Mohammed Dhere has lately embarked on a political mission to patch up things with his rivals in Mogadishu and beyond. In the past few days, we all heard about the new peace treaty between the governors of the two fertile Shabelle regions. As the sources from the Jowhar grapevines want us to believe, the pact was initiated by none other than the madcap himself, the indisputable landlord of Yusuf and Ghedi, His Excellency Mohammed Dhere.

 

There are also accounts from reliable sources that he had been making calls to Mogadishu powerbrokers and had some constructive consultations with Muse Sudi. Is this late maneuvering of Mr. Dhere, a political maturity? Or could it all be construed as the customary shifting alliances of the chameleon warlords of Somalia? It seems that the governor has reservations about Yusuf’s courting of Hiiraale. There is something anomalous about this much-hyped Kismayo talks between the warlords? The usual spin-doctors of Fadhi-ku-dirir venues are putting together new-fangled hypothesis about Yusuf’s longing to base his seat in Kismayo. It is rumored that Yusuf’s close interlocutors had in the past campaigned for the patronage of Hiiraale. So it goes that if Yusuf wants to make up with his ilk why should Mohammed Dhere alienate his kinfolk? What kind of covert ruse has come to the fore that forced Mohamed Dhere to look for alliance elsewhere? What compelled him to craft this political realignment and tactical repositioning?

 

As soon as we heard about this new truce between the Shabelle governors, both the president his protégé premier and large numbers of his cohorts were off to Yusuf’s homelands of Boosaaso and Garoowe. And lo and behold, Mohammed Dhere didn’t rest and let them off the hook. He come up with the litmus test, fired the one million dollar question after them. He challenged both Yusuf and Ghedi to define the difference between Indhocade, the lower Shabelle boss and Hiiraale, the Juba Valley ruler since in Mr.Dhere’s logic; both men are from the same central region of Galgaduud. He wondered why one is considered as a man of peace and the other is seen as a defiant pariah?

 

Mohammed Dhere made these exigent remarks in retaliation of the recent comments of Abdalle Deeroow, the constitution minister -- another one of those lame portfolios of Ghedi’s inflated cabinet -- who ironically doesn’t hail the regions in the covenant. But thanks to Somalia’s clannish raison d’être; the conventional wisdom dictates Deeroow to question and protest of this peace accord.

 

So it is said and written somewhere in the Somalia’s half-baked constitution that Mr. Deeroow is at liberty to represent the “natives†of Lower Shabelle. Here the inhabitants of Shabelle are hypothetically from the minister’s clan grouping. Forget the fact that Deeroow is from Bay and is a persona-non-grata in his own constituency. See the irony of Somalia’s nonsensical clan adherence!

 

But that was not the only reason the chief of Jowhar made his provocative discourse. The cynics are wondering was this ultimatum of Mohamed Dhere a masked eviction of the TFG or one of his spur-of-the moment invectives. Some people have been arguing for quite sometime that because of their stubborn nature and strong personality, both the Jowhar governor and the warlord-turned president would sooner or later be at odds. Now that the writings are on the wall, their falling out of each other is about to happen. The short honeymoon between Yusuf and Dhere is about to come to an end. As they say “marry in haste, repent at leisure†Yusuf is now in search of a new temporary capita. What a better place to set sights other than the port city of Kismayo. Bye Bye Dheere ... Hello Hiiraale!

 

The stubbornness of the Somali warlords, their shifting alliances and their political opportunism may seem so inexplicable to most outsiders but not to the suffering populace of Somalia.

I posted this article under the "Maxamed Dheere speaks" thread as it pertains to that debate. On the interesting "tribal bond" question you posed regarding Md. Barre Hiiraale and Md. Cabdullahi Yusuf, I suppose its anyone's guess as to their real intentions.

 

However, let me flip the same question to you: when the "leaders" of Xamar convene, is that a "tribal" conference? Md. al-Xaaji Yalaxow, Md. Caato, Md. Cabdiqasim, Md. Qanyare are all members of the same tribe, are they not? How come their convention isn't scrutinized while a Barre-Cabdullahi "bond" raises questions? :confused:

[Gabbal]

I found it rather interesting that when Hiiraale gave full support to Cabdiqasim Salad Hassan and the former Arta goverment, that TNG was called haraadahi Siyaad and a secret vehicle of partisan poliitcs. Now that Hiiraale has given support to Abdulahi Yusuf (his arch-nemesis no less) and this Ebagathi/Eldoret government, this goverment is called a tribal bonding.

 

Soomaaliyay is eego; I do believe history will judge otherwise.

[Yoonis_Cadue]

That's what I call paranoia OLOL. Who are you that scared off to be that hysterical.

 

The government is going to engage itself into reconcilation and nothing short than that.

 

We will appeal to the heart and mind of everyone to not led slip this last chance from our hands.

 

If this doesn't work out than Iam sorry we're off and we will leave you alone in your savage existence until ofcourse you acknowledge your faults and come to your senses.

 

Somalia will inshallah be peaceful and everything will return to normal unless ofcourse you peaople don't get their act together for once in their bare existence and sorrow state of its last 15 years.

I agree with Horn on this, what makes Mohamed Dhere and Geedi (two cousins) relationship any difefrent? Hiiraale and Yusuf have not been in the same side nor have Morgan and Inda cade. This is Somalia after all..

 

The Kismayu conference is an important one and Hiiraale must be supported on this. Nothing to dow ith clan bonds but common sense.

C/laahi yusuf needs friends from moqdisho and he invested heavily in jowhar politicaly, economialy and military. In other hand he must go beyond Jowhar. He did not come Jowhar to collect money from donors countries to take his share and give the rest for Mohammed Dhere. Mohamed Dhere a typical moqdisho warlord "intee heli, intuu heley" with kismaanyo in the picture, he calculated. The question is, will abdilaahi yusuf be able to contain him?
