Last nineteen years is long time of period during this time Somaliland has achieved domestic policy but not external apart from view activities.
If we look at the internal policy, Somaliland has been passing many obstacles into different dimensions. Starting from the public conference of bureo on May 18 1991, Somaliland reasserted its independently with in the boundaries of Somaliland protectorate The republic of Somaliland was declared, and A/Rahman Mohamed Ali was appointed the first president of Somaliland. The president chose Hassan Essa Jama as his vise president.
Two years later in conference of Borama in the 1993, Mohamed Ibrahim Egal was appointed the second president of Somaliland. After the end team A/Rahman Mohamoud Ali, president, chose SNM veteran A/Rahman aw Ali Faraha as his vise president. President egal quickly moved to established the institutions of a state in Somaliland . all grievances among the various groups were reconciled and the militias were disarmed . Somaliland chose democracy and peace as a way of rebuilding of Somaliland from the ashes. President egal was re elected by clan elders in 1997 and appointed Dahir Rayale Kahinas his vise president. Egal initiated the process by which Somaliland would have democratically elected leaders at all level of government. First step in this direction was the referendum on the constitution. This officially proclaimed Somaliland as sovereign state. Egal died on may 3, 2002 while undergoing treatment in South Africa. In a swift transfer of power that was widely praised, the vise president, Dahir Rayale Kahin was sworn in the office as Somaliland’s third president.
Than president Rayale, established a timetable for elections at the local legislative and presidential levels. The Somaliland constitution allows only three national political parties. in December 2002 , local elections resulted in the birth of multiparty democracy in Somaliland . From six competing parties, three parties remain which were UDUB, KULMIYE, and UCID so these three parties became Somaliland’s three national political parties. Under the current constitution, no other party are allowed the leaders of these three parties contended for the presidency in presidential election which was held on April 14 , 2003 the first such election in east Africa in its entire history . .
The election which was observed and assisted by many international observers was deemed free and fair. The national election commission declared that UDUB receive the majority of counted and verified votes and the Kulmiye party was second in the running. The current president Dahir Rayale kahin thus won the election, becoming the first ever direct elected president in history of Somaliland. In accordance the schedule set out by president Dahir Rayale kahin, parliamentary election, where 82 members were elected to Somaliland’s lower house, was held September 2005. This completed Somaliland’s transition to democracy. In addition Somaliland has succeeded in established unique democratic institutions which is exemplary in Africa its bicameral parliamentary is combination of both traditional and modernism. The guurti (senate) consists of traditional elders, whereas the house of representatives consists of modern day elected representatives. The judiciary is independent and the press is free.
Somaliland achieved an enviable measure of peace and stability, a great deal of economic reconstruction was also achieved. The infrastructure is being rebuilt democratic institutions are established and consolidated to encourage economic growth; Somaliland authorities eliminate all restrictions on the private sector and community-based initiatives.
Somaliland achieves all these with out any external assistance. Much is done, but ever more remains to be to done. Therefore, Somaliland has made tremendous progress in domestic policy and everyone knows that Somaliland is today has built their internal affairs.
But, the most problematic aspect which the most of the Somaliland’s politicians and intellectuals have a great deal of obstacle against is that they must seek the recognition of their country as far as somlilanders have been waiting for them, so the politicians emphasis internal policy instead of the foreign affairs. There are many work-shops which held in Hargeisa, one of these was Preliminary workshop for Somaliland intellectuals on recognition. Held on Sunday19th August 2009 at Mansoor Hotel, Hargeisa, Somaliland
Its discuss topics were:
What has been achieved since the last 18 years as far as it concerns the foreign policy?
What are the challenges facing the Somaliland’s recognition?
What is the ideal way of addressing the issue of recognition?
What is the impact of the lack of recognition to the society?
Despite of most politicians have been telling the community to the recognitions will come after short period. The second president H.E Mohamed Ibrahim Egal (god bless him) said in front of the community after his trip to USA. He said “I knocked every door but no one responds to us” so that a clear voice was sent and heard by politicians and intellectuals confusing the Somaliland community with out targeting where problem is.
Let us see the fact with open eyes in order to achieve the external policy most of the politicians always saying the division is must. So that is right but the dialogue is open in the worlds foreign policy do not forget the southern Somali is our brothers we share blood, name ,language culture and country. Why don’t politicians and intellectuals shoot the most problematic aspect?
