Coloow Posted January 5, 2007 ^^^^ You may claim that there are a few in the IUC leadership who fit in the description of warlords.. but compared to the above people, they are saints. Sxb. You are making a mockery of the word process by stating "The process for the TFG was out in the open ". What you call a "process" ended up in giving us 70+ cabinet that consisted of who is who in regards to warlordism. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liqaye Posted January 5, 2007 The civil society was was tried in Arta 2000 the goverment wasstill born in a matter of months, right now the warlords are even nominally under control [unless gedi and co. give them the opportunity to break the leash] better to have a warlord inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in, a lesson the the T.N.G can so fully attest to.

xiinfaniin Posted January 5, 2007 Baashi, What you fear is inevitable as long Ethiopia is on Somali soil yaa Baashi! Instead of calling for its withdrawal, the world will understand why Ethiopia is there. With TFG as its diplomatic cover, and pursue of the Courts remnants as a pretext for its military activities, it’s hard to imagine Ethiopia withdrawing any time soon. Short of another Somali reconciliation, the future of Somalia looks bleak. Edit-do you not think TFG lacks legitimacy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saints? That certainly is your opinion. And it is about as valid as those who hail the TFG 'warlords'. Sxb. You are making a mockery of the word process by stating "The process for the TFG was out in the open ". What you call a "process" ended up in giving us 70+ cabinet that consisted of who is who in regards to warlordism. A flawed process is nevertheless a process. The ICU cannot claim any process whatsoever however flawed. And yes - 70 cabinet members is a travesty. But then the process can be revised and retooled. Ahh the inestimable benefits of a process.

A realistic alternative; the TFG adopts Sharia' as the system that will govern Somalis. Unfortunately, the constitutions of Ethiopia and the US forbid Somalis from adopting Sharia' as their system of governance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
