Somalia not ready for peacekeepers - Sudan army NAIROBI (Reuters) - Sudan is ready to contribute troops to a peacekeeping force for Somalia but at the moment the situation in the Horn of Africa country is not suitable for such a mission, the Sudanese military said on Thursday. The African Union approved a plan last week to send Ugandan and Sudanese troops to help the government relocate to Somalia, which remains a patchwork of fiefdoms ruled by rival warlords. Asked if the situation in Somalia was conducive to a peacekeeping force, Sudanese Armed Forces Chief of Staff Abbas Arabi said without elaborating: "Not yet. It is not ready." "But we are ready (when the situation becomes suitable)," he added in answer to questions at a news conference held jointly with Kenyan Internal Security Minister John Michuki. Somalia collapsed into chaos after the overthrow of military ruler Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991, and conflict and famine have killed hundreds of thousands of people since then. President Abdullahi Yusuf's government -- the 14th attempt at effective administration in almost as many years -- has been based in Kenya since last year where it was formed at peace talks. The AU did not say when troops, assembled by regional mediation body IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) would go in, and it urged Yusuf's government to resolve an internal row over where the administration should be based. Yusuf wants to temporarily move the administration to the southwestern town of Baidoa and Jowhar, a town near Mogadishu, saying they will go to Mogadishu when security permits. But a rival wing of Yusuf's government wants him to base the government in Mogadishu and says deploying peacekeeping troops before the government solves its row will only worsen matters. Baidoa is currently held by a militia boss opposed to Yusuf and there have been reports that several militia chiefs allied to Yusuf are gathering armed forces in the vicinity, according to humanitarian sources in Nairobi. The AU has about 2,200 soldiers in Sudan's western Darfur region to monitor a ceasefire between rebels and the government. The first of 10,000 U.N. peacekeepers have started arriving in southern Sudan following a peace deal that ended 21 years of civil war.

^^ Do you want to supply him with a third wife, why are you concerned with what he is married to..cajiib what is with you and Yeey and your interests in other peoples wife?

^^^Looool...!

^^ It is quite amusing you dont notice those who are predicting, according to them, the imminent war which according to them and I quote "will be a deciding one". Hence my friend see me my post as a response to a hypothetical threat. I do not at any time condone nor wish for a civil friend, and believe me you I have seen at first hand the side effects of a civil war I pray that no Somali person is condemned to undergo that stage again. However much I respect your criticism I would , on the other hand, kindly request not to be biassed in future observances.

Originally posted by Peace Action: Carta failed because of Abdiqasim's rush to Mog instead of going to Baydhabo until Mog is safe for the gov. Wrong, Carta failed because it did not embrace nor include the Warlords that had the power base in Somalia. eg. Colonel Yeey. In comparison with Carta the Mbagathi government had all the major ingredients that could for once be said that it is a Unifying government. All major Warlords were included and infact they have elected unanimously one of their own as a President, Yeey. But it is failing and has failed to live to its promises and expectation, that is an issue open to debate, as to why it has failed. Though it can be said it is beyond argument now to state it as being a failed attempt.

This is not a coalition of tribal affiliation nor for the seeking of superiority, it is on the contrary based on the tenet to find peaceful solution in the path to reconcile Somalia. Above all it is a coalition which has so bravely withstood and became an obstacle to the ill-deceived intentions of the megalamoniac leader , namely President Yeey. The charecters you mentioned Caato, Qanyare & Al-xaaji Muse Sudi are the backbone of the coalition simply cause they pose a powerful threat to the military action of Yeey. This coalition have made sure so far A) to pacify and disarm militias in Mogadishu, B) they have succeded in uniting and training militias C) they are making sure that forces pro-Ethiopia dont capture Bay-Dhabo, D) stopped the parliament from passing a bill which would have given Ethiopian forces to engage in Somalia ( in here am disregarding the kangarro parliament meeting held by Yeey a week ago), E) this coalition has brought together factions which were at war against each other before and work jointly for the betterment of Somalia. Their succes story so far outshines the desperation of Yeey who has a view of ruling Somalia through fear and division of tribal structure.They have the support of ordinary Somalis from different spectrum in the whole wide World. Simply cause these coalition led by , not Caato,Qanyare or even Alxaaji Sudi, but by Sharif Xassan are protecting the constitution, credibility and dignity of first and foremost the Somali people and secondly of the Transitional Parliament. code: Will Yeey’s gov finish its term just like Abdiqasim’s? Will Somalia’s situation improve in anyway or get worse? The question in here should be , will it ever start? On the latter part of your question, Yes Inshallah Somalia will improve much to the disappointment of Yeey.

Somali divisions widen as speaker leaves Kenya By Mohamed Ali Bile MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somalia's parliament speaker flew to Mogadishu from Kenya on Sunday to try to install the assembly in the capital, deepening a rift within the government over where it should be based. The dispute has increased power struggles within President Abdullahi Yusuf's government, which has worked from offices in Kenya since it was formed there at peace talks last year. Yusuf and his supporters want to base the administration outside the lawless capital, which they say is too dangerous. The government intends to disarm all militias in the anarchic country and establish an effective administration for the first time in 14 years. Its location is a key security issue for the Horn of Africa, a region long buffeted by Somalia's political turmoil. The speaker, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan, flew to Mogadishu to back his view that the capital should host the government and to protest against a parliamentary vote supervised by Yusuf last week to site the administration in two provincial towns, aides said. Diplomats said Adan, who took no part in the session, had been humiliated by Yusuf's action. Adan, who flew from Nairobi accompanied by some 20 MPs, questioned whether the vote carried credible political support since about 100 members of the 275-strong body are currently in Somalia, many of them staying away from Nairobi as a protest against Yusuf's policies. (^^ Note Duke this is a quote from Reuters and not from a Pukeland Media ) An aide to Prime Minister Mohamed Ali Gedi said he took note of Adan's move but the government was carrying on with its plan to relocate to the towns of Baidoa and Jowhar. The aide said Gedi would announce a cabinet reshuffle on Monday, but did not elaborate. Somalia collapsed into chaos after the overthrow of military ruler Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991, and conflict and famine have killed hundreds of thousands of people since then.

Is this another coincidence: Somalia Has Become a Safe Haven for Terrorists in East Africa, U.S. General Says By By CHRIS TOMLINSON Associated Press Writer ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia May 13, 2005 — Somalia has become a safe haven for terrorists in East Africa and the government-in-exile must take power to restore law and order to the Horn of Africa nation, the commander of a U.S. counterterrorism task force said Friday. U.S. Marine Maj. Gen. Samuel Helland, the commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, said American troops were working with Somalia's neighbors to improve their border security since U.S. pressure on the al-Qaida terror group in Pakistan and Afghanistan may force some members to seek refuge in East Africa. "Somalia is a safe haven, it is ungoverned space," Helland told The Associated Press in an interview from his headquarters in Djibouti. "We, the international community, have to do something to take away that safe haven." He said Somalia's government-in-exile, formed last year in Kenya after three years of peace talks, needs to assert itself inside Somalia and introduces law and order. On Thursday, the African Union authorized deployment of 1,700 peacekeepers to Somalia to help secure the transitional government as it heads home. The Ugandan and Sudanese troops will be deployed in the towns of Baidoa and Jowhar, from where the government will operate temporarily because the Somali capital is unsafe, the AU's Said Djinnit said. Somalia has been without a central government since clan-based warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. Warlords then turned on each other, plunging the Horn of Africa nation of 7 million into anarchy. Somalia's government has been based in neighboring Kenya since it was formed in 2004 because the capital, Mogadishu, is considered unsafe. The government is opposed by Islamic extremists and some of the dozens of warlords in the country. Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi told AP on Thursday that an al-Qaida terror cell was "very active" in Mogadishu, but that a Somali government was the best bet for dealing with the problem. Helland spoke to AP as he prepared to end his one-year command of the task force

African peacekeepers would worsen Somali crisis - faction Fri May 13, 2005 2:18 PM GMT+02:00 By William Maclean NAIROBI (Reuters) - African nations will worsen Somalia's crisis if they send in peacekeepers before the government has solved a row over where it should be based, one wing of the divided administration said on Friday. "Any deployment without a solution of this dispute is not helpful and will contribute to the crisis," Deputy Prime Minister Mohamud Ali Jama said by telephone from Mogadishu. Jama, also information minister in the Horn of Africa country's embattled administration, speaks for a Mogadishu-based faction that opposes President Abdullahi Yusuf's plans to base his administration outside the capital in Baidoa and Jowhar. Jama was commenting on the Africa Union's approval of a plan to send more than 1,000 troops to help Yusuf's government relocate from Kenya where it has worked since it was formed there at peace talks last year. In Addis Ababa, the 53-nation AU authorised the east African peace body, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), on Thursday evening to send a peace force to Somalia to help the government establish itself. It did not say where the force would be stationed. The force of Ugandan and Sudanese troops would protect the government and help with disarmament, AU peace and security chief Said Djinnit said in a statement. He said the force would deploy "within weeks" but acknowledged there was no money as yet to fund it and he appealed to the international community to provide financing. Jama said the move was premature because it did not have the agreement of all players in the government. "If IGAD deploys troops in Baidoa and Jowhar without a consensus they will do so at their own risk. It will encourage one side to pursue its unilateral ambitions and discourage dialogue and reconciliation," Jama said. Yusuf plans to set up his government outside Mogadishu, arguing the city is too dangerous. The heavily armed warlords whom Jama speaks for want Yusuf to come to Mogadishu, saying they can take care of security. "The Mogadishu faction does not speak for public opinion in the capital, where people are tired of roadblocks, militia taxes and terrorism," an aide to Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Gedi said. "We welcome the decision of the AU and we are packing our bags to leave Kenya as soon as possible," he said. At the core of the dispute is mistrust among many warlords, especially those based in Mogadishu, of the intentions of Yusuf's main foreign sponsor Ethiopia, Somalia's historic foe. Many among the overwhelmingly Muslim 10 million population are hostile to what they see as attempts by their big, nominally Christian-led neighbour to dictate events in the region. Regional tensions rose sharply this week when a group of Somali MPs accused Ethiopia of sending troops across the border to back militias friendly to Yusuf. Ethiopia denies the charge. Somalia collapsed into chaos after the overthrow of military ruler Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991. Conflict and famine have killed hundreds of thousands of people since then. Members of Yusuf's cabinet and parliament have been arguing for months about several matters including where to be based once they go home, but speaker and president have rarely exposed their differences so openly or strongly as they have this week. Parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan said on Thursday he would leave Kenya on Saturday and install a rival assembly in Mogadishu, a move diplomats said would institutionalise the rift in Yusuf's cabinet.

Tolstoy your points well understood and it is obvious it was an expected implications on the sudden convening of a parliament meeting by Yeey. He obviously mis-calculated the domino reaction his hasty decission will result in, unless he was looking forward to this political instability. Quoting you : What this "Mugadisho-Wing" will be attempting to do at that time, is to revoke the legitimacy of Col. Yey in the eyes of the international community as a president of the TFG; because as it so happens for now he is still the TFG president by right, but if they were successful in impeaching him, then in that case his legitimacy will be in question, by firstly, the EU and US, who will be saying any political pronouncement made by Col. Yey's government or for that matter his Prime-Minister Mr. Ghedi is not worthy of the paper is written on. On your latter assumption is quite clear the cloud of doubt gathers over the intention of Yeey and Geedi, but what am interested is could the Lawmakers in Mogadishu joined by those in Nairobi under the head of Sharif call for the impeachment of the Yeey and would it actually be acceptable as a legal binding, or will it classify as worthless as the actions of Yeey in the recent meeting?

Ethiopia: al-Qaida Operating in Somalia By CHRIS TOMLINSON, Associated Press Writer May 12, 2005 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Ethiopia's prime minister said Thursday he believes it is common knowledge that an al-Qaida terror cell is operating in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, and that only a stable central government can end the chaos in the Horn of Africa country and eliminate terrorist threats. In an interview with The Associated Press, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said his government supported the transitional Somali government that was formed in neighboring Kenya last year and would do everything possible to help that government take power. He said, though, he would only send troops to Somalia in self defense, since it is up to Somalis themselves to install the first effective central government in 14 years. "Wherever there is distress, wherever there is acute poverty, social dislocation, the potential for a terrorist state exists," Meles said. "We have a very active terrorist cell in Mogadishu, which has been involved in terrorist activities in Kenya." Kenya was the site of two major terrorist attacks. A car bomb destroyed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, and a car bomb was detonated outside of a hotel on the Indian Ocean coast in 2002. The masterminds of both attacks reportedly fled to Somalia, though most Somalis reject that claim. Somalia has been without a central government since clan-based warlords overthrew the dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. Warlords then turned on each other, plunging the nation of 7 million into anarchy. An estimated 10,500 armed fighters operate in Mogadishu. The African Union Peace and Security Council, also based in Addis Ababa, met Thursday to discuss plans to send troops to Somalia to guarantee the safety of the government-in-exile, which was formed after two years of peace talks in Kenya. The international community needs to be more proactive in helping the Somali government establish itself, African Union Commission Chairman Alpha Oumar Konare told the meeting. "Should the international community fail to act decisively to sustain the gains of the reconciliation process, there is a risk that the effort thus far deployed will be put to waste," said Konare. Meles told AP the new government stood the best chance of shutting down the terror cell in Somalia. "We have offered to help," Meles said. "Should the process collapse -- we very much hope it doesn't but if it does -- we plan to protect ourselves, not sort out the mess in Somalia." In an African Union report obtained by AP, officials proposed that a 1,700-strong peacekeeping force go to Somalia two weeks ahead of the government's return to the country, and stay for nine months to protect the government, secure supply routes and carry out reconnaissance missions. The report, which is being discussed at the African Union Peace and Security Council meeting, says the force will be composed equally of troops from Uganda and Sudan and will cost $100 million. Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi told journalists his government will relocate to Somalia by month's end and the proposed peacekeeping force will join them there. "We think we can bring stabilization to Somalia and pacification within nine months," Gedi said. Source: AP, May 12, 2005

If you dont know anything about the constitution shut your gob. And MP's are are not Pukelanders collected from Eastleigh in order to make up the number. You mention loosing .

Somali peace process flounders as rift deepens Thu May 12, 2005 2:32 PM GMT+02:00 By William Maclean NAIROBI (Reuters) - Somali peace efforts drifted towards acrimonious collapse on Thursday when the government's leaders split openly over where to base it, a vital security issue for a region long buffeted by the country's militia chaos. A row over where to install President Abdullahi Yusuf's government has exposed deepening power struggles among the warlords in his troubled administration, which has worked from Kenya since it was formed there at peace talks last year. Parliament speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan said he would leave Kenya on Saturday and instal a rival assembly in Mogadishu, a move diplomats said would institutionalise the rift in Yusuf's cabinet of heavily-armed warlords and politicians. At the core of the dispute is mistrust among many warlords, especially those based in Mogadishu, of the intentions of Yusuf's main foreign sponsor Ethiopia, Somalia's historic foe. Many among the overwhemlingly Muslim 10 million population are hostile to what they see as attempts by their big, nominally Christian-led neighbour to dictate events in the region. Regional tensions rose sharply this week when a group of Somali MPs accused Ethiopia of sending troops across the border to back militias friendly to Yusuf. Ethiopia denies the charge. Adan announced his move after a parliament session summoned by Yusuf voted narrowly to follow a recommendation by the president and his Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Gedi to relocate the government to the towns of Jowhar and Baidoa by June 10. Adan, who favours a move to the capital Mogadishu, did not attend the session and added that by summoning the assembly Yusuf had exceeded the powers accorded him under a transitional constitution. Adan said summoning the assembly was his job. Adan and many analysts questioned whether the vote carried credible political support since more than 100 members of the 275-strong body are currently in Somalia, many of them staying away from Nairobi as a protest against Yusuf's policies. SPLINTER GOVERNMENT "I do not understand the haste and why parliament is not convened when all the MPs are there," Adan said. Gedi's spokesman, Abdulrahman Dinari, condemned Adan's planned move to the volatile costal city of one million. "If he goes ahead and forms a splinter government in Mogadishu, as he claims, then he should know that he will go down in history as the person who single-handedly destroyed the outcome of the peace process," he said. Somalia collapsed into chaos after the overthrow of military ruler Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991. Conflict and famine have killed hundreds of thousands of people since then. Members of Yusuf's cabinet and parliament have been arguing for months about several matters including where to be based once they go home, but speaker and president have rarely exposed their differences so openly or strongly as they have this week. A pro-Yusuf faction wants the administration to be based temporarily in Baidoa and Jowhar, arguing Mogadishu is too dangerous. It also wants African Union (AU) peacekeepers to deploy to restore order and help establish the government, which has no revenues of its own. An anti-Yusuf faction of ministers who have their powerbases in Mogadishu says the government should go straight to the traditional capital. They dislike the idea of foreign troops and adamantly oppose Ethiopia contributing troops for such a force. "The peace process is in danger of dying, and sparking a war with regional implications, unless Yusuf can repair ties to the Mogadishu group," a diplomat from a European Union country said. In Addis Ababa, the AU urged the international community to intervene to end the wrangling. "Should the international community fail to act decisively to sustain the gains of the reconciliation process, there is risk that the efforts thus far deployed would be put to waste," AU Commission chairman Alpha Oumar Konare Chairman said.
