A Mafia Godfather Or A Responsible President?

 

 

 

Friday, May 13, 2005

 

Last Wednesday the 11 of May 2005, Warlord Abdullahi Yusuf and his political partner Mr. Ghedi, hurriedly organised and held an illegal meeting with 124 Somali MPs whom they had bribed with bundles of US dollars.

 

The meeting was illegal because according to the constitution, there was no any circumstance under which the president could call an emergency meeting of parliament while the ordinary seasonal meetings of the parliament were to be held on the 17 of May 2005 as the Chairman of parliament Mr. Sharif had stressed emphatically. Nevertheless, warlord Abdullahi and Mr. Ghedi did not manage to get the required number or quorum of MPs to hold such a meeting despite their falsehood wild claims in this respect.

 

At the end of that theatrical and deceptive meeting, warlord Abdullahi claimed that his government secured all laws it sought in order to bring in Ethiopian troops and other African militia armies into Mogadishu, that the government be seated at Baydhabo and Jowhar while Mogadishu be ethnically cleansed by the use of violence.

 

The question which needs to be answered is: why did warlord Abdullahi and his political partner Mr Ghedi, over stepped the law and took those dramatic and war footing decisions despite they lacked the necessary parliamentary quorum, the Somali peoples confidence and cabinet unity ? The answer is simple: The warlord realised beyond reasonable doubt that his claim to power and authority has completely collapsed and that his personal health was deteriorating fast, so he took a 'suicidal' decision that has a number of the following purposes:-

 

1. To satisfy Meles Zenawi's wishful thinking of colonising Somalia

2. Reignite clannish civil wars in Somalia, hoping he will win it

because of Meles support and other foreign powers

3. To uproot and destroy the huge resources and infrastructures in the

city of Mogadishu with regard to education, businesses, manpower,

health and religious resources and communities

4. To seize the rich provinces of Jubaland, Lower Shabele etc

5. To polarise all Somali clans and set against each other

6. To restore what he regards as the 'lost authority and dignity of

his clan' by collaborating with Meles

7. To make Somalia a hell on earth before he dies as did by Gen.

Siyad Barre who was related to Yey in clan blood

 

In sum, since warlord Abdullahi Yusuf was fraudulently declared president on 10 October 2004, his political and social behaviour and activities were similar to that of a Mafia godfather rather than a responsible president. He was totally uninspiring in speeches, management and in teamwork. He proved to be profoundly corrupt, vision less, tribalist and a national traitor who constantly panders to Meles Zenawi and anybody who would hurt Somalia by any means. Responsible Somali intellectuals have been warning the dangers being posed by warlord Abdullahi Yusuf since his unfortunate election and now all those prophetic warnings have become true, and Somalia is on the verge of a brutal and disastrous civil war. In this regard, it is understood that a number of countries are involved in the conspiracy to destroy Somalia for whatever reason and Meles Zenawi's declaration on Thursday May the 12, 2005 that there is a an Al-Qaida cell operating in Mogadishu and that Ethiopian troops will have to destroy that cell, is just the tip of the iceberg !! Woe to falsehood mongers and greedy mercenaries !! The Somali people have every right to defend their honour and their country at all costs. Eventually. right will triumph over falsehoods, deceits and hired mercenaries whether local or transnational borders.
