Call for Unity among Somalis
Somaliweyn -27/02/06 The Times

SOMALIA’S faction-ridden parliament held its first session in the anarchic country yesterday since a last meeting, in exile in Kenya, almost a year ago ended with deputies brawling and hitting each other with chairs.

Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, the Somalian President, told the heavily protected meeting in Baidoa, a small town about 155 miles (250km) north-west of the capital, Mogadishu, that the event was an historic opportunity to bring stability to the failed state.

“Let us choose between serving our people or being put on the bad list of history as people who promoted confrontation among Somalis and lacked the skills to administer a modern Somalia,” he told the 205 MPs who had attended. A further 70 were absent.
Aden Mohamed Saransor, the warlord controlling Baidoa, had banned all the MPs from carrying weapons.

Somalia has been ruled by warlords since 1991 when Siad Barre, the Cold War dictator, fled from a revolt into exile. Hundreds of thousands of people have died from the conflict and the consequent man-made famines. The United Nations estimates that tens of thousands of gunmen inhabit Mogadishu. Aid agencies say that insecurity has hampered efforts to help the 1.7 million people facing starvation. They say militias loot aid shipments or force drivers to pay bribes.

Mr Yusuf told the assembly: “Somalis are fed up with hostilities, displacement and endless violence. The people want peace, freedom and to live under the rule of law.” Even as he spoke, however, the spectre of more violence hung over the country. Warlords from Mogadishu, a no-go area for the President, who is from the north of the country, were unable to attend the session because of renewed tension there. At least 33 people died in fighting in the city last week.

The Mogadishu warlords, led by Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan, the Speaker of the parliament, and Mohamed Qanyare, a drug runner appointed as National Security Minister in Mr Yusuf’s administration, attacked an Islamic militia that has steadily increased its influence in the area over the past two years.

The United States, which has a base in neighbouring Djibouti, says that the group has al-Qaeda links, drawing support from hunted militants who have fled there from Kenya, Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia.

The Mogadishu warlords are also strongly opposed to Mohamed Ali Gedi, the Prime Minister. The President and his Prime Minister want to invite foreign peacekeepers into the country to disarm dozens of heavily armed militia groups.
Only then, they say, can the so-called transitional Government — it has done nothing since it was formed in Kenya at the end of 2004 — relocate from Jowhar, 56 miles north of Mogadishu, to the capital. “There is need to agree and work on national security, which is the basis for the country’s peace,” Mr Yusuf added.

This Government is the 14th attempt to restore central authority to a country whose last national President was ousted by militias in 1991, ushering in an era of anarchy. The President proposed that MPs spend at least a week reconciling.

Somalia could be one of the greatest countries in Africa if Somalis could understand that the richness of a country is not showing military force or how strong a clan can be, but how strong all clans can be if they work together. That's a lessons that Somalis must learn some day: divided, they're weak, united, they're strong. In the meanwhile, more blood will be spreaded for useless reasons. Qabilism is useless by now in Somalia.

First of all, A Yusuf should give up trying to get an international peace force into Somalia. No Somali person in Muqdisho is gonna fall for that one. Somalis will unite against foreign troops and this will only create more division within the government and lack of trust in Abdullahi Yusuf. Secondly, there are no terrorists in Somalia at least not the kind America is after. And even if there are, I doubt any Somali person is gonna co-operate with America after what they did.

Anyway, I'm still optimistic Somalia will be unified.

"The United States, which has a base in neighbouring Djibouti, says that the group has al-Qaeda links, drawing support from hunted militants who have fled there from Kenya, Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia."

man the US thinks all muslim countries have some sort of terrorism.
san dheer, i agree somalia would never agree to have foriegners give aid or bring any peace. they unite when the outside world comes into the issue, but then go back to killing each other after they leave.

[Kamal35]

USA needs that the whole world believes that terrorism is everywhere in the muslim world...

In other hand -and Mac Mac could speak much better than me about the issue- I think that the anger of certain somalis came in 1993-1994 when they saw that, instead helping the population, the UN troops were making politics and trying to interfere in the political life of somalis.
