Somalia, U.S. told to work together

"All the warlords were in Parliament or the Cabinet, so there was hope they'd all be rowing in the same direction," said

Ali Galaydh

, former prime minister of Somalia and faculty member at the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.

 

But that unity was fleeting. The president now operates out of the city of Jowhar, about 55 miles north of the nation's capital of Mogadishu, while

the majority of parliament is based in Mogadishu

.

 

And the president, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, has closer ties to Ethiopia than some Somalis are comfortable with, Galaydh said.

Without singling out the ethiopian factor out of the somali internal political issues, they, both aisles of the government, are bound to a vicious circling.
