General Duke Posted September 18, 2009 NOW SOMALI GOVERNMENT ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE Kanini Evans KariukiSeptember 18, 2009IN my previous articles, I have highlighted the serious situation of Somalia globally, regionally and locally. Sadly, Somalia became a threat to the security of all nations for being the epicenter of sea piracy, terrorism and the dumping of toxic waste. Much to the chagrin and disappointment of the world, the International community seems to have failed to lead by example, in the sense that it is not taking an effective role of addressing these crucial factors which endanger the international trade, peace and stability both in the region, and the rest of the world. Intelligence reports emanating from Western nations indicate that Somali youngsters who are carrying the citizenship of their countries are being trained in Somalia by the Al-Shabaab group, considered by the west to be linked to the Al-Qaeda. In addition, the sea piracy is a major impediment to the flow of trade between East and West. The UN, the EU and USA made a blunder by making it possible for President Shariff to ascend to power and needless to say, his visionless rule has only served in exacerbating the crisis in the troubled Horn of Africa nation. I stated earlier that President Shariff and his government lack the expertise and know-how of administering and salvaging a failed state like Somalia. It has emerged that after eight months in power, the Somali government now controls a mere 1 square kilometer of the national capital of Mogadishu, even with reinforcement from the African Union forces represented by Uganda and Burundi. Last month´s meeting between the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Sharif in Nairobi, was a mere diplomatic gesture of political support to the Somali Head of State. It is apparent that the Americans are awaiting the Sheikh Shariff´s regime and it´s previous associates-Al-Shabaa b and Hisbul-Islam, who are now fighting the besieged government over power, to finish each other! In the same token, the Muslim and Arab nations are also reluctant to give a helping hand to the shattering nation of Somalia, and neither are they providing sanctuary to the Somali refugees fleeing from the chaos in their motherland to these Muslim and Arab states. The Southern part of Somalia where most of the Somali plight is taking centre stage, is the Italian colony, whereby, the Italians are also not having the compassion or moral responsibility to grant political asylum to the Somalis crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Libya. The Italians are not observing the Geneva Refugee Convention of 1951 of which they are signatory to, and neither do they realize that Somalia inherited the maladministration from them. Somalia was supposed to ask the Italians for compensation for what they did in the Horn of Africa nation from 1935 to 1960, as well as over the serious issue of dumping of toxic waste, in which some Italian companies are masters in the trade. .

General Duke Posted September 18, 2009 CONFLICT IN THE SOMALI CABINET The delegation headed by the President was accompanied by Hon Abdulrahman Haji Adan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister officials, His Excellency Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Minister of Technology and Science and other ministers. They visited the D´jibouti on September 8, 2009. During this visit, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister officials signed an agreement with the Djibouti government, pertaining to the establishment of a Center for fighting the sea pirates. But fortunately or unfortunately, the Prime Minister had decreed Punt land to be that particular Center. The act of the Minister officials was completely against the sovereignty and national interests of the Somali nation, and can be considered as high treason. The transfer of state resources and logistics to other individuals or states without using the legal mechanisms that protect the sovereignty of the state, is regarded as betrayal of the states trust. The D´jibouti agreement had already flared a serious conflict between the cabinet and Members of parliament. The Prime Minister was contacted by Members of parliament over this issue to which he replied that he neither has the knowledge of that agreement, and nor did he ever authorize it. Based on the response of the Prime Minister, the MPs had issued a strong statement through the mass media dismissing the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister officials, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. The legislators will take up in Parliament the set up of fighting the sea piracy Center in the Djibouti. The Prime Ministers fate is hanging in the balance and the only way he can save himself is by sacking the two ministers: unless otherwise, his opponents will gang up to depose him through a vote of no confidence in Parliament. Somalia is on a stake for Somali land is in bad shape, and Punt land is having a serious conflict with the Transitional Federal Government after signing the Djibouti agreement on the issue of sea piracy. And besides, Southern Somalia is devastated by the civil war between the TFG and the extremists. Somalia is in a gloomy situation whereby, it is most likely that the Al-Shabaab group and Hisbul-Islam, could gain support throughout Somalia. There must be a fair solution to Somalia and Somalis, lest the crisis in the chaotic country spills over other continents in the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sherban Shabeel Posted September 18, 2009 Just like Obama, Shariif has to deal with the horrendous mess left behind by his predecessor, the "great hero" Yeey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liibaan Posted September 18, 2009 According to C/Yusuf the horrendous MESS was ICU/Shabaab led by co-shiekhs of Sharif & Aweys so it seems one side of the MESS and Sharif is now leading the TFG, while the other side still doesn't recognize the TFG And now according to Sharif the MESS is Aweys and Shabaab, this mess never ends The 2 sheikhs need to get along and stop fighting, thousands of somali were either killed, injured or forced to leave thier homes for the last few months including the holy month of Ramadan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peacenow Posted September 18, 2009 This is a emerging threat for the present and the future and I saw it coming. Thousands of hordes of failed Somali men with passports of civilized countries with this romantic notion of the 'international islamic brotherhood' of brown and black in them. That exists in their imagination. They are perfect terrorist fodder. They will be the sole world's terrorists for decades to come. Forget the Pakis, this group is the one to watch.

General Duke Posted September 18, 2009 Sharif Hotels hypocracy aside he is a simple man who has prolonged the war in southern Somalia. His support had promised us change but have delivered a monster who has even attempted to sell the sea to Kenya and is only interested in money stealing schemes. There us another not single regional districts under his control. From Hargaysa to Kismayu he runs only a few blocks in thr vicinity of Villa Somalia. His supporters are now saying that he had a difficult task, yet my response it who forced him to take this job? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sherban Shabeel Posted September 19, 2009 ^His only weakness is he's too benevolent. To tame Somalia, he should round up people that call him "moron" and have them shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
