USA to TFG: Leave the Sheriff Alone: CONDEMNS The TFG

US slams Somali speaker's sacking
Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan
Somalia's speaker wanted to have talks with the Islamists
Senior US diplomat Jendayi Frazer has criticised a move by Somalia's parliament to sack its speaker.

Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan was removed for having unauthorised talks with the Islamists, who controlled much of southern Somalia until last month.

He also opposed Ethiopia's intervention to help drive the Islamists out.

Ms Frazer said that a spirit of reconciliation was needed in Somalia, and the no-confidence motion was likely to have a negative impact on dialogue.

Last week, the US launched air strikes in the far south of Somalia against the routed Islamist group, who they accuse of harbouring al-Qaeda members suspected of bombing US embassies in East Africa and a 2002 attack on Israeli targets in Kenya.


POSSIBLE PEACEKEEPERS
8,000-strong force proposed
Uganda: 1,500 troops offered, subject to parliamentary approval
Tanzania: Considering
Nigeria: Considering
Rwanda: Considering
South Africa: Considering but forces stretched

The Islamists denied they were sheltering senior al-Qaeda operatives.

Mr Adan had fallen out with both the interim president and the prime minister over recent developments in Somalia.

But Ms Frazer said the past had to be left behind.

"The symbol of the president and the prime minister combining to push him out is counter to that spirit of reconciliation," the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs told a conference in Washington on the Somali crisis.

"Going forward requires one thing, it requires reconciliation."

Mr Adan, currently on a tour of Europe, said the Ethiopian occupation meant decisions by MPs were null and void.

Ethiopia is estimated to have some 8,000 troops in Somalia help, which it is keen to remove as soon as possible.

Peacekeeping

Meanwhile, UN envoy Francois Lonseny Fall has held discussions with President Abdullahi Yusuf in the capital, Mogadishu.

"To see the president in Villa Somalia [the official residence of Somali presidents] is a very important step. We have to move step by step and we need all efforts to get this country rebuilt," he told reporters, AP news agency reports.

Mr Yusuf went to Mogadishu last week, for the first time since being elected in 2004.

Regional diplomats are trying muster enough troops for an 8,000-strong African force for Somalia.

So far only Uganda has agreed to provide peacekeepers.

On Tuesday, the leaders of Ethiopia and Kenya said several African countries had offered to contribute troops to the force.

Both South Africa and Tanzania have said it is too early to decide whether they will contribute troops to the proposed African peacekeeping force.

The South African deputy foreign minister, Aziz Pahad, said in a BBC interview that while the need was urgent, his country's armed forces were already over-stretched, with a number of peacekeeping missions in Africa.

Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete earlier told the BBC that any troop deployment must first be discussed with military leaders.

Nigeria and Uganda are set to discuss the issue at the end of the month and BBC African analyst Martin Plaut says it would take weeks for any troops to be deployed.

He says that if the Ethiopian forces withdraw before peacekeepers arrive, that could result in a dangerous power vacuum.

Mozambique said they will send some troops.......maybe they should be send to Baraawe since they speak Portoguese over there.

[musika man]

mudane abdiwahab, you know that was a cheap theatrical play. the ethiopians call the shots, the americans control ethiopia. it is music for lama goodleey ears, publicity gaining the hearts of the somalis. sharif's fate was longtime decided by fraser.

[xoogSADE14]

Shariif is an opportunist piece of sh!t.

bal maxuu isugu dhajinaayay gudoomiyonimada barlamaan uu ugu wacay "laheeysteyaal"?

[AbdiWahab252]

xoogsade:

It is PAX AMERICANA. The Americans are in charge.

So do as they say or they will cut off the little lifeline given to the TFG & returned to the Hawiye factional leaders.

Musika:

Brother, you are correct. The TFG actually thinks they are in CHARGE based on their own power and not that of the Ethios/Americans.

Abdullahi Yusuf thinks he is Afweyne

[xoogSADE14]

AW

ninyahow ninweeyn baad tahee afkaaga fiirso oo marxuumka ha ceeynin.

tan labaad waxaan eey mareeykanka sheegayaan waa iska sheeko. and why would they give the hawiye mooryaans money when they've all been disarmed?

Xoog

Qolyahan hadaad Janadii dhex gaysana peace and tranquility ma rabaan oo wey isga soo bixi lahayeen baan u maleynaa..

Did you notice how AW turned the Hawiye propaganda machine once adeerkiis Qaybdid was back
but Aidid Jr, Geedi and A. Yusuf and Hiiraale are ctually the ones calling the shots now and not the Qanyare , the Yalaxow.etc.??


back to the topic...I agree with Muzika this is a pulicity stunt..the guy is gone .

[Sir-Luggoyo]

Well, there is no doubt that the Americans are calling the shots, and we know that the TFG is just nominal, they ain't nothing but simple stooges who would do what they are told. If the Americans tell them to jump, the question will be "How high Sir?"

So, if they want the Speaker to be re-nominated, then that is what it will be, no questions will be asked.



XoogSade,

The Speaker has a responsibility towards the Somali ppl who elected him, and he can't just leave the fate of the country in the hands of these warthogs, there has to be someone who has the guts to say NO to the midget.

[highclass]

Yesterdays BBC really messed TFG up!!!


It just proves to you that TFG don't want shit for somalia,

[Cawar]

"The Speaker has a responsibility towards the Somali ppl who elected him,"


Looooooooooooooooooooool. So now the speaker was elected by the somali ppl??
the same ppl who also elected the president?? ring any bell Sir-Lug??

Shariff held the job before Ethios.
The first thing to do is liberate the country. Then talk about xil.
Now Ethiopia has been politely requested to come with a "Reer Baidoa person" to continue the servitude.

[xoogSADE14]

Sir Lug

this might come as a shock to you but i'd actually trust my life with A/Yusuf (whom i'm not particularly fond of or even like) than with Shariif who'll just sell me out to the highest bidder.

eelaayga waxiisu flip-flopping xataa weey dhaafeen.

AW and his ilk want to the get the best of both worlds, mooryaanimo & dawladnimo. taasina cid ka yeeleeysa malaha maantoo carigoo dhan dawlada ka taliso?

[AbdiWahab252]

Xoog & Cawar:

U too are in no position to make any demands.

Wlc to Xamar. Wlc to Hawiyistan. As a guest in Hawiyistan, I want to give you some tips to ensure your well being and safety:


1. The Days of Darood Power are over -

Remember every Hawiye from the TFG to the shoeshine kid will not allow any Darood sheninagans like the old days.

2. The TFG is a Guest

As all guests, they should walk & tread lighty and show respect to the locals. Once guests forget the hospitality of their hosts, they will be shown the door.

3. Language

Referring to locals as Mooryaan or using any cheap Darood language could result in the offender being kicked out.

[Cawar]

^^Wake up and smell the coffee Hawiye boy...

The TFG is Hawiye, is Darod and YES just like the old days xamar belongs to each and every Somali.

No one is interested in ruling anyone here..but all you say is Beerka janatay bogga jecli...like duq weyn..

Cawar:

Like I said, I am giving this advice to you two chaps cause I consider you "allies"
