MOGADISHU, Somalia Oct 24 (Garowe Online) - A political dispute is brewing between Somalia's top leaders over the naming of a new Cabinet, government sources tell Garowe Online.

Somali President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed wants to include his "political allies" in the new Cabinet, which Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmake is expected to name soon.

The new Cabinet will be much smaller and is expected to consist of less than 20 ministers, down from 39 ministers currently in office.

President Sheikh Sharif wants his allies to be part of the new Cabinet, according to ministers familiar with the ongoing dispute.

But Prime Minister Sharmake has refused to include some of the President's suggested ministers in the new Cabinet, including current Finance Minister Sharif Hassan, Fisheries Minister Abdirahman Ibbi and Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed "Jengeli."

"This is the second dispute between them [Sheikh Sharif and Sharmake] and Cabinet ministers close to the President are involved," said a senior government source speaking on the condition of anonymity, who added that the dispute has been presented to international diplomats.

Both President Sheikh Sharif and Prime Minister Sharmake are currently out of the country. The Prime Minister is expected to announce the new Cabinet minister after he returns from London.

Unconfirmed reports said Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Ghelle is also involved in the dispute, with reports saying that Ghelle is pressuring Somali government leaders to appoint Mr. Mohamed Abdullahi Oomar back to his former post as Somali foreign minister.

This loser Ibbi makes way too much noise for a practically unknown turd from an unknown insignificant clan. Sack him and let him be dwell in his former obscurity.

Boqor I'm with you on this one, I would support alxaraam and xisbul sheyaadiin before cabinet containg following prostitues, thugs and pimps C/raxmaan Xaaji Ibbi, Shariif Xasan Sh. Aadan, Qamar Aadan Cali & Cali Axmed Jangeli.

The new cabinet should consist of the most qualified individuals, not some old sidekicks. That fat bastard from Djibouti should stay away from Somali politics unless there is mediation involved between the warring parties.

wa iska useless bunch, who have pick a fight with the wrong Political party in Somalia. The Prime Minister will take care of them inshallah.

ps: These guys forgot who their Boss was and the Prime Minister, is about to give them a reminder.

Cumar Abdi have to play serious political game, I think she should start collecting big money from donor countries to his swiss bank account, nacalaa ku taal koley tan dowlad ma ah, he should steal $30 million plus like gheedi fanaxey.

yeah this isn't a dowlad but it's his job to turn it into one. And the first step is taking out from the cabinet the likes of Sharif Hassan, abdirahman ibbi iyo Ali Ahmed Jengeli, these guys bring nothing to the table and are corrupt.

Cumar isn't Gheedi just like A/Y he is a man of Principals, who his family name is well respected in the Somali circles and around the world.

You guys are all wrong.

Ibbi represent the Dir Clan which include Isaaq and Gedabursi which rule Djibouti. Also, Shariif Xassan represent Digil iyo Mirifle which if he is not respected would join alshabaab.

Jangili represent inta kuhadasho afka qaldaamiinta

Shariif Hassan must get finance minister, or else, we're impeaching that fat boy

Walahi I don't get it? This Ibbi and Sharif Hassan are both from masaakiin ass clans, how come they're f-king barking like they invented political power? WTF?


Don't sack them, kill them.

He is corrupt and that is wellknown, he should be sacked and replaced by a fellow D&M, just like Geedi was. It is important that D&M should get a seat

Who can replace him?

For the average Somali, what good is gonna do sacking, replacing or naming new ministers? What does the TFG controls? Villa Somalia and the airport? With the help of AMISOM and American drones? Al-Shabaab is running a real parallel government complete with courts that administer justice, fairness, punishments, etc. What Al-Shabaab does directly affects the average Somali. The TFG is irrelevant.

The guy is a shame to Somalia iyo Beesha. Beesha can do better than Shariif Hassan Shirib. Perhaps your Father.
