political freedom has meant zero sum clan politics in the Somali region

Post by Talo alle udaa »

Clan politics is the opioid of the somali masses. The new Somali region president attempted to be impartial and has roughened some feathers by doing so.

Because the party is the government and the government is the party in communist Ethiopia, clans who do not see one of their own in the key executive committee feel left out as major government contracts are perceived to be given out in unfair manner.

The executive commitee of Inna Iilays former party consist of 9 members. Some provinces settled largely by the OG tribe were left out.

Prominent Jidwaaq members were also arrested in Jigjiga for inciting clan tensions.

In a society intoxicated with politics and clan dynamics, Cagjar's every move leads to certain communities calling for his head. Lack of weapons and heavy security presence means it is unlikely any clan/tribe will dare confront his authority.

To make matters worse for him the region he hails from is entirely behind the ONLF for tribal reasons.


In 9 months time if a fair election does take place, he will most certainly loose the OG vote. If he is running as the candidate of the current party, it is unlikely other tribes will feel motivated to vote for him as he is not one of "theirs". How things actually play out only time will tell.

In due time, the somali region will resemble somaliland tribal party system wherein certain parties are presumed to belong to "certain clans".

Ina Cagjar has been forced to wear his Ogaden/Reer Isaaq shirt than the reformist Somali one that everyone was hoping him to be.

He gave into Ogaden pressure for instance he is now opposed to the census even though Ethiopia has halted all together for now.

He only visits Ogaden areas.

He never checked on any other communities thus clearly does not believe they need his services.

He is very slow.

He is bit naive.

The wolves within Ogaden and others will finish him before others.

Jidwaaq mooyee cid nabad gelyo xumo ku kacday ma jirto intii cagjar joogay. Tusaale anaku markaanu Dir nahay yes waanu samaynay abaabul qabiil oo aanu isku xulafaysaynano hadii wadanku multparty system galo. Laakiin ma jirto wax falal amni xumo ah oo dhukayaga ka dhacay. Ogaadeen yaguna ONLF bay wataan Laakiin wax dhibaato ah may samayn xaqbay u leeyihiin inay ONLF taageran hadii nidaamka xisbiyada badan la furo.


Qaabka wax loo dooranaya , waa hab baarlaman ee cagjar kuma khasbana inuu cod u raadsado gobol kasta. Hadii XDSHSI uu helo tiro xildhibano ah oo ku filan yagaa iska dhex dooranaya hogaamiyahoda. Cagjar reee awaare Buu cod u doonaya as an MP candidate. Haduu Soo baxo oo saaxiibadisa kalee kalsooni siiyaan Buu madaxwayne noqonaya. Hadii uu awaare ku dhacana dawladaba kuma Soo laabanayo. Sidaa u fahma bahasha. Xitaa waxa dhici doonta wax coalition government la dhaho , Sida wadamada yurub oo kale hadii xisbiga weyn tiro ku filan keeni waayo.

Nidaamka baarlaman ku waa mid qurux badan oo la maarayn Karo . Laakiin nidaamka somaliland waa winner takes all , laandheere banaan degay iyo nin xulafo culus wata uunbaa madaxwayne ka noqon Kara. Somaliland way bedelaysa nidaamka hada, Laakiin waa in waxa lagu bedelaya uu ka yimaada dadka uu caqabada ku yahay.
