Guban View: Will Chairman Kahin Save Kulmiye—or Bury It?

Lewis Center, Ohio – The Kulmiye Party crushing defeat in the 2024 presidential election was a clear verdict from the voters—particularly in the Northeast regions, including Burao–where Chairman Mohamed Kahin’s stronghold was. After 14 years in power marked by corruption, lawlessness, bad governance, and economic stagnation, the voters have spoken. Yet instead of reform, Kulmiye’s leadership is locked in a petty power struggle. In Hargeisa, two rival factions are engaged in brinkmanship over who will take control and attempt to rebuild the party.

Kahin, 72, is a veteran politician and former Interior Minister who has served Somaliland for many years. Under the party’s rules, his position as chairman automatically makes him the presidential nominee—without competition. This process is undemocratic, resembling a Soviet-style system, and gives Kahin and his loyalists near-complete control over party operations.

However, the election data tells a different story. The Kulmiye party received fewer votes than expected from Northeast regions—Kahin’s own political home turf—garnering fewer than 9,700 votes there. By contrast, most of the party’s votes came from the Northwest regions, over 108,000, including the most populous region, Maroodi-Jeex. Despite his prominent role as Interior Minister, the majority of his constituents rejected Kulmiye in 2024, instead voted for pro-Somalia candidate Cirro and the Ictisaam infected Kaah party. In fact, his political base has eroded, the coalition that once backed Kulmiye has collapsed, and the party risks irrelevance unless it changes course.

Many voters have serious concerns about the security and public safety of the country since Cirro took office. They feel “buyer’s remorse” because Cirro is not up to the job. Cirro inability to address the lawlessness, violence ravaging the nation, and the blatant interference of Somaliland territorial integrity by the weak Mogadishu government and their tribal proxy in East Sool, illustrate that he is either incapable or someone else is running the presidency.

So, if Cirro is not actually running the government, who is?

There are, of course, the people around Cirro. Some of his family members—like his wife, Fardus Robleh, who toured the DP World run Berbera port right after Cirro’s inauguration; Cousin Jama “Gabuush” Abdillahi, —who have been especially close since he won the presidential election; and Rhoda Abdillahi, Jama’s sister, a nurse aide, whose husband became a deputy Government Minister, and she bought a 10-bedroom house in “Isha Boorama’ ward, right after Cirro took office. She used to live in a shanty two-bedroom rental apartment near Hargeisa Central prison.

People elected Cirro and not Gabuush or his wife. We want to know his title and capacity. We have the right to know what Gabuush is doing at the Somaliland presidential office or Foreign Ministry. Did he work for the Somaliland government, or President Cirro? What is his position? Is he an agent for the so-called Federal Government?

Jama Gabuush, Somalia apologist, is a man with a shady background and corrupt business and political ties to the so-called Federal Government in Mogadishu, UNSOM, Christian faith based NGOs, private contractors, who run parallel governments to undermine self governance of African countries. His biggest business plan is to make the area surrounding Hargeisa airport and a beachfront real estate in Berbera a highly fortified posts like the “ Halane” of Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital

Violence and lawlessness have prevailed since President Abdirahman Cirro took office. This week, a masked gunman killed two young adults at a busy bus station in Hargeisa, Somaliland. The killer remains at large. Initially, no press conference from the Minister of Security, police Chief, or the Harg...

It’s preposterous this week for Cirro to talk about peace, brotherhood, and unity among the Somaliland people in the rural district of El-Afweyne. Cirro has undermined peace, the rule of law, and the territorial integrity of our country for the past seven years.

Here are examples of how Cirro has undermined Somaliland’s security and territorial integrity: He denied that he lost the 2017 presidential election to sow division and hate. He called his supporters to riot. In 2018, he supported the insurrection led by the renegade Colonel Aare, who took arms against Somaliland. On December 19, 2022, he orchestrated, aided, abetted, and colluded with the insurrection in East Sool, which constitutes sedition and treason.

Mr. Cirro, where were you when, on August 11, 2023, the thug Ofwarren ambushed and killed Somaliland’s finest policemen?

Ofwarren,Cirro’s cousin, is a brutal thug who has committed heinous crimes for the past three decades. He must be brought to justice. He lives comfortably in the high-crime area of South Hargeisa under the constant protection of Somaliland police, the same police officers whose bodies he killed and desecrated! Somaliland should use whatever force is necessary to defeat these criminals!

Has Cirro condemned the armed Gar-Xajis militia, part of his security detail, that ambushed Somaliland police officers at Gacan Libaax National Park on August 11, 2023, killed 15 policemen, and wounded dozens——the deadliest police attack in our history?

Cirro is a fraud, a liar, a Somalia apologist, and unfit to serve as Somaliland’s president,

Somaliland oo wadadii burbuka qabsatay!

Maxay ku dhacday in Ilaa iyo hada JSL aysan lahayn Booliis iyo Xafiis Xeer- Ilaaliye oo shaqeeya?

Ma laha Laan Dembi-baaris oo ay Ka shaqeeyaan dad xirfad leh.
Taliyaha Booliiska ma aha ma aha nin aqoon u leh hawlaha Booliiska loo igmaday.

Sidaad ula socotaan Taliyaha Booliiska waa nacas dheer oo sanad dhan been ka sheegayey dagaalkii Las-Caanood, oo Cirro/ , Xirsi iyo Xaashi Mooraan ay qayb Ka ahaayeen.

55% Booliiska JSL waxba ma qori ama akhrin karaan!

Qof aan wax qorin ama akhrin Booliis ma noqon karaa iyadoo ay jiraan kumaankun high school Ka soo baxay oo aan shaqaynin?

Sababahaas awgeed, Somaliland waxay noqotay mesha keliya ee addiunka dilaha, tooga , kuwa dumarka kufsada, ay Ka xuquuq badan yihiin dhibaneyaasha(Victims).“Hardcore criminals have more rights than the actual victims”

Cadaalada ay dhibanayaasha helaan ay tahay mag ay odayaal wada qaybasadaan.

Tusaale ahaan, 3 maalmood ayaa la joogaa dilkii Col. Cabdi Cali Nuur. Ilaa iyo hada maxaa loo saari layahay magaca iyo sawirka eedeysanaha iyo warbixin ku saabsan dilka sarkaalka, Sarkaalkan oo nabada ka sugi jiray xaafada Maxamed Mooge ay Ka dhacaan dembiyada ugu badan Hargeisa( The highest crime area).

Wadankan fitno iyo is-idil bay taageerasha Cirro/Xirsi/ Xaashi Mooraan cadeysteen!

Dilkan wuxuu la mid yahay dilkii labo sarkaal oo ciidamada JSL Ka tirsan ee uu nin Xirsi-Gaab Adeer u yahay uu ku dilay iyagoo hurda duleedka Buuhoodle, 2012.

Reerihii laga dilay labada sarkaal waxa igu maqaal ah in Dhiigshiil ayaa mag laalush bixiyey. Ninkii dilay labada sarkaal waxa hada uu ku nool yahay Buuhoodle!

Waxaan filayaa reerka marxuumkan in lacag Telesom/ Hormuud ama Dhiigshiil ay bixiso lagu aamusin doono.. Wadanka baahi badan ayaa ka jirta oo qof iimaan leh oo keliya uu ka bixi karo.

Somaliland dad hogaaminaya ma laha karti iyo aqoon xilka loo igmaday. Waa dad diinta waxba aan ka garanayn, waxba walbana ay xalaal u yihiin.

Cirro iyo qashinka uu shaqeeya dawladnimo, sharci, iyo kala dambayn dooni maayaan. Somaliland inay h**e u socoto dooni maayaan. oo ay aqoonsi hesho.

Taliyaha Booliiska iyo Wasiirka Amniga waxa aqoon ay u leeyihiin hawlaha Booliiska, sharciyada, sugida nabadgelyada ( Public Safety) ma jirto. Waa guulwadayaal u shaqeeya Cirro iyo Xirsi Gaab oo ah eey ay ku shaqaystaan( Attack Dogs).

Waxaan loo baahan yahay in dadka doonaya dawladnimo, kala-dambeyn inay bilaabaan dood kulul sidee wadankan looga badbaadin shuftadan isa soo bahaystay.

Fadlan maskaxdiina tuujiya sidee Cirro/ Xirsi/Xaashi Mooraan fawdada ay wadaan looga hortegi karaa?

Mise sidee dad doqon” stupid” ah baanu daawanaa?

“ Qaniinyo baa qaniinyo kaa jarta.” Cilmiga Fisikiska, “ Xoog walba xoog leeg oo Ka soo horjeeda ayuu leeyahy.“

War wax iska celiya, haddii kale Cirro/ Xirsi/Xaashi Mooraan iyo waxa la mid ah ha idin rartaan. Luqada dadka cawaanka ay fahmaan Waa xoog iyo is dil( Violence). Sidaas bay iyagu ugu badisaa!

Dadkan sharaf leh ma aha. Waa dad soo qaatey mashruucii ay JSL ku kala diri lahaayeen! Waxyaabaha ay soo maleegayaan ayaa Ka sii daran.

Waa inaan ka hortagnaa. Haddii kale waxa ku talin doona ganacsato/ Ictisaam adeegsanaya doqonka Cirro iyo Xirsi-Tuug!, Xaashi Mooraan. Taasina ma aha wax aan aqbali karno.

Amid reports that President-elect Donald Trump’s administration may consider recognizing the self-governing coastal region of Somaliland as independent from Somalia, Somali Ambassador to the United States Dahir Hassan Abdi wrote an op-ed arguing that the US should support a unified Somali state.

But the ambassador’s argument relies on numerous inaccuracies. Those are detailed below.

1. Somalia currently has territorial integrity, and recognizing Somaliland would break that integrity. The Somali government does not currently have territorial integrity. Islamist terror group al-Shabaab still controls parts of the country. Somaliland has not been functionally a part of Somalia for decades. And Puntland and Jubaland frequently defy Mogadishu. Arguments premised on fictions are irretrievably broken

To war criminals; you can run, hide, but you won’t escape from justice!

Ali, aka “Tukeh,” had been residing in Springfield, Virginia, and served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Somali National Army and Commander of the Fifth Brigade in Northwest Somalia from approximately May 1987 to July 1988. The Somali National Army committed numerous serious human rights violations against civilians during that time, including the arbitrary arrest and ex*****on of suspected political opponents, the burning of entire towns, the unlawful use of landmines and the destruction of water reservoirs to target the civilian population.

No “Blood money” if you kill a police officer!

These political panhandlers do not represent anybody. This group was paid by the Pro-Somalia Wadani Party for their November election campaign. It is another playbook for Waddani to give aid and give comfort to the hardcore criminals.

Here the background that they’re talking about. Armed thugs, belonging to the security detail of Cirro took positions at Gacan Libaax National Park.On August 11, 2023, they ambushed JSL police officers, killed 15 policemen and wounded dozens——the deadliest police attack in our history.

Among the dead was Captain Ahmed Abdillahi who recently finished police training in Britain. He was one of the few officers from the marginalized Gabooye community, in the Somaliland police. The armed thugs posted online a gruesome video showing the desecration of the co**se of the officer who was shot in the head.

The police officers were executing their duties to protect the public and keep the peace after an armed group took positions at the Gacan Libaax Mountains.

President agreed a deal involving “Blood money” for the victims of the Gacan Libaax ambush, which was anti-law enforcement, anti-law and order, and for pro- criminal.A group of rogue partisan Clan elders and corrupt merchants with ties to Wadani Party were behind the bad deal.

President Bihi was wrong in the first place to accept the anti- police bad deal. Now, he is right to change his mind and demand for a special prosecutor to take over the Gacan-Libaax ambush investigation.

Every day the Bihi administration fails to bring justice to the perpetrators of the massacre, deepening the sense of chaos and confusion.

We must bring to justice the police killers and those obstructing justice by facilitating “Blood money” for the killing of the officers. Somaliland should use whatever force is necessary to bring justice to these savages!

For the good of the country, Oof-wareen, the ringleader of that ambush, must be killed or captured. Law and order must prevail in JSL!

No “Blood money” for killing police officers. If you kill a law- enforcement officer executing his or her duty you must die. Period. That should be the law!
