Maanso Jiifto ah oo la yiraa: Shardi. W/A:Maxamed Cilmi Dhicisow

Jiiftadan la yiraa: “Shardi” waxay warcelin u tahay jiiftadii Shiinleeyda ahayd ee: “Shurugdiid” ee uu curiyey Bashir M. Hersi. Jiiftadaa oo sawir guud ka bixinaysay marxaladda haatan marayso Soomaaliya, xambaarsanaydna weydiimo ku saaban tagtada, taaganta lagu sugan yahay iyo timaaddada foodda nagu soo haysa. Anoo intaa maanka ku haya, yaan jeclaytan inaan dhawr eray ka dhaho, isku dayo su’aalaha la soo jeediyey jawaabahooda. War iyo dhammaan, aan idiin kala boxo idinka iyo tixda, ee ka bogasha wacan:

 

Silsiladdaan Sha’laydaa
Suugaanta shubantaa
Shurugdiidiyo Shaandhays
Shardi aan ka daba diro
Samahana ku shaaciyo
Ha la showro aan dhaho
Su’aalihi shurdaysnaa
Shakamada ka sii furo
Kuwa shaafka wado iyo
Shiqiyada u sii digo!

Afartaa ma kala shirey
Maw sheegay sharafoo

Ma shirribay raggii hore

Shiinleeyda noo furay

Hadal shaacir maw diray
Runta lagama sheexee
Xaqa lama shaxeexee

Ma ka qaaday shaarkii
Afar kalana iga shuba.

Soomaalidi sharfoonayd

Xumaha shir wacayoo

Dhibaata shax dhigatoo

Ummadduna shib wada tiri.

Afartaa shilkii dhacey

Maw sheegay shacabkii
Ma shirribay raggii hore

Shiinleeyda noo furay

Hadal shaacir maw diray
Runta lagama sheexee
Xaqa lama shaxeexee

Ma ka qaaday shaarkii
Afar kalana iga shuba.

Shaaciyow Diraacow
Sharta kuwi horkici jiray
Haddaad shuuftayoo tiri
Shirar baa socdee joog
Waxaan kuugu shedayaa.

Faalshaha wax sheegee
Shimbiraha adeegshiyo
Kaahinliyo sharrowgiyo
Ka shabaabanow joog
Ka shirqool wadow joog
Ka shiddada hurow joog
Ka shuftada ahow joog
Nabad baa shakuuriye
Xumahaa shareeranoo

Samaa shaal la saariye
Ha shallaayinee jog.

Afartaa ma kala shirey
Maw sheegay sharafoo

Ma shirribay raggii hore

Shiinleeyda noo furay

Hadal shaacir maw diray
Runta lagama sheexee

Shurugdiid su’aalihi
Shuruudihi is daba yiil
Jawaab aan ku shaabbado
Shardi aan ku wada furo.

Waxa qaranka shirin kara
Waxa nabad shamili kara
Waxa cudur shifeyn kara

Waxa sharaf hibeyn kara
Waxa shaqaaqa bi’in karo

Wax  hidaha sharrixi kara

Wax shahaado bixin kara
Waxa shaqaale qori karo
Shisheeyeha xayiri kara

Gumeystaha shib  dhihi kara

Shakadaha u xidhi kara

Oo sharkiisa celin kara

Gunta shoobareyn karo

Gobta shaar u gelin karo.

Shaajaca  halyeeyga ah
Sharcigana aqoon u leh

Shareecana dabbiqi kara
Shaabicyahay Imaamkuna
Sida Sayidki shubi jirey
Shucuurtii dadkeeniyo

Shuhadada xorriyaddii

Leegadeenii Sheegnayd
Ama shayb waddaniyiyo
Qaranka u shaqaale ah!
Badda shilama siinayn
Dhirta holac ku shiilayn
Hanti jeeb ku shubanayn
Qolo gaara sheegayn
Shareecada ku Suufiya
Shisheeyaha sheeraroo
Ibliis shaah ka guranayn
Sharna kuu daboolayn
Hammigiisu shiri yahey
Maatada shifee yahey
Shacabkaaga dhawr yahay

Inaan dhiig la shubin yahay
Xumahana Shareer yahay

Qabiil shallow ka tuur yahay

Xaqa kor u shareeryahay.


Afartaa ma kala shirey
Maw sheegay sharafoo

Ma shirribay raggii hore

Shiinleeyda noo furay

Hadal shaacir maw diray
Runta lagama sheexee
Xaqa lama shaxeexee

Ma ka qaaday shaarkii
Afar kalana iga shuba.

Sharadkii ma kuu furay

Shandaddii daboollayd

Ma ka qaaday shaashkii

Iyo Shaalkii saarnaa

Shinta hadalka maw dhigay

Ragbaa shaaric jiiraye

Shucaacii ku lumayoo

Hilinkeeda shuufine

Ma shalwiyey halkaan rabay

Hootada shan geesta ah.


Maansada nin sheegtiyo
Nin shahaado haaystiyo
Mid ku shaaribbaystiyo
Shaacirkii gaboobiyo
Shayb iyo shabaabkoow

Kala shiila hadalkoo

Runta sheega weliboo

Shiinleeyda maanta ah

Iyo sheekadaa xidhan

Shawrkaa naloo wacay

Shifa iyo wanaaggeed

Sharciyo hannaankiis

Shiin iyo dhigaalkiis

Sharaf iyo dadnimadeed

Innagoon shallaayeyn

Shishe aan u booyeyn

Shimmee baan la helayaa?

Shaariceena loo mari?

Shushub laga baxaayaa?

Iyo sheegatadan baas

Shaydaanka koorta leh

Duulkan aanan sheexayn?.


Dhammaad.

There have been no elections in Somalia since 1967 and there won’t be any this year either. But the country has a new parliament (appointed on the advice of clan elders) who have elected a new president, and the new government actually now controls a significant part of the country. The world’s only fully “failed state” may finally be starting to return to normality.A failed state is a horrendous thing: no government, no army, no police, no courts, no law, just bands of armed men taking what they want. Somalia has been like that for more than 20 years, but now there is hope. So much hope that last month the United Nations Security Council partially lifted its embargo on arms sales to Somalia in order to let the new Somali government buy arms, and last week the U.S. government followed suit.The new government replaces the “Transitional Federal Government”, another unelected body that had enjoyed the support of the UN and the African Union for eight pointless years. Then last year a World Bank report demonstrated the sheer scale of its corruption: seven out of every ten dollars of foreign aid vanished into the pockets of TFG officials before reaching the state’s coffers.Fully a quarter of the “national budget” was being absorbed by the offices of the president, the vice-president and the speaker of parliament. The fact that after all that the TFG still only controlled about one square kilometre (less than one square mile) of Mogadishu, the capital, while the rest of the shattered city was run by the Islamist al-Shabaab militia, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, also contributed to the international disillusionment.That tiny patch of ground, moreover, was being defended not by Somali troops but by thousands of Ugandan and Burundian soldiers of the African Union Mission in Somalia (Unisom). More than 500 of them had lost their lives defending the useless TFG, and the foreign donors were losing faith in the mission. But the Unisom soldiers did achieve one major thing: they fought al-Shabaab to a standstill in Mogadishu.In August 2011 the Islamist militia pulled its troops out of the capital. That created an opening, and the international community seized it. It ruthlessly initiated a process designed to push the TFG aside: Somali clan elders were asked to nominate members for a new 250-seat parliament, which was then asked to vote for a new president and government.It was obviously impossible to hold a free election in a country much of which was still under al-Shabaab’s control, but this process also had the advantage that it allowed the foreigners to shape the result. The corrupt officials who had run the old TFG all re-applied for their old jobs, but none of them succeeded.The new president who emerged from this process, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is a former academic and human rights worker who only entered politics in 2011. No whiff of corruption clings to him, and he has worked tirelessly to bring about national reconciliation. And he has the wind at his back: just after he was chosen last September, a Kenyan force evicted al-Shebaab from Somalia’s second city, Kismayo.That still leaves about 95 percent of the country’s territory and three-quarters of its population beyond the government’s direct control. Al-Shabaab still rules in most rural parts of the country, and Ethiopian troops and their militia allies control much of the western border areas. Pirates with a lot of guns and money effectively dominate much of the north.One whole chunk of the country, calling itself Somaliland, has declared its independence (and runs its affairs much more peacefully and efficiently than any other part of Somalia). No other country recognizes its independence at the moment, but it used to be a British colony, quite separate from Italian-ruled Somalia, and in principle it can make exactly the same case for independence as Eritrea did when it broke away from Ethiopia.The worst problem facing President Mohamud is the venal and cunning politicians who have exploited the clan loyalties that pervade every aspect of Somali life to carve out their own little empires. Some are frankly and unashamedly warlords; others, including all the senior officials in the defunct TFG, masquerade as national politicians but work for their own interests.They have not gone away, nor have the clan rivalries that kept the fighting going for 21 years. Drawing up the rules and sharing out the power for a new federal Somalia (none of which has yet been decided) will give them plenty of opportunities to make trouble for the new president and regain their former power. Mohamud definitely has his work cut out for him.Nevertheless, he has strong UN and African Union support, and he now has a chance to create a spreading zone of peace in the country and start rebuilding national institutions. So last week the United States declared that it was now willing to provide military aid, including arms exports, to Somalia. Weirdly, that actually means that thing are looking up in the world’s only failed state.Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.
