Don't mistake me for being a fan of Sheik Sharif. This man is a lunatic but I give credit where credit is due. I had hoped for Cabdiweli to have been the smarter man and avoided being a poodle of Faroole and sought the seat free and clear without being known as Puntland'sMan (PM) instead of a Prime Minister for all of Somalia. That being said why embarrass himself by running for a clan state ?
Abdiwahab,
I do not understand why Abdiweli is the object of your criticism. Surely if the only reason he became PM is because of the MJ seat, why would he be faulted for being a PM for the Puntland people? Say, he was a PM "for all of Somalia", then the people of Puntland would feel he did not represent them well. Pretty much "damned if you do and damned if you don't'" scenario.
The object of your criticism should lie with the 4.5 system and not Abdiweli.As long as 4.5 exists we will have people that serve their clan interests before the interests of the country. As long as 4.5 exists we will have the "less qualified" in positions where worthier people should hold. As long as this backwards system exists we will have leaders that dissappoint us.
