PRESS STATEMENT

 

SUB: IN SUPPORT OF PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA ON ITS

WITHDRAWAL OF TRUST AND SUPPORT TO THE

ON-GOING DJIBOUTI PEACE INITIATIVE

His Excellencies,

Following the recent announcement by the State Government of Puntland of Somalia and its entire civil society on the withdrawal of trust and support to the on-going Djibouti Peace Initiative.

Given the prevailing atmosphere of mistrust arising from the "Mishandling" of the peace process by Djibouti.

Owing to the apparent and unacceptable acts and methods committed by Djibouti with regards to the selection of the delegates and members of the so-called civil society which is being dominated at the moment by the members of certain favored communities.

Noting the acts of exclusion, suppression and marginalzation of the main stream Somali communities being practiced and imposed by Djibouti Government.

Understanding the nature of irregularities on the selection of the delegate and the practice of hand-picking the delegates to the preparatory symposium which is now openly in favor of certain favored clans.

And the fact that, Djibouti side-stepped its previously announced policy of respecting the wishes of all the Somali communities and their regional elected Administrations, its pledge to consider the occupied regions within Somalia.

We, members and the representatives of the Somali community living in Kenya wish to give our whole-hearted support to the State Government of Puntland and its entire civil society and the members of SPA on the withdrawal of trust and support to the on-going Djibouti peace conference. We would also like to make it clear that we do not have any confidence with the so-called intellectuals who formed the bulk of the Djibouti hand-picked "Preparatory Symposium" whom we regard as not possessing the right experience nor qualification to fill the gap of the Somali intellectuals.

We would like to express our total displeasure with the way most of the genuine Somali professionals has been side-stepped, alienated and ignored by Djibouti organizers or the government of Djibouti.

Last but not the least, we are seeking the intervention of the world community leaders to withdraw or transfer the venue of the conference from Djibouti to another neutral country within the "IGAD Regions". So that, the peace initiative can be salvaged from its apparent demise and premature failure.

This conference was supposed to put the "Foundation Stone" for the Somali National Unity.

Our hope is that justice will prevail.
