July 12, 2012 · 34 Comments
The chairman of Somaliland Welfare and Justice Party (UCID) has officially relinquished his post as the presidential nominee of UCID paving the way for the youthful International Banker cum politician Jamal Ali Hussein to be the new flag bearer of the party in the forthcoming presidential election that is expected to be held in the country in 2015.
In a well-attended ceremony which was held at Ambassador Hotel Jamal Ali Hussein was today incorporated into the ranks of UCID not only as a member but as the flag bearer hence the parties presidential nominee to the jubilation’s of thousands of supporters.
Honorable Faisal Ali Warabe announced he was stepping down as the chairman of the party hence paving the way for a youthful Jamal Ali Hussein, speaking during the occasion Hon Feisal ali warabe, said that he had joined politics when he was just forty years old and during that time I have sacrificed a lot and that i am nearing sixty , i now believe time has come for me to step down and let fresh blood to take the helm of the party.
Among thousands of UCID supporters there were hundreds of former UDUB supporters from Jamals breakaway faction who mainly compromised the parties youth-wing Hon Jamal Ali Hussin was declared as the new presidential aspirant of UCID
Mr. Ali Gurey, who until today was the official spokesperson of UDUB, was among the dozens of notable former UDUB senior party officials who resigned from posts in UDUB to join the ranks of UCID.
Hon Jamal termed Hon Feisal Ali Warabe a brave and also a wise man who was always relentlessly serving the people of Somaliland no matter the cost ,I again thank for giving him the opportunity to serve my people.
The two sides signed a memorandum of understanding consisting of four points which automatically propel Jamal Ali Hussein as the flag bearer of UCID in the next presidential elections.
Hon Jamal Ali Hussin had been previously elected by UDUB as the future presidential candidate to the discontent of some party members , this caused the party to split into two camps and in turn resorting to insults been traded by the opposing factions in the media outlets.

Kayse, aint you missing the whole reality that the whole JSLD is in good control by the wise
leadership of Veteran President Silaanyo and his Govt. For the garadag council, Xirsi takes
care of, to maintain political balances throughout the JSLD at the National and International levels
and would also be a Silaanyo condidente presidential candidate for the short/long term, even if that
means replacing Silaanyo in 2015 Presidential elections?. From the HJ, so far, the good qualities and
attributes of Xirsi is rare and there are no others of his kind to excel. Therefore Silaanyo should facilitate
the means to further develop and equip Xirsi for the Presidency competion replacing him at the end
of his term. As for MR Jamaal switching from Udub to Ucid, that's ok. Let's see what goes.
Cheers.
Typo: Confidente not Condidente
Cheers.
I have to give Somaliland credit. They are having free elections every (5?) years. I am not sure how fair it is but it is free elections nonetheless. Though more non-Isaaq leading the country would look good on SL's resume. Riyale's ascendancy to the presidency was happenstance like Gerald Ford in America. I want to see other clans within Somaliland have meaningful and leading roles within the government. That would give impetus to Djiboutians to demand more from His Excellency, President for Life, Commander in Chief, Slayer of Colonel Yacin Yabe, Chief Thief of Treasurer, Ismail Omar Gelle a thing or two to be concerned about.
S/B "Chief Thief of Treasury"——-kkkkkkkkkkk. As if I need to correct myself….lol.
Go home and tel
until i see a Hart1 president who come through the ballot box not gacan kurimis president like Riyaale i don't believe in SL democracy or the difference of somaliland one clan monopoly of presidency and the two clan monopoly of Somalia. the reality is Somali people are tribal and they will be the
last people to have real democracy in this planet. we Hart1 people in the Former protectorate of British somaliland will be crazy to risk all the opportunities that we have in Somalia where the sky is the limit of what we can become and play second fiddle to one clan who the whole reason the want to secede is the don't trust us?!!!!!!!! ( D44r00d)
yes I know you have been mistreated by somaliland but seriously how can you choose somaliland over The State of the Taliban (somalia)? certainly there is no return for those hawiya terrorists they have changed. somaliland is such a beautiful state wer the Somali culture at its best.
dnt you worry bout Puntland we are more capable of defeating those hawiya terrorists with one handed.
@PuntlandGeezer…….You are diseased go seek some help! You not just diseased but also retarded. Shall I call your (Darood) (Majerteen) people ''Faqash'' just because of some regime? Alshabaabs leader is Isaaq idiot and their are as many darood in it as hawiye, clearly you lack of facts and full of garbage!! Your own Puntland autonomous state declared to be part of Somalia. It's people like you that that cause unwanted hate and division. Nor Puntland or any Somali region wants you, leave all Somalis alone you moron.
@ducaale
I certainly agree with you when you say "Somali people are tribal and they will be the
last people to have real democracy…" but having said that in Somaliland there is a democratic process in place and although it can be improved upon, it is nevertheless light years ahead of what there is in Somalia.
But let me ask (and I assume when you say "Harti" you speak of Dhulbahate and Warsangeli) do you think these clans have a better chance of getting the top posts in Somalia than they do Somaliland?
@ANTONINUSOIUS
when i say Hart1 i mean Hart1 not only the two clans you mention. coming back to your question. yes i believe that we will have more chance in Somalia. Galeydh is a living example of this. dont get me wrong i am not after presidency for my clan or anything like that what i am saying is for us it will be politically suicidal to endorse cessation not only will we have to live the the stigma of killing off the greater Somali republic dream but for what tangible reason do Hart1 have? oh yeah the 1saaq clan dont want share a country with d44rood opps!! Hart1 is D44r00d !!!!!
Ducaale,
I respect that you are at least saying how you feel about Somaliland. But who told you isaaq wants seperation because they don't want to share country with darood? that's not true, darood are not even the majority so why should we care (imagine hawiye +rahanwayn + others in the south). We gave up everything, stormed into the south chasing Somaliweyn dream and we lost everything. And now this is just a withdrawal and loss of trust in the south and also correcting the mistakes we made in 1960. We can easily join Somalia and we know how to play our card right if we do so. But we prefer to stay as two sister states, separate and independent government.
@Somaliland007
the south was led by military dictatorship just like many countries, the dicatorship made its people suffer. an example of this is Iraq:Sadam hussein burned 100s of thousands of kurds iraqs alive. right now as i write Assad of Syria is doing exactly the same. now the difference is the 1saaq brothers are not blaming the massacre on the government which included a lot all tribes including my tribe who hails from former British protectorate. to me an ideology like somaliland based on former griefs is the wrong one for creating new country. these former wounds if 1saaqs really must be healed first in order to have clear conscious to make a coherent judgement or decision that is as big as creating new country. somaliland believers must also come with persuasive or rather sensible argument or why we Hart1 should give u great Somalia dream and leave behind 95% of Somalis and join the 5%. our land is historically known and no recognition for somaliland can change the fact that we will finally determine our destiny.
s/land region don’t have real democracy(it look’s,look like democracy). it’s just abusing The name democracy,to have genuine first must.
*The addmin must represent very part in nothren somalia.
* freedom of speech & free press for all.
* every vote should be count including small towns.
These Three condition s/land failed so i don’t see real democracy There.
The Harti of Somaliland had their best ever chances political shots.
The 1st during the Gen. SiAD Barre brutal Military dictator Regime, when the dhulos was incharge of
the gestapos notorious NSS..think of INA Abdella Dafle who's still alive and should have been
an ICC Hague indicted. The 2nd, during the DJI Arta Somalia where the Khaatumo gangster
fugitive Galayr or whatever his full name is, was then the Prime Minister of Arta.
Both criminals were the only highest ranks ever in all govts of Somalia since 1960s-2012s?
And you know what, both Gen'Siad and Arta Govts were failed by the these two dhulos who have now
become known rogue fugitive criminals against their homogenous Somaliland? The bad dhulos
in Puntland are also of the same jargon. Nah, you anti-Somaliland dhulos, there's no other power
for you else where..you jargon wanderers of vindictive mischief of mother nature evils of all times.
Cheers.
I wonder why they always blame just dhubahantee com'on we not the only harti clan who against the division of the country Waroos and MJs are also against. matter of fact majority of somalis are against.
MJs are not from Somaliland. The Maakhir Waroos are more matured and different to
dealing with. The anti-Somaliland Dhuloos are the most wailers whose mischief are
everywhere…xeerna ma qabtoh wa sunbay kugu soo taagan dhaqanki mad mullah
ina abdella xasan madaxooda taalo la yidhaho khaatumo kagawada dawarsan tahay.
bal adba ka siitte?
Cheers.
Typo: Sunbo not sunbay.
Cheers.
looool u made me laugh. it doesnt matter whather they from former British somaliland or Italian they still harti. and we not more anti somaliland than waroos we just more populated that's why u see us everywhere. for example Waroos only live sanaag and parts of Bari, where dhuloz live sanag, nugaal, togdheer, Sool and kilika 5aad. the truth is we harti won't benefit anything if somalia is divided. and if somalia can be divided so is somaliland that's how we roll lol
khatumo,
"it doesnt matter whather they from former British somaliland or Italian they still harti"
inabti MJ are NOT natives of somaliland, don't be silly it does matter. If Somaliland becomes independent, dhuloz and waros will have the same right as isaaq and gadabursis, but MJs will be just like any other Somali e.g hawiye, ogaden etc unless someone is born and bred in Somaliland or is married to native SL or been resident over 10 years etc and is granted citizenship under SL law. Somaliland had its own law of who is considered native and citezen before we even joined Somalia (1960 Somaliland's constitution and law)
Whether you think you'll benefit from SL or not the truth of the matter is that darood under Ethiopia is fine but a sub harti who share a country with isaaq majority is a nightmare.
Also, all over Africa colonial borders are used to separate borders to avoid disputes because just like Somalis there is no clear lines that separate people without being all mixed up. We have issa in far west Somaliland (zeila, salal) you don't see Djibouti claiming it based on clan, do you? No.
"We have issa in far west Somaliland (zeila, salal) you don't see Djibouti claiming it based on clan, do you? No."
ok Amal i know you knowthe difference between Djibouti and somaliland but let me remind you darling. Zeila is internationally recognized Territory of Somalia Djibouti not claim it however, SSC is Somalia territory officially and the owners ( the Hart1) are claiming from the 1saaq and telling them this region will not be part of your project. do do you understand the difference of disputes between 1saaq and Har1 and disputes between Djibouti and Somalia? besides i know our people are trying to get recognition behind the backs of Hart1 one of the major reasons you failed and you will fail.
Amal I know where u coming from but somaliland is not recognised inabti and Hartis don't want to divide somalia same ways isaaqs wouldn't want to divide somaliland. isn't about who's majority or monity properly hartis have much bigger land than isaaqs (togdheer all the way to mudug) and since somaliland is technically part of somalia it always gona be Isaaqs vs hartis. don't get me wrong I'd love things to change but that's just how things are now.
plus zeila,salal and kilinka 5aad are completely different story.
im just wondering since im married to mature young women from hargeisa am I allowed to vote?
Jabooutaawi, former President Rayale may have ascended to the office upon the death of the late President Egal, but you may recall he was elected in 2003 and defeated in 2010. Serving honourably and transferring power after his defeat the ballot box. You can't compare it with the Ford scenario. Ford replaced a crooked president forced to resign before he would be impeached. One thing has nothing to do with the other. It is true what they say, a little knowledge is dangerous thing.
The process by which Ford and Riyale came into their respective offices are exactly the same. I am not talking about what preceded before their good fortunes fell on their laps, nor the aftermath of their tenure – it is immaterial and irrelevant to my previous post. Pay close attention to the nuances of my words. Indeed, little knowledge is dangerous for an ignorant person to wilfully misconstrue other people's statements.
Jabuutawi,
Somaliland had something going on before the tribalist Silanyo came to power. Him and his party beat the hell out off their second secretary because he told them to stop the tribalism and corruptions.
End of the day democracy is nothing if the people don't have a competent government thats free of nepotism, tribalism and corruption.
If Silanyo is asked to step aside, he will not until he gives the power to his subclan like Hersi Gaab.
Garhajis, Arab and Esse Muse are the least tribalist people in Isaaq; the rest will never pave the way for a man from another subclan of Isaaq forget others (Harti, Samaroon, Isse). No chance.
The only reason Riyale became president is because that was Egal's, a Esse Muse, wish if something did happen.
Silaanyo is preparing Hersi Gaab even though it should be Zeilai who should succeed him by law but now that family never had a chance to lead and now they want to ruin everything.
Faisal Ali Warabe has given up on Somaliland project thanks to Silaanyo like all Garhajis, Samaroon, Hartis, Esse Muse and Isse.
He will now go to Mogadishu to reclaim his engineering job and homes.
Welcome Jamal Ali Hussein but dont waste your knowledge and time on "Somaliland"; that tribal project will never pass the subclans.
More and more young people are flocking to Somaliland politics because they can foresee a potential in Somaliland. This new young politician will rejuvenate as well as reenergize his party which in return will be a beneficial to our young country politically or otherwise. The recent readjustments within this party was a much needed move.
Osman Qaal
I remember 1969 the last democratic election before the military coup d'etat . There were more than 10 tribe-based political parties competing in Hargeisa. Most of them failed. Now the parties in Somali land can be said to be non-tribal because tribes are divided among them. This is good because it shows that the people of Somali land are ripe politically though there is a long way to go in this direction. Democracy gives the person to choose the way he wants to live. He is after the party with the platform that matches his way of thinking in terms of personal advancement.
even thoe i dont believe somali-land as a country but either way waraabe got my vote.. lol
How come you dnt support somaliland? I think the best way somalis will have peace is if we divied somalia in too 3 pieces. Is@qs hate d@roods, d@roods hate haw!yes it goes on and on.
I don't support somaliland because I want us to stay together all of us as one big family, don't assume am qabilist or something coz of my name lol
besides that airnt true is@qs don't hate daroods nethier do Daroods hate hawiyes. it's just politicians make it seem like.
so u think we should be devided into three parts : d@rood empire, is@@qland and Haw!yeland (puntland, somaliland and somalia) that wouldn't fair to other tribes like raxanwayne and that. also daroods dont just live in puntland but south, central and north.
Tribe is termine nous some one
Which country? to Contest Next Presidential where – Somalia, Ethiopia somali region kililoch or Djibouti. Somaliand president is going to contest Mogadisho presidential. brother and sister somalilnad story is over – move on the next centure?????????
No geezer
It is interesting that Faisal Waraabe has relinquished his role. It is very self-less of him and it proves that he has the best interest of his country and people at heart, above and beyond what his own interests might be.
Kudos to him! He will go down well in history for this and perhaps now we will have a credible presidential candidate. :D
