Washintong (SNN)- Mudane ka tirsan golaha Kongarayska (Congress) Maraykanka oo magaciisa la yidhaa Mr. Arlen Specter oo laga soo doorto gobolka Pennsylvania, ayaa sheegay in Gen. Maxamed Cali Samatar oo hadda dacwadi kaga socoto Maxkamadda sare ee dalka Maraykanka uu yahay dambiile gaystay tacadiyo isugu jira xasuuq, jidh-dil iyo kufsi. Mr. Arlen Specter oo ka hadlayey dacwadda xasuuqii Gen Maxamed Cali Samatar u gaystay shacabka Somaliland oo Arbacadii toddobaadkan ka bilaabantay maxkamadda sare ee Maraykanka, waxa uu si cad u sheegay in aannu Samatar ka baxsan karin dambiyada ka dhanka ah xuquuqda aadamaha ee uu gaystay waqtigii uu xilalka ka hayey dawladdii Siyaad Barre, isla markaana waxa uu sharraxaad ka bixiyey doodaha iska soo horjeeda ee ku saabsan in madaxda dalalkooda dambiyada ka soo gala lagu maxkamdayn karo Maraykanka iyo in kale. “Maxkamadda sare ee Maraykanku waxay dhegaysanaysaa doodda dacwad natiijadeedu ay noqon doonto mid meel marisa ama tirtirta xuquuqda dhibanayaasha jidh-dilka ee waddamada kale madaxdoodu ka gaystaan iyo askarta Maraykanka in lagu maxkamadeeyo sharciga Maraykanka.

Arlen. Mudane Arlen oo ka hadlayey tacadiyada uu gaystay maamulkii uu ka tirsanaa Cali Samatar iyo waxa ay ku samri karaan dhibanayaashii dhibta u gaystay, waxa uu yidhi; “Dacwaddan waxa lagu oogayaa Gen. Maxamed Cali Samatar oo haatan degan magaalada Fairfaz oo ahaa Wasiirkii Gaashaandhiga dawladdii Siyaad Barre. Taliska Samatar waxa uu masuul ka ahaa dil baahsan, kufsi iyo jidh-dilka kumanaan rayidka Soomaalida ka mid ah, markii xukuumaddii Siyaad Barre dhacday 1991-kii Cali Samatar waxa uu u xaqay Maraykanka. Dhibanayaasha dacwadan oo uu wakiil ka yahay xarunta caddaaladda iyo masuuliyaddu ayaa waxa ay cawil-celin ku doonayaan Axdiga Badbaadada Dhibanayaasha Jidh-dilka ee Maraykanka oo soo baxay 1991-kii, kaas oo ka mamnuucaya inay nabadgelyo ku soo degaan dalkan Maraykanka madaxda waddamada kale ee isticmaali jirtay jidh-dilku.” Dooda Gen.

Saylac:(OWN) Abwaanka Weyn ee Maxamuud Cabdilaahi Ciise (Sangub) ayaa ka soo qayb galay caleemo saarkii Ugaaska beeshe Ciise. Abwaan Sangub oo waraysi siiyay Idaacada BBC laanta Afka Soomaaliga, ayaa sheegay in uu mudo saddex sano ah ku sugnaa Jamhuuriyada Djibouti, kana soo digo rogtay dhankii qurbaha, Abwaanku si rasmi ah uma sheegin sababta dhabta ah ee ku kaliftay in gebi ahaanba ka soo guuro wadanka maraykanka. Hal-abuurka weyn Maxamuud Cabdilaahi Ciise (Sangub) waxaa mudooyinkii u danbeeyay soo baxayay warar lagu faafiyay dhinaca Internetka oo sheegaya in dacwad looga haysto gudaha dalka maraykanka kuna saabsanayd, gabadh yar oo sheegtay in Abwaanku faraxumayn kula kacay wakhti da’deedu aad u yarayd. Dacwadan ayaa hadii lagu helo Abwaanka u horseedi karta xadhig aad u adag, hadii lagu waayana waxaa uu heli doonaa magdhow iyo xaalmarin, balse ilaa iyo hada lama garan karo sababta uu abwaanku isu baraxi waayay. Mar Abwaan Sangub ka weydiiyay sababta uu Hargeysa u iman waayay waxaa uu yidhi “waxaan u iman waayay mid hadii aad wado-bariis weydiiso aan garanayn oo ordaya oo xaydan baa soo galay, markaas dhibaatooyin badan baa la sameeyay, aduunka maradaa kugu gubatay ma maqashay!, hadii uu aniga qoys kale i dhibaateeyo waan gabyi lahaa oo waan hadli lahaa bal adigu hooyadaa iyo aabahaa midna amaan midna cay”. Abwaan Sangub waxa uu sheegay in uu qurbihii la qabsan waayay, si kastaaba ha jirto ama dhibaato kasta oo aan jirin hala abuuro, ama Soomaalida qaarkeed ha ii arkeen in aan qabiil ahay ama meel ha la’igaga dhocaba oo yaan la i xaalsiin ama ha la i eryado ama yaan la i eryan meeshaas ayaan ku soo gabaday ninyoow. Geesta kale waxaa uu Abwaan Maxamuud Cabdilaahi Ciise (Sangub) ku sheegay sababta uu Hargeysa u iman waayay ay la xidhiidho wixii uu kaga jawaabi lahaa mawqifkiisa ku aadan madaxbanaanida Somaliland, taasi oo uu ku sifeeyay in jawaab kasta oo uu ka bixiyo ay horseedi karto in ay ka cadhaysiiso qoysaska ay ka soo jeedaan Aabihii iyo hooyadii, sidaasi darteed uu miciin biday in aanu halkaasi u dhaafin, balse wariyaha ayaa u sheegay in hadii uu Hargeysa yimaado si weyn loogu soo dhawayn doono isla markaasina ay yimaadeen Abwaano kale oo wax laga sheegi jiray sida Marxuum Cabdi Qaadir Xirsi Yamyam iyo Abwaan Dhoodaan oo labadoodaba si weyn loogu soo dhaweeyay. Dhanka kale Abwaan Sangub ayaa sheegay in u rajaynayo in uu socdaal ku yimaado magaalada Hargeysa balse ma sheegin wakhti uu rajaynayo in uu u soo ambabaxo dhinaca Hargeysa. Abwaan Sangub oo ka waramaya waayaha dadka wakhtigan waxaa uu yidhi “wax kasta oo aad sheegto waxaa la odhanayaa iska daa waa laga danbeeyaa, odhaahdaas oo aan u bixiyay gorayaa ka danbaysay”. Ugu danbayntii waxaa Abwaan Sangub waxa uu xusay in uu garan karo u jeedada dadka durayaa ay tahay “Sangub cid kale ayuu noqday”.

If the Idoor and their Satatic foreign forces want to go after him, you will have to go through all of us. By the way you can ask the US all you want but they will not hand him to you because they cannot hand a foreign official to a rebel movement. No wonder why Mujahid Sangub called your people "YAC" because that is truly what you are. Tribalism is a disease that was invented in Hargeisa. The SNM is about to disintegrate and Habar vs Habar war is few months away. If Habar Jeclo doesn't win the chairmanship of the SNM then they will invade Hargeisa and Habar Awal will be refugees in Ethiopia all over again.

Corrupt elite worldwide poison the system with ill gotten money, buying votes in a different level of the society. In election they do bribe the public with fictitious programmes if not direct cash; in Parliament they silence the critic with its venom. Families are adulterated and children lose their decency. It is a sordid and cancerous disease that leaves no one untouched. Corruption is the master key to injustice. It allows innocent citizens jailed, while despicable criminals fill seats of authority. Judges serve not justice but deliberate according to the price offered. Police are bought as well as all security apparatus. Drugs and weapons are stored in ministerial offices and residence and in many times under the bed of presidency itself. No nation can prosper nor enjoy persistent peace without eradicating corruption. It is a slow killer but surely a killer that misses no target, as the target is so big to miss. It aims the entire nation. Democracy as a safeguard of human rights can function, where rule of law prevails. That guarantee is non-existent in most developing nations. The Western Democracies rather than helping to nurture the essential institutions of democracy, engage greedy local politicians in transactions that are illegal to say the least and mostly of criminal in nature. They offer aid, grants and loans to despotic governments and in many times earn kickbacks in the process. It is that which cements a system of bribery and sleaze in developing states. Most grants and loans earmarked for the poor ends in the mouths of tyrants and their entourage. President Obama is right to address corruption in Afghanistan, but that should entail all countries. Let us reward good governance and democracy and punish the rotten regimes that stick to the chair of satanic authority. They defend their illegitimate power ruthlessly and nothing to contribute to the well-being of their people. They rule by denying all basic human rights, turning the masters of their power into slaves. They loot people’s properties, as they did to people’s power. Ban them to travel, never giving them the chance to enjoy the courtesy of civilised nations. Trace their ill gotten wealth and prohibit them to taste purchase of a single penny they stole. Climate change challenges cannot be mitigated without addressing the widely spread corruption in the developing states. No convention or treaty will be binding where everything is for sale, where deals have no restrictions, except the higher bidder gets all. World security is at risk where that kind of thinking is practised. Terrorists can find safe haven in corrupt states. They buy their way in and out. There is no more urgent and severe challenge to us all than corruption. Building democratic institutions is the most effective remedy to crippling disease of corruption. Here I illustrate some of the areas that call for immediate cure: 1. Capacity building of Parliaments as people’s representatives is extremely needed. Even financial help to members can be justified .The more we spend on Parliament; the more we can make the legislative corrupt regimes to account. 2. Equally, the Police and Judiciary should be given a helping hand.3. Elections should be monitored and supervised by independent forums. 4. Their fairness depends on the impartiality of nation’s media. No state should be allowed to ban independent and free Medias. The West should provide direct help to build free media worldwide. 5. The need of a democratic opposition should be secured in international convention, binding on all nations. A recent phenomenon damages the essence of democracy in old democracies. Democracy has its shortfalls. Lack of enthusiasm reduced citizens’ participation in politics. The abundance of freedom and tranquillity reduced the urge to involve in politics. That is witnessed in ever decreasing number of voters in national elections. It undermines the soul of democracy and gives un-proportional share of power to extremist few. If that tendency is not reversed, the rights of minorities will be at risk. We saw the referendum of banning Islamic Minarets in Switzerland. The vote of approval of this Stone Age subjugation of minority rights is passed by 57% of 53% of the registered electorates. That means 30% of the eligible voters. It is clear that the Swiss extremists manipulated and massaged their system to their advantage. Democracy rather than majority rule is nowadays a minority rule. Well focused minority kidnaps the Western democracy and if that bias is unrestricted, we will lose all the rights associated with democracy bit by bit. In conclusion let me leave you for your perusal conventional and essential rights glorified in the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS. Learn them and gauge your government with them. How many of these rights are spoiled, how many are never heard in your state, and how many are known to the public. It will tell you where your nation is at the world league of good governance, transparency and democracy, all crucial ingredients of basic human rights. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

The last piece appeared on January 2, 2007, and in the same day Haatuf publisher Yusuf A. Gabobe and editor Ali Abdi Dini were arrested in connection with these articles. The articles appeared under the title "How different is president Rayale´s style of governance than that of late president Egal" and were written by Haatuf´s reporter Mohamed-Rashid M. Farah who is still in hiding. The articles begin by comparing how late president of Somaliland Egal and the incumbent president Rayale fared in terms of the practice of nepotism and corruption. The following excerpts of the articles relate to the charges of defamation of the president brought by government prosecutors against Haatuf editor Ali Dini, Haatuf reporter Mohamed-Rashid Farah and Haatuf Borama correspondent Mohamed Omar Sheikh. Yusuf Gabobe was charged with obstructing police officers from carrying out their duties and inciting Haatuf staff against police officers who on January 2, 2007 stormed in to Haatuf headquarters and made the arrests. Haatuf 1282 edition (December 10, 2006) "President Egal practiced corruption but he utilized it for buying political support and not for self-enrichment. Egal treated public funds as his own. He was generous with everybody else except members of his family, subclan and clan. Egal the president was not susceptible to nepotism. He kept his children relatives and clan members at a distance. His children and relatives were not allowed to live in government properties or use government owned vehicles. Close relatives were forbidden to use the name of the president to further their own interests or to help others secure government jobs. His young cousin Wali Daud Egal who worked for the ministry of Finance dared not to ask for promotion or launch his own business. Egal refused to live in a house granted to him by the state. He chose to stay in the premises of the presidency and forsake the house which is now the residence of the governor of the Bank of Somaliland Abdirahman Duale. By contrast president Rayale practiced both corruption and nepotism. He used government money to buy properties. Rayale´s practice of nepotism is evidenced by the following: A. The exclusive rights for fishing in the coastal area stretching from Lughaya into Zayla to Almis Fishing Company, a firm owned by one of Rayale´s kinsmen. Almis Fishing was one of 10 prospectors who applied for fishing license to operate in the same zone which is rich in shrimps. But this whole lucrative area has since been declared off-limit to operators except Almis Fishing. B. As Egal´s vice-president Mr. Rayale lived in a state-owned house, located behind the parliament building. After becoming president in 2002, Rayale moved to the presidency. But instead of handing over his previous residence back to the state, Rayale invited a man called Osman Sheikh Abdi to live there. Osman Sheikh Abdi who happens to be from Rayale´s Awdal region doesn´t work for the Somaliland government. But he still occupies the house vacated by Rayale while many high-ranking government officials including cabinet ministers and speaker of Parliament have to live in rented houses. While Egal forsake the house given to him lawfully by the state so that a government official could live there, Mr. Rayale acted differently when he was later confronted by similar circumstances.. C. Unlike Wali Daud Egal [during the rule of his cousin Mohamed Ibrahim Egal], Osman Sheikh Abdi has [since Rayale took power] become so influential that a word from him [to the president] could be detrimental in deciding who should be nominated for or sacked from senior positions in the Somaliland government. Officially, Osman holds the job-title of project officer for NOW [the National Organization for Women which in effect is headed by president Rayale´s wife Huda Barkhad]. Osman is also the chairman of HOPE Fishing, a company that was established following a [mid 2005] visit that he and the first lady had made together to Cairo (the company is a constant subject for gossip in Borama with some people saying that the business is actually owned by the first lady). Osman also heads HOPE Construction and the Huda Foundation which in 2005 funded the establishment of 2 more wards in Gabiley hospital. Although Osman owns a Toyota Surf vehicle, he however uses a government owned pickup. Osman uses his influence with the first family to promote his interests. Because of his connections he gets whatever he wants from government officials. For instance HOPE was awarded [this year] a contract for building a new terminal for the government-owned Somaliland National TV without bidding. Osman also got a contract to implement construction works at Hargeysa airport in a similar manner. Boats operating under the name of HOPE Fishing were fishing illicitly off the Lughaya-Zayla coast earlier this year [2006]. Almis Fishing [local agents for a flotilla of Egyptian trawlers] complained to the ministry of Fisheries, the ministry of Interior and the Coastal Guards about the intrusion of HOPE boats into their exclusive zone. But after all these departments failed to redress the complaint, the military commander of Somaliland troops at the western coast Mohamed Hudhuun took action by seizing the 3 [Egyptian owned] boats. The move against Osman´s clients was possible only because Hudhuun happened to be a close relative of the owner of Almis shipping, Idiris Unaaye. Since Rayale became president the number of Awdalians holding key positions within the government has increased significantly. Moreover, there have been noticeable efforts at ensuring that government officers from the region who were recruited during Rayale´s time as vice present retain their positions. But the increase has not been equitably distributed among clans in the region. For example the Reer Nuur to which both Osman and the first lady belong, received more jobs than the rest including Rayale´s Jibril Younis. The disproportionality is obviously the work of Huda Barkhad and Osman. Members of the Reer Nuur recruited after Rayale´s ascendancy: 1. Osman Abdi Sheikh, project officer at NOW (Besides his business and portfolio as the presidency´s point man and most valuable crony) 2. Abdi Dahir, Director General of Finance, Somaliland Army. 3. Saleban Hussein Odyare, head of Installations section at the Hargeysa Electricity Power Station 4. Farah A Abokor, Director of Finance, National agency for drought prevention 5. Ahmed Nuur Goud, senior staff member of NADP 6. Rashid Abdi Ege, administration and finance, Somaliland Police headquarters. 7. Hassan Mohamed, Finance and administration, SNTV 8. Cabdi-Samad, Secretary of Vice-president. 9. Mohamed Musse Mohamed, Treasurer, Abaarso Customs point 10. Hassan Nuur Faahiye, director general, ministry of Posts and Telecommunication. 11. Abdillahi Qasim, Berbera Airport manager 12. Farah Saeed, director, finance and administration, National Printing Press 13. Mohamud Ahmed Barre, appointed honorary member, house of Guurti. 14. Col. Olow, Counter-terrorism unit, Awdal region. 15. Ahmed Omer Dahir, Surveyor, Hargeysa local government. 16. Musse Adan Jama, Auditor general office. Members of Reer Nuur in government employment who receive special protection 1. Harun, Foreign Exchange Unit, Berbera port. 2. Mohamed Dahir, Finance police, Berbera port. 3. Ahmed Daud, Director General of the ministry of Finance. 4. Abdi Musa, manager of Customs, Hargeysa Airport 5. Mustafa Essa, Land revenues, Hargeysa Office. 6. Mohamed A. Bade, Customs officer. 7. Abdillahi Hassan, Customs officer. 8. Yusuf Ga´an, Somaliland Bank officer head of government voucher payments dept Haatuf 1290 edition (December 19, 2006) Properties, undeveloped real estate, vehicles and farm illicitly acquired by Mr. Rayale and his wife: As vice-president, Rayale built himself a house villa in his home town of Borama. The first lady Huda Barkhad bought two pieces of land located each behind Maansoor hotel in the northern part of Hargeysa city and near Ambassador Hotel to the south. Each is estimated to cost over $10,000. The plot behind Maansoor hotel was purchased through [the well-known] real estate dealer, Aga weyne. But as shown by Hargeysa municipality documents, the title deed for the plot situated near the Ambassador was issued in the name of Sa´ado Barkhad, a sister of the first lady. A farm located to the east of Amoud University and owned by the Barkhad family was extended for 300 meters into the perimeters of the campus illegally by the first lady [Huda Barkhad]. A dispute arose between the first lady and Amoud over the misappropriation of the university land. She however employed the power of the state to coerce the university into succumbing. She also misappropriated a community water well located to the east of Amoud university. The well was built with funds donated by SCF-USA. The first lady had rebuilt her late father´s old 3-bedroom house in Borama into a villa. The external perimeters of the old house had been extended by 10m, thereby blocking a road passage that has been essential for commuting to and from the town´s livestock market. As evidenced by local government´s documents, the first lady bought two large plots near Fouad Arab´s automobile repairing workshop. Miscellaneous aid material intended for widowed mothers has been diverted by the first lady. The material which was brought by [expatriate] Ahmed Kooj has been stored by her in the building owned by Haji Nuur and located behind the southern fence of the presidency. The material was originally delivered to the presidency for distribution to the target group members. President Rayale bought a two-storey villa in Cairo, Egypt. The building is located in a neighborhood which is residence for many of the families of former senior officers in the now-defunct Siyad Barre´s regime. [Mohamed] Omer Jees [former Barre minister] is a neighbor. The Cairo villa is inhabited by some of the president´s children who include Barkhad [son], Warsan [daughter], Mohamed-Amin [son], and a nanny called Umal-khayr Qawrah. The three children were taken to Cairo on June 2005 to study there. An elder son, Abdirizak, is currently in England where he attends college. The president´s wife has illicitly acquired vehicles that belonged to the government of Somaliland. The vehicles include: A 4WD pickup donated to the government by the NGO SCF-USA [shortly] before closing down operations in Somaliland [in 2005]. While still under SCF use, the vehicle carried plate number 015. The pickup has now been issued a new private plate number which reads SL 20621 and a new traffic document whose serial number is 022701. The traffic registration document shows the owner of the vehicle as Ilhan Barkhad, sister of first lady Huda Barkhad. Two Toyota Prado vehicles which were among five donated by the UK government to Somaliland´s Counter-terrorism police were misappropriated by Huda Barkhad. One of the two vehicles has been registered with the traffic in the name of Ilhan Barkhad under serial Nr. 023776 and plate number SL 21696. The other Prado which has been given the plate number 21698 is used by the first lady herself. Haatuf 1302 edition (January 02, 2007) A Toyota Mark II Saloon which belonged to the presidency was sold by the president´s wife to the ministry of Public Works. Before being purchased by the ministry, the car had government plate number GT 220. Now it has a private plate number SL 19856 and a traffic registration document number 021906 in the name of Ismail Mussa Haybe, a relative of Public Works minister Saeed Sulub. The original color of the car has since been changed from silver to grey. According to sources in the presidency and the ministry of Finance the proceeds of the sale were given to the first lady in cash. The vehicle is currently used by Saeed Sulub´s family. A mini bus was purchased by the presidency in 2004 for the transportation of subordinate staff at a cost of $7,500 and against a market rate of $4,500. However our investigations reveal that the mini bus which bore a private plate number SL: 12634 was purchased in Borama from one of the first lady´s close relatives." On 12/12/2006, the presidency issued a press release signed by Rayale´s spokesman, Abdi Idiris in response to the corruption allegations published by Haatuf. The statement began to say: "There is no government house or vehicle given away by the president …. Nor there is a fishing zone that has been designated for the sole use of a particular company." The rest of the statement consisted of general term denials. "Nobody has permission from the president to practice nepotism …. The president doesn´t condone nepotism." But the statement did say that since becoming president, Rayale appointed not a single Awdalian to a senior post within the presidency. It did concede however that as vice-president of Egal, Rayale did recommend some Awdalians to the presidential staff. Haatuf published the whole statement on the front page of its 13/12/2006 edition On January 4, 2007, Abshir Hassan Hashi, former chief of motor transport unit at the Somaliland presidency and ex-confident of the first lady Huda Barkhad, talked to the press by saying that all the corruption allegations published by Haatuf were true. He disclosed this at a press conference in Bar Haraf Restaurant in Hargeysa. All the Hargeysa based newspapers and the TV broadcasters were present except the state owned ´Maandeeq´ newspaper and Somaliland National TV. Hashi said he resigned from his job on March 24, 2006 after what seemed to be a fallout with the first lady Huda Barkhad. Hashi, who had been working for the Rayale family long before Dahir Rayale became Somaliland´s vice-president, said he was witness to a lot of corruption incidents during his days at the presidency. He revealed that he executed financial transactions involving purchase of vehicles and real estate. He also confirmed that the first lady illicitly acquired public funds for the purchase of plots in Borama and Hargeysa and that he concluded these real estate deals on behalf of the presidency. He showed reporters a lot of documents to substantiate his revelations. "These are the files of the real estate procurements. This one is for the plot at the Masalaha [near the Ambassador hotel]. It is registered in the name of her sister. We had purchased it from a woman called Shuun Limaan through 2 real estate brokers named Abdi Dheere and Abdi Laangadhe," said Abshir Hashi confirming that the first lady bought a piece of land for her sister Sa´ado Barkhad from tax payers money. Abshir Hashi also confirmed the sale of the Mark II Saloon by the first lady to the minister of Public Works. "Imagine a government entity selling government-owned car to another government department," he said. "The minister Saeed Sulub paid for the car from SRA (Somaliland Road Authority) funds and I received the money [on behalf of the first lady]". Mr. Hashi also identified the first lady´s mother, Khadija Yusuf Tub-haye as the person from which the presidency had purchased the mini bus bearing plate number GT 508. He disclosed that the amount paid for the mini-bus was actually $9,000 and not $7,500 as reported by Haatuf. He also estimated the market price of the mini-bus at the time at $4,000 or $5,00 less than quoted by Haatuf. Hashi also confirmed that the first lady grabbed land belonging to Amoud University for the sake of extending her father´s old farm. "The Barkhad's farm now consists of two parts: the original farm which has been located down the valley and a new extension that resulted from encroachment on the elevated land belonging to the Amoud University in Borama." Abshir Hashi said the Barkhads farm has been illicitly extended for 400 meters and not 300 meters as reported by Haatuf. He also disclosed that the president´s Cairo home cost $250,000 (Two hundred fifty thousand dollars). Abshir Hassan said that he would testify in a court of law about the corruption exposed by Haatuf if guaranteed a fair dispensation of justice. "It´s regrettable that while Bill Clinton admitted his extra-marital relationship with Monica Lewinsky, president Rayale is unable to come forward to confess that he actually bought a house in Cairo" he said while commenting on the arrest of Haatuf Journalists, Yusuf Abdi Gabobe and Ali Abdi Dini. "I don´t know [Yusuf] Abdi Gabobe personally and never met or had contact with him. But I have been amazed by Haatuf´s ability to expose some of the corruption happening at the presidency. Their story was so real that I thought that they might have stolen my documents. Of course they didn´t. I couldn´t keep silent after the journalists were arrested for telling the truth. It is just not fair," he concluded. Source: Haatuf Daily News (Somaliland.)

FINANCIAL SCANDAL MAY DERAIL DEMOCRATIZATION PROCESSES OF SOMALILAND@@@ WHISTLE BLOWER is MR CLEAN?? Who is the whistle blower? The whistle blower is Mr. Mohamed Hashi Elmi, the former Minster of commerce and Industry of President Riyaale’s Government and what is the story all about and to whom does public money belong to? The story is about corruption and mismanagement of public funds and abuse of official powers. Mr. Riyaale the story is not that Mr. M.Hashi.Elmi is not that he is the worst teamwork player in your cabinet as stated in your letter terminating his ministerial position, but I believe you initiated this action because you know that he is the best loved PUBLIC SERVANT in your cabinet. And do you know why, because the public are confident that Mr. Mohamed Hashi Elmi has never and will never embezzle public funds intended to finance public services for the citizens of Somaliland. He knows well that a tax collected from the public belongs to the public. Mr Riyaale our citizens have not yet recovered from the trauma and depression they contracted in the refugee camps for a period of 10- 20 years for most of them, while still many others including those who liberated the country ‘Mujahidins ‘are living with health problems and 95% of them are still unemployed since the time Somaliland reclaimed its Independence and a scandal of such magnitude will erode their confidence to your government.. Why didn’t you terminate those ministers who siphon public funds, rob the land of the orphans, Somalilanders who are internally displaced in the country, the most vulnerable people and of course Somalilanders who are away from the country as ASYLEES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. You should have terminated the Ministers who fabricated cheap propaganda against the leaders of opposition parties and their supporters for TERRORIST ACTS WHICH they have not undertaken. Such a stupid propaganda can cause political instability. If you insist to keep characters of that nature in your Cabinet which is contrary to the CONSTITUTION, we will have no option but to impeach you in accordance with the approved rules and regulations of the Republic of Somaliland. As a young elected President, who is wielding the responsibilities of a President and Prime Minister’s for the poorest country in the world, you should have given priority how to manage the meager resources of the country economically, efficiently and effectively. Unfortunately your government decided to manage the country ON AD- HOC BASIS instead to the merits of the CONSTITUTION and related approved financial rules and regulations. And that is wrong and illegal Mr Riyaale and we will not accept as our President if you do not lead us in accordance with the prevailing rules and regulations of the country. The difference between you as an elected President and the War-lords ARE AS FOLLOWS;- 1. You were elected by the population of Somaliland on the basis of your political Party’s Agenda of developing the country in a better manner than other political parties and in compliance to the constitution of the country and relevant laws; 2. In the case of WARLORDISM there is no Constitution and other approved rules and regulations approved by the community which they have to comply, but instead the community are forced to comply with directives of their warlord and his gang; 3. From this analysis, it is clear therefore that you are promoting WARLORDISM PHILOSOPLY which is simply dictatorial strategy based on implementing any directives you and your cabinet dictate irrespective of the laws of the country. In this case you are actually managing Somaliland affairs AS TRUE REPLICA OF General Morgan & Maslax days. You know well how we refused that system and defeated. We will not accept un constitutional acts from your government and you should release all those imprisoned without the due process of the law. Don’t you know that it is constitutional to demonstrate peacefully against your government? We want you to administer the country on the merits of the constitution. Our citizens voted for the constitution and not for stupid directives `called security measures. Whoever advised you to initiate the measures you have taken against the demonstrators has actually impeached you and will shorten drastically your term as leader to this country. Mr. Riyaale, Mr.Mohamed Hashi Elmi’s findings are correct and supports the Audit-trail which I called ‘xisaab-wareejinta hagaagsan’ of which the intention was to orientate the public that there are taxes collected by government but not accounted into the books held by the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL. The materiality of the sum involved is significant and could be 70% of the budget amount which Mr.CAWIL presented to the parliament. I did not include in my assessment significant funds misappropriated or wasted by civil servants and corrupt politicians either from direct taxation or indirect taxation. We can make a reality the budget of Somaliland government $50 million without sweat ( with the prevailing capacity of the ministry of finance and on condition every penny is accounted to the legal books held by the Accountant General) and plan to target a budget of $70million after improving the operations of the Ministry and employing more qualified staff. Where is ambassador Awil, I thought anyone with such respectable title will comply with rules and regulations of his country and will not lie his statements. If Mr. Awil has read the Constitution and the approved Financial Rules & Regulation and Accounting Procedures why he did not tell you that IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 55 OF OUR CONSTITUTION annual budgets can only be presented to parliament after the AUDITOR GENERAL audits the Final Accounts and such accounts discussed in Parliament and approved (Audited accounts of the preceding year i.e. 2003). 5 weeks passed since the findings of Mr Hashi were disclosed to the public. Where is the re-action of the government? We want answers from the following offices how the $ 16million has been spent or where it will be found in safe haven: 1. H.E.Minister of Finance; 2. H.E .Minister of Planning; 3. Auditor General (who is in normal circumstances be accountable to you, but his appointment and termination should be approved 2/3 of Parliamentary support. This Office, The Minister of Finance, Director General’s Office and the Accountant General’s should have advised you that Mr. Hashi was CORRECT NOT TO PASS THE ANNUAL BUDGET TO PARLIAMENT for approval, BEFORE AUDITED FINAL ACCOUNTS IS REVIED AND APPROVED BY THE HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT. How can the Chairman of Parliament submit the Budget proposals to the House of Parliament for discussion and approval in a manner that is not in COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTITUTION, FINANCIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS AND THE ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES OF THE STATE? Mr. Riyaale if these offices failed to tell you how to comply with financial policies, it is than obvious that corruption has been legalized by the most powerful SERVANTS OF MY BELOVED POOR SOMALILANDERS. As a matter of fact these are the offices who failed you if you have not colluded with them in their campaign of looting the taxes collected from one of the poorest populations illegally; 4. Director General of the Ministry of Finance (the most powerful civil servant in the country today, because economic management system is not being implemented i.e. the constitution, Financial Rules and Regulation and the Accounting Procedures. For example Article 55 of the constitution clearly stipulates that ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE GOVERNMENT CAN ONLY BE SUBMITTED TO PARLIAMENT FOR APPROVAL ONLY AFTER AND AN Audited Financial Accounts for previous year budget appropriation has been satisfactorily approved by the parliament; 5. Governor of the Bank of Somaliland Central Bank is also acts as a CASHIER OF THE PRESIDENT FOR TAXES COLLECTED BUT NOT DEPOSITED WITH THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL’S CENTRALIZED ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. SUCH ACCOUNTS ARE MANAGED BY THE BANK AND THE PRESIDENT. And it is most probably this area where Mr. Mohamed Xaashi ELMI GOT THE STATISTICS OF THE NUMBER OF LIVESTOCK THAT HAVE BEEN EXPORTED FROM BERBERA AND HAS MULTIPLIED WITH THE RATE OF TAXATION i.e. $ 3, 605,300. To my knowledge all taxes from livestock were DIRECTLY deposited to an account in the Central Bank and this was kept outside the central accounting SYSTEM WHICH IS MANAGED BY THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL’S OFFICE even during Egal’s government. And that practice was illegal, wrong and should be corrected immediately; 6. I have written about the magnitude of THE PREVAILING CORRUPTION PRACTICES AND INJUSTICES WITHIN SOMALILAND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION over the last 4 years and it was only Mr.Doodi ( THE FORMER Minister of Finance) who refuted my findings on the lack of proper system to track down Central Government Assets, since the Accountant General has not submitted any audited final Accounts in which statements specifying assets where-about, to whom assigned, annual depreciation rate condition and value is updated regularly. In his a press release he stated that proper records kept are for public assets and his statement was bogus AND sheer lie, because asset records were not maintained at the time and many moveable assets were diverted to personal properties by poorly underpaid civil servants and corrupt politicians. And NOW Mr. Cawil’s assertion that Mr. Hashi’s findings that $ 16million collected as revenue is not accounted into the government accounting books is a sheer lie. Such funds were wrongly kept in a bank account administered by the Governor of the Central Bank and the President even during Egal’s era. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROVED Financial Rules and Regulations and Accounting Procedures of the State that system in question was wrong and illegal( PSE REFER TO MY ARTICLES OF XILWAREEJINTA HAGAAGSAN WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN ALL THE SOMALILAND WEBSITES AND NEWSPAPERS in August 2003 and in particular Hargeysa.org and Jamhuuriya 2001 &2002); 7. Other Revenues that have been kept outside the ACCOUNTING BOOKS MAINTAINED BY THE ACCOUNTANT AND WHICH WAS EITHER BROUGHT TO THE AUTHORITIES AS PHYSICAL CASH OR DEPOSITED INTO BANK ACCOUNTS ADMINSTERED BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE BANK ARE AS FOLLOWS;- - Taxation and profit sharing of oil products imported by Total to Somaliland for the period 2001,2002,2003 & 2004; - Periodic physical cash from the manager of the port of Berbera; - Livestock exports; - Periodic physical cash from Berbera and Kalabaidh Customs; - Periodic cash from Airports 1997,1998,1999,2000,2001, ( I have no clue how this revenue was being managed in the year2002,2003 &2004) and Central bank exchange of currency profits; - Revenues earned by the National Press; - 10% of sales tax for Local Governments, if not paid to the LGs which normally payable to the LGs periodically. Mr. Riyaale the pre-requisite to render effective and efficient Public Services is to assign the responsibilities of the various divisions’ only men and women with INTEGRITY and not with a gang of VULTURES as the case is now. This strategy will never prolong your leadership of Somaliland government, it will rather shorten your period as President of Somaliland and I am ready to support the majority who are disgusted and willing to REMOVE UDUB FOR EMBEZZELING THE PUBLIC FUNDS MAINLY THROUGH THE FOLLOWING AG.ENCIES:- 1. Ministry of Finance which comprise of Director General’s Office, Accountant General’s Office, Comptroller of Customs Office, Internal Revenue Office and the Budget department; 2. Auditor General’s Office; 3. Central Bank; 4. General Manager of Barbara Port and the Presidency Office which the port mgt is accountable to; 5. Monopolistic TOTAL Company that imports all petroleum chemicals to Somaliland and accountable to the Presidency; 6. Airports which accountable to the Ministry of Air Transport; Recommendations: 1. All revenues and grants received on behalf of the central government of Somaliland should be accounted into the books maintained by the Accountant General’s Office as per the approved financial rules and regulation and in accordance with THE accounting procedures of the state; 2. The Governor of the Bank should not be a signatory of such accounts, but instead the Account General should be the signatory so that all transactions are recorded into the books held by the Accountant General; 3. The Governor of the Bank and the Office of the Presidency has to submit a statement of account for the sum of $ 16million immediately; 4. An Independent commission that examines statement of accounts to be submitted by the Governor and Office of the Presidency accountable to you and to the parliament be appointed as soon as possible. Conclusion: As you the major cause of civil war in Africa is corruption and blind justice and it appears our government contracted the killer diseases. Mr. Riyaale, if you refuse to treat such diseases with the help of the Legislative body, the Judiciary and The Opposition parties, Somaliland will be a FAILED STATE. UCID &KULMIYE will never let you do that, so let us address the issue in a way that will enable us resolve our problems and such we are urging you to appoint a taskforce that will improve the capacity building of the Institution in the economic sector.
