Somalian leaders fix a new election model despite political turmoil in the country

After days of discussions on the election model of Somalia, President  Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and three of the state leaders along with Mogadishu have come up with an approach that the country is going to take with regards to elections.

There was a unit discussion in Galmadug state, administrative capital of Somalia, after which the members released a statement saying that members of a legislative party from each faction will elect an MP and that MP will get a seat in the parliament. MP’s for the federal house will be elected by the caucuses that each federal state will have. Each state must have three caucuses. Further, these MP’s will be electing the President of the country. It took the panel a lot to come in this agreement, nearly two months of work. But contrary to what was being predicted, the elections will not be in the shortest format rather will stretch for a long time.

Despite all that effort, Somalia’s parliament might not give this agreement a go-ahead due to the connection of representatives with the Qatari regime. The parliament also known as the House of People doubted the intentions of all those who formed the model for carrying out the elections. Leaders from Hirshabelle (Mohamed Abdi Waare), Galmudug (Ahmed Abdi Karie) and South West (Abdiaziz Hassan Laftagareen) signed the document alongside Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo. The deal was endorsed by Omar Mohamud Mohames ‘Filish’ who is the mayor of Benadir region covering the Mogadishu metropolis. Some leaders though have shown zero interest in the agreement and have chosen to ditch the meetings. State leaders of Puntland and Jubaland, have decided on not being attendees of this event after the political turmoil that took place in July this year when former Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khayre was ousted

"Tonight, in Dhusamareb, I have reached an agreement on elections with federal member states and the Banadir region which I hope will lead the country to a fair and timely election. I invite brothers who were absent during the process to join us," Somali President Farmaajo said through Twitter on Thursday night.

It was revealed that though the voting will be held in regional constituencies, it will be restricted to certain assigned areas such as the capital Mogadishu. This type of procedure is termed as Doorasho dadbada or indirect voting.

But there are concerns on how the leaders will be able to carry this out given the fact that Somaliland has been declared independent of Somali and the people there have nothing to do with Mogadishu since 1991. Somalian government over years has insisted that Somaliland is a part of its jurisdiction must have representation in the federal parliament.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
