ninyahow dadka gardheer ma lagu caayo..........sunna be ka mid tahay. Teeda kale, carabta maxaa naga galay, we don't have to follow them in their politics.
Having said that, I believe wax kasta waa tartiib.........there needs to be a common ground, wadaads are in every qabiil, so let's put the Al-Ittixad stuff behind us because it will only split us.
Nabiga (PBUH) handled things in a slow and gradual manner.
I believe I am somewhat of a 'Junior Wadaad" and I feel the wadaads need to:
1. Reach out to the well-intentioned Somali politicians who are loyal to their country, but have not yet been elevated to the elite status of 'gardheer'
If the courts lent their support (even implicit) to a Somali leader who is trustworthy, we would be making more progress than them saying: "We wanna rule the country RIGHT NOW!"2. Realize that we can't have an Islamic Khalifa overnight. They should reach a working agreement with well-intentioned Somali politicians and show a spirit of compromise and strike a deal that would allow them to establish dugsis, hospitals, education centers, and daqan celis facilities all over the country. That is more important for all Somalis than a 'wadaad' being a leader of Somalia.
3. Make a deal w/ a well-intentioned leader to allow them to advise him on matters of the benefit of the country especially in morals & education of the society.
4. Realize that by being so rigid and unwiling to compromise, they are alienating themselves from Somalis who are either neutral or are reluctantly willing to support them.
The main goal is we need to use XIKMAD and not be Islamists who are blind to the current situation of the world.
Nabiga didn't even start preaching Islam openly until after a few years, and he DIDN'T EVEN FIGHT for many years after that.
I don't beleive wadaads should fight their own non-wadaad Somalis unless they were aggressed by the warlord troublemakers.
But I don't think they should stand by idle while power is given to a Somali drunkard or unpatriotic traitor.
To be honest & with my admittedly limited understanding of the current political situation, the only Somali politician I see now who can bridge the gap between wadaads and well-intentioned Somalis who are not yet 'gardheeryaal' is:
DRUMROLL............
DRUMROLL............
Barre Hiiraale. He has proven to be:
1. Patriotic
2. Just
3. Able to Keep the Peace
