In Somalia, a Government on Life Support

MOGADISHU, Somalia — The trouble started when government soldiers went to the market and, at gunpoint, began to help themselves to sacks of grain.

Islamist insurgents poured into the streets to defend the merchants. The government troops got hammered, taking heavy casualties and retreating all the way back to the presidential palace, supposedly the most secure place in the city. It too came under fire.

Mohamed Abdirizak, a top government official, crouched on a balcony at the palace, with bullets whizzing over his head. He had just given up a cushy life as a development consultant in Springfield, Virginia. His wife thought he was crazy. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
“I feel this slipping away,” he said.

By its own admission, the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia is on life support. When it came here to the capital 15 months ago, backed by thousands of Ethiopian troops, it was widely hailed as the best chance in years to end Somalia’s ceaseless cycles of war, chaos and suffering.
But now its leaders say that unless they get more help — international peacekeepers, weapons, training and money to pay their soldiers, among other things — this transitional government will fall just like the 13 governments that came before it.

Less than a third of the promised African Union soldiers have shown up, the United Nations has shied away from sending peacekeepers any time soon and even the Ethiopians are taking a back seat, often leaving the government’s defense to teenage Somali troops with clackety guns who are clearly overwhelmed.

The Islamists have been gaining recruits, overrunning towns and getting increasingly bold. The new prime minister, credited as the government’s best — and possibly last — hope, is reaching out to them, and some are receptive. But it is unclear whether he has the power within his own divided government to strike a meaningful peace deal before it is too late.

The looming failure is making many people here and abroad question the strategy of installing the transitional government by force. In December 2006, Ethiopians troops, aided by American intelligence, ousted the Islamist administration that briefly controlled Mogadishu, bringing the transitional government to the city for the first time.

The Bush Administration said it was concerned about terrorists using Somalia as a sanctuary. The hunt for them continues with a recent American cruise missile strike aimed at a terrorist suspect in southern Somalia, but it missed, wounded several civilians and promptly incited protests.

Many Somalis, European diplomats and critics in Congress also question the State Department’s decision this month to label a Somali resistance group a terrorist organization, which many fear will only boost its profile among the increasingly disillusioned populace.

“The policy has failed,” said Representative Donald M. Payne, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Africa and global health. “Were Baghdad-izing Mogadishu and Somalia. Were making people feel wrongly treated and pushing them toward more radical positions.”
In recent weeks, the Islamists have routed warlords and militiamen who have been absorbed into the government forces but are undermining what little progress transitional leaders have made with their predatory tactics, like looting food. After 17 years of civil war, Somalia’s violence seems to be driven not so much by clan hatred, ideology or religiosity but by something much simpler: survival.

“We haven’t been paid in eight months,” said one government soldier named Hassan. “We rob people so we can eat.”

Nur Hassan Hussein, the prime minister, did not deny government troops were robbing civilians. “This is the biggest problem we have,” he said in an interview in late March.
But, he said, he does not have the money to pay them. Each month, more than half of government’s revenue, mostly from port taxes, disappears — stolen by “our people,” the prime minister said.

That leaves Mr. Nur with about $18 million a year in government money to run a failed state of 9 million of some of the world’s neediest, most collectively traumatized people.
And failed state may be a generous term. In many ways, Somalia is not a state at all, but an ungoverned space between its neighbors and the sea. Sometimes it seems that if anything binds this country together, it is scar tissue.

Take Hassan Ali Elmi, who was blinded by a bullet in 1992 and has been living ever since in a cell-like room in the gutted former ministry of public works. His son tugs him into town to beg for the equivalent of a few pennies a day, which buy less and less. At night, he lies on a thin foam mattress and waits for the shooting to stop. It doesn’t.
“All Somalia, all gun,” he says.

His neighbors are recently displaced people living in cardboard huts that crumble in the rain. Aid organizations say that more than half of Mogadishu’s estimated one million people is on the run.
Many of the same elements that lined up in the early 1990s to create a famine are lining up again — war, drought, displacement, skyrocketing food prices and aid workers pulling out. The United Nations World Food Program said on Thursday, in a warning titled “Somalia Sinking Deeper into Abyss of Suffering,” that the country was the most dangerous in the world for aid workers.

Most Somalis don’t argue with that. They say Mogadishu is more capriciously violent than it has ever been, with roadside bombs, militias shelling each other across neighborhoods, doctors getting shot in the head and 10-year-olds hurling grenades. Police officials say that many insurgents are actually hungry children paid a few dollars for their work.

In the shrinking zone that the government controls in southern Mogadishu, a couple of buildings have been splashed with a fresh coat of paint and new immigration forms at the airport ask travelers for their name, purpose of journey and caliber of weapon. Girls wearing bandanas dribble basketballs in a gym. Men sell fish by the seaside. A beat of life goes on. But north Mogadishu is another story.

“It’s like `Mad Max’ out there,” said Abdi Awaleh Jama, an ambassador at large, pointing from the presidential palace north toward the expanse of huts and ruins stretching into the distance.
In the rat-tat-tat of nightly machine gunfire, people are beginning to hear the government’s death knell. Many residents have mixed feelings about this. They contend that the government has enabled warlords. They say, almost without exception, that things were better under the Islamists. But they fear what lies ahead.

“We’re getting addicted to anarchy,” said Dahabo Abdulleh, a fuel seller.
Mr. Nur, a former Red Crescent official who became prime minister in November, is trying to peel away moderate Islamists from militant ones and get them to negotiate. He is making concessions to business leaders, who are widely suspected of financing the Islamists out of clan allegiances, and allowing them to form their own protection force. United Nation officials are trying to boost Mr. Nur’s prospects by providing $14 million to pay key government salaries and fix up ministries.

“This is urgent,” said William Paton, the acting United Nations coordinator for Somalia. “They are on thin ice.”
Government officials say much of the resistance is simply spoilers who are deeply invested in the status quo of chaos, like gun runners, counterfeiters and importers of expired baby formula.
But some of the men believed to be the biggest spoilers are part of the government. To get clan support — and just as crucially — more militiamen, transitional leaders have cut deals with warlords like Mohammed Dheere, now Mogadishu’s mayor, and Abdi Qeybdid, now police chief. These are the same men that the C.I.A. paid in 2006 to fight the Islamists, which backfired because the population turned against them, mostly because of their legacy of terrorizing civilians.

Hassan, the government soldier, says he has been in one of these warlord militias since he was 8. He toted his first Kalashnikov at age 10. He cannot read or write. He has thin wrists, a delicate face, empty eyes and a wife and two children to feed, which is why he said he routinely sticks people up.

“We are losing,” he said.

He said many of his friends were defecting to the Islamists because that was the only way to survive.

The Islamists have briefly captured several towns in recent weeks, freeing prisoners, snatching weapons and then melting back into the bush. Gone are the beards and the checkered scarves they used to wear. Many, like a young man named Elmi, are clean shaven and favor crisply pressed suits.

Elmi, who like Hassan said he could not reveal his last name, said business owners have sold gold, real estate and sheep to raise money for the Islamists. Elmi said he was part of the battle at the market on March 20 that began with the looting, and that the government lost three trucks, which was corroborated by government soldiers.

“We were there because we are everywhere,” Elmi said.
Mr. Abdirizak, the government official, buried some of the victims of that battle, young government troops who were slipped into graves behind the presidential palace in the moonlight.
One soldier was named Abdi Rashid. He had been wounded in another firefight about a month ago, and according to Mr. Abdirizak, “he shouldn’t even have been out there that day. It’s just that we don’t have enough guys.”

Abdi Rashid was shot in the heart at the market as the Islamists surrounded government troops. His last words to his friends, who wanted to carry him to safety, were, “Get out of here, get out of here.”

Mr. Abdirizak fell silent.

“I’m not sure how long I’ll stay,” he finally said. “ I want to help. But I didn’t come here to get killed.”

Uganda: Somali, Zanzibar, Djibouti Presidents Arrive

Kampala
Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, Zanzibar's Amani Abeid Karume and Djibouti's Sem Ismail Omar Guelleh

BY Henry Mukasa FOUR heads of state arrived yesterday to attend the official opening of the Gadaffi National Mosque and thanksgiving prayers.

Presidents Pierre Nkurunziza (Burundi), Sem Ismail Omar Guelleh (Djibouti), Amani Abeid Karume (Zanzibar) and Abdullahi Yusuf (Somalia) were invited by Libyan leader Maummar Gadaffi, who is on a four-day visit in Uganda. Gadaffi funded the completion of the national mosque at Old Kampala hill.

Abdullahi was the first to arrive at 9:00pm on Monday night. Karume, the chairman of the Zanzibar Revolutionary Council, is also the vice- president of the Republic of Tanzania. He landed at Entebbe yesterday afternoon.

Guelleh landed at dusk and was received by the Third Deputy Prime Minister, Kirunda Kivejinja.
In the evening, Entebbe Road witnessed a flurry of activity as the Police escorted various convoys to and from Entebbe airport.

As Guelleh was being driven to Munyonyo resort, his convoy met a long procession of ambassadors' cars at Kitubulu as they headed to State House Entebbe for a state banquet.
At Kitala, Guelleh was driven past the convoy of President Yoweri Museveni, who was heading to Entebbe to meet his guests.

Today, the presidents of New Guinea, Kenya, Rwanda and Chad are expected to join their colleagues. Sources said Gadaffi sent several aircraft to various African countries to ferry Muslims for the mosque inauguration and the prayers at Nakivubo Stadium.
Meanwhile, Madinah Tebajjukira reports that Gadaffi has blasted African leaders who have not prioritised the interests of their people, especially the marginalised women and vulnerable children.

Meeting women leaders from various institutions at Serena Hotel in Kampala, Gadaffi said African leaders should perceive the change sweeping through Africa as a social rather than a political one.

"The thinking of African leaders is directed towards election and political parties. They have no time to think about the youth, women, families and children. An African woman should think about herself and do something instead of paying attention to politicians," he implored amid chants of "Allahu-Akbar."

"You can have a dialogue with an African leader thinking he is thinking at the same level with you, yet he is thinking about future elections," he added, to more chants of "Allahu-Akbar, the president of the people."

"You are all aware of the situation and reality of Africa today. It's shifting from one position to another, and I wish it could be a social one to include the women, children and the youth," Gadaffi said. He repeated his earlier comments that African leaders are distracted by imminent elections, and whether their constitutions allow them more terms. "This is a problem."
He explained that the electoral system was copied from western countries and was not suitable to the African culture and environment.

"We have imported western systems and we have changed Africa. We are now grounded on political problems."

He cited the post-election violence that gripped Kenya after the disputed presidential elections last December.

About 1,000 people were killed in the ethnic clashes that followed.

War rally marks Iraq anniversary

Hundreds of anti-war protesters have staged a demonstration in Glasgow marking five years since the start of the conflict in Iraq.

The Scottish demonstration is part of a day of action in a number of cities throughout the UK and abroad.

The rally heard calls for troop withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as opposition to possible action against Iran.

Among the marchers was Rose Gentle, whose son Gordon died in Iraq.

Military families She was leading a contingent of military families demanding that troops be brought home.
Mrs Gentle said: "The military families are here today to say this is five years and over the last five years we've lost a lot of our armed forces.

"It's five years now and it's time our boys came home and for Gordon Brown to set a date and say this is when they will be out of Iraq.

"We hope that he starts helping the families and injured and those with combat stress and the veterans."

Representatives from organisations including Solidarity, the Communist Party of Britain, EIS and Unison also took part in the march.

The demonstrators set off from Blythswood Square and marched to Glasgow Green for a rally with speakers including Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Five years ago, thousands of people marched through the streets of Glasgow to say no to an illegal war in Iraq.

"Five years on, people across Scotland and now the party of government in Scotland still say no to this illegal war.

"All of us opposed to this war must continue to campaign for it to come to an end, for an end to the loss of thousands of lives and for our troops to come home safely."
Other cities participating in the worldwide protest organised by the Stop the War Coalition include London, Washington, Beirut, Sydney and Seoul.

The Glasgow march was organised by the Stop the War Coalition Scotland.

Somali Islamist Fighters Seize 2nd Town

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Islamist insurgents killed five government soldiers while briefly taking a strategic town in central Somalia, police and residents said, the second such seizure within 24 hours.

The attack late Thursday took place in Belet Weyne, near a critical road junction that links Somalia to the border with Ethiopia. Hundreds of troops are stationed at the junction, which is also Ethiopia's main supply route.

"They launched a surprise attack on the town from different directions, facing pockets of resistance from government forces and immediately took the control of the police station, the prison and a hotel government regional officials were using," said a police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

The town's police chief, Col. Abdi Aden, confirmed that five government soldiers had been killed.
Local resident Duniyo Ali said the fighters had retained control of the town for about three hours before voluntarily withdrawing. The area was now calm, she said.

Also Thursday, residents said Islamists had seized Hudur, a strategic southwestern Somali town that lies along the road leading from Ethiopia into Somalia, without firing a shot.

Islamist fighters have vowed to wage an Iraq-style war on the shaky Western-backed transitional government after Somali troops supported by their Ethiopian allies chased the Islamists from power in December 2006.

The Islamists had seized control of much of the south and the country's capital, Mogadishu, which they had held for six months.

Since the Islamists launched their insurgency, thousands of Somalis have been killed. Somali government troops and officials come under daily attack and the U.N.-backed administration is viewed by many Somalis as corrupt and ineffective. The impoverished country is riven between warring clans and awash with weapons.

The U.S. has linked the militiamen to al-Qaida. On Monday, the U.S. launched a missile strike in a Somali town along the Kenyan border, targeting a suspect in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

Islamic Fighters Move Into Somali Town

By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN –
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — More than 100 masked Islamic militiamen entered a strategic town Thursday in the latest bold move by a force defeated two years ago at the hands of Somalia's Western-backed government and its Ethiopian allies.

The Islamists held the capital, Mogadishu, and much of southern Somalia for six months before they were pushed out by the Ethiopians in December 2006.

They have since waged a deadly insurgency and carried out numerous attacks in Mogadishu. They have also staged brazen raids in towns including Bur Haqaba, a hilltop town about 35 miles from the provincial capital of Baidoa in the south. The group released prisoners from jail and killed a police chief before retreating, witnesses said.

Last month, Islamic fighters briefly took over Dinsor in southern Somalia, killing nine soldiers, police said.

The U.S. has linked the militiamen to al-Qaida, and on Monday, the U.S. launched a missile strike in eastern Somalia targeting a suspect in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

On Thursday, the masked fighters entered Hudur, a southwestern town that lies along the road leading from Ethiopia into Somalia.

"There was not a single gunshot," said Mustaf Mahad, a well-known businessman in Hudur.
"The fighters took positions at two locations in the town, we do not know if their aim is to take over the town or not," another resident told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. He and other residents said there have been only a smattering of government troops in the town recently.

A government spokesman said he could not confirm Islamists had moved into the town and had no comment.

Thousands of Somalis have been killed in the fighting between Islamic insurgents and Ethiopian troops supporting Somalia's shaky government over the past 12 months.

Late Wednesday, a fire fight between Somali insurgents and police killed five people — four police officers and one civilian — on the outskirts of Mogadishu, witnesses said. The insurgents used machine-guns, rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles in the surprise attack, said Asho Nur, who sells tea at the site.

A spokesman for the military wing of the radical Islamic movement, Abdirahin Isse Adow, said the aim of the raid was "to cripple both the military and the economic sources of the enemy."
On Monday, fighters linked to the group overran Bur Haqaba, a hilltop town about 35 miles from the provincial capital of Baidoa in the south. The group released prisoners from jail and killed a police chief before retreating, witnesses said.

Official: Missile aimed at FBI target in Somalia

Official: Missile aimed at FBI target in Somalia
It is unclear whether Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed when a U.S. submarine fired a tomahawk missile at the target, the official said Tuesday.

The FBI wants Nabhan, 28, for questioning in the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and the unsuccessful attack on an Israeli charter jet in Mombasa, Kenya.
Ten Kenyans and three Israelis were killed when three suicide bombers detonated a car bomb outside Mombasa's Paradise Hotel.

The bombing took place within minutes of an unsuccessful missile attack on an Israeli charter jet, which was taking off with 261 passengers and 10 crew members.
Nabhan is also thought to be an associate of al Qaeda member Harun Fazul, who was indicted for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Saalam, Tanzania, according to the FBI.

More than 200 people were killed and 4,000 wounded in the attacks, most of them Kenyans.
The U.S. military has long sought Nabhan because he is believed to be deeply involved in al Qaeda's East African operations, the senior official said.
The FBI announced in February 2006 that it was seeking information on Nabhan and any possible links to those incidents.

The Pentagon on Monday confirmed that the U.S. military struck "a target against a known al Qaeda terrorist."

The strike hit near the town of Dhoobley along the Somali-Kenyan border, a U.S. military official said Monday.

It was aimed at a "facility where there were known terrorists" affiliated with East African al Qaeda operations, the official said. Watch report on what U.S. calls a precision strike »
The strike destroyed two houses -- killing three women and three children and wounding another 20 people, said Dhoobley's district commissioner, Ali Nur Ali Dherre. Dherre said the remains of the missiles were marked "US K."

World should stop neglecting Somalia-U.N. envoy

By Ingrid Melander
BRUSSELS, March 4 (Reuters) - The international community should stop "collectively punishing" Somalia for past errors by neglecting it, a senior United Nations envoy to the war-torn country said a day after a U.S. missile attack there.

Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the U.N. Secretary General's High Representative for Somalia, said Monday's missile strike by the United States highlighted the need to put the lawless Horn of Africa state back on top of the international agenda.

"This is not new, and the only comment I can make on it is that Somalia deserves attention," Ould-Abdallah said when asked about the two missiles fired at what Washington called "a known Al Qaeda terrorist".

"They (Somalis) have made a number of mistakes ... They destroyed their country ... They have not been cooperative with the United Nations in the 1990s, but these are not reasons for collective punishment which I think the international community is doing by ignoring their plight," Ould-Abdallah told Reuters in an interview.

In Brussels for talks with European Union ambassadors, he urged the 27-nation EU to do more than just send food aid, saying the priorities were to protect civilians and ensure there was no impunity for humanitarian crimes committed in Somalia. The U.N. Security Council has the primary responsibility to take up the divided country's future and work for a solution, he said, but the African Union, the Arab League and the EU also have some responsibility.
International organisations are not backing efforts by the Somali government to talk with the opposition, he said.

The toll from Monday's attack was not known. Hundreds of residents of Dobley, the remote town in southern Somalia hit by the missiles, staged an anti-U.S. demonstration on Tuesday. Residents said they thought the missiles were aimed at senior Islamist leaders meeting nearby.
The Islamists have been waging an insurgency against Somali government forces.
On Jan. 8, 2007, a U.S. AC-130 gunship struck Islamists in southern Somalia in Washington's first overt military action there since pulling out of a U.N.-backed peacekeeping mission in 1994 after the "Black Hawk Down" incident.

That attack, and a similar one shortly afterwards, struck Islamists fleeing Ethiopian and Somali troops who cornered them in southern Somalia during a two-week war to rout the militants.
On June 21, a U.S. Navy ship fired missiles at Islamist fighters and foreign jihadists hiding in the mountains in the northern Puntland region.
The United States accuses Somali Islamist insurgents of harbouring al Qaeda fugitives responsible for planning and executing the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. (Editing by Tim Pearce)

Somalia: Situation Report no. 7 – 22 Feb 2008

Main Developments

A major search for arms in the main market in Mogadishu, Bakara, triggered heavy fighting this week between Ethiopian/Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces and anti-government elements. Following the fighting on 18 and early hours of 19 February, at least seven people died including three civilians and several others were wounded. Fresh fighting broke out again on 21 February with about five casualties reported. There was restricted movement in and out of the market during the week completely paralysing trading for thousands of civilians left in Mogadishu who solely depend on the market for their daily income. Despite the skirmishes, WFP supported 'wet feeding' programme is ongoing in 10 districts feeding an average of 53,000 people on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, on 20 February, the UN Security Council extended the African Union-led mission in Somalia for another six months. Currently, the mission, which has also been attacked several times by anti-government elements, consists of 1,700 Ugandans and 192 Burundian troops.
In order to eventually phase out water trucking along the Mogadishu/Afgooye road and establish more sustainable water supply, partners in the water cluster are rehabilitating and developing existing water supply systems including extension of water pipeline, and construction of water tanks, bladders and kiosks. Construction of 1,100 additional latrines and wash basins are also ongoing. UNICEF and partners commenced the second round of a health campaign to provide 56,000 children under five and 11,200 pregnant women in the Afgooye Corridor with basic immunization, Vitamin A and iron supplementation and de-worming. The first round took place in early December 2007.

Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET) latest Weather Hazards Impact Assessment confirms that rainfall has been below-normal for the short rains season (October - December) in most parts of east Africa. In the central regions of Somalia, this has caused poor pasture conditions and limited water availability for the pastoral and agro-pastoral populations. Already, the central regions of Mudug and Galgaduud are experiencing severe drought. In southern Somalia, the assessment says crops suffered from the low rainfall totals, which could limit food availability until the next harvest season in March.

The priorities in the area are food and water and a number of UN agencies and Non Governmental Organisations are in the area responding to the crisis. In Galgaduud, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) completed a non-food items distribution to about 8,000 households and another to 4,000 households in Mudug region. Plans in the coming weeks to upscale operations in the area are at an advanced stage.

Puntland

The overall security situation in Puntland has been unsatisfactory following threats of kidnapping of aid workers and actual kidnappings. The current situation does not yet allow a return of NGO international staff and might also compromise smooth running of operations in the area.

Severely wounded people from the bomb blast on 5 February might be discharged as authorities claim that they are taking up much needed space in the hospital. The discharges could cause concerns as some of them have undergone amputations and may need further specialized care. Humanitarian workers in Bossaso are advocating for alternative places where the people can stay. Other victims have been supported with provision of 24 jerry cans, 34 insecticides treated bed nets and plastic sheets during the week.

In response to the fire that broke out in five Internally Displaced Peoples (IDP)' camps in Bossaso on 7 February; UNICEF has provided 140 family relief kits and 280 jerry cans.
For those displaced by the Sool conflict, UNICEF has so far provided 2,000 family relief kits and supplies to purify water, including over 6,000 jerry cans, eight bladder tanks and two drums of chlorine along with training on how to use it. Agencies continue to rehabilitate wells, truck in water and construct latrines (400 planned), as well sd raise awareness amongst IDPs about the importance of hygiene. In addition, eight health posts have been provided with supplies and essential drugs, and some 6,380 IDP families have received mosquito nets. Health and Nutrition mobile teams continue to reach locations where no health facilities are available with basic health services and immunisation.

Other

CARE International Somalia, with support from the Disaster Emergency Committee (UK), has prepared a Somali language version of 'The Sphere Project' manual to be shared with humanitarian workers (both UN and NGO) and Government officials in Somalia. The Sphere manual gives minimum standards in disaster response as well as a broad process for collaboration, and is an expression of commitment to quality and accountability in humanitarian work.

“Ma garanayo goorta deeq Burco iyo Hargeysa la gaadhsiiyey reer Boorama dembi ka dhigeen” Cabdiraxman Saylici

Cabdirahan Zaylici oo difaacay sifihii Xisbiga uu Wareejiyey deeqdii qalabka caafimaad
Musharraxa xisbiga Kulmiye ee mansabka Madaxweyne kuxigeenka, C/raxmaan C/laahi Ismaaciil (Saylici), ayaa dafaacay sifihii xisbigiisu kula wareegeen iyo sidii ay qalabkii caafimaad oo deeqo ahaa ugu wareejiyeen wasaaradda Caafimaadka iyo xukuumadda Somaliland.

Sida uu ku soo waramay Maxamed Cumar Sheekh, Weriyaha Haatuf ee gobolka Awdal, C/raxmaan Saylici oo shalay shir-jaraa’id ku qabtay Boorama, ayaa dhinaca kale waxaa uu kaga hadlay ujeedooyinka laga leeyahay ama xukuumad iyo kuwa gobolkan Awdal ka taageera xisbiga udub ka leeyihiin hadalada beryahan dambe lagu durayo isaga iyo xisbiga Kulmiyeba, taas oo uu ku tilmaamay inay tahay dacaayad siyaasadeed oo xukuumaddu miciin moodday markii dadweynaha Reer Awdal ka soo jabeen xisbiga UDUB iyo Dawladda Rayaal,e danna ay u arkaeen Xisbiga Kulmiye.

C/raxmaan Saylici ayaa shalay shirkiisan kaga hadlay arrimo kale oo door ah oo ay ku jiraan sida isaga iyo taageeraayaasha xisbiguba uga go’antahay in aanay dhegaysan doonin aflagaado kasta iyo dacaayaad kasta oo ay xukuumaddu miciin mooddo.

Hadalakii uu halkaa ka yidhina waxa ka mid ahaa “Waxaad mooddaa in xukuumadda iyo kuwa taageera ay waayadan dambe hal-hays ka dhigteen Saylici baa Kulimiye siiyey deeq dadka gobolka Awdal loo soo ururiyey, hadaladaasi iyo kuwa kaleeba waxaad arkaysaa inay yihiin kuwa gobolkan Awdal ka dhigaya inuusan ku jirin Somaliland, deeqda reer Awdal loo soo ururiyo ama reer Somaaliland loo ururiyaanna tahay mid ku kooban gobolka Awdal, iyadoo siday hadalka u dhigayaanna ay dareemayso in deeqda reer Awdal ama xisbigaa qaranka ee Kulmiye uu gadhsiiyo goboladdaa kalena ay reer Boorama u tahay dembi gobolka laga galay, waana xaasidnimo iyo cunsurinnimo, maadaama gobolada kale ee ay Somaliland ka kooban tahayna xaq u leeyihiin in la gaadhsiiyo wixii dadkeedu soo ururiyaan.

Taageerayaasha xisbiga Kulmiye ee gobolka Awdal waxa qalabkaasi kaga baxday lacag dhan $15,000 oo Doolar, oo lagu soo gaadhsiiyey, dawladduna xaq uma lahayn inay cashuurto ama tidhaa cashuur baan ka dhaafnay, inaan qalabkaasi ka kulmiye ahaan u guddoonana xaq baan u lahayn, inaan dedaalkayaga sheeganana xaq baan u lahayn, waayo dawladu magacayaga horee ayey u sheegi weyday dedaallo aan muujinay oo taageerayashiisu ku geeyeen gobolada Sool.
Waxa wax lala yaabo ah oo daciifnimo ah in la yidhaa ha sheegina xisbigaasi kulmiye wixii uu dalka keenay, waxaanan u aragnaa laba arrimood.

Waa tan kowaade inay maamulayaasha dawlaadda ee daba ordayey qalabkan dhkhtarka weyn mooyee aan la dhigi karin tuulooyin aan lahayn cisbitaallo la doonayey in la lunsado oo agaasimayaasha daba ordayey doonayeen inaan Kulmiye la tusin.Iyo tan labaad oo ah in xukuumaddu Kulmiye u quudhi la’dahay sida daacdnimada leh ee ay dalka u soo gaadhsiiyeen, loona qaybiyo cisbitaalada dalka.

Tan sadexaad waxaan odhan karaa waa markii u horeysay ee deeq lagu wareejiyo xisbigaasi, isla markaana uu si daacadnimo ku jirto dawladda ugu wareejiyo, mana dhici jirin tan oo kale oo dawladda uun baa wixii shicibka debedda ee Somaliland iska soo ururiyaan meel dhigan jirtay, isla markaana aan la ogeyn meesha ay mareen.

Waxaan la yaabaa oo kale wasiiro iyo taagerayaasha xisbiga Dawladdu waxaan u sheegeynaa in qalabkaasi annaga oo xisbiga kulmiye iyo taageerayaashiisa gobolkan Awdal uu ku qornaa, magacoodana uu dalka ku yimi, iyagana loo soo wakiishay, wakhtigaasina uu ahaa wakhti ka horreeyey aafada ka dhacday gobolka Awdal, alaabtaasina ay dalka timi aafadaasi ka hor, ciddii ujeeddo ka lihina iyadaa og, waxanan leeyahay raggaa maanta leh goboblkii awdal baa Kulmiye ka qadiyey qalabkaasi, waa ragga maanta ka xun qalabkaasi inuu gaadho Somaliland cisbitaaladaeeda, sida deeqaha reer Awdalba loo geeyo Sanaag iyo gobolka Sool, mana fiicna in gobolkan laga dhigo mid u xidhan xisbi keliya iyo dad keliya, afkana laga sheegto Somaliland, deeqda reer Somaliland ay gaadhsiiyaan reer Awdal siyaasiyiinta Hargeysa fadhida iyo kuwa halkan jooga ee dawladda taageeraa ka dhigaan qalab dad shisheeye ah la siiyey oo aan Somaliland ahayn.

Sidee reer Awdal lagu dooran doonaa haddii halkaa la marayo. halaga waantoobo arrimaha keenaya kala qoqobnaanta Somaliland iyo cunsurinnimda. Ta nalagu haystaa waa taa, kana yeeli mayno inaan gobolaysi iyo qabyaalad wax ku bixinno ee qarannimo ayaan wax ku bixinaynaa”.

Eng. Shimbirna, Ma Been Baad Ka Sheegteen?

Eng. Shimbirna, Ma Been Baad Ka Sheegteen?.
Waxaynu aad iyo aad uga xumaannay wareysi Shabakada SaylacNews la yeelatay Col Eng Cumar Cabdilaahi Hande, oo ku magac dheer Cumar Shimbir. Waxa aynu ka xumaanayna ma aha Shabakada Saylac.com laftaarkeeda oo waraysatay Eng Shibmir, oo taasi waa wax lagu farxee ma aha wax laga xumaado, Hambaylo iyo bogaadin ayayna nagu leeyihiin inay runta u dagaagaan.

Hase yeeshee Cumar Shimbir waa halyeey Soomaaliyeed iyo halyeey reer Awdala oo guud, sida aynu ku wada naqaanno. Waxanan aad uga xumahay inaan maanta uun kusoo baraarugay in meelo wax lagu qoray lagu eedaynayo Eng Shimbir. Nasiib darro meesha waxaasi ku qoran yahay wali ma galin ama mana akhrisan, oo wakhti badan ma haysan maalmahan.

Kuwa wajiyada badan ayaas kolleyba waxba ka xishoon oo ay ka suurtoowdaa inay iyagoo wajigoda qarinaya meelahaas dadka ku af-lagaadeeyaan. Kuwaasina sida Engineer Shimbir u saamixin IF iyo AAkhiraba, ilaa iyo ay isa soo caddeeyaan, ayay anagana naga yihiin, oo saamixi mayno.

Fadeexaddan ku lug leh daawooyinka ee lagu kala eedeeyay labada Engineer ee kala ah Shimbir iyo Saylici, waa fadeexad aad u fogaatay una baahan in si deg-deg ah loo soo af jaro. Beelaha Maxadcase ayay dul saaran tahay, beelaha kalana waajibkoodu waa inay beeshaas ka sugaan warbaxin rasmi ah, ee ma aha inay ka faa’iidaystaan, oo taasi waa foolxumo labaad, kuna wada fidi doonta Samarroon.

Dawooyinka waxa laga soo diray ayaa nagu maqaalo ah, dalka USA, waliba dadka qaarkoodna waxay tuhmayaan Canadana inay qayb ku leedahay. Hase yeeshee magac ku qornayd ma jirin oo taasi hadday dhici lahayd, fadeexadanu sidan imikana uma fogaateedn. Cumar Shimbir ayaa been laga sheegay, oo hadana Saylici ayaa been laga sheegay. Kuwa warxumo tashiilka wadina halkaas ku joogsan maayaan, malaha inkaarina ma qabato. Labo arrimmood ayaan idiin soo jeedinaynaa inaad yeeshiin:

(1) Beelaha Maxamad Case.
Midda koowaad waxay u taallaa beelaha Maxamad Case, inay iyagu shir dhexdooda ah qaataan, soona saaraan warxbixin lagu caddaynayo cidii ka danbeysay fadeexada dawooyinka. Ilaa iyo inta ay shirkaasi qaadanayaana, ee wakhtigu u saamaxayana aanay hadal danbe ka soo saarin arrintan iyada ah. Dadka fadeexadeeyay Shimbir iyo Saylicina, si wada jir ah loo baadho, badkana loo soo dhigo.

(2). Beelaha Kale ee Samarroon.
Tolnimada guud iyo gobnimadu ma aha in marka tolkaa iyagu dhexdooda wax yar oo dhibaato ah isku keenaan ama isku geystaan, in laga faa’iidaysto, oo kolba sidii la rabo loo jiido. Baaqan aynu usoo jeedinayno beelaha kale ee bulsho weynta Samarroon wuxu yahay. In ilaa iyo inta Maxamad case ad ka helaysiin warbixin danbe, ad sheekada halkaas ku dhaaftiin. Kuwa idinku jira ee an ka soo jeedin beelaha Maxamadcasana ee been abuurka wadana ad soo qabatiin ama ad naga aamusiisiin.

Castro quits as Cuba’s president

The ailing 81-year-old Fidel Castro has resigned as Cuba’s president after foiling attempts to topple him for nearly half a century, leaving on his own terms by clearing the way for his brother Raul to take power.

The end of Castro’s rule, the longest in the world for a head of government, frees 76-year-old Raul to implement reforms he has hinted at since taking over as acting president when Castro fell ill in July 2006.

“My wishes have always been to discharge my duties to my last breath,” Castro wrote in a letter published today in the Communist Party daily Granma.

But, he wrote, “it would be a betrayal to my conscience to accept a responsibility requiring more mobility and dedication than I am physically able to offer.”

It wasn’t until several hours after Castro’s message was posted on the internet, that official radio began spreading the news across the island. Cubans seemed to go about their business as usual, having seen Castro’s resignation as inevitable, but with a certain sadness.

Cuban dissidents welcomed the news as a possible first step toward possible change.
Moderate opposition leader Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo, a former commander who fought alongside Castro in the revolution, expressed hopes that whoever follows him “will have freedom to launch economic and political changes as well.”

Castro temporarily ceded his powers to his brother after undergoing intestinal surgery. Since then, the elder Castro has not been seen in public, appearing only sporadically in official photographs and videotapes and publishing dense essays about mostly international themes as his younger brother has consolidated his rule.

Castro remains a member of parliament and is likely to be elected to the 31-member Council of State on Sunday, though he will no longer be its president.

Castro also retains his powerful post as first secretary of Cuba’s Communist Party. The party leadership posts generally are renewed at party congresses, the last of which was held in 1997.

Jawhar iyo Jiinlow oo ay ka dhex muuqato farshaxankii oday biiqay

Aduunyada nin noolow maxaa aragti kuu laaban. Nin wayn waxa ku haboon iinuu uu yeesho meel loogu soo hagaago. Markii jawhar uu lacagta ka urursanaayey bulsho waynta reer awdal wuxuu matali jiray in uu yahay qof caafimaad qaba.

Waxasa cadaatay in uu waabayda isaga laftiisu qaybiyo isagoo isticmaalaya shabakada ku can baxday been abuurka iyo kala dilka sokeeyaha ee harowo. Maalinba magac cusub ayaa nagu soo kordha oo farshaxan la galiyey. Laakiin jawharow waxaad wadkaagii u yeedhatay markaad afkaa hilibka bakhtiga Scandanivianka ku cunaysay aad ku taagtay Col. Omar Abdilahi Hande (Shinbir). Marka hore maxaad ka taqaanaa Col. Hande markaa aad leedahay waxa arinta deeqda xisbiga kulmiye ka danbeeyey nin usoo sheeqayey maamulo hore oo la yidhaah shinbir. Waxa nasiib daro ah in aad si xun u isticmaalaysid warbaahinta in badan oo inaga mid ah ku cusub. Waliba kuwii markii ayna warbaahintani jirin adhiga raaci jiray.

Waa su’aale maxaa ceeb ah maxaa lagu fanaa?

Waxa lacag loo ururin jiray garoonkii ay dhawr ka jeer dhagaxa dhigtay huda barkhad ee uu rayale rabay inuu doorshada ku galo. Waxa lacagta dadka ka guraayey jufada uu Jawhar u hadlaayo ee uu Col. Hande iyo cabdirahman Zaylici u aflagaadaynaayo. Gudida loo xil saaray in ay garoonka dhisaan ee borama joogtay waxay ka koobnaayeen ama u badnaayeen jufada jawhar u ooyaayo. Qof kale kuma jirin.

Laakiin umada kale ee gobolka ku nooli kama hadlin oo waxay u haysteen in ay wax qabanayaan oo way taageereen. Laakiin waxa cadaatay in garoonkii uu siyaasad noqday oo Rayale sugaayo inuu doorashada ku galo sida uu u hor istaagay jidkii la dhisi lahaa. Waxana cadaatay in la cunay lacagtii dadka laga ururiyey ee garoonka lagu dhisi lahaa siduu Rashid Cabdi Bakal horey u sheegayba (Alaaya cisak). Gari allay taqaan. Bilad sharaf ayuu mutaystay Rashid oo runta isha ka tuuray.

Markaa waxa nasiib daro ah in runta la’iska indho tiro oo la eedeeyo masuulo kaalin wayn kaga jira bulsho waynta awdal, Somaliland, iyo Somaali oo dhan sida Col. Shinbir oo kale. Waxa hadaba iska dhex galay dad badan oo adhiga jiri jiray siyaasada, qabyaalada, caawinta umada, iyo run ku hadalkii. Adhi jir ceeb ma’aha ee laakiin fakir kiisa ayaa gaaban oo qabowgaa Sweden ayuu u haystaa inuu Australia ka jiro. Oo wuxuu moodayaa in cirka daruurtu saran tahay ee isaga dul taagi ay sidoo kale dul taagan tahay cidhifka Koonfureed.

Waxase ka khaldantay in cidhifka koonfureed wakhtigan lagu jiro uu u helo 6 bilood oo qorax ah (wixii ka sareeya ama ka hooseeya 66 (N or S) degree parallel) oo loona yaqaano “Winter Solstice” halka uu cidhifka waqooyi uu kaga jiro qaboobe ama “winter” ama 6 bilood oo mugdi ah. Sida “Summer Solstice” ka koonfurtu ay qaboobe ugu jirto; waqooyiguna kulayle.

Adhi jirtu waxa haboon inay ogaadaan in dhulku uu u kala qaybsamo waqooyi iyo koonfur oo 0 (zero degree equator-ku) kala badho; wixii kor ka xiga waxa loo yaqaanaa Northern Hemisphere; wixii hoos ka xigana waxa loo yaqaanaa Southern hemisphere.

Wakhti kala duwan ayey laba xili kala helaan; qaboobaha iyo kulaylaha. Waxba kugu daalin mayo saynis ee waxaan uga dan leeyahay. Aduun yadu ma’aha warka xumaha salka ku haya ee aad raga halyeeyada ah ku aflagaadaynayso oo kaliya; ee waxa jira dhinacyo badan oo laga eego wixii khalad ah ama sax ah.

Maxaa ku khaldan in laga soo horjeesto dawlada fadhiidka ah ee dalxiiska ku jirta? Maxaa ku jaban in siyaasad caafimaad qabta la’ wada ciyaaro. Been aan jirin maxaa keenay in aad ka faafiso halyeeygii soomaaliyeed ee Col. Cumar Cabdulahi Hande (Shinbir); Waxaan ka dagaalamayaa in aad siiso qof walba sharaf uu leeyahay. Hadii kale waxa iman doonta in geesigii Yusuf Talan in maalin dhow la’aflagaadeeyo. Waar wax iskula hadha oo runta ka hadla. Waabaydu halka ay kasoo maaxanayso waa naqaanaa; laakiin maanta maalin aan ahayn ayuu garan. Hareeraha si wanaagsan iskaga fiiri.

Deeqda la diray

Waxa cad in deeqdaasi ay tahay mid loogu tala galay siyaasiyiinta xisbiga kulmiye looguna talo galay in la’ tuso xukuumada fadhiidka ah in calankeedii dhacay. Waxa diray deeqdan oo mudo sadex bilood ah la’ qorshaynaayey; qurbo jooga waqooyiga maraykanka iyo dad yurub degan. Waxa laga diray lacag ururin loogu talo galay siyaasada oo baryahanba socotay; lacagtaa waxa bixiya qof kasta oo taageersan dhaqdhaqaaqa gobonimo doonka e Cabdirahman Zaylici uu hormoodka ka yahay. Laf iyo qabiil gaar ah ma’laha. Kadib waxa khaladka keenay in ay isku soo dul dhaceen masuubadii ka dhacday xeebta awdal iyo deeqdan gaadhay dalka. Oo sida qof kastaa og yahay container laga diray Maraykan wuxuu u socdaa Africa hal bil. Markaa qof kaliya oo lagu magacaabi karaa ma jiro waayo dhaqdhaqaaqan gurmadka qaranku malaha waji gaar ah iyo magic qof oo la yeedhiyo. Waa umad isku duuban oo diyaar u ah in Rayale markale soo noqon. Kadibna maxkamad lasoo taago musuqmaasuqa uu galay darteed. Isaaq ayaa ku jira, mahadcase, habarcafaan iyo lafo kale oo kasoo jeeda jufada Rayale lafteeda oo arkay in guusho dul taagan tahay kulmiye.

Hadaba wax hubso kadib awliyooyinka masaajidada ugu gal. List-ka dadka ka qayb qaata taakulaynta xisbiga kulmiye oo lagu daabacay saylicipress.net mudo aan dhawayn dadka taageersan ururka badankoodu waxay ku jiraan dadkii taageeray warkii ay soosaareen odayasha lughaya sida ay anigu filayo-
Wa bilaahi tawfiiq
