Subject: Denunciation of Abdullahi Yusuf’s government

We the undersigned, chiefs and leaders of Digil and Mirifle publicly denounce the recently appointed regional governors, district commissioners and heads of military institution by Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and express our dissatisfaction with his government.

We have been part of Somali peace process and fully supported the inauguration of this government two and half years ago in Kenya, in order Somalia to get the lasting peace. We have offered to this government any material support that can offer any human being’s capacity, we welcomed the government in Baidoa, the traditional Digil and Mirifle capital city, we provided security to the government personnel and other international dignitaries and head agencies visited to this city.

Having provided whatever we can to support the government, today the hidden agenda of Abdullahi Yusuf has surfaced and his true face of disrespecting the locals, dictatorial attitude, hatred and incompetence is no longer a rumor but real.

Since Mr. Yusuf and his guards came into Baidoa in February 2006, his forces deliberately, shot and killed dozens of locals including prominent clan chief, although this was aimed to test our patience but we moved ahead for the sake of peace.

However, Mr Yusuf did not recognize any of our efforts and the hospitality we offered. We endangered ourselves in confronting gunman, warlord and other troublemakers that wanted to destabilize the city, which hosts the government.Somalia, land disputes are in the heart of its conflicts and none can solve this problem, especially the Somalis themselves, because the parties in conflicts cannot resolve unless there is arbitration or some source of mediations.

Mr Yusuf recently appointed by decree illegal administration in the regions of Middle Juba, Lower Juba, and Gedo and further created two districts within Digil and Mirifle town, in favor to his clan. He previously appointed most of top security officials to his clan. All these are clear in violation of the TFG Charter.

We here utterly refute his clanism approach in solving Somali’s problem and his appointed administration both federal level and regional level, as it legitimizing the occupied lands and putting his clan ahead the other clans.As the leaders and chiefs of Digil and Mirifle, our future support of this government and peace in these regions must be met with the following conditions:

1. Mr Yusuf to annul his previous illegal appointment both federal and regional level

2. Must equally share the position in accordance with federal charter

3. Must lift the so-called “Emergency law” in order the people to move freely and express their opinion freely.

4. Must leave the regional administration with the locals not to the Transitional Federal Government.

We, the Digil and Mirifle leader will take action against this illegal activities masterminded by Mr Yusuf if he does not fulfill the above conditions; our conditions will not be limited to the following:

1. Asking the government to leave Baidoa, both diplomatically and by force if necessary

2. Persuading our representative to quit the government altogether

3. Preparing another reconciliation conference which pacifies a creation of a new government suitable to all Somalis

4. Re-deploying our troops if necessary for protecting ourselves.

We hope that the members of international community who interested Somali affairs understand our demands and expectations.
