HA LA JOOJIYO SUURAD-XUMAYNTA CIIDAMADA QARANKA SOOMAALIYEED.
Ciidamada qaranka waa haybada iyo astaanta difaaca qaranka Soomaaliyeed, ma mudna in la siyaasadeeyo, laguna tilmaamo caloosho-u-shaqaystayaal iyo hadallo deel-qaaf ah ee laga leeyahay dano gaar ah ee gurracan.
Dal qaranimadiisa ma jiri karto, mana la difaaci karo, waa haddii aan la helin ciidan tababaran, kuna qalabaysan hubka casriga ah iyo anshaxa suubban ee militariga astaanta u ah (military discipline).
Dalka waxaa jooga saraakiishii hore ee ruug-cadaaga ahaa (military veterans) inkastoo ay howlgab u wada badan yihiin, wali waxa ay garwadeen ka noqon karaan “ chain of command” laga hago ciidamada iyo tababarka laamaha kala gedisan ee ciidamada.
Nidaamka iyo hab-dhaqanka guud ee ciidamada waxaa ka reebban ku miilmida siyaasadda ama in loo adeegsado dano gaar ahaaneed, iyadoo mar walba garwadeen looga dhigo saraakiil la soo carbiyay, laguna soo xulay khibrad/aqoon, waayo-aragnimo iyo anshaxa ruuxaanta ciidamada (esprit de corps) ay ka muuqato, kuna dhaqma inta ay huwan yihiin astaanta qaranka.
Ruuxaanta ciidamada waxaa lagu macneeyaa (esprit de corps) lat. - “shared pride, loyalty and bond among members of a group that drives them to care for one another and work toward a common goal”.
Waxaa kaloo mudan in la xasuusto in
howlgelinta ciidamada ay saldhig u tahay mukhaabaraadka qaybihiisa kala duwan ha noqoto sirdoonka ciidamada howlgalintiisa iyo xuuraankiisa (covert/overt actions) - middaas ee runtii xambaarsan istraatijiyad iyo taaktiko militari (art of war) si cilmiyeeysan loo turxaan bixiyay.
Ugu dambayn, waxaan madaxda qaranka ku waani lahaa in la howl galiyo saraakiishii hore, waa haddii daacad laga yahay in la helo ciidan qaran ee tayo iyo tiro leh (quality/quantity wise) islamarkaasna, dib-u-eegis iyo isbedel guud (total reform) lagu suubiyo saraakiisha khibrada aan lahayn (junior officers) caana-nuugga (rookie)-ga wada ah ee garaadaha iyo xilalka lagu taxay.
Waxaa kaloo ah lagama maarmaan in si deg-deg ah loo joojiyo askarta iyo saraakiisha lagu xulanaayo hab-qabsiga beelaha 4.5 iyo musuq-maasuqa/eexda ragaadisay dal iyo dad intaba, middaas ee runtii aan guranayno maanta maxsuulka mirihii aan beeranay.
NB: ciidamada qaybaheeda kala duwan ha noqdaan (militari, booliis, nabadsugid/sirdoon) kuna suntan nafti-hurinimo (sacrifice) ay difaacayaan dalka ama khatarta gelinaaya naftooda (risking their life on the line) waa in ay helaan xushmada iyo qadarinta ay ka mudan yihiin shacabka Soomaaliyeed, waa iga talo.

TALO:
Ha la xasuusto in gorgortan aysan geli karin carqaladaynta iyo dhibaataynta nabadda iyo xasiloonida ka jirta caasimadda, islamarkaasna ay tahay khadka gaduudan (Red-Line)” .
Waxaa waajib iyo mas’uuliyad qaran ah in lagu wargeliyo siyaasiinta muddo xileedka uu ka dhammaaday iyo kuwa mucaaradka ah intaba, in ay tahay fadeexo iyo waji-gabax laga xishoodo in ay u qaab ekaadaan hoggaamiye kooxeedyo (war lords) hadba meel dhigta (check-points) dibna loo xasuusto wixii xumaa ee shalay laga wada shallaayay.
Dowladnimada waa ku dhaqanka dastuurka iyo xeerarka dalka u yaalla, mana la aqbali karo in ay abuurmaan danleey iyo jir-jiroolayaal siyaasadeed (chameleonic politicians) hilmaansan waxa dalkaani soo maray, meesha uu joogo iyo hiigsiga la rabo in la gaaro mustaqbilka, mana ahan mid dood ama muran uu ka taagan yahay in gacmaha la qabto kuwa raba in ay dalka dib u celiyaan.
Talada dalka in dhexda la dhigo waa mid sida dastuurka dalka uu qabo abuuraysa xasilooni siyaasadeed iyo ku dhaqmida xeerarka iyo hab-raacyada kale ee xeerinaaya doorashooyinka dalka.
Doorashada waa in dhammaan kooxda talada dalka haysa (incumbent/office holders) iyo daneeyayaasha kale ee siyaasadda (all other political stakeholders) ay ku wada qanacsan yihiin qaabka iyo habka loo maamulaayo doorashada si loo helo doorasho daah-furan, madax-bannaan, islamarkaasna (fair and balanced) ah.
Ma ahan maangal in sharciga doorashada (election law) midka ururada siyaasadda (political parties’ law) - midka xallinta khilafaadka doorashada (electoral dispute court) -Guddiga Doorashada “National Independent Electoral and Border Commission - NIEBC” ay “Villa Soomaaliya” iyo xisbul-xaakimkeeda “JSP” sida ay rabaan u maamulaan ama ku jaangooya damacooda siyaasadeed.
Doorasho heer federaal ah iyo maamulkeeda waa in saldhig looga dhigo sida ku qeexan dastuurka, xeerarka iyo habraacyada doorashooyinka, ma ahan in la aqbalo doorashooyin ku dhacda sida falaadka u qaabka ekayd ee horay loogu maareeyay doorashooyinka ka dhacay saddexda maamul-goboleed (Koonfur Galbeed, Galmudug iyo Hirshabelle).
Ma filaayo in guddiga doorashada (NIEBC) ay dhex-dhexaad ka noqon karaan ama lagu aamini karo doorashada dalka, waayo waa guddi hal dhinac ka raran - laga soo wada xulay xafiisyada dowladda sida “Villa Soomaaliya” iyo xafiiska r/wasaaraha (OPM) mana laga filan karo doorasho si daah-furan iyo cadaalad ku dhacda.
Sidoo kale, siyaasiinta hanka ka leh hoggaaminta dalka, waa in ay ka waan-toobaan yagleelida iyo taaba gelinta doorashooyin is-bar-bar yaac ah (parallel election process) ku dhisan in dalka laga hirgeliyo, islamarkaasna ay xaajadu u qaab ekaato ha yaacdo iyo jaantaa rogan, ama ay adkaan doonto in dib dambe loo yagleelo dowladnimo Soomaaliyeed.
Talada dalka in dhulka la dhigo waa mid horay loogu soo caana-maalay, mana ahan suurtogal ama mid la aqbali karo in koox yar ay milkiyad u yeelato hoggaaminta dalka sida ay rabaan ugu falaadaan ama ay wax walba ku jaan-gooyaan damacooda kaligi-talisnamada ama ay dib isku caleemo saaraan sida hal-hayska caan-baxay uu tilmaamayo “waan haayay waana haysahaa”.
In dalka laga badbaadiyo kaligi-talisnimada kobcaysa (dictatorship in the making) waa waajib saaran bulshada iyo qof kasta ee u jiir-naaxaaya badbaadinta iyo samata-bixinta dowladnimada cardunka ah.
Mar kale siyaasiinta dalka waxaan ku wargelin lahaa in loo naxo dalka iyo dadka Soomaaliyeed, caqliga saliimka ah iyo aqoonta ay shaqayso, dalkana laga qabto doorasho waqtigeeda ku dhacda, islamarkaasna hishiis lagu wada yahay.
Ugu dambayn, waxaan madaxda qaranka iyo siyaasiinta mucaaradka ah (opposition actors) ku waani lahaa in loo naxo dalka iyo shacabka tabaalaysan ee u badan miskiin iyo dan-yar, lagana feejignaado khataraha iyo xasaradaha siyaasadeed (gudo iyo dibad) ee ku soo wajahan dalka iyo isbedelka juqoraafi-siyaasadeedka geeska Afrika iyo caalamka (geo-politics) xoogga iyo muquuninta ku dhisan, middaas ee loo bir-tumanaayo in Soomaaliya laga saaro khariidada caalamka.

Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s speech tonight conveyed an unmistakable message: no retreat, no compromise. His words and gestures reflected a determination to proceed with his preferred electoral model, regardless of political consensus.
From disputed elections in Mogadishu and Galmudug to tensions in South West and Hirshabelle, the fundamental question is who controls the electoral rules and whether the incumbent can genuinely lose.
His rejection of the 2012 constitutional framework deepens concerns about a silent constitutional coup. He appears prepared to risk fracturing the federation in pursuit of an electoral victory on his own terms. Constitutional reform cannot confer legitimacy on the concentration of executive power. The masks are off. #Somalia #Mogadishu

The attack last night in Doolow on General Mahad “Shub” Abdirahman’s residence is deeply alarming and must be condemned in the strongest terms. He was a Somali citizen living in a residential area and openly expressing his political views. Five civilians were reportedly injured.
The use of a sophisticated, targeted drone strike in a residential area raises serious questions. But let me be clear: ultimate responsibility for what happens in Somalia rests with the Somali Government and its leadership. They are responsible for the security of the Somali people and must be held accountable for actions carried out under their authority.
Dalka iyo dadka Soomaaliyeed waxaa mas’uuliyadda u haya Dowladda Soomaaliyeed iyo madaxdeeda, iyaga ayaana lagala xisaabtamayaa.
What makes this attack even more disturbing is its timing. It comes as we are on the verge of concluding an agreement to establish the Democratic Transition Task Force (DTT), with a signing expected within days.
So we must ask plainly: Was this attack intended to derail the political process?
If so, how can President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud be taken seriously in negotiations while political opponents are being targeted with lethal force?
We cannot resolve our political differences through missiles, drones, and force. If the DTT agreement is to have any meaning, the violence must stop, and the political process must be protected.

I fully endorse the statement by the Union of Somali Islamic Scholars' Councils condemning the forced displacement of Mogadishu's citizens.
The outgoing president has overseen a systematic land grabbing scheme in the capital, enforced by coercion and in open violation of citizens' rights. It threatens the security of every resident of Mogadishu.
Our religious leaders have spoken clearly. Every Somali must now take a stand as history will record who stood for justice and the rule of law, and who chose injustice and force.

BREAKING: Former Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdirizak says calls to return Somalia to a transitional system lack careful consideration. He says the Nabad and Nolol party, led by @M_Farmaajo, rejects such a proposal suggested by the opposition.

Beyond the negotiations and political maneuvering lies a more fundamental question: What kind of political settlement will enable Somalia to remain united, democratic, and stable over the next twenty years? My latest essay explores that question.
wardheernews.com/after-twent…
Dictatorship in the making or what?.
Demanding people to obey and refusing them to allow their freedom to act as they wish is a total violation of the Somali constitution.
Constructive criticism is the symbol of freedom of expression enshrined in every constitution.
Benito Mussolini once said: “all within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
How do the Somali people see the behavior of the Somali Government and its treatment in silencing the legitimate news its political opponents and other foreign media critics.
Are we in a Mussolini era?
QARAN-JAB IYO IHAANO KA WAYN MA JIRTO IN KU-XIGEEN AGAASIME SIRDOON DOWLAD AJNABI AH IN UU NA DHEX-DHEXAADIYO.
Waxaa musiibo qaran ah in maanta la qabto shir dhex-dhexaadin iyo dib-u-hishiisiin u dhexeeya mucaaradka iyo dowladda muddo xileedkeeda uu dhammaaday, garwadeena ay ka yihiin ajnabi xilal hooseeya ka haaya dalalkooda.
Shirka ayaa sida la soo warinaayo ku saabsan nidaam doorasho “electoral model” hishiis lagu wada yahay, waa mid laga maarmi karay in dowlado ajnabi ah lala hoos-galo, waayo waa qaran-jab iyo bahdilaad food-saartay dowladnimada Soomaaliyeed.
Waxaa dalka iyo qurbaha jooga aqoon-yahanno Soomaaliyeed khibrad iyo waayo-aragnimo xad-dhaaf ah u leh habraacyada iyo nidaamyada doorasho “electoral systems” - waxaa runtii mucaaradka iyo dowladda ay ka fadileen in wakiilo ajnabi ah ay la hoos galaan in ay u soo minguuriyaan habraacyo doorasho ay Soomaalida ku filan tahay, waa haddii ay jirto niyaad wanaag, kalsooni iyo dowlad dhis la wada aaminsan yahay.
Waaxaa kaloo ihaano xadkeeda dhaaftay iyo garasho la’aan ah in ku-xigeenka sirdoonka dalka Turkiye iyo wakiilo u badan ajnabi siihaye-yaal “charge d’affaires a. i” u badan ee dalkeena muqiimka (residence) ku ah in ay siyaasiinta Soomaaliyeed dhex-dhexaadiyaan, farta ugu fiiqaan masiirka dalka , iyagoo ka duulaya danahooda gaar ahaaneed, wixii ay rabaana u yeeriyaan.
Waxaa la yaab ah in dowladda Turkiye iyo wakiilada beesha caalamka C6+ ay qorsheeyeen in maalinta kowaad loo furo xubnaha ka socda dowladda iyo mucaaradka tababar wacyigelin ku saabsan kalsooni iyo niyad dhisid “confidence-building measures” iyo tababaro yar-yar “mini workshop” u qaab eg “induction training course” - which primarily refers to the formal act or process of introducing participants in order to reach a general conclusion about a highly debated and contraversial issue eg. “electoral model” aan la hubin natiijadeeda iyo fulinteeda intaba.
Ugu dambayn, waxaan dowladda iyo siyaasiinta mucaaradka ah “opposition actors” ku waani lahaa in dalka iyo dadka Soomaaliyeed loo jiir-naxo, dowladnimadana la badbaadiyo,
ajnabiga maalin walba la hoos cararaayo markii xurguf siyaasadeed timaado “minor issues” la joojiyo, sharafta, qiyamka iyo milgaha dowladnimada iyo maqaamka shacabka Soomaaliyeed la dhowro, waa iga talo.

Somalia's Defence Minister, Ahmed Moallim Fiqi, recently claimed that there are only two political parties in Somalia: the JPS led by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Al-Shabaab. He may have intended to dismiss the opposition as irrelevant, but his statement raises a serious question. Why does the current administration, whose mandate expires on May 15, 2026, frame a terrorist organization as its principal political rival instead of the democratic opposition, including former presidents, prime ministers, ans ministers.
It is really difficult to dismiss the Minister's statement as a simple slip of the tongue when you know that the co-founder of Al-Shabaab, Mukhtar Robow, is the Minister of Religious Affairs despite never standing trial for his past role in the terrorist group. Mr. Fiqi's predecessor at the ministry and current Minister of Ports is also a former Al-Shabaab member. This caused me to wonder: is this part of the reason the US decided to end its $502 million funding for the UN to support the AUSSOM logistics?
If so, does Washington anticipate that Al-Shabaab could eventually become the country's dominant political force? Nevertheless, the prevailing culture within the FGS leaders is driven by power, status, and political opportunism rather than principles. For instance, the current Minister of Internal Security once opposed HSM as a "corrupt and dangerous man" and only switched sides after his fallout with Jubbaland president, Ahmed Madobe.
Somalia is a beautiful nation with immense opportunities and potential to become the Singapore of East Africa, but it continues to suffer from the deliberate instability, division, and misgovernance of corrupt, incompetent, yet violent men who hold 20 million citizens hostage for 3.5 decades. The ultimate choice belongs to the citizens to uprise and reject the cycle of lawlessness.

The lame-duck president, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is reportedly planning to proceed with a parliamentary election that many argue is unconstitutional. He is seeking to install a Speaker in a Parliament whose constitutional term expired on April 14, 2026.
The broader concern, according to many observers, is what they see as a continuing pattern of disregarding the Constitution and the laws governing the country. They argue that Somalia’s political crisis persists because President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is determined to manipulate the country’s constitutional and legal frameworks to advance his political agenda.
Looking back at the president’s conduct over the past four years, it is likely that he will seek the election of a compliant Speaker who will do whatever he is told to do.
The parliamentarians participating in this vote at least have a choice among the candidates before them. Rather than supporting the president’s preferred candidate, they should choose to support Hon. Sadat Alio, who has a cleaner political record that surpasses the President’s preferred candidate.
Vote for Hon. Sadat Alio because of his demonstrated commitment to constitutional governance, and his advocacy for inclusive political processes that prioritize national stability over partisan interests.
Disclaimer: Endorsing a candidate for Speaker does not constitute recognition of the legality or constitutional legitimacy of the current Parliament or the government overseeing this process. It reflects only a preference among the available candidates.
SHORT MEMORABLE MOTTO
This is a short memorable motto in which I had written it in the eve of the Somali Presidential Election in Djibouti
(December 17, 2008).
“Whether I am feeling hopeful or discouraged about peace and democracy in Somalia these days, the transition from making the peace to building the peace lack self-assurance per se, and not applicable, as some actors/ entertain themselves”.
“It is with my hope and conviction that it succeeds, but if history is a guide, and knowing exactly, compromising positions of certain political actors/stakeholders, I am hesitant that the state we are going to produce will in the final analysis, turning out be a criminal state legitimized by fraudulent elections and it is the same formula in which I had predicted it”.
Political leaders must and shall develop immediate inner conscience and humane attitude to save the people and country, otherwise, we shall all regret at different times and ages.

THE PETER PRINCIPLE
Why things always go wrong ?
There are two kinds of failures:
"Those who thought and never did and those who did and never thought".
Lawrene J. Peter.
In the context of Somalia the two extremes can be taken as an example: those who thought and never did ( elites, civil society organizations, learning society) and those who did and never thought (opposition/warlords, Federal and state leaders.
This is unfortunate reality for a country which is at the brink of total annihilation from the face of the earth and brutally ravaged by a fratricidal war for over three decades.
