Nowadays, nobody could read or tell what is happening in Mogadishu, and some extent, in entire Somalia. That is because Somalia has become like the Proverbial Ostrich with so many foreign spearmen are fighting to own it for regional and global strategic power-plays, unbeknownst to the unsuspecting people of Somalia. Several years back, I penned an article entitled, “Somalia: The New Lebanon of the Secret Intelligence Community”, in which I argued that the country is deeply infested with the competing interests of foreign powers. Since then, several countries in the Gulf and beyond, had joined the fray and participated in throwing their venous spears at helpless ostrich in nasty proxy wars and stiff geopolitical rivalry.

Please read this article once again to compare its contents with recent developments and deadly legacy of this foreign interference in a fragile country struggling to be again:

Most people in the world can’t write or read. They don’t use phones and computers. They have neither beds nor use wash-rooms. To suvive, the common denominator we have with them is food. We also live on the same globe, breath same air and drink water. They have none of our problems, and they can’t imagine what life looks like in our world. 

Could you further develop this story into short and imaginative essay of 500 words?

This is for school boys and girls learning English as a second language. When done, send it to WDM at ismailwarsame@gmail.com, for rating.

I honestly see no value to the society in holding events in which a Keynote Speaker is not challenged on own public records by the strength and competence of a moderator, who adequately gets prepared for before hand with collections of public policy statements by that particular speaker at table for the occasion, in order to be able to ask follow-up questions effectively and call out any obvious mis-statements and falsehoods.

I give you an example: President Deni and his Interior Minister Dhabancad have been issuing public statements long before the appointment of the members of TPEC on how they wanted to proceed with elections of local councils in a number of towns as pilot election projects in Puntland. Mind you, I am not saying the policy objective is good or bad. But the answer by the President not to own it up last night was incorrect because it wasn’t a policy that had come up originally from TPEC. The moderator should have had those records ready to challenge the President’s own mis-statements on the issue.

President Deni has been downplaying too the strained relationships and cooperation between Puntland and Farmaajo Administration, whereby the latter is quoted as “I had lost hope on the former” from reliable sources. There are serious Federal issues that require public address from Puntland Government. Abuses by the Federal Government in matters of public security, state jurisdictions (Federal and State Constitutions), Federal Elections 2020/2021, public education, equitable resources- sharing etc require Puntland’s public assertiveness, advocacy and leadership.

In doing so, there are cues to have from such well conducted interviews as BBC’s “Hard Talk” and Al-Jazeera’s “Face-to-face” programs.

Otherwise, the Centre or its moderator is simply providing a platform for the speaker’s unchallenged personal insinuations, unscrutinized statements, evasion to answer questions (there were many such evasions), using simplistic terms to dodge hard questions and twisting of facts to his/her own desire and convenience, and, thus becoming an accomplice in avoiding facts out as a matter of institutional policy, in which case there is no an independent research objective, or it could be a mere personal incompetence.

“Bringing people and government closer together” could be a noble cause, but it is not the job of a research Think Tank, which is supposed to study issues of socio-economic importance and lay out its findings in scholarly fashion publicly. Here credibility and impartiality are sine non qua of reliable assessment and genuine research prowess. The idea to invite public figures to such platforms is to challenge them on their public performance on issues of public interests and rate them on their public policies and records in advising them on best alternatives forward. It is never about providing voice and tools for their ill-conceived policy objectives.

People shouldn’t be treated as all suckers and flatterers. Their destinies and the future of their country are at stake.

One keen Puntland observer had notably remarked: “Odaga caawa waa loo camiray” ( the man has been entertained tonight).

In conclusion, it was a smart move on the part of President Said Abdullahi Deni to come out from his bunker to face the people and answer some sticking questions on where he wants to lead Puntland in this precarious political stalemate in Somalia and the role Puntland ought to play in resolving this dangerous governance gridlock.

Before 19th century, no central governance system existed until colonial powers of Italy, Britain, France and Abyssinia came to conquer. Localized administrations existed in some parts of tribalized enclaves like Majertinia and Obbiyo. Later came Drawish Movement, operating in Northwest and Northeast of the East African territory barely known as Somalia before, but referred to people living there as Somalis, perpetually existing as unsettled, but freely moving clans and subclans in search of greener grazing land and water wells for their over-crowding flocks of herds, the primary wealth of the Somalis.

Generally speaking, tribal history of the nomads there knew no notion of self-government. Colonial powers imposed a modicum of law and order in emerging towns and created regions with administrative head-cities in the 19th century. Administrations built along foreign concepts on government were introduced to a pastoral society fighting for scarce resources of grazing land and water-holes for its livelihoods. As unified colonial forces with superior tools of suppression and conflict management,  and mercelessly following the plan for the scramble for Africa, and ready to impose their will on free-wheeling nomads came, and they were relatively successful in establishing their regimes in a new country they called Somalia, a term that didn’t exist before them.

In the course of 19 -20 centuries, a divided country of Somalia was created. In the process, they had created a pseudo-elite from the native population, working with the European administrators. Within that small elite, rose some enlightened  persons and groups that dreamed of replacing their colonial masters one day. These included poorly educated and short-sighted patriots of SYL type. These groups didn’t contemplate  programs beyond attaining a nominal national independence. These were overwhelmed easily by the forces of neo-colonialism as the native government fell victim again to colonial trappings in their approach to governance, education and mindset throughout 20th century. They were still further undercut by military coup and vicious civil war.

In the 21st century, it became increasingly impossible to dig that poor country out of its abysmal situation as its new generation of leaders were unable to grow bigger than themselves.

Today, these are the root causes of Somalia’s predicament.
There is an urgent need for heavy-lifting in applying the principles of consesus-building, compromise and fair-play in self-government.

Emerging from tribal civil war requires the restoration of trust among heavily tribalized, ill-educated and ill-informed or mis-informed members of the general population before any other shot at tools of governance. That attempt is still lacking. Talk about elections in any modality in the total absence of common and basic understanding of bringing people together first.

No nation in history had risen up on foreign charity. Only native people build the nation-state they deserve. Nobody else would do that for you.

I didn’t do it for you either, if you don’t deserve my advice.

Laga Soo Wariyey Buugga “HAYAAN”

2002-dii intuu Shirku ka socday Mbagati, waxa soo kordhay Itoobiya oo markay aragtay in Kenya, Jabuuti iyo Masar Shirka kaga awood badateen, iskuday in ay Shirka buburiso si ayen waxba uga soo bixin Mbagati. Itoobiya waxay abaabushay in kooxxa gacansaarka iyada laleh sida Maxamed Saciid Morgan, Maxamed Xabeeb (Maxamed Dheere), Maxamuud Sayid, Yuusuf Direed iyo kuwo kale, Shirka isaga baxaan. Kuwo Maxamed Dheere ayaa Jowhar u kaxaystay. Deedna Morgan, inta Ceelbarde/Bakool aaday ayuu ciidankii Jubaland ee halkaa joogay ku weeraray Kismaayo oo ay haystaan Isbahaysiga Dooxada Jubba. Ergadii Mareexaan ee Shirka waxay u qaateen Cabdulllaahi Yuusuf in uu la ogyahay Morgan weerarka Kismaayo. Taa macnaheedu waa in ergada Mareexaan Madaxweyne u dooran Cabdullaahi Yuusuf. Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibedda Itoobiya, Seyoum Mesfin iyo madaxda ciidanka wardoonkuba lug ayey ku leeyihiin arrintaa. Maxda Jabuuti iyana qas iyo saamayn bay ka dhex-waadeen ergooyinka Shirka. Jabuuti kooxdii Carta ee Cabdulqaasim Salad Xassan ayey wadataa oo ay u olalayneysay..

Masar iyo ururka isutagga carabta (League of Arab States) ayaa iyana u olalaynaya ina Salad Boy (Cabdulqaasim). Waa intaanan ku guuleysan cayradda Kolonso Musoka, Wasiirkii Amuuraha Debedda ee Kenya.

Dhanka kale, Madaxweyne Xigeenka Puntland, Maxamed Cabdi Haashi, ahaana Kusimahii Madaxweynaha Puntland ayaa isna wada isqabad siyaasadeed gudaha golayaasha Puntland, gaar ahaan, isaga iyo Wasiirka Maaliyedda, Cabdirahmaan Faroole, ka waday, iyo in uu dagaal Somaliland geliyo Puntland duleedka Waqooyi ee Laas caano, aaga Ari Cadeeye.

Xassan Abshir Waraabe, Jini Boqor, Xirsi Bulxan, Cali Khaliif Galayr, Maxamed Cabdi Yuusuf, Cali Baashi, Jaamac Cali Jaamac, iyo kuwo kale ayaa iyana xoog uga soo horjeeda Cabdullaahi Yuusuf. Qaarkood waxay wateen Cabdullaahi Cadow/Habar-Gidir/Reer Nimcaale, kuwana Cabdulqaasim Salaad ee Kooxda Carta. Markay arrimaha Shirka Mbagati halkaa marayaan, Cabdullaahi Yuusuf khalkhal siyaasadeed iyo walaac quusu ku jirto baa galay.

Markaan arkay in Cabdullaahi Yuusuf jahawareer galay, ayaan la xiriiray Jananka Kenya ee Maxamuud. Waa wadahalsiiyey. Janan Maxamuud Cabdullaahi Yuusuf wuxu ku yiri: “Cabdullahiyow, ciidna halkaan kaama sadroonee, kaagamana awood badan eh, cagaha dhulka dhig”.

Hadii Maxamed Cabdi Haashi dagaal ka dhex-ridi lahaa Puntland iyo Somaliland, Cabdullaahi Yuusuf ma joogikareen Shirka Mbagati, markaana hubaal bay ahayd in Cabdullaahi Cadow ku guuleysan lahaa madaxnimada Soomaaliya. Hadii dagaalka Morgan ee Kismaayo sii soconlahaa ergada Mareexaan Cabdullaahi cod ma siiyeen. Cabdullaahi Cadow ayaa madaxweyne noqonlahaa. Hadaanan Waftiga Itoobiya ee Shirka Mbagati joogtay anaan dacween si ay joojiyaan carqaladaynta, Shirku waa burburilahaa. Hadaanan ku guuleysan in anu badelo Kolonzo Musoka, Cabdulqaasim Salaad Boy ama Cabdullaahi Cadow ayaa guuleysanlahaa. Hadaanan dhinacayaga kusoo dabaalin Uganda iyo Museveni, Kalonzo Musoka waa naga guuleysanlahaa, wuxuna helilahaa balanqaadkii Sacuudi Carabiya in ay gacan maaliyadeed ku sii doonto doorashadii madaxnimada Kenya ee markaa soo socotay, markuu Shirka Mbagati soo saaro Cabdulqaasim Salad Xassan oo ah Madaxweynaha Soomaaliya.

Madaxda Abgaalku waxay qabaan cudurka “Stockholm Syndrone” ee ku dhacca dadka lahaystayaasha ah, kuwaa oo jacayl u qaada kuwii iyaga haysanjiray. Abgaalku waxay aqoonsi ka raadiyaan Habar-Gidirta, taa oo ka dhalatay dagaalladii kululaa ee ay kala soo galeen Xamar bartamaha Dagaalkii Sokeeye. Waa sababta Cali Mahdi, Xusseen Boot, Suudi Yalaxow iyo Maxamed Dheere dhanka siyaasadda ugu guuldaraysteen markay Habar-Gidir ku sasabatay in Abgaalku yihiin madaxdii Hawiye oo afka baarkiisa ah, deedna daaqadda siyaasadeed ka tureen madaxdii Abgaal oo dhan; waa sababta Cali Mahdi, Xusseen Caydiid Shirkii Qaahira 1997 ugu raacay. Waa sababta Xusseen Boot u raacay Ina Salaad Boy Shirkii Carta 2000. Waa sababta Maxamed Dheere u damcay in uu isu sharaxxo madaxweyne Soomaaliya Shirkii Mbagati. Waa sababta Suudii Yalaxow Cabdullaahi Yuusuf ugu yiri in uu kabo ka weyn gashaday xiligii shirkii Mbagati. Madaxda Habar-Gidir ayaa ku yiri, “idinkaa ahe madaxdii Hawiye, Daarood naga dhiciya.

Maxamed Dheere, oo ahaa Dagaal Ooge Puntland soo kobcisay, hay’addaha sirdoonka Mareykankana ku xirtay dhanka la dagaallanka argagixisada, ayaa inta u bogay dhiiragelinta Habar-Gidir, iyo lacagta an xisaab-cilinta la hayn ee CIA Mareykanka, iskudayey in uu musharaxnimada Cabdullahi Yuusuf kahor yimaado, isagoo Isbahaysiga SRRC kala tirsan. Xubnihii SRRC ayuu bar goostay, lana degay hudheelka Nairobi New Stanley. Habaynkii oo dhan Maxamed iyo goosankiisu waa la qayilayey, maalintiina waa la hurdaa, macaa dumarkii shirka nooga olalaynayey. Waxay noqotay in Maxamed Dheere iyo CIA Mareykanka kala reebo, ilaa Maxamed Dheere hudheelkii New Stanley kharashkiisa loo qabsado, bal in uu madaxweyne isu sharaxxo iskaba daa eh.

Laga soo xigtay Axmed Dheere:

  “qabiilka reer mahad iyo daraawiishtii Sayid Maxamed Cabdulle Xassan ayaa waxaa dhexmaray dagaallo kulkulul kadib markii reer mahadku caadeysteen gawaan-raacinta fardaha daraawiisheed xilliyada habeenkii ah. Sayidka ayaa reer mahad ku qaaday dagaal culus, isagoo kadibna sayidku tiriyey gabay dheer oo laga hayo, dhawrkaan meeris ee hoose oo laga soo xigtey,Axmed Maxamed-cadde( Axmed-dheere): “… Mahad laga bogsoo bahalihii baabusha lahaaye; baynuune nimankii futada beyda ku lahaaye; waxaa balaslahoodii ka dhacay beled amxaaraade; takarkii hubeerka u ekaa sidii haatufka u roorye.”

“Maxamed Dheere: “nimankii futada beyda ku lahaa, wuxuu ula jeedey, reer mahad ka ayaa caan ku ahaa gawaan-raacinta fardaha bilaa koore, taasoo keentay in ay caan ku ahaayeen bawdyaha iyo gudo u jeedyada oo hoollaa”
