http://wikileaks.org/cable/2009/08/09NAIROBI1732.htmlDuring an August 15 conversation with the Somalia
Unit, TFG Minister of Defense "Gandi" confirmed TFG
involvement in an evolving Darod/Kabalah/Obsame plan to take
Kismayo and consolidate control of Lower Juba (refs a,b).
"Gandi" said the TFG in March began to talk to local players
in Juba, to include Ras Kamboni leaders Ahmed Madobe and
Ibrahim Shukri, in an effort to reconcile differences and
obtain their cooperation. "Gandi" said that President Sharif
fully supports the plan, and that it remains closely held
within the TFG. "Gandi" said the offensive must take place
before mid-October in order to take advantage of current
weather conditions that complicate al-Shabaab's efforts to
re-supply through the port of Kismayo. The force in Lower
Juba will consist of Darod/Kabalah clan militia but will not
include Darod/Marehan militia from the Gedo region. Gandi
said Marehan involvement in the effort to take Kismayo would
be "horrible" and stated firmly "the Marehan can not go to
Kismayo." Ogaden militia, in cooperation with Marehan militia
leaders, might go to Gedo to assist Marehan militia against
al-Shabaab in that region, but "Gandi" said this would be a
last resort because of the long-standing tensions between the
two Darod subclans. "Gandi" said Ethiopian-backed Marehan
proxy Barre Hirale and Darod/Kabalah/Harti/Majerteen warlord
General Morgan are not involved in the TFG's plan in Gedo or
Lower Juba. "Gandi" said he had full confidence in Shukri's
commitment to the TFG but described Madobe as a "complex" but
militarily necessary participant. "Gandi" said that the TFG
is in negotiations with the Kenyans regarding support for the
plan. He declared that "the Kenyans are ready to help us,"
but said the plan would move forward with or without Kenyan
support (ref c). "Gandi" hoped that AMISOM might be able to
provide artillery or aerial support to the offensive.

Re: wikileaks : prof ghandi mindset
He is stating the obvious...Marehan forces in Lower Jubba would just exacerbate clan hostilities and the same with Ogaden in Gedo.because of the long-standing tensions between the
two Darod subclans.
Nothing wrong with separating troops along clan lines, its much more effective.Cabaas was sabotaging the Dhobley operations and Ogadeen troops were doing the same in Ceelwaaq, now the situation is back to the original plan these soldiers are not professional and will not die in another clans territory especially a hostile one.

Lower Juba is not a Ogadeen only region, whereas Gedo is a Marehan only region. Thats why Col Cabaas forces went took control of Dhoobley, there goal was to stay there and wait for Barre Hiiraale and the back up army longside him. However the battles in Gedo got harder since more Al-Shabaab troops from Xamar came to Bay and Bakool to blow a offense to Gedo. Thats why Col Cabaas and his army was called by the leaders in Gedo to help them out. After Gedo is properly pacified, Barre Hiiraale and Col Cabaas will take some of the army in Gedo to Kismaayo.
Since Col Cabaas left the Cagdheers are begging for us to return to Dhoobley cause Al-Shabaab are coming, now that the warriors left Dhoobley
