Somalia’s government has signed a peace agreement with the militant group, Ahlu Sunna Wal-jamaca (ASWJ.)

 

This agreement comes before the Transitional Government launches an expected military offensive against the hardliner militant group, Al-Shabab.

 

Sheikh Mohamed Dahir Hefow, the militia’s leader, signed the deal with Somali Finance Minister Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden at a ceremony held at the African Union’s headquarters in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa. This deal offers the militant group senior government positions in return for their military support against Al-shabab and Hizbul Islam. The agreement gives the Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea militia five cabinet positions as well as diplomatic posts and senior positions within the police and intelligence services.

 

Ahlu Sunna Wal-jamaca holds several towns and districts in central Somalia. The weak U.N.-backed government barely clings to a few blocks of the capital of Mogadishu with the support of more than 6,000 African Union peacekeepers.The signing of this Agreement comes one year into the tenure of the Transitional Government, which promised to reach out to all Somali factions.

 

Al-Shabab, which professes loyalty to al-Qaeda, has been fighting the UN-backed transitional government since 2007. They control much of southern and central Somalia.

 

Somalia’s Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke said at the signing ceremony that the deal was part of a larger reconciliation plan. “With this agreement, the government of Somalia and Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea have taken an essential step in the strategy toward restoring peace and stability to our beloved country,’’ he said. “It is a victory for peace and a cursed defeat for spoilers and extremist groups.’’

 

Analysts say Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea militants have long enjoyed Ethiopian support, receiving money and weapons in return for trying to stop Somali Islamists from crossing the long, porous border into Ethiopia, where ethnically Somali rebels are fighting against Ethiopia’s government.

The TFG has also "long enjoyed Ethiopian support, receiving money and weapons". Xiin, this looks more like Ethiopia consolidating its proxies than Somalis making peace. No?

[xiinfaniin]

I didn't know script can ask questions.

 

Edit:

Castro, do you object this armed group joining the TFG?

[Maaddeey]

^that tells u, u were wrong all over, Yaa 'Shaykh'?

dee sharif wixi ku so kordha ba wa kheyr ileen inti u xilka hayey wuxun ba ka dhacayeye marka waan fahmi kara why he says wa guul, hadu qarameeyey qoladii gobolada dhexe haystey eeh xadreynayey

They were always on the same side. It would be 'guul' is he managed to get AlShabab or Hezbu El Islam to sign an agreement with him.

Somali government signs deal with militia

Agreement offers senior government positions in return for militant support

 

The Associated Press

updated 1:31 p.m. CT, Mon., March. 15, 2010

MOGADISHU, Somalia - Somalia's government signed an agreement with a powerful militia on Monday that offers high-level militants senior government positions in return for their military support during a long-planned offensive against an Islamist insurgency.

 

The agreement gave the Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea militia five ministries as well as diplomatic posts and senior positions within the police and intelligence services.

 

The militia holds several towns and districts in central Somalia. The weak U.N.-backed government barely clings to a few blocks of the capital of Mogadishu with the help of more than 6,000 African Union peacekeepers.

 

The government came under attack by insurgents again on Monday as both sides traded mortar and machine gun fire after the president returned from Dubai. Casualty figures were not immediately available. Scores were killed in fighting last week.

 

Sheikh Mohamed Dahir Hefow, the militia's head, signed the deal with Somali finance minister Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden at a ceremony held at the African Union's headquarters in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.

 

Part of a larger reconciliation plan

Somalia's Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke said at the signing ceremony that the deal was part of a larger reconciliation plan.

 

"With this agreement, the government of Somalia and Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea have taken an essential step in the strategy towards restoring peace and stability to our beloved country," he said. "It is a victory for peace and a cursed defeat for spoilers and extremist groups."

 

Analysts say Ahlu-sunah Wal-jamea have long enjoyed Ethiopian support, receiving money and weapons in return for trying to stop Somali Islamists from crossing the long, porous border into Ethiopia, where ethnically Somali rebels are already fighting against Ethiopia's government.

 

Several residents of areas where moderate Islamists hold power welcomed the deal, but political analyst Issa Abdulahi warned of internal power struggles hurting the deal.

 

"This will militarily boast the government and will help (the militia) get wider support in their fight against (the insurgency)," Abdulahi said. "But it would be another problem if (militia) members disagree within themselves, when it comes to sharing the ministerial ranks."

 

The militia was active in the 1990's but grew prominent in 2008 after Somalia's traditional Sufis were angered by the destruction of the tombs of their saints by hardline Islamists.

 

 

Ethiopia sent troops into Somalia in 2006 to topple the Islamists but withdrew a year ago amid concerns their presence was only fueling the conflict. Both Ethiopia and its archenemy Eritrea have repeatedly been accused of using Somalia to fight a proxy war.

 

Somalia, which has not had a central government for 19 years, is split not only between the Islamists and the government but also freelance clan militias.

 

Underscoring the difficulties, the same day the agreement was signed a senior militia official, Sheik Hassan Qoryoley, denounced it, saying there had not been enough consultation. He objected to a section that called for integrating the group's fighters into government forces.

^They had a common Enemy , but never were on the same side, lest one looks it from the perpective of those who're hijacking the nation through Islamic terror.

 

Same thing goes for Ethiopia and the TFG. That Ethiopia have its ulterior motives regarding Somalia should never be something we react to and judge each other on, since it's constantly always there, neither should we accuse often those of us who happen to become Ehthiopia's favored enemy, given that we all are it's enemy.

 

Ethiopia's favored Somali entity is the Hargeisa entity and long as I'm concerned it's meaningless accusing Hargeisa of less patriotism on that ground alone.

NGONGE, ma heshiiskaad diidantahay?

 

Castro?

[Castro]

^^^ My objection is unimportant so I won't even make it. How long do you think before a group within Ahlul Sunna will splinter off and either join the Shabaab or go on their own?

 

Just look at the landscape we have in our "beloved" country:

 

TFG: Incompetence redefined

Ahlul Sunna: Opportunistic clansmen

Shabaab: Suicidal maniacs

Puntland government: Organized criminals

Somaliland government: Puppet separatists

 

This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

[Che -Guevara]

Another Khilaaf coalition

[xiinfaniin]

Castro, those types of sweeping generalizations do not reflect actual realities on the ground.

 

TFG is a reasonable political arrangement that could be improved. At this point it does not matter why certain factions exist or their motivation. As long they are willing to compromise and work toward the larger goal of settling Somali conflict we ought to welcome them.

 

Somaliland government is separatist, alshabaab is a suicidal group but describing Puntland government as ‘organized criminals’ is a crime.

[Castro]

^^^^ Perhaps saying the whole Puntland government is a generalization. How about the leadership? You do see my point though. This ship has too many holes to sail.
