Four opposition political parties have issued a statement about the political situation in the country, after two days consultations in Mogadishu. The parties deliberated on the latest developments and the measures taken by the Federal Government.
The official communique by Wadajir, Daljir, Horusocod and Kulan parties covers 22 articles ahead of the Brussels conference, which is expected to commence today. The communique, a copy of which has been delivered to Brussels, condemns the latest Al-Shabaab attacks on government premises and civilian areas, which have resulted in deaths and injuries to innocent civilians.
The statement also weighs in on the closure of main roads and restrictions imposed on civilians, saying it had affected the daily lives of the people and their businesses. The parties are concerned about restrictions on freedom of expression imposed by the Federal Government on politicians. They described as, violation of constitutional rights in a nascent democracy, the ban on political gatherings.
The parties also expressed concern over the escalation of the dispute between the Federal Government and the regional states with regard to the recent nomination of the 43rd Division Somali National Army without consulting the Jubbaland authority. They claim the move is a violation of the Article 20 of the National Security Plan. The parties have also condemned the Federal Government for stopping a planned meeting of 28th January this year aimed at discussing the status of the capital.
Somalia suffers from the disgraceful culture of leaders and politicians invoking deceptively legitimate documents like the Provisional Constitution for bolstering false claims and arguments or for obfuscating critical search for truth. That culture has undermined the requirement of truth, good faith, and accountability in the public life and dashed the public hope for democratic state of Somalia governed by the rule of law and democratic values.

Western Intelligence Agencies Oppose the Democratization of Somalia Intelligence Services (NISA) History documents the strong character of the Somali people associated with messy democratic rule that cherishes individual liberty, freedom of expression and opinion, Justice, and private entrepreneurship rather than with autocratic rule. British explorer, Sir Richard Burton wrote in 1856, "the Somalis are fierce race of republicans, constantly changing political loyalties – the Somalis lived in what amounted to a state of chronic, political schizophrenia, verging on of anarchy. Every freeborn man holds equal to his ruler and allows no loyalties or prerogatives to abridge his birthright of liberty." However, Somalis are docile to discipline and obedience if social mediation applied fairly. The appropriate model of government for Somalia is the democratic rule. Full Article
