The Political Stability VS. Its Instability : The Consensus Factor

[Jacaylbaro]

"It is essential to operate from an environment in which peace, and stability do prevail".

 

The divorce to the union between the then north, and the south did create some bizarre aftermaths, the most notable of which was planting millions of mines across the land, the objective of which was to restrict the masses' movements. The demolition of, and the subsequent looting of the infrastructure by the dictator's armies was also an unpleasant experience to be forgotten that easy. Everything that was gone through, in fact, was quite painful, and agonizing. The disintegration discussed did initiate, and perhaps did make two distinct but opposite parties; a hostile, and a peaceful.

 

The communities in Somaliland did realize the importance of unity, and did hold a conference after another, after their tantalizing heartbreak with the south, the one-man-show phenomenon, for a very long time.

It is also worth recalling the fact that the government did make relevant noises, in that direction, in every possible avenue, World-wide, arguing that peace, and stability do prevail here in Somaliland, a prerequisite for getting independence. And it was, in short, seeking one's positive contributions for building this young nation, whose objective was achieving substantial development.

 

The current government is doing fine. There are national policies operational in the country that can be either foreign, or domestic, both of which are actually well, and rewarding. The Somalilanders do enjoy peace, and stability, and whatever issues that comes after it is a bonus.

There are, likewise, foreign policy elements that are worth highlighting. These include the regime doing all that it could to make the country independent, and the invitations that were extended to the president interpret it. Another, and perhaps a worthwhile factor worth sharing with you, the reader, is that Dr. Condolence Rice, The Us Secretary Of State, whilst touring Kenya, for bringing the two warring parties to the round table for discussions, was, in fact, very booked. The Secretary did, however, slot some of her precious time, for the Somaliland Representative there, and in the process did see him in private, no one else, a remarkable achievement. This makes it clear that the country is on the verge of gaining independence pretty soon.

 

It is very professional, being a social policy issues analyst, to voice the public's concerns, if there are any, so that solutions are found in a way that pleases everybody. It is obvious that some addressing do need to be made, like the soaring food sales about, a problem experienced internationally. My concern does, however, lie with the opposition, who want to do things too much too fast. The time for the elections did mean that the public, without which nothing happens, are nearing now. The later is going through some critical moments, such as droughts, and the like. It is envisaged that the election issue should be postponed, something quite very difficult for the opposition to accept; a psychologist may pose a pressing question; Why this hurry?

 

We do need some law, and order to be abided by, so long as our democracy is fragile, and so long as our public did go through hell in the past. This is offered by our 'Elders' Council', 'A Sociological traditional judiciary System' that functions at the time of adversary, in the sense that problems are about to be caused by the oppositions, who are threatening to make matters worse. And it is strongly recommended that everybody is obliged to obey it sincerely.

 

It is said that a government is for the people, by the people, to the people, the connotations of which is the public, in a democratic process, is, in fact, the government, as it elects some members on the basis of their honesty, integrity, and education. It is very meaningful to have in place some devoted, and capable members, who do shine brilliantly when it matters. The point I am making is that the government must put in place certain capable, and educated people, who can handle issues professionally, and perfectly.

 

The oppositions, by the same token, were not elected in the first place, and it is advised that they must do all ways, and means to winning the hearts, and the minds of many, many voters for themselves to end up in running the country. It is recommended for that to happen, to play an ambassadorial role towards achieving success, but not in anywhere near causing problems, and/or inconveniences to their public.

 

The government, and its opposition parties are complementary to one another. It is clearly expressed that the two should work together for the country, and for its public. But the issue, as it is now, is that the opposition is playing the devil. And it is advised that the public should intervene, and probably seek their rights of living freely, and without wars. The public, by the same token, should ensure that the government should choose capable, and educated individuals, both men, and women, for running their own affairs. This point has been dramatically displayed by some fine Somali actors, and actresses at the Somaliland Space Channel on April 17th, 2008. Everthing shown was self-explanatory. The issue is morality VS. immorality. And we got to determine who is who?. Somaliland is too young, and is probably very fragile to be interrupted. It is our utmost duties to handle everything with care, democracy included.

 

Conclusions:

 

The divorce to the then union between the north, and the south did create some bizarre aftermaths, the most notable of which was planting millions of mines across the land, the objective of which was to restrict the masses' movements.

 

The Communities in Somaliland did realise the importance of unity, and did hold a conference after another, after their tantalizing heartbreak with the south.

 

It is very professional, being a social policy issues analyst, to voice the public concerns, if there are any, so that solutions are found in ways that do please everybody.

 

The government, and its opposition parties are obviously complementary to one another, like our nine biological systems, without one living is impossible. It is strongly advised to co-work together for the public that has chosen them.

 

 

God bless Somaliland & its citizens.
