How Governor of Bay Region was appointed: a bottom-up approach?

Following the inauguration of Somalia’s Federal Permanent Government (SFG) in August 2012, the formation and acceleration of Regional States that was envisioned in the adopted Somali Provisional Constitution has been in process. The leaders of the SFG in an unforeseen manner have paid rounding tour in most of those regions; assessing the social situation and seeking consultation from the stakeholders of the towns they have landed in. Regions like Hiiraan, Gedo, and Bay have had their administrations upgraded by replacing old leaders with new ones. The armed dominant group in the central regions, Ahlusuna Waljama’ was convinced to rally behind the Federal Government and the Puntaland’s phobia of Centralism has at least been cooled down to the low level; if it is not terminated at all. Conversely, it is the Kismayo scenario that gives gloomy picture and its process seems unpredictable and dangerous. The stakeholders of Kismayo are yet to agree the way forward; though the delegation fro...

Kismaayo puzzle: An old wine in a new bottle

The high concentration of creating an autonomous administration in the southernmost regions of Somalia by solely Kenya and its interlocutors had cultivated a new looming future across the country which otherwise those populations could have been expected a relatively calm situation once the ferocity of Alshabaab is dismantled. However, contrary to that aspiration; it came obvious that the liberators of Kismaayo had no faith in consultation with the popularly elected national leaders of Somalia that also dying for the ultimate and sincerely support from both Kenya and those with its Somali cronies lobbying with the creation of a regime exclusively envisioned outside Somalia. This newly created political suspicion is firmly rooted on two existing political cultures in Somalia - Clan Supremacy and Land Expropriation !   Right from the Italian colonization to the Post-Independent regimes as well as in the anarchy period, these two perspectives have been utilizing by the dominant...

The London Somalia Conference: Expectations and Realities

  The London plan which was concluded on 23 rd February had met with great expectations: it created euphoria for its participants, despair for its opponents and skepticism for the Somali masses. Prime Minister of Somalia Abdiwali Mohamed Ali optimistically termed the Conference as highly successful and its outcome beyond his expectation. However, for Somalians the event did not pave the way for the resolution of their problems.  For me as a Somali, this was the 15 th luxurious assembly for the cause of Somalia, a poor country where lawlessness is rampant, and ended in vain. People wonder how calculations made miles away from the place of havoc could match the hard realities we Somalians are faced with. This view is fully supported by a report, made by the Guardian journalist  Jamal Osman , which revealed the wide difference of opinion existing between the people of Somalia and the policymakers with a certain mindset. For example, they failed to figure out why...

Most African politicians have the same habit to recruit children as combatants. What they care is just how to get the power instead how to save the Human life. On the other hand, great powers have also the same attitude when it comes for self-interest. They do care about their national interest by ignoring about the Human life. So the question is what is the difference between the two sides as each side is committed to succeed on personal ambition? Nothing really at all! In this short video, you would really notice how the world got changed from the moral duties to greedy world composing of competing wolfs. "Didiinglay dhamaateih"
