First president of Somalia dies Mr Osman was a well-respected elder statesman Somalia's first president, Aden Abdulle Osman, has died aged 99 in a Kenyan hospital where he had been in a coma. He was also the first African leader to voluntarily relinquish his post after he lost the 1967 presidential election - Somalia's last democratic poll. Siad Barre seized power two years later and since he was ousted in 1991 rival warlords have fought for control. Mr Osman was a well-respected leader and emerged as an elder statesman in attempts to establish lasting peace. His family says he was very unhappy with the current crisis and his dream was to see Somalia attain peace and stability. Mr Osman rose to prominence as a nationalist politician in the 1950s. He was elected head of state when the former British and Italian Somali colonies joined to form the Republic of Somalia in 1960. Some Somali leaders have remembered him as a simple, down-to-earth person.

Somalia's first president dies at age 99 The Associated PressPublished: June 8, 2007 MOGADISHU, Somalia: Aden Abdulle Osman, Somalia's first president after independence from Italy, died Friday in neighboring Kenya after months of illness, his son said. He was 99. Osman died in a Nairobi hospital, Said Aden Abdulle told The Associated Press. Born in 1908 near the Ethiopian border, in the town of Belet Weyne, Osman was elected president in 1960 after years of leading the Somali Youth League, a nationalist party that struggled for Somalia's independence. He lost a re-election bid in 1967 and peacefully handed over power to his successor, Abdirashid Ali Shermarke, who was assassinated two years later. The assassination led to a coup led by military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. In 1990, when the country was edging toward anarchy, Osman was among about 100 politicians who signed a manifesto expressing concern over the destruction, killings and flight of refugees as a result of the civil war. He was arrested along with more than 50 others by Barre's faltering regime. After his release, he lived mostly on his farm in Janale in southern Somalia.

She blamed Eriteria for supporting the extremist elements and individuals including those from USA for stoking the trouble in Somalia. So much for Sharif Xasan and the courts.

^^Abwan another prediction last time was it not the courts would win or the looters inc would prevail. I have said it now your hope is your clan men will fight Yey because he is from Puntland Lets wait and see. These weapons go to AU troops who will hadn it over to the army, sorry adeer has thought of that as well. Waxaan caddeynaynaa in hubka aan qabannay aan u soo bandhigno saxaafadda; dabadeedna aan ku wareejinno cidammada AMISOM, hub walba oo lagu qabto howlgallada ka socda Muqdisho, waxaan ku wareejinnaynaa Nabad ilaaliyeyaasha Midowga Afrika" ayuu yiri Maxamed Dheere.

^^^lol@ the desperation, Juje is ok, he is just upset that Yey seems to have outsmarted all his leaders, hero;s and so on, from Sudi, to Qaynyare, Sharif Xasan, Ato and so on. He was not a fan of the courts, but then his hero Qaybdeed fel into line. Now he and yourself's only hope is that there is a fight between the TFG or Mohamed Dheere spoils things, we all live in hope

Farax, I thank you for your concern however the truth of the matter is the warlord era is over, we have a single governmental structure, a weak one in place. The good old days when Qaynyare had his own airport, when Abukar Cadaan had his own port, IndaCade and Cirfo were lords of lower Shabbele are over. Today you have a governemnt led by the locals in every region, thats progress.

ternational Contact Group on Somalia calls vancing political process LONDON, June 06 (APP): The International Contact Group on Somalia during its two-day meeting which concluded here on Wednesday discussed mechanisms for advancing the political process and stabilizing the security situation in the Horn of Africa. The ICG on Somalia , grouping the European Union, Italy, Norway, Sweden , Tanzania and the United States , reviewed the situation in the conflict-ridden country during its two-day deliberations. Somalia fell into lawlessness with the 1991 ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and more than a dozen attempts to restore central authority have since failed. Ethiopian troops helped the Somali government drive out an Islamist movement from south and central Somalia at the start of the current year and to clamp down on a growing Islamist-led insurgency late last month. Some 1 500 Ugandan African Union peacekeepers deployed in Somalia in March, but the African Union is struggling to complete a planned 8,000-strong force, with African countries citing a lack of funds or equipment for the mission. A news conference at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was addressed by Lord Triesman, the FCO Minister for Africa, Norwegian State Secretary Raymond Johanssen and Ms.Jendayi Frazer, US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs. They stressed the importance of starting the political process at the earliest and said only a political solution could bring stability to the region. The trio said the Contact Group has agreed to continue to work with all the parties to ensure that all the humanitarian needs of the Somali people are addressed. It called on the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and all parties to provide free and unhindered humanitarian access. The Contact Group appreciated African Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) for its work in Mogadishu and encouraged further immediate support including from non-traditional donors. Lord Triesman spoke about the National Reconciliation Congress (NRC) as a part of TFG's Road Map and the said ICG emphasized on its fair and equitable representation by including all the stakeholders within the Somali community and everybody who renounces violence. He said the Congress which is due to meet on June 14 must be given every chance to succeed. Ms.Frazer said the Contact Group has urged that the NRC must lead to a process of genuine political reconciliation and has agreed to fund the Congress. She spoke of the US $ 100 million committed to Somalia by her country in January this year. This include $ 57 million for the African Union Force, $ 50 million for Security Sectoral Reforms, $ 25 million for post conflict stabilization, $ 5 million for Democracy fund and $ 1.2 million for NRC. She blamed Eriteria for supporting the extremist elements and individuals including those from USA for stoking the trouble in Somalia.

^^^Now you get excited over typo's? It matters not Dheere is doing a fine job cleaning Mogadishu of the bandits what ever they may call themselves "speakers of the clan" or Looters Inc or courts or warlords. Gen Qaybdeed has also to be commended for his performance thus far.

The beauty of the siuation is that there will federations with President like Cade, though the locals have to agree to it and elect their leaders just like Cade was elected. Though M-Dheere is governor of Bandir and Mayor of Mogadishu, just like there are governors of Bari, Nugaal, Sool and mayors of every major city in Puntland. But there is only one President of Puntland HE Cade Muse Hersi I am the first to support the creation of these states across Somalia. And Mohamed Dheere can run for such an office, will he be elected? Thats up to the locals.

No the rest are his subordinates, he is the big boss, get that. Take a word from Bush he is the decider The President brought Geeddi into this game, he gave the warlords a chance and then sacked them those who reformed like Dheer and Qaybdeed got their clans positions and some tough tasks, those who became irrelevent were briefed and then went on their business. He moved Sharif Xasan and brought in his man Madoobe Mohamed Dheere insulted the President in Jowhar and now works for him in Mogadishu, Yusuf is bigger than personal vendeta. He deals with people in a much better way.
