Why Somali Republic is a "Perpetual Failed State" for the last 30 years?In this blog I try to answer to that question and in particular of the failure of Somali politics.How Clan Elites have been used by Regional powers and the Somali Salafist Movement and the end game plan to make Somali Republic Clan Enclaves.Who controls Somali economy and political control of Clans in Clan Enclaves.

Why #AlShabaab has attacked the Central Hotel. and the symbiotic relationship of Tigre intelligence,,the Somali SalafistBusinessCartels with AlShabaab.Wait and see.
Friday 20/02/2015 the criminal attack at one of the landmarks of Mogadishu:
the ex-chinese Embassy and annexed
appartements in front of “Hawo Taako” monument destroyed by the warlords now renamed Central Hotel must be seen in the
contest of #Somali #Conflict"
and the struggle of #supremacy of #Alshabaab,the #SalafistBusinsessCartels and
the #Tgre Intelligence-
which is housed at the Ethiopian Embassy
within the compound of the Presidency and coordinates the undercover operations
of Ethiopia.It was an attack aimed at two groups: the Elites from Somali
Diaspora and specially those from the Somaliland, Khatuma state regions of
Somalia which usually gather at that Hotel. The Hotel is owned by one of the
richest and oldest families of Hargheisa the Jirde family. The attack was specially
directed at the deputy PM Mr. Arte and his own entourage and MPs from
Somaliland region.You will ask why aiming at this group.? First let me give you
a short time line about the whole Somali conflict and specially in Somaliland
region.. The game Plan of #ETHIOPIA-#IGAD and
the #SalafistBusinessCartels to
subdivide Somalia in Clan #Enclaves#sectarian system
is being rejected by the same Clan communities it was made to subdivide and
make enemies .In the Somaliland region the regime has been rejected by the
Clans of Khatumo State who declared
themselves part of the Somali Republic and
the Clans of Awdal are almost waiting for the right moment to rebel. Within the
Clans of the central regions who are the Clan Blood lineage Ruling Elites of
Somaliland there is division on how they see the future of the region and the
ETHIOPIAN Agenda blow back in the future for their Clans and the regional #SalafistBusinessCartels
hegemony .Just like in all of Somali Republic their #Economy is controlled by few #subClans Elites
part of the Somali #SalafistBusinessCartels fighting over supremacy and in the
political sphere only one sub-Clan blood lineage Elites puppet Leaders has
accumulated all power specially in the administration,executive and security
services. In this contest the coming of Mr. Arte to Mogadishu capital of the
Somali Republic and his appointment as deputy PM is a big blow to the ETHIOPIAN
Agenda to have separate sovereign Republic Clan-Enclaves in Somaliland region
and the Ruling regime of Mr. Silanyo in
Somalialnd region. But where #AlShabaab is in this #picture?
My own analysis which you can get from my posts at "wardigley.blogspot.com" is the following. #Alshabaabi is
part of the Somali #Salafist #Movement just
like the #SalafistBusinessCartels,Organized Crimes and the
Preachers,scholars,NGOs in Education,Charities, and some Mosque Imams.Therefore
there is always some members or groups within the Somali
#SalafistBusinessCartels which have close relations with #Alshabaab which
represents the most Radical and #Jihadist group
in the movement. But also the same#SalafasitBusinessCartels have
a strong #alliance with
the #ETHIOPIA-IGAD countries to #subdivide #Somalia in #Clan-Enclaves
Blood lineage and have the total control of the economy in all over Somalia.
Mr. Mohamed Omar Arte the deputy PM being part of the political federal system
for Somalia – he is now injured but safe-is a big blow to the sinister agenda
of both the Salafist Movement specially the Business Cartels and the
#ETHIOPIA-#IGAD agenda for #SOMALIA. The Deputy PM ,his friends politicians and
all those from Somaliland region has broken the rules of the game made by
ETHIOPIA and the Salafist Cartels. And with the international community- read
the West,the Arab /Muslim World having a second look at Somalia things are not
"Business as usual" for ETHIOPIA.. #Alshabaab linkage with the
Salafist Business Cartels makes easy to kill everybody -using Alshabaab system-
who is against the policies of #ETHIOPIA and the #SalafistBusinessCartels.Read
my post " Who are the Business people of Somalia" and "For the
new PM of Somalia: Lessons from a recent past of December 2013" and also “
Short rebuttal to Matt bryden interview ..June2013.”. My Conclusion is: there is
a symbiotic relationship between the Somali SalafistBusinessCartels,Tigre
intelligence and Alshabaab.If you read also my post titled “ the Criminal
motives behind the Car-bombing of Ahmed modobe.." you will see also the working methodology.The main strategic goal of the Tigre regime of ETHIOPIA and the Somali SalafaistBusinessCartels is to control
the resourece of Somalia specially the vast reserves of OIL and GAS. For that
reasons the US,EU, and the Arab countries who themselves used to finance and support ideologically the Salafist movement of Somalia are out of the game. Somalis must
be subdivided in Clan Enclaves sectarian system like Republic of Somaliland,
Puntland, Jubba regions,South West region ect who are under the Hegemony
of ETHIOPIA and IGAD countries. The Somali Con-federal state called federal state will be
an out fit which will share some powers between this sovereign states as planned by ETHIOPIA. The Salafist Business Cartels which have
total control of the
economy,education,health,Trade,banking,utilities,Agriculture etc and has influence already on some of the regional state stricture like
Ports,airports, taxation policies,security like Police and central government will in future be
part of the exploitation of the OIL and GAS. The Salafist Business cartels
will be able to finance secretly the Global Jihadist groups and ETHIOPIA-CHINA-IRAN
will be the Hegemonic powers in East AFRICA/Horn of Africa and specially Somali Republic. Who
controls the OIL and GAS of Somalia will
control Horn of AFRICA.Wait and see.

It’s SOMALIA Federal Government on the BRINK of IMPLOSION? Part 1.Wait and see.
If we read Somali media in these days
it seems all Déjà vu. After 25 Octobert 2014 the day the reshuffle was annonced the usual infighting between President and PM of the
Somali Federal government started going at full speed with all the recrimination,
accusations on the FM radios and specially the BBcsomali.com and the VoaSomali
.com,Somali websites etc. But to all accounts things are very different from past infighting's although the form is the same. Now the international community looks more united , involved - speaking openly-specially the UN, EU on the issues at stake of the reshuffle and supporting the PM reshuffle , while the Ethiopian government and IGAD countries are siding with the President. The US is silent but every body assuming they are siding with the International community and the UN. Also silent are Turkey and Qatar which I suspect are-mistakenly- siding with the President but U.A.E and Saudi Arabia I do not think they will ever accept a Somalia controlled by ETHIOPIA and a bunch of Salafist Business Cartels allied to Organized crimes. The main issue is the reshuffle of some ministries made by the Somali PM Abdiweli Sheik Ahmed and the one specially on the now "infamous" Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs.This Minister Mr. Abdulkadir Farah is of a unique "specimen" in the Somali political kaleidoscope.He is a well know as a so- called Salafist-secretary general of the Salafist party so-called Damu Jadid (New Blood) and in the same time "very Close" ally of the Tigre regime of Ethiopia. This party unofficially is the one who fundraised and collected money from Kuwait foundations ( to whom was working at least for the last 15 years before he became politician and Minister in 2012),Qatar organizations, who where used to finance the Election of President Hassan Sheik in 2012. Also he is the main point man of the sub colonization of the Somali Republic, the subdivision of the country in Clan-Enclaves( he was behind and signed the so- called "Addis-Ababa Agreement" for the Jubba regions which is a total failure and rejected by the Clan- communities of that region ) based on sectarian system and more importantly of the change of our legal system in a subtle way-.read my post " The Rule of Law or Rule of Militant Salafist ". While I was writing this article on Friday 07/ November it came in the news that the a Motion of no-confidence for the PM will be made on November 08 2014. Before I give my take on the main issues of this controversy and infighting let me make a short timeline of past events between PM and Presidents and the usual power struggles and manipulation of ETHIOPIA in the Somali so- called political system.. From 2000 when the IGAD group run and used by ETHIOPIA for the sub
colonization of SOMALIA started being the main architect in the institution Building
of Somali State this infighting was part of the Somali political “system”. It
was mostly engineered by the Tigre Regime of ETHIOPIA and the Somali Local political-economic actors like the Salafist Movement represented by the Salafist Business cartels, their
Close allies the Somali Organized Crimes groups- part of the Business community and Elite politicians- and the Somali Elite Clan puppet
Leaders who usually defend, promote the interest of ETHIOPIA and IGAD countries( to know more read my post called " For the New PM: lessons from a recent past" of December 2013.).
We have witnessed the infighting between President Abdullahi Yusuf and his two
PMs in between 2004-2009. We have also seen the infighting between President Sheik Sharif Ahmed and
his two PMs like Omar Abdirashid Sharmarke and Mohamed Abdullahi “Farmajo”. Every time one prime Minister was
ousted and replaced by another. As the pundits at BBCSomali.com said it was an
average of one PM per year from 2000 till today.President Hassan which everybody
expected to be different –being an academic with a long experience and connections with the West- but looks he is worse or the same
pasta of all the other past Presidents. He is ousting his second PM, the first Shirdoon was ousted when he tried to replace this same Minister Mr. Farah Abdulkadir. Here I am not accusing past and present presidents to be bad or good but everyone was conditioned and pressurized by the local interest groups- mainly the Salafist Business Cartels and the Elite Clan puppet leaders to whom they were linked as Leaders and individual politician. President Abdikassim was an Al-Islah-moderate Islamist group member,former Minister in Siad Barre regime who was disliked by ETHIOPIA by being also a Nationalist who disliked ETHIOPIA and IGAD countries monopoly in Somali National Politics. His PM was a pro- West academic Mr. Ali Khalif Galayr who also disliked the Ethiopian interference and control. .The others who followed were just mere puppet Leaders there for opportunistic reasons.President Abdikassim came there by default.It was the only time the Ethiopians were outsmarted in the making of Puppet Leaders for Somalia.All other conferences and so- called elections were controlled and manipulated by ETHIOPIA-IGAD. At the Carta conference the IGAD group mainly Ethiopia was for the other candidate Mr. Abdullahi Addow in the Presidential race but the conference Clan MPs-delegates elected Abdikassim supported by the Somali Salafist Business Cartels who were financing the conference, facilitated its outcome together with the Djibouti government.The Clans Blood Lineage are all the time used to be the main system to choose the President and PM.After it was the Magbati, Nairobi conference of 2004 in which the Clan based MPs elected Abdullahi Yusuf (2004-2009) a Colonel who was one of the founding members of the Clan based opposition groups the S.S.D.F who later in 2008 will become first President of the second Clan- Enclave administration of Puntland. in 2008. He believed that with military force and the assistance of the Ethiopian-Tigre Armada which will be permitted to invade Somalia, Somalis can be ruled with Iron fist and the Salafist movement- the islamic Courts Union and Al-Shabaab - subdued or eliminated.. But unfortunately his own PM Mr. Prof. Ali Mohamed Gedi who was there thanks to Meles Zenawi regime was against him from day one.Secondly he came to realize that his best friends the Tigre Armada of Ethiopia were there to recolonize Somalia and not to fight Al-Shabaab and the Islamic Courts Union.His second PM has more sympathy to ETHIOPIA Agenda and they did not like each other because he had Presidential ambitions.
The Time of President Sheik Sharif Ahmed.
President abdullahi Yusuf was changed before his time was up.The Tigre regime of ETHIOPIA has its political game plans.They made a political deal in 2009 arranged by the Somali Salafist Business cartels/Organized crimes ( read my post of july 2014"Endemic Corruption? Somali Republic is base to Organized crimes/Drug Trafficking groups from at least last 23 years.") with some members of the now disbanded Islamic Courts Union and some of the so- called members of the Parliament who used to be so- called "rebels" and who were relocated in Asmara.Eritrea. The deal with Ethiopia was made by Sheik Sharif Ahmed -former number 2 of the Islamic courts Union- who will became President in pre- arranged presidential- Clans MPs Election in Djibouti,Djibouti Republic and Mr. Sharif Hassan- best friend of ETHIOPIA and IRAN- who will became the next Speaker of Parliament. This regime will be from 2009- 2012.

CLAN-ENCLAVES SECTARIANISM: The NEW Political System For Somali Federal Republic Part 1.
This new post is the continuation of my last article entitled " WHO Runs he Show in Somalia?.The Salafist movement......"? Here I will go forward and write shortly on other issues like the Baidowa demonstrations and the underling events, the new political thinking of what I call the "Clan Enclaves Sectarianism" Concept which is also the basis of this new Institutions Building.like the "pseudo self-Determination Rights". The Bakara market closure as a protest against new government Taxes by the Salafist Business Cartels( Read my post the Somali Business people)..The new type of so- called legal" "Hybrid" system seen in the Military courts of Puntland, Federal government , Kismayo-Lower Juba- in which The Sura' of the Holy Qura'n and the Penal code are mixed( read my post "Rule of the Law or Rule of Militant Salafist" of February 2013)..The Invasion of the Clan Militia of Somaliland regional State at the inauguration day of Ali Khalif Galeir as President of the New regional state of Khatumo and other like the new Disarmament policy of Somali federal government of disarming the Private militia Warlords.Organized crimes,Drug traffickers and so- called security Companies( which have been stopped for the time being.). . I will give numbers to the "events" as continuations and links to the past events I have taken up::
(4)The important event I would like to mention here is the demonstration in Baidowa- where one person was killed and others injured- against the support of Somali government and UNSOM/IGAD of the new formation of Clan -Enclaves by siding with the group of the three(3) regions While I was writing this article Mr. Nick Kay went to Baidowa and met with the speaker of the Parliament Mr. Jawari to facilitate reconciliation between the two groups and the installment of an administration..( Read my post the " The Pseudo-Self-Determination Rights of Clans-People(s) Enclaves engineered by ETHIOPIA-IGAD countries of July 2014"). Both groups are supported by the Tigre regime of ETHIOPIA and the Bay/Bakol regions have Ethiopian Army as AU/Amisom contingent.One group is led by Mr.Sharif Hassan former speaker of Somali federal parliament- best friend of IRAN-CHINA-ETHIOPIA-who is the political Baron of that Clan Community-Blood Lineage group-of the so-called three (3) regional states.Actually his half brother is the self declared president of that regional state..The other group is led by Mr. Madobe Nunow another former speaker who is allied to ETHIOPIA-IGAD countries.
The main issues here are two how big is the Clan-Enclaves Blood lineage regions and who will be the "Political Baron" of he so-called regional state( only one can be the main Baron) and how to deal with the region which the majority of the inhabitants are not same Clan-Blood Lineage like the Lower Shabelle region.The Plan by ETHIOPIA-IGAD later adopted by Somali government and UNSOM, and so-called international community is to have the regions of Bay,Bakol and Lower Shabelle as one regional state unit called the "South West State". There were controversy within this two groups headed by the two former speakers about the real number of regions -Three or Six regions- which this so- called South West regional state will be made .Looks now they have settled on the Three regions( all planned and manipulated by ETHIOPIA-IGAD countries).There is a conference in this time which is aiming to solve this problems. This Clan Enclaves regional States are all based on two Political Principles-including the existent ones like Puntland, Somaliland, Galmudug- that one Clan Blood Lineage is the main Ruler of the Regional State and the model is a Sectarian type of Clan Power Supremacy which is the other Principle.
( to be continued)
Part 2: Why I Use the Word Clan Enclaves Sectarianism?
I use the word Clan- Enclaves sectarianism which in this Somali regional/ national contest has a big Meaning almost like an ideology to Rule the CLANS and subdivide them by the Somali Elite Puppet Leaders.
First I write about what the Wikipedia Encyclopedia says.: Sectarianism: according to one definition,is Bigotry,Discrimination or Hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived Differences between Subdivision within a Group, such as between different Denominations of a religion,Class,Regional or factions of a Political Movement..
My owns definition of the Clan-Sectarianism has cultural meaning,economic ownership of Land,mineral resources, like OIL and GAS, and all economic activities of that Region State.
My cultural sectarian meaning of a Clan is: a group which sees themselves different from others as history of Clans,Cultural poetry,,Blood lineage-ancestry,pastoral land and the new Territorial land,water wells and an "overwhelming Rights" on the land in which they live which is far different and "superior" from those Rights of the general citizen-people who can came to live,inhabit in the so- called region state.
The "political" meaning of the Clan Enclaves sectarianism is based on the principle " of the would be "Political supremacy" of the main Clan or Sub-clan ,the appropriation of resources ,appointments, in the political spheres of Institutions, security institutions like military,Intelligence and Police of the regional state, sub regions etc".
The socio- economic meaning of "Clan Enclaves Sectarianism" is based on the principle," that our Clan or Sub-Clan has absolute ownership,supreme right on the exploitation,ownership of the local- regional resources, be agricultural land,mineral resources like OIL and GAS,jobs, state and local appointment's, fishing rights etc. . All this so- called rights are based on Clan Blood Lineage Rule of the Clan but none is based on real legal norms. of the Somali Republic.
Which means the Salafist Business Cartels/Organized Crimes groups of that region or sub regions organized as Clans at the village level ,Town, or Clan regional group will Control,Monopolize the resources of that region be it Trade or any other activity like Telecom,Education, Health,Hawilad or money transfer etc.
In other words this "Clan-Enclaves Sectarianism" as a Model to our administrative Institutions of Regions will be codified and implemented as the political Model in all Somali Republic regions by the Elite Clan -Puppet Leaders and the Monopolistic Salafist Business Cartels/Organized Crimes groups.
(4)The important event I would like to mention here is the demonstration in Baidowa- where one person was killed and others injured- against the support of Somali government and UNSOM/IGAD of the new formation of Clan -Enclaves by siding with the group of the three(3) regions While I was writing this article Mr. Nick Kay went to Baidowa and met with the speaker of the Parliament Mr. Jawari to facilitate reconciliation between the two groups and the installment of an administration..( Read my post the " The Pseudo-Self-Determination Rights of Clans-People(s) Enclaves engineered by ETHIOPIA-IGAD countries of July 2014").

In other words this "Clan-Enclaves Sectarianism" as a Model to our administrative Institutions of Regions will be codified and implemented as the political Model in all Somali Republic regions by the Elite Clan -Puppet Leaders and the Monopolistic Salafist Business Cartels/Organized Crimes groups.
It already controls the economies and the Political spheres in Mogadishu-Benadir Regions,Puntland State Region, Somaliland State region, and partially in Lower Jubba-Kismayo city port, and Gerdo region.In all this regions everything is organized and based on the Clan concept of Clan Blood Lineage as social structures and Administrative/Political structures. And the Salafist Business Cartels of those Clans in the regions control the economies be it legal or illegal.( read my post called "Endemic Corruption? Somali Republic base to Organized Crimes/Drug Traffickers for at least the last 23 years.")..
This clan Enclaves sectarianism is not even just between the Clans or sub Clans of the regions or sub regions.Some will be rulers and others ruled within those Clans or sub-Clans of the same Blood Clan lineage.Those Clans who stand, who are promoters of the policies of ETHIOPIA-IGAD will be the Rulers and will take the biggest Share in political appointments,military.police, and control of the economy by the Salafist cartels of that same ruling Clans or sub Clans..
In this way the Elite-Clan puppet Leaders will use this strive and subdivision to manipulate,control and subdivide the Somali people-citizens of the Somali Republic for the sub-colonization of the Ethiopia-IGAD countries and the Salafist Movement of Somalia..

To understand Somali issues we must think in a "controversial way" and "Manipulative way of doing POLITICS" taking into account the Long standing "Power Struggle" between different Somali social-political-economic forces using Somali CLANS and Sub-Clans. Some are allied to ETHIOPIA-IGAD Countries like the "Elite Puppet Leaders" specially with ETHIOPIA and SUDAN and Salafist Business Cartels/Organized crimes/Drug Traffickers ( Read my post "Who are the Business People of Somalia" and. the post called" For the new PM: Lesson from a recent past"). Others are those I call the CLAN Nationalist and Moderate Islamist- who are not in power but supported by the majority of the people-citizens- who accept RULE of Law and democracy.In the Somali political murky system there is also the Role the so- called International Community which although united under the banner of the UN, AFRICAN UNION-IGAD, EUROPEAN UNION-UK , and USA , others like Arab Nations-I mean Saudi Arabia , Qatar,Abu-Dhabi,Egypt - and TURKEY are all still divided on the so- called "SOMALIA CONFLICT Resolution".The countries members of AU/AMISOM Military contingent everyone has its Policy/Agenda toward SOMALIA as a "new colonizing" power except those countries from the West of Africa.
This short introduction will serve to prepare us on understanding the last "Timeline of events" in Somalia specially the last three months ( when I say Somalia it encompasses all regions- from Ras Kamboni to Ras Asser-including Puntland and SOMALILAND regions, Jubba regions etc) and its repercussions on the "ongoing struggle" for SOMALIA and its "resources like OIL and GAS".
(1) Let me start first with the event of the full recognition by the US government of the Somali Federal Government and the consequent visit of President Hassan to USA. With the new "US policy" for Somalia President Hassan met with US Big OIL Companies who are holding the concessional Rights of about 70% of Somali OIL Basins last re-signed in 1989 by the Siad Barre regime.There is the story "making the rounds" that the Somali Minster for OIL and Mineral resources resigned another time those Rights for the US Big Companies. This has great significance for the Sovereignty,Territorial Integrity and Unity of the Somali Federal Republic. The so- called Elite Clan Leaders of Somaliland regions, Puntland regions and even Jubba regions were trying all these years to give new concessional rights for exploration to Chinese,France,Brasil and Italy companies on those old OIL and GAS Basins under the guise of so- called sovereignty of CLAN-ENCLAVES- self declared States- Pseudo Self-Determination Rights.( Read my post OIL and GAS,Mini CLAN ENCLAVES,ETHIOPIA-IGAD HEGEMONY and the post called (" The pseudo Self- Determination Rights of Somali Clan Enclaves" of July 2014).. The US government promised to fully participate in the Institution Building of the Somali Federal State and specially in the rebuilding of the National security services like the Army,Intelligence. and Police. But the most important is the" recognition that Somalia could not be sub-divided in CLAN ENCLAVES based on Sub-Clan Blood Lineage" and . the Sovereignty of Somalia is fully represented by the Somali Federal Republic.My Question is how the US new Policy will be seen by ETHIOPIA and some IGAD countries? They will accept it? What about their local allies the Somali Elite-Clan Puppet Leaders and the Salafist Movement specially the Salafist Business Cartels/Organized crimes groups who control the Economy of all Somalia?
(2) UN Security Council came to Mogadishu in a Historic visit including all 15 members. They met with the Somali Federal Government including the President,PM and his Cabinet, Somali civil society groups and two of the so-called regional Leaders like the Chairman of Jubba regions and Galmudug.region.
The UN Security Council fully endorsed what the Somali government calls the "NEW VISION PLAN" (benchmarks) which together with UN and IGAD is to remake all the Somali regions- based on the last 18 made by the Siad Barre regime- as a new Institutions made in a new Federated regional governments as a devolution of power and more sharing of National Resources between regions.. This new Plan is made also with the End game of having National and local Elections, presidential, Parliamentary elections including a Referendum for the New Constitution, in all the Somali Republic by Middle 2016. Did the IGAD countries, AMISOM and ETHIOPIA, Elite Clan puppet Leaders,Salafist Movement fully Cooperate with the Re-establishment of the Somali (Federal) Republic? Where all Clans- Communities are Equal in front of the Law, all people-citizens of a country where the Rule of the Law is supreme and the people- citizens elect their own Leaders? I do not believe the ETHIOPIA -IGAD group ha given up its Plans to sub-colonize Somalia and subdivide it in CLAN-ENCLAVES.
(3) Mr. DR.Abdiweli Ali Gaas-President of the so- called regional State of Puntland refused to meet the UN Security Council members when they came to Mogadishu and afterwards left for ETHIOPIA for the usual "consultation".He also had a problem with.the Somali Federal government because "he sees his region as a Clan Enclave which is sovereign State and part of a Confederate Somalia".He would like to have Somalia subdivided in "Would be Con-federal Republic where Puntland region is one of the Constituent States".He got the support of the ETHIOPIA-IGAD group in the Region all this years.How the UN,US EU Turkey,Arab Nations who are those stand for Somali Nationhood and UNITY,Sovereignty will deal with this Clan Enclaves Separatism?.
