a small region in somalia head to the polls and the results could have huge consequences for the horn of africa kenya ethiopia. just influence over job land so why is it so important and what i say this is inside story. welcome to the program. a small region in somalia is at the center of a growing power struggle in east africa the people of autonomy us federal state and will choose their president on thursday somebody has neighbor has. a job and ends main city is a target of attacks by the. 26 people died in a hotel assault last month job boards as kenya which has soldiers there as part of the african union's mission against. central government wants more control over the region and warns it will not recognize the election when. let's have a look jubilant there thomas region in southern somalia was announced in 2010 and formalized the following year the territory consists of the ghetto lower job and middle job or provinces the largest city is my own controlled till it was driven out into a $1012.00 but the armed group is still active in many areas juba lands president maduro he was 1

see the whole political system in somalia. i think that that's a key question and i agree with professor helmeted this is really this issue in his mind was about the essence of the somali state. but in certain areas there's more ambiguity than in others in the case of state elections the constitution assigns the responsibility for the establishment of state for provincial executives and legislatures to the states themselves it doesn't award the federal government any role and so it is really creating that tension around the case myer election and the the other processes that professor only referred to is that the federal government is trying to impose itself and it is arrogating to itself powers over the way elections take place in different parts of the country that it doesn't actually have then building on that. as professor only said regional powers are aligning themselves i need the federal of a city government and so this issue is taking on proportions that go far beyond a normal somalis state electoral process jamal one

in somalia but yet it has become a hot topic why is that well i think let's start within the context so the least we understand what's going on there is a legal ambiguity within the summary constitution and therefore this debate is more or less about the essence of the state. whether what it will be is it fair that all confederal unitary state this debate is now being played in because my are now that's one level and the other level is that it's mistrust between the regional leaders and the national leaders so-called the mogadishu and this is largely based on the power struggle which has been going on for quite some time this again manifested itself in numerous ways not only in jubilant but also in other parts and many believe the so mali government in will be different is trying to impose central system in the country particularly taken note of what have been in by the door and other maybe joe who are in and also in government these are the i mean the background and the final thing perhaps and the final main point is that the regional countries particularly the neighboring countries

somalia disagree with the kenyans and decide to support a new candidate why would a country take such massive gamble that could backfire. in jubilant i think that's very hard to explain ethiopia's policy on somalia has been consistent for the better part of 3 decades and this church this 180 degree switch under prime minister abbey seems to be more a result of idiosyncratic pylea personalized leadership rather than any kind of strategic policy shipped and i think for ethiopia has actually ever said this is it's really ill advised it seems as though anyone in new york and policy establishment with with understanding of some of the politics has disappeared or been been replaced because. ethiopian troops in somalia have generally been seen as perhaps an on a benign presence and they've been able to operate with the support of local communities if you look at what happened when the. election in by dark who was was a century hijacked by mogadishu and the leading candidate was arrested by european troops and detained in mogadishu where he remains essentially ethiopian troops became blind th

it's difficult to compare east africa with west african piracy they are 2 separate phenomena somalia was a foul state. in the gulf of guinea you had functioning sovereign states the one constant however is that if you are able to detect. an approaching suspicious vessel you then have the opportunity to raise an alarm to retreat into a citadel if needed and this early warning is something that should be applied not just for east and west africa but universally when it comes to global piracy so early detection is paramount so do west african nations need more help and what sort of thing can can help with this early detection we talking about drones do they need more help from from western nations the u.s. for instance well there are a number of initiatives of regional and international that are on the way. the all of these nations need help where there's piracy and i need helping training to ensure you know the responses of their capacity building but what's really important when it comes to these issues is that the incidence didn't not go unchecked they are reported that the authoriti
