DIGIL MIRIFLE BRUSSELS DEMONSTRATION: NEW DEAL – HASSAN SHEIKH’S FAILED POLICY IN SOMALIA

Large number of Digil Mirifle Communities from all over Europe some as far as from Northern America, demonstrated today in Brussels during the New Deal Somali Conference where all delegates are from Ex-Alshabaab militia’s and 90% Hawiye warlords.  Thousands of Rahawein community from Southern Somalia protested outside the Somalia conference cohosted by Somali Federal Government (SFG) President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.  This comes after similar large protest in Baidoa Southern Somalia.  Similar protest is planned in Columbus Ohio where there are larger Digil Mirifle communities.  No single Digil Mirifle member is attending the conference.  They boycotted all of the New Deal Process in which they call is EXLUSIVE, and private for only Hawiye clans who are now trying to use EU aid funds to loot their lands and get upper hand or larger dominance against their community. 

All of the six regional Digil Mirifle heads boycotted the conference and did not attend the conference including Bay regional administrator, and Bakool regional president.  Only present at the conference are Digil Mirifle political mercenaries like Ali Said Fiqi and Abdihakin Faqi both who are traitors for the cause of their brothers and sisters who are suffering long years of injustices and constant land grabbing.  Ali Said Fiqi and Abdihaki Faqi are culprits of the All-Hawiye government’s Politics of Exclusion against the Digil Mirifle.  They are both sell out and have ZERO legitimacy in the eyes of the Digil Mirifle community. 

The government of Hassan Sheikh is a government that hosts and gives green light to gatekeepers of the thousands of IDP hostages in government militia controlled Mogadishu.  EU and the international community are endorsing these acts of rape and forced evictions against Digil Mirifle communities. They are leading major failure of past political settlements to accommodate Digil Mirifle clan from different regions and civil society groups.

Demonstrators are officially questioning the inclusiveness of the conference as only 2 Digil Mirifle delegates were in attendance out of eighty seven. Digil Mirifle MP in Mogadishu notes, “The New Deal Somali Compact and Conference doesn’t and will not reflect the Somali people, but reflects DamulJadiid – Hawiye Muslim Brotherhood policy and interests….both Farah Sheikh Abdulkadir [theMuslim Brotherhood envoy in Somalia] and the Hassan Sheikh [Hawiye Clan Leader] hijacked the conference as both parties decided on the outcome.”

PRESIDENT HASSAN SHEIKH PUTS SOMALIA AT RISK OF LOSING GLOBAL CONFIDENCE AND AID

Amid much fanfare in Mogadishu about the completion of the disastrous New Deal Consultation, the “New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States” in Somalia was very much EXCLUSIVE and FICTITIOUS planned to deceive and fool the international community especially the European Union for the sake of scoring couple more millions of Aid Money to finance clan warfare, and guarantee that All-Hawiye domination in Somalia.   

Inclusive and participatory political dialogue is a key component of the New Deal process of assessing fragility and developing a national vision.  Just yesterday the Digil Mirifle Council of Elders voiced their great concern and grievances on how the New Deal Process in Somalia was conducted by the government and how bad the government led Hassan Sheikh mismanaged the process.  First all of the New Deal Task Force Nominated the president are all Hawiye no single Digil Mirifle members are included.  “We have voiced our concerns with the President and the Minister of Finance & Planning, they have ignored us.” Said malaaq Shiino, “ we have now cut our ties and all relations with the government.  WE ARE BOYCOTTING THE NEW DEAL CONFERENCE AND ITS PROCESS.”

Also, the Governor of Lower Shabelle Region Siidi, indicated that their community were not consulted or included in any part of the New Deal Process.  “They goverenemnt has held many consultation sessions in Jowhar, Balcad, Balat Weyne and Mogadishu, but Never in our region.”

This is comes after delegation led by Somali Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning was forced to return to Mogadishu after he tried to do what seemed last minute fictitious New Deal Consultation session in Baydhabo.  Shiine Maclin Nuurow, Bay Deputy Regional Governor told media and in press release that all of the task force delegations were Non-Digil Mirilfe, we do not have a representation.  How can we receive this delegation who has excluded us before in any of the New Deal Process?” He added, “It is not Somali owned process, it is Hawiye, single clan owned process.”

This comes after the Puntland Government established a parallel New Deal Task Force and Process that challenges the All-Hawiye Task Force in Mogadishu after they have lost confidence and trust by the Somali led New Deal Process which is one sided and all-Hawiye Process.   

EXPOSING LIARS: HASSAN SHEIKH AND HIS GOVERNMENT MINISTERS ARE DECEIVERS.

Exposing Liars: Hassan Sheikh and his Government Ministers are Deceivers.

In his speech Tuesday afternoon, Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning Abukar Sheikh Abdi Ibrahim falsely claimed that they have conducted New Deal Consultations with regional administrators in Bay and Bakool as well as Garowe.  

Today, Bay regional Administration led by Shine Macalin Nuurow has forcefully denied Deputy Minister’s statement and called it false and fabricated statement that is far from the truth.  He said that it is unfortunate and unethical for a government official to make such false statement or claim to have done a work that they failed to do.  “Our administrations were not consulted any of the New Deal Process.  We are categorically denied to participate in any of its process.  Our communities are NOT represented by any of the New Deal Process.  We therefore are not part of the process.  We call the process is one-sided not inclusive.”

Similarly, statements from Puntland Administration made similar statement denying any of the consultation activities highlighted by the Deputy Minister of Finance and Planning.  They call the Somalia Parliament members to investigate and questions Mr. Ibrahim about his false statements. 

There has not been any focus or effort put into holding broad consultations with the regional governments, various communities, and with civil society. The whole New Deal Process focus on Hawiye regions and few privileged Hawiye civil society groups with a massive exclusion of other Somali regions like Puntland, South West states – Bay, Bakool and Lower Shabelle. 

The New Deal Process in Somalia has many faults major one being – it is not INSLCUSIVE, and therefore difficult to implement.  The structure within the Somali government in view of the New Deal has many steps and directions – although it is planned by the Somali MoF&P, it is also directed and managed by the President’s Office of Policy Unit, with some directions and large interference by the Somali Prime Minister’s Office. 


The process is clearly one-sided and crowded by various interest groups within the Somali government and viewed as ways of attracting donor countries and as a new money making machines for the All-Hawiye Offices of the Somali government.
