Somalia: Federalism, Division and The Dual Track Policy
In September 2010 the United States announced a dual-track policy for Somalia that it claimed would broaden its capacity to engage with the Somali government and sub-state political stakeholders in order to promote peace and stability. The Obama initiative, drafted by the office of Johnnie Carson, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, has however done the exact opposite to its pledges and is only helping divide Somalia even further. Ever since it came into effect, more … Read entire article »

Are the Somali Unionists’ Predictions on Somaliland’s Collapse Crumbling under their Feet?
Dear Mohamed F Yabarag, I quickly skimmed through your opinion entitled, “Is “Somaliland” Crumbling on Ahmed Silanyo’s Feet?” published on wardheernews website because hardly was a need for me to ponder on the content of any of your “articles” for the obvious reasons. That is, for you recycling the same paper repeatedly seems to be an unwinnable contest. As always after reading one of your emotional and subjective “papers”, I ask myself: “Haven’t I read it before? Or is this just another darn déjà vu?” In any event, some of the following titles, which have all predicted the demise of Somaliland, were written by none other than yourself, Mohamed F Yabarag , Osman Hassan, and others.

Is “Somaliland” Crumbling on Ahmed Silanyo’s Feet?
Following the London conference on Somalia earlier this year in which the secessionist enclave called “Somaliland” was rejected by the international community as a separate state, some die-hardextremists in this camp are fighting tooth and nail to keep the momentum of secession going even when things seem to be crumbling right on their feet. In the aforementioned conference, the international community has clearly reaffirmed its support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which dealt a mortal blow to the secessionist’s twenty-year long quest for a separate statehood. Since the secessionist movement hadnot participated in the Kampala Accord, Growe principles I and Growe Principles II, it was reasonably logic for the international community to call for a … Read entire article »

13 defendants in khat smuggling case go to trial, allegedly imported $5M worth of the drug
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Thirteen natives of Somalia and Yemen are on trial in federal court, accused of smuggling a drug common to their homelands but illegal in the U.S. Authorities allege that for six years, the group smuggled millions of dollars’ worth of khat, a leaf that is popular in the region around Somalia and Yemen and can produce a mild high when chewed. The legal case may turn on technicalities, but it also presents a broader question of whether the government engaged in overkill by prosecuting otherwise law-abiding members of the Somali- and Yemeni-American communities for using a substance that is culturally accepted in their homelands and by some measures is no more potent than a … Read entire article »
