My Prediction: Abdullahi Ahmed Addow Will Win !

[AbdiWahab252]

Mark my words, Abdullahi Ahmed Addow will win Mahiga's Circus due to the following reasons:

1. Vast experience in government and a better grasp of the realities of governing the most ungovernable people in the world

2. Was never involved in the Somali civil war

3. Has no enemies in the region: AMISOM, IGAD etc

4. A consensus candidate - since he hasn't be in politics for over 23 years, he doesn't have a recent history to judge against him

5. Hails from the Hawiye tribe yet hasn't been seen as being proHG or proHawiye so that makes him acceptable to all other nonHawiyes

6. Unlike Abdullahi Yusuf (AUN) or Abdiqassim Salat Hasan, he refused to buy MP candidates and lost both times but was vindicated when the two winners
failed to even form marginally successful governments. Abdiqassim's kiss of death was his Islamist leanings in a George Bush post911 world. Abdullahi Yusuf's
kiss of death was his public association with Ethiopia and his willingness to tow the Ethiopian line even though the vast majority of Somalis hate the Ethiopian
government.


He is the quiet candidate who is practicing quiet diplomacy while the rest are extremely public.

Now you are probably wondering why I may seem supportive of Abdullahi Addow and not the others. This is due to him being the most experienced and the guy with the least number of enemies. His shaati is about as clean as you can get in the current field and is the most acceptable to backers of the new government. He is not an Islamist, warlordist, or factional leader.

Yes, he and I come from the same juffo but the past has shown the Addow never really did squat for my juffo. We chalk it up to him being a Brawani or his uncanny self interest. So a President Addow won't do much for me but he won't harm my economic interest.

I regrettably endorse him as the most palatable choice for President and I will be proven right next week inshallah !

Murax,

Better move quick before her head swells and competition stiffens. As her Abti, I will advocate on your behalf even though you cut me out of a sweet IPHONE deal in 2009


Coolman,

I doubt it ina adeer. Its his time to shine and after the loss of Sharif Sakiin's choice for Parliament, it shows there is an antiincumbent, anticorruption feeling. You can always pocket the cash but vote differently.

Sareedo,

Wa duq adeer ii ah oo qaraabo yihin odeeygi Gurxan (AUN).


Metamorphis,

Why not the half french daughters of my relative, President Gaandhi ?

[Executive]

Am surprised Abdiwahab supports a Said Barre Loyalist, this guy even gave his daughter to Said Barre's son. What happened to being a hardcore USCer?

[Siciid85]

What is his foreign policy towards the great nation of Somaliland? currently i have no favorite individual that i want to win the Somalia presidential
seat.

Anything but sheikh sharif. Matag aya dhuunta i imaado when i hear his name. God i hate selloutsIII

See what I mean. The candidate choices are so awful that Caadow is the most palatable. Again, AW would profit more under a Farmaajo, Abdiweli, or Sharif Ahmed government but those govts would waste another 4 years and achieve nothing. I can't stand the winters any more and worry that there will be a day when we all will flee for SOmalia when antiMuslim sentiments get out of hand in the West.

[Advo]

aslong as Shariif aint in office I am good

[SultanOrder]

Sounds like a great candidate. I am in love with the quality of Somalis stepping up for their chances for leadership. Badiyo, Gas, Farmaajo, ina nuur, Abshir guy, Warfaa, Samatr, etc

[fiiltare]

This guy run for President twice and lose both times, first he lost to Abdiqazim in 2000 and to Abdulahi Yusuf in 2004 he is more like the Republican Thomas E Dewey.

[TeAmo]

Will he also be Mahiga's little pet? Since it sounds like that's who's bringing him to the table? As long as he doesn't take Bantu orders, is not a thief, sellout or an Aidthiopian lover everyone is happy. He was a Afweyne loyalist not saying that's a good thing but it is an advantage because it means he saw what a great country Mr Barre gave us and has the same ambitions of making Somalia shine again so we can all return.
