The government is a weak transitional one. It needs every one.

Have you been following the original plans of the armies that have been trained for the FSG in Kenya? I hope you do know what I am talking about but you need to collect some fast facts to make you points.
JL= Jubaland, ML= Mudug land. If you understood what PL stands then you could understand from the context I guess.
Anyhow I believe the naive Sherif is good only at tour classes by Walled Abdella and money collection. It is been year and half, yet ho got nothing to show except useless pics on the net.

Your rhetoric doesn't match the reality.
The Somali troops being organized and assembled in Kenya are not clan militias as you hope but part of a plan by the International Community to bolster the government by recruiting, arming and organizing troops for the TFG. The Kenyan government wants to restrict the power projections of Al Shabab and its ability to threaten Kenya by arming and training troops for the Somali government that are meant to create a buffer-zone for the Kenyans. The Ethiopians, Jabuti, Uganada are also doing the same thing. The organization of militias along clan-lines are counter-productive and will only complicate the Somali situation and no-one in their right minds will allow this for numerous reasons and chief among it is that it undermines the power and legitimacy of this government that the International Community has invested in so much. So, it is a ignorant simplification to label the troops that are being organized in Kenya as a clan militia. If these clan-elders that you talk so highly of, they would be organizing and recruiting on the Somali side of the border and not Kenya
I don't understand JL because I deal with entities that exist. There is no way you are going to compare Jubbaland with Puntland
Sh Sharif is only "naive" to you. He has reached this far because of his naivete.
The reality on the ground doesn't show single success of the naive Sherif.

On top of that wiilasha laga soo aruurshay in the mid of Gariisa and the refugee camps were trained to fight around the border and heart of JL( not in Moqadhiso which has enough troops already). The exdefense minister Professor Gandhi was nominated to follow up as a planning head the contract and he recruited around 2500 soldiers who are brave enough to weaken the power of the opponents with the hep of the locals, educators and elders of Gedo and JL. The international( and the local) communities, FSG and Kenyan government are aware of the transplant plan of the contract mission. But as long as KT Zenawi don't feel comfortable with a such a plan just out of fear was suspended.
It's federal transitional government, and if you don't see importance of JL or other to be born states (and wants of the local people ) how would you win against your opponents?
The clan militia of Cabdiqadiid, qanyare, Farole and Adan Xaashi who were trained in Ethiopia or DJabouti are not more significant than those who are being denied to go after AS in Jubaland.
The reason I call the Sherif naive and stupid is he doesn't know his friend from his foes.
What would he achieve in begging the Arab world that he can't keep up with the magnitude of the danger political wave that is going under his table? You might need to read more in to it !
