Our Country Today: The President Fired the Governor of Togdheer For Refusing To Block A Demonstration

The Governor of Togdheer Region Mr. Abdi Hussein Dheere was quickly stripped of his position immediately after a huge demonstration in which the people of Togdheer were protesting against the unilateral decision of the Guurti was held in Burao today. Large numbers of people gathered in front of the old KULMIYE regional office in a joint demonstration organized by KULMIYE and UCID parties. They have shown their frustration with the decision and chanted slogans against the decision and that they will not accept it. Present in the demonstration were Mr. Abdi Hussein Dheere, the Governor of Togdheer region and the Chief of Police. In a press release, the speaker for the President’s office blamed the Governor for failing to do his job properly. Mr. Abdi Hussein Dheere was ordered to transfer power to Mr. Jama Abdullahi Warsama and asked the Ministry of Interior to facilitate this transfer as soon as possible.

The Governor of Togdheer and the Chief of Police were present at the demonstration and it believed that he refused to block the people’s demonstration and that is why he lost his job.

What Is Behind the Furry of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Somaliland ?

The administration of Dahir Riyale is furious over the decision of the EU delegation and other donor countries. That in their recent visit to Somaliland they have supported the NEC and political parties in their agreement to hold national elections on time and their worry over the impasse created by the unilateral decision of the Guurti (House of Elders) have made the Minister upset and confused.

Mr. Abdullahi Mohamed Dualeh while commending the Guurti for their unilateral decision to extend the President’s term of office has also condemned the EU delegation and other donor countries like Britain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the United States of America for their decision to agree with the NEC and the political parties calling the delegation problem makers. Mr. Abdullahi is particularly furious over the interview they have given at the airport in which they have expressed concern over the extension of President’s term, and that the delegation failed to meet the Guurti (House of Elders). In an angry tone, Mr. Dualeh threatened to complain about the delegation. Insisting that the delegation supported only the Commission and the political parties, he reiterated how sorry and upset the administration was over their decision and that Riyale’s administration is going to complain to the EU and donor countries who are now conferring with the delegation. ‘He will tell the EU and donor countries that their delegation created problems for us and they (EU and donor countries) will be responsible for any consequences.’

Mr. Dualeh concluded his angry remarks that ‘we are going to tell them (EU and donor countries ) that if you are dictating the terms of the little help you offer us then you can keep it and we can live without it.’

PS. The delegation’s purpose was to participate in the ceremony of the agreement reached among the political parties and the National Election Commission and to make sure that elections happen on time. The purpose of the mission that Abdullahi Mohamed Dualeh seems to misunderstand is to help the democratization process not to help dictatorship. He is mad at the EU delegation for not endorsing the extension.

The other thing that Mr. Abdullahi Mohamed Dualeh seems to contradict himself is this: On the hand he wants us to believe that Dhair Riyale extension is legitimized through the constitution because the country is in a state of emergency but on the other hand he is furious over a statement made that the peace in Somaliland is on a shaky ground. Which one is true? If the country’s peace is not threatened then how is Dahir Riyale’s extension explained.

Press Release:Expatriate Community of Somaliland Statement

Press Release

Expatriate Community of Somaliland Statement

April 12, 2008

Over the years the Somaliland expatriate community has been instrumental in supporting initiatives on towards democratization, self-determination and recovery undertaken by the fledgling state for the past 17 years. In the past, this has manifested itself in a number of ways including;

• Both high-level and root based support towards the cause of obtaining recognition for a Republic of Somaliland built on a foundation of rule of law, accountability (including government), protection of civilians and the freedom of expression.

• Peaceful mediation and reconciliation: the wider expatriate community has been involved in a number of initiatives aimed at ensuring dialogue between all relevant stakeholders, including on the importance of ensuring compliance with constitutional mandates and responsibilities on the political front.

In this context, the Expatriate Community categorically rejects and deplores the unlawful unilateral decision taken by Somaliland’s House of Elders (The Guurti) to extend the Presidential term by one year on Thursday, 10 April.

The Expatriate Community views this extremely fractious decision taken by the Guurti as jeopardizing the peace, stability and security of the fledgling state. Moreover, given the full agreement between the National Electoral Commission and all three parties of the State – the decision had no basis. The very legitimacy of the Guurti remains in question given the unconstitutional and controversial extension of mandate given to them unilaterally by President upon the expiration of their term of office last year.

Following the recent reports of explosions in Hargeisa, the Expatriate Community also urges all vested parties to engage in a full and transparent dialogue, including at the appropriate level by the International Community. At the same time, unfounded and uncorroborated allegations being leveled at various actors, including the opposition parties of the state should stop immediately.

Specific Recommendations

1. Government Responsibility: President Dahir Riyaale Kahin and his administration must fully obey the will of the people of Somaliland, its constitution and laws, and peacefully relinquish power upon the expiration of their term on May 15, 2008.

A reckless disregard of both the will of the people and the rule of law will have very grave and serious consequences destabilizing the very existence of Somaliland and squandering any remaining hopes for international recognition.

2. Rule of Law: The Government must fully comply with the Rule of Law, including its obligations under international law to ensure appropriate access to justice and fair trial. Specifically, we urge the government to release all political detainees incarcerated over past several days on unfounded allegations, including for expressing opposition to the recent Guurti decision.

Any further escalation of tactics aimed at silencing democratic freedom of expression, including summarily detaining political opposition members (or other innocent civilians), members of the press and propagation of false accusations, will expedite the ongoing deterioration of the overall environment and will lead to the downfall of this increasingly oppressive regime.

3. Civil Disobedience: We urge the people of Somaliland to exercise their full rights and vigorously oppose this attempt at unlawful usurpation of power through any peaceful means at their disposal. This may include orderly and peaceful mass demonstrations, civil disobedience/sit-ins, refusal to pay taxes or other Government levies – until such a time as the will of the people is respected.

4. International/Donor Support: Building on the recent discussions between the political parties, the electoral commission and representatives of the donor community, the international/donor community must immediately mobilize high-level political support towards opening appropriate dialogue and mediation. Given the significant leverage wielded by the donor community, including through the provision of financial and diplomatic support, much can be achieved through timely and targeted interventions at the appropriate levels.

Axmed-Siilaanyo iyo Faysal Cali-waraabe oo ku Hanjabay in aanay Rayaale Kaga Habrin Doonin Xabbad iyo Xabsi Toona

April 14th, 2008 [News] |

“Rayaalow xabsi baad sheegaysaa haddaad xabbad la dhacdo raggan horaad isu soo marteen oo rag xabbad iyo xabsi kaaga gabanaaya maaha ee wax alla waxaad la hadhaa yey jirine soo daa”Axmed-Siilaanyo

“Madaxa isuma kaayo xidhi kartid, Maxamed Siyaad Barre ayaa isugu kaayo xidhi waayey, Sheekh Bilisaa na fali kari waayey ama Libaax soo qal ama Waraabe soo qaloo nama qabto annaga sixirku”

Faysal Cali-waraabe

Hargeysa (Jam)- Guddoomiyeyaasha axsaabta mucaaradka UCID iyo KULMIYE, ayaa ku hanjabay in aanay Madaxweyne Rayaale kaga habran doonin xabbad iyo xabsi toona, isla markaana aannu waxba kaga qaadi karin fal iyo sixir toona.

Guddoomiyeyaasha mucaaradka oo ka hadlayey shir-jaraa’id ay shalay ku caddeeyeen mowqifkooda ku wajahan xaaladaha ku gedaaman qabsoomidda doorashooyinka, iyagoo Md. Axmed Siilaanyo iyo Md. Faysal Cali si adag uga afeef dhigteen tallaabo kasta oo Md. Rayaale ku doonayo in uu ku meel-marsado go’aanka muddo-kordhinta Guurtida oo ay ku tilmaameen sharci-darro iyo arrimo kale oo dhawr ah.

Ugu horreyn Md. Faysal Cali Waraabe oo tusaalaynaya hab-dhaqanka Rayaale iyo xukuumaddiisa ee muddada shanta sanno ahayd dalka ka wadeen waxa uu yidhi; “Shanta sannadood ee aynu qaadanay dimuqraadiyadda dhibaatada iyo boobka ku dhacay dalkeena soddonkii sanno ee Koonfurtu dalka xukumaysay kumu dhicin, waxaas oo dhan waanu arkaynay baddii baa la leefay, berigii baa la leefay oo shilin baa inagu dhegtay, dawladdii waxay noqotay shillin aan doonayn inay dadka wax u qabato, intaa waxaannu la sugaynayn in waqtiga doorashadu yimaaddo oo ay doorasho xalaal ahi dhacdo, tiina waxaynu aragnaa in wax caqliga ka weyn la keenay oo la yidhi 25 oday oon waxna akhriyin waxna qorin oo iyagu distoorba aan ku jirin ee ku jira xeer-dhaqameedkii, distoorkeenuna waxa uu sheegayaa in hay’ad kasta la soo doorto oo hay’ad aan la soo doorani ka hawlgalayn waddanka. Waxa uu caqligu ina siin waayey 25 oday in la yidhaa ummaddaa dhan ee saddexda milyan iyo badhka ah ayey u goynayaan masiirkeeda oo ay u talinayaan, wax caqliga galena maaha, anigu iyaga lama yaabsani, laakiin ka ka rumaysanaya Xaaji Cabdi wuxuu kuu gooyo ayaad ku socon doontaa ayaan la yaabsanahay.

Dalkan waa la dhacay, waa la boobay shacbi masaakiin ah weeye oo qabyaaladii kala jebisay, koodii xumaa ama wasiirkii xumaa markaad la hadasho ayaa lagu odhanayaa waar reer hebel maxaad ula hadashay. Qofku hadduu ummadda xoolaheeda ku tagrifalo wuxuu doono ha ahaadee waxa xaq loogu leeyahay in la sheego waxa uu sameeyey, cid naga mamnuucaysaa ma jirto in aannu ka hadalno cidda ku tagrifalaysa ummadda xoolaheeda. Waxaannu sheegaynaa haddii aan la joojin waxyaabahaa Madaxtooyada dhexdeeda ka socda in aannu soo bandhigi doono waxyaabo badan oo aannu qarinayno.”

Eng. Faysal Cali waxa uu sheegay oo kale in aanay dhibaatada xukuumaddu wadaa ku koobnayn intaas oo kaliya, laakiin dalku uu af-duuban yahay, isla markaana uu Madaxweyne Rayaale khiyaamo ku doonayo inuu muddada ku koradhsado. Isaga oo arrintaa ka hadlayeyna waxa uu yidhi; “Maanta arrintu Guurti ma taagna ee dalkii dhammaa ayaa la afduubay oo madax-furasho ayaa loo haystaa. Waxa la ina leeyahay haddii aad soo dhaqaaqdaan wuu burburayaa dalku, annagoon haddaba dalka burburin baanu iyaga burburinaynaa, cod baanu ku burburin doonaa.

Waa xaaraan wixii 15-ka May ka dambeeya oo Rayaale sharci uu u leeyahay inuu Madaxweyne noqdo ma leh, isagaa iska dayacay waqtigiisii shan sanno ayaa la siiyey, wuxuu xaq u lahaa isagoo wax kasta haysta inuu doorashooyinka diyaariyo waqtigoodii, laakiin wuxuu ka doorbiday inuu ina khiyaameeyo oo waxa uu is yidhi waad khiyaamayn karaysaa ee aad koradhsatid, dalka khiyaamayn mayside annagu haddii aannu UCID iyo KULMIYE nahay waxaannu doonaynaa inta ka horreysa 15-ka bisha in aannu dalka ka wadatashano.

Waxa kale oo aan u sheegayaa ciidammada uu soo saar saarayo, ciidammadu waa beelo iminkuun baynu isku qodbaynay, waynu ognahay oo mid kastaa wuxuu fuushan yahay gaadhigii tignikada ahaa ee reerkoodu iibiyey ee mid dawladi iibisay ma saran, waxaan leeyahay fadlan ciidammadaas hakala saarin oo waddanka dib ha ugu celin halkii 1990-kii. Dalkan intaad xaq u lahayd waad qaadatay haddana waa laguu ogolyahay in aad si xalaal ah u barantatid (tartantid), laakiin madaxa iskuma kaayo xidhi kartid, Maxamed Siyaad Barre ayaa isugu kaayo xidhi waayey, Sheekh Bilisaa na fali kari waayey ama Libaax soo qal ama Waraabe soo qaloo nama qabto annaga sixirku.”

Guddoomiye Faysal waxa kale oo uu cambaareeyey xadhiga lagula kacay masuuliyiin ka tirsan xisbiga KULMIYE, arrintaasi oo uu ku tilmaamay inay tahay mid daandaansi ah oo iyaga qudhooda ku dhacday.

“Xadhiga la xidhay masuuliyiinta xisbiga KULMIYE waa daandaansi, wuxuu doonayaa in dadku kaco oo fowdo timaado, laakiin kicimaayo.

Annaga waxa nagu dhacay ciyaartoygayagii Laascaanood waa loo diiday inay ciyaaraan oo Badhasaabkii iyo booliskaa lagu soo diray, dharkii yaraa ee aannu halkan uga iibinayna waa laga qaatay, markaa arrintu ilaa Laascaanood ayey socotaa, waxaannu doonaynaa waddankan inuu geliyo qalalaase, laakiin gelin maayo mana gelin karo, qofkii isyidhaa xumeena isaguun bay xumaantu ku hadhi. Waxaannu jecelnahay shacbigu inay nabadgelyada ilaaliyaan waa cadceed dhacaysa ee waxba yeynaan ku degdegin way inaga tegayaan wixii xun oo dhamiye,” ayuu yidhi Md. Faysal Cali Waraabe.

Guddoomiyaha xisbiga KULMIYE Md. Axmed Maxamed Maxamuud (Siilaanyo) oo isna halkaa ka hadlay ayaa waxa uu shirkaa jaraa’id ka jeediyey su’aalo uu sheegay inuu doonayo in Madaxweyne Rayaale ka jawaabo, kuwaas oo khuseeya doorashooyinka soo socda.

Isaga oo arrintaa ka hadlayey waxa uu yidhi; “Anigu waxaan doonayaa in aan su’aalo boorin ah u soo jeediyo shirka oo uu ka jawaabo Madaxweyne Daahir Rayaale Kaahin, waxaana ka mid ah; Waynu maqlaynay labadii cisho ee u dambeeyey laba go’aan oo iska horimanaya ayaa soo baxay, midi wuxuu ahaa kii Guddiga Doorashooyinku soo saareen ee caddaynayey goorta la qabanayo doorashooyinka ee axsaabtuna isku raacday, kaas oo deeqbixiyayaashii kharashka iyo lacagta bixinayey ee gacanta inaga siinayey geeddi-socodka dimuqraadiyadda, ictiraafka aynu ka doonaynay ee aad inoo daawanayey ee inoo danaynayeyna mowqifka ay taagan yihiin shalay markay madaarka joogeen ka caddeeyey, kaasi wuxuu ahaa go’aan. Ka kale wuxuu ahaa kii Guurtidu ku dhawaaqday. Waxaan jecelahay inuu Daahir Rayaale Kaahin ummadda u caddeeyo labadaa go’aan ka uu raacsan yahay, ma wuxuu raacsan yahay kii Guurtida ee isaga waqtiga u kordhinaysay ee aan hay’addii ku shaqada lahayd, dunida wax ina siisa iyo axsaabtu toona ku raacsanayn mise waxa uu taageersan yahay kii kale?

Su’aasha kale waxay tahay, ogow Guddiga Doorashooyinku waqtiga la qabanayo doorashooyinka ee 6 October iyo 31-ka December ee 2008-da may kala caddaynin labada doorasho ta horreynaysa, waayo iyagu waxay yidhaahdee tii aad isla garataan xisbiyadiinu ayaanu soo horreysiinaynaa, annagu haddii aannu labada xisbi qaran nahay [mucaaradka] waxaannu istaagnay mowqif ah inay doorashada Madaxweynuhu soo horreyso, sababta oo ah waa ta ugu muhiimsan ee siyaasadda Qaranka saamaynta weyn ku leh. Daahir Rayaale inuu taa nagu raacsan yahay iyo inuu ka baqayo in doorashada Madaxweynuhu soo horreyso oo uu wax walba ka dhiganayo wax alla wixii cimri dherer u kordhinaysa, taana ummadda ha u caddeeyo?”

Md. Axmed-Siilaanyo waxa uu sheegay in aanay mudanayaasha Golaha Guurtidu fahansanayn wixii lagu yidhi u codeeya oo la marin habaabiyey, isla markaana loo sheegay inay sidaasi sax tahay. Isagoo arrintaa ka hadlayeyna waxa uu yidhi; “Golaha Guurtida waynu ognahay oo cahdi qarmeedkii bay ku fadhiyaan, dhawaan mar uu nin ka dhintay oo la is yidhi cid ku beddela, maxkamaddii sare way garanweyday ma distoorkay isticmaashaa mise cahdi-qarameedkii bay isticmaashaa. Waa wax ka baxsan wadcigan aynu joogno distoorka aynu ku dhaqano dibadda ka taagan. Anigoon ceeb u geysan oo waa odayaale aan meel kaga dhacayn, haddana xaqiiqdu waxa weeye oo aan qaar iyaga ka mid ahna ka maqlay wixii la kala dooranayey iyo wixii la soo hordhigay may fahmin, waxa yidhaahdeen, ‘annaga waxa nala yidhi sidii axsaabtu isku raaceen oo inyar sharciga la waafajiyey uun u codeeya, sidaas baanu u codaynay.’ Masaakiin sidaad wax u saarto garanmaysid, guddi [Guurtida ka tirsan] baa loo saaray aanay intooda badani waxna akhriyin waxna qorin, markaa amarkii la siiyey ee la yidhi waxaasaa Madaxweynuhu doonayaa ayey ku shaqeeyeen.”

Md. Axmed-Siilaanyo waxa uu ayaan-darro ku tilmaamay in Golaha Guurtidu dalka ku tilmaamaan in aanay nabadgelyo ka jirin iyagoo toddobaadkii horena ka doodayey oo aad uga xanaaqsanaa Wakiilka Xoghayaha Qaramada Midoobay u qaabilsan Soomaaliya iyo Somaliland oo hadal uu jeediyey ku sheegay in nabadda ka jirta Somaliland tahay mid aan cago adag ku taagnayn, haddana iyaga oo u qiilsamaynaya Madaxweynaha ay baabiiyaan rajadii iyo wixii muddada intaa leeg loo soo halgamayey ee dunida laga iibinayey

“Odayaashaas oo aanaan u quudhayn af-xumo, laakiin aannu is leenahay jaahilnimay ka tahay waxaannu leenahay Ilaahay dunuubta ay dalka ka galeen ha ka saamaxo, laakiinse go’aankaa ay qaateen mid soconaya iyo mid dhaqangelya midna maaha,” ayuu yidhi Md. Siilaanyo

Waxa kale oo uu Guddoomiyuhu ka hadlay hadal uu Sabtidii doraad u jeediyey warbaahinta Xoghayaha Guud ee xisbiga UDUB iyo masuuliyiin ka tirsan xisbiga KULMIYE oo uu sheegay in si sharci darro ah loo xidhay, isagoo arrintaa ka hadlayeyna waxa uu yidhi; “Shir jaraa’id waxa shalay (Sabtidii) qabtay Xoghayaha UDUB, waxay wax ka sheegeen xagga dambe ee KULMIYE oo ay lahaayeen ‘Futo xumayaal,’ annagu ninkaa odayga ah xagiisa hore iyo xaggiisa dambe midna wax ka sheegi mayno, aflagaadooyinka qaarkoodna waaba wax laga xishoodo in la soo qaado. Waxa muuqata in maalmahan dambe dawladdu bilawday, hanjabaad iyo cago-juglayn markay soo dhaaftay ayey xabsi iyo xidhxidhis ku bilaabeen xubno ka tirsan xisbiga KULMIYE, miyaanay ayaan-darro ahayn Wasiirka Daakhiliga oo ah nin oday ah oo annagu sharaf iyo qiimo u hayno intuu halkaa istaagay buu yidhi xisbiga KULMIYE ayaa qarxiyey meel, bal kaba soo qaad inuu qof qarxiyey oo uu weliba qofkaasi KULMIYE hayahay, KULMIYE qof maaha ee waa qaran, waa ummadda kala badh, in xisbi baa wax qarxiyey la yidhaahdaa baa, dambiga ma xisbi baa galay mise qof baa gala haddiiba uu qarxin lahaa mid KULMIYE ka tirsani, anigoo og hubana in aanay dhicin inuu qarxiyey qof xisbiga ka tirsani ee Cabdillaahi-dheere uu isagu intuu xafiiskiisa ku diyaariyey uu ka tagay oo uu qarxiyey. Hadalkaa Wasiirku af-siyaasadeed maaha, af-xilkasnimo maaha, af-dawladi ku hadasho maaha. Dadka kale ee loo hanjabayo ee la leeyahay waarano ayaa loo soo jaray Maxamed Kaahin baa ka mid ah, raggna way xidhan yihiin. Waxaannu halkan ka caddaynaynaa Daahir Rayaalow xabsi baad sheegaysaa haddaad xabbad la dhacdo raggan horaad isu soo marteen oo rag xabbad iyo xabsi kaaga gabanaaya maaha ee wax alla waxaad la hadhaa yey jirine soo daa.”

Sidoo kale Afhayeenka xisbiga KULMIYE Md. Maxamed Kaahin Axmed oo isagu shirkaa jaraa’id ka sheegay magacyada qaar ka mid ah masuuliyiinta KULMIYE ee xukuumaddu u xidhay falkii qaraxii ka dhacay xarunta Guurtida, waxaannu sheegay in ragga la soo eedeeyey yihiin mujaahidiin waaweyn oo aan u qalmin in la yidhaa qol yar bay qarxiyeen.

Isaga oo isna arrimahaa ka hadlayey waxa uu yidhi; “Dadka la xidhay waxa ka mid ah Dayr Maxamed Cilmi ah oo ah oday reer Burco ah, kana mid ah dadka baayacmushriga ah oo la leeyahay wax buu qarxiyey ninka 20-ka guri Hargeysa ilaa Gaashaamo ku leh ee 300 ilaa 400 boqol ee halaad leh ee 20-ka carruur ahi Burco dugsiyada ugu jiraan ee la leeyahay meel buu qarxiyey waa ayaan-darro. Waxa ka mid ah dadka la xidhay Mujaahid Axmed Cumar X. Cabdillaahi oo ah Guddoomiyaha Gobolka Hargeysa ee xisbiga KULMIYE iyo Keyse Ismaaciil Cabdillaahi (Hirka), labadooduba waxa weeye raggii mujaahidiinta ahaa ee ugu waaweynaa xisbigii SNM oo meel yar oo Cabdillaahi-yare galo iyo meel oo Daahir Rayaale galo iyo raggii qarxin jiray maahee waa raggii ku qarxay Birjeex iyo Mandheera. Waxa kale oo ka mid ah inan [gabadh] ka shaqaysa Golaha Guurtida oo aan KULMIYE-ba ahayn, weliba waxa la sheegayaa in gabadhaa la jidh-dilay oo la garaacay.”

Intaa kadib qaar ka mid su’aalihii suxufiyiintii shirkaa jaraa’id ka qaybgalay weydiiyeen masuuliyiinta labada xisbi oo iyaguna si wadajir ah uga jawaabayey waxay u dhaceen sidan:

S: Haddii ay dhiciba waydo in laga noqdo muddo kordhintan, diyaar ma u tihiin in aad qaadacdaan doorashada labadiinan xisbi, maadaama aad aaminsan tihiin in aanay sharci ahayn?

Faysal Cali-waraabe J: Mar haddii aannu nidhi ma ogolin go’aankaa Guurtidu soo saartay ee qayrul sharciga ah nooma muuqato in aannu doorasho ka qaybgalno, ka qaybgelimayno doorasho isagu keligii ha haysto. Waanay dhimaynaysaaye ogow haddii waqtigaasi uu dhammaado oo aan intaa heshiis gaadhin waa la sadqeeyey nidaamkii dimuqraadiyadaynta, waanuna ka tashanaynaa oo waanaga 27-ka bishan u yeedhnay labada gole dhexe ee labada xisbi, habkii looga wareegi lahaa ee looga soo dhicin lahaa ayaa laga tashanayaa.

Siilaanyo, J: Horta su’aashu waa su’aal si u yara qallafsan, waxaannu ku nidhi doorashadu waqtigaas bay dhacaysaa, annagu doorashada waanu ka qaybgelaynaa isagu [Rayaale] haddaanu ka qaybgelayn isaga ayey jirtaa, waqtigii hay’addii ku shaqada lahayd u qabatay ee loo qoondeeyey waqtigaas ayaanu doorashada gelaynaa, waqtiga ay dhacaysaana waa kaa iyadoo duruufo kale oo ka duwan yimaadaan mooyaane.

S: Haddii ay dhacdo in waqtiga ay Guddiga Doorashooyinku u qabteen doorashooyinku ku dhacaan, waqtigii Madaxweynuhuna uu dhammaado, inta u dhaxaysa haddii aan dawlad wadaag ah la samayn maxaad yeelaysaan?

J: Annagu markaanu leenahay dawlad wadaag ah ha la sameeyo, macnaheedu maaha waxaannu jecelnahay in aannu dawlad Rayaale la yeelano, macnaheedu waxa weeye maadaama UDUB waqtigii ka dhacay xaq uma leh inay dawlad keligeed wadato, markaa waxa la samayn doonaa dawlad kooban oo shaqada ay qabaynasaa tahay oo keliya inay dalka gaadhsiiso doorasho, haddii ay taasi dhiciweydo waa waxyaabaha aannu doonayno in aannu ka tashano. Haddii maanta distoorkeena wuxuuni inoogu yaalaan waxaas baynu ku baxsan lahayn ee waxaan ku oolin meel sheegaysa marka xaaladan oo kale timaado waxa la yeelayo. Ta qudha ee aannu leenahay annagu waxa weeye mar haddii aanay taasi jirin waar aynu wadatashano oo wixii dalka dan u ah aynu yeelno, UDUB wuu na odhan karaa waar noo daaya, laakiin waa inuu yimaado oo uu ogaado in waqtgii ka dhacay.

S: Waqtigii Guurtida uu Madaxweynuhu u kordhiyey afarta sanno labadiina xisbi waxaad ku tilmaanteen inay sharci-darro iyo xaaraan, toddobaadadii ugu dambeeyey waxaad la kulanteen Guurtidii aad sharci-darrada ku tilmaanteen, haddii iminka arrintan aad ku tilmaantaan inay xaaraan tahay miyaan la odhan karin sida taas ayuun bay noqon oo waad iska aqbali doontaan?

J: Annagu mar walba waxaannu ka hadlaynay waxa weeye wixii danta iyo maslaxadda ummadda aannu moodno weeye waxaannu ka talinaynaynay ama aannu ku dhaqaaqaynay, waayo annaguu xilku naga saaran yahay ee ku shaqayn mayno cadho iyo iska dheh, dalka xasiloonidiisa iyo nabadgelyadiisa waanu ilaalinaynaa in alla intii suurtogeli karta.

Waxaanu si cad u cambaraynaa xadhiga Guddoomiyaha Xisbiga Kulmiye ee Hargeysa, Mudane Axmed Cumar Cabdillaahi “Xamarji” iyo ugaadhsiga Mujaahid Maxamed Kaahin Axmed. Waxaanu u aragnaa in ay tahay mid an xaq ahayn, waana qalad in cabiraada ra’yigooda iyo run ka sheegida taariikhda dhabta ah ee ummada iyo shakhsiyaadka hoggaanka dalka haya in lagu ugaadhsado. Waxaanuna leehanay taariikhdu maaha wax duugowda, qof walibana wuxuu leeyahay taariikh aan been laga sheegi karin.


Annagoo ah Jaalliyada Qurbo Jooga ah ee reer Somaliland ee ku dhaqan cariga Ingiriiska, gaar ahaan magaalada Liverpool, waxaanu cambaaraynaynaa hab dhaqanka masuuliyiinta iyo xukuumada Somaliland, annaga oo ka duulayna:

Markaanu aragnay in gebi ahaan dalkii marayo xaalad halis ah, dhamaana ay soo noqdeen wixii laga dagaalamay. Markaanu aragnay ku xadgudubka birmagaydada Somaliland iyo mujaahidiintii qaranka xoreeyay karamadooda iyo sharaftooda sida loogu tumanayo.

Markaanu daraasaynay sida maamul xumo, caddaalad darro, xattooyada xoolo dadweyne, ku tumashada xeerarka iyo qawaaniinta dalka, iska-horkeenidda beelaha walaalaha ah ee wada dega dalka, waxa noo muuqatay inay tahay waajib in laga hadlo xaaladan ka tagan dalka Somaliland, mar haddaanu nahay bulshada Qurbo Jooga ah ee Somaliland, dalkana lexejeclo naga hayso.

Waxaanu ka muujinaynaa welwelkayaga, walaaca aanu dareemayno ee uu dalku ku sugan yahay, waxanu u aragnaa qalad, arrin aan si quman looga fekerin, laguse kala kaxaynayo ummada walaalaha, ugaadhsiga mujahidinta, ku xadgudubka xuquuqda muwaadiniinta, ku tumashada distuurka qaranka iyo carqaladaynta geedi socodkii dimoqraadiga ahaa, in uu yahay mid wax yeelo iyo dhaawac u keenaya sumcada Somaliland iyo hidihii iyo dhaqanki lagu soo caano maalay ee nabadaynta Somaliland.

Waxaanu si cad u cambaraynaa xadhiga Guddoomiyaha Xisbiga Kulmiye ee Hargeysa, Mudane Axmed Cumar Cabdillaahi “Xamarji” iyo ugaadhsiga Mujaahid Maxamed Kaahin Axmed. Waxaanu u aragnaa in ay tahay mid an xaq ahayn, waana qalad in cabiraada ra’yigooda iyo run ka sheegida taariikhda dhabta ah ee ummada iyo shakhsiyaadka hoggaanka dalka haya in lagu ugaadhsado. Waxaanuna leehanay taariikhda maaha wax duugowda, qof walibana wuxuu leeyahay taariikh aan been laga sheegi karin.

Waxaanu mar labad u sheegaynaa xukuumada Somaliland in ay arrintaas ka waantoodo, arrimaha loo igmdayna ka shaqayso, kana waantowdo iska horkeenka iyo kala kaxaynta ummada Somaliland, waxaanu leenahay annaga oo ah Jaalliyada Somaliland ee Liverpool, xukuumada Somaliland, ha tixgeliso xurmada ay leeyihiin mujaahidiintii SNM.

Mar kale waxaanu ku celinaynaa caalamkana u sheegaynaa, in ay tahay ku xadgudub xuquuqda Mujaahidiinta iyo Birmagaydada lagula kacayo, si loo kiciyo dadka ama ummada Somaliland iyo intii u soo halgantayba ka naxaysa xurmayn la’aantooda, waana arrin lagu abuurayo nabadgelyo daro ka aloosanta dalka.

Waxaanu shacbiga gudaha jooga kula talinayna in ay si nabdgelyo ah, dareenkooda, shucuurkooda iyo isku duubnidooda ugu muujiyaan mudahaarad silmiya, calamkana tusaan sida ay uga soo horjeedaan xaalad abuurka xukuumada Rayaale dalka ka wado.

Ciidamo Milateri Ah Oo Laga Keenay Awdal Oo Xalay La Soo Dhoobay Xaafadaha iyo Jidadka Magaalada Hargeysa

April 14th, 2008 [News] |

Hargeysa, April 13, 2008 (Haatuf) – Ciidamo Milateri ah oo u badan ciidamo labadii maalmood ee u dambeeyay laga soo daadguraynayay degaano ka tirsan gobolka Awdal, ayaa xalay la soo dhoobay jidadka gudaha xaafadaha magaalada iyo jidadka waaweyn ee magaalada dibadda ka ah, ciidamadaas oo ku gaashaaman gaadiidka tiknikada ah iyo kuwa kale ee ciidamada lagu daadgurayeba, waxaanay ciidamadaasi dadka farayeen inay seexdaan.

Lama garanayo sababta keentay in ciidamada milateriga ahi ula wareegaan ammaanka caasimadda, iyadoo aanay jirin wax ammaanka khatar geliyay oo ka sareeya awoodda ciidanka Bileyska, isla markaana ma jiro wax war ah oo ay xukuumaddu ka soo saartay tallaabadaa ay xalay ciidamada milaterigu kula wareegeen ammaanka caasimadda.

Ciidamada milateriga ah ayaa la sheegay inay u badan yihiin ciidamo tan iyo Khamiistii ina dhaaftay laga soo daadguraynayay degaano ka tirsan gobolka Awdal, ee degaan ahaan uu ka soo jeedo Madaxweyne Riyaale, kuwaas oo u badan ciidamo ay jifo hoose isku yihiin Riyaale [Reer DUDUB].

Dadweynaha caasimadda Hargeysa, ayaa dareemo kala duwan ka bixiyay ciidamadan milateriga ah ee jidadka xaafadda la soo dhoobay, waxaanay dadka qaar u arkayeen tallaabadan mid xaalad-abuur ah oo ay xukuumaddu ku doonayso inay dareenka dadweynaha ku cabudhiso, iyadoo kuwo kalena arkayay in tani bilow u tahay cahdi cusub oo ay Somaliland gashay, kaas oo god madow ku ridaya geedi-socodkii dimuqraadiyadda ee ay Somaliland ku caano-maashay.

Dhinaca kale Tallaabada ciidanka milaterigu xalay kula wareegay ammaanka magaalada ayaa loo malaynayaa inay ka dambayso qorshe ay xukuumadda Riyaale ku damacsan tahay inay tallaabooyin ka qaado masuuliyiin waaweyn oo ka mid ah xisbiyada mucaaridka ah, kuwaas oo si weyn uga soo horjeestay go’aankii muddo-kordhinta ee ay Khamiistii ina dhaaftay Golaha Guurtida xilka ugu kordhiyeen muddo hal sanno inuu xilka sii hayo Madaxweyne Riyaale, taas oo ay xisbiyada mucaaridka iyo inta badan shacbiweynuhu ku tilmaameen mid sharci-darro ah, oo aan wakhtiga xaadirka loo baahnayn, isla markaana ka horimanaysa heshiiskii ay saddexda xisbi iyo Komishanka Doorashooyinku bishan 9-keedii ku gaadheen wakhtiga doorashooyinka ay dalka ka dhacayaan.

Xukuumadda Riyaale ayaa xisbiga Mucaaridka ah ee KULMIYE ku eedaysay inay ka dambeeyeen qarax Arbacadii ka dhacay xarunta golaha Guurtida, taas oo ay xisbiga KULMIYE si weyn gaashaanka ugu dhuftay eedda xukuumadda ee la xidhiidha qaraxaas, waxaana labadii maalmood ee u dambeeyay warbaahinta laysku weydaarsaday eedaymo iyo dhaleecayno iska soo horjeeda, iyadoo ay xukuumaddu qaaday saddexdii maalmood ee u dambeeyay tallaabooyin ay ku xidhxidhayso masuuliyiin iyo odayaal muxtarim ah oo xisbiga KULMIYE ka mid ah.

Gudoomiyaha KULMIYE Ee Gobolka Hargeysa Oo Xabsiga Loo Taxaabay Iyo Baadi-Goobka Masuuliyiin Sar-Sare Oo Mucaaridka Ah
Waarrano Qabasho Ah Oo La Sheegay In Loo Jaray Muj. Maxamed Kaahin Iyo Dr. Cumar Dixood
Hargeysa, April 13, 2008 (Haatuf) – Gudoomiyaha Xisbiga KULMIYE ee gobolka Hargeysa, Axmed Cumar Sheekh (Xamarji) ayaa shalay ciidanka Bileysku xabsiga u taxaabeen, kaas oo ilaa hadda ku xidhan xarunta Laanta Baadhista Dambiyada Bileyska (CID).

Muj. Xamarji ayaa la sheegay in maalmihii u dambeeyay ay ciidanka Bileysku doondoonayeen iyada oo la sheegay in loo haysto inuu Bileyska kala baxsaday Madaxii hore ee Gaadiidka Madaxtooyada, Abshir Xasan oo ay bileysku doonayeen inay xidhaan Khamiistii dhaweyd. Waxaana la sheegay in Xamarji isaga cagihiisa ku tegay xafiiska C.I.D-da shalay markii uu maqlay inay bileysku raadinayaan, waxaana halkaas loogu sheegay in amar lagu siiyay in la xidho, balse aanay garanayn waxa loo haysto.

Hase yeshee Taliyaha Bileyska Maxamed Saqadhi Dubad ayaa u sheegay BBC-da, Laanta Afka Soomaaliga in lagu eedaynayo Guddoomiyaha Xisbiga KULMIYE ee gobolka Hargeysa qaraxii ka dhacay xarunta Golaha Guurtida Arbacadii dhowayd.

Dhinaca kale, waxay warar ilaa xalay soo xoogaysanayay tibaaxeen in Xukuumadda Riyaale waarrano qabasho ah u soo goysay masuuliyiin sar-sare oo ka tirsan xisbiyada Mucaaridka iyo Saraakiishii SNM, kuwaas oo ay xukuumaddu damacsan tahay inay xabsiga u dirto.

Ragga la sheegay inay xukuumaddu waarranada u soo goysay waxa ka mid ah Mujaahid Maxamed Kaahin oo ka mid ahaa saraakiishii ugu horeysay ee ururkii SNM iyo Dr. Cumar Dixood oo ka mid ahaa aasaasayaashii SNM, isla markaana ahaa ergaygii hore ee Aqoonsi-raadiska Somaliland, hase yeeshee ilaa hadda ma jiro war rasmi ah oo ka soo baxay dhinaca Xukuumadda oo la xidhiidha qabashadood.

Taliyaha Bileyska, Mr. Saqadhi oo aanu xalay khadka telefoonka kula xidhiidhnay si aanu wax uga weydiino inuu gaadhay amarka qabashada labadaa masuul, ayaa si masuuliyad-darro ah ugu jawaabay “Kii kuu sheegay ka xaqiiji”, kadibna telefoonka ayuu ku xidhay weriyihii su’aasha telefoonka ku weydiiyay.

Masuuliyiinta KULMIYE oo aanu iyagana la xidhiidhnay ayaa sheegay inaanu jirin wax waarran ah oo loo keenay, balse ay maqlayaan warka sheegaya waarranada loo soo gooyay masuuliyiintaas.

Warar aan la xaqiijin ayaa waxay sheegeen in ciidamo bileys ahi ay subaxii hore ee shalay Hotelka Xaraf ugu tageen Muj. Maxamed Kaahin, waxaanay ku wargeliyeen inuu u raaco xarunta C.I.D-da oo looga yeedhayo, balse ciidankaasi kumay guulaysan inay kaxeeyaan Mujaahid, manay jirin wax waarran maxkamadeed ah oo ay siteen. Sidoo kale waxay wararkaasi intaas ku dareen inay mar labaad ciidan bileys ahi ay tageen Hotelka uu degan yahay ee Maaweel, balse ay halkaas ka waayeen.

Sidoo kale ciidanka Bileyska ayaa laba saddexdii maalmood ee u dambeeyay baadi-goobaya Madaxii hore ee Gaadiidka Madaxtooyada, Abshir Xasan oo ay Khamiistii ciidanka Bileysku baacsadeen isagoo ka soo baxay xaflad ay dhawr boqol oo dhalinyaro iyo haween isugu jira oo ku soo biiray KULMIYE kana soo baxay UDUB ku qabsadeen hoolka shirarka ee Panorama, kaas oo ay bileysku ku guul-daraysteen qabashadiisa, balse waxay wararku sheegayaan in weli bileysku baadigoobayo iyadoo sababta loo raadinayo lagu tilmaamay inuu Abshir Xasan ka mid ahaa dadka ka soo shaqeeyay boqolaal dhallinyaro iyo haween ah oo xisbiga KULMIYE ku biiray.

Xukuumadda Riyaale tan iyo labadii sannadood ee u dambeeyay waxay bileys qabqabteen iyadoo aanay jirin waarran Maxkamadeed oo uu u xalaalaynaya qabashadooda, siyaasiyiin, suxufiyiin iyo mujaahidiinba, kuwaas oo muddo badan xabsiga layskaga hayo isla markaana aan helin Maxkamad dhexdhexaad iyo cadaalad uga gar-naqda kiiska lagu eedaynayo.

Muj. Maxamed Kaahin Axmed ayaa ka mid ahaa 7dii Kornayl ee ugu horreeyey saraakiishii Millateri ee u tallaabay Itoobiya, 1982, halkaasna ka aasaasay garabkii hubaysnaa ee ururkii SNM ee dalkan ka xorreeyey taliskii Millateri ee Siyaad Barre. Waana sarkaalka keliya ee ka nool saraakiishaas.

Mujaahid Maxamed Kaahin waxa uu ahaa Sarkaalkii Daahir Riyaale ka soo kaxeeyay magaalada Laas-caanood oo ku sugnaa sannadkii 1991 kadib markii laga adkaaday dawladii Siyaad Barre ee uu Sarkaalka NSS-ta ah ka ahaa, isagoo sii raacay ciidamadii Cabdi-Casiis Cali Barre ee u yaacay dhinaca Somalia, balse Riyaale waxa uu kaga hadhay ciidamadaas Laas-caanood, halkaas oo markii dambe kala soo xidhiidhay Mujaahid Cabdiraxmaan Aw Cali, kadibna Maxamed Kaahin uu halkaas ka soo kaxeeyay.

Is There A Similarity Between Dahir Riyale and Mugabe?

April 14th, 2008 [Opinion] |

Nearly all African societies suffer from not only ineffective governments but Presidents who refuse to leave office who throw their countries into civil war and almost always destroy their societies. Somaliland stood out as a society that has deviated from the known path until now. Somaliland is not Zimbabwe and the two societies are profoundly different in their ethnic composition. However, recently Somali and Zimbabwe seem to have found convergent similarities. Mugabe refused to leave office after a highly publicized election and after a solemn promise to accept the outcome without a fight, but he emerged four days after the election and said ‘no’ to every road to peaceful exit. In Somaliland Dahir Riyale was busy for the past few years stalling every move to register voters. He did not want the country to vote and not trusting the people did not want them to vote him out of office. As the days leading to his exit approached, he asked the NEC to write a letter postponing the timeline of the elections which would give the Guurti (House of Elders) the weapon to fight for him. NEC refused to break the law but Riyale’s Guurti extended the term of office for him and broke the laws that keeps all of them in place. Likewise, Mugabe, after he lost the election, scolded his entourage for not watching the vote carefully and compelled them to agree with him. Riyale and Mugabe’s similarities end here.

Mugabe is an old man. He spent more than 10 years in the wilderness fighting the white occupation. In short he found Zimbabwe. When he recently said in an interview ‘Mugabe is Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is Mugabe.’ It might be true that sadly in his old age, he seriously believes he found Zimbabwe and he has to remain in office until he dies. He might be confused into believing that Zimbabwe is his estate and he the owner of that estate. Therefore, since he fought for it he should always keep his treasure. He might not have envisioned for himself any other post except the President of Zimbabwe. But one wonders what does Dahir Riyale think when he refuses to leave office.

Somaliland was neither found nor saved by Dahir Riyale. If Mugabe was the one who saved Zimbabwe, Dahir Riyale is the one Somaliland was saved from. He was among the dark forces of Siad Bare who tortured innocent citizens for not adhering to the rules of his master. He was lucky to have been forgiven for his crimes and luckier even more for inheriting the highest office of the land. No one in the society rejected this lucky inheritance. On the contrary, the people of Somaliland welcomed him and ignored all that could deny him office. Then, he tells us that he was chosen by the people and luckier still, they have chosen him over KULMIYE, the party that had all the war veterans in it. People then were a bit surprised of the outcome of a vote. They expected otherwise but being inherently democratic, they let him stay in office. Now the same people want to hold an election and vote for their candidate. He is a candidate (the only one from his party) but he does not trust the people. Why not? They voted for him once – overwhelmingly, he tells us- why can’t he trust them again. It can only be that he does not have the confidence of being elected and he is afraid that the comrades who have rigged the votes for him last time have given up the job. Unless he lacks confidence to be chosen again by the public, he could not have gone too far transgressing the laws of the land, intimidating the same people who have voted for him. He needs to study his history and his legacy that will offer him nothing but shame. He cannot control people with intimidation. He and his comrades cannot suppress the will of the people. He should allow elections to take place and the people to choose their leader.

I think the people of Somaliland, opposition parties, National Election Commission and the international community should work together as soon as possible to register voters. That should be the focus of the land. Our beloved country should stay peaceful. Let the people work hard on saving their votes for the right leader in October. Now is the time to register voters and that should be the single vision.

Long live Somaliland. PEACE InshaAllah

April 13th, 2008 [News] |

An EU delegation representing donor countries that helps Somaliland complete its democratic journey which have visited Somaliland to participate in a ceremony on the signing of an agreement between the National Election Commission and the three political parties in which they agreed on the dates of the voter registration and consecutive elections has expressed disappointment on the action of the House of Elders’ unilateral decision to extend President Riyale’s term of office.

The delegation did not attend the ceremony as the ceremony itself was cancelled since the actions of President Riyale and the House of Elders have thrown the specified time of the election into disarray. The delegation met with the heads of the political parties, National Election Commission and President Riyal while in the country. However Mr. Richard Hands have expressed disappointment over the impasse created by this extension.

In an interview with the local press, Mr. Hands has indicated that they were in the country as delegation from the EU and other donor countries like Britain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the United States of America to convey a congratulatory message to the National Election Commission and the work they have done so far as well as the tripartite agreement among all the parties that was reached on Wednesday 9 April 2008 because we know that it was not easy to reach a monumental agreement.

Mr. Hands said that they were in the country to congratulate the political parties for their brave act to insist and negotiate on a specific timeline for national elections.

However, the delegation faced with worry and disappointment leaving the country in a hurry in order to confer with their respective governments also urged the people of Somaliland to stay calm and all the parties concerned to maintain the peace, they emphasised that Somaliland has been peaceful for the past few years and the whole world is looking at it favourably. Therefore, the agreed time of the voter registration and elections should be respected.
