Hiiraan is located in the centre of Somalia and it produced some of the most revered politicians Somalia has ever known including the founding father of the Republic, President Aden Abdulle Osman as well as astute politicians such as the star MP of 1960s politics, Sheikh Ali Jimale and Abdullahi Isse, the first Prime Minister of Somalia under the Italian Trusteeship Administration . In terms of culture, traditional Hiiraan chiefs are some the most genuine and respected in the country and therefore it is indeed unacceptable and unbecoming of Hiiraan to be a theatre of mediocre politics and unending and useless wars.
Every son of Hiiraan region must play a role in the facilitation of free and fair local election where the people of Hiiraan elect their mayors, councilors, governor and regional parliament.
The people of Hiiraan should stand up for their right and go forth to elect local governments. Failing to discharge this neglected responsibilities will result in the continuation of the current mayhem.
