Siilanyo’s odium war
against targeted communities, Gabiley being first

Introduction
This is a destabilizing move and
Somaliland and the region as a whole must be worried. When
leaders hip is bad, a nation suffers, and then if not addressed in
one point the state goes away with the wind!
Somaliland seems slipping away from our hands if the “trio” is not
stopped. The question is-who is the felon here, the trio or
the leadership? Who will be accountable to Somaliland, to history
and to God as well? The other question is-is the president aware of
what is happening and the consequenc es of the actions of the
‘trio’? Is he a victim or a felon? However and in the end it is Mr.
Siilanyo and Mr. Gaal who will be answerable to history of the
consequences of what they are presiding by virtue of being the
president and the chair of the Guurti. The other guy in the House of
Representatives made him self a product and it was sold by the
executive
The other question is- what has Gabiley
done to deserve this odium war from Siilanyo’s administrati on? The
three things Gabiley has done whether a
sin or not were:
a) They made Siilanyo the chairman of SNM in 1987
b) They saved him from the colonials of SNM who wanted him ousted
from his position in 1988 and ambushed him in ‘Laanqayrta’ Ethiopia
in the same year
c) they made him president by giving him 80% of their vote that is
their sin!!!!!
How bad leadership destroys states
Bad leadership destroys people and country. This conforms to what we
are seeing happening in Har geisa, in Siilanyo’s administration run
by the ‘trio.’ They use the president as a rubber stamp to their
evil agendas and activities. That is the prevailing believes in
Somaliland, particularly in Hargeisa!
Thus that is a testament to the continuing subtle war the government
engaged with the community in Gabiley
region! It is demonstrative to how Siilanyo’s ‘trio’ denied
JAMHUURIGA, UDHIS, HORYAAL IYO NDB political parties to exercise
their political rights. These parties are the most popular parties
with the most voting power but they happened to be from the targeted
communities and their sin was that will win in the ballot box!
‘History repeats it self’ as it is said. Dictator Siyaad Barre
started the war against Somaliland (then the Northern region of
Somali Republic) right there in Gabiley
Mr. Siilanyo is starting a war in the sa me place his ex-boss did!
This is in step with Another model of the ‘politics of the belly’
“it is the idea that the leaders create incentives for them selves
to use “disorder as a political instrument This refers to the
process by which political actors in Africa seek to maximize their
returns on the state of confusion, uncertainty and sometimes even
chaos which characterizes most African politics..” the trio are
practicing this game with out giving a thought the consequences of
this evil game!
The leadership of a people should be truly committed to the cause
and the aspirations of the people and the country they rule first
and foremost. That is not there in Siilanyo’s Somaliland True
leadersh ip must be for the benefits of the people not the
enrichment of the leaders and their cronies and the latter is what
is happening in Somaliland these days under the “trio”administration
Corruption has en gulfed Somaliland like fire does. Bribery is now a
common practice among the institutions of the gove rnment.
Liu Binyan said ‘’Smashing a
mirror is no way to make an ugly person beautiful nor is it a way to
make (social) problems evaporate.’’ The ‘trio’ may not understand
this and their wicked game is going on and on and on!!
.When the government is so corrupt, and arrogant, when that
government engages subtle wars wit h targeted communities like
Siilanyo government is doing in Gabiley Region, then that government
loses legitimacy. When that happens then it loses the moral
authority to govern. It got to change internally or be changed, Such
immoral, arrogant and ignorant functionaries in Siilanyo’s
government run by the ‘trio’ are in the process of resorting ‘the
politics of the belly’ and they will do it when ever they see it fit
in their greediness! It is happening now and that is a bad news for
the stability of the whole region. That is becoming Somalia and the
world is fed up of one Somalia and can not entertain another one!
Somalia already practiced this model! They are tired of it and it
looks that they are trying to change course.
That ‘belly’ politics, the vindictive policies and the behavior of
the ‘trio’ will put Somaliland to a break down and, then disorder
will descend until we become like Somalia. If we continue to point
out mayh em bad leadership has caused without confronting it and
implementing solutions, then we are making another big mistake.
Somaliland can not let her throat cut while she is seeing the knife
coming her way
Let sanity prevail and let us stop the evil doers the “trio” as soon
as possible. The president seems a hostage to the “trio” in one
fashion or the other. That is the prevailing believes in Hargeisa!
In the end the ‘buck stops at his desk’ and he will be responsible
of the actions of the ‘trio’
Peace and prayers for the Mother land
