Somaliland Has Been Beaten And Betrayed By Her Own! By Ibrahim Mead
Introduction:
The author has warned long time ago about the deceit and deception Siilanyo and his regime were indulging and the lies they employed and the gas-lighting they resorted to shroud doubt the peoples rationale what they see and what they here. Gas-lighting people may run around but it cannot hide!!
This article was published in June 16, 2013 however the author decided to republish again in a summarized edited form. The author sought wise to forward a bit of advice to Mr. Bexi the president of Somaliland and the chairman of K-2 for free.
In the light of what the deputy foreign Minister of UAE declared recently that Somalia was the signatory of the Berbera deal and the UAE did not and does not recognize Somaliland! That declaration uncovered treason committed against the people and the nation of Somaliland. In this national crises situation the author wishes to volunteer this advice hoping Mr. Musa may heed.
1- Don’t even try to hide anything anymore. Don’t try to defend the indefensible
2- Don’t be spontaneous
3-Don’t be tribal
4- seek forgiveness on behalf of k-1as well as k-2
5- Rewrite and renegotiate the whole Berbera deal all over again and it should be between Somaliland the owners of Berbera and the interested party the UAE.
I think Mr.Siilanyo and his aides thought that admitting their wrongs and expressing remorse or sorrows are signs of weakness. They didn’t want to appear weak so they act callously, and ignore the national crime committed totally! That is what they did! Mr. Musa please don’t you do that.
6- Don’t even think of using sycophants, clan traders and political hacks like Faisal and others to justify devastating crime of national proportion
7- perpetrators of this national crime must be accountable for their crimes against Somaliland
8- Confession, atonement and renewal are the ways for word if k-2 government if you and your administration appreciate that!
Leaders are trusted servants of the people. When they betray that trust they become betrayers. There is a dark empty hole in the heart of the betrayers. They become sinners
“Their crime is of such enormity that it will deprive them of divine mercy and the Prophet’s intercession. On the Day of Judgment, every traitor would be raised carrying the flag of his betrayal. A caller will cry out from the vast arena of judgment, pointing to him, drawing attention to him” (Xadeeth)
Betrayal here is a presumptive contract, trust, which produces moral and psychological conflict between the people of Somaliland and their k-1 government. Betrayal is a complete break from presumed norms by one party from the other.
” Someone who betrays that contract and that trust is commonly called a betrayer.”
Betrayal is devastating and the reason that betrayal is most devastating is because most often it is a loss that didn’t have to occur. It only happens because of someone’s deliberate hurtful behaviour, or their carelessness, or their own personal weakness. Or their evil soul
Islamic view of betrayal:
Every traitor will have a banner on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: This is the betrayer of so-and-so.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
Their shame will increase even more when they meet with the Prophet of Mercy, the advocate of the sinners on that terrifying and horrible Day. The Prophet of Islam said: “God said: There are three whom I will oppose on the Day of Resurrection: a man who gave his word and then betrayed it; a man who sold a free man into slavery and kept the money; and a man who hired someone, benefited from his labour, and then did not pay his wages.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
What is the role of the people of Somaliland in this tragedy?
It is your country which you shed blood and paid all your treasure that has been betrayed. It is your most sacred thing. It is yourself and personality and character that has been demeaned and diminished. It is your identity and persona that has been carelessly and shamelessly dragged and tarnished. What the trio {the executive branch, the House of Representatives and the Guurti} have done to Somaliland burns deep inside you. You lose sleep for the anger, the shock and the disappointment. You may find yourself still not believing it’s happened to you and to your country. But it has!
When those we have entrusted with our vote, our country and our loyalty betray us, we feel desecrated deep inside. We question whether we can ever recover from this. But we must recover from this by confronting the betrayers and cause change by utilizing the power of persuasion, and persistence. It is our right. It is the country we founded with blood and treasure.It is at this moment of realization, that you will make some of the most important decisions of your entire life, rather than on your bitterness and anger. If you dwell on your anger of what they have done to Somaliland it will consume all of your creative energy and thinking, the energy and vision that you will need to come up with your next move. Don’t be trapped with anger, confusion and hopelessness. Don’t let this misery swallow you up. Take Somaliland in to a safe shore by bushing your government to right the wrongs their predecessor “k-1” did with or with out”k-2” them. Don’t wait any more.
You must persevere as we did before and stand on your ground as we did before, and continue believing that noble cause which we paid blood and treasure, which is Somaliland independence, then you, grasped the most trust worthy hand hold that never breaks.
The end belongs to the righteous
However peace and prayers
