Hassan Sheikh: Not the President I Expected

Hassan Sheikh: Not the President I Expected
July 4, 2013

People in general and his staunch supporters in particular refer to our current president, Hassan Mohamoud as the elected president. This statement is misleading as President Hassan was not elected but selected. The president was selected by a handful of un-elected parliamentarians who came to the limelight when limited elders thumbed their signatures on paper. Furthermore, Hassan became the president not because of his intellect, experience, and proven leadership but because the selection process occurred in his own backyard.

It is my opinion that if the process were to happen in any other city, say for example Hargeisa, we could have professor Samatar or Silanyo as the president. And if it were held, say, in Garowe, Abdiweli would have been the man on the top. Farmajo would’ve fared better in any other city. And if elections were to be held in Kismayu now, Ahmed Madoobe would be hoisting the trophy.

Some would argue that all clans, at least the major ones have equal representation in the Somali parliament, and therefore, candidates have equal access to these representatives. True, but, imagine, if the elections were in Hargeisa, Silanyo would have his kin business owners showering these parliamentarians with gifts, free lunches, and other accommodations. If you think the fact that hotel owners, SUV owners, security guards in Mogadishu and the Khat bundlers did not tip the balance in favor of the candidates from the surroundings, think again.

There are few experiences that I will always remember that can’t be erased from my memory. The birth of my first new born, the passing of my father, and the time a crocodile almost killed my swimming partner. Other experiences that are vividly stamped in my consciousness include the release of Nelson Mandela from the Robben Island, the tumbling and smoking twin towers in that fateful 2001 morning, and the selection of our current president Hassan sheikh Mohamoud. I Remember the latter three events because of their significance to the world, to the greatness of humanity in the case of Mandela, and to the future of the Somali people.

In 2001, right at the aftermath of the September tragedy, the world stood with the USA in solidarity and offered support. Because of its superiority in military hardware and the weakness of the enemy, America got cocky and arrogant. A few days later, then President G.W. Bush grabbed the now infamous aphorism and said to the rest of the world “you are either with us or against us”. The moment Bush finished his phrase, Americans knew that many will not be with them and the rest was history.  The world coalition became the “willing coalition” of Poland and Britain.

In contrast, Mandela stepped out of the gates of his prison cell and met thousands upon thousands of supporters, mostly black South Africans, wielding machetes ready for battle. Revenge was in the air. Mandela, did not like what he was seeing, and there, he told his backers that they need to change their behavior or he will not be their man. He knew that he would not allow these angry young men, regardless of their past grief, to destroy his country. Mandela knew he needed the trust of the non-black South Africans to keep the country together.  He knew that South Africa could only go forward with the whole sum of its people, Blacks, whites, Asians, and Coloreds. By standing up to his supporters, Nelson earned the trust of his tormentors and detractors. White South Afrikaners stayed put and never left their country. That was the mark of statesmanship. Nelson Mandela had a vision to save South Africa.

To paraphrase the former Texas senator, Ben Nelson, during his vise-presidential debate with Dan Quayle, he aptly retorted “Mr. President, you ain’t no Nelson Mandela”.


When President Mohamoud was selected among his peers, with his supposedly squeaky clean past, Somalis were elated. Somalis of all clans and regions were excited. Some even equated the selection of Hassan to be Manna from heaven. Hassan had a lot going on for him when he came to Villa Somalia: nationalists longing for unity, the International Community ready to help, and Al-shabab forces in their last throngs.

The mark of a competent president is demonstrated by the ability to recruit the right men and women in his cabinet, assign them the right posts, and entrust the lieutenants to do the right jobs. As we all know now, Hassan has none of that. The President is a foreign diplomat. He receives visiting deputy prime ministers of nations, large and small. He meets with the undersecretary of environment for the UN. He negotiates with IGAD secretariat about what to do with Ahmed Madoobe. In the process, the President reduced his prime minister akin to what we call here in the USA an affirmative action nomination or a token presentation to show diversity.

In my years as an observer to Somali clan politics, I have never seen the two most influential segments of the Somali clans so polarized that it threatens the existence of the republic. But apparently, the president does not share my pessimism and fails to recognize the danger. Somalis are not good at finding common ground but are well skilled in creating divisions. And this president does not miss to create mistrust between two clans.  You can safely say that the clan that dominates the central regions and the capital overwhelmingly supports this president. The opposite is true for the dominant clan in Puntland and the Jubba regions. And this president is not even attempting to change this perception.

Hindsight is 20/20, but was the selection of Hassan Manna from heaven or the spell and preview of the new curse coming to Somalia?

It is too early to fully answer this question at this moment but the trajectory is not good. People prefer strong a leader especially in time of enormous challenges rather than a weak one and Somalis are no different but does Somalia need a dictator, my way or the highway type of dictator? As demonstrated by his rigid and inflexible approach to politics, Hassan Sheikh may not be the leader Somalia needs in its current fetal state.

In a speech at the American Society of Association Executives’ (ASAE) leadership forum in Quebec City, author John Spence said “Intentionally or unwittingly, leaders model the culture of their organizations. Sending the wrong message can make that culture one of distrust-and have a real impact on your success”. Unfortunately, President Mohamoud’s culture of survival of the fittest may have already created distrust among the Somali people.

Hassan-Sheikh: The most Controversial man of Somalia political story

Hassan-Sheikh: The most Controversial  man of Somalia political story

The good people of Jubaland are now fully aware that the regime at Villa Somalia is using every possible tool to undermine the political progress of Jubaland State, and the reason is simple, the gangs of so called Villa Somalia are just the remnants of USC.

They are hiding behind the Ugandan force and outrageously pointing fat fingers to both Jubaland Administration and Kenyan Defense Force (KDF). Another surprise political development was that when Ulusow insulted and singled out the KDF at the AU-submit in Addis Abbab. This is his most recent arrogance and foolishness of diplomatic suicide which signals his political mystery downfall!

The groundless accusations from the regime against Jubaland State and KDF are nothing more than very old clan minded, ignorance and political incorrectness. Surely, history will tell that dictators likes Hassan-Ulusow will go down the very bad chapter of the Somali political story.

We the people of Jubaland are very confidence that the Jubaland State of Somalia will be a good example for the rest of the Somali provincial states, in terms of economic development, political evolution, social, and peace and security.

Mr. Ulusow your governing policy is just a bad, problematic and backward, but the people of Jubaland will NOT go back to the Dark Age. The people of Jubaland simply want peace and development but your government policy of abusing power and opposing Somali federal charter is just in favor for Al-shabaab atrocities and allowing Moryaan-Business of illegal-checkpoint (Spaaro), raping women and endangering young Somali generation which we all firmly rejected.

Mr. Ulusow said, he will not accept less than his reckless agenda and make it clear that he will bring the people of Jubaland under his foot by force and appoint an interim governor from his-clan by him! His agenda is very clear; holding the will of the people of Jubaland hostage by a bunch of USC- remnants in Villa-Somalia.

Unfortunately, he refused to realize that the fruit of his naïve action will only yield the renewal of the dark-memory in Somali history – the clan bloodshed that was started by his own clan on December 31st, 1990.

In response to Ulusow’s clan-war-drama, the people of Jubaland have came together and make it clear that if you do not accept Jubaland State as a Somali Provincial State, we will simply NOT recognizing you as well! If you deny our constitutional rights, the very next elected Somali president will surely honor Jubaland State and there are numbers of hopeful individuals who are already campaigning for it.

President Hassan Sheikh: A Tribal – Clan Fanatic

President Hassan Sheikh: A Tribal – Clan Fanatic

 Somali President Hassan Sheikh arrived Kenya with delegation consisting and comprised all Hawiye his tribe.  He met with President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta with his team consisting of a highly qualified diverse ministers and aides including Kenya’s first Somali ethnic Foreign Minister Amina.  This photo released by the President’s inexperienced press staff caused an outrage by many Somalis who are angry of the president’s delegation who are all from one clan.  This is evidence that is given to the Somali public by all Hawiye presidential delegation, most of whom were Abgaal and Shiiqaal clans.

 This photo comes just a day after President Uhuru met all Darod delegation team led by Regional President of Puntland.  Following the same footsteps Hassan Sheikh met Uhuru with all Hawiye team of President Hassan’s team as the Federal President of Somali Nation which belongs to many tribes and clans.  This is indicative the immaturity of Hassan Sheikh and his lack of leadership to represent whole Somalia.  THIS IS NOT ABSULATELY HOW A NATIONAL PRESIDENT LEADING A UNITARY NATIONAL GOVERNMENT BEHAVES OR SELECTS HIS DELEGATIONS.


 They expressed their desire to remain on the diving force and tribal fanatic.   This is an action that could result a deep divide and mistrust among the 4 major Somali clans including the Digil Mirifle who have lately been suspicious and skeptical on President Hassan’s one-sided Hawiye politics and marginalization of other Somali tribes.  Protesting vigorously at the exclusion of Digil Mirifle Ministers out of the high level conferences and delegations pertaining to Digil Mirifle regional administrations and constituencies, MPs of Digil Mirifle are angry of the repeated double standards, political exclusions of their ministers, and constant degrading of DM Ministers.

 Digil Mirifle MPs, Intellectuals, Women, Scholars and Elders call for political inclusion that allows interest articulation by all Somali groups.  It produces the feeling of being represented. It engages diverse actors, thereby making the system as democratic as possible.   They warn Hassan Sheikh to refrain from political exclusion, lack of representation and inclusion.  There is no room or space for clan fanatics in Somali politics.

 See the list of delegation accompanied by Hassan Sheikh who has now made clear to all Somalis his true color and motivations as the leader of Hawiye President not a national president.

Somali Govt spokesman Struggled to Answer Favoritism surround the president

Question:-
Eng. yarisow "As senior adviser and Spokesperson" for the president, what was your advice for his PM's refusal to address a congregation of 870 Somali delegates at Kismayo University, among whom were many clan leaders who legitimized the mandate you refer to; and was it your advice to seek from IGAD and Addis Abeba, the base for destabilisation of Somalia, on who does what in relation to the regions and the central government? Doesn't your assertion of " Somalia is for Somalis and the solution will come from Somalis" compromise by the above negative actions of the government you are its adviser? And lastly, if your really want " a resumption of a stable and representative government at all levels" why the dozen or so members of the presidents delegation to Japan were all from Hawiye?

 Answer:-
Abdirahman Omar Osman · Senior Advisor & Spokesperson to the Presidency at Office Of the President of Somalia
Our PM made efforts to go to Kismayo to talk to his people - We should all be happy with what our PM did during his tenure - Excellent political outreach, excellent Public finance management, excellent in service delivery and engaging with communities. He traveled most of the regions - Please think the bigger picture and outside of the box rather than dividing our people into boxes - 21 century we need Somalia to prosper and Somalia to compete with the world - And this can only happen if we unite and work together as one.

Question:-
Yarisow instead of writing rubbish article on jubbaland why dont you the world why did the current leader of USC xasan culusow on his journey to Japan took 9 members of his kitchen cabinet aka fellow USC.

Answer:-
Abdirahman Omar Osman · Senior Advisor & Spokesperson to the Presidency at Office Of the President of Somalia
I thought that we are now in 21 century and we Somalis need to think our unity, our country, our people. If we divide ourselves we will not be able to move on and rebuild our country. After all we are all Somalis. Let us be serious about our future of our children.

Question:-
Yarisoow, you're interpreting the way you like. Mr Mohamed Hussien is interpreting the way he likes it. IGAD produced a very vague communique for the Waring clans (DAAROOD & HAWIYE) to continue on their puerile argument about Jubbaland when both Ethiopia and Kenya are trying politically to ensure that no strong, united, prosperous and developed Somalia comes to existence. They think these two countries' stability depends on the fragmentation and weakness of this homogeneous, rich in natural resources, and strategically located country.

Answer:-
Abdirahman Omar Osman · Senior Advisor & Spokesperson to the Presidency at Office Of the President of Somalia
Let be honest and realistic - I posted all the documents that I referred to as a prove. Please let us be objective. We are all Somalis and let us unite for the sake of our country.

Why Jubbaland deadlock will define future Somalia

Why Jubbaland deadlock will define future Somalia
Daahir Sheikh
daahireeto1@hotmail.com

OPINION

The political tensions between Somali Federal Government and the recently formed Jubbaland State in the deep south of Somalia, is not only threatening the gains made by SNA/AMISOM forces against Al shabaab, but also is igniting clan rivalry both locally and nationally and can reverse back the leaning Somali political process. both sides, S.F. G. leadership and Jubbaland leaders arguably think they can win zero some game in this battle, which may not be the case as both can lose the battle and Al shabaab can win and recover Kismayu, its environs and else where. As Somali politicians are always uncompromising, it seems Somalia is no where near to recover its favored number 1. failed state status. the Western-forced post-transition system is not working well.

As this tragedy looms the International community is watching, unwilling to intervene. IGAD’s recent fact funding report was inconclusive and the S.F.G , which welcomed the report, seems unwilling to honor the recommendations of the IGAD fact funding mission, instead they are trying, by any means, to organize loyal forces in Kismayu,while the newly formed Jubbaland administration is denying them to have foothold in the Jubbas, again by any means. Because of their weakness the S.F.G is staunchly trying to instigate clashes between the local sub-clans specially Ogaden/Majertain and Marehan ( all are Daarood) , the Jubbaland new leaders are preempting such scenario, whether they will continue to succeed foiling such attempts or not is unknown. It should not be wise for a government to instigate instability in its own borders especially when such actions will give a chance to their staunch enemy, in this case Al shabaab.

The Jubbaland new administration, which S.F.G yet to recognize ,is not alone in the battle they have Puntland in their back at the national level, and Kenya and (Ethiopia to some extent) at regional level, this may give them room to maneuver. it seems Jubbaland leaders are not willing to abandon their long term planned project.

The West, who are the donors of both AMISOM forces and S.F.G. seem undecided to intervene and broker a compromise deal, seemingly giving S.F.G space and time to solve the impasse, which it has failed so far. Bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan and suffering from severe economic crisis, the West is no longer as powerful as before, and the farseeing, taller and indispensable nation of Pax Americana (As Madeleine Albright once argued) is leading from behind as far as the greater middle east is concerned- the Russians are more assertive in Syria- yet the West are the donors of the weak S.F,G and AMiSOM peace keeping forces and they can use their leverage if they are willing to do so.

root cause of the impasse

The Jubbaland political deadlock is between two camps, those who support federalism (decentralized Federal System) in Somalia and those who oppose it, the groups ( namely Puntland/Jubbaland and S.F.G./Mogadishu elite respectively) are mobilizing their resources to win the battle. unfortunately the tensions are reigniting clan rivalry in Somalia especially between Daarood and Hawiye, the two major clans in Somalia. It seems after 22 years of state failure and devastating civil war, the Somalis did not learn lessons.

The federalization of Somalia is enshrined in the Somali provincial constitution, but each side have their own interpretation,and they have right to do so since those who wrote the constitution were unable or unwilling to clarify the matter the S.F.G leadership are not fans of federal system in Somalia and some of them oppose it staunchly specially Damu-jadiid members, -the inner circle of President Hassan Sheikh-, however they do not reject it outrightly since the provincial constitution clearly defines that Somalia must adopt federal system. Some of S.F.G supporters have already voiced that Somali people should vote whether they prefer Federalism or not. on the other hand Puntland/Jubaland/Bayland ( Bay, Bakool and possibly Lower Shabeele) and to some extent Galmudug and Hiraan, see Somalia must adopt decentralized federal system especially Puntland which is arguably independent from S.F.G.((Somaliland is another case).

Jubbaland is the battle ground for this fierce confrontation. S.F.G is determined to block Jubbaland project and is trying to dominate South and Central Somalia and contain Puntland and eventually derail federalization project. S.F.G is using local proxies to implement its strategy,interestingly some source claim it has already began its containment policy against Puntland by resonating Puntland opposition groups possibly giving them financial support , (ironically, some of Puntland opposition groups are anti- democracy and oppose democratization process in Puntland) normally political oppositions advocate for democracy , this is not the case in Puntland, (it is the nightmare of Somali Politics). Puntland information minister has accused former Puntland president Adde Muse of being anti -Jubbaland process and instigating insecurity in Puntland itself, an accusation ,if true, is very dangerous as far as Puntland Politics is concerned.

On the other side, Puntland, seemingly knowing the S.F.G’s strategy is strongly supporting Jubbaland process which if successful S.F.G can no longer derail decentralized federal system, they do not want to be victim of what Somalis call three bulls strategy, (in which a lion killed three bulls one by one using divide and kill tactics) in addition Puntland hosts thousands of Jubbalanders who fled the region during the civil war and would like to see them back to their homes there. however Puntland’s role in Jubaland can be controversial and some may see it as clan based politics, keeping in mind that majority of Jubbaland inhabitants and Puntlanders themselves are the same clan of Daarood. but some Somalia Political analysts ( including the distinguished Somalia political analyst Dr.Macheal Weinstein) see Punland’s position as protection of its strategic interests of decentralized federal system in Somalia, an assertion I fully agree.

president Hassan’s no return strategy

According to close sources President Hassan Sheikh has taken a decision not to back down and he is strongly determined to derail Jubbaland initiative by using any means to achieve this goal, even if it is necessary to instigate instability in the region.other source joke he is as staunch as Syria’s Bashar Al Assad and the late Libya’s Gaddafi. but Al Assad has second strongest Arab Army at his disposal and faithful allies like Russia, Iran and Hesbollah of Lebanon, while Qaddafi had ruled oil rich country and was Africa’s strongman ( King of Kings of Africa) and only had given up his clandestine nuclear program few years back. Gaddafi only lost the war in Libya when NATO intervened against him.on the contrary president Hassan rules the number one failed state of the of world ( a divided and fragmented country) and he actually controls Mogadishu and its environs mainly through Amisom forces.

On the other hand Mr Hassan is using his diplomatic recognition to put pressure on Jubbaland and some times diplomatically clashes with Kenya and Ethiopia on the issue. his recent speech in Mogadishu airport (coming back from Addis ababa AU summit) underscores his determination. in a direct referral to Jubbaland leaders and supporters he said, “the time when the Somalis used to seek support abroad is over, Somalia is for the Somalis and they themselves can only solve their differences” explicitly accusing his opponents being puppet of foreign countries, and ironically forgetting that he himself is guarded by foreign troops in his hometown of Mogadishu.Some source confirm that president Hassan requested some western countries to urge Ethiopia not to withdraw its troops from-Somalia when it partially did so two months ago, so the rhetoric of foreign intervention is meaningless and it will be there as long as the Somali leaders are unable to come forward policies and strategies that can put their people together and get the nation stand its feet again and defend its interests.

Some of the opponents of the president leveled him as clan-minded leader who do not have national strategy to save the nation from disappearance. but his supporters can argue that all Somali leaders are the same and the likes of Farole, Siilaanyo and Ahmed Madobe are all clan-minded, however the state level leaders are different from the national leader and they can understandably persuade the interests of their particular states while the national leader should be on the top of that and shows himself as one who represents all of the nation.

The weak S.F.G has its own problems; firstly; it has not enough resources to control Jubbaland what so ever. secondly; its local allies are unable to challenge Ahmed Madobe, the strongman of Jubbaland. it is safe to say to any arrangement relating Jubbaland without Ahmed Madobe is elusive for the time being.

Inside the S.F.G itself, it seems that President Hassan has the upper hand and no one can challenge his plans,. Critics say the Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon, is very weak man and has no say in the strategic planning of his own government although the constitution gives him sweeping powers to dictate the policy planning of the country, while the parliament seem to be paralyzed by clan rivalry and incompetency. President Hassan seems to rely on some of his advisers including his Damu-jadiid colleagues and allegedly some of his clan members, who are more experienced than him in politics, -some of them former ministers-. some source suggest that it is those advisers who lied down his strategy of confrontation with Jubbaland.

Hassan made a clever move when he waited president of Puntland in Joma Kenyata airport in Nairaobi, for nearly 40 minutes (Hassan was in his way to Japan and Farole flow from Garowe to Nairobi), Hassan warmly welcomed Farole but the two men did not have official meeting. it seems Mr. Hassan cleverly tried to preempt Mr.Forale”s intention because Puntland president went to Nairobi to consult with the international partners mainly on Jubbaland issue and some alleged fraud of provincial constitution. however Farole seems unfazed and conducted high level diplomatic meetings in Nairobi.

The distinguished Somali political cartoonist Amin Amir, has recently published a cartoon which shows president Hassan Sheikh sitting side by side with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, at Somalia conference in Japan, the cartoon suggests president Hassan requesting Shinzo Abe ” let us discuss Jubbaland issue” the Japanese prime minister, (surprised) replies ”where Jubbaland locates, is it in China or Singapore?” the cartoon reflects how Hassan is obsessed in Jubbaland impasse. it was one of the most laughable cartoons I have seen in recent times.

Jubbaland/Puntland counter strategy

The Jubbaland leaders seemingly adopted defensive strategy, by preempting any attempt to instigate armed clashes in Kismayu ( the big prize of Jubbaland) they successfully managed minor clashes that took place in 23/02/2013, the presumed date that Jubblaand conference would kick start. the then Kismayu interim administration accused S.F.G of being behind the violence, S.F.G denied the accusation, also the Jubbaland leaders mainly overcame some problems of Gedo delegates, although PM Shirdon installed an S.F.G loyal as Gedo governor, an apparent preemptive move. Jubbaland rejected the move and have their own Gedo governor in Kismayu, however they lost sight when Barre Hiraale (former Kismayu warlord) entered Kismayu reportedly by sea from Mogadishu, hidden in the dark of night, this was their first blunder, yet they managed to contain him. after S.F,G tried its last ditch effort to stop the conference through diplomatic pressure, Omar Abdirashid, the former TFG Prime minister,a big supported of Jubbaland warned the Jubbaland presidential competitors that if they do not compromise the conference may fail. it seems his appeal was heard, and Ahmed Madobe emerged the winner just days before the IGAD fact funding mission arrived.S.F.G’s failure to stop the conference and the election of Ahmed Madobe was major setback to them. but Jubbaland leaders were reluctant to stop an S.F.G delegate led by deputy interior minster, this delegate will eventually give Jubbaland sponsors a bunch in the face ( theirs worst setback so far). the S.F.G.delegate entered Kismayu ad waited IGAD fact funding mission, when they came the S.F.G delegate sponsored meeting between Barre Hiraale ( who claimed he is Jubbaland president the same day that Mr. Madobe was elected) among other presidential claimants and some other disaffected locals who appose the Jubbaland process. these people told the IGAD mission that they Utterly appose the election of Mr. Madobe and that they support the S.F.G plans for the region, this was painful blow to the Jubbaland process because it affected IGAD fact finding mission’s report. had the Jubbaland leaders denied the S.F.G delegate to enter Kismayu, the IGAD mission report could be on their favor, IGAD mission should not necessarily meet Barre Hiraale and his supporters and they could not be blamed why they did not meet a former warlord either.the S.F.G delegate in Kismayu did not only manage this plot well, but also continue to do more by trying to get loyal forces in the city,reportedly using money and sub-clan rivalry in the contested city, however Jubbaland leaders who had been, some home shocked by the IGAD fact funding mission’s report, lately understood the plot they dealt with, and tried to minimize the damage by preempting the actions of the S.F.G. delegate and even reportedly ordered them to leave the city, nevertheless the S.F.G. did not succeed to get loyal forces in Kismayu so far.

Puntland is actively supporting Jubbaland and welcomed the election of the new Jubbaland leadership with jubilancy, even President Abdiraxman Farole, the day Ahmed Madobe was elected , said ” those who were opposed Jubbaland process should sleep with sorrow to night” underlining the high stakes involved.some source say Puntland financially supported Jubbaland initiative (which in general costed $3.9 billion according The Strandard of Kenya).Jubilant demonstrators took the the streets of Garowe (the capital of Puntland) celebrating the election of Ahmed Madobe.

Although Jubbaland have the support of Puntland ,Kenya and and Ethiopia (The Ethiopian Somali Region at the worst case), they still have problems to overcome. firstly: they are dealing with post-transition ,some home, recognized government which is very assertive , of course they need to fill that gab , secondly; they are not recognized by S.F.G or the International community yet, but are de facto administration which holds its ground, thirdly,Jubbaland’s newly elected leadership are not high level experienced politicians; Ahmed Madobe held his top public post in 2006 as governor of lower Jubba/Kismayu under Islamic Courts Union, while his deputy Gen. Fartag was militia commander under Barre Hiraale, even their inner circle are less experienced like Sheikh Mohamed Aw Libah , Mahomed Moalim, Abadinasir Seerar and Yasin Raadaar most of them (Ahmed Madobe, Aw libah, Moalim and Seerar) are pragmatic clerics who may be honest people due to their religious duties. unfortunately politics are dirty game and sometimes you should lie, plot and make deception. the Iranian Clerics who rule the Islamic Republic of Iran are very clever in these tactics, even their Leader Ali khamanie issued religious decree prohibiting the acquisition of nuclear weapons, supposedly to fool the West who accuse Iran of persuading nuclear bomb. but the Iranians are Shia/Islam in which you can lie for a reason (Taqiya) while Somalis are Sunni/islam, in whch lie is grave sin, nevertheless Jubbaland leaders are in the game and should know how to play it. but Jubbaland is not short of highly experienced politicians, they have, Omar Abdirashid,former TFG Prime Minister, Mohmed Abdi Gandi , former defence minister, Gen.Mohamed Warsame Darwish, former chief of Somali spy agency and Gen, Ali Madobe former chief of the police among others, what is not known is how much say these top politicians have in the decision making of Jubbaland process, and whether the newly elected leaders are aware of the importance of these top politicians given the high stakes involved.

recent developments

1. S.F.G sent three minister delegate to Kismayu headed by Minister of defence ,but they were denied to enter the city by the Jubbaland administration, they spent three nights at Kismayu airport where Kenyan troops control. they joined S.G.F’s SNA chief of staff and commander in chief who spent nearly one week in the airport after Jubbaland leaders barred them to e enter the city, however, the delegate was allowed to enter the city on 29, May 2013. a Jubaland official told Somalli channel TV that the delegate was allowed to enter the city after Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta contacted Jubbaland president Ahmed Madobe and requested him to do so, because President Hassan Sheikh contacted him and asked for help, if this is true it underlines the importance of Mr. Ahmed Madobe and his good relationship with the Kenyan President. However some of the S.F.G delegates returned to Mogadishu apparently with empty hands.

2. S.F.G minister of interior forwarded a bill to the federal parliament, the proposed law is the one which will define how to federate the country, some observers say the bill proposes very centralized federal system. Puntland and Jubbaland may argue they should have say in such presumed law since it will directly affect them.

3. Puntland president Abdirahman Farole visits Nairobi, as he arrived Joma Kenyatta airport he met with Somali president Hassan Sheikh who was on way his to Japan, the two men did not have official meeting, local media reported that Mr. Farole met some foreign ambassadors including US ambassador to Somalia James Swan, they added that Farole discussed with these ambassadors rang of pressing issues in Somalia including the provincial constitution and Jubbaland impasse.

4. Local media and Kenya’s The Standard reported that some Somali MPs filled motion against the presence of Kenyan forces in Somalia, a desperate move by the F.S.G which also underlines lack of political maturity since the Kenyan forces helped the partial defeat of Al shabaab.

5. Kenya’sThe Standard reported last week that an IGAD official said that they are not against the election of Ahmed Madobe as Jubbaland president ,seemingly dismissing S.F.G claims that IGAD report was on their favor.

6. Puntland president Abdirahaman Faroole met with Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta on 03/06/2013. it is said the two leaders discussed rang of issues including Jubbaland deadlock, it is also reported that Kenyatta reassured Farole that Kenya is committed to federalization and stability of Somalia.

7. On 04/06/2013, the newly elected president of Jubbaland Ahmed Madobe arrived in Nairobi , some reports suggest he will meet S.F.G president Hassan Sheikh in Kenya in addition to Kenyan and IGAD officials.

conclusion

The outcome of this political stalemate will determine whether Somalia will adopt decentralized federal system or decentralized unitary system (nominal highly centralized federal system like that of Ethiopia ,at the best case). it will also decide whether Somalia will recover from the 22 year old anarchy or it will miss the would- be its last chance to survive as a state . If the Somali leaders fail to solve this impasse it would lead one of two results: 1; clan based civil war which could give Al shabaab new dawn since they will play warring clans and sub-clans off each other and the clans or sub-clans who feel their existence is threatened will join Al shabaab for protection. 2; the country will be further fragmented to challenging States ( Punrland.Somaliland, Jubbaland, Central States, Bayland and Mogadishu and its environs), some may follow suit Somaliland and declare their independence, the regional powers (Ethiopia and Kenya) may encourage such scenario as it is arguably their strategic interests), again, this scenario will also give Al shabaab a chance to recover. a tragedy like that of the 2011-22012 famine , which claimed 260.000 lives may happen either by other drought or by war, and the international could not help because of insecurity. the Somalis are digging their grave with their hands, it is suicide, no one can help somebody who wants to take himself out.

But there is still hope, where the sides can make concessions to each other and compromise to reach a compromise deal, in which Jubbaland would accept to give S.F.G some political influence in the region and an agreed-up-on share of Kismayu port revenue in return S.F.G recognizes Jubbaland especially the election of Ahmed Madobe and abandons its strategy of social engineering allowing these three regions (Gedo, Lower Jubba and Middle Jubba) to have their own State in line of provincial constitution.

Small section of South-Central clans is adamantly opposed to the federal system Somalia

Memorandum on Major Issues That Threaten Political Stability in Somalia
 | on June 4, 2013




by: Somali Elders in Canada.

We, elders of Maakhir, Puntland, Khatumo and Jubaland state communities in Canada are of the view that the major contentious issues that threaten the fragile stability of the Federal Government of Somalia are, briefly, as follows:

A. There is no doubt that the small section of South-Central clans is adamantly opposed to the federal system, which the country had adopted, and to which they themselves had agreed.  They have actually expressed their opposition to it so many times, in so many words, and the President, himself from Central, had said in some of his earlier pronouncements that there was need to shelve away the federal arrangement (and ipso facto the Constitution) for two years in order to study how it should best be implemented.  Thus he made a thinly veiled attempt to give some breathing space to his own anti-federalist camp in order to weaken support for federalism.  

b. In consequence, he was accused of breaking his oath of office to uphold the Constitution. Having, subsequently, retracted from his anti-federalist stance he has since been trying to turn Somali federalism into a ‘centralised federation’ (a contradiction in terms) by arrogating to himself the power to form the states of the federation, and appointing interim administrations for them for at least six months.  The Constitution does not give him this power.  On the contrary, it stipulates that two or more of the current regions can combine to form on their own volition to form a State. Such ultra vires exercise of powers is at the core of the current and increasing tension between the newly formed Jubaland State and the central government – and him personally.

c. Owing to the clan rhetoric and overtones of this dispute and the hardened positions of the two sides, the President is seen as someone who is promoting the agenda of his own clan to the detriment of the others.  The Government and the President are therefore suffering from a serious credibility deficit exacerbated by the fact that there is no national army, which they can call upon to quell a regional rebellion.  The situation has so aggravated that there are, as we write, three cabinet ministers (led by the defence minister) who were detained on arrival and held incommunicado at the airport for days.  They were dispatched to Kismayo, presumably to assess the situation but actually to foment trouble by promoting fission and discord.

IGAD’s attempt to resolve the situation has been ill-fated because it could not pinpoint where crux of the problem lay and was thus indecisive. Without addressing itself to the Constitution it simply recommended further talks to take place in Mogadishu.  However, Jubaland State is averse to Mogadishu and has agreed to the talks only on the condition of holding them in a neutral venue. Comments on the IGAD Communiqué are enclosed.

D. The Federal government’s non-adherence to the Constitution signed by the stakeholders and approved by the National Constituent Assembly in August 2012 is as clear as broad daylight. There are even claims that certain articles and paragraphs have been deleted and replaced.  The veracity of this claim has been confirmed by the former Minister of Constitutional Affairs, which has angered some stakeholders, most notably Puntland.   The President is known to give no heed to the Constitution and the Parliament closes its eyes to this sad fact, for fear of endangering the stability of the government, and it thereby condones a lack of constitutionalism, which may become, through such parliamentary dereliction, a well-established tradition.

E. Another clear instance of the President’s departure     from the Constitution is the fact that he is acting as an executive president whereas the Constitution provides for a ceremonial one and a cabinet government led by a prime minister.  He has in effect added the usurpation of the prime minister’s powers to his own prerogatives as president.  Yet, it is the Prime Minister, not the President, who answers to Parliament.  This anomaly has also been, and continues to be, yet another source of tension because it makes none sense of the power- sharing the clans had agreed upon.

F. President Hassan is clearly a divisive person, not a uniter.  He also seems blind to his own precarious situation, for much of the country is out of his control. He has alienated Puntland; he is on a war footing with Jubaland; “Somaliland” in the far North of the country is yet to accept the reality of its being part of the Federal Republic of Somalia; and Al-Shabaab controls a large parcels of territory. On the other hand, there are scarcely any means available to him in order to bring the nation together:  there is neither a national army, nor financial resources at his disposal.  His authority must therefore stem solely from his powers of persuasion and a moral authority emanating from the trust of the public.

The President can turn his trust deficit around and save the country from its continuing turmoil at a time when there is so much goodwill for Somalia, so many promises of financial aid, and so many prospects of investments, foreign and domestic, in its natural resources.

G. The President can secure public trust immediately if he declares a policy whereby Mogadishu would, as befits a national capital, regain its cosmopolitan character by welcoming back its previous inhabitants irrespective of their clan affiliations.  Such policy, if it is to be convincing, should implemented in a manner that would return of spoliated property comprising residential homes, hotels and other commercial buildings, farms and plantations, and so on.

At present, the national capital is controlled, lock, stock and barrel by the President’s own clan, and he has been reticent about the multifarious problems of citizens returning to their homes and other properties in Mogadishu. Many properties have been expropriated and many have changed hands through illegal sale.  This is not a mere squatter problem.  On the contrary, it is a serious problem that, if not solved, will have far-reaching political consequences as it will inflict a mortal blow to inter-clan reconciliation and thereby endanger the security and stability of the country. The President has been vociferous in his claim that the new Jubaland State is led by one clan while he is reticent about the fact all the sixteen districts in Mogadishu (the national capital) are administered and controlled by one clan – his own clan.  Such plain duplicity has inevitably seriously injured his reputation and portrayed him as a clan leader who has adopted duplicity as a tool of policy.

h. Meanwhile, secessionist “Somaliland” finds comfort in the woes of the country, for she believes that continued chaos in the South affords her the best possible opportunity to further her spurious claim of sovereignty.  Its leaders have been attacking President Hassan through their media simply for saying that the purpose of the Federal Government’s talks with them was to re-establish the unity of the nation.  The secessionists know full well that they have reached the end of the road.  They acknowledge so privately, and are looking for a face-saving solution, which will extricate them from a difficult and embarrassing situation.  But, President Hassan and the Government have to find such a solution without alienating the northern pro-unity (anti-secessionist) clans who had deployed efforts, far and wide, to thwart the efforts of the breakaway Administration in Hargeisa.

The President, while facing monumental problems, has ill-advisedly spent enormous time on the issue of Jubaland State, which is an artificial but serious problem of his own creation.
