Abwaan ha uu bixiin Duke please - he is trying to mire the whole situation. The new development in Somali politics has moved on from Duke and co. who live in tribal affiliation and identity. The new team of Sharif and Cumar are young and not attached to the individuals and incidents that have littered our country with tribal, clan , occupation and senseless wars over the last eighteen years. They are hope and a beacon for a new direction. Let Duke utter his wrath through rubbish just read and ignore.

Ex-Somali president's son set to become PM Friday, February 13, 2009 DJIBOUTI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Somalia's president has chosen Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, the U.S.-based son of a slain former leader, to be prime minister in a unity government intended to end civil war, government sources said. President Sheikh Sharif Ahmed's nomination was to be formally announced later on Friday in Djibouti, where Somali politicians are meeting, several senior government aides said. Ratification by parliament is expected to be a formality given new president Ahmed's wide backing in the legislature. Sharmarke, who has held various U.N. posts and was educated in the United States, is the son of Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke, an elected president who was assassinated in 1969 during a military coup. He is a member of the D**** ethnic group, whereas Ahmed is H***. Somalia's government is meant to share key positions among the major communities. By choosing Sharmarke, Ahmed will hope to win support from the Somali diaspora and also bolster international support for his fledgling government, which has been set up under a U.N.-brokered peace process in Djibouti. The major challenge for both president and prime minister will be to face the threat of armed Islamist insurgents in Somalia led by the Al Shabaab group, which is on Washington's list of terrorist organisations. Al Shabaab says Ahmed's government is an illegitimate "puppet" administration put together by foreign powers. Although Ahmed is a moderate Islamist who used to lead a sharia courts movement in Somalia, al Shabaab denounces him as anti-Islamic.

The new Prime Minister to be announced tomorrow would be Cumar Cabdirashid Cali , Insha Allah. It has just been confirmed to me that he has been accorded security and a new place of residence. Thus I can safely say that he will be the next new PM.

Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: ^^Now that is kind of scary. This may be a wild pick for the good Shariif. He could be doing a Eeny meeny miney mo on all the candidates he interviewed or Pick a Stick . Seriously , there has been lot of lobbying from his associates, International Community and even high credible Ministers from the host country. This has brought about a lot of change - it eliminates some candidates , brought in new ones and re-produced previous candidates. The good Sheikh is lost somewhere and I think that is why it has been postponed and why I came to the decission to expect anyone.

Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: Juje's information was the most accurate we have been getting here. Thanx governor.... Delayed untill tomorrow, with that I can add that there are no more final candidates, or any of the ones we have been speculating ovcer the last one week - Expect anything tomorrow - and I mean anything. Dont say you have not been warned.

Gacan aan ku tagey ya Nuune...I rest and await for your feed.

The last two men in the running are Cumar C/rashid and another individual whose only name revealed to me is Siciid. A former, or still might be, a member of Islaax. He also hails from Puntland . Either of them would be the next PM unless things make a dramatic change by tomorrow evening. Ciid iga dembeysa ha warsaniina - and remember you first heard on SOL,

Sorry folks I had to shift the attention here cause the other thread has been taken over by warring individuals claiming their clan is better than the other. Anyways nomads there is nothing more I can report other than the schedule and the timing of the announcement, because my pals, the butlers have been left in the dark and don't know what is happening now. You can only know who the choice is now if you are President Sharif or a very very close associate. Tomorrow noon Djibouti local time President Sharif will meeting the candidates he did not choose and kindly console them and seek their support in his choice and the peace achievement. About an hour two after that meeting he will make the much anticipated and awaited announcement with the new PM by his side. After this our next SOL projection will be the Ministers.

And am here , qebta ha laygu daro.

Very good and promising indeed.Morgan Tsvangirai has a big task ahead of him now, hope he can restore the country's previous admirable status

Ciro an unknown light weight politician from Puntland is the name on the Sharif’s lips. Anyhow next year you will let us know the new leader of Somalia will be donkey master Hiiraale’s son, or road block “Dr” Taano’s nephew. Build something instead of sounding jealous every day.
