When you do not honor the trust your people entrusted upon you. When you do not honor the will of the people and the cause and case of your country, when you betray, then others will not honor you and that was what happened in Djibouti, however I in person condemn and detest to what Mr. Geele of Djibouti did to Mr. Siilanyo.
Every Somalilander I met (I am not sure of Siilany’s Ministers) was angry and rightly so about the horrible situation Siilanyo was put; more so when he was clapping for Culuso and Geele and others. My interpretation is that what happened to Siilanyo was a punishment from higher power in revenge of what he did to Somaliland.
It seemed Mr., Siilanyo was out of it. But whose fault was that? Where were his care takers who ever his care takers are?! What did they do after the incident? I was told they thanked Mr. Geele! Thanked for dishonoring Siilanyo!? What is going on in Siilanyo’s circle?
Only Allah (swt) knows the unknown, however it seems that I prophesied what has happened to Siilanyo when I wrote the article under the title of (to day indeed Somaliland leadership is covered with shame and misery a month or so ago)
“Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves But when Allah willeth a people’s punishment there can be no turning it back nor will they find besides him any one else to protect (alraad)”
Siilanyo collected follies and let them run our affairs and in doing so our character and our cause were not only tarnished but ruined. Now they debunked him in Djibouti! Act of God can we say?!
What happened to Siilanyo in Djibouti was of his making! Mr. Geele was a foe but they called him a friend when he is not! Mr. Geele dishonored Siilanyo there but what did Siilanyo dishonor in his part? That is the question. Siilanyo dishonored the Cause of Somaliland. Siilanyo disgraced the character of his people, discounted the constitution of Somaliland, fractured the country, misappropriated public purse and property at will, humiliated, diminished and demeaned the Somaliland cause and case which hundreds of thousands of Somalilanders paid blood and treasure when he created an oligarchy administration. He betrayed the trust entrusted upon him therefore indeed Siilanyo is covered with shame and misery (Inal khizya wa soo,a calaa Siilanyo) he got what he sow not from the people of Somaliland but from Mr. Geele of Djibouti.
We humans can not understand how Allah (swt) works. Some times it comes from an unexpected quarters. What happened to Mr. Siilanyo the President of Somaliland at the coronation ceremony of Mr. Geele of Djibouti was uncalled for. It was abhorrent and I reject what seemed a setup to humiliate Siilanyo. Mr. Geele ushered Siilanyo to the public section not in the Presidents section. He made Siilanyo a laughing stock where all Somaliland haters got their moment of joy. Geele made Siilanyo a showcase where the invited head of states looked him down; some ignored the victim sitting there while Geele and Culuso of Mogadishu laughed at him but silently. Only the Ethiopian Prime Minister felt pity for him and said Hello to him! What was so embarrassing was that victim Siilanyo was applauding and gave the delegation a standing ovation when they were passing him!! Was Siilanyo aware of what he was doing and what was happening there and around him? Where were his caretakers? That scene was indeed disturbing and out of bounds
In the end, who is to blame of what has happened in Djibouti? I think that it is not the haters to be blamed for what has happened there because their policy is based on envy and hate and denial of the existence of Somaliland; I believe it is Siilanyo and the oligarchy government of his is to be blamed squarely in this.
This is the price we pay when our wisest and best of us declined or counted themselves out or discouraged to seriously participate the political process of the government. Because of this situation and in this situation Somaliland got the follies to fill the gap and ruled her wrongly!
Plato said,” The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” Plato also said, “The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to you.” Well we see it to believe it!
Thus peace and prayers
