time is up Mister.

 

As of today, May 16 2008, your 5 year term has expired. A minute longer is unconstitutional, so please pack up, haul out your stuff, hand-over the keys, find a good lawyer and remain silent or anything you say will be held against you in Court of Law. Resist the call and you face the consequences. What is the alternative you say, read the fine print: there is more than one way to show you the door.

 

You came from the front door with the will of the public but with the indignation of the public you would storm out at the back door hiding if you don’t heed the call

 

You have a habit of repeating like a broken record that you were elected but as of today you lost that bragging rights. What would you say now, “appointed, anointed, crowned…?”

 

You have betrayed the public trust; you have squandered the goodwill; you have jeopardized the long awaited aspiration of political recognition and the international community has given up on you by withdrawing the aid on the table. Truly, you disgraced Somaliland

 

We trust that Siiraanyo and Faisal who among them received over 58% of the vote casted would be kind enough to assist you with finding Exit Strategy to allow you hang in few more months as a goodwill gesture and charity not as a president but rather as an interim care-taker - This is your chance to safe face. Anything else would be foolish and dangerous.

 

I will leave you with Mr. Wadani Maxim

 

Murtida Maanta iyo Mr. Wadani

 

Reer Jigjiga markay Madaxdooda ka hadlayaan waxay yidhaahdaan, Madaxda maanta waa Maxaabiistii berri. Waayo, Madaxda soo marta mid aan Xilka ka dib Xabsi gelini waa yar yahay. Waxaan taa uga socdaa, horta ninna Kursi aanu ogayn in khaladka uu ku galo lagu ciqaabi doono kama kaco. Sidaa darteed, Somaliland Kursi aanay Ciqaabi ka dambayn, ayaa ishaa u yeelay, xaalkeeduna waa ku-fadhiistaa kama kaco. Markaa, [Aw] Rayaale la yaabi maayo oo xaalkiisu waa sidan waa la yeeli jiray, laakiin, waxaan leeyahay haddii la yeeli jiray, layskama yeeli jirine macnaa lagu yeeli jiraye, marinkeedii soo mar.

 

As Mr. Wadani implied PLAY BY THE RULE or PERISH. You can hold this post only through election and not by quid pro quo. Hold timely elections if you like the position so much and compete; you have the money and the machinery, what is there to fear.

General Duke, a democracy had never existed in that part of Somalia unless we are fooling ourselves.

 

A glimpse of past records of this region.

Somaliland is getting tested Insha Allah it shall pass. I have full confidence in my pupils that things will be made right as they have in the past.

 

viva Jamhuriyada...

 

As for Duke,

 

You laugh at all things bad. What gives?

 

You support that criminal puppet regime of your uncle and you seem to enjoy yourself, and now this. ma waxbaa kuu dhiman?

[General Duke]

I was laughing at the secessionists cries adeer.

Riyaale is a top man in them parts, thus why the tears and the wailing from some groups?
