In The Name Of Allah The Merciful and Beneficient

 

In The Name of God I swear that I will discharge faithfully all my duties as the Interim President, All my strength will be focused in the interest of the people, country and that I will abide by the Charter, and Laws of the land of the Somali Republic.

 

My name is ALI HASSAN ABDI AMALO, and I am running for the Interim Presidency of Somalia Republic to restore the hope of dying country. I stand before you today to ask for your support. You might be asking why someone who had spent the past 20+ years in the United States and had the opportunities to pursue a comfortable life would want to run for the position of Presidency in Somalia? Brothers and Sisters the answer is very simple, there has been a more than 14 reconciliation conference without any tangible results, and In fact the number of innocent civilians killed has been on the rise after each reconciliation conference. I have seen too many of my people suffering, too many were killed and too many have lost hope that one day they will live in a decent life. Apart from the moral obligation I owe to my people to help them live in a decent and peaceful life, Apart from the moral obligation as a citizen of this motherland to run for an office.

 

The major reason I am running for the office of President is I can not be a spectator to the destruction of my people and my motherland. If you have witnessed what happened in Somali the last 13 years, civil strive, terrorism, failed un humanitarian missions and unrecognized governments, then you will agree with me that Somalia needs a fresh start. As a Chairman/Political Leader of Alternative Leadership Association, with my team we have set forth plan that will lead Somalia out of the current hopeless situation. We hope to achieve the creation of a Federal, Broad-Based, Provisional, Transitional or Interim Government. A government under my administration will not follow an Ambiguous course of Agenda, which is based on Corruption, Nepotism and Tribalism. Also my administration will modernize and up-grade the existing system of government, the challenges of Demobilization and child soldiers, difficulties faced by tens of thousands internally displaced persons (IDP). Judicial System, Law Enforcement and Prison conditions in Somalia by emphasizing the rule of Law and Due process, it will incorporate respect for Human life, Human Rights (No Lasting Peace without Human Rights). The Rights of Women, Children, the Freedom of Press, Minorities and other vulnerable groups, Also unconditional respect for private and public properties by educating the Somali youth and society at large. Peace will be achieved by consensus and mutual respect ideas of Democracy and Freedom. We will also promote Social Rights, Free Market Reform and Liberalization of the Economy. Promote poverty reduction and to reform the Health Care, Health Education and Community participation that will increase accessibility to adequate diagnosis regardless of Financial, Social or Gender status and such reduce the high mortality rate due to TB and Malaria in Somalia as well as reducing of drug resistant disease due to incorrect treatment. Re-conciliation and disarmament of all armed civil group in the country to settle all disputes by dialogue instead of the gun. This vicious cycle, escalation of violence and deterioration in security must stop.

 

 

To achieve the above mentioned process will need great amount of resources, hard work and input. Brothers and Sisters I will share with you in the coming future my agenda called Rebuilding Our Nation. I will ask you to read it thoroughly. It will cover all aspects of Government Administrative Policy. Please note my Government will not seek handouts from other Countries. However, we will seek the assistance of International Financial Institution such as World Bank, IMF, Islamic Bank and the United Nations, as they have moral obligation to offer us assistance (we will not ask them loan), once we establish our Financial Institutions and stand on our feet then we will present our Fiscal plan accordingly.

 

Finally, we will work against terrorists and other insurgent elements and Extremist Organizations. Promote partnership with the Country’s various regions, Establishment of Harmonious relations with neighbouring Countries. Free circulation of people and goods and functioning of the main infrastructure in the Country such as the Port and Airport in the Capital Mogadishu. I honestly believe if my plans are implemented, we will be able to have our Decency and Nationhood back. One of the greatest President William Jefferson Clinton 42nd President of United States says in his Inaugural Address, "This is our time. Let us embrace it." I believe this is Somalia’s moment; we will build a foundation of prosperity and possibility. I am committed to continue working with all Somalia. The greatest responsibility of any Government is to ensure the Security of its Citizens. On behalf of all Somali Communities in the world I would like to thank International Communities, IGAD, specially front line states, AU, EU, UN, United States and Arab League for their positive vision of a better future for every Somalian by helping them to stand on their feet again. I will conclude my letter by quoting of Imam Ali "There is No greater Wealth than Wisdom; No greater poverty than Ignorance, No greater Heritage than Culture and No greater Friend and Helpmate than Consultation." May God Bless Somalia and this Eventful Task on Our Agenda.

 

Yours truly,

Anigoo ka damqanaayo dhibaatooyinka maanta na haysta gaar ahaan dowlad la’aanta, ayan go’aansaday in aan isu soo sharxo madaxweynanimada si aan arintaa wax uga qabto. Aragtidayda siyaasadeed ee xagga arrimaha gudaha ku wajahan waa sida tan:

 

Dhisada dowlad loo dhan yahay.

Soo celinta ammaanka iyo kala danbeynta.

Sameynta guddi qarameedyada ku xusan dastuurka ku meelgaar ah.

Soo celinta kaabayasha dhaqaalaha iyo adeegga bulshada.

Dib u dejinta qaxootiga.

Dib u habeynta sharuucda wadanaka.

Dhisada xarumo lagu caawiyo dadka tabaaleysan.

Xanaanada deegaanka.

 

 

Markay sii kororto isu soo dhawanshaha waddamada, mudnaanta siyaasadda dibedda waa sii ballaarataa gaar ahaan dhamaanshihii dagaalka qaboobaa ka dib. Siyaasada dibadda waxay taabataa wax walbo oo aan sameyno laga bilaabo shaqooyinkeena ilaa waxa aan cuno. Arrimaha aan culayska saarayo xaga arimaha dibada waxa ka mid ah:

 

Horumarinta nabadda caalamka gaar ahaan midda geeska Afrika.

La dagaallanka danebiyada caalamiga.

La shaqeeynta ururrada caalamiga.

Horumarinta xaquuqda dadka.

Horumarinta dhaqaalaha aduunka.

Soo jiidashada maalgelin shisheeye.

U helida suuq waxyaabaha aan dhoofino.

 

 

Prof Aweys Mohamed Wasuge

 

Dagaalkii sokeeye ee dalkeenna ka dhacay waxay sababeen dil badan, qaxooti, burbur ku yimaado hay’adihii dowladda iyo adeegga bulshada, kaabayaashii ilaha dhaqaalaha iyo degaanka. Dagaalkaas waxa kale oo uu keenay sharaf dhac ku timaado Soomalida gaar ahaan beesha caalamka. Waxyaabaha uu keenay waxa ka mid ah: Dadka Soomaliyeed ee waddanka gudihiisa qaxootiga ku ahaa 2001 waa 300,000. kuwa wadamada deriska ku ah qaxootiga waa 250,000. kuwa qaxootiga ku ah wadamada kale waxay ka badan yihiin 1 malyan oo qof. Deynta waddankeena lagu lee yahay waa $2.6 billion. Celcelis ahaan qofka Soomaliga ah waxa uu nooladaa 47 sano taana waxa keenay colaadda iyo cudurrada. 200,000 ee qof waxa ku soo aaday in ka yar 1 dhaqtar. Dadka waaweyn ee wax aqriya waxa lagu qiyaasaa 17.1% halka dadka Kenyatiga ay ka yihiin 81.5%.

 

The civil war in our country has resulted numerous losses of human lives, mass migration, the destruction of political institutions, social and economic infrastructure. Furthermore, it has led Somalis to indignities especially in the eyes of the international community. To name some of the misfortunate that the civil brought are: In 2001, internally displaced people were estimated to be 300,000. Somali refugees in neighbuoring countries were believed to be 250,000. The Somali Diaspora was thought to be over 1 million. Somali’s debt was $2.6 billion. Life expectancy was calculated to be 47 years. Adult literacy was 17.1% vis-à-vis the adult literacy of Kenya was 81.5%.

 

Having seen the suffering that we are in especially the absence of a government, I decided to run for the forthcoming presidential election of Somali in order to address the statelessness that we become so notorious since 1991. On the domestic political front, my are of focus will encompass but not confined to:

 

Establishing all-inclusive government.

Reintroducing law and order

Naming the National Committees mentioned in the Transitional Charter.

Bringing back the economic and social infrastructure.

Resettling the refugees.

Modernizing of our laws.

Setting up centres for the disadvantaged people.

Protecting the environment.

 

 

As the interdependence among the countries increases, the momentousness of a sound foreign policy grows especially after the cold war. It governs everything from the jobs we do to the food we eat. On the foreign political front, my area of focus will cover but not limited to:

 

Promoting international security particularly East Africa.

Fighting against international crime.

Collaborating international organisations.

Fostering human rights.

Boosting global economy.

Attracting foreign investment.

Finding market for our exports.
