We are all familiar with the recent quarrel between the President and the PM. Today 7 cabinet members have expressed their solidarity with the President. Things don't look good for Saciid. The parliament will be the key driving source to putting an end to this debacle. Will the soft spoken Jawaari show leadership and drive the outcome of this quarrel. Or will he sit back and allow parliament to get out of control? This is truly a test for Jawaari and this is his moment to shine. This outcome will be very telling for Jawaari, because depending on how it is handled, perhaps Saciid shouldn't be the only one who goes...

^^^^ Loooooool

That is the point of this entire debacle initiated by the President. To get people to think a change in PM will actually catalyze change. You have bought the lie Xiino!

Under my understanding this primeminister, president role is some kind balance of power between HAG groups and sahal or should i say power sharing. Anyways this system clearly isn't working never has, so i dont see a purpose with it. my two cents ilma adereeyaal. I don't think a change in constitution will do much. We Somalis like to treat the constitution in a similar light as those of the west. But the thing is the constitution is no holy document in Somalia. It has no strong historical legacy nor was it organically produced nor does the document itself or the idea of such a document suit our culture. In Somalia, the constitution is no more than a piece of paper. And that is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps this will change in the future. But for now we must just realize this. And yea the president and prime minister is a means of balancing power. And I think that is probably why there is often clashes regarding the roles of the President and Prime Minister, given no leader, as a representative of a clan, will want to be just a 'figure head' or simply the 'ceremonial' leader. he has expectations to live up to and must honor his constituency. I agree the entire system is flawed. Contradictions rooted everywhere. What do we do Sheikh Cadale? It seems Somalia has become the modern Sisyphus

Why don't you address the topic rather than making personal attacks you arrogant technocrat!

Can we have an honest discussion regarding the recovery of frozen assets delegated to Schulman & Rogers? Many of you in your quraba-joog lands may have bought the propagandized image of a 'peaceful' and 'functional' Somalia. Some of you may have succumbed to the white man's smile and believe all of this "pledged" money, $2.4 billion to be exact, will actually reach Somalia? Some of you may be enslaved my ideals and principles, and that is commendable, but that does not pay the bills. The fact of the matter Government lacks funds. With what is expected and with what is had, it is almost laughable, if it wasn't sad. With this, the government is unsustainable, incapable, weak, and much more. I know people in xamar who have worked for the government for years without getting a salary, ten years for one guy in particular. There are untouched assets sitting abroad in the west. Funds that belong to Somalia. Funds that are not considered 'humanitarian aid'. And funds that are made reachable with a third party law firm. Yes there is a hefty finder's fee. This is not unique to Somalia. This is the business. what is x% of 0? These funds were previously inaccessible. Yes some of these funds may go unaccounted for. To think corruption doesn't exist in Somalia or that corruption will magically disappear in the next few years is naive. The government must continue to operate despite such setbacks. Are we to put a hiatus on the government until corruption subsides? Does the sick wait to ingest medicine until he has healed?

Though I wished she stayed, I would agree in saying she doesn't "understand the Somali way." Yes the Central Bank of Somalia Act does give the bank autonomy and it should do so in practice. But of course these 'articles' and 'clauses' for all practical purposes don't really matter. We are a country that are just transitioning from over twenty years of lawlessness, at least of formal law. What did Yussur expect? For these dusty acts and bills to be taken off the shelf and the government to act in full accordance? For the President to attend to all her inquiries with only four weeks on the job, with most of her time spent abroad? These things take time. Yussur should have understood that and work accordingly instead of provoking a full out scandal because of the potential 'opening' of doors of corruption. Yussur will be received as a hero. A strong figure who stood her ground and held strong to her 'personal values'. Though with all idealism aside, this is not a testament of strength, but rather one of weakness. Somalia does not need 'personal values'. It needs patience. It needs flexibility. It needs calm . It needs understanding. These are not values of an individual but rather one of a nation.

Well this clears up some things. Those should note there is a difference between being asked to 'partake' in corruption and doing things that may 'open' the door to corruption. A much softer allegation, if an allegation at all.

Many of these words were coined during the Kacaan era with the establishment of a Somali educational curriculum. Given such there are no established equivalents for words like string theory...

Safferz;985336 wrote: Is this not in violation of international human rights law? Were Somali refugees in Kenya consulted before drafting the agreement? What does "voluntary repatriation" even mean, and how will it be implemented? I'm interested to know what resettlement and reintegration plan will be in place to prevent the refugees in Kenya from becoming internally displaced people... I'm not sure whether the conditions in Somalia can even accommodate large scale returns. Human rights is irrelevant. Kenya has successfully coined this issue as a matter of "national security". coincidentally the most recent headlines read "Kenya IDS 2nd mall attacker as 'ex Somali refugee'. The fact of the matter is Kenyans do not want Somalis in their country. Raids in eastleigh has been occurring on a nightly basis. Many of those who have already returned left out of fear and insecurity. Under the Voluntary Repatriation: International Protection Handbook, established by UNHCR, this is not voluntary repatriation, nevertheless it is considered so. We are talking 300 people alone arrested in one night. It doesn't matter if you have paper work or not. Rumor has it cops pay a hefty fee to get stationed in eastleigh, as it is a very lucrative post. but that is besides the point. I take the escalation of these raids as a means of swaying Somalis towards this 'voluntary repatriation'. The Somali high commission for refugees has been running for no more than 3 months... IDPS in Somalia are rampant. The Somali PM (or should I say former Somali PM), Saciid Shirdon is quoted saying “While we view our returning people as an asset,not a liability, the fact is that my government does not have the capacity to provide housing and other needs for such a large number of people.” Though for the unemployed elite, this will create a vacuum of jobs for the technocrat. Perhaps you need to come to Africa saffy

Conspiracy is coincidence's favorite tool. Keep in mind it is nearing the one year anniversary of the Somali SFG-officially when the cabinet was nominated. The gov is in and preparing for celebratation while of course this gives shabaab more reason to attack.

Loool my b. Kenya its part of The Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act. Was working on something and came across it
