Moses Wetangula says Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf is an obstacle to peace in Somalia. The sanctions will include a travel ban and freezing any of his assets in Kenya. Tuesday's announcement is a strong public rebuke and it comes as Somalia's government is in turmoil. Yusuf fired the prime minister this week, but parliament soundly rejected the decision. It's not clear what will become of Somalia's U.N.-backed administration — particularly as it wields virtually no authority(WHICH IS THE POINT FOR ALL YOU BUDDING CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYERS ) in the face of powerful Islamic insurgents who have taken over most of the country.
