Working with the devil
(President Dahir Riyaale)

To work and share the same beliefs and ideologies is the worst action that a decent person can do with someone who is a completely evil person. Therefore to work with Riyaale is like working with the devil.

President Riyaale is the most evil person in Somaliland, he bribes and divides our people, he also spreads injustice and discrimination amongst his own nation. He is an unjust ruler, a prejudice dictator and an authoritarian president. All his cabinet are his puppets, he makes the lives of our citizens unbearable and the situation in Somaliland is becoming a catastrophe. There is no lively hood left for the ordinary folks and the condition is really dire. The president has done nothing since he was in power except mismanagement and the wide spread of corruption. There is a vacuum of mismanagement and the people have lost hope in their government that is why many young people in Somaliland are getting radicalised and are being recruited by radical islamist groups, while the rest of our younger generation are choosing ‘the journey of death’ in to Europe and the West.

I want to tell the rest of my people and the international community that our President has lost all sense of mankind and he wants to stay in power for as long as can, he will try all sorts of tricks to remain powerful willing to use all the resources of his country to bribe his henchmen who are against democracy and justice so they will facilitate him to remain in power.

President Riyaale was a bad person who served under the regime of Mohammed Syiad Bare and Mohammed Ibrahim Ciqaal and he will always be and evil person. His most powerful weaponry is corruption and imprisonment of innocent citizens. It is now or never to stop this evil, enough is enough to suffer! Therefore we have to elect the right person and show the president and his dirty politicians that the people have power and we have to stand together in the day of election and participate and join the different political groups.

Somaliland needs a president who can inspire and guide the people in the right way during these difficult times. We need someone who can visualise the future; we do not need someone who is stuck in the present situation. What are needed for good governance are people with a clean reputation and the ability to perform.

Riyaale is a puppet for the enemy of Somaliland and he will do anything that they want for a few thousand dollars so he can bribe our people. He always builds conflict amongst his own people to divide them so he can rule them the way he likes.

We have to remove this parasite in a democratic way even if you do not like the other parties to win because it just causes more conflict; he only listens to Cawil who is a completely destructive man.

My people our economy is hobbling, our democracy and freedom have also been vanished and Somaliland is in a state of limbo which is a covered black cloud of political quagmire; the entire system is nearly collapsing and we have lost the basic necessities such as freedom of speech and equal justice etc. I do not believe that our current president is capable to turn this situation around, how can we trust someone who even refuses any other candidate from his own party to take part in the coming presidential elections? He even intimidates those who dare to challenge him, plus any hotel owners who allow other political member to organise a meeting will face a hash punishment and their licence will he revoked. How can this be allowed to happen in a so called democratic and Islamic country? Riyaale is simply following in the foot steps of Mohammed Siyad Bare and he will pay the consequences sooner or later.

I hope Somaliland will be free again and there will be equal justice under the law.
