Apophis is right on this one. The new Presdint has not even moved in to Villa Somalia. He is probably right now as confused as a new born baby. It will take sometime before he makes a decision on who he nominates. I belive he has 30 days. Thus any talk of a list or this or that man is just nonsense. Also I am hearing from Abdiweli's close circles that he might be going back to America..

Somaliland is part of Somalia, it’s the NW part of Somalia and our new President believes in and swore to uphold the Federal Republic sovereignty and territorial integrity. Thus expect a Somalia that will listen to any grievance but will not allow any room for secession. The incompetent Sharif that you were used to and loved is gone. The new President is a nationalist of the first order.

Somalis celebrate as new president elected By Michelle Shephard National Security Reporter Monday, September 10, 2012 Somalia has a new president after the country’s members of parliament failed to support incumbent Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, whose leadership had been mired in accusations of corruption, but who nevertheless was widely predicted to win Monday’s vote. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, an academic and activist who chairs the Peace and Development party, which he founded last year, won the surprise victory Monday by a wide margin. There were celebrations on the streets of Mogadishu late into the night, as Somalis welcomed the first election to be held within the country since the regime of Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown in 1991. “I congratulate all Somalis. The people are taking a new direction. You are now ending the difficult path and taking a new one,” Mohamud told a cheering crowd of well-wishers after his election, Reuters reported. Footage of the vote counting was streamed live online and followed closely worldwide through social media, at one point trending as a top news item on Twitter. After two decades of conflict, much of Somalia’s population lives outside its border, including in Canada, home to one of the world’s largest Somali communities. “Congratulations Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. Sheikh Sharif magnanimous in defeat. Time for Somalis to unite and work together,” tweeted Matt Baugh, Britain’s ambassador to Somalia. Sheikh Sharif said in a speech after his defeat in a runoff by a vote of 190 to 79 that he was “fully satisfied with the results.” The MPs who voted in the election, selected by traditional clan elders, will serve with the president and a prime minister for four years in the hopes of preparing the country for a public election. Few claimed this was a democratic election held to international standards of fairness, amid allegations of bribery and intimidation. But the election of Mohamud, a former UNICEF adviser with an unsullied reputation, appeared to give even the cynical hope. “I think his victory was partially a protest vote against ex-president Sheikh Sharif, who the MPs wanted to let go,” said Abdirashid Hashi, an International Crisis Group analyst. Hashi said accusations that Sheikh Sharif was trying to fix the election “crystallized in many MPs’ minds that he was status quo man, rather than agent of change.” The BBC reports that Mohamed Osman Jawari, the new speaker of parliament, had urged MPs to vote with their consciences. “May God help us elect a good leader in an atmosphere of tranquility,” he said. “We must give the youth of Somalia a bright future.” Security was tight and there was relief that Somalia’s Al Qaeda group, Al Shabab, had not managed to disrupt the elections with an attack on the capital. The Shabab is believed to be at its weakest since it became a fighting force in 2007. But the Shabab still controls parts of southern Somalia and is battling Kenyan, Ugandan and Burundian troops fighting with the African Union peacekeeping mission known as AMISOM. Over the past two weeks, the Shabab has been posting online photos and identification cards of Kenyan soldiers killed in Kismayo, a strategically important port town that the Shabab uses to transport weapons, fighters and supplies across the Gulf of Aden to Yemen. AMISOM, which helped drive the Shabab from Mogadishu last summer, issued a news release congratulating Mohamud and praising the elections as a “free, fair and transparent process.

London - British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday hailed as a "significant moment" Somalia's election of Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president but warned the country faced a long road to democracy. "This is a significant moment for Somalia, and an important step towards a renewed political process," Cameron said in a statement. The British prime minister praised the role played by outgoing president Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in stabilising Somalia and urged the new incumbent to build on his work. "The coming months and years are critical for Somalia's transition to democracy," he stressed. "Somalia's leaders must now work together to build a more representative and transparent system, tackle corruption and strengthen security and stability." Lawmakers chose Hassan Sheikh Mohamud as president after the 56-year-old lecturer defeated incumbent Sharif Sheikh Ahmed in a run-off. Many sceptical observers had voiced fears that the vote would simply return the same corruption-tainted leadership but dark horse Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, an academic and activist, won 190 votes against 79 for the outgoing president, who had been seen as the likely winner until late in the day. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud came second out of 25 candidates in the first round, clocking up 60 votes, against 64 for Sharif. His victory in the run-off was greeted with celebratory shooting in the streets of Mogadishu.

Dubai: World leaders congratulated Somalia’s Hassan Shaikh Mohmoud on Tuesday on his election as president and pledged their continued support to the country. UAE President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has sent a congratulatory cable to Hassan on winning the election. His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, also dispatched a similar cable to the Somali President. Meanwhile, General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, also sent a congratulatory cable to Hassan. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Hassan should quickly take steps to launch a peace-building process in the East African country.Ban, who was on a visit to Switzerland, congratulated Hassan for being voted into office by parliament on Monday, the first time a Somali president has been elected in the troubled country since the 1980s.“The secretary general encourages the new president to move expeditiously, to appoint an inclusive, accountable government that can begin the work of peace-building in the country,” Ban’s spokesman Martin Nesirky said. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called Hassan and told him he had “a strong mandate to establish a new government that can rebuild the country and that he should take advantage of the impetus that comes with the end of the transition process”.“We pledge our support to the new democratic institutions,” she said. Lawmakers chose Hassan as president after the 56-year-old lecturer defeated Sharif in a run-off. British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed as a “significant moment” Somalia’s election of Hassan but warned the country faced a long road to democracy. “This is a significant moment for Somalia, and an important step towards a renewed political process,” Cameron said in a statement. The British prime minister praised the role played by outgoing president Sharif Shaikh Ahmad in stabilising Somalia and urged the new incumbent to build on his work. The surprise election of Hassan may usher in a new era for the war-torn nation, analysts said Tuesday, warning that the new leader faces multiple challenges. “We’ve definitely seen a vote by the parliamentarians for a change of direction,” Ahmad Soliman, Horn of Africa researcher at Chatham House, said. Hassan, an academic and activist, won 190 votes against 79 for the outgoing president Sharif Shaikh Ahmad, who had been seen as the favourite. J Peter Pham of the Washington-based Atlantic Council noted that “by all accounts the newly chosen president of the so-called government of Somalia is an admirable individual who is well-known and respected by local and international non-governmental organisations”. But he warned “one must avoid the temptation - already succumbed to by some stakeholders - of allowing enthusiasm of the moment to cloud the realities of what actually happened.” “The parliamentarians did not so much vote for Hassan as against the incompetence and corruption of Sharif Shaikh Ahmad,” he said, adding that the lawmakers who voted “were hardly legitimate representatives of the Somali people.” “The MPs didn’t want another four or five years of Sharif and it’s been very clearly displayed by 70 per cent of votes going to the new president,” Chatham House’s Soliman agreed. Sharif, who had seemed confident of re-election, was dogged by allegations of corruption during his tenure. Soliman said it was too early to say whether the new president will be able to consolidate his position with the parliamentarians “and move forward and build a cabinet.”Pham said Hassan will be presiding over “an entity more known for stealing foreign aid than using it for the good of the Somali people”. “While the new president may well want to change this, he will have to fight power interests, both old (the functionaries who have carved power bases for themselves) and new (people who spent tens of thousands of dollars last month to become parliamentarians will want to recover their investments).” For Abdirashid Hashi, an analyst with International Crisis Group in Nairobi, the new president’s resounding victory was also “a protest vote” against Sharif.Hassan “is very passionate about Somalia,” Hashi said. “He has a good feel for what’s going on on the ground,” he said. A vendor on the streets of the capital echoed that sentiment. “The new president is a person with credibility. He has been in the country without fleeing in the past 22 years,” Hassan Abdi said, noting that the new president had not “come with a laptop like those from the diaspora”. Hashi stressed however that the new president faced a daunting task. “There is some optimism about him but he has to gain lots of support” notably that of the international community and “there are huge challenges in front of him,” he said. Pham said one handicap could be that the new leader “does not appear to have a force behind him, military or political. Thus he is weak in comparison to the real power brokers in Somalia.”

^They have an embassy in Mogadishu...:D they have also appointed an ambassador for Somalia..

Secessionist are always afraid of a stable Somalia. No wonder most on SOL where supporting the Sharif's..

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today welcomed the selection of a new president for Somalia, the final step in the war-torn East African nation’s political transition process. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was selected as President of the Federal Republic of Somalia on Monday, following a vote which involved two rounds of balloting in the country’s so-called New Federal Parliament in the capital, Mogadishu. “The selection of the new President brings an end to the eight-year political transition. The Secretary-General congratulates the New Federal Parliament and its Speaker for the peaceful and orderly conduct of the process,” Mr. Ban’s spokesperson said in a statement “He also pays tribute to all the signatories of the Roadmap for Ending the Transition for the important role they have played to bring the process to a successful conclusion,” the spokesperson added, while also noting that the UN chief congratulates Mr. Sheikh Mohamud on his selection. After decades of warfare, Somalia has been undergoing a peace and national reconciliation process, with the country's transitional governing arrangements coming to an end with the selection of a president – a key and final part of the so-called Roadmap for Ending the Transition, which Somali authorities had been implementing. Monday’s selection marks the culmination of a series of landmark steps contained in the Roadmap. These include the adoption of Somalia’s provisional constitution, the establishment of the New Federal Parliament and the appointment of that body’s Speaker. “The Secretary-General encourages the new President to move expeditiously, to appoint an inclusive, accountable Government that can begin the work of peacebuilding in the country,” Mr. Ban’s spokespersonsaid. “He urges Somali and international actors alike to pledge their continued support.” He added that the UN chief looks forward to the upcoming high-level meeting on Somalia in the margins of the General Assembly later this month, which will be “an opportunity for Somalia’s new leadership to consolidate the partnership with the international community.” The Secretary-General also thanked his Special Representative for Somalia, Augustine P. Mahiga, and the staff of the UN Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS), as well as the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and other stakeholders for their “tireless and dedicated work” in support of the peace process in Somalia. Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Mahiga and his deputy paid a courtesy visit on President Sheikh Mohamud in Mogadishu, congratulating him and pledging to support the new Somali Government. According to an UNPOS news release, they also “paid tribute to the integrity and quality of the process, which was both representative and transparent,” and President Sheikh Mohamud indicated that he was looking forward to work with the United Nations. In a statement on Monday night, Mr. Mahiga said while much remains to be done in the war-torn country, Somalis can be proud of the transition process that culminated in the selection of a new president. “The transition is over – Somalia must now focus on stabilization, reconciliation and building sustainable and accountable institutions of governance capable of providing services to its people,” the Special Representative said. He added, “We salute all candidates regardless of the outcome. I call on the winners to be magnanimous in victory, the losers to be gracious in defeat and for all to lead Somalia forward to a brighter day. All Somalis must now reconcile for the good of the nation at this remarkable moment in the country's history.” Until last year, most of Mogadishu, was, for several years, riven by a fluid frontline dividing the two sides – Al Shabaab fighters and Government troops, with the latter supported by the UN-backed AMISOM forces. Displaced by fighting and drought elsewhere in the country, some 184,000 people have sought humanitarian relief in the city. Since the Al Shabaab withdrawal from the capital's central parts in August last year, the frontlines have been pushed back to the city's surrounding area. However, the use of roadside bombs, grenades and suicide bombers still take place, as do armed clashes. Since late May, AMISOM, Government troops and their allies pushed into the Afgooye corridor, outside of Mogadishu, and also gained control of the town of Balad, located within an important agricultural area near the capital.

Somalia’s Most Qualified Parliament -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SRSG Augustine Mahiga Monday, September 10, 2012 Mogadishu - There is an air of excitement as we draw closer to one of the most important dates in the history of Somali politics. Despite the many challenges leading up to the end of the transitional period, there is great pleasure in knowing that the legislative arm of Somalia’s new government sits many of the country’s most highly qualified people. Approximately 60 percent of the Members of Parliament hold university degrees. The Speaker, Professor Mohamed Sheikh Osman Jawari, is an attorney by trade with numerous educational achievements and is fluent in five languages: Somali, Arabic, English, Italian and Norwegian. Another Member of Parliament, Mr. Ahmed Samatar, was the James Wallace Professor of International Studies at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Samatar has lectured at many leading universities including Cornell, Harvard and the London School of Economics. Member of Parliament, Ms. Asha Haji Elmi, a well-known peace activist, holds a degree in Economics from Somalia National University as well as a Master of Business Administration from the United States International University in Kenya. These are a few examples of the remarkable individuals who comprise the new Somali Parliament and who demonstrate dedication to the service of
their country in this exciting and transformative chapter of Somalia’s history. In this new Parliament, there are many other people of action, integrity and determination; capable of delivering a new Somalia in the next four years. Their collective action will make the needed difference Somali people are expecting from the Parliamentarians. As International Literacy Day, themed “Literacy and Peace,” was marked, let us reflect on the potential of this new, highly qualified Parliament and its potential to play an invaluable role in the Somali peace process. Just as literacy contributes to peace, bringing people closer to attaining individual freedoms and fostering better understanding of the world, it also plays a key role in the prevention and resolution of conflict. In Somalia, both literacy and democratic processes go hand in hand to create a solid foundation for peace and stability. While obstacles remain, Monday’s Presidential election will mark another milestone in the country’s political process, and so I call on legislators who are voting to ensure they uphold the standards already set while selecting the best candidate as the leader for their nation.
