Hits the nail right on the head
This new Prime-Minister of Somalia is not a person who has any clean hands from the most corrupt practices that could of been exposed how deeply it goes in both the British government and the federal government of Somalia, if the SFO case were to have been allowed to get to court, since, the usual standard for the SFO is to say, there is no evidence for any case that the government of the day would wish to bury it. And, in fact, if that case were to have been allowed to come to court, the likes of Micheal Howard (and to some extend, Mr Cameron’s financial advisers) would of been implicated in this case, in an open court. Which is the reason the whole thing was thrown out by the political interference of the British government.
And this of course, will mean, that I expect (and you should too), that, this new Prime-Minister to be the one that signed the multi-decades Gas extraction deal the UK government was after it from Somalia since it’s strategically acute for UK to get a non-stop stream of secure Gas for its citizens (to warm their homes during the winter) from somewhere they could politically ensure the leaders there have already being “purchased” (to be bit crude about it) in advance. Hence, the UK have decided from 2011 (at the earliest) to do all it can to firstly, create a friendly government in Somalia (and you can do that through the fig-leaf of the UN’s offices for Somalia). And secondly, ensure that government, when it becomes a legitimate government to sign for you a legal contract that will be binding to all successor governments of Somalia. And at the same time can guarantee that the deal is large enough (or it produce large enough of a Gas) that can take the place the depleted North Sea Oil Gas output will be vacating once these North Sea’s Offshore wells run out of Gas in the coming decades.
And, finally, when I said, that I really do follow the acts, the money, and the decision they make, when it comes to understanding the politics of Somalia, as opposed to paying attention to their talks and sweet words, this exactly what I had in mind. In other words, anyone who knew the murky background of this Soma Gas and Oil outfit, and knew how it was meant to be the “Trojan horse”, that will sign the deal with British Oil Major, on behalf of Somalia, could easily know how the dots fits in together, particularly with him being appointed as the Somalia’s Prime-Minister.
And, most crucially of all, how Mr Farmaajo’s silly talk of upending the culture of corruption within the body-politic of Somalia, is so much of hot air, particularly, when you contrast that assertion of his with reality of seeing him appointing a Prime-Minister, who would of been exposed as a “co-conspirator” of a major Bribery case involving a senior UK’s politician, if by chance, the UK’s government of David Cameron of the time hadn’t “leaned” on the British’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to throw away the case for supposedly a lack of prosecute-able evidence that can stand up to the high bar of legal scrutiny. Which means, he has a “dark closet” with British government, in which in turn, it will make him to look “favorably” any deal that may be involve with British’s major Gas and Oil outfit, who will soon descent on Somalia, looking for a piece of action.
Pity, really. For there was folks who thought that Somalia has turned the corner in this recent selection. When in fact, all that has happened is that they basically changed shirts for that particularly lucrative line of work of milking the state’s legal arm to feather-bed their own wallets, which is their preferred line of daily work, while at the same time talking about a good game of being anti-corruption new government for Somalia.
