Another suicide bombing by the Shabab militant group occurred Wednesday at the Somali National Theater. It appears that, the more the Shabab lose ground to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG), the more desperate the terrorist group becomes. In terrorist parlance, Wednesday’s blast targeted ‘a soft target’ for the extremist organization-- an unarmed civilian audience that was in the theater to celebrate what it saw as Mogadishu’s return to normalcy. After all, that same theater had been out of commission for over 20 years due to the civil war. The Somali Prime Minister, Abdiwali Ali, and seven other ministers were at the theater when a female suicide bomber, strapped with explosives, detonated the bomb. The death toll was low but tragic nonetheless. Aden Yabarrow Wiish, President of the Somali Olympic Committee, and Said Mohamed Nur, Chairman of the Somali Football Federation, were among those dead. The suicide bombing was a work of the Shabab because the terrorist group, in a Twitter message, took full responsibility for the heinous crime. “Everything was carefully planned and orchestrated,” read the message. But the Shabab claimed that the explosives had been planted in the theater in advance, hence, denying the fact that a female suicide-bomber was behind the attack. The denial is another attempt by the Shabab to conceal the fact that the militant group used a woman to execute the bombing. . The group has yet to assign its leaders to undertake these suicide bombings. It is always the poor youth who are assigned in these deadly missions. The Prime Minister as a Primary Target Prime Minister Dr. Abdiweli Ali One of the main goals of the suicide mission was to take out the Prime Minister (PM) and several of his ministers. If successful, this would have effectively liquidated, for the first time, a high- profile member of the TFG. Fortunately, the attempt was unsuccessful. PM Abdiweli has been an irritating thorn in the flesh of the Shabab. Under his administration, the Shabab, once a solid front, increasingly became a tattered one, and the radical group began diminishing and retreating. One might argue that the major accomplishment of Abdiweli’s government has been the systematic eroding of the power of the Shabab which had Mogadishu a cauldron of violence. The group was eventually driven out of Mogadishu. To his credit, Abdiweli is not as ostentatious as his forerunner, Farmajo; the two are polar opposites. Abdiweli is a highly educated economist leading a battered country, and he takes a more goal-oriented approach than his predecessor. . He is not given to issuing loud proclamations nor does he engage in hectoring. He neither has Sado Ali, the famous Somali artist, singing for him nor does he receive laudatory coverage from the renowned cartoonist, Amin Amir. Perhaps, what Somalia needs at this juncture is not a politician who is adept with slogans, and powerful performance at mass rallies, but instead a leader who sets goals and follows them. The country had, for over 20 years, empty promises and dashed hopes. In essence, there had been too much focus on flamboyance and less emphasis on concrete plans with a deadline for fulfillment. The Roadmap, though possessing generic flaws, has obviously been a glimmer of hope. There has been a semblance of agreement among some of the main Somali regions to determine the future of the national government and end the perpetual transition that the country has become accustomed to. The more there is progress seen in reconciliation among Somali regions the more the Shabab become unsettled. Any attempt to form a national government means a successful encroachment on the terrorist organization that still controls parts of the country. The TFG, for the last several months, has been busy meeting the benchmarks of the Roadmap. The draft constitution is in the throes of discussion and ultimately will be ratified by a national constitutional assembly, a new parliament is due to be sworn in June, and finally a new federal government afterwards. These benchmarks, though challenging, were unthinkable not long ago in a country that had been engulfed by civil war for many years. Normalcy has begun to settle on Mogadishu after the expulsion of the Shabab. Many Somalis have been returning to the capital, business has been booming, and an element of optimism has been rising to the surface in the capital. But the Shabab has a long history of sketching a future of unremitting violence. Security Breach The recent blast exposed a glaring security breach in the Somali government. How did a suicide bomber manage to come close to the very podium on which the PM was speaking? There is no convincing explanation for that security violation. The breach was a manifestation of a chronic weakness in the government’s security apparatus. It is the same old story; a Shabab suicide-bomber makes headway in a gathering attended by cabinet ministers, and, then, boom! Two years ago, four government ministers and many graduating students met a grim fate after a terrorist detonated a bomb at Hotel Shamow. A year later, a female suicide bomber killed the former Interior Minister in his house. And now, there has been a blast at the National Theater. It is apparent that the TFG cannot sufficiently protect its officials. The security failure is an indication that every time the government takes two steps forward, it takes one step backward in insuring safety for its representatives. It is no secret that although the Shabab militants have withdrawn from Mogadishu, the group still maintains an active network of spies in the capital, and in the government circles. . Unfortunately, many Mogadishu residents, though pleased with the overall improvement of safety in the city, have come to the realization that attending public gatherings is a risky act that can mean their doom. Conspiracy Theories Abound The recent blast, some of the conspiracy theories profess, is the work of President Sheikh Sharif. Or the Interior Minister. Or the Mayor of Mogadishu. All three of these officials, you might notice, did not attend the gathering at the National Theater. Thus, they must be behind the blast to eliminate the PM. It is heartbreaking to hear these preposterous claims, not from laypersons, but from some educated individuals. The only group that has promiscuous use of suicide bombing in Somalia is the Shabab. The tactic was introduced to the country by the Shabab and it is still solely used by the group. The fact that the Shabab took full responsibility for the grisly attack at the theater makes of all these conspiracy theories ridiculous. Both the president and the mayor of Mogadishu, like most politicians, love public gatherings where they are naturally at the center stage, but none of them is ****** enough to orchestrate a criminal and violent act like the one perpetrated at the National Theater. Fortunately, the recent blast, though tragic, is nothing but a hiccup in the slow but steady progress Somalia has recently made. Perhaps, it will provide a lesson for many that the road to progress is strewn with setbacks. The process of reforming the country, indeed, is daunting but Mogadishu residents will remain undaunted in sustaining the current positive changes.

Abdul that's a wishful thinking Somaliland always wanted to talk to a government in Somalia the past 21 years but there wasn't really a government in Somalia the past 21 years this is the time and i think President sharif and his government can be a good partner in dialogue. But Mark words Somaliland independence is never ever in dispute its the aspirations of the people of Somaliland no one can change that:D

Somaliland: Turkish Medical Mission Saturday, 07 April 2012 22:19 Some members of the Turkish Team pose for a photograph at Hargeisa hospital in company of a local counterpart 6th standing and a patient seated right• While the country is medically advanced than all parts of Somalia, after surgery intensive care is begging-Dr Ahmet Ozan • Security in Hargeisa is better than in Ankara-Doctors say By: Yusuf M Hasan HARGEISA (Somalilandsun) – A team of Turkish Doctors is in the country to conduct a medical needs assessment. The nine member Turkish medical mission that arrived three days ago will be in the country for ten days, thence submits their assessment report to TIKA and government officials back home. This was revealed by Dr. Ahmet Utku Ozan who is leading the Turkish team composed of 8 health professionals and one administrator during an interview with Somalilandsun at the Hargeisa Group Hospital where they are based. The Turkish team has already embarked on treating in & out patients at the Hargeisa Group hospital where the Turks 2 dentists, 2 orthopedic surgeons, 2 general surgeons, 1 anesthesia 1 and anesthetic technician have their hands full attending to a multitude of ailments. The team said that they will continue attending patients until the last minute prior to departure. According to Dr. Ahmet, the Turks have also donated a number of orthopedic chairs to in-patients after performing orthopedic surgery on them, Said he, "some of the orthopedic patients have been hospitalized for a long time without a locally available recourse for their ailments" The Turkish team which is the country following a letter of request from the ministry of health, will brought with it 650 kilograms of assorted medical supplies that they are utilizing of whose balance plus three dental chairs will be donated to the hospital when their mission is complete. According to the Turks team leader, their observation so far indicate that though the medical sector is more advanced than in the whole of Somalia, a lot needs to be done for after surgery patient's intensive care is non-existent. The team says that other areas that need urgent attention and support include the dental unit which is currently devoid of not only qualified Dentists and dental surgeons but basic dentistry facilities while the number of patients is high. "While medical and administration personnel at the hospital are doing a superb job further training is imperative thus better standards of service provision" The Turks, who praised Somalilanders for the warm welcome accorded them, are all volunteers from different institutions in Turkey. Though TIKA has paid for their return tickets, team members are responsible for all other personal expenses incurred while in Somaliland. According to Dr. Ahmet the Turks who are all Muslims do not considers themselves as official workers but as humanitarians on a Waqaf (Charity) mission which they termed an Islamic obligation that they have decided to render to fellow suffering Muslims especially in Somalia and Somaliland thus their willingness to pay personal expenses from their own savings. Though this is the first visit to the country, the team that has conducted similar assessments in various parts of Somalia, is determined to return with more support to a country that they say is more secure than Ankara the capital city of Turkey which Dr Ahmet equated to the notorious city of New York where he spend 11 years. The team is also interested in the Turkish monuments in Berbera which they plan to visit during their next visit. In conclusion Dr. Ahmet Utku Ozan urged Somalilanders to maintain prevalent peace and security that has made it possible for the Turks and other foreigners to move freely without the need of armed body guards as happens in Somalia.

Well Siad bare was in very big trouble begin 1990 hence why he was writing letters to Mengistu, Somalia where do you stand in all of this since you are a big Kulmis supporter and opposed to the former govt. Mr mengistu was in trouble him self he lost the big port city of Massawa when the EPLF captured Massawa in 1990 there is little he could do at that time. -
