'Politics behind Somalia PM resignation'

[udun]

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed resigned on Sunday as Somalia Prime Minister to avert further chaos in the country and because the United States and United Nations failed to support him, a US lobbyist for Somalia says.

“Given the fact that the UN and US appear indifferent to good governance in Somalia and only seem to want shallow 'happy face' agreements between the president and speaker, the prime minister felt he had no choice,” John Zagemy, a lobbyist for New York-based Park Strategies, told the Nation.

“Pure politics trumped performance.”

Parliament Speaker Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden insisted that Mr Mohamed, better known as Farmaajo, step down as specified under the terms of an agreement recently negotiated in Kampala.

Farmaajo initially refused, saying Parliament must first either accept or reject the Kampala accord. Thousands of Somalis as well as several members of Parliament crossed clan lines to voice support for Farmaajo, who had been widely seen as one of the most effective political leaders during the past 20 years of anarchy in Somalia.

But the Obama administration and the UN remained conspicuously silent on Farmaajo's status.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni also played a key role in forcing Farmaajo to quit, the New York Times reported on Monday.

Uganda holds considerable sway over Somalia's Transitional Federal Government because Ugandan soldiers are the decisive element in the African Union force that is keeping the TFG from being overthrown by Islamist insurgents.

“The only glimmer of hope in this fiasco is that the interim prime minister [Abdiweli Mohamed Ali] is also a good guy who's honest and competent,” Mr Zagemy says.

“Unfortunately, those don't seem to be saving virtues in Somalia.”

First it was Keyse Abdi Yusuf, then three top guys of Khusuusiga, one Hassan Ugaas, one Qayaat and another one. What's next?

Ali Sabaray or Xaglotoosiye will have a meeting with Siilaanyo in Hergeisa.

So now the cat is the bag. The Ugandans were carrying out orders after all. It seems in New Yok and Washington DC, the motto is a road block on any Somali government progress, and we Somalis are obsessed with clannish bickering, and if we blame any one else, it is Ethiopia. Well, you now know who was pulling the strings behind the scene. We shall see how they deal with the new PM Abdiweli even tough it is obvious that due to the 50/50 ratio between the two stooges, Shariif Axmed and Shariif Sakiin, no government would be effective in that ratio. At the end of the date, decisions originate from Washington DC and New York, they trickle down to Nairobi, Addis Abeba, and Kampala, and they are finally translated into internal Somali bickering.

If the word idiot has any meaning, it is definitely applicable to us, Somalis.

Ali Sabarey is honest man. He defintely wants to do the right thing by his people. But he found himself in a thicket of thieves. This man must be saluted. The Reer Cali Maxamuud have always been Mujaahids and they were the bulwark of the Darwiish movement. Special kudos to Mujaahid Xirsi Cartan Boos.

Xaglatoosiye is an ambitious young man who thought his wealth would translate into authority in Somalia. He too was played more devious charlatans with sinister designs for the Dhulbahante tribe.

Ma kuwan SSC ku sheegta?

Mock my words, Xaglotoosiye or Ali Sabaray will either both or one of them become "Pro-SOMALILAND".

I said this on June 22nd 2011. I'm the Dhulbahante Nostradamus.

Xaglatoosiye 8 to 1 odds to become Somalidiid

Ali Sabarey 5000 to 1 odds. Very long odds

Your country is ruled by non-somalis, a news?

The whole reason SSC was created by certain individual, such as Xaglotoosiye, Ali Sabaray, Keyse Abdi Yusuf, Abdirizaq Gacmay, and more were to build their own Political Legitimacy, so they can have legit creditability to offer to Somaliland and gain some position from Somaliland, all under the name of holding a high position in a SSC entity.

This was a preordained shit, formed by guys such as Keyse Abdi Yusuf for their own self-gains.

Do you think Keyse Abdi Yusuf would've be taken serious, had he not been part of a "SSC entity"?

[eyes-only]

The title is misleading. It doesn't say anything other than regurgitate what's already been reported.

If all this was the work of Museveni, then well done to him. It seems like a smart way to get things moving.

Somalis need to get over their misguided and poisonous self serving nationalism.

There is no boogeyman. Accept the help and restore peace and prosperity....that should be the only focus and issue. We should not be wasting time attacking other people who are trying to defuse the situation like Museveni. He stands to gain a lot of respect by being the man who brought back peace to Somalia...I say Somalis should help him get that respect.

Or I guess we can continue barking at the wrong tree.

Do you really think that Uganda is working for Somalias interest?

Xaglatoosiye is a mere amanuensis. Look beyond him and you will see the Dark Lord slouching toward Somaliland.

I bet you a thousand dollars that Xaglotoosiye and Ali Sabaray will either BOTH or one of them flee to the Somalidiid side.
