baalcade Posted February 22, 2009 Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis February 22, 2009 The worldwide financial and economic crisis proved to be a propitious event for Somalia – thus far. With the release of MV FAINA, the major Somali piracy issue took an end, and the pretext for an amphibious military operation in the area of the breakaway Puntland administration vanished. An unnecessary and terrible disaster was thus avoided. If we take into consideration what has occurred in Somalia since 1991, the development is really promising. On the other hand, following the fake Djibouti elections that reflect only partly and erratically Somalia´s realities, TFG has got a new colonial president, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who has been rejected by his own people, the Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS); still based in Asmara the ARS members in their majority supported Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, who denounced the TFG elections as an unrepresentative parody. Quite rightfully! The transformation of the patriotic ARS leader into a colonial TFG president was also discarded by the leader of the rival organization Al Shebab, Sheikh Mukhtar Robow, who controls the South. Several readers, who are familiar with my earlier support to Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, may find it difficult to believe that I describe his present political status as colonial. One has to bear in mind that pleasant words lose their value, and good intentions become a pale reminiscence, when the deeds demonstrate a different reality. I will expand greatly in several forthcoming articles, but here I am contented to merely quote the news: "AU Envoy Says Somalia's National Unity Government to Be Secular" (title of an article in the Puntland portal: http://www.garoweonline.com/artman2/publish/Africa _22/AU_Envoy_Says_Somalia_s_National_Unity_Governm ent_to_Be_Secular.shtml). From the same source I republish the following paragraphs: "The African Union special envoy to Somalia said Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed has assured him the national unity government now being formed will be secular. The head of the AU peacekeeping mission AMISOM is hailing Sheikh Sharif's rise to power as a 'big chance' for halting the insurgency that has made Somalia ungovernable for nearly two decades. Special envoy Nicholas Bwakira is appealing to the international community for sustained diplomatic and political support for efforts to establish a stable administration in Somalia. After briefing the AU Peace and Security Council, Bwakira said he had been assured by Somali President Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, a Somali cleric, that his government would not be religious. "He also indicated that ... on the matter of religion, it would be the government, the State which will outline the policy, not the clerics," he said". Who is the Christian diplomat Nicholas Bwakira to dare say to the Somalis what to do and what not to do or how to arrange their life, society, and state? Can the Burundian diplomat present in public his speeches in several Jesuit colleges allover the world whereby he has repeatedly called for the establishment of a Christian – not secular – super-state allover the world? Where is then the due patriotic Somali reaction of the otherwise honest Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed? Does he accept to implement in Somalia what his extremist Christian Jesuit mentor orders? Is this attitude not colonial? Further in the North, the recent elections in Puntland brought to power Abdirahman Mohamud Farole, who is an educated and experienced economist with a great vision that serves the noble purpose of a pacified, unified and – note this – rehabilitated Somalia. His stance against the dark deal between the Australian Oil company Range Resources and the previous Mohamud ´Adde´ Muse bears witness to President Farole´s patriotism and irreproachability. What currently remains Somalia´s most problematic territory and most corrupt regime is the Hargeisa gang of the disposable pseudo-president Riyaale, Somalia´s most loathed person. Merciless tyrant and corrupt gangster, the Somali Al Capone represents modern Somalia´s bleakest page. His tyranny brought the different northern Somali tribes to the brink of the abyss. A parody of dictatorial elections is expected to take place in North-western Somalia next March. Had free elections been organized in Somaliland, more than 95% of the local population would have wholeheartedly rejected the high traitor of Hargeisa who ridiculed Somalia because of his servility to the criminal Abyssinian dictator Zenawi. The extent of the rejection is such that even Riyaale´s party was divided in the candidate nomination "procedure". I reproduce herewith an article earlier published in the Somali portal Xogtamaanta that sheds more light in the last divisive policies and activities of the murderous dictator of Hargeisa. Soon, Somaliland will crumble, and the Northern Somalis will gain again their rightful and influential position within Somalia, thus contributing to the Horn of Africa pacification and rehabilitation. Somaliland Ruling Party Divides over Candidate Nominations http://www.xogtamaanta.com/page21.html Hargeisa, Somaliland, 06.02.09 (xogtamaanta.com) -- Somaliland's ruling party UDUB has embroiled in a nasty and politically self-destructive quarrel that exposed the intramural UDUB divisions and the bitterness that tainted the party's convention in Hargeisa. The UDUB convention was said it would last three days, but with hasty crowning of president Riyaale and his vice, as the unchallenged UDUB candidates for the upcoming presidential elections turned the convention into two days of showdown for president Riyaale, his vice, Ahmed Yusuf Yassin, and their cronies. The convention held at one of Hargeisa's prestigious banquet halls – at Maansoor hotel was staged as a coalescing event for Riyaale for his bid to run for the second term, but influential party members and heavy weight elites barred competing with president Riyaale were left outside and deprived both their constitutional and party member rights, are calling it illegal the way the convention and nominations were conducted. Ismail Adan Osman, the former interior minister is one of the four men wanted to contest with president Riyaale at the party convention, and was the only entrant managed to attend the convention, but not allowed to challenge the staged convention that declared president Riyaale and his vice as the UDUB's only candidates. "What happened at the convention and the declaration of president Riyaale as uncontested candidate is fallacy and unacceptable," said Ismail Osman, who was speaking after he walked out the convention when he was stopped to challenge a notion prepared by the chairing committee which proposed to amend the UDUB constitution in favor of president Riyaale and his vice as the only candidate for the UDUB party. Abdillahi Iman Dirawal, a former health minister and two other contestants, who also wanted to contest with Riyaale, but denied to attend the convention and to contest, called the nomination of president Riyaale as 'null and void' and vowed that they will continue to challenge the candidacy of president Riyaale and his vice. "If Riyaale thinks we will abandon the UDUB party for him, we want him to know that we are staying and will challenge him within the rule of law" said Abdillahi Dirawal who was speaking at a mini convention they held simultaneously with the convention they were barred to participate on Wednesday. The hijack of the convention by Riyaale is the discernible actions that president Riyaale is not the same guy that the people elected in the last elections -- he has changed and he is now someone else," said Ismail Osman, the former right-hand man of Riyaale who is adamant for not accepting the way Riyaale was nominated. The UDUB convention and the hasty nomination of president Riyaale have revealed the rift and the division the UDUB party and its elites endured, and it will make difficult for most UDUB members to rally around the declared candidates without compromise between the two camps. The division of UDUB is also a sign of self-defeat in the next elections which three parties, including UDUB will contest in hotly worried presidential elections that each party can not afford to lose.

Mintid Farayar Posted February 22, 2009 Very amusing article. Even those who reject Somaliland's aspirations will find it hard to take this article seriously. If you oppose Somaliland, bring a compelling debate to the table not the ramblings of a madman. The title of Professor or Doctor has become so cheap among some quarters. I've believed for a long time that the so-called Professor does not exist and is simply a pseudonym for another angry, frustrated Somali Qurbaawi. Whether he exists or not, it's hard to take him seriously given his writing style of vitriol and personal attacks (straight from the high of the Mafrish).

Somali Pirate Posted February 22, 2009 the fact that our people are being ruled by a thug called riyaale says all you need to know about the state of somaliland. When people are happy to be ruled by tyranny and oppression then it's fair to say their lives will not change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baalcade Posted February 22, 2009 Here is the second part of Dr. Shamsaddin's Article. Somaliland – The Chronicles of Chaos, Fratricide Conflict, and Mafia. Part II Dr.Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis February 22, 2009 In a previous article, I reported on the recent developments throughout Somalia, indicating that the circumference of the illegal breakaway state Somaliland remains today the only chaotic territory of Somalia, thus engulfing the Northern Somalis in insecurity, strife, anarchy and – last but not least – underdevelopment. The Hargeisa gang around Riyaale, supported by the historical enemies of Somalia, the barbaric and lewd Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic (Tewahedo) Abyssinians, has to be removed from the power by any possible means. It would therefore be essential for the patriotic Somali leaders, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, Sheikh Mukhtar Robow, the TFG President and Prime Minister, Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed and Omar Abdirashid Sharmarke, and the Puntland President Farole to put aside all their differences and stretch a hand of support and communication to the Kulmiye Party leader, Ahmed Silanyo, who as Somali patriot opposed with great commitment and unparalleled dignity Riyaale´s corrupt and perfidious policies and practices. In fact, nowadays, the old times´ tribal differences are viewed by the majority of the Somalis of all backgrounds as secondary and indicative of the Somali diversity and cultural wealth. The Northern Somalis deserve an act from the part of all the rest, a gesture that will show compassion and solidarity, and a sign that all the Somalis can start together the great effort for the rehabilitation of Somalia. An alliance among all the patriotic Somalis is possible, and it will trigger the collapse of the criminal Riyaale Mafia within hours. I republish here integrally an article written by an astute Somali commentator who knows the Hargeisa gangster very well; well enough to describe him as ´devil´. This shows the extent of the disintegration of the Hargeisa regime that is predestined to fall apart very soon. Working with the Devil (President Dahir Riyaale) By Nasir Xaaj Ciise http://www.longlivesomaliland.com/working_with_the _devil_Dahir_Riyaale_By_Nassir_Xaaji_Ciise.htm Hadhwanaag 2009-02-07 (Hadhwanaagnews) To work and share the same beliefs and ideologies is the worst action that a decent person can do with someone who is a completely evil person. Therefore to work with Riyaale is like working with the devil. President Riyaale is the most evil person in Somaliland, he bribes and divides our people, he also spreads injustice and discrimination amongst his own nation. He is an unjust ruler, a prejudice dictator and an authoritarian president. All his cabinet are his puppets, he makes the lives of our citizens unbearable and the situation in Somaliland is becoming a catastrophe. There is no lively hood left for the ordinary folks and the condition is really dire. The president has done nothing since he was in power except mismanagement and the wide spread of corruption. There is a vacuum of mismanagement and the people have lost hope in their government that is why many young people in Somaliland are getting radicalised and are being recruited by radical Islamist groups, while the rest of our younger generation are choosing 'the journey of death' in to Europe and the West. I want to tell the rest of my people and the international community that our President has lost all sense of mankind and he wants to stay in power for as long as can, he will try all sorts of tricks to remain powerful willing to use all the resources of his country to bribe his henchmen who are against democracy and justice so they will facilitate him to remain in power. President Riyaale was a bad person who served under the regime of Mohammed Syiad Bare and Mohammed Ibrahim Ciqaal and he will always be and evil person. His most powerful weaponry is corruption and imprisonment of innocent citizens. It is now or never to stop this evil, enough is enough to suffer! Therefore we have to elect the right person and show the president and his dirty politicians that the people have power and we have to stand together in the day of election and participate and join the different political groups. Somaliland needs a president who can inspire and guide the people in the right way during these difficult times. We need someone who can visualise the future; we do not need someone who is stuck in the present situation. What are needed for good governance are people with a clean reputation and the ability to perform. Riyaale is a puppet for the enemy of Somaliland and he will do anything that they want for a few thousand dollars so he can bribe our people. He always builds conflict amongst his own people to divide them so he can rule them the way he likes. We have to remove this parasite in a democratic way even if you do not like the other parties to win because it just causes more conflict; he only listens to Cawil who is a completely destructive man. My people our economy is hobbling, our democracy and freedom have also been vanished and Somaliland is in a state of limbo which is a covered black cloud of political quagmire; the entire system is nearly collapsing and we have lost the basic necessities such as freedom of speech and equal justice etc. I do not believe that our current president is capable to turn this situation around, how can we trust someone who even refuses any other candidate from his own party to take part in the coming presidential elections? He even intimidates those who dare to challenge him, plus any hotel owners who allow other political member to organise a meeting will face a hash punishment and their licence will he revoked. How can this be allowed to happen in a so called democratic and Islamic country? Riyaale is simply following in the foot steps of Mohammed Siyad Bare and he will pay the consequences sooner or later. I hope Somaliland will be free again and there will be equal justice under the law. Source Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedSea Posted February 23, 2009 Guys seriously there is gotta be some type of research to make sure it's really him who writes this stuff. I don't think a non somali would dedicate his precious time on something that really doesn't concern him much. You'd think that he would write one or two articles or even if he wrote this; someone with such title would remain objective rather than resorting to smear attacks against somaliland. I'm stunned at level of hate-mongering that this loser (if that is really him) feeds to his audience, who in turn are naive and misinformed as much as he is. What do people intend to accomplish by posting this piece of cow dung is beyond me. Somalilandeey Allow ku daa! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
