Its time for the sharif to bow out in the interest of Somalia

[rudy-Diiriye]

Sharif is a total failure and needs to move out for the sake of Somalia. His kind of leadership is bring the worst disasters that Somalia has ever experienced. Time for new inclusive and haroomar change that deals with this problem.

The world watches in indifference as Somalia descends yet again into a bottomless pit that is tantamount, from the perspective of an ordinary Somali citizen in Mogadishu today, to the upcoming apocalyptic movie 2012 that predicts the end of the world.

 

 

 

For a mother who lost her husband in the anarchy that has engulfed Somalia for the last 18 years, and has a bunch of kids to care for on her own, every flare up of conflict in Mogadishu makes her wonder what she and her small children have done to deserve such misery. The scene of small children lying lifeless in the streets of Mogadishu is not acceptable under any religion in this world let alone the Muslim faith.

 

 

 

A disputed election in Iran makes President Obama come out strongly against the loss of a few lives at the hands of the revolutionary guards, while he remains mum about the death and injury of hundreds of Somalis in Mogadishu on a daily basis. It is as if Somalia is an alien nation whose people live in another galaxy that is way out of this small world we live in.

 

 

 

Ethiopia seems to be poised to re-occupy Somalia and demands an International blessing for her new misadventure. The Sharif and his allies who belittled the old Man Yusuf for using Ethiopian troops to pacify the country seem to be praying for the same Ethiopian troops to save them from their old brothers in arms.

 

 

 

The redeployment of Ethiopian troops and the possible deployment of Kenyan troops into Somalia with an International blessing seem to be heralding the implementation of a plan suggested by a Kenyan writer a few months ago when he advocated carving up Somalia between the two neighboring countries, a scenario that is not farfetched in my humble opinion.

 

 

 

The presence of AU troops from two landlocked counties, Uganda and Burundi, the constant interference of landlocked Ethiopia into Somali affairs, and the recent agreement between the Sharif government and Kenya to remap the territorial waters of Somalia to the benefit of Kenya, all seem to be focusing on the vast coastline of Somalia which they see as a failed state that does not deserve to control such a vast area of the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean.

 

 

 

The project of Ould Abdulalh seems to have failed miserably and the Sharif government that many hoped would bring peace and stability is on the brink of collapse thus paving the way for a fundamentalist state that may not be a bad thing in the eyes of many Somalis who prefer such as a regime to a country that is overrun by hordes of Ethiopian, Kenyan, Burundian and Ugandan opportunists who have their eyes on their beautiful and vast coastline.

 

 

 

To save the country from foreign interference, the Sharif should bow out gracefully like Yusuf before him and call for a wide Somali reconciliation conference inside Somalia this time, and not in neighboring counties that do not have the best interest of Somalia at heart.

 

 

 

The Somali problem is very complicated and should be left to its own people to resolve. The International community can help by facilitating a broad reconciliation conference that is funded, managed and organized by the Organization of the Islamic Conference. The Islamists will hopefully trust such an organization and heed the call for a reconciliation conference that is free from the interference and influence of regional countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya, two countries that have contributed a lot to the current situation in Somalia.

 

 

 

The Islamic world should not watch in indifference as Somalis slaughter each other. Since the Arab League does not care about Somalia, and its Arab members do not consider Somalis Arab enough, the Islamic world such as Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia need to take an active role in helping their brothers in Islam thus fulfilling the famous words of the Prophet: Give your Muslim brother a hand whether he is oppressed or oppresses others.

You are extremely naïve if you think the problem is Shariff… Man have you not learned from previous follies of identifying yey as being the problem… Do you really think if Sharif steps down the fanatics will become reasonable? Please I beg of you see the problem for what it is, Somalia will never prosper under fanatical, merchants of death, called shabab.

 

Lets not keep on repeating the same mistakes… Somalia has suffered enough under warlords, we cant now afford Talibanisation ( which will make the era warlords seem like paradise). Furthermore why cant you understand that the international community and our neighbours will never allow ( and rightly so), a shabab lead Somalia… So if you actually care for Somalia as you proclaim please don’t condemn us with this lot, and invite western intervention… You don’t like Shariff wait until his term ends and vote for whoever you like…

What "interest of Soomaaliya" that is left?

 

The so-called kuwa la baxay Dhalinta has the interest of the nation, aha?

 

Ismiidaamin, isqarxis, subjugation, argagax acts, scaremongering -- all in the name of Soomaaliya's interests? Heck, they don't even use the Soomaali flag, its anthem and every symbol that stands for Soomaaliya and its cause -- it is secularly abhor-some for them.

 

What nation are they fighting for then, if they can't the least use its flag, the Soomaali flag, the paramount symbol of our nation?

[rudy-Diiriye]

lol! well waan usheega..fiiri, somali interest is dadnimo, wadannimo, walaalnimo and isutag to prosper their country. Thats as easy as abc. If u dont know that, then why bother coming here and giving us gas. Tell me what this loser sharif has done so far but cause more pain for somalis. Plz spare us the drama. lol.

 

If u look at Somali history, everytime somalido got broken up int pieces, what brought them to together was their religion unity.

 

Go back and look at our history from the Sayid to Ahmed Gurey, this was the case. Now were facing the same problem,i.e, somali disunity.. but the solution is working up its way. Thnx Allah.

Rudy please wake up and use your head.

 

The problem is al-shabaab fanatics who want to turn somalia into and AQ playground.

 

Tell me why they want to fight peaceful sufis and chop off hands and legs when 3.5 million face starvation without clean water or shelter.

 

Use your head and think ant somalia.
