There is a lot of ambiguity about the rift between the Prime Minister and the President, and especially what side the Ethiopians will be. For most part, the Prime Minister is down-playing the relevance of the division and Abdullahi Yusuf. Another thing I have noticed is that the Prime Minister is playing his card very intelligently, and for most part people have no idea what his reaction to any moves by Abdullahi Yusuf and his supporter will be. On the other hand, it is pretty much out in the open what Abdullahi Yusuf’s intentions are and how he is going to use his cards. I also feel that it is very important to note on the Prime Ministers to adopt to a simultaneous two contrasting strategies, that while he is consolidating his rule and gaining support from the Hawiye clan and meeting with other Somali clans, he is also stockpiling a huge amount of weapons and getting reading for perhaps a military showdown with Abdullahi Yusuf in Mogadishu. I was also puzzled as to why the Prime Minister has not even bothered about going to Baidoba, and try to perhaps win support from the parliament, if things were as desperate as the media and Pro-Abdullahi Yusuf and his supporters will like to believe.
I will be very interested in knowing what the future will hold for the TFG and how it will shape out. But one thing is clear, and that is that Abdullahi Yusuf has driven himself to a peculiar point of no return. He has openly stated that he wants the Prime Minister out, and if things don’t go his way, he has the most to lose politically and will run the risk of being irrelevant once again in Somali politics. To me I think the simple fact of Gheedi keeping his cool and down-playing the whole thing points to a confidence on Gheedi’s part which stand’s as a sharp contrast to Abdullahi Yusuf’s intentions, which in all honesty makes him seem as a desperate man. I feel that Abdullahi Yusuf has everything to lose if things don’t go his way.
All of you lets not get carried away. Theres not going to be any "showdown" in Xamar between anybody. Whether AY or Ghedi stays depends on the mood of Gen Gabre, Mesfin and ultimately Meles Zenawi. We'll see who gets in Zenawi's good graces by then.

Good question. One thing Ghedi has going for him is that he's younger, and will be able to be a dutiful slave for Zenawi for years and years to come, unlike AY who probably doesn't have a lot of years left.
