September 5, 2008 - By: Ahmed Ali Ibrahim Sabeyse KULMIYE: THE PAST IS HAUNTING THE PRESENT? Twenty years ago, the Somali National Movement almost ran aground. At the time the Chairmanship of the organisation, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, and the Chairman of the Central Committee were all in the hands of one person. This type of organizational structure corrupts the decision making process. The result: Complete paralysis of the day today functioning of the organisation and the cumulative strain almost precipitated a total collapse........

First, the chairman of Kulmiye party wasted no time in offering his heart felt condolences to the dissident majority that boycotted the final day of the party’s second general convention. Then came Ahmed Ali Adami’s bombshell: “The outcome is illegitimate, unethical, and an affront to all democratic principles.” stated Mr. Adami. He further stated that, "the results came out of manipulative tactics and vote rigging." .........

The recent agreement among the political parties to postpone and switch the municipal and the presidential elections puts a question mark on the credibility of our political process.
