^^^Thankful. Firts of all I will not buy anything being sold by Walid Abdalla & the UN, we know how much they have helped the Somali people over the past 20 years. As for the piracy issue, its not important to us as it is to the trawlers and criminals who dump waste on our beautiful coast. Faroole, & ilkajiir should pay a political price, however these stories are not credible.. Also how do we save the state, by waging clan war with the like sof Dayano or Samatar?

Somalia: The Hopeless President - Mr. Sharif: 15 Mar 15, 2010 - 8:08:56 AM By: Husein Soyan The President of Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, Mr. Sharif – a former Madras a teacher in Mogadishu, came to power after Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah - the UN Special Representative to Somalia, had leveraged their parliament more than hundred percent, (equivalent to the size of India) to promote Sharif who became a national liability and whose policies resulted in a second wave of humanitarian disaster after his predecessor, Abdalla Yusuf. Some were hopeful and truly believed that Mr Sharif would work to reconcile the feuding Somalis and rebuild their tattered nation. Unfortunately that hope was short- lived. Whilst the failure of Mr. Sharif’s tenure cannot be recounted here, it is worth highlighting some of the more deliberate and jarring ones: Shortly after he was elected, Mr. Sharif wasted no time in seeking the help of the Ethiopian regime – a support for which he had previously criticised his predecessor, Abdalla Yusuf. His opponents allege that President Sharif not only lacks effective decision-making skills to lead a government, but even worse, he has also been accused of being shamelessly self-serving, and therefore not be trusted. A case in point was that when the President met the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, earlier this year, Sharif failed to observe a simple but requisite protocol for a visit of this nature and undiplomatically excluded his foreign minister from the meeting with Ms. Clinton. His befuddled, and soon to-be deposed, foreign minister was still lounging at the Embassy reception whilst the former Sheik basked in the glow of Ms. Clinton who could only make a disparaging statement that “He [sharif] is the best hope we’ve had in quite some time for a return to stability and the possibility of progress in Somalia”. We can only speculate as to what transpired between Mr. Sharif and Ms. Clinton. What is clear from his short, but doomed presidency is that he is far from giving the beleaguered Somali people even the slightest glimmer of hope. In fact, the general fear among the population of Mogadishu is that whenever Mr Sharif leaves or re-enters his two mile protected areas, AMISOM continually shells the main Bakara market, the same area where 30 civilians were killed in a single day as a collective punishment for residing in an area controlled by his opponents. The international NGOs reported that the AMISOM’s civilian casualty rate has reached more than five thousands since AMISOM came to Mogadishu, and yet unsurprisingly the President never spoke against the civilian casualties caused by his supreme Generals (AMISOM). If shelling civilians and consorting with the dictator Meles Zenawi is bad enough, Mr. Sharif’s biggest crime to date is the selling of our continental sea-shelf to President Mwai Kibaki, despite the fact that members of parliament voted unanimously against this treacherous act. He, in turn, blamed the parliament for intervening in the government’s fundraising strategies! In short, the above leadership assessment clearly proves that Mr Sharif lacks the experience, skills and patriotism needed for the reconciliation and rebuilding of the Somali nation. Those who know Somali history well will acknowledge that Somali people will never accept any imposed government, engineered from outside, as well as foreign interventions. The political manoeuvrings of Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah had made Somali an experimental field for bad policies in order to advance his self-interest since there is a possibility of him standing for election in Mauritania. I hope his questionable policy will not be transposed to another brother state. Currently, there are allegations that Somalis have now inherited the most corrupt and incompetence government in their history and the two –mile President (Mr. Sharif) can easily win the Award for the Most Dishonest President in the entire world, and if not removed, could cause continuation of civil war in Somalia, and the replication of the Afghani situation.

Here now is an alternative telling of the UN - Somali story, an update to Inner City Press' previous reporting on the MOU: From the [beginning, many] Somalis were furious about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), saying “Somali territorial waters would have been lost had this MOU succeed”. And any where that the Somali TFG delegations travel they were confronted by angry citizens asking them “why did they sign that MOU” and demanding answers from them. While many Somali lawmakers (MPs) were criticizing the government about the controversial MOU with Kenya, and hand full of TFG ministers were shying away from defending it, Deputy Prime Minister ( he is also Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources) Abdirahman Adan Ibbi (AKA Prof. Ibbi) became the biggest lobbyist for the MOU - Weird huh! Prof. Ibbi fought very had so that the MOU would go forward. In doing so he wrote a letter* to Ban Ki Moon on August 19, 2009 supporting the MOU – it was after the Somali parliament rejected the same MOU (and voted down on August 1, 2009). What is serious about that letter was: it was signed by him, Prof. Ibbi, but is says it was written by TFG Prime Minister Omer Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke who was out of town at the time. When that letter became public Prof. Ibbi started to fade away into the background. Prof. Ibbi had a backing of the TFG president Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, who also defended the MOU . When the Somali PM Sharmarke realized that his deputy used his name, he (Sharmarke) wrote his own letter to Ban Ki Moon on October 10, 2009, supporting the Parliament decision. The funny thing is, Sharmarke’s office did not send that letter to The Secretary-General of UN as they should. Much later, realizing again, Sharmarke handed the letter to Somalia's Foreign Minister, Ali Jama Jangali so that he could hand deliver to Ban Ki Moon or at least send through appropriate channel. Nobody knows whether Jangali handed that letter to The Secretary-General – at least it was not posted at the UN website as they did the previous letters regarding the same MOU. While all these were going on, a group of Somali lawmakers, who were fed up with government, sent their own letter to Ban-Ki Moon asking him not to accept the controversial maritime deal between Kenyan and Somalia and remind him that Somali Parliament rejected it. Again that letter also was not posted at UN website and as far as we aware of, The Secretary-General of the United Nations did not respond the Somali MPs’ letter – at least he did send reply back. We do not know what did it or which letter reached at the Ban Ki Moon’s desk. But we do know that there was an update at UN website on 12 March 2010 stating that: “The MOU has been rejected by the Parliament of the Transitional Federal Government Somalia, and is to be hence treated as non-actionable. This has been a huge relief for Somalis in general as they realize that the MOU between Somalia and Kenya is non-actionable – which in legal term means NULL & VOID. Somalis think this is very good statement from UN headquarters, why? The MOU between Somalia and Kenya had a backing of UN Somalia Office (based mainly in Nairobi Kenya). This has been a concern for Somali people. And that is why many believe that UN Headquarters did not acknowledge quickly when Somali Parliament rejected the same MOU. This is also a news dawn for Somali political system, some say, as members of parliament realize that they can overrule any law (for Somalia) even if the president doesn’t approve it. There had been even a talk to impeach the Somali parliament speaker, Sheikh Aden Mohamed Nur (AKA Aaden Madoobe) as he did not act swiftly when the TFG government started the maritime MOU between Somalia/Kenya.

Criminal UN operative On Somalia, UN Belated Admits Rejections of its MOU With Kenya Inner City Press Matthew Russell Lee Monday, March 15, 2010 By UNITED NATIONS, March 15 -- A UN-promoted joint Law of the Sea filing by Kenya and those Somalis the UN works with, about Somalia's offshore rights, has finally been acknowledged by the UN as rejected by the Somalia parliament. On March 12, 2010, the UN web site quietly added the notation that the "Memorandum of Understanding" about the filing, pushed by Nairobi based UN envoy Ahmedou Ould Abdallah and funded by oil drilling Norway, "has been rejected by the Parliament of the Transitional Federal Government Somalia, and is to be hence treated as non-actionable." Inner City Press has reported extensively about this controversial MOU, which despite rejection in Somalia has been defended by the UN, Ould Abdallah and Norway. Another analysis by some Inner City Press sources is below. But the UN's quiet admission that its plan for the Somali coastline was rejected by Somalis comes as the UN's Sanctions Group on Somalia is promoting its findings about widespread diversion of aid to Al Shabab. As Inner City Press reported, the Sanctions report has subject last week to a staged leak, first to the New York Times and then to wire services. Some UN correspondents reported did not appreciate the exposure of how the document was shown. But it is relevant, and should have been reported in the initial stories.

^^^Lets not get carried away lads. The argument here should not be about sub clan representation but how we can reform the state as a whole. Every clan, sub clan has contradictions, even in Makhir you have clans who have for a long time have weilded great power and others who have yet to taste it. The bigger picture is Puntland and its importance as a source of peace for all the clans, the rest is just stuff & nonsense.

Alshabaab attack Villa Somalia and claim VICTORY
General Duke replied to Maaddeey's topic in Politics
what force can withstand the army of Allah and the angels of God Nothing can withstand the creator of the universe. Thus if a few AMISOM troops and their little tanks can withstand your group, for all this time. Is this fact not a sure sign that all your claims about them and their connection to heaven false? -
