by Hassan Farah                Wednesday, July 2, 2014 This article argues that the agreement of South West State of Somalia is illegal, immoral and unconstitutional. During the process leading to the agreement on 23 June, the President of Somalia deliberately misled SW6, Shabelle State and Hawiye politicians, as he couldn’t defend his decisions in front of them. Hon Sharif Hassan and Minister Farah Abdulkadir were the mastermind of the agreement and that is why the President was too afraid to sell the agreement to SW6 and Hawiye politicians. Other key players in the agreement were Ethiopia, IGAD, UNSOM and EU as they have been for the last two years promoting the interest of Ogaden & Majeerteen clans in the pretext of Federalism, and that is why Ambassador Affey was too quick to make direct threats to SW6, Shabelle State & Hawiye Politicians, as he said that they are similar to Al-Shabaab during the...

The core of International Law is respect for the rights of diplomats. The standard behaviors of States in this area were well spelled out in details, applied universally and taken seriously. Since, the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and the Vienna Convention on Consular relations in 1961 and 1963 respectively, it has been considered unjustifiable to harm an emissary sent from another state. The status of embassies and of an ambassador as an official state representative is explicitly defined in the process of diplomatic  recognition . Once they are accredited, the individual enjoys immunities and privileges as a foreign diplomat in the host country.   An attack on diplomats or embassies is legitimately considered as an attack on the territory of the state itself. For this reason explains why Iraq couldn't confiscate the premises of US embassy in Kuwait in 1991 after Saddam Hussein claimed that Kuwait as a state no longer exists, though Iraq's force...

"Didiinglay dhamaateih"

Following the urgent call to respond Baidoa tensions made by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Somalia Ambassador Nicholas Kay on 24 March 2014 at the 425 th meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council in Adis ababa, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud paid an unannounced and hastily visit to the town of Baidoa on 30 th March to offer vacuum sympathy to the local leaders who for one year long engaged in building Southwestern  Regional State composing of Bay, Gedo, Bakol, Lower Shabele, Lower Jubba and Middle Jubba. Even though,  initially his visit was intended to be a half-day tour, it was suddenly extended to last for  two whole days because of the fierce resistance by the traditional elders to meet with the President. The traditional elders who are from the six regions of the State had the perception that the president is against the free choice of Southwestern Citizens for forming the six-region state, and therefore has come to recognize the ...

Abdirahman A. Warsame makes some very good points of Somalia's contentious system of government in his most recent article posted on Hiiraan Online [i] ,.   He accurately underlined that Federalism - as type of Government won't take root unchallenged for a country like Somalia that has been chaotic for decades. He further underscored that Somalis' Provisional constitution must be a source of conflict in terms of its interpretation; which of course seems quite rational because of Somalis' nature of interpretation.   Take as an example of Somali Parliament of today, because of Interpretation of Rules of Procedure (Xeer Hoosaadka) of Somalis' House of the   Federal Republic of the   Parliament, Mps daily fight over an issue that can sometimes be easily reconciled to. However, it is in the other things claimed that his analysis falls short. To me, the concept why some clans like Digil and Mirifle do prefer Federalism is quite rooted in prevailing socio-economic ...
