Rayaale-mistakenly Elected? 

Waxa qorey: Mr A Guled   

Somaliland Has been going through many difficulties, which some of them were nothing but to destroy this peace-loving country. There were many attempts, which I can probably say would have been hard to cope by any other nation on earth if they were in the same position, and non of those has succeeded because of this great nation, who love to live in a peaceful life and let other neighbouring countries live the same. Somalilanders thought they were moving towards democracy , but if things stand the way they are at the moment I think that dream will definitely be collapsing, because of the chosen leader. Hundreds of thousands of people came out last year to vote for their leader, they were thinking this vote would make their lives easy and lead them into a better life. Back in Aug 2002 my friend and i were discussing what would be the life after the elections?, we really had a nice chat, and we were talking about how the situation would change after the election, and I remember he said to me, “ do you think if the nation vote for this Government they will Govern in a proper way?”, I said to him , “ why not”, he said, “ you are dreaming brother, because the leader of the current Government (Rayaale) hasn’t got any experience of governing a nation, and he would turn things upside-down”, he kept on saying , “ let alone running this nation properly he would destroy what we have been building since 1991”, and now when I look his words back, I see the signs, and sometimes I say to my self , “ how on earth could he managed to predicting what is happening now”. We voted for a referendum, this referendum gives us the power to demonstrate what we feel about when the government does a wrong thing, this referendum we voted for allows every Somaliland-citizen to view his words loudly and clearly, it allows us to have the same right, it forbids us to go far beyond our limit, it lets us have our own right individually, Article 8 of our constitution says, “ Equality of citizens”, and that Article allows us to be the same, but the question is, is it working ? I let you my honourable reader to answer it. We all know how this government failed to deliver what we voted for, and we all know how Rayaale and his Government failed to obey and follow the rules of our constitution we voted for. We all know instead of making our dreams come true he appointed the largest cabinet Somaliland’s ever had, and unfortunately they happened to be the worst cabinet ministerials of all time. The most unforgettable thing he’s done is that he appointed the most important chair of his cabinet, a man who’s an illiterate , a man who once to have been a khad-seller in most part of Europe, a man who’s wanted-man in Europe, and a man who’s got a criminal record somewhere in Europe. And he turns a deaf ear to the people of this country (Somaliland). Many people believe he is doing this because Ismacil has got as bad record as himself ( Rayaale), so that he thought Somaliland people would talk about him (Ismacil Faqash) rather than himself and his wrong doings. Every nation on this world has a main target and goal, no matter the difference between their policies, all they keep is the main interest, but unfortunately we tend to be totally different if we are somalilanders, because we really don’t know how to think about the future, I mean how to discuss and plan for the next 20 or 50 years coming. And we tend to be a nation of today, not for even tomorrow, where as the other world think of their next generations. And that is why we voted for Rayaale, that is why we are not showing our feelings, and views towards his hidden politics. I Really find very strange when he says words like, “ I don’t want say anything about the agreements I have signed with that country ( for example, UK), because we have got enemies, it must be secret, so that they won’t have an access to block it”. He forgotten that he’s got the backing of his own nation. no matter what the enemies want to do, And obviously once u got the support of your own nation, all u got to do is go for what you want do, by analysing it first before you make the move. I doubt this statement he uses, most of the time, and I doubt that there are hidden stories going on behind the closed doors. How can we trust and have a confidence of this government that blames other political parties of their own wrong doings, Ismacil Faqash always accuses Kulmiye Party what he failed to do, he is the interior minister and he is not able to do his work what so ever , and instead of taking all the responsibilities of what happened since he is in charge of the home office he blames his wrong doings to kulmiye party and other individuals. And no wonder because he hasn’t got any idea about how to maintain and keep the security of this nation. I was one of the Somalilanders who came to see and listen his speech at the KENSINGTON TOWN HALL when he came to London, It was really not convincing, and I said to my self, “ my fellow-country-people were stupid enough when they voted for this government”, because while he was speaking, I was also weighing his statements, and I thought he was a man who hasn’t got any confidence on him self, a man who can’t run and rule and have a fulfilled decisions, a man who can’t have a target, the only think I could describe him was that he was a “YES-MAN”. And yes man has started his destruction of this nation, not because he is making that decision but other individuals are making him to do it, and he’s got no idea what its like of not knowing what u doing. Article 32: says: Freedom of Public Demonstration, Expression of Opinion, Press and other Media are allowed, do you think this works? Answer is no, why, because this Regime doesn’t want to be shown their wrong doings, and because of this, they put 19 people in jail, when they came out to demonstrate peace-fully. Do u think we are heading towards democracy? I let you answer that question my honourable reader. I conclude my words we failed to vote for the right person of this chair, and if this Government fail to let our voice be heard the situation would turn into chaos, and we will see where it ends.
