Dear Readers,
The significant problem we facing today, can not be solved by the level of thinking we had when we created these problems. The level of thinking of hoping to create Somali union, The level of thinking of using governmental apparatuses to settle scores with other tribe. (like Bare’s regime did) The level of thinking of regarding all Somalis to have the same political attitude and the same political preferences. All of these political level of thinking which we inherited from 60’s had ensued the destruction , dissolution and the disperse of Somali people and are now surfacing up again through the road map of Somalia. In the Somali media Arena, the advocates of Somali and Somaliland to unite again are fiercely implementing a Political Cardinal Approach : It is to induce a high degree of responsiveness and to encourage the members of the political community (in this case Somali Landers ) to react in ways that facilitate attainment of the desired objective. Through the most of the Somalia TV screens, and which is exclusively to the politician, scholars and prominent figures from Somalia had poured in discussions & debate shows of Somali TV. These guys from Somalia are engaging psycho politics war with Somaliland through the television screens of which they prevaricating the true meaning of article 6 of the London Conference on Somalia which was held on 23rd February 2012, in U K and of which of fifty-five delegations of the international community had attended. they are expressing wishful thinking and deliberately presenting wrong construe and preposterous views through the Somali TV screens. It is irony to see Somali an politicians wishing Somaliland to come back to the union and at the same time taking courses of action that undermine the sovereignty and aspirations of Somaliland People. It clear that their actions will rekindle enmity and farther the gap of difference between the two country. These southern leaders are hoping that by including Somaliland as part of their political solution strategy, Somaliland may consider coming back to the unification However, Lets look at the article 6 and elaborate it more clearly to them.
Article 6. The Conference recognised the need for the international community to support any dialogue that Somaliland and the TFG or its replacement may agree to establish in order to clarify their future relations.
To debug , First part of the article: It is a request from the international communities to support the outcome of the dialogue of Somaliland and TFG may made.
Second Part: It is request from Somaliland and TFG, to establish a dialogue.
Third part: It is the key that elucidates the topic of the dialogue. it is to clarify their future relation but it is not to clarify their future, thus this is to establish quid pro quo relation and the only issues surrounding Quid Pro Quo can be discussed. Mind you if it article 6 have been written in such a way like ( to clarify their future) then every topic & issues would have been on the table to negotiate. To epitomize a familiar tone when Somali delegation went to the neighbouring country and in their at the press conferences , they usually reiterate that their mission was to advance and strength relations between the countries. Recently Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somaliland mentioned that under the leadership of Silanyo of Somaliland that Somaliland & Djibouti relations have grown stronger. Internationally adjacent countries are expected to have peace full working relations for advancement of their Security and Economic development, therefore Somaliland is looking to have international relation with Somalia. So southern guys , come on stop being political immature and attempts to proselyte the true meaning of the Article6. I wonder What word of the article do they not understand?
