Seasonal patterns are shifting. The cycles of Gu’ and Deyr that #Somali communities relied on for generations are becoming unpredictable. We are already seeing prolonged #droughts and heavier #floods, while the world remains off track in cutting the emissions driving this crisis.

Dhammeystirka Dastuurka Soomaaliya Waa Inuu Mideeyaa Qaranka — Looma Adeegsan Karo Kala-Qaybin, Muddo-kororsi, iyo keligi-talisnimo

Dastuurka ku-meel-gaarka ah ee 2012, wuxuu Soomaaliya u bilaabay inuu bogsiiyo qaran kala daadsanaa oo kala irdhoobay. Hase yeeshee, “dhammeystirkii” lagu dhawaaqay ee lagu meelmariyay musuqmaasuq iyo awood sheegasho wuxuu dib u furay dhaawacyadii iyo gocashooyinkii dumiyay dowladdii Soomaaliyeed, lagana dhaxlay dagaalkii sokeeye.

Dhammeystirka Dastuurka Ku-Meel-Gaarka ah ee Soomaaliya waxay ahayd arrin muhiim u ah mustaqbalka dalka, lana sugayay in loo hirgeliyo hab ku saleysan dastuur, hogaamin, xikmad, daahfurnaan, daacadnimo, iyo farsamo sare si loo gaaro heshiis qaran. Haseyeeshe, dadaalladii halka dhinaca ahaa ee lagu sheegay “dhammeystirka” dastuurka waxay abuureen khilaaf weyn oo ku saabsan sharciyadda, hufnaanta, iyo ujeeddada dhabta ah ee ka dambeysay.

Dadka taageerayey geeddi-socodkii dhammeystirka dastuurka kmg ee Madaxweyne Xasan Sheekh riixayay waxay ku doodayaan in dhammeystirka dastuurka muddo dheer soo socday oo laga soo shaqeynayay, sidaa darteedna ay lagama maarmaan tahay in la soo gabagabeeyo. Waxay sidoo kale tilmaameen in baarlamaanno kala dambeeyay ay ka soo shaqeeyeen qabyo-qoraalka dhammeystirka dastuurka kmg, isla markaana dowlad-goboleedyada iyo dowladda federaalka ay hore uga heshiiyeen qodobo muhiim ah sida awood-qaybsiga iyo qaybsiga kheyraadka. Waxay kaloo sheegan in dastuurku uusan ahayn kitaab Qur’aan ah oo markasta la beddeli karo; in mid kasta musharraxiintii xilka Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya uu ballan qaaday dhammeystirka dastuurka, in dowladnimada Soomaaliya ka baxayso xaaladda ku-meel-gaarnimada; in la raacay cutubka 15aad ee dastuurka ku-meel-gaarka ah ee khuseeya dhammeystirka iyo wax-ka-beddelka dastuurka, iyo in aan loo xayirnaan karin saamileyda caqabadda ku ah wax-ka-beddelka dastuurka.

Hase yeeshee, doodahaas oo dhan midkoodna sharciyad uma siineyso Madaxweynaha Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya in dastuurka ku-meel-gaarka ah lagu dhammeystiro jujuub, cadaadis siyaasadeed, ama laaluush, iyadoo laga leexanayo dariiqa saxda ah ee helitaanka heshiis qaran oo ballaaran. Heshiis dadweynaha ka dhexeeya ma beddeli karo hogaamiye markuu damco.

Dastuurku ma ahan sharci caadi ah. Wuxuu yahay heshiiska ugu sarreeya ee mideeya shacabka, isla markaana qeexaya sida dalka loo xukumayo, loo maamulayo iyo sida xuquuqda muwaadiniinta loo ilaalinayo. Kalmad kasta oo dastuurka lagu qoro waa inay lahayd macne iyo ujeeddo cad ay tahay in si wadajir ah la isku waafaqsan yahay, ku jirin mugdi.

Haddii Soomaaliya dhab ahaan rabtay dastuur ay ummadda wada aqbasho, geeddi-socodkiisu wuxuu u baahnaa inuu noqdo mid furan oo loo dhan yahay. Waxaa loo baahnaa ka-qaybgalka dhammaan saamileyda siyaasadeed: dowladda federaalka, dowlad-goboleedyada, mucaaradka, bulshada rayidka, iyo aqoonyahanno madax-bannaan oo ka kala socda dhinacyada sharciga, maamulka, dhaqaalaha, taariikhda, iyo xuquuqda aadamaha. Waxaa sidoo kale lama huraan ahayd in qabyo-qoraalka dastuurka si buuxda loo hor geeyo dadweynaha si dood qaran looga yeesho ka hor inta aan hay’adaha dastuuriga ah la horgeyn. Guddiga Madaxabannaan ee dhammeystirka dastuurka kmg wuxuu aad uga gaabiyay gudasha xilkiisa dastuuriga ahaa.

Mid ka mid ah walaacyadii ugu waaweynaa ee soo baxay wuxuu ahaa in dadaallada lagu dardargelinayay “dhammeystirka” dastuurka ay ku soo beegmeen xilli uu dhammaad ku dhow yahay muddo-xileedka hay’adaha federaalka. Arrintaas waxay dhalisay shaki xooggan oo ku saabsan in ujeeddada dhabta ahi ay tahay helitaanka muddo-kororsi siyaasadeed, halkii ay ka ahaan lahayd dejinta heshiis dastuur qaran, walaacaaso dhab noqday.

Mr. President @HassanSMohamud,
Please do not lead the nation into another round of conflict. The country is too fragile for another power struggle among clans and factions.

Many of us have pointed out that the goals behind the entire exercise of changing the constitution were term extension and gerrymandering subsequent political dispensations by capturing the election commission and creating self-serving laws. This attempt cannot work in #Somalia.

Mr. President,

I am sure you understand that the parliament its term is expiring cannot grant itself or you an illegal extension or change a constitution. You rejected it when the previous parliament attempted to do so.

You also understand that you cannot sell your constitution and term extension proposal to the political stakeholders and international partners who contribute about 70% of the budget of your government and pay for the peacekeeping forces.

Mr. President,

Before May 15, 2026, please secure an agreement for indirect elections for the three states and the FGS. Surely, some form of technical extension, perhaps six months or so, will be inevitable.

Regarding the constitution, the costly and polarizing exercise your government has undertaken will serve as a lesson learned for future policymakers researchers. I believe that, following a genuine reconciliation, we must use the international best practices and not allow the politicians to draft and approve the document.

What a speech.

Former President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo reminded the nation what true leadership and statesmanship look like. History will remember this moment.

He spoke with clarity and humility about his own determination to deliver one-person-one-vote elections, but also about the difficult responsibility of governing a fragile nation. Faced with the real risk of political rupture, he chose compromise over confrontation — accepting a less-than-ideal electoral model because keeping Somalia united mattered more than personal or political victory.

He recalled the consultations he held with former presidents and national leaders, demonstrating that leadership requires listening, humility, and respect for collective wisdom. He also walked the country through how the Dhusamareeb I, II, and III conferences came about and how those difficult negotiations ultimately produced a political agreement that preserved national cohesion at a critical moment.

The message was unmistakable: power is temporary, but the nation is permanent.

At a time when Somalia needs unity, consultation, and restraint, President Farmaajo showed what it means to put country before self. @MrDuqa @M_Farmaajo

[Abdisaid Muse Ali @4rukun]

Those who forced through unilateral constitutional amendments, including the President, the Speaker, & committees, should face legal accountability. Breaking the constitutional compact that holds Somalia together is a grave breach of public trust & a path toward disintegration.

[Abdisaid Muse Ali @4rukun]

The Daallo flight incident exposes the problem. As power in Mogadishu turns personal, abrupt decisions disrupted hundreds overnight. That reflects social contract breakdown. Puntland’s path is a negotiated confederal settlement, constrained by Deni’s presidential ambitions now!

[Abdisaid Muse Ali @4rukun]

Both the FGS & regional authorities want to handpick the MPs who will later elect them or their preferred candidates. Nothing will change until Somalis elect their own representatives through genuinely competitive, neutrally managed elections. Ignore the political tantrums!

Met my great brother, HE Dr @aliabdiweli , former Prime Minister of Somalia and current AU Head of Mission in South Sudan, on the sidelines of the C5 Head of State Meeting on South Sudan, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

I hope the best for him and the great people of South Sudan, as we all navigate these challenging times.
