Baaq: Gunaandka Shirka Kenya iyo Tallaabada Xigta

TO: Dhammaan Waxgaradka Soomaalia iyo Martigaliyayaasha IGAD

FROM: (Arag Saxiixayaasha Hoos ku Qoran)

SUBJECT: Gunaandka Shirka Kenya iyo Tallaabada Xigta

Haddii shirka “dib-u-heshiinsiinta iyo nabadeynta Soomaaliyeed” ee in muddo ah ka socdey dalka Kenya, uu fashilo – Eebbe kama dhige-e mid fashila – wuxuu noqon-doonaa kii 14aad oo lagu hungoobey. Midkaani wuxuu uga sii duwan yahay kuwii hore dheerida muddada uu qaatay, 15 bilood oo is-daba-joog ah, xoolaha ku baxay (“resources invested”) iyo hawl-galka iyo dul-qaadka adduunweynahu muujiyey (“efforts put and patience shown by the international community”). Soo maaha wax lala yaabo? Soo jid (xaq) maaha in adduunweymahu Soomaali saluugo, kana qalbi jabo. Haddii taasi dhacdo, yaa eed saari kara?.

Inkastoo ay saas tahay, Su’aal? Jid (xaq) ma tahay in intaasoo shir ah ee fashilay eeddooda dadweynaha Soomaaliyeed guud ahaan dusha laga saaro?. Haddii si daacad iyo caddaalad ah loo eego wixii dhacay iyo sidii ay ku dhaceen, waxaa suuragal ah in dadweynaha Soomaaliyeed uusan eed ku yeelan karin sharaf darradaas ku dhacday magacooda iyo magaca qarannimadooda. Caqliga saliimka ahina wuxuu eedda ku koobidoonaa keliya inta mudan. Sidaas awgeed, waxaa la rajaynayaa in dulmiga iyo fool-xumada ka dhacay Soomaaliya lagu koobo dadka ka mas’uul ah, ee la wada og soonyahay kuwa ay yihiin.

Sidaas darteed, dadweynaha Soomaaliyeed, oo ay hor-kacayaan madax-dhaqmaakeedu, cula-maa-u-diinkeedu, aqoonyahannadeedu, wax-garadkeedu (rag, dumar iyo dhalinyaro), ganacsatadeedu wuxuu adduunweynaha ka codsanayaa inuusan albaabada ka xiran ee mar kale ummadda Soomaaliyeed fursad la siiyaa. Haddii, sida la rajaynayo, adduunwenahu mar kale indhiha is-ku qabsado ee abaabulo shir kale, waxaa laama huraan ah, ama lagama maarmaan ah in habka iyo dadka saldhiga u noqon-doona shirkaas ay ka duwanaadaan kuwii hore, iyadoo laga shidaal qaadanayo casharradii la qaatay wixii fashaliyey shirarkii hore.

Dadka warqaaddaan ku saxiixani waxay isku wadaan inay kamid yihiin dadweynaha aad iyo aad ka murugsan, kana wal-walsan, dagaallada sokeeye ee 13 sano kaddib weli xal loo la’yahay, taasoo shaki iyo mugdi gelisey aayaha dalkooda iyo qarannimadooda.

Kaddib markii ay muuqatay marxaladda adag ee shirka Kenya marayo, saxiixayaashu waxay is-tuseen in marna ayan is-moogsiin karin mas’uuliya waddankooda iyo dadkooda ka saaran. Waxay la noqotay in, ugu horreyn, codsi (“appeal”) ay u soo jeediyaan adduunweynaha, siiba dawladaha ku jira IGAD, AU, EU, USA, Arab League iyo inta kale ee Somalia tixgalisa sidii mush-kilada Soomaaliya xal cusub loogu heli lahaa, iyagoo tix-raacaya baaqii Madaxweynaha dalka Uganda, Mudane Yoweri Museveni dhawaan soo jeediyey, baaqaas oo Madaxweyne Museveni ku ishaaray in haddii shirka Kenya miro dhali waayo, arrinta Soomaaliya loo gudbiyo adduunweynaha: tallaabada hore AU, kaddibna Qarammada Midoobey (UN/Security Council), bacdmaa IGAD in muddo ah xal ka gaari weydey.

Sidaas awgeed:

1. Waxaan ku guubaabineynaa ka qaybgalayaasha shirka bishan January 9-keeda in ay ka mira dhaliyaan shirkan Kenya ka socday muddada dheer.

2. Haddii taasi dhiciweydo in dhammaan dawladaha IGAD iyo adduunwenuhu Soomaalida la arkaan in aanay madax dhab ah ahayn ragga IGAD ku caleema saartay shirarka Kenya. Sidaas darteed in dhammaan dowladaha IGAD, Xubnaha EU, Maraykanka, iyo dhammaan “IGAD Partner’s Committee” ay taageeraan qorshe wax ku ool ah oo Soomaalidu u dhantahay.

3. Sida uu soo jeediyey Madaxwene Museveni, in adduunweynaha la hordhiga arrinta Soomaaliya (Sida Golaha Ammaanka) taladana loo bandhigo waxgaradka iyo shacabweynaha si loo gaaro xal loo dhanyahay oo aan ku koobnayn kooxo ku qanacsan xaaladda hadda taagan. Haddii shirku fashilo, Soomaaliya waxay u baahan-tahay in aan xalka dib dambe looga sugin qab-qablayaasha dagaalka ee dantooda gaarka ahi ku dhisan-tahay jiritaanka dagaallada sokeeye iyo kala qaybinta ummadda walaalaha ah. Nabadda, dib-u-heshiinsiinta iyo dib-u-dhiska qarameed ee Soomaaliya waxay lid ku tahay danahooda gaarka ah, waana sidaas sababta 13+ shir dib-u-heshiinsiineed u fashileen. Dadweynaha Soomaaliyeed wuxuu la yaabban-yahay sida adduunweynahu, siiba IGAD, isaga indhatirayso arrintaas sida maalin-dharaareed u cad.

SUBJECT: Appeal to salvage the Somali Peace Process in Kenya and Next Steps.

As it may well be aware, Somalia has been in ruins for the last thirteen years as a result of a horrible civil war and subsequent collapse of the State, thus, Somalia remained without central authority for over a decade. All along this period Somalia suffered one of the greatest human catastrophe in the living memory of the contemporary world.

The scale of the destruction is beyond imagination. Ranging from total collapse of all national, regional and local constitutional institutions, security apparatus and economic infrastructure and both public and private, to the loss of innocent lives in hundreds of thousands, in addition to an influx of refugees and displaced people in millions. A tragedy, which its impact have extended on to every aspect of life of socio-political, socio-economic, security and even physical environment.

Numerous initiatives, in the form of conferences, to resolve the crisis were taken by the world community. However, none of the 13 conferences have produced any meaningful results including the Arta Peace Process which did not last very long. There are two typologies as cardinal elements of these failures:

· Legitimization of illegitimate entities: strangely enough, all regional countries and international community, who sponsored these conferences have followed the same approach, time and again, obviously with the exception of Arta peace process in Djibouti, and that is; holding an exclusive conference for Warlords or so called faction leaders. Somali Warlords have never been serious in supporting any reconciliation process, let alone finding peaceful political settlement to the problem they themselves have created in the first place. Simply because the civil war, lack of central authority and absence of law and order have created them, giving them uncontested, uncheckable authority that perpetuates the anarchic status quo. As a matter of fact, the Warlords are preoccupied in finding sustainable solution for fear of losing their present status, as de-facto gunpoint ringleaders. This has been conspicuously observed in their psychological fear of unknown behavior as well as their consistent and blatant refusal to reconcile and resurrect the Somali state.

· Denial of Ownership: apart from exclusivity for a few Warlords, these conferences are also characterized by a non-Somali driven processes and procedures. Thus, declining a basic core principle for reconciliation and conflict resolution practices. Clearly, this is a deliberate disregard to the legitimate right of the Somali people to participate, contribute and discuss their particulars and problems.

Though there are other underlying secondary or tertiary factors, the same aforesaid malignant anomalies are haunting the current IGAD sponsored Somali peace process in Nairobi, Kenya. For nearly fourteen months, IGAD has solely focused on re-empowering the Warlords/faction leaders, unfortunately, the process proved to be more divisive and repugnant in nature rather than reconciliation forum for Somalis.

A lasting solution in Somalia is dependent on an all-inclusive outcome of the Kenya conference. However, if the conference fails we would like to call upon IGAD current Chairman including and IGAD head of States to save the process from definitive collapse, which Somali people cannot afford, and support a new approach on Somalia’s crisis management. The approach shall be based on non- IGAD sponsorship of the process, possibly under UN Security council mandate with partnership of African Union, European Union and Arab League, and relocation of the Conference to a different venue. This approach should include all credible, able and willing Somali actors, representing across the social segments of the country. This will be an alternative Somali owned, inclusive and non-Warlord domain peace conference.

In this regard;

1. We urge upon the IGAD appointed “Leaders” not to disappoint Somalis and the world, therefore, to invest and grasp this last opportunity for them to achieve a peaceful solution in the upcoming 9th January 2004 retreat meeting in Kenya and show genuine reconciliation.

2. In the event that the “Leaders” are unable to agree in Kenya, we call upon IGAD and International Partners to support a new initiative where faction leaders are no longer privileged with the kind of attention and leadership role afforded to them in the past fourteen months under the IGAD auspices.

3. We support President Museveni’s proposal to let the international community address the Somalia issue beyond IGAD. If the Kenya Conference fails, we recommend the Security Council to step in and support a new initiative.
