History of the alliance between Ethiopia and All-Ittixad political movement.Wait and see.

Its quasi reasonable analysis of the Turkey role in Somalia. What I know is our friends Turkey one time has close contacts and business dealings Al-Ittixad business cartels which are allied with   Ethiopia and Al-Shabaab. Somali politics
is very complicated for those which are new comers and at first-sight if you think in black and white you will never understand it. Myself who has being involved in it for a very long time as a human rights lawyer and activist and lately as a blogger  it took me a very long time to understand it and came to know how the Islamist of Al-Ittixad business cartels could be allied with States like Ethiopia, China, Iran,  and France. First was about the hegemony of Ethiopia of the Somali territories but it became from the 90’ about the Oil and Gas of Somalia. For this reasons atheist State like China and Islamist-radicals like All-Ittixad business cartels are  allied. The masterminds of this alliance were Somali elites warlords-drug-barons linked to All-Ittixad political movement and in the same time members of the so-called movement-oppositions based in Ethiopia in the late 80".Later during the first conference for Somalia to reestablish a transitional government in Nairobi from 2004 the alliances was remade

 and strengthened including some”‘Ruling elites" of IGAD( Ethiopia,Uganda,Kenya,Tanzania,Sudan,  Professional Elites in politics, business, professionals in media-print and TV and Organized crimes groups of those countries.) and the governments of China, Iran, France, Italy, Russia. From 2004 the main agenda was to outsmart the Americans, The Arab world, the Islamic world  and have total control of  all  Somalia with sub-clans groups who call themselves autonomous regions-breakaway States and at the end have a Confederation of Somali States with names like Somaliland,Puntland,Jubbaland,Hiiraanland,Bay/Bakol land,Benadir land etc.In that way there is not anymore the Somali Republic but new states with new sovereignty and then the spoils would be divided between this international groups and Al-ittixad business Cartels who would control the economies of this new satellites states while the Ethiopians and IGAD will install leaders of their liking.

In the 80” when this quasi inhuman agenda was hatched the Regime of Menghiste needed to control Somalia by subdividing it in sub-clan based States. The two main leaders of the U.S.C- Manifesto group who said no to the Ethiopian hegemony were assassinated in Italy, masterminded by Somali Ittixad leaders’ members of the U.S.C and the Ethiopians, with the complicity of Italian mafia and the Italian intelligence services in April and July1990. The two were my  late father Ali Mohamed Ossoble who was one time vice-president of The S.N.M and later president of the U.S.C Roma( 1989-1990) and DR. Ismail Giumale Ossoble who started the Manifeto group(1990). After the assassination of these two leaders the U.S.C was taken over in Ethiopia-Nairobi by pro-Ethiopian groups and in Mogadishu by the All-Ittixad political movement members masquerading as U.S.C leaders. That is main reason instead of fighting against the Siad barre regime for regime change the U.S.C started a civil war and the total destruction of the State infrastructures in Mogadishu and all over Somalia. The Militia of the U.S.C in Mogadishu  and the S.N.M( in the north) and S.S.D.F in (northeast)  were looting and destroying every system connected with the Somali state and started as a policy to have Clan cased regions-areas.

The other policy of Al-Ittixad is to take over the  economies of all regions of Somalia specially the Trade, Communication Hawilaad/money-remmitences,the education systems starting from the madrasa to the universities. The policy of the Ethiopians to subdivided the Somalis in sub-clans groups which are fighting each other and ruled by Warlords who made the main agenda. The ittixad Movement accepted this model to outsmart the Ethioapians and canceal any accusation that they were controlling the political spheres of the society.

(To bee continued)-next  piece the will be about(1) Organized crimes,(2)How the Ethiopians made the alliance with All_ittixad business cartes.(3)The economic expansion of theAll_ittixad business cartels and their connection with International companies and Organized crimes.

"Pseudo-legal argument to sub-divide the Somali federal Republic.

The new Somali constitution.This new Document has been misquoted and abused although the document itself is "idiosyncratic". In this new document there is not any article saying that foreign powers like IGAD can make or install an administration or the administration of the regions of Somalia have their source of powers in" foreign capitals" or International organizations like IGAD.There is not any article saying the parts of Somalia liberated by the Amisom/Somali armies can have an administration out of the legal jurisdiction of the Somali state.There is one article which says that the " regions so-called states in existence prior to the enactment of the constitution can have their own local statutes and administrations". If the people-citizens of the Region which have been liberated now decide to convene a constituent assembly to choose their transitional leaders or governor this must be done within the framework of the new constitution.In other words this must be convened and done by the legitimate government of the Somali federal Republic. I do not believe the source of " powers' to make legitimate this new authority is out of the jurisdiction of the Somali state.The regions of Hiraan and Bay and Bakol have been made by the Ethiopians using local clans prior the new constitution but this has been ratified/re-nominated by the President of Somalia at that time.The idea that people-citizens of the newly liberated regions can nominate or choose by themselves new administration is not in the constitution and that act is illegal and against the sovereignty ,Unity and territorial integrity of the Somali federal Republic.It looks the right of " self determination of people' sanctioned in the U.N Charter has got a new interpretation by the IGAD representative when we write and explain the Somali situation.The so-called IGAD outfit has re-interpreted that article and made that" all clans and sub-clans of Somalia have the right of self-determination" as we were different different National Communities and not one Somali national community which is from the same ancestry,Language and religion. Already this has been applied in the past illegally in the constitution of so- called break-way States of Somaliland and so-called semi-autonomous region of Puntland from when those Somali Clan, Sub-clans convened in the 90" and in so called Clan assemblies to declare themselves "powers" as there were not already part and parcel of the excising Somali National State and part of the sovereign territory of the Somali Republic.That process is still going on. Now after the enactment of the Somali Federal Constitution there is not any justification to install different institutions on the same Somali territory invoking "pseudo-legal"concepts and infringing on the Somali Republic sovereignty.

Analysis & Comments.

Here is a well though analysis on the failed theoretical concept on Somalia and names of  some so-called "Thinkers" who do not understand nothing about the historical factors and the ones at play in the " so- called perpetual failed" state situat

ion in the Somali Republic. I will add that there have always been an Ethiopian Agenda and Al-ittixad movement Agenda in the destruction of Somalia (from the 80" planned by Menghiste and the Somali  Al-ittixad political movement) and in the sub-sequent institution building of Somali land and Punt land as Building blocks and models for Somalia preplanned by Ethiopia. Professor Menkhaus is not Somali and could not understand the Clan based  culture of the Somali which is biggest political vehicle used by the Ethiopians and Al-Itticad to make their power base among the Somalis and use as clan-based political movement to destroy the country.. Somalis are one ethnic or Clan  group but for historical reasons linked to their survival and subsistence-nomadic  way of life their fought each other for centuries for water and pasture and camel raids with very far Clans or sub-Clan- neighbors.That culture of fighting has been made into folklore and poetry is the backbone of the history of every Clan and sub-clan. Every sub-clan has ingrained in their hitorical mind the wars theiy fought aganist other Somalis.The Anti- Colonialist and before them  the Somali freedom fighters who fought the Ethiopians and the British/Italians  have started the concept of a centralized Somalia as a culture and Nation who speaks the same language and have same ancestry., religion. .The S.Y.L political movement  and the political parties of the north have decided to unite the the Somali speaking sub-Clans of the Horn and  that went against the expansionist plans of the Ethiopian regime of that time which have participated in the Berlin Conference for the scramble of Africa. The Ethiopians knew that Somalia have great deal of Oil and Gas  in their Somali region( region  five of Ethiopia ) and have planned that to get that Oil & Gas  they have to destroy Somali and subjugate them to their hegemony as  a  SUB-DIVIDED MINI-CLAN ENCLAVES BUNTUSTAN BREAK-AWAY Republics.. As a matter of fact in the new Somali constitution Somalia have been subdivided in new States and we have a ready made Confederation of Somali States.The last Somali conference to approve the new constitution the Elders who were there at  the constituent assembly refused to ratify  it.Only after the promise that things will be changed at the next parliament they passed it reluctantly. The Al-ittixad political movement has partecipated in that destruction why they have the agenda to change completely the secular system which was based the Somali republic.Both have used the Clan based political opposition movement to destroy and start a new one based on their ideas and plans.Wait and see.

Destructive Governance Model for Somalia: the case of Prof Ken Menkhaus

www.hiiraan.com

Immediately after the imposition of the Provisional Constitution (PC) establishing a medieval model of governance in Somalia, Prof Ken Menkhaus, scholar and

Comments.Wait and see.

I think the West and the Arab world must do more to help Somalis in general.Somalia in general is hostage to Ethiopia and Al-shabaab-Al-Qaida. A hostage-nation which needs to be helped in liberating themselves.But it needs that in the first phase more technical-know- how and manpower of the fight against those enemies must be deployed.The State structures and institution existing now is made to he

lp those two groups to hold Somalia hostage.From 2004 till know the Ethiopians and IGAD have discouraged a National Somali state and encouraged and made a so- called Clan based Bantustan type administrations in all over Somalia. For the Ethiopians the existence of Al-Shabaab is part of their game plans to have a Somalia "failed State" and a security situation where they are always needed.The destabilization plans going on now in Mogadishu are against the new Change in government which is against the short and long term plans of the Tigre regime of Ethiopia and Al-shabaab.The new President has a lot of enemies in the Horn which would like to make him helpless and give up the fight and have "Business as usual". In other words to accept like some of his predecessors the Plans of Ethiopia and Al-shabaab to sub-divide Somalia and have a safe-haven to Organized crime and International terrorism. Wait and see.

Analyis& Comments.

We must know that the idea of a "iJihadist Islam" which fights other Somalis has not been feasible in Somalia for at least the last five years.We have seen the failed experiment of The Islamic courts and the sub-sequent resurgence and of

Al_shabaab joining Al-Qaida. All failed because the Somalis got tired and understood the "wrong" ideas and plans of this groups. Al-shabaab has used just like the warlords-drug-barons( linked to Ethiopia) to take power and hold to it the concepts of sub-clans,the control of resources( including the local business and its licensing) and the Islamic Religion to woo the youngsters and the idealist. All the use of this concepts including the sacred one of the religion have failed .What we need know is a Somali national State which unites all Somali clan-communities,have a just economic vision where the role of the state as regulator and participation in the economic sector is for the Somali society. Where our religion is not used anymore to kill and acquire power for a Somali group or Jihadist transnational.To implement all those ideas we need a State which is representative of every clan and sub-clan. The international community must help the Somalis to resurrect their pride,nation-hood and stop the meddling of regional powers in controlling the Somali Elites and imposing on them puppet leaders and Warlords who never wont a peaceful and just Somali republic.The international community must help the Somalis to have a strong regulatory and administration for our economy because Organized crimes groups are controlling big chunks of our economy together with the Al-ittixad business cartels( a wahhabi salafist group) which has monopolized the Somali Republic economy and national resources.Wait and see.

Change has came to Somalia? With a surpriise.

    Last night there was a celebration in the small district of Eastleigh,Nairobi Kenya  where the biggest concentration of Somali refugees and business community outside of Mogadishu lives and work. There was a celebration for the election of the new Somali president-elect Mr. Hassan Sheik Mohamud.Who is this man? What interests he represents? How he succeeded in the high wire competition where regional powers- mainly Ethiopia and in small measure Uganda and local business interest( All-Ittixad Business Cartels ),Warlords-Drug barons ,Puppet leaders allied to the Tigre regime were dictating who will win the race?
    Here I will try to answer to this questions. But first I would like to tell that myself have to eat humble pie because I thought the Old regime will be back. What happened?
     Mr. Hassan Sheik is from academia having started a private College of management studies in Mogadishu and having also opened a branch in Punt land region. He was active in the Civil society circles and also came to my knowledge four months ago when I heard him debating on The BBC.Somali service about the infamous Road map and the corruption and mismanagement in the regime of the two Sherifs(the former speaker and the former president).
      In the last six months he started canvassing about every imaginable group and most importantly he had his own party called the party of Peace and Development through which he started a Coalition Building with all the groups who were in the opposition. Prof. Samater who came from the U.S ,Mr. Formajo the former Prime minister and the other presidential contenders including the last incumbent Prime Minister were in agreement to fight together the incumbent President and during the voting sessions to put all their efforts in who has got more votes after the first round.
     Mr. Hassan the president –elect succeeded to garner all the votes necessary in the first round coming second and in the second round all his friends-competitors in the opposition including the incumbent Prime minister choose to support him in the last round against the incumbent president. It was the victory of the Change vote and it was the victory of the people-citizens compared to the Old regime.
     Every body agrees in all the Somalis I myself canvassed that the Game-changer factors in terms of the election were Three: the first is the newly-re-found alliance the between the two sheriffs (the incumbent president and the former notorious Speaker) which was declared last Sunday  has made everybody angered and instead of helping damaged the incumbent president. The notorious former speaker represented everything bad in Somali society and state in other words the corruption, mismanagement, the Tigre influence and most dangerously the monopoly of the Al-Ittixad business cartels all allied to the incumbent president. The other factor was for some clan- communities the words of Mr. Farole of Puntland that if some groups are elected he will secede from Somalia.  All those factors made the MPs linked to the puppet leaders to rebel and support Mr. Hassan who was allied to Farole and do not came from the same region. Another factor is the support the incumbent President has from the Warlords-Drug barons for whom he fought for their re-admission in the List of the nominated parliamentarians which was done yesterday before the presidential election. All this factors made even the parliamentarians linked to the puppet leaders allied to the Tigre rebel and vote in bloc refusing their Whips-warlords-Puppet leaders to vote for the incumbent President. What a historic day. For the first time the parliamentarians chosen by the warlords-puppet leaders decided to vote with their minds and hearts free from those oppressive groups and voted for Change, Somali national interest etc.
      Last but not least the Somali Civil society  and the International Community in Mogadishu have encouraged and nurtured this would be Change and have taken a neutral role when came to choose  the successor of the incumbent president. Who are the winners and the losers? My guess is for the first time the Somalis have chosen democratically a leader who is not under the influence and dictation of the Ethiopian regimes. Secondly a leader who is not blatantly linked to the Al-Ittixad business cartels, Warlords-drug-barons and puppet leaders. Change has come to Somalia. But I suspect all those reactionary forces will try to stop this change and will work very hard to make things difficult for him and the Somalis in general. I believe the international community and Amisom must show strong  commitment to fight against  the enemies of Change in Somalia and that they will stand for what the Somali people have chosen. This new President needs a strong team of like minded technocrats and intellectuals which are not linked to corruption and past mismanagement plus broad-based plans to solve all ills and problems like the issue on institution building in a national federal government .Wait and see.

The next genaration of Tigre-sponsored- government ? Wait and see

                   To tell the truth (political ) about Somalia in this last week has became a very complicated issue.
From 2004 when the first so- called government was installed in Maghabati,Nairobi by the IGAD group sperheeded  and lead by Ethiopia thinghs have been easy to interpretet because there was only one real actor and you followed that lead.What Ethiopia dictated was followed.Period.Now days thinghs look more convoluted and mixed up.More actors-regional and global  have came into play and more game-plans are and scenarios are being sold to the politician and the Somali clan- based political groupings. 
        The political game plan envisaged by the late Meles who was the teal kingmaker of Somali politics has succeeded almost because was executed  by the so- called group of six which was preparing and choosing the new members of parliament and the Clan-based  alliances to elect the new speaker and the new President , First premier.
          My analysis tells me that that plan succesed at least as 65% of the Parliamentarians are linked to the Puppet leaders who are Loyal to the Tigre regime of Ethiopia. and a mere 15%  is so- called Islamist linked to the incumbent President. The Nationalist and Democrats  are maybe 10 members of Parliament but well know and with a fiery stand on Somali issiues.The rest is opportunistic groups from every clans which will follow  the winning groups.
           At that point still things were looking and  could be understood and interpreted in the Old way Fashion and  the plans of the Tigre -sponsored puppet leaders was winning.But came the rejection of the Warlords- drug barons in the lists of the new parliament  and the puppet leaders looking  panicking and confused.There is the suspicion within the Warlords groups that the Tire regime is dumping some of them and retaining only the puppet Leaders. For the Ethiopians the Warlords maybe have became too  cumbersome and a dangerous political alliance.But they are retaining they strong alliance with the former speaker and the regional president of Puntland: this two are the real representative of the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia now in Somali politics. The incumbent president was left alone and that was one of the reasons him and his competitor the incumbent Prime minister went to the funerals of Meles in the middle of the presidential election to seek the approval and support of the Tigre regime.
          If you follow the the old scenario the new speaker has been elected by the alliance of some clans allied to the puppet leaders and other against them.The latest is the the new speaker has carved for himself a political space and would like to dethrone the Old speaker from which are the same sub-Clans and political group.Could it be true?

          The main contenders of the presidential election which would be held tomorrow  are from my point of view: the incumbent prime Minister,The incumbent President and the former Prime Minister Mr. Formajo and two new contenders in the name of a professor Samantar and Mr. Badiyow a declared brotherhood- Islamist with nationalist credentials.The first two enjoyed the support of the Tigre regime in the last three years and my opinion is the Addis-abeba  regime will stand by one of them. Mr. Formajo who is liked by most Somalis and started the current change in Somalia is hated by the Tigre because he doers not accept the sub-division of Somalia in  a Confederate State.
      The latest in Eastleigh is the former Speaker has asked Mr. Formajo and Abdiweli the incumbent premier that if they wont the votes of his regions-Clans they must promise the amnesty from prosecution for him and the warlords-drug barons. The only new story is if the new Speaker will stand for a change or his Clans- mate and those of the North west members of Parliament will follow the lead of the puppet Leaders linked to the Ethiopians. All other MPS are strong supporters of the President or the Prime minister.Wait and see.

New MP'S ? Maybe a new Era? WAit and see.

                   New MP’s ? Maybe a new Era? 

           Last week was a very different week because a new Somali Parliament was inaugurated on the 20 of August and all news was on  the death of the PM of Ethiopia who was the real Ruler of the Somali Republic. We all know that Somalia has been “  a perpetual failed State” “run by puppet Leaders and Warlords-Drug-barons” for the last twenty years and this thanks to the Ethiopian regimes of Menghiste and Meles Zenawi and the Somali- Wahhabi-Salafist Movement of Al-Ittixad Political movement who later became the I.C.U/Al-Shabaab and its ally The Al-Ittixad business Cartels.

       I will start with the Death of Meles.Let me say more to the Ethiopian Establishment  and Tigre Elites who Rule that country  this was a shock and loss to the Somali Puppet Leaders of Somaliland,Puntland and the TFG incumbent politicians of Mogadishu specially the Incumbent president and the Former speaker of Parliament till August 20.Why? Mr. Meles was the most powerfull politician of the Region and was the one who dictated where the Somali Agenda was going and where will go. Who will be the next president of Somalia and the next Speaker and Prime Minister. He was the man who planned and made implemented the new Somali Constitution ( a concotations of norms which will make Somalia a Confederal State) through the “Somali puppet leaders” and to give you an example made a so-called state a town with less than 5.000 people in the central regions. There was a game plan by the Tigre regime of Ethiopia on who will be the next members of Somali Parliament. The demise of Meles was a Game –Changer at least for some parts.

          Another example of how the late Meles was influencing the Somali Politics was how in Somali talk shows he is  mentioned and there is even a controversy on Who sends a condolences and if that is un-Islamic and against the Somalis. What uproar..

      The other factor which influenced the composition of the Members of the parliament is for the first time the international community which is the paymaster of the Somali TFG , AMISOM and so-called  Somali regional States has requested and got a vetting process in the selection of new MP’s. This new vetting method has denied the Warlords-Drug-barons to be anymore member’s of Somali parliament, some of the Al-Ittixad business Cartels representative and puppet parliamentarians linked to Ethiopia.

       The Somali people-citizens rejoiced for this new bold move which was meant to improve the quality of the parliament and the process to have accountability for the Somali-citizens. Things are not so easy in Somalia. The incumbent president, the former Speaker who are the best allies of the Al-Ittixad business cartels, Warlords-drug barons got so angered that they started threatening the Somalis ,the International community and as usual they manipulated those UNPOS and Amisom representative to tell the world and their Countries namely Uganda that with out the warlords,Al-Ittixad representative and this pro-Ethiopian candidates to be members of parliament  there will be Chaos  and back to civil-wars.

           This warlords-drug-barons which directed,started and fomented the Somali civil wars from 1991 were the individuals the incumbent president was fighting for. Anyway Mr. Mahiga and officers of Amisom have pushed the international community to relent on the Rules and maybe admit as members some criminals-warlords and friends of the incumbent President who are former members of I.C.U allied to al-Shabaab. As  I know from yesterday my estimate is the pro-Ethiopian groups have got 20% to 30% of the members and the all_ittixad almost 15% to 20% of the total members of the parliament with at least 36 members remaining to be nominated.

If we compare to the parliament of Mbaghati, Nairobi of 2004 and the following compromise- parliament of 2009 there is a reasonable change but nobody can be sure till know if they will be influenced of the Old politics of following the Agendas of the All-Ittixad and warlords-Drug-barons,pro-Ethiopians puppet leaders. There are some more enghlitened, intellectuals and democratic individuals than previous parliaments but we still do not know if they will be corrupted and or stand for the rights of Somali people-citizens and the Unity of the Somali Republic.

          Within the selection of the Parliament there was going on the game of the election of the future president and Speaker. The type of the members of the Parliament would decide what type of leaders we will have and what direction the Somali  national politics will take. Already is started the campaigning for the speaker and that  of the President and ugly tactics of Fear-mongering  are being used like if I am not elected there will not be any Somali political process  and Amisom will not be in Mogadishu to fight al-Shabaab. This fear mongering tactics are from the incumbent president, former speaker and the Old pro-Ethiopian puppet leaders and their allies the Warlords-drug barons.

 They are afraid of the new crop of Leaders who are from the Diaspora which have plans to Change the old Status quo and have a Somali not anymore sub-divided in mini-clan enclaves to be  recognized as would be Sovereign States under a new Confedarate State envisioned by the so-called new constitution.

         There is a fierce political warfare going on in Mogadishu at this moment between those who would like to have a new dawn for the Somali Republic and the Somali –people citizens and those of the Old Guard which would like to have the Old status Quo. Who will win? Wait and see.

Mo Farah of GB wins,President Sherif of Somalia Loses.Wait and see.

Mo Farah of GB wins,President Sherif of Somalia Loses.Wait and see.

                       Last Saturday was a historic night for Somalis living in Nairobi,Eastleigh the second capital (economically) of the Somali diaspora. But let me  first explain the connection between  Mo Farah  the Somali- Briton who won the 10.000 M race on Saturday night and the so-called president of the Somali Republic Sharif Ahmed.. Mr. Mo Farah is born  in Mogadishu and the other is president of the Somali republic which has as a capital the City of Mogadishu. One has so meticulously planned his  training and race and has won with ease in the face of all those east African runners specially the Ethiopians which thought they "run the show" for very long time.The other has been manipulated by a Cabala of Somali  politicians ( including his own staff) and  came to  for presidential race with out all the armory, tricks and game plan necessary to-win and has a remote control the Ethiopian-Tigre  regime  One was in London with a cheering, ecstatic  crowd , the other sleeping a sleepless night in a Nairobi hotel after meeting Hillary Clinton the U.S secretary of State and his own friends in the "Gang of Six" who revolted against his political plans.One was a winner the other a loser at lest for the "Time being"..There there ends the comparisons.

                  In Somalia we are at the last gasps of a  regime which have for at least technically  governed Somalia from 2004 and  with the blessing and " nominations as puppet leaders" by the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia with the background support of IGAD the regional Authority.. A lot of water has passed under the bridge and  the new "Game Plan" of the Tigre Regime and his allies in the region and Globally do not plan to have as Presdent Mr. Sherif Ahmed the incumbent  came August 20 -2012 when will be held the election of the new President of Somalia.Why? Why not? What has happened?
           Mr. Sherif has followed at length all the suggestions and political "Road map" of the Regional actors and he accepted and promoted the subdivision of Somalia in Beak-away republics . First he de facto  recognized as  an  autonomous state at par with the Somali republic the region of Puntland by permitting them to sit at the same table and signing those "game-plans" called the Roadmap and the Garowe agreements. But more significantly  is his  the meeting with Mr. Silanyo of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland  and signing of a memo as equal partners like two different States.. Mr. Silanyo is another  "puppet leader propped up" by the Tigre Regime whose main Agenda is to have a new Republic carved up in the North West of Somalia and sell its Gas and Oil resources to China to have the recognition as a Sovereign  State.What a mess the Sheriff has made at  all in the hope that by following the Agendas of the Tigre regime of Ethiopia allied to China and Iran he will be promoted to have  another four years at the helm of Somalia.More to that  he co-signed and accepted a new so- called constitution which will make Somalia a con- federation of states  all equal,Clan-enclaves and each one under the hegemony of the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia , China, and Iran.( for background information see my old comments and opinions-analysis from October 2011.(

The main reasons the Somali republic whose-people-citizens speak  the same language- Somali which  have the same culture-Somali, and same ancestry-Somali but clan based as traditions and culture requires  is to be subdivided is  to take over its Oil and gas resources. And to do this the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia has for a very long time planned and executed  a strategy which the Somali Republic  will-be sub-divided in  mini-Clan - enclaves all new Republics. The New so- called Constitution has as  legal basis  that strategy..You will ask why not have one Somalia under the hegemony of  Ethiopia? If you have one Somalia the Oil and Gas resources of the Somalis  which are the  the main reasons Somalia is being subdivided cannot be under the Hegemony of Ethiopia and its allies mainly China and Iran.. From the 40 '  50 " 60" American and British companies have explored  and got concessions( last from the Siad Barre regime) of  almost all Somali inhabited territories of East Africa including the Ethiopian region( Halie Selassie time) inhabited by the Somali-speaking called region five which is situated on the East side of the Republic of Ethiopia. First the Ethiopian-Tigre  regime would like to control the National resources( Oil and gas) of the Somali Republic and secondly they would like to exploit with out giving the due rights( on any Oil and Gas resources exploitation) the inhabitant-people citizens  of region five of Ethiopia. To have all this plans the Tigre must have a sub-divided Somalia in Clan- enclaves new republics and control all the political systems  of the Somali Republic in alliance with domestic power brokers like  the Somali All-ittixad Business Cartels and Somali puppet leaders/Warlords-Drug-barons.
                  To came back to my main topic the Tigre regime does not see the incumbent President Sheriff be fitting in their plans because he is not from Puntland and Somaliland and cannot be entrusted with the strategic game to have Somalia sub-divided without any fuss or controversy from the international  community. The Tigre need a President who can be said he will execute  those plans and tell the whole world that is the way the Somalis would like to live and chosen by them democratically.. Could the Tigre succeed another time in their game Plan? Wait and see..

                       Last Saturday was a historic night for Somalis living in Nairobi,Eastleigh the second capital (economically) of the Somali diaspora. But let me  first explain the connection between  Mo Farah  the Somali- Briton who won the 10.000 M race on Saturday night and the so-called president of the Somali Republic Sharif Ahmed.. Mr. Mo Farah is born  in Mogadishu and the other is president of the Somali republic which has as a capital the City of Mogadishu. One has so meticulously planned his  training and race and has won with ease in the face of all those east African runners specially the Ethiopians which thought they "run the show" for very long time.The other has been manipulated by a Cabala of Somali  politicians ( including his own staff) and  came to  for presidential race with out all the armory, tricks and game plan necessary to-win. One was in London with a cheering, ecstatic  crowd , the other sleeping a sleepless night in a Nairobi hotel after meeting Hillary Clinton the U.S secretary of State and his own friends in the "Gang of Six" who revolted against his political plans.One was a winner the other a loser at lest for the "Time being".

                  In Somalia we are at the last gasps of a  regime which have for at least technically  governed Somalia from 2004 and  with the blessing and " nomination as puppet leader" by the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia with the background support of IGAD the regional Authority.. A lot of water has passed under the bridge and  the new "Game Plan" of the Tigre Regime and his allies in the region and Globally do not plan to have as Presdent Mr. Sherif Ahmed the incumbent  came August 20 -2012 when will be hold the election of the new President of Somalia.Why? Why not? What has happened?
           Mr. Sherif has followed at length all the suggestions and political "Road map" of the Regional actors and he accepted and promoted the subdivision of Somalia in Beak-away republics . First he de facto  recognized as  an  autonomous state at par with the Somali republic the region of Puntland by permitting them to sit at the same table and signing those "game-plans" called the Roadmap and the Garowe agreements. But more significantly  is the meeting with Mr. Silanyo of the self-declared Republic of Somaliland  another "puppet leader propped up" by the Tigre Regime whose main Agenda is to have a new Republic carved up in the north west of Somalia and sell its Gas and Oil resources to China to have the recognition as a Sovereign  State.What a mess the Sheriff has made all in the hope that by following the Agendas of the Tigre regime of Ethiopia allied to China and Iran he will be promote to have  another four years at the helm of Somalia.More to that  he co-signed and accepted a new so- called constitution which will make Somalia a con- federation of states  all equal,Clan-enclaves and each one under the hegemonic of the Tigre Regime of Ethipia and China,Iran.

The main reasons the Somali republic whose-people-citizens speak  the same language- Somali, have the same culture-Somali, and same ancestry-Somali but clan based as traditions and culture requires  is to take over its Oil and gas resources. And to do this the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia has for a very long time planned and executed  a startegy which the Somali Republic  will-be sub-divided in  mini-Clan - enclaves all new Republics. The New so- called Constitution has as  legal base that strategy..You will ask why not have one Somalia under the hegemony of  Ethiopia? If you have one Somalia the Oil and Gas resources of the Somalis  which are the  the main reasons Somalia is being subdivided cannot be under the Hegemony of Ethiopia and its allies mainly China and Iran.. From the 40 '  50 " 60" American and British companies have explored  and got concessions of  almost all Somali inhabited territories of East Africa including the Ethiopian region inhabited by the Somali-speaking called region five which is situated on the East side of the Republic of Ethiopia. First the Ethiopian-Tigre  regime would like to control the National resources( Oil and gas) of the Somali Republic and secondly they would like to exploit with out giving the due rights( on any Oil and Gas resources exploitation) the inhabitant-people citizens  of region five of Ethiopia. To have all this plans the Tigre must have a sub-divided Somalia in Clan- enclaves new republics and control all the political systems  of the Somali Republic in alliance with domestic power brokers like  the Somali All-ittixad Business cartels and Somali puppet leaders/Warlords-Drug-barons.
                  To came back to my main topic the Tigre regime does not see the incumbent President Sherrif fitting in their plans because he is not from Puntland and Somaliland and cannot be entrusted with the strategic game to have Somalia sub-divided without any fuss or controversy from the internalization community. The Tigre need a President who can be said he will execute  those plans and tell the whole world that is the way Somalis would like to live and chosen by them democratically.. Could the Tigre succed another time in their game Plan? Wait and see..

Somalia as Confederate state with five new Sovreign States..

 The new Somali constitution by Meles / Farole and “Gang of Six” to make a Confederate  State of Somalia without the Will and Consent of the people-citizens.

             This comment-article will be short and will look only at the political side and not at the unconstitutionally of this document and will not analyze in detail the articles of the now” notorious” new constitution. I am still preparing one by one the articles and the “contradictory” meaning they give to this document and legalize a “would be” Confederate State of Somalia without the knowledge and consent of the Somali-People-Citizens.

What is all About the Agenda behind this new Constitution?

I will not repeat myself bit by bit (please go to my site wardigley.blogspot.com to know how this things have evolved historically and the influence of Ethiopia and China) but only the last part of the deception to have this document.

For the last six  months the “notorious” Gang of six which are made of the president of the Republic of Somalia, the Speaker of the Somali Parliament, The self-declared president of Puntland,the self-declared president of Galmudug and an outfit made by the Ethiopians called Sunna-Wal-Jaamaca.Plus the the so called  technocrat PM of Somalia.

       

              This groups with their master Mr.Meles Zenawi have hatched the conclusion of a political game plan in which the Somali people citizens and the International community will be deceived and at the   End of a so-called process called Road map and the “New Constitution” they will succeed in their more than  two decades long  plan of having Somalia sub-divided in breakaway republics. How?

           Mr. Farole who was the leading actor for the cabala and Meles in the matters of the subdivision will play very carefully this in all the so-called negotiations of the so-called constitution between the “Gang of six” for domestic and international consumption. Just to give you an example three months ago after a meeting by the Gang of Six the headline in all international news were the Somali leaders agree on a federal System. First of all you can see from the beginning the discourse and narrative of Constitution making process was changed and given the Rights of the people to this So-called Gang of six. But we all know Nobody can change the Institutions of the Republic, the Borders, the Sovereignty and Unity and how the Somali people-citizens have decided their Republic to be with out their Will in a free and fair referendum.

     Mr. Mahiga who was the only one not part of the Gang of six was used( or maybe I have always believed was part of the problem?) as the man to tell the international community that every thing was going well and there was a hitch here and there and it will be smoothed before August 2012.The Idea was to arrive close to that date when nobody can do anything about this and it will be fait comply  and everybody accept  the will of the people of the Constituent assembly. In reality every thing is so choreographed by the Gang of Six of Meles and the Somali –people citizen “have not got any voice in the whole Saga”.

This so called  “New Constitution” was released  at least five days ago to the Somali Community elders and on the spot  some of them have found out how things were bad in the “document” and the Ultimate agenda was to sign from this elders the acceptance of the sub-division of the Somali republic. The words of the articles  “ the federal member states” of the Federal Republic of Somalia mean the as Mr. Farole has explained different times” that Somalia will be made of a Confederate State in which all member states are equal”. This cammuflage to use this meaning less of words of federal in different times is part of the game.Secondly there are articles in which the States decide by themselves what they like to do as a sovereign entities and others articles were there is an  interstate  Commisssion Between Sovraign states like a Confederation. But the most compelling part is the  article on the concept of Federalism in the new Constitution: you can see here the idea is to have a Confederal System but still cannot be say out and loudly. There is a big “ confusion “ and deceit in this document and a Constitution is about” basic rules concerning decision making,rights,and the Distribution of Authority in a Political system”. Here I quoted Mr. Gabriel Almond.

   

        If  this document is made to pass Somalia will have another 10 years of wars and strive because no clan-community will accept the political strategy envisaged by meles /China and his Puppet leaders namely the Gang of Six. One of my next articles will try to depict the new Scenarios  the “ new clan wars in the “Horn of Africa” against the hegemony of Ethiopia and its allies. Wait and see.

New Currency? New scam to Steal and Bribe.

The Somali president does not have the powers to decree by himself,order the printing of New Currency or Commission new currency.This are tasks of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance.After the Council of Ministers have approved must be made Law by the Somali parliament.Its quite a process in which even we will need the input of the Somali Central Bank.In other words the council of Ministers and the Parliament have the last word on Printing,commissioning and decrying of new currency for the Somali Republic.May I add  there is not any functioning,reliable Central Bank and there are not clear cut Laws that will govern the administration of new currency.The President behaves like a Dictator who is thinking of ways to steal the National coffers and plunder the Somali economy with not legalized and transparent Acts by the government and with out the consent of The Parliament and the executive in charge of the economy.. I suspect the President would like to bribe with the new Currencies for the election of the new legislators and his own election came August 2012..I do not see any other reasons for his rush to a printing Company in Sudan at this conjecture of time.We also have the bad precedent that this same company was used by the Notorious Speaker Mr. Sheriff Hassan when he was the Minister of Finance at Mr. Sharmarke Premiership in 2009-2010 and printed billions of Somali shillings without any accountability. .Most important after the London Conference the Somali government have signed an agreement with the U.N and international community on financial matters in which Somalia has a partner when it came to financial issues .Which means they cannot take decisions alone on financial issues .What is going on? Why even at the end of his transition the President is behaving like an African dictator who thinks he has only"subjects" not people-citizen and Somalia as his homestead.Wait and see.

"Wishful Thinking by the West.Wait and see.

I would like to share the thoughts of the U.K ambassador with you and I hope everybody will comment.For me its "All Wishful Thinking " what the ambassador is saying.In Somali we say 'fari kama Qodna" which means there is still a lot to do in idiomatic way or its just the beginning. To make short my comment there is an "Established Regimes" with its own Al-ittixad business Cartels,"puppet leaders".warlords-drug-barons and military systems( intelligence,immigration and police force ) all loyal to the Powers running the show and allied to the Meles regime of Ethiopia..The problems of Somalia its not only Al-Shabaab-maybe the number one enemy-but all this other groups are part of the problem and would never(?)r accept a democratic,transparent and accountable State in Somalia.A state where the Rule of the Law is supreme and the people elects and chooses its own leaders.This emphasis on the transition is part of the deceiving game of this groups why they will came back and Rule after August and will continue to exploit and infringe on the basic rights of the Somali people citizens.Unless this groups face what we call " International accountability" for their crimes against humanity and all the money and assets they stashed in Nairobi and Dubai is frozen/blocked and given back to the Somali people things will not change.This ruling/cliques/ elites who have the power in Hargheisa,Mogadishu and Garowe have the political support and assistance of regional powers , some Big powers and have unconditional political alliance with Ethiopia.They go to meetings for the last twenty years and have seen of all colors and deceived everybody posing as representative of Somali clan/communities and in general Somali people-citizens.Like every dominant group for a very long time they do not believe they could be replaced and they make/ believe the 'masses" that they are the "only one" doing their Clan or sub-clans interests.They have reverted to use the Old methods of the Siad Barre regime that only loyalty to them is what is needed from the Bureaucracy and the Security services to be promoted and enrich themselves. By bringing a New Constitution is what the world is believing will change things in Somalia.They are totally mistaken and this Regime of Warlords-drug barons,Puppet leaders and Al-Ittixad business Cartels is not worried at all about this" so-called Constitutional order." I will wait after August to see the world came to realize that the fight against Al-shabaab is the easiest part of the "liberation of Somalia" and the hard part is this anti-democratic forces which are themselves allied to Salafist/Jihadsit.Wait and see.

How to steal Somali National resources like OIL &GAS.

Somalis do not know but their elites know it.Dubai is where almost all   the money stolen by Somali "puppet ;leaders and all-Ittixad business cartels money  is stashed and laundered.This week it hosted a so- called meeting between the President of Somalia and the president of so-called Somali land  where they signed an agreement.Here  is my enlightened opinion..

This so-called agreement is illegal and unconstitutional.There is not in the world any State called Somaliland or any president of it recognized by the Somali Republic.My opinion is what has been cooked in Dubay will not hold for legal reasons and political reasons.The Clans of Somalia cannot have anyone of its own , its so-called beak-away State and the so called president of Somalia Mr. Sharif Ahmed do not have any authority in any legal means to recognize So- called Somaliland. Both Leaders are playing hidden agendas which only Meles has supported all this years but will fail and fail badly.The Meles regime has an hegemonic agenda but more dangerously the Al-Ittixad business Cartels of so-called Somaliland and South-central Somalia namely Mogadishu are in Agreement with the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia. To subdivide Somalia under the Hegemony of Ethiopia and have the All_ittixad Business Cartels groups control the economies of both regions of Somalia.This "puppet leaders" of Somaliland and Mogadishu-TFG do not care about the National interest of Somali Nation-State and its people-citizens as whole.Every group controls its spate of territory and economies , its political apparatus for the benefit of a minority of clans or a Clan.In that way the Ethiopian hegemony is preserved and the All-Ittixad business cartels would control the economies of both territories with their Companies/Cartels based on Clan groups.More to this both Oligarchies of Somaliland and TFG-Mogadishu have their own agendas with China on Oil & Gas and the sub-division is better for them to control this resources in a private way.The other issues is dividing the Somalis you can Rule on them better because every Clan will be suspicious and will defend a new Type of nation-hood based on Clan.My conclusion is every Somali who cares about the Somali nation must oppose this Sinister agenda of the All-ittixad business cartels and the Tigre regime of Ethiopia.Wait and see.

Historic agreement paves way for end to Somali bloodshed

Miscellaneous:China&Russia,British betrayal &Tigre recolonization.

Lat night I remembered that we have to tell the Ethiopians and the China governments that in the U.N Charter there is the right of self determination of people but NOT for CLANS like in Somalia.Those governments I mentioned above I suspect they are supporting that kind of dreamlike project which do not have any legal basis.State-Nations are based on the concept of the self-determination of its people to have their own Nation and self Rule for their own people.In Somalia we are of the same people-Somalis,same language-Somali ,same culture-Somali and same Religion-Islam.There fore I do not see how we can use the right of self determination unless there is a new school of thought started By Meles based on the concept of self-determination for Somali Clans.This Idea of every Somali Clan having its own so-called State is a Project of the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia in which Somalis see other Somali Clans as their first enemies and the Ethiopians as their primary friends-brothers.This animosity and hatred is made between Clans and regions of Somalia for the simple reasons of having Somalia sub-divided in Mini-clan-enclaves and use their national resources of OIL and Gas to dominate them. Such states like China,Iran,Russia and France are part of the project being allied to the Regime of  Meles.Unfortunately my Somali brothers are focused only in this internal wars and in the subdivision of their Motherland.Wait and see.


By Law there are not" two" presidents t in Somalia but just one.The British government by encouraging and sponsoring such kind of baseless Statements by " Somali Puppet" Leaders in Mogadishu and Hargeysa are infringing on the Basic rights of the Somali people-citizens to choose their destiny and have their own nation-State.No Law have till now emended the Act of Union of 1961 and no Referendum has been nae to ask l all Somali people if they like their Beloved Country dismembered and made small entities controlled by the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia..The Ethiopian regime have planned and executed the sub-division of Somalia in Clan enclaves so- called break -away Republics from early 1992. That is the reason of the existence of the so-called State of Somali land. Those inept and corrupt " puppet leaders " in Mogadishu which are not also legitimate do not have the Right to recognize or meet any so-called president of so-called Somali land. The Somali People-citizens must be consulted even in this period and not any action can be taken in this "transitional period" which would jeopardize The Unity, territorial integrity and Sovereignty of the Somali Republic.Even if Mr. Silanyo has signed last year a Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese Government on the Oil reserves of the Nugaal Region Valley , Awdal Region .But those " puppet Leaders of Mogadishu do not have any rights to accept and appease those criminal Agendas which uses Oil as a means to sub-divide Somalia.Wait and see.

The Tigre regime have now shown the naked truth about their stay in Somalia.They will stay " in other words how they like and where they like".Period.This also shows the weakness of the Western powers which are paying for Amisom army which is also in Somalia and how the East African governments and African Union are power less when it came to the Hegemony of Ethiopia..The Somali Clan- communities do not like The Ethiopians army or its hegemonic policies but are made hostage to them by " puppet leaders" which some are afraid their time in power is coming to the end.Therefore the Tigre army must be there to propel its hegemonic project about Somalia.When there is not any Ethiopian Army even Al-Shabaab looses the "catalyst "factor which is the Ethiopians army.Waitb and see.

Ethiopia says troops to stay longer in Somalia

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopia plans to keep its troops in Somalia until the Horn of Africa country ratifies a constitution and its military is able to fend off militant threats on its own, an official said on Friday, signalling a change in policy.

Finally the U.S Flexes its Muscles for the Somali Poeple-Citizens.

Last week the Government of the United states has finally came out of the sit in the sidelines of Somali issues and they have shown they are the only power which can have a "big" stick for  the solution of the Somali long-time  nightmare.
The Istanbul resolutions have reiterated the long held international stand that the Somali sovereignty ,territorial integrity and Unity are inviolable( therefore putting for the time being things in clear perspective) but has not made any declaration on how to end the long Rule of the Somali "puppet leaders" and bring to conclusion the fight against Al-Shabaab.The three things the U.S have done in the last week are some how Historical: a) going to Mogadishu,b) Putting the Al-shabaab terror group leadership in reward scheme for whoever gets information on them, c) Telling the warlord-drug-barons and" puppet Leaders' that if they obstruct the Somali "Regime change"of August 2012  they will have their accounts frozen as a reward. Anyway the money owned by this warlords-drug-barons and Somali "puppet leaders" is stolen ,ill-gotten wealth from the Somali state and people.

Lets start with the visit.By going to Mogadishu Mr.Carson the U.S "boss" for Africa has shown the  world the geopolitical interest of the U.S for Somalia and how they are serious, committed  on Somali issues.Miss Frazier has visited Mr. Abdullahi Yusuf the president of Somalia  at that time in 2006-2007 time in Baidowa(Central  -west regions) but nobody came to Mogadishu all this years except a black-American senator some years ago. Its true that the U.S was the biggest donor in the Somali scene in relief / humanitarian aid plus paying for the African contingent Amisom  but that was not enough when the  Somali Political Agenda was set in a quasi-colonial mode by the regional powers specially the Ethiopian regime of Meles Zenawi.
By going to Mogadishu directly and stating their  aim to the Somali-people citizens the U.S can bring hope to  Somalia.Secondly by putting money on the head of the most powerful leaders of the terror group Al-shabaab  the U.S have shown that they are the only country which have the "Big stick" and can assist in concrete ways the demise and defeat of  this Jihadist  groups. But we must be careful  in thinking the Salafist/Jihadist Al-Shabaab  are the only group which are anti-democratic and against the Rule of law and participatory democracy.There are also the All-Ittixad business cartels,Warlords-drug-barons and the Puppet leaders  who have been allied to Al-Shabaaab for a very long time and still control the economy and the Political scene.
The other big change in U.S politics is going out clearly against the spoilers which we all know are the warlords-drug-barons and the "puppet leaders " who have been installed by the Ethiopian regime of Meles .By stating clearly  that if this groups obstruct the Somali political process geared toward a New Constitution and a "'Regime change" their Banks accounts will be frozen it was a Big Knock Out for those groups. This criminal groups "purporting" to be politicians and administrators of Somalia have amassed  a vast amounts of Money( together with the Al-ttixad business cartels my estimate is about between 4- to 6 billions U.S Dollars) which is deposited in countries where the Rule of Law protects them and they are in the same time having Hostage the Somali people-citizens rights to have rule of law and Democracy in Somalia.
I believe by having International accountability for this criminal gangs is the only way the Somali people can be saved from the continuous Failed State status and they can choose the regime and individuals they would like to ruled upon.Some steps have been taken forward but we can never think the game is over or we are half  the road  but this maybe is the first big  salvos in the long struggle to have Somali people-citizens  rights restored and the Re-establishment of a viable Somali Republic State.Wait and see.
