His administration will be remembered primarily for two things: security and financial reforms. They have managed to professionalize the SNA and decrease the dependency on regional and clan militias. There's now a core professional force including the officer Corps that can be built on. The administration also managed to diversify the recruitment process. SNA has individuals from every part of Somalia though the majority is still from the central and southwest regions. Fahad reorganized NISA and turn into a functioning and professional agency. In actual confrontations, SNA defeated Al-Shabab or repulsed their acts. Of course, their numbers are still limited and the arms embargo is not helping. More importantly, the lack of unified politics means they will always fight with one hand tied behind their back. I do honestly believe a combined SNA and regional forces can defeat AS, but that requires leadership. His rigidity meant there was no possibility of a unified security plan that would involve SNA and regional Darwish. AMISOM is still here in the form of ATMIS. That said, the administration has managed to change the mandate despite enormous pressure from many groups. There is now a framework for ATMIS exit. The next leader if sincere can manage to use this mandate for ATMIS exit by continuing to build on the SNA improvement. ATMIS framework includes a pathway to lifting the arms embargo. The financial reforms the administration instituted allowed steady salaries for all civil servants including the SNA. The civil service and SNA got their salaries even when some countries stopped their budgetary support. The reforms facilitated the loan forgiveness process. The admin improved the revenue collection process which allowed an increase in the tax collection. The Central Bank assumed its rightful place. Deloitte & Touche LLP gave the bank a clean bill of health following an audit of the bank’s 2020 Financial Statements. For the first time, the incoming government might actually have funds in the bank. It must be noted that SNA soldiers used to be paid 100 dollars. It is now 450. Finally, Farmajo's admin was comparatively less corrupt. And as a person, his even opponents admitted he has not amassed personal wealth at the expense of the public and government. No hotels and villas in or outside Somalia. The stability he and Hassan Kheyre created allowed things to happen. It had an unfortunate end as we know, but that's something the next admin can learn from. That was the longest relationship between any Somali president and his PM

I would say the Farmaajo era showed the need for real institutions, a proper judiciary including a constitutional court, professional civil service, and a well-trained police force. More importantly, we need 1q1c. The fate of millions of Somalis can't be in the hands of few men.

That makes sense. It is a good to start for Sharif if he is indeed in Sharif's camp.

Whether he is or not, it's time for him to move on. Even if he wins, he lost some authority. My thing has to do the hypocrisy of those accusing him of everything under the sun while they themselves engage in whatever they accused him of.

LOL it's generally hard to govern an unruly camel herders. Farmaajo will be gone or sooner later. As for the rest, it's amusing to find some of my tolka sharing a ride with trouble makers and indignant secessionists. it's safe to assume when these groups agree on something, they are usually in the wrong.

You know a man is on the right track when secessionists, Puntland political 'elite', Mogadishu political mafia, and every rascal is singing the same tune. Wax cagliga gali kara noo sheeg.

LOL I don't have heroes. I wish there were actual Somali heroes who care about the Somali masses.
