Call to local and international communities
(Baaq)

“Somalia-zation” of Somaliland happening in earnest!

To: Two houses of Congress
To: Local progressive peace loving forces
To: International community
To: Regional governments
To: Friends of Somaliland (who wonder what ever has happen to Somali Landers!)
To: Friends of peace and stability in the horn and east of Africa
To: Whom It May Concern



The dormancy of the local forces, or unawareness of what was happening around them on their side!
The indifference of the international community, or lack of understanding of the situation there on their part, produced all the unfortunate bi-product we unfortunately witness to day in Somalia, like:
Wars, Poverty, Refugees, death beyond counting, destruction beyond measure, war lords of no bounds, pirates beyond control, extremist fundamentalist vowing to create a ‘Talabaan’-like governments in the horn of Africa’ and the rest of it!

The other day, Riyaale and his (new) cabal Jama-sweden’ the Riyaale nominate chairman of the Somaliland National Elections Commissions unceremoniously, unexpectedly, indecently expelled the Inter-peace organization which was helping Somaliland to conduct an international standard elections in this new democracy in Somaliland!
Reason, they want to rig the election for Riyaale before the election started!

They thumped their nose against the international community helping Somaliland!
They thumped their nose against the national institutions like the parliament and the senate.
They thumped their nose against the interest of Somaliland!


Here history repeated it self! Again we found our self warning and appealing the world to save Somaliland from her government just like we did before against Siyad Regime before them!
The flock leading by Riyaale and Awil are working over time in creating clan conflicts to fume inter-clan wars in the country, so that elections would never happen! They already did it in “Ceelbardale” incident! Only the people, elders, Religious people like Sh. Seera, in their godly effort, put off the fire at least for now!
The Riyaale so-called Government beats the drum of war sentiments through the public Radio, TV, and Newspapers. They barred from the Opposition to use these public media outlets! They imprisoned the journalist! They shut down the private media outlets!

If Riyaale and Awil’s way goes through, Somaliland will become like Somalia with all the packages mentioned above, and that is what they are up to! And that is what we don’t want to happen.
The thugs must be stopped before it is too late for every one, the local and the international communities alike!

The local front
All the progressive forces must be united, under the banner of ‘United Front for the Salvation of Somaliland ‘(UFSS) these forces may consist of: Kulmiye,UCID Qaran-UDUB for change-ODIS- and the independent conscionable sector of the society.

That national force must defend the country from the traitors through peaceful means.
The front must coordinate with all clans so as to dispel any confusion or conflict planted in their midst! The Diaspora must take their known nationalistic part. They are very important here.
The kids with guns must be educated as not to shoot their people and the opposition leaders as often happened and as often ordered by Riyaale and flock!
They must be educated that their allegiance is not to one man when that man betrayed the nation!
Their allegiance is to the country and the country is on an undermined sand-cliff! Put by Riyaale and the remnants!
They must be told they will be paid.
After all Riyaale was paying them their Mother’s and Father’s money and not any money of his!
Although the public media outlets are barred from the opposition the salvation message must be conveyed to the public in one way or the other. And so God be with you.

The international front

International community must exert pressure on the moral less Riyaale and his Moneyman Mr.Awil and the rest of Riyaale’s Ministers by not dealing with them as representatives of Somaliland
a) Refusing them visas to travel to where they hid the (public) money
b) Freezing all the (stolen) assets and Bank accounts in foreign institutions any where
c) Giving hand and work with the progressive UFSS to save their country, which is saving the region from disaster as, articulated above.

Together we could avert another Somalia in Somaliland and the region will sleep in peace but we have to act and do so, sooner rather than later. And

may God be with you all!
However peace
