Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmajo has expressed confidence in his government's ability to restore peace in the country.

Speaking after a security meeting with his Cabinet and top military officials on Sunday in Mogadishu, he reminded them of the need to remain focused on the government's pledge to deliver good results in its first 100 days in office.

The Deputy Army Commander, General Abdikarim Farah Dhegabadan, put forward the Transitional Federal Government's determination to fight what he called a ‘bunch of terrorists’.

He urged al-Shabaab, the most radical Islamist group opposing the government, to refrain from luring children into the war through misinformation.

“The Somali children are the future of this country,” remarked Gen Dhegabadan. “We want them to be immune from any harm,” he added.

Al-Shabaab (meaning Youth in Arabic) often draws its loyalists from schools and Dugsi Quran (Koran school).

Lasting benefits

The underage are often lured by the promise that jihad (holy war) has lasting benefits.

The deputy army commander reiterated the army’s commitment to fight any group influenced by foreign jihadists and hiding behind the banner of Islam.

He's giving himself 100 days to deliver "some" results? You've got to give it to this guy, he's much better at this game than his predecessor.

People with plannings and structures get somewhere in life, and Farmaajo is setting a example and hope to the poor Somalis that suffered 20 years of inhumane war, from clan rebels to so-called religious rebels. Instead of saying something bad lets make du'a for Farmaajo inshallah.

Actually if you are not blind you can read that he states that he is giving himself 100 days to deliver "good results"
