President Siilaanyo: one year in power

Posted on 24/06/2011 in Special Report

Nearly it is now one year; from the day the people of Somaliland went in the Ballot-boxes in order to cast their votes enthusiastically.

 

26th June 2010 was a D-Day which presidential elections held in Somaliland have been peacefully concluded, which the Kulmiye party lead by the current president of Somaliland Mr. Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud Siilaanyo has won 49.59% votes from his nearest rival the UDUB party which got 33.23% of votes cast and although his competitor Mr. Dahir Rayale Kahin and his party claimed that there were vote rigging and fraud of the Ballot boxes, however he accepted the final outcome announced by Somaliland National Electoral commission (NEC). This was a brave and courageous decision made by the former president Mr.Rayale and his party and issued a statement that his party accepted the verdict of the people and saved the country from sinking into a state of anarchy and chaos. The transfer of power went peacefully as hoped and this was also a genuine stride taken in the right direction. Nevertheless, the question that is circulating in everyone’s mind is to what extent that President Siilaanyo and his Kulmiye party achieved during one year in office?

 

Does he really live up to his campaign promises?

 

What has been changed from the situation of the country during the course of one year?

 

Let me glimpse back at the early days after Siilaanyo became the “The Fourth President of the republic of Somaliland.”

 

Somalilanders were excited and kept their hopes and ambitions alive when Kulmiye party defeated their main rival UDUB party which was in power for eight years and the people of Somaliland became sick and tired of the empty and broken promises made by the former administration. Despite the obvious disappointments as well as disillusionment, it is not doom and gloom for Somaliland people but revived their current ruling party will honor their commitments and pledges made in the presidential elections.

 

The news of appointing twenty Ministers and six deputy Ministers were greeted with wild jubilations and the excitement reached fever pitch as they came to know the small based government compared to thirty ministers and eleven assistants appointed by the former president.

 

Mr. Siilaanyo had repeatedly made commitments in the wake of his victory to form an effective and small based government, most of the people he had lines up as members of his new cabinet were seen as bunch of qualified enough running smoothly to their portfolios in this new born government.

 

Expectations were high since the president came to power through one man one vote, he brought on board a bunch of honest and qualified people to replace the corrupt and incompetent officials who dominated Somaliland’s top governmental posts over the past years.

 

President Sillaanyo embarked on a mission of developing close mutual ties with neighboring countries and he kicked off with his first trip to overseas with Djibouti in which he was given a hero’s welcome.

 

There is alarge mass of Somaliland people based Djibouti who did everthinh they could to receive their president with enthusiasm and jubilation.

 

Mr. Siilaanyo met his Djiboutian counterpart Mr. Ismail Omar Gelle and discussed the bilateral relations between the two countries. President Gelle gave the go ahead of setting up Somaliland representative office In Djibouti

 

And this was seen as a step of healing the rift between the two nations.

 

The president also toured Ethiopia and there he met with Ethiopian premiere Mr. Meles Zenawi and discussed of ways and means of improving the bilateral ties be it Security, trade, and terrorism.

 

Courts and Judiciary system

 

Although not effective, Mr. Siilaanyo made changes to the Judiciary system after issuing a presidential decree in which he dismissed Judges and nominated others to ensure that the country gets an honest and fair judiciary system. This was a bold move in which the president took.

 

Foreign Policy

 

As we know that our foreign policy is based on strengthening ties neighboring countries, regional and international organizations in order to explain our cause in a way that would bring us international support.

 

During this one year in office, there were many high level delegations that visited Somaliland. The last was the Minister for Cooperation and European Affairs for Holland Mr. Ben Knapen.

 

Somaliland foreign Minister Mr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar attended high level meetings.

 

President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamud siilaanyo made his first reshuffle in his administration, almost one year after he was elected as the country’s leader for the next five years. The president recently delivered a speech to Somaliland Parliament and the senate in which he officially announced that the formation of political parties is open to Somaliland citizens.

So far So Good .............

[NGONGE]

He started strongly then came to a stand still in the past few months. Lets hope he doubles up in the coming year for (just) more of the same is not going to be good enough.

[Alpha Blondy]

the only thing silanyo has achieved thus far is this gimmick known as national cleaning day. it started off well but i haven't seen any cleaning recently. under his leadership the country is not secure, inflation is too high, his policy of granting contracts is based on nepotism, the bridge was started by the riyaale regime. all too often, politcal parties in SL have been too keen on self-determination and the elusive recognition diatribe, kulmiye should focus on achieving practical results and economic change.

 

i've heard he has severe arthritis and president in name only. a group of his cronies, including the political incompetent hersi and the aviation minister practically run the country. his foreign policy is disastrous, his ministers have no deference towards him. his handling of the crises in the east was pathetic. all in all, a decent start but more delivery needed than silly western-styled gimmicks. kulmiye seem to practices the politics of personality, there appears to be no substances and tangible results achieved so far.

 

silanyo is looking for a legacy, the position of president is too small for him and i wouldn't be surprised if he did something controversial

 

udub is regrouping and we'll see how kulmiyes ambivalent policies towards political associations manifests...
