Interesting, Deni is a candidate for Somalia’s President.
Something tells me that Deni and Farmaajo are playing Good/Bad Cop with the Mogadishu Opposition. Farmaajo may be trying to setup Deni to take over helm while play as two opposite candidates.
As if this selection needed any more intrigue.

War Murtiyeed Xaaladda Siyaasadeed ee Dalka
Ra’isul Wasaaraha XFS Maxamed Xuseen Rooble
Sida ay lawada socdaan bulshada Soomaaliyeed, Dalku waxa uu ku jiraa marxalad adag oo dhammaan hay’adaha Dastuuriga ah uu ka dhamaaday muddo-xileedkoodii caadiga ah loona baahanyahay in si xilkasnimo leh looga gudbiyo dalka marxaladan kala guurka ah.
Ra’iisul Wasaare Maxamed Xuseen Rooble iyo Xukuumaddiisu waxa ay xilka fulinta ee Dalka la wareegtay xilli aad u adkaa oo Soomaaliya ay wajahaysay xiisado gudaha iyo dibadda ah, kuwaas oo keenay in lagu sigto in dalku uu ku noqdo burbur iyo colaado sokeeye.
Ra’iisul Wasaarahu isaga oo maanka ku haya mas’uuliyadda Qaran ee saaran waxa uu dadaal wayn ku bixiyay sidii dalka looga badbaadin lahaa marxaladaas adag, wuxuuna u hawlgalay sidii loo dajinlahaa Xiisadaha Gudaha iyo kuwa dibadda, iyadoo la ilaalinayo danaha Shacabka Soomaaliyeed.
Ra’iisul Wasaaraha iyo Golihiisa Wasiiradu waxeey ku guulaysteen toban bilood ka dib in uu muuqdo isbadal wayn oo ku yimid muuqaalka qaranka ee gudaha iyo dibadda, taas oo keentay in maanta dalka ay ka bilawdeen Doorashooyin nabdoon oo dhinacyadii kala fogaaday wada aqbalsanyihin, isla markaana si tartiib tartiib ah uu usoo noqonayo Cilaaqaadka dublamaasiyadeed ee ay Soomaaliya la leedahay dalalka dariska ah, Ururada iyo Dawladaha kale ee danuhu inagala dhaxeeyaan.
Tilaabooyinka xalinta mushkuladda gudaha ee uu qaaday Ra’iisul wasaaruhu waxaa ka mid ah hagaajinta wadashaqaynta Dawladda dhexe iyo Dawladaha Xubnaha ka ah, furista masraxa siyaasadda, si Siyaasiyiinta Soomaaliyeed ee leh hanka loogu diyaariyo jawi xasiloon oo ay aamini karaan, dhisidda kalsoonida Bulshada ee hanaanka Doorashooyinka iyo wadashaqaynta saaxiibada beesha Caalamka ee na garab taagan.
Si la mid ah arrimaha Diblomaasiyadda. Ra’iisul Wasaaraha isaga oo garawsan in aanay Soomaaliya wax dan ahi ugu jirin in uu xumaado xiriirka ay la leedahay dariskeeda iyo dunida inteeda kale, wuxuu dedaal ku bixiyay in Soomaaliya ay cilaaqaaad ku dhisan simanaan la yeelato dalalka muhiimka u ah, isagoo socdaal ku tagay dalka aan walaalaha nahay ee Jabuuti, sidaas oo kale wuxuu wadahadallo la bilaabay dalka Kenya iyo qaar ka mid ah wadamada Carabta kuwaas oo uu inagala dhaxeeyaan xiriirro dibliomaasiyadeed, amni ,ganacsi,waxbarasho ,ama marti galiya qaxooti iyo dad Soomaaliyeed oo deganaansho ku leh kuwaas oo ay mas’uuliyad ka saarantahay Dawladda Soomaaliya.
Waxaa xusid mudan in wada xaajoodyada lagu hagajinayo xiriirka dibadeed ee Soomaaliya ay yihiin kuwa dhawraya Madaxbanaanida iyo Siyaadda Qaranka Soomaaliyeed oo waajib dastuuri ah uu ka saaranyahay Ra,iisul Wasaaraha iyo Xukuumddiisa, dhanka kalana xeerinaya Danaha Shacabka Soomaaliyeed meel kasta oo ay joogaan iyo dhimista nooc kasta oo ah nacayb iyo colaad laga maarmi karo.
Dedaalada kor ku xusan waxa ay marayaan meel wanaagsan oo u baahan in horay loosii wado iyada oo yoolku uu yahay in R/Wasaaruhu gaarsiiyo kuna wareejiya Xukuumadda dhalan doonto ,Soomaaliya xasilooni ,nabad ah oo xiriir wangaagsan la leh dariskeeda iyo dunida inteeda kale.
Hadaba, iyada oo ay socdaan shaqooyinkaas wanaagsan ayay soo muuqatay baahida loo qabo jihaynta qaabka xil gudasho ee hay’adaha Dawladda marxaladda soo socota, sidaas awgeed,
Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Xukuumadda Federaalka ah oo cuskanaya Qodobka 97-aad faqradiisa 1-aad ee Dastuurka KMG ah, awoodda fulinta ee Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka ah waxaa leh golaha Wasiirrada, waxayna u qabanayaan sida Dastuurka ku tilmaaman, waana hay’adda ugu sarreyso fulinta maamulka dalka.
Xukuumaddu waxa ay sidoo kale mas’uuliyad ka saaran tahay Dhaqangelinta shuruucda, sugidda nabadgelyada dalka, ilaalinta danaha dalka iyo Dadka Soomaaliya, sidaas la mid ah Dastuurka Qaran ayaa u xilsaaraya Xukuumadda Federaalka ah wada-xaajoodyada la xiriira Kaalmada Dibadda, ganacsiga, cahdiyada ama arrimaha muhiimka ah ee laxiriira hishiisyada caalamiga ah.
Sida ku cad Qodobka 103 ee Dastuurka Jamhuuriyadda, inta u dhexaysa taariikhda doorashada guud iyo marka Raisul-Wasaare cusub la dhaarin doono, Raisul- Wasaaraha xilka haya iyo golihiisa Wasiirradu waxay sii haynayaan xilka, waxayna fulinayaan waajibaadka caadiga ah ee Dawlada si xilgaarsiin ah taas oo Ra’iisul Wasaaraha iyo Golihiisa Wasiirada u fasaxaysa in ay si caadi ah u fuliyaan waajibadka Qaran ee Dastuurku saaray isla markaana Meesha ka saaraysa in wax hakad ah ku yimaado shaqooyinka Dawladda.
Hadaba, iyada oo laga ambaqaadayo Qodobada Dastuuriga ah ee kor ku xusan, Ra’iisul Wasaaraha Xukuumadda Federaalka ah ee Soomaaliya, wuxuu farayaa dhamaan hay’adaha Dawladda in ay si caadi ah u gutaan Waajibaadkooda shaqo si waafaqsan Dastuurka KMG ah, joogteeyaanna adeegyada loo hayo shacabka Soomaaliyeed iyo ilaalinta hantida iyo danaha guud ee Qaranka, iyagoo xusuusan isla markaana dhawraya go’aamadii uu horay usoo saaray Ra’isul Wasaaraha.
Beggars Belief …
There is something fishy about this new dispute. Farmaajo seemingly has hands at everything that Rooble does or doesn’t.
I have reservations about this but lets see how it goes.
The cycle continues
Farmaajo’s clan administration in Gedo region vs Ahmed Madoobe.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more barmy. How on earth can the world (forget Somalis) standby this tragedy.
Djibouti detains Fahad Yasin who was onboard a Turkish Airways flight to Mogadishu via Djibouti.
Djibouti’s authorities deny the alleged detention of Fahad Yasin as fake news… Instead Djibouti’s FM says Fahad Yasin has been denied entry into Somalia by Somalia’s Authority, thus he needs to be deported back to Turkey.
Statement by Special Representative of the Secretary-General
James Swan to the Security Council on the Situation in Somalia
New York, 17 November 2021
Mr. President, Distinguished Members of the Council,
Thank you for this opportunity to brief the Council on the situation in
Somalia. I am pleased to do so again together with the Special
Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission
for Somalia, Ambassador Francisco Madeira. I am also grateful to brief
you alongside Ms. Asha Siyad, co-founder of the Somali Women’s
Leadership Initiative, and a member of the Goodwill Ambassadors who
have tirelessly advocated in support of the 30 per cent representation of
women in the elections.
Progress has been made in the electoral process, albeit slow and uneven
progress. I welcome the recent completion of the elections for all the
54 seats in the Upper House of the Federal Parliament. It is encouraging
that 14 women will soon take office as Senators, representing 26 per
cent of the Upper House. This is an increase from previous elections in
2016, though still short of the 30 per cent target. It is also encouraging
that elections for the House of the People have commenced, with 2 of
the 275 seats having been completed, and elections for an additional
eleven seats announced to begin this week.
In addition to the electoral preparations at the national level, the holding
of peaceful direct local elections in three districts in Puntland in
October demonstrated the feasibility of holding one-person-one-vote
elections - and underscored the desire among Somali people for
political participation on the basis of universal suffrage.
While acknowledging this progress, it has now been more than one year
since Somalia’s political leaders signed the 17 September Electoral
Agreement, and nearly six months since their commitments were
reaffirmed through the 27 May Agreement.
The elections for the vast majority of seats in the Federal Parliament
are still to commence, electoral security preparations need to be
accelerated, and a list published of the 30 per cent of the House of the
People seats that will reserved for women. We continue to stress that
women’s full inclusion and representation in political life, and in all
sectors of life, is key for Somalia’s sustainable peace and development.
This message was underscored by the UN Deputy Secretary-General
and the Assistant Secretary-General for Africa on their recent visits to
Somalia.
The United Nations continues to engage with and support the key
stakeholders to advance the election process.
This includes diplomatic engagement, including joint visits with
partners to the Federal Member State capitals and polling sites and joint
partner statements, as well as technical support to the Federal Electoral
Implementation Team, State Electoral Implementation Teams and the
Office of the Prime Minister, as well as coordination and channelling
of donor contributions for the elections.
I urge all stakeholders to move swiftly to conclude the House of the
People elections in the Federal Member States, to ensure that the full
Parliament is elected before the end of this year. I also call for the full
respect of fundamental rights during the campaign and electoral
periods, including peaceful assembly, and the freedom of movement,
association, and expression.
I am also pleased to note, Mr. President, in regard to political
developments in Somalia, that tensions between the President and the
Prime Minister that emerged in August and September over two issues,
namely the appointment of senior security officials, and the handling
of an investigation into the disappearance of an agent of the National
Intelligence and Security Agency, that these tensions have now eased.
Following mediation efforts by several senior Somali officials and
individuals, a broadly welcomed compromise solution was announced
at the end of October.
Mr President,
The security situation in Somalia, unfortunately, continues to be
volatile. I pay tribute to the commitment and sacrifice of Somali
Security Forces and AMISOM forces that continue to face Al Shabaab
on a daily basis.
Al Shabaab remains a serious threat to Somalia’s security, able to
maintain a high level of activities, including through continued use of
improvised explosive devices, and an increase in the use of suicide
bombers. In Mogadishu, the latest Vehicle-Borne improvised explosive
device attack occurred on 25 September, targeting a checkpoint at Villa
Somalia, resulting in several fatalities, including of a senior
government advisor. I condemn in the strongest terms Al Shabaab’s
attacks, and express deep condolences to their victims.
So far in 2021, UNSOM has documented 964 civilians killed or injured
as a result of armed conflict. Al-Shabaab remains the largest
perpetrator, responsible for almost two thirds of civilian casualties.
Regrettably, political tensions also continue to drive conflict in
Somalia. The period from 23 to 26 October saw intense fighting in the
town of Guriel between Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama and Galmudug security
forces supported by federal armed forces. This armed confrontation
resulted in significant casualties, mass displacement of the civilian
population, and severe damage to public facilities and private homes.
Along with partners, the United Nations engaged all parties on these
issues, with strong calls for a cessation of hostilities and pursuit of
dialogue to address political differences.
Implementation of the Somalia Transition Plan for progressive transfer
of security responsibilities from AMISOM to the Somali Security
Forces is advancing, but remains behind schedule. Regarding the
implementation of resolution 2568 of March 2021 with respect to post2021 security arrangements, the Secretary-General will keep the Council informed of developments, and I therefore will not go into
details of this matter. Suffice to say, further discussions will be required
among key security stakeholders to reach agreement on the strategic
objectives, size and composition of a future African Union mission
designed to support the security transition in Somalia in the most
effective way. In this regard, I welcome the recent African Union Peace
and Security Council visit to Somalia, which provided an important
opportunity for the discussions among many stakeholders.
Mr President,
The ongoing delays in the electoral process continue to stall progress
in other critical areas and hamper the achievement of national priorities
beyond the elections, including reforming the constitution and justice
sector, and advancing the development agenda and financial reforms,
including achieving the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative
Completion Point in 2022.
The humanitarian situation in Somalia remains dire, compounded by
conflict, displacement and disease outbreaks. Somalia is also on the
frontline of recurrent climatic shocks, exacerbating the humanitarian
emergency. Humanitarian partners estimate that 7.7 million Somalis
will require humanitarian assistance in 2022. Some 1.2 million children
under the age of five are likely to be acutely malnourished in 2022
without immediate treatment.
Some 2.9 million people are estimated to be internally displaced
throughout the country, one of the highest numbers of IDPs in the
world. In this context, I am gravely concerned that the 2021
Humanitarian Response Plan is currently only 51 percent funded. I
thank donors for their generous contributions to date, but a critical
scale-up in humanitarian action is urgently required.
Mr President,
Let me conclude by stressing that, although progress is being made, the
efforts of Somalia’s political leaders will need to be redoubled in the
coming weeks to bring the elections for the Federal Parliament to a
successful conclusion, so that presidential elections can then be held as
soon as possible.
The completion of these elections is more important than ever, so that
all efforts can return to the key governance, security, and development
priorities in Somalia.
Thank you.
