Cabdiraxmaan Cirro: Mashruuca Soomaali-weyn wuxuu keeni karaa dagaal iyo burbur
Madaxweynaha Somaliland, Cabdiraxmaan Maxamed Cabdillaahi (Cirro), ayaa sheegay in isku dayga lagu mideynayo dhulalka Soomaalidu ku nool yihiin uu horseedi karo dagaal iyo burbur, isagoo ka hadlayay kulan uu shalay ka qeyb-galay Golaha Xidhiidhka Dibadda ee Mareykanka (CFR) ee New York.
Aragtida Cirro ee bulshada Soomaalida
Cirro ayaa sheegay in Soomaalidu ay yihiin hal bulsho oo wadaagta luuqad iyo diin, balse aysan taasi khasab ka dhignayn inay ku wada noolaadaan hal dal. Wuxuu tusaale u soo qaatay dalalka Carabta oo uu sheegay inay yihiin 22 dal oo wadaaga luuqad iyo diin, iyo dalalka Afrikaanka ah ee ku hadla afka Sawaaxiliga oo uu sheegay inay yihiin 12 dal.
Madaxweynaha ayaa intaas ku daray in himilada Soomaali-weyn aysan dhab noqon, maadaama Soomaalida Jabuuti ay ku nool yihiin dal madax-bannaan, halka Soomaalida Itoobiya ay weli ka tirsan yihiin Itoobiya, qaybta Soomaalida ee Kenya-na ay ku jirto Kenya.
Taariikhda xornimada Soomaaliland iyo Soomaaliya
Cirro wuxuu xusay in Somaliland iyo Soomaaliya ay hore u ahaayeen laba dhul oo ay kala maamulayeen gumaystayaal kala duwan. "Somaliland waxay xornimadeeda ka qaadatay Boqortooyada Ingiriiska sannadkii 1960, halka Soomaaliya ay xornimada ka qaadatay Talyaaniga. Labada dhinac ayaa markii dambe midoobay, iyadoo ujeeddadu ahayd in la dhiso hal dal oo ay ku midoobaan dhammaan dadka Soomaalida ah ee ku nool Geeska Afrika," ayuu yiri Cirro.
Wuxuu intaas ku daray in himiladaasi aysan dhab noqon, maadaama Soomaalida Jabuuti ay ku nool yihiin dal madax-bannaan, halka Soomaalida Itoobiya ay weli ka tirsan yihiin Itoobiya, qaybta Soomaalida ee Kenya-na ay ku jirto Kenya.
Diblomaasiyadda Somaliland ee New York
Kulanka CFR ayaa sidoo kale diiradda lagu saaray dalabka Somaliland ee aqoonsi caalami ah iyo xaaladda amni ee Geeska Afrika. Madaxweynaha Somaliland ayaa intii uu New York ku sugnaa xoogga saarayay soo bandhigista mowqifka maamulka Somaliland ee raadinta aqoonsi caalami ah, taas oo si adag u diidan tahay Dowladda Federaalka Soomaaliya.
Cirro wuxuu ku dooday in haddii la isku dayo mideynta dhulalkaas ay taasi keeni karto dagaal iyo burbur, isagoo si adag u diidan mashruuca Soomaali-weyn.
President of Somaliland, Cabdiraxmaan Cirro, warned at a New York forum that attempts to merge all Somali-inhabited territories into a single state could trigger conflict and destruction, arguing instead that shared language and religion do not mandate political unity.
Cirro Challenges the Case for a Unified Somali State
Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in New York, President Cirro argued that while the Somali people share a single language and religion, this commonality does not require them to live under one government. He drew comparisons to the 22 Arab nations sharing Arabic and the 12 African countries speaking Swahili, noting that linguistic and religious ties alone do not dictate political borders.
Cirro emphasized that the historical union of Somaliland and Somalia was designed to create a single state for all Somalis in the Horn of Africa, but this goal has not been realized. He pointed out that Somalis in Djibouti live in an independent country, those in Ethiopia remain part of that state, and the Somali community in Kenya is integrated within Kenya's borders, making the original unification vision incomplete.
Historical Context of Colonial Partition and Post-Independence Union
President Cirro detailed the colonial history that shaped the region, explaining that Somaliland gained independence from the British Empire in 1960, while Somalia achieved independence from Italy in the same year. He noted that the two territories subsequently merged with the aim of forming a unified nation-state encompassing all Somali-speaking populations across the Horn of Africa.
However, Cirro argued that this unification project has failed to materialize as intended. He highlighted that the diverse political realities facing Somalis today—ranging from full sovereignty in Djibouti to integration within Ethiopia and Kenya—demonstrate that the original plan to consolidate all Somali-inhabited lands into one country has not come to fruition.
Diplomatic Push for International Recognition Amid Regional Tensions
During his visit to New York, President Cirro focused heavily on advancing Somaliland's bid for international recognition, a move strongly opposed by the Federal Government of Somalia. The CFR event also addressed broader security concerns in the Horn of Africa, providing a platform for Somaliland to articulate its diplomatic position to Western policymakers and international observers.
Cirro concluded by warning that any attempt to forcibly merge the various Somali-inhabited territories could lead to war and destruction, advocating instead for a pragmatic approach that respects existing borders while preserving peace and stability in the region. His remarks underscore the ongoing diplomatic efforts by Somaliland to secure its sovereignty on the global stage.
