Very well indeed, silenced the critics and those in the celebrating mood...

 

Madaxweynaha DFKM C/llahi Yusuf ayaa waraysi gaar ah oo siiyey Idaacada VOA isagoo sheegay in xaaladdiisa caafimaad aysan ahayn sida ay saxaafada u falanqaysay.

 

 

Maalmihii danbe ayaa waxaa soo baxayey in Madaxweyne Yuusuf uu caafimaadkiisu uu ahaa mid aan fiicnayn.

Northerner, your bombadment of the president's ill-health were quite deafening to say the least, you may listen to this interveiw few times, just observe the laughter of the Somali leader at those suggested that he was in comma, dieing on a bed...

Somalia President's Health Fuels Speculation Over Successor

By Alisha Ryu

Nairobi

05 December 2007

 

Somalia's interim President Abdullahi Yusuf spent a second day in a hospital in the Kenyan capital Nairobi amid growing reports that the 72-uear-old leader is gravely ill. With no clear successor, VOA Correspondent Alisha Ryu in Nairobi reports there is mounting concern of increasing turmoil in Somalia.

President Yusuf was at Nairobi Hospital for a second day Wednesday under heavy security and a cloak of secrecy about why he needed to be hospitalized.

 

Since he was admitted, Mr. Yusuf's aides and other officials in the transitional federal government have said that the president, who received a new liver 11 years ago, came to Nairobi for a routine check-up before traveling to London for a more thorough examination.

 

But Kenyan sources tell VOA that the president is suffering from a serious stomach ailment and is being fed intravenously. Other reports say the Somali leader has bronchitis and needs an oxygen mask to breathe.

 

Mr. Yusuf , who was appointed to the post in 2004 with the backing of neighboring Ethiopia, has been in poor health for years. He was flown to Nairobi a day before he was to hold crucial talks with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa about Somalia's myriad problems, including an Islamist-led insurgency that has largely kept his secular government from functioning since it took power nearly a year ago.

 

President Yusuf's absence from those talks has fueled speculation that his condition may be much more serious than what Somali officials are acknowledging.

 

If Mr. Yusuf dies in office, Parliament Speaker Sheik Adan Mohamed Nur would be required to take the helm briefly while parliament chooses a new president. But following the recent ouster of Ali Mohamed Gedi as prime minister, Mr. Yusuf has been tightening his grip on power in Somalia and leaving little room for a possible successor.

 

A political analyst at South Africa's Institute for Security Studies, Richard Cornwell, says he believes Mr. Yusuf's death could also spell doom for Somalia's internationally recognized-but-weak transitional federal government, or TFG.

 

"There is likely going to be a real struggle for power, should Abdullahi Yusuf pass from the scene. We are probably going to need to go back and look at the entire transitional arrangement," said Cornwell. "It has proved to be horribly flawed in that the TFG does not have that much legitimacy on the ground and obviously, the status quo is not viable. What this shows is that it is very unwise to depend on a 72-year-old, who has had a liver transplant, to carry the whole political system."

 

Meanwhile, government officials in the crisis-hit Lower Shabelle region have apparently rescinded an order by President Yusuf to restrict access to the region's roads, airport, and seaport.

 

On Tuesday, international aid agencies expressed deep concern about the fate of tens of thousands of people in the region, who could not receive food aid because ships were denied permission to off-load their cargo and road convoys were being stopped.

 

A spokesman for the United Nations' World Food Program in Nairobi, Marcus Prior, tells VOA that regional government officials began allowing food deliveries to resume Wednesday without explanation.

It was good and informative interview the Somali leader talked about a range of issues i.e. the newly appointed PM, allegations of the blocked Aid of lower Shabelle, the regional meeting in Adis Ababa and overall the security of the country...

I still remember Caydiid when interviewed by the BBC .......

It was the same case with Cigaal, giving interview a day before his demise. That however is not a determining factor in ones time of dead.

lol...saaxiib I didn't mean to be harsh on odayga adeer ah, just the truth and I know it sometimes hurts.

 

The last thing I will do is to brag about someones health or death, ruux walba maalintiisa ayuu leeyahay laakiin runta in laga hadlaa waa iska fiican tahay. Odaygaan waa da’ waana tabcaan marka in la qarqariyaa caafimaad u noqon mayso.

 

 

Waxaan kaloo la yaabay kama xishootid miyaa inaad Allpuntland soo xigatid? Goormay qireen inuu jirraday sowtii 4tii bishaan ay ku celcelinayeen wuxuu safar iyo shirar ugu socdaa Lisbon iyo London.

^Time for you to spin miyaa? :D , you was posting and taunting us with the 'Sakaraatul Mawt' story here on SOL, waa Markay kula kharaaraatay, Indeed it's time for you to spin... I, on the other hand never said that he was fully in health, I agreed that he had been admitted to a hospital and even posted his special doctor's report, although always maintained he was in good health condition.

 

Abwaanow midbaan kuu sheegayaa aadan ka doodi karin, Nolosha iyo geerida ilaahbaa haya, dadka uwada siman, Cafimaad iyo caafimaad la'aan Odaynimo iyo Odaynimo la'aan... Dooda ma ahan waa jiranyahay waa oday, haye so what?????? Maxaa dhacaaya markaas bal noo sheeg, malaha waxbaad ogtahay aanaan ogaynee...

 

Intaa kabadan in qof bini'aadam ah Caafimaadkiisa aan kasii doodno ama sida uu noqon karo sax uma arko, caqliga wanaagsanna ma ogolla taas... waa intaas intaa leeyahay dooda noocaa oo kale ah ama eray kudarsashada dinacaas waa laga fiicanyahay... Intaas ayaan kaga haray waana kabaxay Mawduucaan.

You see people are confusing few issues together.

 

You see Norf if you dont agree with the presidents political views.....you dont have to pray and wish for his death...you just have to defeat him politically.

 

The presidents health can deteriorate because he is a humam just like the rest of us...you see Fidel Castro has a dwonturn in his health but he is still ruling Cuba......

 

Hate doesnt get you far peaople...it will only consume and destroy you.

That’s why I am waiting for the old man to get out of ring side. Round 7.

 

It is actions we question not persons, so I will not comment on his health.
