Who got more cash: Edmonton or Calgary? The mayors' faces

15 September 2007

Mandel is livid, Bronconnier pleased as Stelmach hands out funds for citiesGraham Thomson, The Edmonton JournalPublished: 2:06 amTo say Edmonton's mayor rained on the premier's parade Friday afternoon is to say Niagara Falls drips water.Mayor Stephen Mandel opened up a deluge of disappointment and bitter feelings at the premier's news conference where the province announced a funding deal for municipalities.

Premier Ed Stelmach should have brought an umbrella.Mandel is not happy with the deal that will see Edmonton get a total of $2.1 billion over the next 10 years compared with Calgary's $3.3 billion.Mandel's disappointment was evident the moment he sat down at the news conference Friday with Stelmach and representatives of the province's municipalities.While the others, notably Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier, praised the deal, Mandel slumped back in his chair with his arms folded and an expression on his face that could stop a train.Mandel was careful to thank Stelmach for keeping his promise to remove strings from the funding and to allow municipalities to borrow money against future funds.But Mandel is angry at the funding formula that he says treats Edmonton unfairly.

And he wondered if maybe he made a mistake by being the nice, quiet guy in negotiations with the province."The past few years, I believe I have had good relations with this government," said Mandel. "I have spent countless hours talking to ministers trying to ensure my citizens were treated fairly. I have to wonder whether I should be a bit more vocal publicly." Well, he's vocal now.Mandel tried his best not to be a total wet blanket, making a point of thanking Stelmach several times during and after the news conference. However, he launched repeatedly into how Edmonton is hurt by a funding formula that fails to recognize the fact the city, unlike Calgary, is part of a region with many bedroom communities putting a strain on Edmonton's resources.
Residents from Sherwood Park, for example, work in Edmonton, drive on Edmonton roads and use Edmonton services -- but they don't contribute to Edmonton's tax base. Under the province's funding formula, Edmonton does not get credit for providing services to thousands of out-of-towners.It would be simplistic to write off Mandel's complaints as municipal-election campaigning. Edmonton has been short-changed in this respect for years.It didn't help that Mandel is fighting a flu bug. He coughed and spluttered his way through the news conference, taking off his glasses to wipe his eyes and at times putting his head in his hands.He looked miserable.Stelmach didn't exactly look delighted, even though he was praised by Bronconnier who called the deal "historic." It was an amazing turnaround from last spring when Bronconnier had slammed Stelmach's provincial budget, calling it "one of the most significant broken promises ever perpetrated on Albertans." Bronconnier's anger with the provincial government was instrumental in helping the Tories lose the Calgary- Elbow byelection to the Liberals in June.On Friday, however, Bronconnier turned to Stelmach and said of the new municipal funding deal: "Yes, you have kept your promise." Stelmach couldn't have, uh, paid Bronconnier for a better endorsement. Not even if he handed over, uh, let's say $3.3 billion over 10 years to the city of Calgary.Not that I'm trying to say Stelmach is crassly trying to buy Calgary's support. You could certainly make an argument that booming Calgary is simply getting what it deserves.Then again, you could also make an argument that Stelmach is trying to do all he can to reverse his dismal approval ratings in Calgary.The government is quick to point out the discrepancies between Edmonton and Calgary are not as bad as Mandel makes out.The Edmonton region, for example, will actually get $3.1 billion over 10 years, almost as much as Calgary. However, Mandel would be just as quick to respond that the city of Edmonton will get just $2.1 billion of that money -- but will have to provide infrastructure and services for people who visit and work here every day from outlying communities."Edmonton's infrastructure needs are every bit as significant of those in Calgary," said Mandel. "But Calgary has the benefit of receiving 90 per cent of its funds for the region. In Edmonton, we get the costs without the funds." This friction between two mayors goes far beyond a mere municipal tug-of-war. It demonstrates that Stelmach might just have entered a political twilight zone where he can do nothing right.

In the spring, Bronconnier was raining on his parade.Now it's Mandel.Forget the umbrella. Stelmach might want to get flippers and a wet suit.

Somali opposition alliance elects leaders - AP

MOGADISHU, Somalia:
A Somali opposition alliance will be led by an Islamic courts leader and a former parliamentary speaker, a spokesman announced on Thursday.
Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the former chairman of the executive council of Islamic Courts, was elected the new chairman of the Somali opposition alliance and Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden, the ousted parliamentary speaker, as chairman of the alliance's 191-member central committee, Sheik Yusuf Ainte, a delegate the alliance meeting, told the Associated Press by phone.

The new Alliance for the Liberation of Somalia was formed Wednesday in Eritrea, a tiny Horn of Africa nation that is the archrival of Ethiopia. Last December, Ethiopia sent troops into Somalia to help the Somali government retake the capital.

The alliance's formation was the culmination of a six-day meeting between dissidents expelled from the Somali parliament, civil society figures, expatriate Somalis and an Islamic group that controlled the Somali capital until being ousted by Ethiopian troops late last year. The group was formed in response to an official government-organized reconciliation conference held in the capital of Mogadishu which ended two weeks ago.

Its first action was to issue a two-week ultimatum for Ethiopian troops to withdraw from Somalia, raising the specter of more violence in the faction-riven Horn of Africa nation.

Much of Somalia has been without a functioning government since 1991, when rival warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on each other. The current government, which is backed by the U.N. and neighboring Ethiopia, has struggled to assert control and has been attacked by insurgents almost daily since December, when it toppled the Islamic group from power in Mogadishu and much of the south of the country.
Islamic fighters vowed to fight an Iraq-style insurgency and the U.N. says they are receiving weapons from Eritrea. On Saturday, a top U.S. official said Eritrea could be added to the list of countries that sponsor terrorism, in part because Somali Islamic leader Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, who is on U.S. and U.N. lists of terrorism suspects, attended the opposition conference.

Fighting between the Islamic extremists and the transitional government is complicated by a web of clan loyalties. Many powerful Somali figures command private militias, with fighters who believe their leaders' alliances are more important than ideology.
Thousands of civilians have been killed in fighting in the south of the country.
The involvement of Eritrea and Ethiopia is a further complication. Eritrea fought a bloody war for independence from Ethiopia that ended in 1993 and another war over a border dispute from 1998-2000. Tensions between the two remain high, and they may see Somalia as a proxy battleground. Ethiopia is seen by many American officials as an important ally in the war on terrorism.
On Thursday, Bereket Simon, a special adviser to Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, dismissed the alliance, saying, "It's not a new thing; it's not an unusual thing that happened. The Eritrean government has continued to harbor terrorists. It's the usual practice by the Eritrean government that they are helping these terrorists...We will definitely make sure that these terrorist groups will not come to Somalia."

Three killed in Somali violence - AFP

BAIDOA, Somalia (AFP) — Three civilians were killed Thursday in the Somali capital and a senior government official escaped an assassination bid in the country's central region.
The three were killed in separate gun attacks in Mogadishu's notoriously dangerous Bakara market while another civilian was wounded, witnesses said.
In the central Hiraan region, insurgents hurled a grenade at the convoy of the local district commissioner Elmi Saney, who survived the overnight ambush.
"They wanted to get rid of me, luckily I escaped, but three of my bodyguards were injured," he said.

"We know there are many insurgents hiding in this town and they want to kill government officials. We are investigating the incident and we will bring them to justice," Saney added.
Meanwhile, insurgents ambushed Somali forces in southern Mogadishu overnight, witnesses said. Clashes ensued but there were no immediate reports of casualties.
Also in the capital, Interior Minister Mohamed Mohamoud Guled announced the lifting of a nighttime curfew imposed in the capital in June.

"The government has lifted the curfew ... it does not mean that police will stop operations, but for the sake of the holy month of Ramadan so that people can go to worship at night," Guled told a press conference.

The Somali government is battling a deadly insurgency, mainly in Mogadishu, where near-daily attacks target state officials, as well as Somali and Ethiopian troops.

The Changing Political Winds - By S. Egeh

The changing political winds

Can Kulmiye take charge and seize the golden opportunity at its door step?

Equality, fairness and justice must be inscribed on the banner hanging from the coming Kulmiye party conference. These are the building blocks of peace, harmony and justice. These attributes are the ingredient for a peaceful coexistence, progress and trust. They make the difference that distinguishes the functional and healthy communities, from the unhealthy and dysfunctional ones.

Kulmiye party must change its image. It needs to clean up itself. It needs to rid itself of its non pragmatic fringe that are frozen on the past. kulmiye party must seize the moment and utilize this great opportunity that avails itself to them. They must act as a major prominent party. They must shake the rebel image, the renegade image and act as a major player in Somaliland politics. It is time to clip the wings of the troublesome fringe and their radical rhetoric. The time to tame these lone voices in the wilderness is now. Kulmiye must become a big diverse tent which accommodates many different groups, who at the end of the day have the same vision, which is the well-being, safety/security, progress and prosperity of all Somalilanders. Kulmiye party must become the party for all Somaliland. Kulmiye must give especial consideration to most neglected areas in all regions of Somaliland, and particularly the Eastern regions. They must become the party that is fully integrating our regions with the rest of the country. Development projects must be proposed and eventually implemented in these regions.

What we are witnessing these days in Somaliland is democracy in action. I am very optimistic about the future of our nascent democracy. The transitions from the tribal society into pluralistic non tribal democratic society, where people are divided according to party affiliations seem to be in full swing. Some people may say that tribe so and so is conducting business in the old tribal ways. My answer to that is the transition from the tribal society, into a modern society is a slow but steady process. The tribes will be with us for some time. But our transition from the tribal society into a nation state society structured in the form of political parties, interest groups, business groups, non profit groups, corporate and religious groups across clan lines, is under way. There will be so many challenges ahead, but we are in the right direction.

The joining of the majority of Mahad Asse subclan to the Kulmiye party was a bold move in the right direction. I see that as another sign of a society moving away from the tribal state into a nation state. It is a sign of society not voting in block for merely tribal affiliations. This signifies that Somalilanders are close to a political maturity. That daring move demonstrates that citizens, have the ability to make alliances across clans and vote for politicians on the basis of issues, political positions, leadership qualities and track record.

Gone are the days when people vote for politicians for their tribal basis alone. Politicians must get over that hiccup which is in the past. Politicians must earn the attention and the votes of citizens. Politicians must sell ideas, policies and issues to the voters. We belong to the same clan mentality is no longer enough?

In this transitional period, there is no problem if all clans/sunclans or some clans or subclans agitate for their rights or perceived rights. I don't care if they are Mahad Asse, Makahil, Mamaasan, Haberarfan, Haber Yonis, Haber Awal, Isa Muse, Haber Kilo, Hatti, Caboose, and Muse Dari yo. All of our clans and sub clans have to demand their rights under the Sun. That is the essence of democracy. I am sorry if I missed anybody, I am not an expert on tribes and tribalogy. But the idea is equal justice for all. The idea is the building of a healthy society based on social justice, civil rights and merit. We are envisioning a society that cherishes human rights, morality, Virtue, human dignity and safeguards every citizen’s rights.

A new trend was started in the state of Awdal, when a maverick politician Honorable Ikam H. Daud Warsame declared her candidacy from the Kulmiye party in the last parliamentary elections and won. MP Ikram H. Daud Warsame crossed both the clan and party lines. Despite the huge odds stacked against her, she handily won her parliamentary seat over seasoned politicians of the old paradigm. That was a shocker in Somaliland. A the time few others also won parliamentary seats from Kulmiye and UCID parties. Most Somalilanders often think the whole Awdal region and Western Gabiley districts are Rayaale country. The latter suspicion has been disproved by the several parliamentarians that won seats in kulmiye and UCID parties. But the suspicion persists despite the above named facts. The Mahad Asse exodus from UDUB has put that argument to rest once and for all. The Mahad Asse subclan must be commended for their bold move. Their courageous step will be a model of a radical change, assertiveness and strong conviction.

I hate to talk about tribes, but until the transition from the tribal to a non tribal democratic society is complete, it is inevitable to use the names of clans and subclans. In that back drop I would like to mention, the Mahad Asse exit from the ruling UDUB party to Kulmiye was a great step forward for Somaliland:
(1) that was a testament to our on going societal transformation.
(2) It is vivid proof that all Awdal citizens are neither monolithic nor a Rayaale strong hold. The Mahad Asse, other Samaroon tribes and many other Somalilanders voted for Rayaalle in droves in the 2003 elections. Why? Because, they thought he is the right man for the job. They thought he is a unifier who will continue the legacy of the policies of our late president Mohamed H. Ibrahim Egal (May Allah bless his soul).

The sudden Mahad Asse switch from the Rayaale camp at this time has surprised many people. This even angered some people who started hurling insults against that community. The government gave deaf ears to the long lingering grievances of the people regarding, the delivery of government services to the people of Somaliland, and especially to those residing in small towns and rural areas.

The same people who yesterday voted for president Rayaale are demanding the change of guard today. Why? Because they think president Rayaale and his administration came short of delivering a lot of their promises. Of course they did a lot of good things but their over all report cards did not convince many Somalilanders to keep them in office for another five years.

All they-the citizens are saying to the administration today is, with all things considered, you did fairly well, but we want to give the opportunity for new faces this time around. We thank you very much for what you have done for our beloved country, but it is time for a peaceful change.

The winds of change are blowing through the breadth and length of Somaliland from east to west, north and south. Currently the political typhoons for change are sweeping through out this land in full speed. There is no hamlet, mountain side, village and farm spared from the fever for political change.

Apparently the country is crying for a peaceful change for the better. The sudden shift in the political party fortunes is not about a clan. It is not against any clan or subclan. It is about social justice, equal rights, civil rights for all and fairness. All Somaliland clans and subclans have the right to stand up for their rights. Peacefully demanding for once rights is the attributes of democracy.

The huge change that transpired in Awdal is just like a tectonic plate movement. The massive gravitational pull has severely disrupted the political equation. It changed the configuration, structure and the political equilibrium. They have thrown the political equilibrium into a state of chaos and confusion. Obviously the emerging new cosmic forces for political change, has tipped the political balance in favor of Kulmye party. These seismic forces have put the complacent government into confusion and bewilderment.

In the heat of the moment the government dispatched about eight ministers to Borama apparently to do some damage control, following the Mahad Asse departure from UDUB and stop the bleeding. The minister’s congregation told the local media, they came to Borama to condemn the mistreatment of Awdal athletes in Hargeisa. But the people of Borama did not believe the afore-said is the only reason they came for. On the contrary locals believe the reason for the sudden visit of a large number of government ministers to Borama at this time was damage control, and an attempt to lure back the community that has left the governing party. Unfortunately those efforts end up as futile attempts which came at a very late hour. Clearly they were too little too late. The huge ministerial entourage came back from Awdal empty handed. Some claims of meeting with some prominent members of the new opposition groups in Awdal were denied by those leaders.

At the end of the day all the groups under Kulmiye's big tents must speak in one voice, which strongly believes on strong, sovereign, independent and recognized Somaliland Republic. Remember we already recognized ourselves. That is even more important than any recognition by anybody
