Somalia parliament not independent: ex-Speaker Sharif

 

ROME, Italy Jan 17 (Garowe Online) - Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan, who was removed from the post of interim parliament Speaker by a Wednesday vote, has said that Somalia’s parliament is “not independent” and is under Ethiopian control.

 

The ex-Speaker responded to Wednesday's vote by saying that “anyone who talks freely about Ethiopian troops in the country [somalia] must be removed.”

 

Sharif Hassan said the interim Somali parliament elected him in 2004 to the post of Speaker while it was an independent institution and can only remove him from the post as an independent institution.

 

He said the Somali parliament cannot function and fulfill its duties while the country is under Ethiopian military occupation, adding that the government can function when the Ethiopians withdraw and African peacekeepers are deployed.

 

Sharif Hassan said he is part of the government and is not operating against it.

 

The former Speaker also criticized President Abdullahi Yusuf, whom he accused of dictatorial tendencies: “2007 and dictatorship don’t go together.”

 

“I will not accept to work under Ethiopian troops and become a hostage,” ex-Speaker Sharif said, who continued to maintain that he is still the legitimate Speaker of the interim Somali parliament.

 

Somali legislators voted 183-to-9 in favor of removing Sharif Hassan from the post of Speaker after a long list of charges, including alleged support for the ousted Islamic Courts movement.

 

Sharif Hassan had made previous overtures to engage in direct talks with the Islamists while they still controlled Mogadishu, but government leaders had distanced themselves from Sharif's efforts at dialogue.

Inshallah. Faroole is still taking his nacnac to new heights. He needs to be censored or closed down.

[Fiqikhayre]

Garooweonline, brothers I know, they are fianced by bitter old Faroole who lost his position as minister know he found his new position in spreading mischief through garooweonline, which is run by his sons in Australia!

 

But that guy is a nobody today in Garoowe! He made millions of Puntland tax payers money and now he uses it for his self-glorification through the media!

 

The likes of them are many just look at Somalitalk and Laasqorey.net etc.

 

If you want real opinions from Nugaal or Garoowe for that matter you can access Waayaha.com or the best of all of them Puntlandpost.com, they're really good and godfearing people like all the people from Nugaal are!

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

There is no parliament but I am its speaker, some how does not make sense to me. caqli xumo! This said that he would impeach the president and prime minister, yet more then one hundred eighty members of parliament voted to dismiss him. Did he think the eight sycophants who folow him around are the somali parliament? and who is a hostage, the one who can not go to his house or the one in it?

What they publish is garbage and from a disgruntled perspective. They have little to no objectivity. If Faroole were given his post back tommorow they would do a 360 spin. Which is the sad part.

^^^ It doesn’t matter if they changed sides due to who is beneficial to them. They could become fence-settlers if they wish. However, they still have the right to publish whatever they deem creditable, and you have the right to not read their news articles.

[Faarax-Brawn]

According to intl law, I hear that there can be no martial law & parliament at the same time.

 

But,also according to the UN charter no nation can invade another nation...This is a charade. Puppet installed parliament wants a puppet speaker.
