Hoos Ka Daawo Badhsaabka G Gabiley oo Ka Haldlay …

Markii Cumbaradii baaqatay heshiiskii Xudaybiyana keenay in aan sanadka la cumaraysan waxay saxaabadii Maka laga soo qixiyay dareemay in aan riyadoodii rumoobin in mar uun ay Maka arkaan muddo dheer ka dib. Sidaa daraadeed waxa niyadooda hadh iyo habeen dhextaalay wakhtiga la ogolaan doono in Maka tagideeda. Taasi oo qof kastaa dareemi karo boholyowga uu u qabo dalkiisa tana waaba Maka oo ah dhulka halka ugu sharaf iyo barako badan.

Iyadoo hilawga  saxaabada muhaajiriintu cikraa maraayo maalin maal maha kamida oo nabiga ay la fadhiyaan saxaabo kooban waxa uu si sir ah ugu sheegay “in Allaah u ogolaaday in uu Maka furto” waana sanadkii Sideedaad. Taasina waxay abuurtay dareen dal jacayl oo aad u xeel dheer oo farxad iyo raynrayn ah. Sidaa daraadeed sababta warka dadka oo dhan loogu sheegi waayay waxa uu ahaa in aan Maka furashadeeda wax dagaal iyo dhiig ah ku daadan doonin.

Habeen kaasi faraxad iyo riyaaq baa lagu seexday balse markii waagii dilaacay subaxii waxay saxaabadu dareemeen in wax is badaleen markay arkeen wajiga Rasuulka Salaahu Calyhi Wasalm oo cadho ka muuqato.

Waxa uu  u yeedhay Cali ina abii Daalib iyo Subayr ina Cawaam iyo saxaabi kale waxaanu u sheegay in ay tagaan beerta u dhaxaysa Maka iyo Madiina halkaasi waxa sii socota gabadh waxayna sidaa warqad ee ka soo qaada iina keena wayna dhaqaaqeen saxaabadii.

Waxa la galay dareen aan daganayn iyo warwar in farxadii waynayd ee la sugayaayay wax iska badaleen iyo warqadaasi warkeedu waxa uu yahay iyo xaalada xigi doonta.

Saxaabadii gabadhii way gaadheen waxayna u sheegeen in ay warqada ay sida keento waxay tidhi waxba ma sido wayna dafirtay waxay u sheegeen in haddii ay warqada soo saari waydo ay baadhidoonaan dhamaan. Markii ay aragtay in xaaladu adag tahay way ka soo saartay warqadii timaheeda dhexdeeda.

Iyadoo warkii la sugaayo ayay saxaabadii yimaadeen golihii rasuulku Salaahu calayhi wasalam buuxo ayna  hareera ay fadhiyaan Cumar iyo Abiibakar iyo Xaadib ina baltaca haddaba bal sawiro warqadii oo saxaabi saxaabada kamid ahi akhrinaayo oo ay saxaabadii ku xeeran tahay lana sugaayo waxa warqadaasi ku qoran

“Ka socota Xaadib ina baltataca ku socota reer quraysh ogaada Nabigu salaahu calayhi wasalam wuu idinku soo duuli doonyaaye”

Nabigu waxa uu waydiiyay Xaafid ibnu Abii baltaca maxaa kugu kalifay in aad sidaasi samayso. Waxa xiisaha lihi waxa weeyi rasuulku salaahu calayhi wasalam qofkaa sirtiisii fashiliyay sida fudud ee uu su’aal fudud iyo daganaan bilaa dagaala u waydiiyay aadna moodo in uu cudurdaar u raadinaayo.

Wuxuu ugu jawaabay rasuulkii ilaahayaw halkaa waxaa ii jooga xaaskii iyo caruurtii oo reer quraysh u diideen in ay soo haajiraan waxaanan doonanay in aan quraysh gacan ku yeesho maadaama aanan cid ehel  dhawm ii joogin Maka in intaasi reerka iigu ilaaliyaan maadaama muhaajiriinta kale mid kastaa ehel u joogo maka.

Rasuulku Salaahu Calayhi wasalam wuu aamusay aamus aad u dheer bal hadaba sawiro fadhigaasi saxaabadii ayaa mid mid ahi hadlay waxaanu yidhi xaadib munaafaq buu noqday, arrinku wuxuu siiba adkaaday markii Cumar yidhi rasuulkii Ilaahayaw ii ogolaw aan qoorta ka gooyee, Xaaladu waxay maraysaa meel adag

Nabigu salaahu calyhi wasalam wuu aamusan yahay walina waxaad moodaa in uu fikiraayo oo uu sawiranaayo xaadib kumuu ahaa sanadihii ina dhaafay ee sideeda ahaa mid mid in uu u dul istaagay oo uu soo gaadhay sandkii labaad oo ay dhacday dagaalkii waynaa ee Badar

“Nabigaa hadalay waxaanu yidhi Cumaraw maya maxaa ku ogaysiiyay in Allaah daalacday kooxdii badar oo uu ku yidhi waxaad doontaan sameeya waan idiin dambi dhaafeee”

Bal Sawiro xaaladaasi iyo xaaladii lagu jiray, Xaadib baa dib u soo noolaaday Marka lagu leeyaya waa raxmada caalamiinta oo dhan waa taasi oo miidhan tuhun kastaa wuu libdhay. Hogaaminta heerka u sareeya iyo miisaamida xaalada iyo isla akhrinta tagtadii hore iyo dhacdooyinka jooga. Xaadib wuxuu galay xaalad kale iyo jawi ka fog kii hore hadalkaasi awgii.

Hadalkaa nabiga saxaabi kastaa waxa uu ka murooday hadal kasta oo uu yidhi dhacdadaasina sidaasay ku dhamaatay. Wanaagu waa kaasi Haddab cid kasta oo aad dhibaato ka dareento Ogow oo xasuuso wanaagiisii hore iyo sidii uu kuugu dhibtooday aabo, hooyo, qoys, walaal iyo ehel iyo jaar iyo cid kasta oo aad la dhaqanto, qof wayn marka la qeexayo waa in aad wax liqi kartaa.

Ma khalad kaliyaad ku duminyasaa wanaagyadii badnaa iyo xusuusihii wacnaa ee la soo wadda qaaatay wakhtiyo kala duwan oo barkhad iyo barwaaqo ahaa, xumaantana wanaaga haddii laga jawaabo waa jawaabta kaliya ee waarta waayo badan waana aargoosiga ugu qiimaha badan.

Dhacdo kaliya ah yayna daboolin intaas oo waxqabad iyo wanaagyo is’daba yaala. Noloshu waa macaan iyo qadhaaba inta macaan ee ubaxa leh uun waligaa sido lahawna xabaal yar oo qaladadka lagu aaso laguna iloobo. Nabiga salaahu calayhi wasalm wax kasta waxaa kala waynaatay maalintii badar waxqabadkiisii taasaa lagu aasay khaladkisii.

“Wanaagu waligaa yaanu kaa dhamaan xataa ka kaa soo horjeedaa hadduu xumaan kugu sameeyo in aan sidiisa noqoto Allaaah ka magan gal waanaagu ha waaro.”

Hoos Ka Daawo Madaxweynayaasha Biixi iyo Riyaale oo  …

Dated on 8th January 2024

Kulan muhiim, ah oo ay yeesheen qaar ka mid ah dhalinyaro aqoonyahano ah oo degen Magalaada Bristol ee Dalka UK iyo xubin sharciyaqaano ah oo Netherlands, ka yimd ayaa lagu taageeray heshiishka taarikhiga ah ee labada dawladdood ee Somaliland iyo Ethiopia ayaa ku wada gaadheen bilowgii sanadkan 2024 magaalada Addis Ababa, kaasoo ay ku kala saxeexdeen isfaham nuxurkiisu yahay kirada badda 20KM oo kamida Badda Somaliland iyo Aqoonsi Itoobiya ay u fidiso JSL.

Xubnaha kulanka ka qaybgalay Kadib, markii dood dheer iyo falanqayin dheer ay ka yeesheen heshiiskan uu Madaxwayne Muuse Biixi Cabdi la soo galay dalk aynu jaarka nahay ee Itoobiya, darseen nuxurkii hore u dhaca ahaa ee ( Memorandum of Understanding ) uu xambarsana iyo faa’iidooyinka ugu jira Somaliland, heshiiskan, oo ah in heshiiskan yahay kiro ( Naval base ) iyo isticmaalka dekada Berbera, oo ay Ethiopia kordhiso isticmaalkeegii ay hore u isticmaali jirtay.

Waxay aqoonyahanka is la fahmeen in uu yahay heshiis dano, la is waydaarsaday oo dan u ah labada dhinacba oo ( Mutually Beneficial to both Parties Signed ) iyo in uu yahay ( Successful Partnership) in lagu shiraakoobo dano dhaqaale oo ah heshiiskan macnaha ku jira oo ay ugu wayntahay in ay Somaliland hesho Citiraafkii, ay 32 sano raadinaysay iyo in ay Itoobiya, hesho 20KM bad, ah oo ay uu isticmaasho ciidamadeeda badda kaas ah Kiro oon ahayn wax siin sida dawlada Villa Somalia, ka talisa ee Amisom ilaaliso sheegtay.

Waxay isla garteen, in uu ( MOU ) heshiiskan lagu sheegay yahay ( on lease purpose only ) kiro, waxay Aqoonyahanku isla fahmeen in uu aduunka jiro ugu yaraan ilaa 44 wadan oo ( Landlocked ) oon bad lahayn oo ay wadamadaas badda lahayn ay isticmaalaan wadamo ay jaar yahiin amba ay ka kiiraystaan oo ay tahay heshiis aan Dunida ku cusbayn.

Waxa kale, oo ay Aqoonyahanku, isla fahmeen in uu aduunka jiro ( International Law ) United Nations Charte) kiisa waxa ku jira in ay mabnuuc ka tahay in uu wadan wadan kale dhulkiisa amba badiisa ku qaato xoog xitaa aanu uu hanjabi karin haddii ay dhacdo uu wajihi karo cunaqabatayn dhaqaale oo dhinac walba leh, tana waxay meesha ka saaraysa sheegashada ah in Itoobiya, dhulka qaadan karto mustaqbalka iyo hadalada ka soo yeedha dawlada Villa Somalia, ee qiil uga dhigaysa badbaa laa qaadanayaa.

Waxa kale oo ay isla fahmeen in heshiiskan uu yahay sidan hoose:

Waa fursad qaranka Somaliland, uu soo kordhay oo faa’iido badan ugu jirto oo ay ugu horayso aqoonsi buuxa oo aad ka heshaan heshiiskan iyo in aad u hiiliso dalkaaga 32 sano raadinayey aqoonsi oo ku biiri doona bulshada caalamka adigoo u hiilinaya mustaqbalka dalka iyo dadkaba.

Waxa kale oo lagu falanqeeyey kulankan Dawlada Villa Somalia ka talisa ee Amisom ilaaliso maxaa ka khuseeya heshiiskan.

Somaliland, waa dal ka madax banaan Somalia oo markii hore midnimo dhinaca Somaliland ka timid ku timid kadib ka goday Somalia, 1991 mar labaad oo intaas oo dhan ka maqnayd Somalia.

Waa dal leh, dhamaan shuruucdiisa oo dhamaystiran, dawlad iyo dhamaan hayadihii dawliga ahaa oo dhan, calankiisi, dasduur,lacag gaar u ah iyo wax kasta oo dawlad laga rabo.

Waxa aqoonyahanku hoosta ka xariiqeen in Somalia aanay lahayn dasduur waayo dal baa ka baxay waxooguna yahay ( Temporary Draft ) aanay Somaliland qayib ka ahayn xitaa Puntland oo maamul ka mid ah ay diiday (Draft kaas )

Sidaa awgeed, waxay Aqoonyahanku isla garteen in dhawaaqa Villa Somalia ka soo baxaya yahay hal bacaad lagu lisay oo ay tahay gardaro qaawan oo ay ku soo qaadeen Dawlada Somaliland.

Baaqa ay soo jeedinayaan aqoonyahankan, wuxu yahay in ay bulshada reer Somaliland soo dhaweeyaan heshiiskan taarikhiga, ah ee uu horseedaya in ay ku biiran wadamada caalamka una keeni doona dhaqaale iyo mustaqbalka ubudkiina oo noqda dad ka mid ah bulshada caalamka.

Talada ay u soo jeediyeen xisbiyada mucaarudka, wuxu yahay in ay taageeraan heshiiskan si ay hadhaw u xukumaan dal la aqoonsanyahay oo bulshada caalamka ka mid ah, oo ay nasiib u yeeshaan in ay yagu xukumaan dal ka mid ah bulshada caalamka oo dhaqaale leh.

Talada guud ee ay soo jeediyeen, oo ah in dalka loo midoobo lana diido ninka xamar ka soo qaylinaya een ogolayn in aad noolaato oo wax ku soo kordhaan.

Bal xasuusta heshiiskii Berbera sida ay uga soo horjeesteen iyo halka ay maanta Berbara marayso kana waa horumarkii ay ku diidanayeen kan iyo kuwii hore ee badana ee mawadin u hiili mustaqbalka ubudkiina iyo dalkiin.

Ilaahay ayaa mahad oo dhan leh.

Guul Somaliland

The Keynote speaker of the reception was the ‘despicable’ Oofwareen — the ringleader of the armed thugs hiding in the Gacan Libaax mountains. At that gathering, in a fiery speech, he called for inciting communal violence. He called for his Garxajis kinsmen to take up arms and start shooting members of the Bihi administration belonging to Garxajis if the election is not held on time. The party leaders, including Presidential nominee Cirro, and the whole room applauded his vile, hateful rhetoric.

Just four weeks ago we saw the result of that fiery speech. Armed thugs, belonging to the security detail of Presidential Cirro took positions at Gacan Libaax National Park. On August 11, they ambushed Somaliland police officers, killed 15 policemen and wounded dozens——the deadliest police attack in our history.

Among the dead was Captain Ahmed Abdillahi who recently finished police training in Britain. He was one of the few officers from the marginalized Gabooye community, in the Somaliland police.  The armed thugs posted online a gruesome video showing the desecration of the corpse of the officer who was shot in the head. Islam forbids desecration of the dead. In fact, in the 7th century, Abu Bakr, father-in-law of the prophet Muhammad and Islam’s first caliph, issued 10 rules to his people for their guidance on the battlefield. Among them: ‘You must not mutilate dead bodies.’

What we’re dealing with is lawlessness. Oofwareen is a brutal thug who committed heinous crimes for the past three decades. He must be brought to justice. Somaliland should use whatever force is necessary to defeat these savages!

Here are some of the catalogue of offenses Oofwareen committed for the past three decades: He allegedly murdered several women and was also involved in the violent murder of the former Hargeisa mayor’s father, for a hundred dollars. He carried out sexual assaults on teenage girls, burgled vulnerable people’s homes and businesses, and violently robbed people crossing the bridge into Dumbuluq ward.

On August 10, around 8 am local time, Oofawareen’s armed thugs attacked the border village of Daba-Gorayaale. According to the mayor of the village, the bandits took away three guns from three police officers who were sleeping while they were on duty at the police station. They also took away a further gun from a police officer at a customs checkpoint, without a fight. They looted two vehicles belonging to Halo, an International NGO working on Demining.  They also attacked Odweine township before moving into the border village.

The Interior Minister and the police chief must do their job. They have been AWOL and silent about the violence of the armed thugs who have been terrorizing our communities, and looting the NGOs that are helping our people.

Colonel Kahin is giving more priority to his presidential campaign and the Kulmiye party than running the day-to-day operations of the Ministry of Interior responsible for public safety despite the security challenges Somaliland is facing. That is a mistake, he is losing the confidence and the trust of Somaliland’s people. Every day the Bihi administration fails to bring justice to the perpetrators of the massacre, deepening   the sense of chaos and confusion.

For the good of the country, Oofwareen must be killed or captured. Law and order must prevail in JSL! We should let the Somaliland National Defense Force (SLNDF) take over this operation. This is not a law-enforcement matter. This is a very serious National security matter, and there is no room for error.

These brazen attacks are part of a well-coordinated insurrection to bring down our republic. Their plan is to cause chaos and confusion to our people, and to subvert our nation.

What we saw also the last few weeks in Gacan-Libaax, was not about people protesting election delays, bad governance, or injustice, but it is anti-Somaliland anarchists with ties to Las-Anood clan militias who are using violence to bring down our government and to undermine our peace and security. Their mission is to make the Republic of Somaliland the sixth federal member state of the struggling Somali Federal Republic, but they will never succeed.

We should address our political grievances through peaceful means and not through “blood and violence” as some Wadani leaders are advocating. If they are not part of the mayhem, they should condemn Oofwareen and his armed thugs. Cirro should also call them to stand down and face justice or the wrath of SLNDF!

More importantly, the corrupt clan elders who are calling for the withdrawal of our law enforcement from Gacan Libaax are ignorant about religion, national security, and public safety.

We should not equate our law enforcement with armed gangs. This is a reckless idea. Instead, we must send more reinforcements, including SLNDF.

The loss of the fallen police officers leaves an indelible mark on their loved ones, colleagues, and the Wadani and UCID party leaders are complicit in the violence and banditry of the armed thugs. They are plotting behind the scenes. In fact, they’re aiding the anarchists because they are not interested in taking part in elections for all political groups.

Our republic is under attack. We’re running out of time Mr. President, stop dithering and take swift action to stop the madness and lawlessness prevailing in some pockets of JSL. Deploy the special police RRU and SLNDF in order to defeat the anti-Somaliland anarchists and restore order.

Peace and order will be restored, Somaliland will prevail!

The silent war: domestic violence against women in Hargeisa, Somaliland

By: Fatima Nuur, Naima M, Hassan and Ayan Mohamed Jama

Domestic violence is a widespread threat to the rights of women. Its effects can include harm to the individual’s health, mental and emotional wellbeing as well as their social and economic standing.

In Somali culture, it is common for men to yell at, slap, ignore, or abuse their wives. Interestingly, the majority of women in rural and specific urban areas feel their husbands have the right to abuse them if they neglect their responsibilities and alleged duties.

According to the Somaliland Human Rights Commission, the number of instances of domestic abuse they have documented has increased since last year, yet the majority of survivors do not report to the office out of fear of social stigmatization. In the last nine months alone, the SHRC complaint office received 52 cases of domestic abuse, compared to 48 in 2021.

Violation of women’s rights is a violation of human rig:”:”

Most Somali men have toxic masculinity; they feel that the woman is their property and that they have the right to determine whether to throw that property away or retain it. As a result, many women have been subjected to different forms of abuse by their spouses. Hence living gloomy and miserable lives.

The typical Somali woman cannot leave her marital home because she does not have support; her family, particularly her mother and father, will constantly encourage her to stay married regardless of the situation in the marriage.
What makes matters worse is that most women are financially dependent and therefore don’t have access to money that can enable them to live on their own.

The traditional system of family dispute mediation, which is more based on a patriarchal system and denies women rights regarding matrimony, cohabitation between spouses, and custody of children, is promoted as a result of the lack of gender-informed family law and legal frameworks that protect women and their children. If women go to court the judges and lawyers will rather have the families negotiate and will never entertain their pleas and this leads to further violence, characterizing women’s daily lives with anxiety and misery.

The connection between domestic violence and cultural norms

In Somalia, strict norms that define masculinity or male honor in terms of domination are upheld. Unfortunately, the norms have a close link to violence against women. For instance, a man being nice to their spouses was seen as disgraceful in ancient times.
If a husband referred to his wife as “my dear,” among men he risked being teased and referred to as a soft man. To avoid humiliation, the majority of men never showed any affection towards their wives. Men (particularly those the remote areas) constantly sought to avoid their spouse’s company, and this was seen as a source of pride for Somali men.
Such societal expectations and cultural norms compel Somali men to be nasty and devoid of empathy and affection.

Somali society, on the other hand, has educated women to remain obedient toward their husbands and to not trouble their spouses. According to Somalis, a lady who does not wet a pillow with tears cannot provide for her family.

In the last years, Somali women have been adapting to their situations and have started to talk about the problems that are happening to them from all sides by using social media., These problems include rape that they face from their family members and the abuse that they face from their husbands. Social media has become a platform that easily connects many women who are survivors of abuse. When a girl speaks up, she gets a lot of support from other women who are or have been in the same situation, it’s great that women speak up and address their problems in a public way. However, in these social media platforms, you can also see from the comments that a large number of women and many of the men still blame the women who complain about the mistreatment they encounter from their loved ones, in most cases they accuse her of being a loose woman who is naïve and being influenced by the west, others blame her for going against the culture and religion.

Society does not understand that women have the right to talk about their problems as survivors of domestic violence, however, the generation that is currently in its 30s is mostly educated, outspoken, and knows their rights, and it is easy to encourage each other, particularly the diaspora women, to organize meetings, provide emotional support to one another,

“As women, we live in a room where every wall looks to oppress us until we die.”

Case Study 1

I’m a mother of 3 children, my ex-husband neglected us before I filed for divorce. He abandoned his children and did not want to pay any child support or be responsible for their financial needs. He used to abuse me and leave us for days without money or paying the rent. Finally, I filed for a divorce and once it was finalized, I lost my rights as a wife including my dowry.The court made him pay the child support and everything, but he used to pay it irregularly, and this made our living conditions very difficult.
After some time, he would not pay the school fees, and as a result, the children were expelled. Later, he decided to manipulate the children by spoiling them with frequent visits to their school, giving them some allowance so they could trust him. When the children fully trusted their father, he took them away from me and I no longer see them and I miss them.

Case Study 2

My husband used to beat me while I was pregnant. When I filed a report against him, I did not get justice because of the unsupportive legal system. However, I still filed for a divorce as the physical abuse continued. He eventually allowed me to divorce without hesitation. He did not face any punishment and in exchange for the divorce I had to forgo my dowry before my divorce was finalized, I thought justice would be served in my favor but instead, I lost my rightsas a wife.

The role of women in peacebuilding in family conflict:

Somali women consistently participate in peace, whether it is at the country level or family level. They play essential roles, such as mediation and reconciliation, and often compromise everything including themselves. If a man is abusive and violent with their rights, they still stay with their children to prevent family conflict. In terms of family conflict, women are often very active. They try to solve the conflict between their spouses for fear that the dispute will lead to problems such as divorce – then they would lose their children and their family. Sometimes, the two spouse’s families, the side of the man, and the side of the woman, conflict with each other, so the woman tries to bring the two families together and mediate to resolve the dispute. Still, their participation is sometimes restricted, to some extent, by persisting beliefs in male dominance, which leaves limited space for women to participate fully. Cultural beliefs and gender inequality are at the center of the impediments to full participation by women in family conflict resolution. Despite these challenges, the participants believed that women are making a positive impact in resolving family conflicts.

Prevention of domestic violence.

Somali women’s equal value and rights within the household and family must be recognized and honored, so that they can exercise their agency in peacemaking.
To stop or prevent domestic violence against women, we need to establish a just, gender-informed Somaliland family law framework that helps the court to deal with cases such as domestic violence, marriage, divorce, and child custody
Ending domestic violence requires political commitment, implementing laws that promote gender equality as well as legal and policy reforms
Awareness-raising community mobilization and capacity building
