AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF SOMALIA AND JUBBA DELEGATION

An agreement had been reached by the Somalia Federal Government and Jubaland Administration in Addis Ababa today after lengthy talks facilitated by Ethiopia. The finalized agreement on the nature, name and structure of the federal state in the south of Somalia will be signed tomorrow.

Since Somali government opposed the result of the process in which Jubaland people elected the president and vice-president on May 15, 2013, Somali people interested peaceful solution of the impasse were waiting the recommendation by the IGAD technical committees who met both the government representatives in Mogadishu and Jubaland official and the opposition group in Kismayo.

First, in term constitutionality of the process in which Jubaland 500 elders elected president, committees found both groups’ claims were based on different interpretations of the constitution since the provisional constitution did not define properly how to go by forming regional states.

Committees did not find faulty in either claims by Government officials reasoning on why the process was not constitutional nor did they find incorrect in the reasoning by the Jubaland official of the constitutionality of their process since there were a lope holes in the provisional federal constitution of Somalia. As result, committees urged both the government officials and parliament to clarify those articles relating to formation of the regional administration and the government’s role.

Second in term of inclusiveness in the process, the committee found that the major clans in Jubaland state participated in the process but some minority group were missing from the scene and urged the government to take a leadership role in reconciliation process to insure the process is inclusive.

However, Jubaland officials insisted the process was inclusive and is open to be included anyone willing to participate peacefully and will insure the minority group will be included to be members of both parliament and ministerial positions being elected in coming weeks.

Finally, in term of government taking leadership role in the process, IGAD committees found that the government did not participate in the process of forming regional administration even though they were invited several time and Jubaland official is still offering government to participate in the process and to take its role.

As result, IGAD committees recommended that since Jubaland officials acknowledged the need of the government’s leadership role in the process, IGAD official is calling on all Jubaland stakeholders to participate reconciliation meeting being planned to be held in Mogadishu by Somali federal government to find final solution through dialogue.

It was reported that Jubaland officials accepted all the recommendation by the IGAD committees including participating conference in which Somali Federal Government is being planned to be held in Mogadishu to come up solution in which Government would take its leadership role.

IGAD government members and international communities are aware that after over 20 years in conflict in Somalia, the only solution forward to attaining lasting solution in Somalia is through dialogue among Somali stakeholders led by the government official based on the provisional constitution.

It hard to understand that why now President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon, after obtaining recognition and financial aid by the international community, seem to want solve any issue though their own interpretation of the provisional constitution of Somalia where even few days ago, President called on Somaliland that it is a time to come to Mogadishu and unite rest of Somalia seemingly forgetting the on-going negotiation between Somalia and Somaliland in order to reach final solution.

It is known by all that Somali people will no longer accept any governor sent from Mogadishu to run their affairs and Somali people expect the government to implement provisional constitution and encourage any two or more regions trying to form regional administration. IGAD and Aminson

troops committed to support Somali government to implement national stabilization plan through serious dialogue among all stakeholders.

All in all the voices of Somali people have been heard and Somalia’s leaders have reached an agreement. First, I want to congratulate both negotiating teams for their extraordinary service and their determination to reach a compromise that is acceptable to all sides. The people of Somalia everywhere should be thankful for this agreement. I always believed that we are capable overcoming our problems and putting the interest of Somalia ahead of the interest of clan or personal. Now that both the federal government and Jubaland administration have made serious commitment, we Somali people must help them to make it work. I want to thank the Ethiopia government, IGAD and the international community for their role of making this peace agreement possible.

                                                            

                                                           Peace Guul Somalia.

Is it the right time to sign Oil deal?

The signing of the new Somali government’s first oil contract with an untested company linked to a British peer raises concerns about whether the dash for oil wealth will destabilise the east African country. but is it the right time for the government to sign the deal?

Michael Howard, the former leader of Britain’s Conservative party, has spearheaded the first oil deal with the new government of Somalia, a country destroyed by two decades of civil war, piracy and terrorism.

In May both Mr Abdirizak and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said they would not sign any oil deals until the petroleum bill and the new constitution were made compatible, but they have now abandoned that stance. “We realised we had to take a different approach,” said

Mr Abdirizak

There has been a recent influx of oil companies to Somalia, but the country has been offered only a 7% share of the proceeds from the exploitation of its oil.

This problem was foreshadowed by the former Somali President Mohamed Siad Bare, who famously said: "I will never sell my oil for 5%, or even for 10%, as long as Somalia is not getting the best deal."

 Late last year, Somalia caught the attention of foreign oil companies by announcing it intended to auction some of 308 newly delineated oil blocks this year.

The world’s leading oil companies are increasingly accepting that their quest for new reserves will take them into challenging new territory. In regions such as the Arctic, the problems are technical

Attempts to carve up oil blocks before the Mogadishu government even controls the whole national territory are undermining efforts to bring peace and stability to a state that has been shattered by 22 years of war and that exports terrorism. The race to lay claim to resources risks triggering wider conflicts: regional authorities have been hostile to central government since the 22-year military dictatorship of Siad Barre. When he was deposed in 1991, warlords carved up the country – and several clan-based militias still hold sway, sometimes cutting deals with al-Shabaab.

The danger is that the race for oil will feed a destabilising rivalry between Mogadishu and other regions – some still influenced by former warlords – just as the international community is celebrating progress. UK ambassador Matt Baugh says the situation remains “very, very fragile”. Rival administrations have issued several companies rights to a clutch of overlapping oil blocks, redrawing the political map of Somalia in line with their own interests.

The federal system combining shared rule and self-rule is also reflected in the draft Provisional Constitution provisions on land and natural resources. The regulation of natural resources and their use is subject to negotiations between the Federal Government and the Federal Member

State governments – see Article 44. With regard to land, the draft

Provisional Constitution allows the Federal Government to develop a national land policy that provides for equity in the allocation of land and the use of its resources as a national standard but needs also to provide for the freedom of the Federal Member States to formulate their own regional land policies – see Article 43.

The protection of the environment is a priority duty of the Federal

Government, but the Federal Member States governments equally have a duty for the protection of the environment and the Federal Government needs to consult the Federal Member State governments when adopting the general environment policies of the country – see Article 45.

On an international level, disagreement between Kenya and Somalia over their maritime boundary has also created what one diplomat terms a “triangle of confusion” reaching across 120,000 square kilometres.

Kenyan troops defend the port of Kismayo, south of Mogadishu, notionally in support of the Mogadishu government, but Somali officials worry Kenya is keener on securing oil rights.

Lord Howard, who joined newly formed company Soma Oil and Gas as non-executive chairman only three months ago, signed the deal in Mogadishu, the shelled-out capital of Somalia where al-Qaeda-linked jihadists mount regular suicide bomb attacks, during his first visit there on Tuesday.

Interest in oil and gas exploration along the east African coast has surged after commercial quantities of oil were discovered in Kenya and Uganda along with gas in Tanzania and Mozambique further south sending many wildcat explorers into high-risk nearby prospective areas including Somalia.

“Because of the obvious reasons it’s very much underexplored,” Robert Sheppard, Soma’s chief executive who is also an adviser to BP, told the Financial Times after the signing, citing the many security issues.

His company, formed this year, will put armed guards on board ships to ward off Somali pirates who have previously commandeered vessels and demanded millions in ransom pay-offs.

The weak new government, the most representative in years, said earlier this year the broken state was too fragile to risk oil exploration because it was likely to pit different regions and warlords against each other. UN investigators also said in a report this year that inconsistencies in the legal framework regulating oil “risk exacerbating clan divisions and therefore threaten peace and security”.

Mr Sheppard said he believed his survey would instead increase stability by helping generate revenues. He said Soma will undertake a seismic survey costing “north of $20 million”, largely offshore in deep waters, with right to explore onshore as well.

As the UK, Norway, Turkey, Qatar and others vie to gain influence in Somalia’s oil-rich waters, analysts fear big-power oil politics could put its fragile recovery off course. A UN panel of experts cautioned in a report last month that oil could lead to conflict between rival groups – some of which have previously been allied to al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadists – and threaten peace.

“[Oil] companies should cease and desist negotiations with Somali authorities,” the UN panel said in last month’s report to the Security Council.

The Somali cabinet has already approved the Somali investment bill. "For obvious reasons, we have been starved for foreign investment for decades," Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon said when signing the bill June 10th. "Anyone looking at our economy today knows how much we need it in all sectors. Investors need a secure legal framework and that is what we will provide."

Somali people expect lawmakers to debate the proposed law within the next month before the parliamentary recess. "It is a good opportunity if parliament passes it at a time when an increasing number of foreign investment proposals are reaching parliament.
