Awdal News Editorial: Celebrating 14 Years of Resilience, Thriving Democracy And World Negligence

 

On the 18th of May 2005, Somaliland celebrates the 14th anniversary of restoring its sovereignty as it emerged from the wreckage of the former Somali Republic and rose like a phoenix from the ashes of destruction, mass graves and immense human suffering.

 

Throughout these years Somaliland survived on a will of steel and inherent resilience despite the enormous challenges it faced due to the stonewalling of its legitimate issue by the international community. Upon returning home after a devastating war of annihilation on the 18th of May 1991, the people of Somaliland, or former British Protectorate, acted quickly to build their country and their homes, nurse their wounds, restore their pride and above all reclaim their national identity after 30 years of living with a borrowed personality.

 

Depending on their own meager resources, their strong determination for survival, their unflinching faith in their cause and their unfathomable optimism for a bright future, they embarked on the arduous journey of reconstruction and reassertion; reconstruction of their country and reassertion of their nationhood. On its 14th anniversary today, Somaliland prides itself on building one of the most thriving democracies in Africa with a multi party system, press freedom, burgeoning market economy and an atmosphere of peace, stability and social harmony.

 

With the parliamentary elections slated to take place on the 15th September 2005 as the victory lap of its democratization endeavor, Somaliland stands as a prime example of what people can do for themselves without relying on foreign handouts and condescending lectures on reforms and democracy. Somaliland's home-grown peace and democracy are, however, a slap in the face of the International Community, particularly African and Arab countries, which are for the 14th time trying to breathe life into the dead body of the former Somalia, while turning away from the accomplishments of the people of Somaliland.

 

As actions always speak louder than words, it seems the African Union is finally waking up to the reality of Somaliland and beginning to see the other side of the coin after reaping frustration after frustration with its efforts to bring peace and reconciliation in Somalia. There is no argument that the AU fact-finding mission that recently visited Somaliland has seen and touched the people's sentiment and quest for nationhood and their unshakable determination to stay on course despite the enormity of the economic, social and political challenges they face. By coming out in their thousands to the streets of Hargeisa, Berber, Burao and Borama the people have shown the AU mission that Somaliland is here to stay and the world community has to live with it. They have shown that Somalilanders are ready to prove to the world that their resolve will outlast all walls of silence.
