Hargeysa (Sunatimes) Kulmiy is a crime scene now and
for ever! No question about that! Only the blind, the immoral and the
unconscionable would argue otherwise
It did not happen hundred years ago it happened immediately after the party won
the presidency! It happened to the TRUST people gave to the party and to
Siilanyo!
It also happened yesterday again with Muj. Abdirahman Abdulkader Farah, a
passionate and fervent kulmiye man who almost died for Siilanyo when his friend
and my friend Ali Marshal did not make it. [I believe that late Ali Marshal
would say, ‘I am glad I was not there, I am glad I am dead’] This took place
with the blessing and the tacit approval of Siilanyo as widely believed in
Hargeisa!
His top dogs executed that infamous and shameful act! They hurt Muj. Abdirahman
again, physically as well as psychologically! It is refreshing pain committed
in the name of that party! Mr. Siilanyo was there in the so called party
convention bragging for what many believe it was ‘Much-I-do-about nothing!’ he
must have been out of it, if not he should have been ashamed of him self!
Kulmiye is a crime scene, and that is where the perpetrator of that crime has
revisited the other day in Hargeisa, pretended as thought nothing has happened
yesterday and about a year and half ago!
I have never heard that a perpetrator revisits where he committed a crime and
in a public fashion! Mr. Siilanyo, the ex-chairman did that! But what was the
crime the ex-chairman committed and to whom? The victim of that cruel ungodly
crime was the TRUST of the masses of Kulmiyatis. Muj. Abdirahman’s incident was
an-add-on problem! When Mr. Siilanyo won the vote given to him, by those who
trusted him, he walked away from them and from the party and from the bases of
the party. In that way he committed a heinous crime against the TRUST he asked
for and thus given to him and to those who trusted him!
Trust, is the most important ingredient upon which the legitimacy, and
sustainability of a party and political systems and the leadership of those
systems are built upon. It has been learned later that this was not Siilanyo’s
culture and conviction! Wow! My Allah forgives us all!
The value of trust
Can any one put a value on trust? People both need and want to trust those who
lead them. While dishonesty and lost trust have been the failing points for
many leaders throughout the course of history, it seems that many leaders do
not pay attention to lessons learned The most damming of all is that trust is
at times forfeited for the purpose of personal gain, political aspiration and
inside agendas developed in darkness both inside and outside of a given
leader’s inner circle..(Mr. Siilanyo is a case of study here)
The violation of an expressed or perceived trust by a person or persons to
another person or organization they trusted is Betrayal, pure and simple!
Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or
confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship
amongst individuals. Someone who betrays others is commonly called a traitor or
betrayer. (Ref: Wikipedia)
“Those who faithfully observe their trusts and their covenants and who strictly
guard their payers: - these will be the heirs” the righteous will inherit
heaven (Ref Al muminoon ch.18-v, 7&8)
Trust may be express or implied. Express trusts are those where property is
entrusted or duties are assigned by some one to some other one whom he trusts
to carry out on his behalf.
Implied trusts arise out of power or position or opportunity.
Covenants create obligations. To sum up all, express and implied trusts and
covenants taken together cover the whole field of obligation owed for the
people and the country of Somaliland
Variants of trust
One question occupying the minds of ordinary citizens in the streets of
Hargeisa and else where in Somaliland today is this:
Who should I trust any more, be it a person or a government, which has great
temptations to betray me and mislead me or uses me as Mr. Siilanyo did!?
We have seen this in Kulmiye! This is so mainly because the motivations and
actions of political leaders cannot be transparent to the public with
certainty! You can not read what is inside them, but Allah does and they may or
may not know that or if the know, do they care, and when that is the case who
can protect them from the wrath of Allah!? (walciyaadu billahi)
.
Trust in general has two main variants:
Trust assessed in political terms is the so-called political trust.
Political trust happens when citizens appraise the government and its institutions,
its policy- making’ and/or the individual political leaders as promise-keeping,
efficient, fair and honest
The second category of political trust, or the so-called micro-level or
individual political-
Trust happens when trust is directed towards individual political leaders. The
individual political trust involves a person-oriented perspective whereby
citizens become trustful or distrustful of government “because of their
approval or disapproval of certain political leaders” (cited: Building
trust in Government in the 21st century
By Perik Blind UNDESA Nov.
2006)
“Allah is not shy to tell the truth” (from the Quran)
“Allah guides not the snares of the false ones” (from the Quran)
Peace and prayers for the Motherland and the sons and daughters of the Mother.
