Ayrotv.com- In a deeply troubling development, the recent actions taken by the Federal Parliament of Somalia against Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, an esteemed Member of Parliament (MP) representing Awdal, Salal regions, and Gabiley District, have sparked outrage among those who value unity and sovereignty in Somalia. Dr. Abdillahi, a respected scholar and staunch advocate for the Gadaboursi tribe, has long defended the ideals of Somali unity and territorial integrity. It is both perplexing and disheartening to witness the Parliament targeting those who stand for these principles while seemingly favouring factions that wish to fracture our nation.
The actions against Dr. Abdillahi raised critical questions about the motivations and loyalties of certain members within the Somali Parliament. Are there traitors and foreign agents among them, protecting those who aspire to dismantle the very fabric of our country? The role of parliamentarians is to safeguard the unity, territorial integrity, and sovereignty of Somalia, yet the recent events suggest a disturbing shift. The targeting of individuals like Dr. Abdillahi, who represents the voice of unity, indicates a troubling trend towards aligning with those holding secessionist sentiments ( Isaaq and others) that threaten to weaken Somalia’s cohesion.
The ongoing silence from Gadaboursi parliamentarians is particularly alarming. Why have they not spoken out against this injustice? Are they fearful, feeling like hostages in a system that should champion their interests? The failure to publicly defend Dr. Abdillahi and the principles he stands for raise profound concerns about the commitment of these representatives to their constituents.
It is essential for all MPs to rise above tribal loyalties and act in the interest of a united Somalia. As Somali citizens, we must rally in defence of Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib. His unwavering commitment to Somalia’s unity and integrity deserves our support. The elements within the Somali Parliament working against this cause are not just undermining an individual; they are jeopardizing the future of our nation. The call to action is clear: we must unite and condemn the unjust treatment of Dr. Abdillahi, and stand against the forces that seek to divide us.
To the Gadaboursi MPs, the time for silence has passed. If you feel unable to speak out due to fear, let the people know. It is imperative to advocate for the rights of Gadaboursi and to hold accountable those who have betrayed the trust of the Somali people. The leadership that has compromised the sovereignty of your region for personal gain must be challenged.
In conclusion, the actions against Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib is a clarion call for all Somalis to reflect on the values we hold dear—unity, integrity, and sovereignty. Let us come together to support those who defend these ideals and confront those who threaten our collective future. Somalis must unite behind Dr. Abdillahi and demand accountability from their leaders, ensuring that the spirit of unity prevails over division in our beloved nation.
