For Immediate Release
The Sool, Sanaag & Ayn Regions of Somalia Community Leaders:
- Traditional Elders of Sool, Sanaag & Ayn (SSC).
- Guurti and Community Leaders of SSC
In order to end the fighting, killings, displacement, suffering, pressure and threats regularly visited upon the people of Sool, Sanag & Cayn (SSC) regions of Somalia, We the Undersigned:
1) Declare that the people who are most affected by the conflicts in the Sool, Sanaag and Ayn regions are the indigenous people living in these regions who are subjected to untold suffering including death, injury and displacement.
2) Call upon the Federal agencies responsible for disaster relief and the international humanitarian organizations to help the people affected by this conflict immediately in a sufficient manner that can alleviate their suffering.
3) Call for an immediate end to the occupation, oppression and brutality visited on the SSC people, especially in Lasanod the capital city. Since the attack of Tukaraq by Somaliland, many people in the SSC are injured and jailed for engaging in peaceful demonstrations against the presence of Somaliland forces in their homeland.
4) Declare that the claims of the Somaliland administration that these regions are part of its territories are unfounded and are not supported by the facts.
5) Declare that no region can forcefully rule over another and impose its authority at gun point.
6) Declare that the people of the SSC believe in the unity of Somalia, for which they have long struggled and paid for in blood and treasury, and that secession cannot be forced at gun point.
7) Welcome the support of the Puntland State of Somalia in guarding Somali Unity and in protecting and supporting the rights and dignity of the people of the SSC.
8) Call upon the leaders of the Federal Government of Somalia to respect and recognize the rights of the SSC to determine the future of their territories like every other region in Somalia.
9) Call upon the international community to address the core issue at hand which is the need for the self-determination of the people of the long-suffering SSC regions just as Somaliland makes the argument for its own self-rule.
10) Call upon all concerned that no discussion or resolution to the fighting and insecurity in the SSC regions can be successful without the full-fledged involvement and engagement of the people of the SSC. Only they are responsible for the political future of their region.
11) Call for the peaceful co-existence of the Somali people in all the regions, as has been the case for time immemorial.
