Horn Of Africa Politics And Security Perspectives
W/Q: Mohamed Abdi Jama
Horn of Africa political situation and security perspectives ;
Somalia political situations aren't stable last 6 months , the main
issue is election problems , the somalia government mandate was ended
eight febauary, the opposition and the government failed to make a
consensus and good agreement how the country will go the elections.
The main difference and difficult problem is the somali lower house
made a law the country will back to elections process, the type one man
one vote , and the government must held within two years, they said
it's our duty when there is no other solutions outcome from political
rivalries ( government and opposition ).
International community, African union are condemned this law , and
what the parliament was made 12 April , they suggested the sides must be
back 17 sept agreement , when we over view the situation is worsening
day by day , and the security of the country isn't stable .
Ethiopia
Ethiopia is going to the road of elections , this elections
postponement last year is the center and what caused the wars between
Tigray and Ethiopian Government , that disputes and other regions ethnic
wars made that country is lower what the world is expecting, these
problems also undermined Ethiopian prime minister leadership .
We don't know how the elections are being free , fair and
transparent, when the opposition leaders are in jail , another
opposition TPLF are in the jungle , the country's security isn't stable
and government leadership isn't trustful and confidential to every
Ethiopian citizens according the internal situation of that country.
There are atrocities happened in Tigray region that was made
Ethiopian troops and accompanied alliances like Erateria, and other
governments , it's one of the painful and in humanitarian actions that
happened till the prime minister Abiy Ahmed comes to office 2018.
Somaliland
Somaliland is preparing parliamentary and local governments
elections after one month , this elections are postponed and extended
two times and more of their original mandate , the way political parties
are made selection isn't good for democracy and the country's
constitution and laws, this elections candidates selection was made the
traditional leaders and clan elders and political parties lose there
role of democratisation.
During the road of these elections the government was made
undemocratic actions , illegal arrests and the Electoral commission will
not speak , the government was added the process of the election steps
out of Somaliland elections rule and law no.91 , it seemes the
democratic society and the politicians these steps was wrong, and the
government was made its own interest , its surprise and questionable why
opposition parties must not reject these !
All in all the incoming elections is look like the elections is due
to the government's will , its shameful if this was happen and the
country will face a bad manner , and the stakeholders must be aware
what's happening in the commission's offices.
One of the other main political situations issue is the the law
no.14 that was passed the house of representatives earlier this month ,
the house of representatives defended the political rights of Somaliland
citizens, they also defended the democratisation system of the
country, but the political parties will not see there own interest with
in the law , and may be they want to oppose .
Somaliland political parties term mandate was end 2022 , before six
months of that time Somalilanders must organise political organisations
how to participate the incoming elections and be part the next ten year
political parties , the people of Somaliland and the democratic society
of the world are looking here very well and aware how the president and
house of elders will do that act.
Security perspective
Security is the main before every other job , according to this
region it's the important one because last thirty years this region is
under chaos , fragile and political unstability , wars against terrorism
and other problems .
Elections are one of the most cause security and unstability
problems all over the world , when we see the situations of Somalia and
Ethiopia it's fearful manner the incoming elections and how they affect
the security of this region.
Conclusion and our advisory is , Somaliland elections must be free ,
fair and transparent this is the only way that wasn't cause problems
and political unstability.
Somalia, the somali politicians must make a consensus and we urge
they went back the negotiations how to make a fruitful agreement that
the elections will occur and the country goes forward.
Ethiopia, Ethiopian leader must made another legacy, how his future
and the country's future must be bright and good , and the government
was held free , fair and transparent elections.
Another point is , the government must stop all political arrests
and wars, and release all the people that was influence the political
in any side and the opposition politicians that was in Ethiopian jails.
