Is Siilanyo’s administration an “Awr dabarla’aan dhacay”ready for an
intervention?
Ibrahim Mead

Siilanyo’s government has no policy for any thing, I don’t know if
they have one for corruption, dishonesty, disinformation and apathy!
I don’t know if the president him self needs to be rescued. I
however believe that Somaliland is alone, isolated and under the
‘politics of the belly’ I also believe that the pack which is
running our affairs is apathetic!
What does policy mean?
It is all about legitimacy, faithfulness. It is all about conviction
not convulsion and confusion when accused of corruption and
crookedness. It is about learning from your mistakes not denying it
and living in denial as Siilanyo’s pack usually do!
Honesty is the bedrock of any policy to move forward. Siilanyo’s
administration lacks this and worse yet they don’t worry about it a
bit! Probably they are not conscious at all.
The policies and politics of sillanyo’s crowd have their shoes on
the other foot!
Honesty is the best policy. It is a course of action. It is a
guiding principle considered measured and beneficial. It is also
reasonableness and prudence in practical matters
Honesty is the best policy which means that one must always be
honest even when he has done something disagreeable. There is no
honesty; in Siilanyo’s crowd. There is no levelheadedness in
Siilanyo’s administration. And they know not that they know not!
A Minister I know very well lately said some thing to the effect
that the people of Somaliland get nervous when ever we mention
Somalia / Somaliland talks! What that brother did not say was that
the Somaliland people know what he does not confess, which is that
Somaliland people believe that they have no serious government to
promote and defend their cause. That is what they worry about a lot,
not Somalia /Somaliland talk per se! There is no trust there; in his
government that is.
Somaliland is in an uncertain, precarious position. We are in a
deteriorating position in which if not confronted and intervened
sooner rather than later we loose Somaliland.
An intervention and rescue is not new to a Siilanyo administration!
An intervention and salvation of SNM under Siilanyo administration
happened in 1988. I was a member, a vice chair person and the
secretary of the nine member committee that did the intervention at
that time. (Ibrahim Maigag, Tuur, Mohd Ali Farah, Ali Tuur ad
otheres were members of the said committee of nine)
In Allah’s grace we succeeded in that endeavor. We saved the (SNM)
organization and we saved the beleaguered Siilanyo who was the
chairman of SNM at that time.
Isn’t it time to do the same thing even though the circumstance is
different!?
I believe we have to if we want to have Somaliland as we know it.
The great nationalist poet “Marxuum Cabdillaahi Suldaan, Timacadde,
maanso uu tiriyay 1961kii uu kutelmaamayo dooladeenii aan xamar
kutuurney xalkayga
“Dan Soomaaliyeed lama hayee, wa dabbaal kale,
Shacbigii dagaalka u gala, daadsan suuqyada e’,
Danbarkeedii Maandeeq nimaan, doonin baa dhamaye,
Dawarsadaha qaawani kuwuu, daasaddaw madhiyay,
Ee daasaskeennii wixii yaallay, lagu doortay,
Dikhsi lama xisaabsanid haddaad, daw ku kulantaan e’,
Dibjirkiyo haddaan lala hadlay, dumarkan gaajaysan,
Ninnaan dawlad baa Xamar fadhida, haw dabbaal-degin e’
Hadduun baa sidii buul-duqeed, daaha loo rogaye,”
It seems that the poet is talking to us to day. It seems that he is
speaking about the situation in Somaliland. It seems that he is
expressing the dismay and disappointments the Somaliland people got
from Siilanyo and crowd. It seems he is addressing the need for
intervention before we loose Somaliland as we know it.
These above lines are the true picture of to day’s Somaliland under
Siilanyo’s administration! I believe intervention is warranted to
rescue our beloved Somaliland. I hope the tantrums running our
affairs don’t take offensive for this call of intervention as to
rescue the Mother. We did that before as mentioned above and we
succeeded in Allah’s grace.
Peace and prayers for Somaliland
