Somalia: Mideeye Party on the point of collapse amid inner feuds

AXADLE, Northeastern State – Northeastern State’s Mideeye Party is facing a mass exodus of its senior members, which could significantly affect its operations within the state, just months away from local elections due to start in October this year.

The Mideeye party is one of nine political parties registered by the Northeastern State Transitional Election Commission [TPEC], which has the mandate to approve political parties in the northern state, which is preparing for local elections by universal suffrage.

In addition, the constitution stipulates that members of the political unit should maintain the public interest and develop special actions while prohibiting self-interest in Union affairs, in addition to resolving disputes within or within outside the Organization through dialogue, mutual understanding and respect.

But for nine months, the Union has been embroiled in a controversy over these principles that the elected office of the Union has failed to implement, leading to an escalation of the conflict, which would definitely harm the party’s achievements.

For some time now, the members of the association’s founding members, both in the diaspora and at home, have been devoting their time and their days to Mideeye, trying to find a solution to this conflict; however, it was not possible to chair the Union, according to a statement from disgruntled members.

And that has now contributed to the mass exodus of 23 senior members, who have lodged a complaint with the TPEC and raised a litany of issues that could force them to quit the party for good as they seek to continue their political agendas elsewhere.

The Northeastern State Constitution (Q.114) and the TPEC Law (Q.5, paragraph 2) state that if an association does not agree, TPEC can take a decision, four months after the filing of the complaint, which would determine the fate of disgruntled members.

To this end, disgruntled members said, the TPEC’s response failed to resolve the challenges, adding that “today, July 10, 2021, we resigned from the Union and its Central Committee.” . The declaration comes months in local elections.

Among those who left the party are Mohamed Abdinur Hersi, Ahmed Ali Hashi, Ali Haji Warsame, Abdnasir Osman Cuuke, Mohamed Yusuf lsse, Mohamed Osman Ali-maad, Sharmarke Sh.

The TPEC registered voters in several parts of Northeastern State ahead of local elections, and the departure of 23 members of the Mideeye party could reduce the chances of the formation in the next elections. The party’s endorsement is part of Northeastern State’s efforts to promote democracy in the region.
