Sheikh Sharif has the characteristics of a weak leader. If the TFG is a weak institution in and of itself, then Sheikh Sharif's character weakness poses a grave threat to the international community's financial and political backing, which could backfire with disastrous effect. The TFG, under Sheikh Sharif's stewardship, has been unable to combine all the security forces under a single command to fight the insurgents; naturally, this disorder on the ground in Mogadishu has led to frequent deadly clashes among Somali government forces. Further, he has been unable to reign in support from Islamist guerrillas, whom have labeled him a "puppet" of the West, and he has lost control of towns and regions dominated by members of his own clan, thereby making him a leader without a constituency. Important towns like Jowhar – seized by Al Shabaab insurgents – come to mind.

Somalia president endorses Puntland agreement 29 Sep 29, 2009 - 10:06:02 PM WASHINGTON, D.C. Sep 29 (Garowe Online) - Somalia's interim president has endorsed an agreement with the Horn of Africa country's Puntland State government for the first time since the deal was signed last month, Radio Garowe reports. Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, the Somali president who is currently in the U.S., said the agreement signed between Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmake and Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole in August was a "positive step in the right direction." Somali President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed "The agreement between the [Transitional] Federal Government (TFG) and Puntland was to strengthen relations between the Federal Government and administrations existing in the country," the Somali president said. He noted that a deal signed by TFG Fisheries Minister Abdirahman Ibbi in Djibouti, which stirred controversy with Puntland, was an "understanding among eight countries" in the region to strengthen cooperation in the anti-piracy campaign. "The duty of the [Transitional] Federal Government is to works towards uniting the Somali people and the agreement with Puntland is part of this," explained President Sheikh Sharif, who praised the relative peace in the northern Somali enclaves of Somaliland and Puntland. The TFG-Puntland deal allows the latter to remain an integral part of Federal Somalia, but gives Puntland the authority to attend international conferences, sign development and commercial deals with foreign partners, and establish a Somali naval base in Puntland. It is the first time President Sheikh Sharif has publicly spoken about the Puntland deal since Prime Minister Sharmake signed it in the Puntland city of Galkayo on Aug. 23, 2009. Puntland, located in northeast Somalia, maintains its own government, parliament and security forces and has pledged to remain part of Federal Somalia. The region is stable and relatively peaceful, while much of south-central Somalia including the capital Mogadishu is engulfed by an insurgency that threatens to overthrow President Sheikh Sharif's interim government.

Xiin: The strategy of the previous government was spot on, if it was not opposed by the opportunists like Sharif Hotel and clanist like Ahmed Diriye today Somalia would have been in a better position. Its aim was to contain, root out the fake Jihadi's amongst us, as well as create a new national army. Is it not a shame, that you opposed all these steps, and supported the Jihadis' and the Bakara market and yet today you support the use of AMISOM, Ethiopia and the shelling of the market. The problem for you lad, is that today is not 2006 and the people are being killed at a greater rate than before. The army created by the legend has been disbanded, and their replacements are unable to guard Villa Somalia. The more frightening issue are these controversial deals that Sharif Hotel has struck with neighboring countries. The sea deal with Kenya That you a purported nationalist is silent on and even makes apology for. The Djibouti Naval base which aims to deprive Garowe, of funds and jobs, again you meekly look away and ignore the real intent of this deal. Yes Xiin, I know you tried to please everyone and be the “good” dude from that clan. But you have lost yourself in the quest to be popular. Sharif Ahmed as we speak, is an incompetent man, who has no base of support, who is seeking money by any means necessary and who has betrayed the people who made him famous. To support such a person is puzzling, but like someone said before, “he speaks well and has good manners” that’s great maybe if you want to marry him, but I wish he would not sell the sea and not think that betraying ones friend is sign of political maturity.

^^^They are real hero's.

Sheikh Shariif oo Imanaya Maraykanka xilli ay dhici karto in UN ay Goaan ka Gaaraan heshiiskii Isfahamka ee Kenya-Somalia UN: Go’aankii Baarlamaanku waa go’aan Soomaaliyeed UN: Go’aanada ka soo baxa guddiga xadaynta badaha waa go’aana aan rafcaan laga qaadan Karin Warbaahinta: Norway waxay Kenya siisay $200 million si uu u hirgalo heshiiska isfaham ee Somalia-Kenya Sheikh Shariif oo Imanaya Maraykanka, Xilli laga yaabo in Qarammada Midoobay go’aan ka gaaraan Dukumiintihii ay Kenya u gudbsatey UN ee la xiriirta heshiiskii Is-fahamka… Sheikh Shariif Soomaalida deggan Maraykaanka ma u sharxi doonaa sababta xukuumaddiisa ku kalliftay in heshiis aan wax dan ahi ugu jirin shacabka Soomaaliyeed ay la galaan Kenya… COLUMBUS, Ohio: Cilmi Ducaale, oo ah safiirka Soomaalida u fadhiya Qarammada Midoobay, ayaa hay’adda wararka ee AP waxa uu Arbacadii (Sept 9, 2009) u sheegay in Sheikh Shariif Sheikh Axmed uu doonayo in uu booqasho ugu tago Jaaliyadaha Soomaaliyeed ee ku dhaqan Minneapolis, Columbus iyo cirifka Washington DC. Warku waxa uu intaas ku daray in madaxweynaha DFKMG uu ka qayb geli doono shirka Qarammada Midoobay dhammaadka bisha September 2009. Sidaas waxaa werisey jariidadda StarTribune ee ka soo baxda Minneapolis. Waxaa in dhoweyd xarunta UN-ta ee New York ka socdey kulan kale oo lagu falanqaynayo dukumiintiyadii iyo akhbaartii ay dalalka xeebaha leh u gudbiyeen guddiga xadaynta badaha ee Qarammada Midoobay. Kulankaas oo soo bilowday August 10 ilaa September 11, 2009. Shirkaas oo albaabadu u xiran yihiin. Sarkaal ka tirsan Qarammada Midoobay oo wax laga weydiiyey kulanka guddiga xadaynta badaha ayaa sheegay in go’aanada ka soo baxa ay noqon doonaan “go’aan aan rafcaan laga qaadan Karin.” Arrintaas oo walaac ku abuureysa shacabka Soomaaliyeed. Dhanka kale Afhayeen u hadashay xafiiska Xoghayaha Guud ee Qarammada Midoobay ayaa tibaaxday in go’aankii baarlamaanka DFKMG ay ku diideen heshiiskii is-fahamku uu yahay “go’aanka Soomaaliya” oo arrimaha gudaha ee Soomaaliya aysan faragashanayn. Dhanka kale shabakad xarunteedu tahay Maraykanka ayaa sheegtay in Dalka Norway ay lacag dhan laba boqol oo million ($200 million oo doolar) siisay Kenya si uu u hirgalo heshiiska isfahamka ee ay la gashay Soomaaliya (hoos ka akhri warkaas). Agoosto 1, 2009 ayey ahayd markii 334 xildhibaan oo ka tirsan baarlamaanka DFKMG ay u codeeyeen diidmaha heshiiska is-faham ee Soomaaliya-Kenya. Warar SomaliTalk heshay waxay tibaaxayaan in Afhayeenka golaha Barlamanka DFKMG Sheekh Aadan Maxmed Nuur (Aaden Madoobe) uu xeerkii ay baarlamaanku ku diidey heshiiskaas si rasmi ah ugu gudbiyey madaxweynaha DFKMG Sheikh Shariif Sheikh Axmed. Sidaasna uu ku noqonayo Qaanuur ama Xeer rasmi ah. Laakiin ilaa hadda (September 10, 2009) ma jiraan wax muujinaya in xukuumaddu ay xeerkaas u gudbisay Qarammada Midoobay, ugu yaraan arrintaas weli laguma daabacin shabakada UN-ta. Akhristuhu si uu u fahmo sidii degdegga ahayd ee xukuumadda Sheikh Shariif ay ku fulisay heshiiska is-faham: Febraayo 22, 2009 ayaa la dhaariyey xukuumadda FKMG. March 10 waxaa Nairobi ka dhacay kulan dhex maray xubno xukuumadda ah, UN iyo Norway, kulankaas ayaa xukuumadda loogu soo bandhigay qorshaha heshiiska. March 12 ayaa la sheegay in xubno ka tirsan golaha wasiiradda DFKMG ay ansixiyeen heshiiskaas. March 18 waxaa Nairobi heshiis ku kala saxiixday Wasiirka Maaliyadda DFKMG Shariif Xasan iyo wasiirka arrimaha dibadda ee Kenya, heshiiskaas oo kusaabsan in cashuurta alaabta aadeysa Soomaaliya in ay Kenya cashuurta uga qaado DFKMG. April 5-6 ayaa wafti reer Norway ay yimaadeen Muqdisho safarkooduna uu la xiriirey arrinta badda. April 7 ayaa Nairobi lagu saxiixay heshiiska Is-fahamka. April 8 ayaa ra’iisul wasaaraha DFKMG waxa uu warqad lifaaq ah ku daray heshiiska una diray UN-ta. April 14 ayaa si rasmi ah heshiiskaas lagu daabacay shabakada Qarammada Midoobay. Taas barbardhig in Baarlamaanka DFKMG ay diideen heshiiskaas August 1, 2009 ilaa haddana aysan xukuumaddu ficil ka qaadan, ama muujin ficilka ay qaadatay. Lama sheegin sababta ay taasi ku dhacday. Waa jawaabaha ay Jaaliyadda Minneapolis, Columbus iyo Washington DC ka sugayaan Sheikh Shariif marka uu booqashada ku tago Maraykanka. ***

Xiin: lets deal with facts old boy. It has been nine months since your hero became "President".. This is the reality on the ground today Ahmed Diriye commenting on the BAKARA massacre It has been nine months and the greatest policy outlined by Sharif Hotel has been to sell the sea to Kenya. This is his approach old boy. Somalia: 4 killed in Mogadishu battle among govt troops A man who can not even brong peace to his own bodyguards, what chance has he of bringing peace to Somalia? Xiin you do protest way too much, your greatest prediction on SOL, made you a laughing stock. A blaoted government of 500MP's, that relies on AMISOM troops & Ethiopian military in Hiiraan. Is what you support. Your hero Sharif Hotel is nothing more than an American spy, who has no clue what he is doing.

^^ lool I understand your weakness Adeer I hope you grow a backbone. your Djibouti caravan is a joke and your Sharif Hotel needs to go to Yemen to learn from the great master.

I hopenthey hang the *****.

^^ Just admit you are even more clueless than the man you support. Thus you have added nothing to the thread in defence of yur hero. It's always difficult to defend something one dies not understand. Nine months on and the fact is this man has no approach other than making some kneybfor himself.

^^^ Adeer answer the question that came out of your remarks. This approach you talk about, what has it achieved? Forget me lad we are talking about your hero Sharif Hotel.

^^ That was funny, why is Mugged one upset at Puntland? Riyaale could not even Mugg a blind old lady in Puntland. We have had four Presidents these past decade some were Riyaales superior officers. Yet you find it a problem to deal with an NSS spy? Good luck lads and I hope the mugging stops soon.

Can you elaborate on this approach? After nine months what has this approach acheved for the restoration of the republic and for security?

^^ Oh no not anothe fake Jihadi.

^^ Let me correct you it's clan and not tribe. The main point is one can not support incompetence and reward bad behaviour. Sharif Hotel betrayed his own friends, he left his fighters as they were bombed in the bushes. He is now hunting his mentor Xasan Dahir and he wants the average Somali to trust him? No Adeer I don't buy his man and his silly governmnt, Yusuf had principles and Ina Sharmake thus far seems to be honest and clean from many of the issues that I have touched on above.

Now you could not answer the question, poor lad. Your Sharif Hotel is in a right mess. Let me tell you something simple, Yusuf was the founding father of Puntland. Sharif Hotel wasnthe founding father of the crazy gang that he is fighting. That's a fact lad, now what has this simple man achieved and next time don't believe the hype.

^^ He is another who has difficulty with the English language.

One must know his limitations after all I am not Sharif Hotel. I care about all my Somali people , it's just the fakers in SOl who I do not give a damn about. Now one must smile when life is good and it is good Alhamdulilah.

^^^No one says he is a bad man, or evil. Incompetent, out of touch, gullible and even dumb maybe, but not bad. Peacenow, what has Sharif Hotel achieved these past 9 months ? Kindly answer the question. He is good, tall and light skinned does not mean much here.

^^^Your teacher was blind and dumb. Now lets get to the point. What change did Sharif Ahmed bring to the political landscape of Somalia thus far? Answer the question.

^^^Most of the time my assumptions are spot on, if they are not I don’t care much for it. Every statement serves a purpose.

^^^Not love nor for the money adeer. The Duke is giving you the basic truth on the ground. These men above are relative of mine and not yours.

Originally posted by President Anwar: that means -President Shariif got 4 month of GOOD SLEEP IN VILLA SOMALIA -and old mann YEEY dident Which four Months? Yey held a conference for all the Somali's in Mogadishu that took 45 days and was attended by all the clan chiefs led by Boqor Abdullahi & Imaam Mohamoud. Sharif Hotel has been living in Villa Somalia sleeping next to Ugandan bodyguards. Again that was lame of you, I present facts you are still learning English.
