OLOL   

By his own admission, Yeey has said that his first year as the president of the poor failed state of Somalia has been a total failure. The warlord turned president credits the failure and breakdown of his incompetent destitute government to the international community whom he blames of refusing to come to his help since he was selected president of Somalia by his peers of warlords and clannish opportunists.

 

Yeey also blames his political enemies at home for this failure. Yeey has so far to acknowledge the shortcomings of his SRRC clique, a consortium of warlords loyal to the Meles regime in Addis Ababa and the incompetence that is characteristic of his nepotistic political advisors mostly from his clannish enclave of Puntland.

 

Laying this preposterous blame on the international community without mentioning failures of his presidency and inept government is a clear demonstration of the lack of honesty and objectivity. True to his approach and mark, Yeey known quite well by the dubious distinction of acting on his autocratic impulse and never admitting his political blunder before thinking of the horrible consequences, is continuing to shift the blame of the failure of his leadership to others.

 

So far the warlord turned-president was successful to accrue all the top positions of this transitional government. He has appointed himself the president, the speaker and the prime minister. He dissolved and abrogated the legislature and dismissed the honorable speaker as ill-bred lackey for the Mogadishu warlords.A government for his clique, by him and of his whims is what Yeey believes. A government for the people, by the people and of the people still remains a remote possibility for most Somalis since Yeey came to power a year ago by Ethiopian backing. While the three branches of government - the executive, legislative and judiciary - are to provide the necessary checks and balances on one another to facilitate a functioning democratic process, Yeey has made these institutions insignificant and inexistent. This warlord turned president is the exemplary typical dictator who will not tolerate seperation of power, transparency and democratic accountability.

 

 

One of the important elements reached in the bogus peace accord in Nairobi which was agreed upon by all of the warring factions was the need to have the Somali military restructured to reflect regional/clan balance. Instead, without consulting the rest of the warlords, Yeey all alone called for the historical foe of Somalia, the much hated and despised Tigre armed forces who oppress Somalis in O.G.A.D.E.N region to invade Somalia, disguising as peace keepers. He sent his militia clansmen to Godey to be trained and equipped with arsenal in order to attack and conquer his rival warlords.

 

 

Yeey belongs to the sort of people, read WARLORDS, who are good at destroying rather than building. He is not a nation builder. He has completed his proverbial mission, which is throwing the country back to its earlier stages of division and hatred. His record is full of clannish deceptions and shady manipulations designed purely to empower his clique at the expense of the nation.

 

The verdict of most peace loving Somalis is that Yeey lacks the political will and competence to effect the necessary political change Somalia desperately needs. As long as he remains president, reconciliation, genuine peace and stability will remain elusive and circumstances in Somalia will further worsen.

 

And that's why he must come to realize the inevitable reality that he cannot serve any useful purpose for the country at all by offering his immediate resignation and departure from politics. A warlord is always a warlord. Somalia indeed deserves better. Yeey and all other warlord friends must go....
