US, EU To Blame For Supporting a Dud President Like Farmajo

MENAFN - SomTribune) Farmajo government hires all necessary skills to tell colourful deceptive stories of success writes columnist Mohamoud Uluso

After 30 years of dictatorship and civil war, the Somali people pulled off a qualified consensus on forming a new state that is different from the obliterated one. The President of the Federal Republic of Somalia is vested with the awesome responsibility and authority to steer the formation of the new state. Successive elected presidents strived to some extent to fulfill their awesome responsibilities with the exception of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo who strived to tear Somalia apart for good.

Early on, Somali people who enthusiastically welcomed the election of President Farmajo on February 8, 2017 was incredibly got by surprise by his quick turn to authoritarianism, kleptocracy, and opportunism, violating his oath of office to respect and protect the provisional constitution and democratic values, and disregarding his solemn commitment to bring together the Somali people torn apart by dictatorship and civil war. Instead, he exacerbated the division, distrust, and secession among Somalis.

From the get-go, President Farmajo repudiated the collaborative, participatory, and consultative governance arrangement between federal and state governments spelled out in the provisional constitution. He made the ousting of all leaders of the federal member states his single domestic policy issue for no other reason than his reelection bid in 2021.

By usurping the federal and state constitutions, he hijacked the elections of Hirshabelle, Southwest, and Galmudug states, while Jubbaland and Puntland states rebuffed his aggressive usurpation. Corruption, plums, sowing discord among local stakeholders, use of foreign and local forces trained and funded by U.S. and EU, and fraud elections have been used for ousting three state presidents replaced with loyal ones. Galmudug state has been with no government for 8 months without remorse and condemnation. Galmudug people are harmed.

U.S. and EU diplomats lead the international partners who play key role in the Somali politics, economic recovery, humanitarian, governance, and security. U.S. and EU assistance is heavily earmarked to promoting democracy, good governance, rule of law, and human rights and civil society. However, U.S. and EU diplomats remained complacent with the Federal government's inexcusable human rights violations, abuses of power, persecution of opposition, corruption, and election frauds in Hirshabelle, Southwest, and Galmudug states and the destabilization interventions exerted against Jubbaland and Puntland states. It's now public quotes that the elections rigged by the federal government are legitimate, while the elections not rigged by the federal government are illegitimate or disputed.

International Partners issued few joint statements expressing support and solicitation of performing list of priorities. Two of the priorities frequently mentioned are the resumption of the working relationship between the federal government and federal member states to restart the stalled state building process and to settle the framework for holding free and fair one person one vote political election in 2020/2021. The deadlock continues to this day with no solution in sight.

In defiance, president Farmajo continued bullishly not to tackle the priorities repeatedly raised but astonishingly he took pride on demolishing the democratic foundations of the Federal Republic of Somalia like degrading irreparably the federal parliament by eliminating the fundamental guarantee of checks and balances between federal parliament and executive branches. Free and fair federal election in 2020/2021 is an illusion. In addition, President Farmajo prohibited the officials of the federal government from responding responsibly and timely to the public and free media for complaints, questions, and information for government transparency and accountability that remained lip-service.

In honoring the sacrifices and support of the international forces and partners, Somali citizens persevered unspeakable abuses and violations by the federal government for three years. U.S. and EU diplomats didn't shoot down quickly the insidious idea that President Farmajo is supreme leader free from the constraints of the rule of law while the opposition forces are angry destructive elements who have no legitimate responsibility, role, and voice in the Somali political decision-making process. This undercut the struggle for democratization and bolstered personal rule.

Recently, the federal government requested the Malaysian government to enforce excommunication and death threat Fatwa issued by group of religious leaders against Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, leader of Wadajir Party for political and personal reasons. This is prima facie of the dangerous mindset of President Farmajo's regime willing and ready to use violence and abuses. There hasn't been any public reaction from U.S. and EU diplomats.

Somali people knew the priorities of the diplomats from the authoritarian regimes, but they have been baffled by the priorities of the U.S. and EU diplomats who support president Farmajo despite his defiance against everything the two diplomats stand for in terms of democracy, free and fair elections, free media and free expression, and good governance. Federal parliament is passing legislations that do not meet the minimum standards for democratic legislation in terms of process and content.

Undeniably, the International partners failed to tell the truth about the real political, security, and economic situation existing in Somalia and most probably they contributed to the power grip of kleptocracy that undermined the war against terrorism, a functioning government, and the rule of law in Somalia. The story of Afghanistan is a great lesson for Somalia.

In December 2019, Washington Post published series of articles based on confidential interviews with government officials who had leading roles in Afghanistan War. The interviews took place after 18 years of warfare that costed one trillion dollars, roughly 157,000 people killed, and hundreds of thousands of people wounded.

The headline of article was ' Afghanistan papers: A Secret History of War — At War with Truth . ' The upshot was that U.S. Presidents, cabinet members, diplomats, military commanders, and aid workers- did not tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan for 18 years.

In 2006 , the speechwriters of former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld wrote impressive report titled ' Afghanistan: 5 years later ,' that described captivating achievements made in the past 5 years. But, US army colonel interviewed later said that 'the Afghanistan government led by President Hamid Karzai had 'self-organized into a kleptocracy by 2006 – and that US officials failed to recognize the lethal threat it posed to their strategy.' Unfortunately, after 20 years, the people of Afghanistan are not better off than they were before 2001.

Somali federal government hired the skills for telling colorful deceptive stories of success.

January 12, 2020, the Ambassador of Federal Government of Somalia to the United States Ali Sharif Ahmed published in The National Interest Magazine a letter filled with misinformation and distortions under the title, ' Is Somalia Poised for Economic Success? Mogadishu's Debt may be the only thing preventing it from being prosperous in 2020 . '

After 10 years of African Union peacekeeping force and billions of dollars of support, terrorist group Al Shabab killed more people in the last 3 years compare to the preceding 3 years. The group gained more influence and expanded their tax collection and dispute resolution among citizens in many parts of Somalia, including Mogadishu. They also succeeded in appointing their sleeper cells in government positions. They attacked hotel and check points near Villa Somalia where President Farmajo lives under the protection of African Union forces. Somalia is far from being prosperous in 2020. Former Minister described Mogadishu a 'hell.'

Some observers strongly believe that U.S. and EU policymakers have changed their strategy towards Somalia in 2017 to secret strategy which completely diverged from the 8 years of peace and state building, respect of the rule of law, and good governance. The only billboard flying over Somalia in the past 3 years advertises 'debt relief,' an issue used for political propaganda far from its specific legal, economic, and fiscal significance.

The expulsion of former Special Representative of the UN Secretary General after simply asking the federal government to explain the human rights violations committed during Southwest Presidential election represented a negative turning point for the human rights protection in Somalia. The expulsion based on flimsy reasons would not have been honored by the UN Secretary General had it not been most probably the pressure of the United States.

The steadfast support of U.S. and EU diplomats to President Formajo's adventures marked by violence, abuses, and chaos was unwarranted and regrettable and has forced the opposition forces, the leaders of Jubbaland and Puntland, and others defrauded in Hirshabelle, Galmudug, and Southwest states to look for more assertive alternatives to regain their infringed political rights and dignity and to save Somalia from relapse. The situation of Somalia is dire and the buck stops with U.S and EU diplomats and their bosses for immediate change.

https://www.somalilandsun.com/somaliland-ugly-clan-federalism-sparks-fresh-turmoil-in-somalia/

The formation of federal Member States (FMS) without legal and political consensus sparks fresh political and social turmoil in all regions of Somalia. It is unequivocally clear that the federal system based on clan ownership of territory has become major obstacle to national reconciliation, peacebuilding, and statebuilding in Somalia. It polluted the notion of state, citizenship, and Islamic values and intensified clan rivalry and vanity within the Somali society everywhere.


In an interview with Aljazeera correspondent, Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed justified federalism as follows: “Federalism is inherent in Somali culture. Somalis have always been independent minded and through centuries have wanted to manage their own affairs.” PM Abdiweli Sheikh seems confused about the difference between individual freedom and clan federalism based on territory ownership.
Leaders of Puntland State (Harti Darod Enclave) brushed aside the need for a serious debate over the pros and cons of federalism for national reconciliation, unity, and prosperity. The clan demarcation line established within the Galkaio Town symbolizes the underlying clan hatreds inherent in clan federalism. Mogadishu residents removed the civil war Green Line for reconciliation.


here are made-up excuses to not seriously deal with the real problem of Somalia which is the lack of a national government that enjoys the support and confidence of the majority of Somalis. The accusation that there is a “centralist” government in Mogadishu, when the federal government protected by foreign forces does not have existence outside Mogadishu is red herring. The continuous clashes between Somaliland and Puntland are also evidence for the unsettled existence of both entities.
The claim that clan federalism heals civil war grievances and mistrusts, advances reconciliation, or adequately responds to the secession stance of Somaliland, or promotes democratic system of governance and national integration for socio economic development and political stability is indefensible. It is like saying that the divorce between wife and husband leads to reconciliation.
Somali Commentators argue that Puntland and Somaliland use 3.5 clan formulas for political power sharing- the three Mohamud Salebaans in Puntland and Others, and the three moms (Habars) of Isaaq and Others in Somaliland. For example, Cadceed.Com Website and AllSanaag Website report many complaints about the clan discriminations perpetrated in Somaliland and Puntland. The Khatumo State seceded from Puntland for similar reasons. The International Crisis Group (ICG) issued a gloomy report in December 2013 on the clan tensions destroying Puntland.


the views he had in 2014 when hawiye was the president is different to the views he has today when darod is the president. the very same thing he was calling for in 2014 a strong central government, he is attacking farmaajo for achieving it. so in other words he wants a strong central government led by hawiye and not darod.

His a liar where-ever HG goes there is green-line unless they 'disarm' the locals like Merca, Barawe. Look at EL-BUR. Look at Marehan/HG green line, HG takes green lines where-ever it goes because it's 'fuley' in 'war' with soldiers, it tries to attack un-armed people who are not fighting. Wallahi if u call them out for a 'battle' outside they lose the battle and then 'attack the civilians' plus they fight always from 'gudaha magalada' cuz the intention is they want civilian casualty kkkk they use civilians always to disguise their 'fuleynimo'. This is one clan I watch so closely for new 'anti state tactics' cuz u know they will find 'one' somewhere just to prolong the 'nakedness' cuz when we start to cover ourselves with an admin, they can't compete, they have no foreign allies, they know sheekadu is over.

Didnt they try that stunt joining islamic conference, what is moryan going to islamic conference for, u were raping unarmed women in xafadaha hamar. HG remind me of what Somalis were like prior like 15th century, they never developed further. Their good to study wallahi when u read ancient somalis u can see real life observation in mentalities our ppl may have 500 years ago around adal war period, I am sure we behaved like them on HABESHA wallahi

Darood hater kulaha.

Farmajo is more Murursade than Marexan.
 
:kanyehmm:

@Thegoodshepherd come talk to your cousin.

@Django
Dr ulusow does not care about ogadeen or harti or marehan.

@Django instead of your emotional rants why don't you for once put in a coherent thoughtful post. You quoted me now do you have anything to add?
The irony of this post is of all the hate on Darood Marexan is excluded.

If you had love for Darood, you wouldnt be dying for Hawiye in Kismaayo in 2013, You were very comfortable to share Kismaayo with Ceyr (Culusow clan) for 8 years. You wouldnt be supporting Centralism which dictates all IC funds are consumed in Xamar.

Where is Farmajo's Daroodism? his 4 years in office what has he contributed to Darood regions? From The funds he got from Qatar, Turkey etc what did he build in PL or JL or C.waaq?


Whoever has the mindset of a HAG is a HAG. Tell me what Marexan PMs or Farmajo contributed to Darood apart from trying to destroy and destablise Daroob bases?
Darood lost their properties in Xamar and it is unfortunately Marexan who are hell bent on working with Hawiye to destroy Darood settlements in Somalia.

Actions speak louder than words even though Culusow is Hawiye his words do not hold water as compared to Failmajo who is abusing office to undermine Darood.

I pretty know well even if Marexan were in charge of JL they would still want to destroy PL.

So please take your crocodile tears somewhere else.

You are the imbecile savage.

MSB killed More Darood than Hawiye.
Without MSB you folks would be nobody and trust me when I say that because you were langaabs that were running naked in the bush.

He brought you to the capital and gave your reer badiyos jobs in the central government and other government instituitons.

MSB Massacred MJs in Bari be cause he was paranoid.

MSB massacred Ogadens from Bardheere all the way to Kismaayo even women and children were not spared in the mid 80s.Raping, burning villages, confiscating livestock it was a calculated manouver to ethnic cleanse Ogaden from Somalia.

Funny thing is MSB was bitting the hand that was feeding him,

Then MSB gave the Ogaden land for free to Mengistu in the first IGAD meeting organised in Dibouti.

Then we dumped him and you savages could not even hold Xamar for few months you packed your bags and left Xamar and infact were in Kenya before any other Darood group. Because a langaab like you could not survive not only in Xamar but Somalia.

It was thanks to Morgan who was son in law to MSB that you folks found shelter.That is the same reason Axmed Cumar Jess did not accept Morgan and the hatred/conflict between MJ vs OG was because of you savages.

Culusow is a HAG and his policies have been implemented by your spineless Uncle Farmajo.

Look even in Gedo instead of him building schools and hospitals he is taking weapons and men to fight Ogaden in Juboyinka.

What he doesnt know is MSB lost his seat because of that stupid mistake.

Kibir ba idhin hayo.The Kismaayo 2013 was not a lesson it was just a mock exercise.
For Darood to move forward in Somalia your kind should be sent to akhiro.
