Badheedhe: Batroolka laga helay Ghana, saamayn ma ku yeelan doonaa gooni-istaaga Somaliland?

(Waridaad)-Waxaa shalay Anadarko Petroleum and Tullow Ghana Limited ku dhawaaqday in laga helay Ghana shidaalkii ugu badnaa Africa in muddo ah. Kaydkaa oo lagu qiyaasay inuu noqon doono ilaa 300 - 400 million oo barmiil.

Dhawaaqaa oo hididiilo badan geliyey dawladda iyo dadka reer Ghana, ayaa ah mid ka saari doonta waddanka duurfo badan oo wajiyo kala duwan leh.

Dahabkan maddow oo sidda uu madaxweyne Kufuor kaga dhawaajiye markii la shaaciyey uu noqon doono mid ummadda reer Ghana guud ahaanba saamayn ku yeelan doona.

Waxaa cad in xidhiidhka diblomaasiyeed ee Ghana iyo Somaliland uu yahay mid maraya halkii ugu sareeyey sadexdii sanadood ee u danbeeyey. Ghana oo taariikh ahaan loo yaqaano iftiimkii ay bidhaansan-jireen gobanima-doonaddii -Afrika, xiligii isticmaarku
haystay qaybo fara badan oo Afrika ah, kuna dhiiri geliyey inuu qabsoomo ururkii gobonima-doonka ahaa ee ANC -African National Congress- ee uu Nelson Mandela gudoomiyaha ka ahaa iyo xornimo doono badan oo kale, ayaa ummadda reer Somaliland u aragtaa isbadelka dhaqaale ee Ghana inay sii xoojinayso gooni-istaageedda.

Dhaqaalahan cusub oo sare u qaadi doona awooda Ghana ku leedahay Africa, wakhtigana haysa gudoomiyaha ururka Midowga Afrika, ayaa la filayaa inay wax badan ka badeli doonto xaaladda siyaasadeed ee Africa hadda ku sugan tahay.

Ghana oo ah dal dimqraadi ah doorashooyin xor ahina ka dhaceen, kuna soo baxay madexweynaha hadda talada haya oo ka tirsanaan jiray ururkii mucaaridka ahaa ee -New Patriotic party's - xiligii uu hogaanka dalka hayey Md: Rowling, ayaa muujisay in dimqraadiyadda ka dhalatay Somaliland ay tahay mid tusaale u noqonaysa wadamo fara badan oo African ah, isla markaana ku baraarujisey in qadiyadda Somaliland lagu eego il khaas ah, maadaama aanay ka hor imanayn xuduudihii isticmaarku ka tegay ee Midowga Afrikina qaadatay.

Sannad-guuraddii 50aad ee ka soo wareegay xorinimadii Ghana, ayaa iyana ah mid hore u qaadaysa qadiyadda Somaliand, ka dib markii si rasmi ah loogu soo casuumay madaxda dawladda Somaliand iyagoo lagu soo dhaweeyey protocolku lahaa madax wadaneed. Taasoo keentay inay Somalilandna ku soo casuunto dawladda Ghana inay kala qayb-qaataan sanadguurada 16 aad ee gooni-isu-taageeda.

Waxaa haddaba dhab ah in barwaaqaddaa u dilaacday Ghana ay geedi-socodka siyaasadeed ee ummadda reer Somaliand ugu jirto inay ku hesho ictiraaf buuxa, uu soo dhawayn doono, iyadoo ka faa'idaysanaysa, isla markaana cuskanaysa isku filaanshaha dhaqaale ee Ghana u kowsaday, oo ay kaga badbaadi doonto cadaadis badan oo lagu hayo madaxdda Afrika baddankooda, oo u rahman maal-geliyayaasha reer galbeed , oon badanaaba xor u ahayn inay qaataan qaaraaro ka duwan danaha maalgeliyayaasha, ciday doontoba ha ahaatee.

The New Somaliland Press & Publications Bill 2007

The Somaliland Government has recently sent to the House of Representatives a new Bill on press and publications. The provisions of this bill (based almost entirely on the Yemen Law No: 25 of 1990 on the Press & Publications) run contrary to international norms relating to freedom of expression and the independence of the press and are not in line with the Somaliland constitution.
The considerable powers given to the Minister of Information (and other ministers) include even deciding on appeals from anyone whose writings have been turned down for publication by a newspaper’s editor (Article 46). These ministerial powers over the press and publishers/printers/distributors etc, the compulsory registration of all press and publication activities, including the practice of the profession of journalism, and the extensive criminal sanctions which add to the existing array of criminal offences in the 1962 Somali Penal Code contrast sharply with the current Somaliland Press Law (2004), which contains no criminal sanctions and is based on codes of conduct. Unfortunately the Somaliland Government has repeatedly made clear its dissatisfaction with the current press Law and has used the Penal Code and extra-judicial powers to detain and imprison journalists. It is no surprise, therefore, that the Somaliland Government is not putting forward amendments of the current Press Law, but is now proposing its wholesale replacement by this new Bill which introduces considerable criminal sanctions, such as fines and imprisonment (Article 99) for the infringement of its numerous provisions, as well as prohibition of continued practice of journalism or publication or even circulation of printed materials; confiscation of property, including printing presses (Article 101) and seizure of printed materials (Article 102)..........Full Text

The Isaq Somali Diaspora And‎ Poll-Tax Agitation In Kenya, 1936-41‎

Poll-tax agitation has been a fairly common phenomenon in Africa. On most occasions it has involved little ‎more than vocalized protest. In a few instances, however, it has led to resistance that has been both serious ‎and violent; the earliest example of the latter is probably to be found in the widespread Fante uprisings that ‎occurred immediately after the introduction of the Gold Coast Poll Tax Ordinance of 1852; a later example is ‎the Natal uprising of 1906 which has been attributed in large measure to the introduction of poll tax at the ‎end of the previous year. Yet the agitation by the Isaq Somali in Kenya did not follow either of these two ‎patterns. In several respects it was a highly unusual movement: first, the Isaq were campaigning to pay higher ‎taxation; secondly, in order to secure their aims they attempted to mobilize the whole Isaq diaspora, so that ‎Somali in Uganda, Tanganyika, British Somaliland and Britain were all involved in this agitation, (see map )‎.....Read the rest

The "Letter-of-Death" by General "Morgan" January 23, 1987

(Waridaad) - Following is the famous "Letter-of-Death" as translated into English by Mohamoud Sheikh Ahmed Musa, former President of the Supreme Court, including his explanatory notes as footnotes:1
The report is addressed to the President of the SDR, the Minister of Defence, and the Minister of Interior. The latter, Major-General Ahmed Suleiman Abdalla, is also a son-in-law of the President, and Third Deputy Prime Minister. Since President Barre is also the Minister of Defence -- the previous holder of that portfolio, General Mohamed Ali Samatar, having been promoted Prime Minister on January 30, 1987 -- the report is seemingly confined to family members. This would explain its extreme frankness in specifying certain clans as targets for implemented and recommended punitive action.
The target is the Isaaq Clan Family. The term "clan family" was first coined by Professor I.M. Lewis, Professor Social Anthropology at the London School Economics, to describe the collective name for each of the several major divisions to which Somali clans traditionally divide themselves. The Isaaq clan family sub-divides into four main clans.
