Fiqikhayre Posted May 18, 2010 ^This guy should definitely abstain from taking part of that contest. For some weird reasons he always likes to indulge himselfs with Xamaris politics. One is sure he understands their inner workings and can work with them but will they trust him is the question? Will Puntland say yes to Xassan Abshir Farax or will they block him for the seat of Prime Minister going his way? One importand side note: Today Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharma'arke came out and met with his ministers and government. This is now a legal issue and matter things have to be weight up properly. The UN under the mischief Walad Abdalla and the US said Sharif took a bold action, they didn't say much more. They are sending confused messages in disguise in the belief that they are in support of his latest action. At the same time RW Omar Abdirashid can make bold statements from his abode in Xamar and say that his sacking was unconstitutional whilst the majority of his former cabinet ministers came out in support for him. This is a game and both the PM and Sharif have support from the UN and US and this could be instigated and pulled off to get rid of the incompetent Sharif and his entourage and prepare the way for new elections. One things is for sure the US and UN want a smaller government and less ministers heading a couple of portfolio departments. This is in their interest foremost so this is an great opportunity. The other thing is that PM Omar and the others could possibly not go along with one another because of their differences in education, class and understanding of government. PM Omar comes from an illustrious family and background, his father being both Prime Minister and President of Somalia. His father being the first official head of state that was permitted to fly and make use of the new Airforce One build for President John F. Kennedy. He also comes from the peaceful, autonomous and self-governing and only government existing in Somalia namely the Puntland State of Somalia which has a history of being the sole somali sultanate and kingdom that had a semblance of modern day government structures throughout centuries the rest of Somalia did not experience that prior to indepedence. Furthermore his immediate family comes from a long tradition of kings and leaders. He worked for the UN and studied and was educated at Ottawa University. He lived in North-America for a long time. On the contrary Sharif Ahmed had not such a fortunate history. He and his family were an ordinary family living in the upper shabelle predominated by farmers and marginalised groups which his maternal part is said to be from this group not that his father was of much better stature. He rouse to prominence after being elected to a executive shuraa or coucil of religious men in 2006 who were fighting in the lawless capital of Mogadishu against the warlords. The people being fed-up with the warlords a spontaneous popular uprising catupulated him to a leader without much of a backbone but because he was a good orator and could speak fairly good and convince the larger public in Mogadishu and surroundings he was elected head of the executive shuraa but soon it became evident that his power base was not that strong and he had to relinquish. On the other hand his right hand Sharif Hassan Sharif Aden a notorious khat dealer who can barely write and read was made finance minister and is now the eyes and ears of Sharif Ahmed. There are many incompetent, ignoble and anarchistic minded people in Sharif Ahmed's entourage that would put the literal dictionary example of a banana republic into a shame. No wonder then that PM Omar was advised to keep his mouth shut and do what he believes is the best for the country and led the ignorants play their ball. PM Omar is like the footballer player Messi put in a amateurs team to play against the giants of Real Madrid. One educated and talented man cannot uplift a whole team of losers, uneducated baffoons who are on top of that functionally illiterate and hail from difficult upbringings and backgrounds.
