Xog caddeynaysa aqoon darrada, musuqmaasuqa, budhcadnimada, madmadowga iyo aduun uruursiga lagu sheego wasiirka arrimaha dibedda JSL md. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar

Xogtan naxdinta leh ahna qoraal baryo iyo baroor badan uu safiir sharafeedkii JSL u fadhiyey South Africa Professor Iqbal Jhazbhay usoo direy wasiirka arrimaha dibedda JSL Md. Mohamed Abdillahi Cumar balse uu ka dhago adeygey wasiirku.

Nuqulkan qoraalka ah oo muujinaaya talo xumada wasiirka arrimaha dibedda JSL, asagoo ka dhago adeygaya baryo iyo baroor badan oo in muddo ah kaga imaneysey safiir sharafeedkii JSL u fadhiyey South Africa Professor Iqbal oo weydiisanaaya in kharashaadkii xafiiska JSL ee South Africa uu xaqqa u lahaa miisaaniyadda wasaaradda arrimaha dibeddena ugu jirtey wasiirku si dhakhso ah u siiyo, balse safiirku kala kulmey jawaabo qalafsan, isku dhiidhiibid badan, farsamo xumo madmadow musuqmaasuq badani ku jiro, dulmi, ceeb iyo magac xumo weyn uu wasiirka arrimaha debeddu usoo jiidey xukuumadiisa iyo qaranka JSL.

Kharashaadkaasi oo muddo laba sano ku dhowaad ah laga haystey Safiir Iqbal Jhazbhay, si foolxunna wasiirku u warwareejinaayey, safiir Iqbal xaalkiisuna baryootan gaadhey, wasiirka iyo kaaliyihiisuna isu dhiidhiibeen, taasoo niyad jab weyn ku abuurtey safiir sharafeedka kuna kaliftey safiir Iqbal inuu amaah ka qaato qaraabadiisa iyo bank ku yaala South Africa sidii uu danaha qaranka JSL ugu fulin lahaa.

Safiir Iqbal oo ah diblomaasi iyo aqoonyahan caan ah in mudo ahna xilkaasi hayey, dawladihii horee Somaliland soo mareyna mudnaan iyo sharaf kala kulmey, qaranka Somalilandna hawlo badan oo culus u qabtey kaalin weyna kaga gudbanaa JSL ayaa wasiirku ku yidhi kharashaadkii xafiisyada JSL ee dibedda waa la dhimey, kharashaadkii loogu talo galey xafiiska South Africa wasiirku safiir Iqbal ku war galiyey in la dhimey oo $1000 kun dollar laga dhigey, taaso ah arin xaqiiqda ka fog waayo miisaaniyadii wasaaradda arrimaha dibedda ee wasiirku gudbiyey waxaa safiir Iqbal ugu jirey kharash gaadheya $5000 shan kun oo dollar bishii.

Safiir Iqbal oo niyad jab weyni ka muuqdo ayaa usoo jawaabey wasiirka una sheegay inuu arrintaasi aad uga xunyahay, iyadoo ay Somaliland u maanta u baahantahey lagana sugaayey in ay wasaaradu kordhiso xafiisyada JSL dibedda ku leedahay iyo kharashaadkoodaba maadaama ay tahay aqoonsi raadis, balse cidii go’aankaa agaasintey aanay maskax caafimaad qabta ku fekerin.

Hadaba markii uu wasiirku ku war geliyey safiir Iqbal isbedelka miisaaniyada xafiiskiisa South Africa ee been abuurka ah ayuu siduu qoraalkani cadeynaayo safiirku duuduub ku qaatey, balse aanu haba yaraatee wasaaradda arrimaha dibedda aanu ka helin kharashaadkii xafiiskiisa kuna kaliftey inuu baryootan iyo qoraalo quus iyo niyad jab badani ka muuqdaan wasiirka usoo gudbiyey, taasoo wasiirku mar walba ilduufaayey oo aanu si mudnaan leh uga jawaabaynin qoraalada safiirka.

Bahdilaada iyo budhcadnimada uu la kulmey safiir Iqbal oo ka mid ah xubnaha sare ee xisbul xaakimka South Africa ayaa markii dawladiisu iyo madaxweyne Zuma ogaadey isla markiiba go’aansadey inuu safiir buuxa oo budgetkiisuna dhaafayo $9 million oo dollar sanadkii ugu magacaabo dawlada Eretria.

Waxaa hadaba is weydiin leh, xageebey lacagtii safiir Iqbal ku danbeysay? Yaa qaatey? Ma la siiyey? Maxaa keenay in habkan xumaanta, dafiraada, beenta iyo boobku ka muuqdo loola dhaqmo nin ka mid ahaa saaxiibayaasha waaweyn ee qaranka Somaliland? Maxayse ka tahay wasiirka arrimaha dibedda md. Mohamed Abdillahi Cumar oo ah wasiir aqoonta diblomaasiyadeed ku yartahay inuu saaxiibada Somaliland fogeeyo kharashaadkoodana hoosta gashado?

Waxa iyaduna la yaab leh Madaxweynahan malaa’igta u haysta wasiirkan ee aan la xisaabtameyn, waxba ka ogeyn wasaaradan baaba’dey ee hadhka cad lays boobayo, safaaradihii JSL boqolkiiba 90 albaabada u laabtey iyadoo wasiirku ku andacoonayo inaanu kharashaad u haynin balse isagu gacantiisa ku dalbadey miisaaniyadda wasaaradda loo igmadey loona ansixiyey.

Maxaa hadaba khaldan? Ma dadkaa waalan, mise cadan ayaa laga heesayaa? Waa su’aal jawaabteedu u taallo Madaxweyne Siilaanyo.

Madaxweyne, waxay gaadhey wakhtigii aad la xisaabtami lahayd wasiirkaaga arrimaha dibedda, iyo wasiiro badan oo kale, runtana u sheegi lahayd, umadana ka qaban lahayd waayo siyaasadii arrimaha dibedda Somaliland iyo wasaaradiiba god madow ayay ku awdmeen, cid karti, kalsooni, aqoon diblomaasiyadeed, iyo isku wad taqaana aad usoo magacawdid hadii kale khiyaamo qaran, ceeb iyo magac xumo tan ka weyn ayuu qaranka usoo jiididoonaa wasiirkaaga arrimaha dibeddu.

Nuqulkii qoraalka ahaa ee naxdinta badanaa ee dhex marey safiir Iqbal iyo wasiir Maxamed Abdillahi Cumar halkan ka akhri.

Walaal Mohamed,

I am glad we could briefly speak on the phone, recently. I raised the following:

1. I shall be happy to help in every way with President Silaanyo’s visit to Addis.

I suggest you inform me of the dates of the visit to Addis and I shall fly over to give you all the back up support.

2. I am seriously considering taking leave from the University for 2 years, so that I can help SL and you to advance the case of recognition and international investment.

This will entail a focussed programme of work and action. Kindly keep this at the back of your mind, so that we can explore this in detail.

3. Walaal: Has there been any movement on the monthly allowance for the Somaliland Liaison Office in South Africa?

Kindly note that the monthly allowance for July, August, September, and October is outstanding ($16 000). Is there a person in your Ministry I could call and follow-up with? Or should I call Govornor Abdur-rahman Duale?

Kind regards, Iqbal

Walaal Mohamed,

My best wishes for the President’s up-coming visit. When in Addis, please let me know if you need support? I wonder if the mail below of 20 October reached you.

I know you must be busy. Is there a person in you ministry I can call regarding

the monthly allowance for the Somaliland Liaison Office in South Africa?

Hi Iqbal,

The visit to Addis is still pending on the availability of the Ethiopian Prime Minister, as soon as we get dates we will go. I will let you know if there is a need for additional support. Regarding the allowance, please contact our financial director on 4424775. But I can tell you that as a result of a budgetary review, a decision was made to reduce our liaiason offices aabroad and to cut the allowance. the maximum allowance from 28 July 2010 will be $1000 (one thousand) US. Our office in South Africa does not include those offices that are going away but the new allowance rate will apply.

Thank you for your up-date below Walaal Mohamed.

The news below is sad at, clearly, a critical time when more is required to advance Somaliland on the international front. In this respect,

1. Can you please get the financial director to act on the outstanding allowances (June & July 8000, August, Sept, Oct, Nov 4000 = total 12000 US)?

2. It’s a pity and unfair that I am being informed so late about this, as this has implications on the current office expenses (rent, phone, salary etc), which was advanced as part of a monthly contract for the past 4 months. This means I have to carry this debt, for the difference of 3000 US for the past 4 months (August, Sept. Oct, Nov)?

In this context, may I point out I shall with regret and a heavy heart, not be able to continue with my formal role here. I will need to undertake another project, for the time spent and to supplement my current monthly income.

I hope you will accept that the situation is unsustainable, unless another format is formulated for the Somaliland Office in SA, possibly the support of big business such as Ophir Energy SA or Telesom, etc.

I understand the budgetary constraints, but this seems to send a bad message that the government is not serious of its international relations. The current slim budget for offices should have been increased.

I await your advice to advance this crucial matter.

Thank you Walaal Mohamed for your reply below. Apologies accepted and, I understand your busy schedule.

I am glad Abdi Karim of Telesom was here and he was pleased to attend the Cape Town Telecoms conference on investments. Also, arrangements were made for the SL Ministry of National Planning’s 8-person delegation to attend a Public Administration Conference in South Africa.

In light of your e-mail below, I suggest:

1. The Ministry’s Financial Director settle the outstanding allowances. It is correctly from July to December 2010, as was anticipated and contracts concluded. $ 4000.00 x 6 months = 24 000 I will settle the expenses (rent, phone, salary etc) and discontinue the contracts from January 2011. In terms of South African law, 30 days notice needs to be given, so the rental, salary contract is discontinued. I will give notice tomorrow to discontinue the contracts. With December Christmas approaching, please prevail on to act on the money transfer at the soonest.

2. As for continuing as SL representative, I will hold the flag for the moment and will need to give this serious thought and planning, as to how I can possibly continue under this new arrangement. I will keep you up-dated.

Greetings Walaal Mohamed,

I hope all is well? I am glad to see that your UK visit worked out well.

Sorry to bother you again.

May I alert you since my e-mail below of 18th November, there has been no

movement whatsoever from your office to transfer the outstanding money below of $24 000. With Christmas approaching most offices close next Friday 17 December. I am under pressure to pay those outstanding bills and received a legal notice of 14 working days for payment.

PLEASE, urgently, let me know how your Ministry plans to settle this outstanding amount.

I noticed the Antonov plane, impounded with South African private security contractors. I have

informed the SA government of this.

Greetings Walaal Wasiir Mohamed,

Since your e-mail below of 12th December 2010, may I alert you

there has been no movement whatsoever from the Finance Ministry

or the Govornor’s office, in making the required transfer.

I am confident you will appreciate that this delay is inconvenient.

I took a loan to settle the outstanding bills in December 2010 and promised a friend this matter will be settled within 3 weeks.

Can your office URGENTLY check with the Finance Ministry and the

Govornor’s office if the money was transfered? If so, when was the

transfer done, and by whom?

URGENT COMMUNICATION 21 January 2011

Greetings Walaal Minister Mohamed,

I refer to the email below of Mr. Awale of 20th Januray 2011.

Please note the following:

1. The settlement below described by Mr Awale, covers the new allowance rate of $ 1000.00 a month from July to December, which equals $ 6000.00

2. As mentioned in your e-mail below of 18th Nov 2010, the Ministry will cover the outstanding expenses, I committed myeslf to, and paid for, such as the office contracts and related expenses. If I receive the above $6000.00, the difference of $18 000 remains outstanding, to cover the amount of $24 000 mentioned below in my e-mails.

I have explained the above in detail in my email below of 18th November 2010. May I suggest Minister that you PLEASE advance this file personally and settle it? It has created a serious inconvenience for me, as I now had to take another family loan to pay a friend, who I promised I will settle this matter in 3 weeks.

I am really sad, we both have to go through this. I hope and pray this can now be urgently settled. I spoke to President Silaanyo on the phone when I was in Juba and I avoided raising this outstanding matter, hoping it would be settled soon.

I await your urgent personal intervention and that the money can be transferred at a quicker pace via Dahabshiil.

Kind regards, Iqbal

Greatings Dear Iqbal,

May I clarify more the rates you have mentioned in your last email. in refference to my email dated 20th Janaury, 2011. I pointed out that there is two different payments Vouchers processed by the Finance department of the Ministry of foreign Affairs, one for the allowance of November and December 2011 with the new rate, and an other one of July, August, September and October allowance which is still in the process.

Since i didn’t mention the rate of the payments of July to October Allowancce which i supposed it is clear with you, our finance officer has calculated it on the privious rate of $4000 each, and therefore the Total amount of the Allowance of July to October 2010 is $16000 and it is on the process in the Ministry of Finance.

May I know if you have received it? We are approaching the end of March. Its now 8 months and no payment has been received, since July 2010.

It seems Minister, if you do not follow this up personally, I doubt there will be any movement.

I am sad this reflects badly on your Ministry’s work ethic.
