The Speaker of Federal House of Representatives (Lower House of Parliament) Sheikh Adan Madoobe has suspended Federal Representatives of Jubaland State summarily without any legal or legislative instruments or basis.

See and read it below:

” Concerns have been raised by diplomats regarding the actions of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud and Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Bare, particularly in relation to operators of civilian aircraft registered in the Republic of Kenya.The Kenyan government is closely monitoring all civilian aircraft operating within the Federal Republic of Somalia and the Republic of Kenya. It is imperative that these aircraft adhere strictly to the civil aviation laws and regulations established by the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). Any violations will result in serious repercussions.Specifically, the KCAA will revoke the operating licenses of companies found to be transporting military personnel, weapons, or equipment. The transportation of military personnel, weapons, and explosive materials from Mogadishu to Jubaland State, particularly to Raskamboni, is strictly prohibited. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory to ensure the safety and integrity of our aviation operations, according to sources related to this issue. “

The fledgling Somali Federal Government (FGS) has broken the international law and aviation rules by compelling and using civilian commercial planes to transport troops and arms to Rascambooni and Garbaharey in the Jubaland State. This is also a flagrant disregard of passenger safety and commercial aircraft transportation.

People are wondering why FGS, which is much disorganised and possibly weaker than Jubaland State military garrisons in Kismayo, is taking all the trouble and reckless adventure to depose a long serving head of a Federal Member State (FMS). Instead, they could have opted for negotiations and peaceful resolution of their political differences. Now, it is never too late to  do just that. Wise up!

WDM EDITORIAL

That is because the Federal Constitution is dead. Three consecutive federal presidents of Somalia have been undermining it. The result is that Somalia has no constitution and no law and order mechanism. The ashes of the previous Federal Constitution are now subject to a hard re-negotiation, if that is even remotely possible.

Hostile campaigns against Jubaland under the pretext of Ahmed Madoobe’s refusal to play ball in carrying out final coup de grace in finalizing the destruction of the Federal Constitution herald this lawless failing state of Somalia. This is all happening under the watchful eyes of the United Nations representatives, diplomatic corps, and UN sponsored African Union protection forces in Somalia.

The conditions of this lawless state are exacerbated by the recent lifting of UN ARMS EMBARGO on a failing Somali administration, thus instigating a renewed civil war.

If successful in this current confrontation with Mohamud-Barre childish behaviour, Jubaland State will unlikely return to the fold with lawless Somali central authorities. Puntland State is already operating short of unilateral secession. Hirshabeelle State exists by name only in Mogadishu. Southwest and Galmudugh states are on shaky ground under the spell of Mogadishu. Mogadishu is piles of dirty building-blocks, looted plots of public properties, and huge poverty-stricken slums with violence and unprecedented security check-points, making it impossible to move around.

The future of a Somali state is bleak and unpredictable. This editorial is more than a warning. We have been playing with fire for far too long. We are now reaping what we have sowed for many years. Stay tuned.

Terrorist networks have failed to acquire foothold in Puntland State society. They might have had small pockets in remote mountainous locations and a neglectable  number of foot soldiers here and there, besides reported intimidating long distance phone calls to extort merchants, but they don’t pose a major security threat to the state, and if any, that is due to security lapse and constraints of financial and logistics support to the security personnel.

Any success over terrorist networks depends on community awareness and cooperation with state security forces. However, the security forces in Puntland need counter-insurgency strategy, adequate training and logistics, including reliable communication gear and efficient intelligence network, not only to eliminate the existing terrorist cells and those in remote hiding pockets, but also to preempt their potential attempts to infiltrate into Puntland State territories from South-Central Somalia and Northwest Regions of Somalia (Somaliland). There are also reports circulating in Puntland State and overseas that ISIS may be trying to link up with the Houthis across the Red Sea.

Towards this objective, Puntland State requires cooperation with other parts of Somalia, neighbouring countries, and the international community to fight extremists successfully. Puntland State is now posed to set the example for uprooting terrorism not only in Puntland State and help Somalia but also to contribute to the Horn of Africa in eliminating the menace.

Puntland State and Somalia weakness as a whole in successfully fighting off extremists is the failure of other religious groups in the country to provide counter propaganda to that of Al-Shabab and ISIS. That is really remarkable.

Take a listen to this wise advice for good people to be in government.

The State of the Somali Union

President Deni of Puntland State is getting ready to clear pockets of extremist ISIS in remote locations of Puntland State. There is potential that ASIS may hook up with Houthis across the Red Sea.

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is trying to tople Ahmed Madoobe of Jubaland State, causing an outrage of the people of Somalia, who fear renewed destabilibization and civil war.

Hamse Abdi Barre is conflicted between loyalty to his boss, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, and the disappointment of his constituency for his exceptional poor performance as prime minister.

Ahmed Madoobe is engaged in self-defence against Mohamud’s aggressive provocation in Jubaland. He has no time and appetite for fighting against Al-Shabab in Jubaland at the moment, until Kismayo’s dust in this confrontation settles.

Laftegaren of Southwest State is in a dilemma whether or not to trust Ethiopian forces nearby to help him in holding elections against the dictates of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud not to do.

Qoor Qoor of Galmudugh State feels the pressure of  personal security and political threats from both Mahad Salad, the former NISA Director, in Dusamareeb, Galgaduud Region, and Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Mahad Salad intends to dislodge Qoor Qoor with the support of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.

Guudlaawe of Hirshabeelle State finds himself in the crossfire between Hawaadle and Abgaal clans in his own state with swathes of it still under the control of Al-Shabab and his Hawaadle opponents in the Hiiraan Region. Mostly, he is based in Mogadishu, not in his state for lack of operating infrastructure and his own safety.

Abdirahman Cirro has defeated soundly Muse Bihi in a landslide presidential election in the self-declared state of Somaliland recently. MOU with Ethiopia signed in January this year by Bihi and Abyi, and inter-clan tensions in the city of Erigavo will  give sleepless nights to the new president-elect Cirro.
