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.

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.

Who Runs the Show in SOMALIA?The Salafist Movement,Elite Clan Leaders? ETHIOPIA-IGAD? UN or Somali People-Citizens? Part.1Wait and see..
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?.

Why and Who killed the Heroine Saada Ali Warsamne.Wait and see.
Here is another comment I have written for a friend on Facebook.com after the assassination of the Somali Heroine Saada Ali Warsame..
Hi Hodan. Dont ‘get nervous or annoyed by the Somali cultural
weakness which is also called Clan-ism. Everybody in Somalia uses Clans as the
basic ideological point of any discourse. Saada was and will be a national #Heroine and that
annoys the #Salafist groups the #Ethiopians allied puppet #Leaders and what
I call the Organized crimes groups which are those who killed Saada.The last Somali #Heroine was #Hawa Tako
which participated in the #SYL movement
and was part of the uprising /fight
against colonialism and was Killed in
MOGADISHU by the Colonialist . There was a monument for her honor which was
destroyed and obliterated by Warlords -Clans infighting instigated and planned
by ETHIOPIA and the Salafist movement
in Mogadishu in 1991. For all
those who are running the Show in Mogadishu and all over Somalia-so called
regional States- for the time being #Saada was the
number one #Enemy. First she was a #Woman which is
a bad thing when they go in politics for them. Secondly she was fearless and maybe
the pioneer of the "would be Somali #feminist movement"
while respecting our Culture and Religion. Thirdly she has not that Clan streak
mentality with is used to subdivide and re-colonize our Country. She was 100 %#Nationalist. That is another bad thing for the enemies of the SOMALIS. Do not worry
she will be remembered and will be the #Uniting symbol
for all Somalis. Please read my blog the post called:"#OIL and #GAS, mini-Clan-Enclaves and ETHIOPIA-IGAD Hegemony.". Somalis are
manipulated and controlled by non-State actors like the Salafist Movement which
is allied to state Actors like ETHIOPIA, KENYA, SUDAN ect .Things will change
but like every good revolutionary we have to be patient and prepare for the
Coming Future Change. Wait and see.
