				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid--3c5b842-c405-2789-4da9-d956b7109d08" style="text-align: justify;">What the President of Mogadishu’s arrogant and idiotic speech did to the feelings of the people of Somaliland on the occasion of the commemoration of May 18th 1991 was not only offensive and a denial of the crimes committed by the Mogadidhu regime of Mr. Barre in which he is the inheritor, it was and insult to injury, it was an attack against Somaliland and what Somaliland stands for.<a href="http://halbeegnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ibrahim-mead.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-31592" alt="ibrahim mead" src="http://halbeegnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ibrahim-mead.jpg" width="252" height="200" /></a></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Somaliland is honor bound and had a history of respecting others but she never takes lightly to be offended from any one. She furiously defends her dignity, justice and her rights with what ever this may cost her in blood and treasure Defeating Siyad Barre’s genocidal regime and the supporters of that demonic enterprise was the latest historic event and a lesson to learn.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">What made that possible for Somaliland was two things and only two things, and those two things were UNITY of her people and the TRUST OF ALLAH. Now Somaliland lost the one plus one! She lost both! (Mr. Siilanyo’s administration is accountable on that) That is why the president of Mogadishu, foolishly but deliberately disrespected, demagogued and demeaned the two most sensitive aspects in the Somaliland blood. Those are:</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">a) Denial of the genocide against the Somaliland people.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">b) Denial of the ransacking and robbery of the treasure of the people of Somaliland</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">c) Denial of Somaliland’s right of self determination, to reinstitute her (lost) 1960 government in her internationally marked territory.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Let it be clear to the president of Mogadishu and to any one else for this matter that No one has the right to deny Somaliland’s rights. It is the rightful determination of the people of Somaliland who survived from Mogadishu’s genocide, to reinstitute their1960 government</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Why at this time the unelected, foreign established President of Mogadishu, dared to demean and disrespect the rights of the survivors of Somalia’s genocidal regime of Siyad Barre in Mogadihu!? The answer is simple:</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">1) It is because of the failed foreign policy of Somaliland government who put her self with Mr. Hassan and likes in a cage forgetting the history</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">2) Somaliland administration’s double talk and wavering tactics with no focus on the ball</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">3) The ineptness of the government of Somaliland in its core.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">It is a collective understanding that Siilanyo’s administration which had no vision for Somaliland has divided the people and the country and that encouraged the Mogadishu entity to claim Somaliland in the most disrespect way imaginable<br />
When your enemy senses and sees that Somaliland it self is demeaning those who found and founded the 2nd Republic of Somaliland, then Somaliland cleared for the enemy to demagogue her, to demean her, disrespect her and deny her rights as President Hassan of Mogadishu did on the same day Somaliland was commemorating and remembering 18th may 1991, the independence of the Republic of Somaliland.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">What deserves to point out is that no government official responded to Mr. Hassan of Mogadishu’s naked attach against the people of Somaliland as of this writing.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The power of unity is known to all of us. But we often seem to forget it.</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
We still remember the story from our childhood, where an old man was worried about his sons who were always quarreling among themselves. In order to teach them a lesson he ask them to break a bundle of sticks tied together. Obviously none of them could. And when the bundle was untied they were able to break each stick easily enough.<br />
Antoine de Saint said,” Only from the alliance of the one working with and through the other, are great things born” that emphasizes the power of unity especially when you put your trust in Allah and with the unity of your people, the thing and the only thing  that leads the honest leader to the right path.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Does any one think that it is possible to achieve great things without unity? I don’t know if the Siilanyo administration believes other wise but to me the answer is NO!</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Unity plays the most important role, so it is the responsibility of a leader to maintain unity if he really wishes to be a successful leader.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Did Mr. Siilanyo maintain the unity of the nation or did he in fact disseminate it into the lowest levels ever seen!? It is collectively believed that he did the later and in a big way! However this is what he said in 18 May celebrations:</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Brothers, what makes every nation great are his people. What builds a country, are his people. These virtues happen only when the people are united for their country.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“Walalayaal waddan kasta waxa wax ka dhiga dadkiisa, waxaa horumar gaadhsiisa ummadiisa, waddan wuxuu taabbo-galaa oo horumar ku talaabsadaa marks dadkiisu u wada ,iskuudoobnadaan unamidoobaan Qaranimada”</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">The president preached unity but did he practiced it? The simple answer to this in NO! Mr. President, unite your people if you want to defeat the second generation enemy and to do that let the divisive elements in you inner circle go. This may seem a strange advice from a strange party but it is a good advice!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion:</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">“So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth” (Baha’u’llah)</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">There is unity with someone else as well that will play a much bigger role if you believe that. It is so because this someone else is a mystifying partner in your success or failure that partner is your God, provide you do things in the Godly way, in the right way.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">It is said that God plus one is majority. You have the support of the Almighty, only when you are united with him. That means believing in Him and doing the right thing.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
How do you unite with this Higher Consciousness? You do so by having faith with him and with your people who trust you with their country and once you unite with God, It is on Him to see that you succeed in accomplishing the duties entrusted on you. So multiply your potential and insure your success by unleashing the Power of Unity. The unity of your people and the unity with your God is the answer. Always remember, God plus (the people and the government as one) one is majority. (yadullaahi  macal jamaaca. Wa man yumin billaahi fa huwa hasbuhu)</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Peace and prayers</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ibrahim Mead</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><i>Somaliland: AU Snores While EU Runs </i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><i>(first printed in 2007 in Kenyan newspapers)</i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>By Jamal Ali Hussein</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It was last January 28 when I boarded my plane from Newyork to London on my way to South Africa. I was reading the <i>Financial Times</i> when I noticed an article about Kosovo declaring statehood, and how the European Union (EU) is setting the stage for Kosovo to be an internationally recognized State.<a href="http://halbeegnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jamal-ali-husien.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-31588" alt="jamal ali husien" src="http://halbeegnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/jamal-ali-husien.jpg" width="401" height="289" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">I could not help asking myself questions like why the African Union (AU) is not playing the same role on my birthplace of Somaliland? On May 18, Somaliland Republic (former British Somaliland) celebrated 16 years of self-rule and thriving democracy since it has decided to re-instate its sovereignty from Somalia after the fall of Siyad Barre’s regime in 1991.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">As a Somalilander, who ran away from Barre’s atrocities as a young man in the late 1980s and settled in the United States, I had mixed feelings as I saw my people celebrate the 16 th anniversary of Somaliland’s birth. On the one hand, I was extremely proud of the people of Somaliland, and its leaders for what they have been able to achieve for the past 16 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, I am less excited and amazed by lack of AU’s role in leading the way to promote Somaliland’s cause by sending a strong signal to other African countries that they do care and reward peace, stability and democracy (acknowledging people’s choice).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is very clear why EU is very serious about the status of Kosovo. EU is planning to avoid the risk of war and violence that would again destabilize the Balkan region. The million-dollar <a title="Click to Continue &gt; by Text-Enhance" href="http://somalilandpress.com/somaliland-au-snores-as-eu-runs-41946#" target="_blank">question</a> is why our own AU is not far sighted enough to avoid a potential war between southern Somalia leaders and Somaliland that will undermine the stability of the whole region?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Somalia leaders are not known to respect the rule of law and the wishes of their citizens. This is the main reason that Somaliland people are fully determined to fight for their sovereign status on the basis of independence from Great Britain on June 26, 1960.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Thirty-one countries that are members of the United Nations recognized Somaliland as an independent state before uniting with the Italian Somaliland on July 1, I960 to form what was known as Somalia Republic. Somaliland is only seeking recognition within the borders inherited at that moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Somaliland , not officially recognized by any state, has been functioning as a constitutional democracy with a president directly elected by the people, aided by a parliament and local government also directly elected by the people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Some people do not truly understand why people of Somaliland decided to go alone, and broke its partnership with the south. Some of the people even speculate that the issue of Somaliland istied with the stability of southern Somalia, and the union will be back when the rest of the south becomes stable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">As a matter of fact, there are many reasons why Somaliland reclaimed its independence by breaking its partnership, but in my personal view, I would only focus on two important reasons:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">One, British Somaliland voluntarily entered a union with Italian Somaliland in pursuit of irredentist dream of “Greater Somalia” (including parts of Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti). It was very clear to everybody in both regions that it was never intended to stop with the union of the two regions, but to pursue the other three remaining regions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">That dream, therefore, effectively died when Djibouti got its independence in 1977 and decided to go alone without joining the existing union. If Djibouti people had the freedom to make that choice, it is only fair that the people of Somaliland can make a similar choice to over their fate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The main argument here is that the Somali union in 1960 did not achieve the reason for which it had been formed which was a greater Somalia, and Somaliland’s voluntary union at that time was based on that. And if that dream did not materialize, Somaliland could go it alone like the other regions did where Somalis live including Djibouti, Kenya and Ethiopia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Two, Somalilanders decided to break from the south because of the suffering and injustices that the people of Somaliland endured for 31 years of marriage. They suffered at the hands of southern governments particularly during Barre’s 21-year rule. The whole world knows that those governments even bombarded Somaliland cities. Therefore, it is a trust issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">If you had a business partnership with another person and you have suffered and lost everything, and you re-start your business, would you again create another partnership with that person? It is fair to say that the people of Somaliland have a trust issue with their brothers in the south, and will not join them again despite a lack of recognition by the international community.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Most Somalilanders, who only know Somaliland because they were either young or born after Somaliland re-took its independence in 1991, would tell you that if there was such a southern domination in the past, it is certainly history, and only refers to unity in the past tense.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is important to note that AU sent a fact-finding mission to Somaliland in 2005 in order to respond to the concern that Somaliland recognition would create a fragmentation of Somalia, or other AU member states. The AU fact-finding mission concluded that the case should not be linked to the notion of “opening a Pandora box”. The report recommended that AU “should find a special method of dealing with this outstanding case” as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, AU actions stopped there. Why can’t we Africans decide for ourselves, while Europeans are doing so and the EU is leading the way? I hope I can one day be proud of our African leaders through the AU leadership when I see that they are taking a far sighted approach like the EU in Kosovo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The more the African Union delays in dealing with the Somaliland case, the more it makes the situation in East Africa difficult, and risk a war, and, even equally importantly, the more the AU credibility is put into question. Somaliland’s case is a time bomb that the AU and the international community could not really afford to ignore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">On the other hand, Somaliland’s multi-party democracy system is rarity in Africa and the Muslim world, and the AU needs to seriously consider Somaliland’s formal application of AU membership to reward the people’s choice. Somaliland is a state where the power truly belongs to the people and facts are there for everyone to see.</div>
