In Defense of Cumar Cabdirashid

[paidmonk]

In the recent "rift" and the long-standing political standoff between President Sharif and PM Cabdirashid, I don't think people 100% know what's going on and people don't know which side is more right.

Let me say, this is not an equal debate. On one side you have a brilliant, ambitious, well-connected, budding statesmen Cumar Cabdirashid, and on the other corner you have a brain dead kindergarten instructor Sharif Ahmed.

Lets just compare their achievements and work since entering office:

Sharif: Nothing.
Cabrirashid: Appropriation of the building of the Somali Naval Academy, bringing Ahlu-Sunnah wal Jameecah to the table and incorporating them into the military, bringing reer Waqoyi actors and politicians into the fold, creating a larger network of UN and Arab League actors with the gov't. If his work is undisturbed I have no doubt he can bring Silanyo to Xamar and mediate a complete withdrawal of AMISOM and ceasefire with Al-Shabaab.

The lipstick-wearing president has done absolutely nothing, he's never even filed a tax report in his life. The most recent rift you might be wondering, is about the status of Somalia and the TFG. Cumar Cabdirashid wants to move the government from a transitional role to a more permanent action role. He wants to move the government and all its functions to Garowe and incorporate Somaliland politicians into the scheme. This is all going well and that's exactly what Sharif fears, he fears a cohesive government that includes more Darood, Rahanweyn and Waqoyi actors. Sharif is of the same mentality of that nutty speaker whose tape was released a week ago; he is fighting tooth and nail to achieve a Hawiye clan stalemate in the capital and he is totally okay with constant war and the status quo of Somalia so long as his clan holds some superstitious title over a few neighborhoods in the capital.

The more you know...

You guys milked the cow now you want to take it home with you, even though it dont belong to you. Take the fat cow Cumur sxb that Dawalad is a Hawiye one.

[paidmonk]

We wanna take the cow and sell it to you guys. Cabdirashid has already had many waqoyi customers.

[Voltage]

In defense of Cumar Buur, he must be the most low-key and obscure prime minister in civil war Somalia so that must mean he is doing something right. The more public they are, the more they just want attention.

[Voltage]

Cumar cabdirashid your father was president and your son will be also president and your ancestors used to enslave Hawiye People you are a true Sayid a true Harti And a daarood King

Highly inappropriate and historically inaccurate. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Cirwaaq]

Unproductive politics.

20years of zero net change in the positive.

It is time for a koonfur centric solution, pland can continue to recieve it's 1/4 donation share over the term of the next president however both the prime minster and president post should be give to koonfur tribes.

TFG-attempt 16

President - Dir
Prime - Hawiye

In their trans period they must create 2 opposition parties.

Ukun-party
------------
Lead - Darood
supp - Dir

Talo-party
-----------
Lead - D&M
supp - Dir

The Prime Minister is singularly responsible for the chaos and mess that engulfs the Somali government. His government has failed in its most basic responsibilities. Since the inception of this government the military and police forces have been paid only ONCE, which has had a direct consequence on the security of Mogadishu. The troops that are trained overseas quickly disband because there is no government to look after them. In the 2009 budget, millions of dollars were allegedly spent on the ministry of defense- where did the money go? This PM is a walking piece of comedy. Couple days ago he spent half a million dollars on 100 MPs and yet he claims the government doesn’t have enough resources to pay the salaries of its security forces. It is truly tragic that when even so-called educated individuals fail in their most basic obligations.

To add salt to injury, this nincompoop thug wants to write a constitution that neither has the support of the Somali people nor makes basic sense. His entire thinking is to milk the resources of Mogadishu while at the same time resurrecting Garowe as the new capital of Somalia. It is a hilarious proposition and I hope the people of Mogadishu can draw lessons on the future trajectory of Somali politics and where these great talkers of Somaliweyne and Somalinimo aim to shift the realities of our country. I see this whole episode as a blessing in disguise. The likes of Sharif and the shameful class of appeasers are humiliating themselves one by one and only a new class of passionate, empowered and dynamic class of new intellectual base can come out of this mess that is in-tune with the game-plane that certain groups want to play. This is why I have always said that Hawiye needs to speak for itself because the hyenas of Somalia will spare no effort in aggrandizing the wealth and integrity of our people through the current scams that are at play in Somalia today.

Sharif has made a terrible mistake in not just nominating this pathetic potato-head, but also in the shaping of this government. He has placed his eggs in the basket of Somalia’s most incompetent and useless morons in the hope of unity and transcending clan. Instead he created division, a system of corrupt and opportunistic and greedy syndicates whose only interest is to enrich themselves while the Somali people suffer. There is no excuse for this. This PM should be given the pink-slip this week, the speaker of the Parliament should be booted out, and the parliament should be re-structured, and the entire government started from scratch.

There must a new beginning and this thuggish and deluded culture must come to an end.

Since when did Sheikh Sharif become a Hawiye leader?

[Twisted_Logic]

Since when did Sheikh Sharif become a Hawiye leader?

He is not. He is not even Agoon Yar leader let alone Harti Abgaal leader. He never was and this why he needs to step down.

[Cirwaaq]

Hawiye are far too considerate for their own good. That commited against southern tribes for 20years by outsiders would never be allowed in Gerowe or Hargiesa.

Why is that?

southern tribes have the flag of somaliweyn pulled over their eyes for 20years and they have just began to wonder what their world looks like without the lens of somaliweyn!

The passion can start in the diaspora and the revolution of koonfur politics will finally germinate into a reality.

He is not. He is not even Agoon Yar leader let alone Harti Abgaal leader. He never was and this why he needs to step down.

In your opinion that is why he needs to step down but even during civil war if Abgaal was not able to have enough influence in Mogadishu to warrant the presidential title, what makes you think being an Abgaal leader will situate him as leader today when clans and ability to influence Mogadishu do not function in the equation?

In any case, they both need to step down. Sheikh Sharif is in his position because as the figurehead of ICU, it was thought he would be in a position to negotiate with Shabaab. That did not become apparent. And Cumar Buur was brought in by the UN to have a non-Islamist puppet who would not disturb the Abdullahi Yusuf era power structure. All he does is eat and sleep.

Abgaal didn't have influence in Mogadishu during the civil war? Your understanding as always is specious. The influence of Mudulood in Mogadishu is not in question here- it never was. So, you can keep your silly conclusions to yourself.

Clan does function and informs the socio-political realities of decisions made by the different groups. Who do you think is Al Shabab's "governor" for Mogadishu? What about Hizb-ul-Islam's "governor" of Mogadishu? and How about the TFG's governor for Mogadishu? They are all Mudulood; so obviously these groups have an understanding of who is driving the reality of the city-state. So your inference is totally pathetic.

About your last statement that both the President and PM need to step down, AMEN. It is the only right thing.

[Murax]

I think all of You Guys take this TFG way too seriously as if they are in control of any of Somalia's affairs. Somalia today is Shabab and AMISOM. On paper Somalia is basically under the trusteeship of IGAD and the African Union, but on the ground it is a international terrorist orginization that is physically in control and it is those two who are vying for control. TFG is completely irrelevant and nothing more than a smokescreen for other actors to do what they want to do i.e Shabab, AMISOM, UN, etc. take things for what they are

[Air Canada]

Sharif is of the same mentality of that nutty speaker whose tape was released a week ago;

The only language these people understand is that of qabyaalad. Look at this guy accusing shariif of being a qabiilist. Shariif is not someone we don't know. We know how he thinks and what type of person he is like. Accuse him of anything but you can't tell us he is a qabiilist. They said Abdiqassim Salad (a true statesman) is a qabiilist and now it is the same with sharif. Walaahi the only people i would let Binti-landers do business with are maxamed dheere and salad cali Jeelle. Kuwaas ee is af fahmi lahaayen not someone like shariif who knows nothing about qabyaalad.

If Nabi maxamed (pbuh) was Hawiye i know Binti-landers would not listen his message.

[AhlulbaytSoldier]

The reason why this govt is not moving is because of fatboy.
Giving the money and weapons to punaniland while telling tfg soldiers to join alshabaab.

He should be beheaded.
