Abwaan Posted December 6, 2007 Somali president meets with possible successor in hospital room The Associated PressPublished: December 6, 2007 E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size NAIROBI, Kenya: Somalia's president had a "robust chat" in his hospital room Thursday with the man who would succeed him if he could no longer lead his violence-wracked nation. President Abdullahi Yusuf met with the speaker of parliament at Nairobi Hospital, where the 73-year-old president was recovering well from a severe cold, said Ali Mohamed Sheik, a protocol officer for the Somali Embassy in Kenya. While Somali officials have said Yusuf was suffering from a cold, another official had said Wednesday he had bronchitis. The contradictory reports since he flew to Kenya to be hospitalized Tuesday have raised concerns back home for a government that is already weak and battling a deadly Islamic insurgency. Thousands of civilians have died in the conflict this year. "Today the president was lively and better than the day he arrived," Sheik told The Associated Press. "He was broadly smiling and engaged in a robust chat with the speaker of parliament, Sheik Adan Mohamed Nor." He would not say what the men discussed.

Yusuf has had chronic health problems for years and received a new liver in 1996. Yusuf's homeland faces what the United Nations says is the biggest humanitarian crisis in Africa. The president was meant to meet Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Ethiopia to discuss the crisis, but he sent Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein instead. Yusuf's "sickness is such bad news for us," said Shamsa Haji Nor, a 42-year-old resident of the Somali capital, Mogadishu. "This will create even more political confusion in Somalia." Somalia has not had a functioning government since warlords overthrew a dictator in 1991, then turned on one another. Yusuf's government was formed in 2004 with the support of the U.N., but has struggled to assert any real control. Earlier this week, five Somali Cabinet ministers resigned soon after they were appointed, saying their clan was not adequately represented in the prime minister's new government. Hussein, the former head of the Somali Red Crescent Society, took office last month pledging to work for reconciliation, but is not believed to have influence over clans, and therefore the political influence, of the president. ___ AP writer Salad Duhul contributed to this report from Mogadishu, Somalia Emperor...Horta anigu adiga iyo kuwa la midka ah garaaddo kama rabo mana u malaynaayo inaan aragtidayda ku bedelayo haddaa runta rabtiod anigu waan jeclahay inuu Soomaali ka hor wareego C/llaahi iyo kuwa la midka ah balse ma dhahayo waa dhintay haddii uu maanta dhintana wakhtigiisa ayuun baa dhammaaday, naf kastana way dhimanaysaa. Kumanaan Soomaali ah ayaa dhibaato sannado badan haysatay hal oday oo siddeetan jir ah oo aanan khayr ku ogeyn baad la CALAACALAYSAA. Haddiii ay daacad kaa tahay maxaad ugu cataabi weydey Soomaalida uu madfaca Itoobiyaanka u adeegsaday si uu xukun ugu raago? Ninyahow aan kuugu celiyee qaranka ayaa ka muhiimsan Qof iyo Qabiil.

Hunguri Posted December 6, 2007 Emperor, I am sure some of the folks nearly fell with heart attack His excellence President Abdillahi Yuusuf Halyeey iga dheh Emperor, Abdillahi Yusuf through out his career never spoke about Somali land except one day, which he had a word with Rayaale on BBC and pointed that Rayaale was an spy and does not even deserve to be debated with. Nevertheless, I wonder why these death wish drums from the secessionist are more louder. Waar odaygu cidna ma dilee guryihiina nabad ku jooga Long life Mr President!

Emperor Posted December 6, 2007 ^Very well said Hunguri, the Old man had never threatened, nor shot a single bullet or consipred against the secessionists, contrary to that, a historical fact: the SNM was created amidst the SSDF with the support and fund of the strategist, Yusuf Yey. It's beyond me as to what bothers them the most... Ala style of Cayrtaada cunnaa caydaada yaqaan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted December 6, 2007 SNM was created amidst the SSDF Qosol Dartii walaahi kursigaan ka dhici gaadhay You better admit that the SNM successfully did what the SSDF failed ........

Emperor Posted December 6, 2007 ^The head of the SSDF is today's Somalia leader while the former NSS commaders enjoy the cake in Hargeisa, where are the SNM Mujahideen and those great saviours, Kaneeco kudhamaysay qaadka korkiisa And Yes, it is a historical fact: SNM was created by Yusuf Yey, a great strategist an alliance maker, excellent tactician, for good or worse he was the brain behind most of the Somali SS's from the SNM to the SSRC, SNA Ali Mahdi's wing and Shaatigaduud's wing in Biodoa... SS-ti waa dhamaatay hadda the old man is firm to make sure the republic is back to its feet, so far a lot has been achieved, the rest is going according to the plan... Marka adigu just dwell on the former spy, your Riyaale's acting too big in Hargeisa but infront of men is a fart, a mere former spy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
