Awoowe, I recall when the election of Hassan Sheikh was greeted as ushering in a new beginning for a “rising” nation. It is unbelievable how the “phoenix” we were all cheering for is today at a frightening crossroads of “block vs. block”. If anything, the squandered goodwill, the “Zero-Sum Game” and the clannish sentiments in display at Villa Somalia teach us one important lesson: the value of good counsel. It is my hope our president seeks the good counsel he badly needs. Xiinoow, waakaa Cayne shaati kuu soo huwaday. Is that how it is done nowadays? Gartay!! I think the president is not being driven by clannish agenda but simply lost control of the situation on the ground. It would be difficult for anyone to be on top of the game in a messy country like Somalia. President Xassan has his own government guarded by the Africans and is at the same time fighting a tough war with Alshabaab, building an almost non-existent state institutions, catering for the demands of all the rival clans, negotiating with regional administrations, reclaiming lost sovereignty from the international community, building security forces, raising funds for a bankrupt nation, kick starting a collapsed economy, building a devastated capital, defending Somalia's maritime borders, and last but not least desperately trying to prevent the secession of almost a third of his country's population. I think the guy should be given the benefit of the doubt and people should be patient because Somalia will not be fixed with a magic spell.

There are lots of these shareholder-owned businesses popping up in Somaliland these days. I think you should pay for expert services of one of the many accountancy firms in London. On of them advertises itself everyday on LBC radio.

Xaabsade is a great leader. I hope he becomes the president of Somaliland in the near future.

Abtigiis;952483 wrote: Dear Qansaxmeygaag, But clearly that normative discussion on what the legislative should do is irrelevant at this stage in the case of Jubbaland. One, the Jubballand process preceded the new parliament and was a work on progress. At least that is the claim of its proponents. Second, the proposed 'top-down' approach of appointing a Governor to regions who will in turn lead the process of the formation of regional states may look as a way of circumventing the bottom-up approach and I personally think it will do more harm than good. The drawback of the current format of clans establishing regional states is not perfect but I believe it is more practical than to ask the legislative (itself divided along clan lines as we can see whenever the submit motions) to take charge of. The moment the Governor you appointed for Bay and Bakool is seen to be favouring a particular clan, you will have raging battles in the same Parliament and accusations that the Federal Government or part of it is supporting this clan against that clan. The proposed top-down approach is therefore not an insurance against clan tussle; it merely exports the tussles at community level to the parliament stage. Third, even if that approach is to be used for upcoming regional states, its relevance for Jubbaland is clearly undermined by the current reality. The only way it can work for Jubbas is if it is supported by a military campaign against the pro-Jubbaland forces. If you endorse that option, let me know. My argument will then go back to what I posted above about what the government to do to stop IGAD and others seen as the funders of the project. The Jubbaland can only be derailed if the clans in that region start fighting each other. It cannot be stopped just because the President is insisting on some legalistic processes that in effect are blunt instruments. Even if the top-down approach is adopted and implemented, I doubt if it will cater for the needs of different regions. I don't think one fit for all format is the right way for the various challenges in different regions. As many others noticed, I may be too quick to write-off the President. I agree we should give him time -at least the four first term years - to see if his approaches bear fruit. If they do, fine. If they don't then I may bore you with "I told you so" baloney, but far more than my advertisement of self-worth is the stake of Somalia. Somalia will be in bad shape and that is the tragedy. Ngonge, Chimera is a genius, whether you like it or not. But his list of achievement of the government is selective and exaggerated. I deal with some of the things he ascribed for the government and the government's role is pathetic. Furthermore, all of the things he listed are the least that worry me now. The main political issues that can make or break Somalia are not in Chimera's list. I agree with you about the criticality of addressing the internal problems rather than exaggerate the international gains, which in the real sense amount to nothing and do not change the living conditions of Somalis. Giving Somalia's airspace from UNDP to government is an inconsequential and symbolic victory, whose lustre will fade in few weeks. It means little to the millions of Somalis suffering from war and hunger . You are right about that. Chimera's enthusiasm is well placed but the truth is the Somali Republic of the 1980s had all that he listed and much more yet disappeared into the dustbin of history because of internal problems.

I like the variety and combination of the instruments they used, beautiful.
