Somalia's defence minister Yusuf Mohammed Siad resigns
Wednesday, June 09, 2010
Somalia's defence minister, who is leading the fight against Islamist insurgents, has resigned from the embattled transitional government.
Yusuf Mohammed Siad, a close ally of Islamist President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, said he was leaving as the government had failed to restore order.
Two other ministers tendered their resignation letters from London and another from neighbouring Kenya.
Much of southern Somalia is under the control of al-Qaeda inspired militants.
The country has not had a unified functioning government since 1991.
Blow
BBC Somali Service analyst Mohamed Mohamed says it is a major blow to President Ahmed, a moderate Islamist who came to power 18 months ago heading a UN-backed unity government.
"I realised that my government cannot do its job"
Like the president, Mr Siad was a leader of the Union of Islamic Courts, which controlled most of southern Somalia for six months in 2006, and was spearheading the fight about the militants, he says.
"Everyone has to evaluate himself before others judge his failure, and that is what I did before resigning," Mr Siad told Reuters news agency after he announced his resignation in Mogadishu.
"I realised that my government cannot do its job."
The other ministers who resigned are:
Mohamed Abdullahi Omaar - responsible for higher education
Hassan Moalim - state minister for the presidency
Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, minister of international co-operation.
The government rules only a few strategic square kilometres of the capital - with the help of a 5,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force.
Correspondents says the president has become increasingly unpopular, amid charges his government has been corrupt and ineffective.
Meanwhile, his introduction of Sharia law to the Muslim country has not appeased the Islamist militias fighting the government.
Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes in two decades of conflict that has created one of the world's worst humanitarian emergencies.

Re: Surprising news for Shirib's people
Hutu,
How about the crimes Indha-Cadde committed against Dhobley? This focker and drug lord committed so many crimes against Ogaadeen. Remember that he was responsible for Huuraale's Kismaayo control for ten years....I remember an interview where the BBC had with Indhacade and a lame Absame Jubbooyinka Suldaan called Sonkor few days after Dhoobley massacre. Indha-Cadde basically bullied the old man. He was even threating him live on the radio.....Man that was Absame's worst decade in Jubooyinka where their cities were occupied and set fire and their Suldaan were bullied on live interviews.....
And then when the Ethiopians chased the ICU, the same people he was killing saved his ass in Jubboyinka.

AUN to the beesha Cagdheer. They are almost 5million yet they see Indhacadde as small hitler and his militia as SS.

Hutu,
Something happened to Absame at that period of time because they were so divided that nobody cared about them...I remember even Huuraale at that time saying somethig like there is no SPM because all their leaders and intellectuals are eating Qaad in Nairobi....But guess what every clan has his high and low days...Ours was from mid 1990s to mid 2000s....
