Heestii Komeesa iyo Ina Jicimbir**
By Dr. Abdirahman Beileh
December 30 , 2009
Folks, here is another report for you on the meeting of COMESA heads state in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe last summer (June 2009). COMESA,  The Common Market for East and Southern Africa, comprises  …. Countries, from South Africa to The Sudan. They have a sub regional objective of collaborating and coordinating their individual activities to develop the region as one cohesive unit. This is with the understanding that each country has something to offer to the rest of the members, and that the region can collectively benefit if all actions were carried out in an organized and carefully coordinated manner.

The major issues of this meeting included the implementation of the corridors.. Cape town to Cairo. This is a huge project which aims at the establishment of main road networks connecting all capitals of the 28 or so COMESA countries. Somalia is the only one that is out of the loop. Folks, this is only one of the many continental mega projects that we are out. There are many others. Twenty years of unrelenting and destructive behavior have costed the Somali people tremendous opportunity to move forward with the rest of the world. There are so many other continent-wide efforts and initiatives going on under IGAD, COMESA, EAC, that ina Jicimbir is totally oblivious to. What a shame! What a shame!

The jiifto below, therefore, reports on this meeting of the COMESA heads of state and expresses my personal views and feelings about such meetings. Their deliberations focused on speeding up the implementation of the project. The delegates from each country took the floor, one after the other, informing the rest of the group enthusiastically, on how his his/her country would contribute to this important regional effort.

Of course, Ina jicimbir, as always, was not around. You know where he was! back home organizing the poor and the desperate to fight for the “ the rights of their respective clan members”  what a shame indeed!!.

So folks without further a due, here is COMESA and ina Jicimbir.

**Ina jicimbir is an embodiment of a typical Somali contemporary “politician”  in Somalia. He exhibits most, if not all of the following characteristics:

  1. Has very little or no formal education.
  2. A male.
  3. Calls himself  “ Doctor” or even “Professor with no more than elementary teaching credentials) ”  with strong believe that he is one.
  4. He knows it all, and needs no advice from anyone.
  5. Believes that he can be anything and can talk about any subject, and without any inhibitions.
  6. Knows no modesty, no humility, no respect for the views of others.
  7. Believes his clan has always been subjugated by other clans and it is his responsibility to fight for the rights of his clan.
  8. Supports good governance, government, unity etc,  only if he and his clan will be in a position to take the helm;
  9. Typically believes that his clan has the largest membership among all Somalis, and yet not prepared for a one man one vote democracy;
  10. Mostly in it for his pocket and nothing else;
  11. Has no national view of any sort,
  12. Has no clue of what GOVERNMNET means;
  13. Knows no boundaries for him and his clan to dominate, can do anything to achieve such a goal even if it means wiping out the rest
  14. Has no views about global issues and how they affect the country.
  15. No conscience, no feelings, single mindedly focused on his personal goal.
  16. Cannot compete on his own merit and so he hides behind the veil of a clan

So, there you have: Ina Jicimbir.

Thinking about his attributes and how evil this person has been to the Somali community, I decided to coin the following song as a New Year’s gift especially for him.
