Deadline:
The
Showdown
Between
the Good
and the
Evil in
Somaliland
On the
onset,
let me
clearly
state
here
that my
primary
teacher,
used to
angrily
warn us
whenever
we make
trouble
that,
“Don’t
trouble
trouble
before
trouble
troubles
you” and
then, he
would
use that
phrase
as an
excuse
to
punish
us since
we made
trouble
before
there
was any
trouble
in the
class.
Similarly,
I hereby
warn the
unqualified
and
arrogant
president
Riyaale,
his
inept
and
corrupt
administration,
the
blind
UDUB
party,
and his
unpatriotic
and
Mafioso
henchmen
that
there is
no
trouble
or
breach
of peace
or
breakage
of law
and
order or
political
turmoil
and
chaos or
civil
war or
general
insecurity
and
instability
whatsoever
in
Somaliland,
other
than,
the ones
he had
been
unabatedly
fomenting
in the
country
since he
came to
power in
2003 by
way of
massive
vote
rigging.
Therefore,
he must
desist
and
refrain
immediately
from his
unscrupulous
dictatorial
practices,
sabotage
of
democracy,
multi-party
and free
economy
systems,
general
misrule
or inept
or
unjust
or
unwise
rule,
retardation
of
political,
economical
and
social
progress;
tarnishing
the
international
image
and
standing
of the
country
thereby
undermining
the
efforts
towards
the
achievement
of
international
recognition
of
Somaliland,
colossal
mismanagement
of all
segments
of the
public
and
state
affairs,
endemic
corruption,
misappropriation
and
embezzlement
of
public
funds,
injustice,
gross
violation
of human
rights,
poisonous
tribalism,
hateful
divisive
policies,
sheer
envy,
and
barbarous
animosity
that he
has all
along
been
busy
brewing
in
Somaliland
in a
manner
to
callously
undermine
the just
cause
and
existence
of
somaliland.
And for
heavens
sake, do
not
trouble
trouble
before
trouble
troubles
you,
otherwise,
it will
be to
your
detriment
and that
of your
lackeys
and kin
and
kith.
Mark
you, we
are not
bluffing.
And we
truly
mean it.
To
return
to the
topic,
the
current
dangerous
stand
off in
Somaliland
is
between
the
good—those
nationalistic
Somalilanders
who
stood up
to evil
and
sacrificed
their
time,
wealth,
properties,
sons,
and
daughters
and
bravely
shed
their
precious
sweat,
tears,
and
blood to
liberate
our
people
and the
country
in a
bitter
and long
armed
struggle
and the
evil—those
unpatriotic
Somalilanders
who
previously
served
the
enemy
loyally
and
fought
alongside
the
tyrannical
military
regime
of
Savage
Siyad
Bare and
his
various
heavily
armed
tribal
militias
like
president
Riyaale
and some
of his
key
Cabinet
Ministers
such as
the
Minister
of
Interior,
Minister
of
Finance,
Minister
of
Transport
and
Aviation,
Minister
of
Housing
and
Public
Works,
and all
the
other
NSS
Gestapo,
Dhabar
Jebinta
Isaaq,
Hangash,
and
Faqash
who have
currently
infested
his
administration
who
during
the
period,
1980-1990
waged a
scorch
earth
policy
and a
take no
prisoner
fascistic
and
genocidal
war
against
our
people
specifically
the
Isaaq
Clan in
an
attempt
to wipe
them
from the
phase of
the
planet
and who
barbarously
annihilated
hundreds
of
thousands
of our
people
piled
them,
while
still
tied
together
in
secretive
mass
graves
particularly
the
innocent
women,
children,
and the
frail
elderly
and who
also
wounded
tens of
thousands
of
others
and who
internally
displaced
hundreds
of
thousands
of our
citizenry
and
forced
them an
exodus
of more
than a
million
others
into
exile in
Ethiopia
and who
entirely
looted
our
centuries
old and
hard
worn
properties
and who
finally,
bombarded
our
major
cities
to
rubble.
On the
other
hand, we
are
aware
off and
well
versed
with the
kind of
poisonous
tribalism,
hatemongering,
divisiveness,
provocations,
and the
long
standing
onslaught
on the
unity
and
harmonious
coexistence
of the
citizenry,
and the
conspiracies,
sabotages,
and
indifferent
policies
and
actions
of this
rogue
president
to
undermine
the
Isaaq
Clan,
which is
the
dominant
ethnic
group in
the
country
as well
as his
unending
evil
practices
and
activities
to
undermine
our hard
won
independence,
democracy,
freedoms
and
liberties,
peace
and
security,
stability
and
territorial
integrity,
and in
general
the just
cause
and the
existence
of
Somaliland.
Example
# 1:
UDUB
Party:
We know
that
UDUB
party is
seriously
fragmented,
disunited,
and can
no
longer
be
considered
as a
viable
party
worthy
of a
national
political
party
that it
once
used to
be
during
the
reign of
it’s
late
founder,
Hon. M.I.
Egal,
the
previous
president
of
Somaliland.
Sadly,
this
party
has been
hijacked
and
broken
up into
four
segments,
which
are
commonly
known as
the Egal
UDUB
(the
original
party),
the
Riyaale
UDUB
(the new
and
derailed
one-man
show
party),
the
Gaboose
UDUB
(the now
alienated
old
SAHAN
party
affiliates),
and the
Suleyman
Gaal
UDUB
(the now
alienated
old ASAD
party
affiliates)!
We
know
that
UDUB
party
has been
generally
undermined
and
derailed
from its
original
cause,
vision,
purpose,
and its
original
patriotic
members
have
long
been
purged.
And that
it’s
ranks
have now
been
filled
with
secretive
and
unpatriotic
members
particularly
at the
levels
of the
Middle
and
Central
Committees
of the
party.
And it
is
widely
believed
that
those
who now
fill
these
committees
are
mainly
members
who hail
from the
Gudabiirsi,
Harti,
and Issa
as well
as some
of Isaaq
lackeys
since
most of
the
nationalistic
and
patriotic
members
have
abandoned
the
party
and
either
joined
KULMIYE
party or
UCID
party—that
is why
the
president
who is
also the
Chairman
of the
current
UDUB
party is
deliberately
and
illegally
stalling
or
blocking
the
party to
convene
its
legitimate
party
convention
as
required
by law
for more
than two
years to
the
present
i.e. he
is
afraid
that if
he does
so there
will be
a huge
scandal
in
relation
to the
secretive
tribal
members
whom no
one
knows
when and
how and
under
what
criteria
they
happen
to be
members
of this
national
party.
We
know
that
since
the
original
UDUB
party
and its
other
affiliates
have
been
great
undermined
or have
no say
or have
even
been
long
wiped
out and
that the
new and
derailed
one-man
show
UDUB
party of
president
Riyaale
and his
henchmen
or
secretive
members
at both
levels
of the
party’s
committees
have
paved
the way
for them
to
completely
hijack
UDUB
party
and to
turn it
into the
old USP
party—a
tribal
party of
the
Gudabiirsi,
Dhulbahante,
and Issa
Clans
alliances
of the
late 50s
and 60s
who were
mainly
responsible
for
their
adamant
position
and
campaign
for the
ill-conceived
Somaliland-Somalia
Unity
resulting
to the
loss of
our
previous
independence
and
sovereignty
in 1960.
Is it de
ja vu
all over
again?
Example
# 2: The
Conspiracy
Behind
the
Visit of
UN Envoy
for
Somalia
&
Somaliland:
According
to the
recent
visit to
Somaliland
by Mr.
Ahmed
Ould
Abdalla,
the
Special
Representative
of the
UN
Secretary
General
for
Somalia,
it is
widely
believed
that the
conspiracy
to
undermine
the
democratic
process
and the
upcoming
presidential
and
local
government
elections
was
formulated
at the
Presidential
Palace
at
Hargeisa
following
the
secretive
meeting
between
the
president
and the
Special
UN
Envoy.
The evil
plan
agreed
upon by
these
two
conspirators
was a)
Mr.
Ahmed
Ould
Abdalla
to
depict
the
overall
peace,
security,
stability,
and
progress
of
Somaliland
in bad
faith
and to
include
it in
his
report
to the
UN
Secretary
General
and
then, b)
The UN
Secretary
General
will, in
turn,
include
the
unethical,
false,
unsubstantiated,
and
unfounded
allegation
in his
report
to the
UN
Security
Council,
which he
did so
by
shamefully
stating
that the
Somaliland’s
peace,
security
and
stability
is
fragile
and no
different
from
that of
Somalia,
and
then, c)
For
president
Riyaale
and his
corrupt
administration
to fend
off any
attempt
from
other
Somaliland
politician
and
leaders
to
condemn
the
biased
and
ridiculous
attempt
by Mr.
Ahmed
Ould
Abdalla
to
tarnish
the
international
image
and
standing
of
Somaliland
by
comparing
it with
the
anarchic
and
failed
Somalia
that
only
exists
on
paper—Remember,
how
adamantly
and
vigorously
Haji
Abdi
Waraabe
opposed
and
killed
the
motion
brought
before
the
Guurti
House by
the 13
nationalistic
and
patriotic
members
to
condemn
Mr.
Ahmed
Ould
Abdalla,
the UN
Special
Representative
for
Somalia
for
depicting
the
solid
peace,
security
and
stability
of State
of
Somaliland
as being
fragile
and as
insecure
and
instable
as
Somalia
d) For
president
Riyaale
to begin
fomenting
breaching
the
overall
peace,
security,
and
stability
of the
country
in order
to
covertly
support
the
reports
submitted
by both
the UN
Special
Representative
for
Somalia
and the
UN
Secretary
General
and
then, e)
For
president
Riyaale’s
henchmen
or NSS
Gestapo
to begin
a series
of bomb
blasts
in
Hargeisa
city and
elsewhere
in the
country
starting,
with the
house of
Mr. Buni,
the
so-called
Minister
for
Parliamentary
Affairs
in which
a hand
grenade
was
harmlessly
lobbed
at the
backyard
wall of
his
house,
whereby
the
rogue
UDUB
cohorts
quickly
deemed
it as a
“breaking
news”
and
broadcasted
it on
the
national
and
foreign
media,
which
were
also
published
by most
of
Somaliland
websites
and,
which
after a
few days
were
followed
by some
other
hand
grenade
blast in
some
other
place in
the
city,
and
finally,
detonated
a small
bomb
planted
in one
of the
offices
of the
Guurti
House
(House
of
Elders/Senate)
that was
considered
as “the
straw
that
broke
the
camel’s
back”
and
then, f)
the
Guurti
House
hastily
passed a
motion
to
increase
president
Riyaale’s
tenure
in
office
for
another
one
year, a
measure
that is
contrary
to the
constitution
and the
laws of
the land
in order
1) To
covertly
support
and
substantiate
the
erroneous,
bias,
and
damaging
reports
of the
UN 2) To
brazenly
postpone
the
national
election
for the
third
time,
and 3)
To
undermine
the
amicable
agreement
between
the
three
national
parties
and the
National
Election
Commission
in
relation
to the
timetable
of the
upcoming
presidential
and
local
government
elections.
Does
that
ring a
bell?
Example
# 3: The
Hasty
Announcement
for
Creating
Six (6)
New
Regions:
We know
that
this
saboteur,
divisive
and
treacherous
act by
president
Riyaale
for
creating
six (6)
new
regions
such as
Selel,
Gabiley,
Oodweyne,
Saraar,
Buhoodle,
and
Badhan
regions
thereby
doubling
the
number
of
regions
in this
small
and poor
country
to
twelve
(12),
which it
can
hardly
afford
was
intended
to
further
divide
the
people
of
Somaliland
into
tribal
and
regional
fiefdoms
in order
to
employ a
divide
and rule
policy
on them
and to
further
destroy
their
unity
and
amicable
coexistence
and
fabric
of the
society
so as to
undermine
the
overall
peace,
security
and
stability,
and
territorial
integrity
of
Somaliland
as well
as to
entirely,
undermine
the
cause
and
existence
of
Somaliland
in the
long
run.
We
know
that
with the
exception
of
Gabiley
and
Badhan
regions,
the rest
are not
viable
territorially,
politically,
economically,
and
socially
and are
not
worthy
to
promoted
to
regional
status.
We
know
that
president
Riyaale’s
intentions,
all
along,
was to
create
the
regions
of Selel,
Buhoodle,
and
Badhan
in order
to bring
the
number
of
regions
by the
old USP
alliance
to five
(5) i.e.
Awdal,
Sool,
Selel,
Buhoodle,
and
Badhan
under
the
guise of
equality
and in
creating
Gabiley,
Odweyne,
and
Saraar
regions
thereby
bring
the
total
for the
pro-SNM
communities
to seven
regions
(7)
regions.
We
know
that
with old
USP
alliance
now have
a total
of five
(5)
regions
and the
pro-SNM
communities
have
seven
(7)
regions
and the
difference
between
the two
groups
is
currently
only two
(2)
regions.
And that
president
Riyaale
and his
henchmen
are
counting
on to
close
the gap
in the
future
by
recruiting
some
unpatriotic
and
corrupt
parliamentary
members
from
both
Houses
of
Parliament
(House
Representative
and the
Guurti)
who are
pro-federalist
or
pro-unity
with
Somalia
or
Somaliweyn
lackeys
who may
allow
him to
pass,
for
instance,
a motion
that
either
Somaliland
to stand
alone as
it is or
to unite
once
again
with
Somalia
due to
the
circumstance
or
predicaments
that may
prevail
in that
planned
period.
And if
this
happens
there is
the
likelihood
that the
pro-federalist
or
Somaliweyn
side may
win the
vote or
if it
ends up
a tie, a
referendum
might be
launched
to
resolve
the
issue.
Do you
see the
short
term and
long
term
threats
and
endangerment
to the
hard won
independence,
the
cause
and
existence
of
Somaliland
brought
unto you
by this
arrogant
and
unqualified
president?
Example
# 4: The
Deployment
of
Tribal
Militias
Under
the
Guise of
Somaliland
Armed
Forces:
We know
that
most of
the 2000
militias
under
the
uniform
and in
disguise
of the
Somaliland
Armed
Forces,
which
were
transferred
from
Borame
or Awdal
region
and
deployed
in
Hargeisa,
the
capital
of the
country
as well
as an
Isaaq
city
were
secretly
recruited,
trained,
and
armed in
order to
serve as
a
special
Gudabiirsi
tribal
militia,
which
president
Riyaale
hails
from.
We know
that
most of
these
tribal
militias
are not
citizens
of
Somaliland
and that
they are
believed
to be
Somali-Ethiopians
of
Gudabiirsi
origin
from
Zone 5
of the
Federal
Republic
of
Ethiopia.
And that
is a
clear
treachery
and
colossal
treason
against
the
public
and
State of
Somaliland
that
must be
brought
to
justice.
We
know
that
most of
these
tribal
militias
previously
belonged
to the
SDA and
Horyaal
guerillas—an
anti-Isaaq,
anti-SNM,
anti-Somaliland
war
criminals
who have
previously
long
been
defeated
during
the long
and
bitter
struggle
to
liberate
the
people
and
Somaliland.
And non
of them
have
been
prosecuted
for the
war
crimes
and
crimes
against
humanity
against
the
innocent
women,
children,
and the
frail
elderly
particularly
in
Gabiley,
Arabsiyo,
Kalabaydh,
and
adjacent
areas
Isn’t it
amazing
that
these
war
criminals
have
resurfaced
again
and are
still at
their
old evil
deeds of
gory and
blood?
We
know
that
these
tribal
militias
were
given
the
orders
by the
president
and
their
commanders
to
breach
our
solid
peace,
foment
insecurity
and
instability
in the
capital,
crush
public
demonstrations,
and to
arrest
and
humiliate
some
marked
key
national
leaders
particularly
the
KULMIYE
party
officials
and the
veteran
SNM
Mujahideens.
For
example,
to
besiege
the
capital
city and
its
residents
and
impose
and mane
an
unannounced
and
illegal
curfew
from
dusk to
dawn
utterly
unacceptable.
And a
common
and
laughable
new
phrase
by these
Gudabiirsi
militias
that has
been
added in
the
vocabulary
and
dictionary
of the
proud
and
noble
Somalilanders
is their
constant
use of
the
phrase,
“Huno
Seex
Seexda”
meaning
“darling
go to
sleep in
a hash
manner”
with
their
guns
cocked
and
trigger
happy to
kill
innocent
civilians!!
And to
show
that
they
meant
business,
they
opened a
hail of
bullets
on a
civilian
car
carrying
some
passengers
from a
wedding
ceremony
thereby
killing
instantly
in cold
blood a
teenage
Isaaq
girl. By
the name
Hani,
may God
rest her
soul in
peace,
Amiin.
Apparently,
the cold
blooded
militia
gun-men
have not
been
arrested
to-date,
while
the
driver
of the
car who
narrowly
escaped
death
was
immediately
arrested
and
currently
languishing
in a
jail for
no
reason.
Sounds
familiar?
We
know
that
most of
the
frontline
troops
in Adhi
Adeeye,
Laas
Anood,
Abesaley,
and the
adjacent
areas
who were
manning
the far
east
frontiers
from the
enemy
most of
whom
were
from the
Dhulbahante
tribe
were
quickly
order to
vacate
their
defensive
position
and
redeployed
in Burao
City,
the
second
capital
of
Somaliland.
And we
also
know
that the
reasons
behind
the
initial
recruitment
or
integration
of these
Dhulbante
militias
most of
whom
were
previously
Puntland's
tribal
militias.
We
now,
know
that
with
thousands
of
Gudabiirsi
militias
deployed
in
Hargeisa
City,
the
capital
and the
most
populous
city of
Somaliland
and
hundreds
of
Dhulbahante
militias
deployed
in Burao
City,
the
second
capital
and the
second
most
populous
city in
the
country,
is
evidence
of
sealing
the
secret
oath and
resuscitation
of the
old USP
political
and
tribal
alliances
in
Somaliland.
Get the
point?
Example
# 5: The
End of
the
president’s
Constitutional
Tenure
in
Office:
We know
that the
five-year
constitutional
tenure
of
president
Riyaale
is on 15
May
2008.
We know
that the
one (1)
year
increase
of the
president’s
tenure
in
office
by the
un
elected
and
rogue
Guurti
House is
uncalled
for or
unwarranted,
illegal,
and
contrary
to the
Constitution
and the
laws of
the
land.
We
know
that all
the six
(6)
region,
Districts,
Cities,
Townships,
and
villages
including
rural
areas as
well as
our
independent
and
proud
pastoral
societies
are all
safe and
sound
since
the
people
and the
country
are
generally
at peace
with
themselves.
Therefore,
the
reason
of the
Guurti
House to
increase
the
tenure
of the
president
by one
more
year is
false
and
non-existent,
other
than, to
recklessly
interfere
with
democratic
process,
election
process,
hijacking
the
authority
and
duties
of
National
Election
Commission
(NEC),
killing
the
amicable
agreement
of the
election
stakeholders
such as
the
three
national
political
parties
and the
NEC,
illegal
imposition
of a new
timetable
election,
ramming
through
every
illegal
legal
procedure
when
there
isn’t,
at all,
any
insecurity
or
instability
in
Somaliland.
And
their
policies,
practices,
and
actions
on this
regard
is
clearly
unwarranted
and
tantamount
to high
crimes
and
treason
against
the
public
and the
State of
Somaliland.
We know
that
president
Riyaale
and his
henchmen
have
made a
habit of
unabatedly
disrespecting
and
trampling
on the
Constitution
and laws
of the
land.
We
know
that
president
Riyaale
has in
the past
and in
the
present
ignored
the
outcry
or calls
by the
majority
of
citizenry
within
the
country
and in
the
Diasporas
to
respect
and
adhere
to the
constitution
and the
laws of
the
land,
and to
desist
from his
unending
of
fabrication
of
constitutional
crisis
that has
poisoned
the
political
discourse
of this
country
in the
public
and
national
interest.
But to
no
avail.
We know
that
president
Riyaale
has
openly
stated
that he
will not
vacate
the
presidency
even
after
his
tenure
in
office
ends on
15 May
2008
meaning
that he
occupy
the
office
illegally,
continue
to abuse
power,
and
misrule
by
force!!
We
know
that
with the
deployment
of the
tribal
militias
in
disguise
of
Somaliland
Armed
Forces
in the
major
cities
of
Somaliland
such as
Hargeisa,
Berbera,
Burao,
etc. is
evidence
that he
is
asking
for a
fight or
bloodshed—one
that is
reminiscent
of the
injustice,
gross
violation
of human
rights,
civil
war,
barbarism,
massacres,
mass
graves,
displacement
of
civilians
particularly
women,
children,
and the
frail
elderly,
war
crimes,
and
crimes
against
humanity,
and
genocidal
war of
the
tyrannical
military
regime
of
Savage
Siyad
Bare,
which he
served
locally
to the
very
bitter
end.
We
finally,
know
that he
foolishly
considers
himself
as the
defeated
and
deposed
Dictator
Siyad
Bare and
his
inept
administration
as the
deposed
tyrannical
military
regime
and UDUB
party as
the XHKP
party of
Somalia
and
further
considers
KULMIYE
party as
the SNM
and its
leaders
as the
Mahbar
or
Qurmis
guerillas.
That is
the kind
of
mentally
this
rogue
president
harbours
and the
root
cause
for his
abuse of
power
and
constant
provocations,
which
must be
stopped
by all
necessary
means
before
it is
too
late.
As a
result
of these
high
crimes
most of
which
are
tantamount
to
treachery
and
treason
against
the
people
and
State of
Somaliland.
And the
citizenry
within
the
country
and in
the
Diasporas
including
foreigners
have had
enough
of it
and
loudly
and
clearly,
on
numerous
occasions,
to this
blind,
deaf,
dumb,
and
rogue
president
Riyaale
and his
henchmen
that
they
have run
out of
all
option
to
continue
tolerating
him as
president
of the
Republic
of
Somaliland
on 15
May
2008,
and that
he must
go—come
hell
come
high
water in
order to
maintain
peace,
security,
and the
stability
of the
country
as well
as to
continue
on the
democratic
process
and,
most
importantly,
to save
the
overall
cause
and
existence
of
Somaliland.
Isn’t
that
fair
enough?
Furthermore,
the
people
of
Somaliland
can no
longer
put up
with the
kind of
misrule
of this
unqualified
and
arrogant
president
Riyaale,
his
inept
and
corrupt
administration,
the
unpatriotic
UDUB
party,
and his
mainly
NSS
Gestapo,
Dhabar
Jebinta
Isaaq,
Hangash,
Tribal
Militias,
and
Faqash
that has
infested
the
government
and key
national
institutions
of
Somaliland.
Consequently,
the
people
of
Somaliland
detest
greatly
and can
no
longer
put up
with
president
Riyaale’s
empty
arrogance,
hollow
rhetoric,
tribal
brouhaha,
and the
constant
fabrication
of one
constitutional
crisis
after
the
other—he
is
indeed
an
unscrupulous
president
or
unprincipled
rogue
without
moral
principles
or
ethical
standards
in his
conduct
and
actions.
Worse
still,
he
posses
no
scrupulous
and
conscience
or
regards
or
contempt
for laws
of right
or
justice
with
which he
is
perfectly
well
acquainted
and
which
should
have
restrained
his
widely
detested
and
damaging
policies
and
actions.
Moreover,
the
people
of
Somaliland
from
within
and in
the
Diasporas
widely
detest
and
despise
president
Riyaale’s
and his
henchmen’s
unscrupulous
methods
of
endemic
corruption,
embezzling
public
funds,
and
taking
advantage
of the
unfortunate
citizenry
particularly
the
poor,
women,
children,
and the
frail
elderly
of this
poor and
unrecognized
country.
Therefore,
the
people
of
Somaliland
within
the
country
and the
Diasporas
are
strongly
and
loudly
demanding
that
president
Riyaale
to be
pushed
aside by
any
means
necessary
at the
end of
his
tenure
in
office
on 15
May
2008.
And
there
should
not be
any
dithering
or back
off
their
strong
position
that is
widely
supported
by the
general
public
since it
is
already
in the
public
domain
that
come
hell or
high
water,
the
opposition
parties
will no
longer
recognize
president
Riyaale
as the
legitimate
president
of the
Republic
of
Somaliland
when his
tenure
officially
ends on
15 May
2008.
And
failure
to
comply
with it
or
maintain
it or
implement
this
legitimate
position
is
equally
tantamount
to
treachery
and
treason
on the
part of
the
political
parties
and
politicians
on both
camps,
the
House of
Representatives,
the
Guurti
House,
the
Supreme
Court,
and the
Constitutional
Court of
Somaliland.
The only
compromise
that may
be
acceptable
to the
people
of
Somaliland,
wherever
they may
reside
is the
creation
of an
Interim
Coalition
Government
that
will
fill the
vacuum,
which
will, in
return,
return
the
country
back to
its
previously
derailed
democratic
process
and to
prepare
them to
hold the
now
sabotaged
presidential
and
local
government
election.
Conclusion:
Overall,
the
people
of
Somaliland
are not
moved
one bit
by
president
Riyaale’s
attempt
to
undermine
and
hijack
UDUB
party in
his bid
to
resuscitate
the long
dead
tribal
alliances
and the
USP of
the late
50s and
60s. And
UDUB
party
must
rejuvenate
itself
and take
its
rightful
position
in the
country’s
affairs.
Moreover,
it is
clear
that
president
Riyaale
is in
cahoots
with the
UN
Special
Representative
for
Somalia
and
other
foreigners
such as
the TFG
of
Somalia
in their
bid to
foment
political
turmoil
and
chaos,
to
trigger
a civil
war, to
undermine
the
democratic
process,
to
sabotage
the
upcoming
presidential
and
local
government
elections,
to
tarnish
the
international
image
and
standing
of the
peaceful
and
democratic
Somaliland,
and to
undercut
the
efforts
towards
the
international
recognition
of
Somaliland—an
action
that is
indeed
tantamount
to
treachery,
high
crimes,
and
treason
that
must be
brought
to
justice
without
any
delay
and the
culprits
be
prosecuted
and
punished
accordingly.
Furthermore,
his
saboteur
and
divide
and rule
policies
and
actions
in
hastily
announcing
six (6)
new
regions
without
public
consultation
or
carrying
a
research
or
feasibility
study as
to
whether
they are
necessary,
viable,
and
worthy
of
promotion
to
regional
status,
which is
unprecedented
anywhere
in the
world
will not
stand.
Above
all, his
tribal
militias
from
Awdal
and
Sool,
which
have
been
provocatively
deployed
mainly
in
Hargeisa
and
Burao
cities,
the two
largest
and most
populous
cities
in the
country
will
neither
scare
the
residents
of these
cities
nor
subjugate
them
into
accepting
dictatorship
and
tyranny
in their
land or
put a
single
dent on
the
dominant
clan of
this
country.
And they
are
proud
and
confident
to state
here
that
they
have in
past
prevailed
against
all odds
and been
victorious
against
gigantic
Hurricanes
and
hordes
of
barbarous
tribal
militias
as well
as
tyrannical
and
fascistic
military
regimes
who
employed
a scorch
earth
policy
and
inhumane
genocidal
wars
that by
far
dwarfs
the kind
of the
little
dust
cyclone
he is
attempting
to brew
in
Hargeisa
and
Burao
cities.
Therefore,
they
will
certainly
prevail
and be
victorious
against
their
avowed
enemies—and
enemies
of
Mankind,
as
always.
And that
his
petty
and
inexperience
rag-tag
tribal
militias
and
their
cohorts
from his
home
region
and
elsewhere,
will be
wiped
out if
they
attempt
to
harass
and
begin to
brutalize
the
innocent
civilians.
That is
for
sure!
On the
other
hand, we
know
that
president
Riyaale
have
been
lied to
into
believing
that his
closest
and
reckless
Cabinet
Ministers
and key
UDUB
party
leaders
such as
Cawil,
Sulub,
Ciro,
Waran
Cade,
Ahmed
Haji
Dahir,
Buni,
Dhola
Yare,
Ina
Saleeban
Weyne,
Haji
Abdi
Waraabe,
Habane
(the
Secretary
of the
Guurti),
Sheikh
Fure,
Bulale,
and
others
will,
incase
of
trouble,
quickly
and
decisively
mount a
formidable
tribal
militias
from
their
respective
tribes
in his
aid, not
knowing
that
these
loud-mouthed
demagogues
and
provocative
senior
officials
are
alone in
this
evil
brew of
hate and
conflicts
and
already
fighting
a losing
battle
in their
attempts
to
blindly
support
dictatorship
and the
re-incarnation
of their
previous
Faqash
era.
Consequently,
the
unqualified
and
arrogant
president
Riyaale
have
also
been
lied to
and been
misled
to
believe
that
Atto
Meles
Zinawi
will
come to
his aid
when the
jinni
goes out
of the
bottle
and that
he will
send
Battalions
or
Divisions
of
Ethiopian
military
personnel
and tons
of all
sorts of
heavy
weaponry
across
the
silent
and
peaceful
Somaliland-Ethiopian
border
to
subjugate
and
defeat
the
people
and the
State of
Somaliland.
But
neither
Atto
Meles
Zinawi
nor the
Ethiopian
Military
are that
foolish
to open
another
war
front in
their
eastern
border
particularly
a
dangerous
and
formidable
front
that is
much
closer
to
Jigjiga,
Dire
Dawa,
Addis
Ababa,
and
Makale
City.
The
Ethiopian
military
are
already
in a
quagmire
in
Somalia
and
their
priority,
at the
moment,
is
either
to
prevail
over
their
opponents
or to
find
ways and
means to
extricate
themselves
from the
mess
they
have
created,
in the
first
place,
in a
manner
that
will not
backfire
on them
or
follow
them to
Addis
Ababa.
After
all,
Atto
Meles
Zinawi
and
Ethiopia
are not
that
foolish
to
discard
unnecessarily
the
existing
security
and
trade
agreement
in
place,
that is,
in their
public
and
national
interest.
And the
friendly
and
peaceful
peoples
of
Somaliland
and
Ethiopia
can
never be
done
with,
for the
sake of
propping
up
Riyaale
and his
henchmen
who have
long
lost the
public
confidence
who
hails
from a
minority
ethnic
group
that has
no
political,
economic,
social,
and
military
clout in
Somaliland
or
elsewhere
in the
Horn of
Africa
region.
In
addition,
there is
a
serious
political
and
military
conflict
that is
cropping
up
between
Eritrea
and
Djibouti
and for
