At the end of last week, a familiar but traggic news came from the Danood region of the Somali State of Ethiopia. Once again, the “Ogaden National Liberation Front" (ONLF) collaborated with the Abrahim Sub Clan of the Ogaden tribe to wage an attack against Reer-Sheekh Abbayonis Sub clan of the Geri tribe”. In what is refered by some as a silent civil war in the heart of Eastern Ethiopai, as many as twenty people were killed from both sides, and more than ten were wounded. By some accountsn the wounded figures were even higher. The tension between the two neighbors is at its highest. No efforts to stop the conflict are currently underway by neither the government nor by the traditional elders of the region.

In this paper, I will try to discuss about local/district decentralization process in Somali Region, its problems and issues. Using different sources of information, I have tried to get up to date information from the Region. I am going to share with you my views and understanding of the problems of local decentralization process in the Region. Although I am not in the Region/ country, but I have daunting interest to share with you the prevalent problems in that respect. Thus, this paper aims to initiate debate on the ongoing local/district decentralization in the Region, its flaws and major issues. I will be very much pleased if I get a response from intellectuals from the Region particularly those working in the Region to exchange ideas and understanding and shade light on the prospective solution for this unbending problem. So we can contribute and give an input for the Region who is ever in charge of thereby creating working local decentralization and governance at the district level owned by the local people.

The first decade of the 21st century proved to be a dangerous one. Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the violence in the Middle East, fear of Pakistan's nuclear weapons falling in the wrong hands, the rising of the Iranian power and the aggressive behavior, when it comes to foreign policy, in the part of the Unites States. among others, cause or, by far and large, contribute the global insecurity.
