Four Somalia Government Ministers Resign

In a severe blow to efforts to establish a functioning government in the Horn of Africa country of Somalia, four elected ministers, all based in the capital Mogadishu, have announced that they are quitting the government.

 

The minister for national security in Somalia's struggling transitional national government, Mohammed Qanyare Afrah, says he and three other ministers agreed several days ago to withdraw from government, currently located in the provincial town of Baidoa, 240 kilometers west of the capital.

 

Wednesday was the deadline for the ministers to formally join the parliamentary body, which has the backing of the United Nations, but remains largely powerless.

 

Qanyare tells VOA that he is quitting his cabinet post because the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Gedi and President Abdullahi Yusuf are not interested in restoring security in Mogadishu.

 

 

"They are not considering the job we are doing. Mogadishu has no security. We are working on security to fight terrorism. They are against us because they are siding with the terrorists," he said.

 

The other three disaffected ministers are the minister of religion, Omar Finish, the minister of the disarmament of militias, Botan Ise Alin, and the minister of trade, Muse Sudi Yalahow.

 

Yalahow accused transitional government leaders of being ineffective and lazy.

 

Yalahow says the government does not want to come to Mogadishu because it is happy doing nothing in Baidoa. He says the people of Mogadishu do not need a government that does nothing.

 

Yalahow, Qanyare, and their two colleagues are powerful factional leaders in the capital and senior-ranking members of the newly-formed, 11-member anti-terror group, the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism. The group's aim, they say, is to rid the country of Muslim extremists, who are attempting to turn Somalia into another Afghanistan.

 

But many Somalis say they believe the real reason why the four factional leaders are pulling out of the government is because they are angry over recent comments made by President Yusuf.

 

President Yusuf accused the United States of funding the anti-terror alliance, adding that Washington should be working with interim government leaders to bring stability to Somalia, not giving money to warlords to chase down terrorists.

 

The alliance flatly denies it is receiving U.S. help. The United States has long viewed Somalia as a potential haven for Islamic militants. But U.S. officials say the United States is not giving direct assistance to the anti-terror group.

 

Somalia's interim government was formed in neighboring Kenya in late 2004, but internal splits have always threatened to scuttle the 14th attempt to restore central rule to the country in 15 years.

Qaynyare is funny, he accuses the government is siding with the Courts and Terrorists..

 

Suudi, Yalaxow belives a minister must have a house, a car and an office.

 

It seems they are working in tandem with Geedi, who did not want to sack them. Anyhow no one can hide the fact, that these men are an obsticle to the TFG, but more so to the people of Mogadishu..

[Che -Guevara]

Iam happy these I-d-o-i-t-s choose to quit, but at the same they have point in stating the goverment in Baydhabo is no of use to the people of Xamar and to Somalis at large. Yeey should for once do the right thing and step down.

So the "minister of religion" is fighting the men of religion (the courts) and the "minister of the disarment of militias" runs a militia of his own? And we wonder why the TFG can't succeed? Here's a reason why: we have the bloody wolves guarding the sheep, that's why.

where you expecting anything else?

[-Lily-]

It's all part of the progress, let them expose themselves for the inefficent 'MPs' that they are, and that's being polite, very polite. :cool:

[Che -Guevara]

Apparently Qanyare is retracting his earlier statement and stating that he is busy fighting "terrorists", while our beloved Mogadisho is again on the march to self destruction.Thirty people dead so far according to some reports.People in diasporo should wake up and get involved.!!!! Somali political apathy in home and abroad allowed to these men to do as they please.

 

Lily....A decade and half should have been enough time for us to know these men are not in it for us....It is the public that's ineffecient and indiffirent to their own plight, the warlords are just doing fine.

 

Mogadishu 25 May. 06 ( Sh.M.Network) Somalia's Internal Security Minister warlord Mohamed Qanyare on Thursday denied media reports that he and three other ministers in the country's fledging administration were resigning.

 

 

 

Qanyare

Qanyare has come under pressure from other members of parliament who say he and other warlords involved in Somalia's worst fighting in a decade should be sacked as government ministers and charged with war crimes.

 

Around 250 people, many civilians, have died this year in Mogadishu during street battles that continued on Thursday between Islamic fighters and warlord militias, which many analysts and Somalis believe are funded by the United States.

 

Radio reports late on Wednesday stated that Qanyare had said he and three other ministers were thinking of resigning.

 

"That's pure propaganda, it's not true, I did not say that," Qanyare told Reuters by telephone. "I said we are busy fighting with terrorists now. We don't have time for the government."

 

Members of parliament meeting in the southern city of Baidoa last week asked Prime Minister Mohamed Ali Gedi to dismiss warlords from the cabinet, saying they had broken ceasefire accords signed in Kenya during the formation of the government.

 

Other warlords include Commerce Minister Muse Sudi Yalahow, Religious Affairs Minister Omar Mohamed Mohamud and Militia Disarmament Minister Bootan Isse Alim.

 

The interim Somali parliament met inside the country for the first time in February but the warlords had formed an "Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counter-Terrorism" a few days before in what many Somalis saw as an attempt to undermine it.

 

The interim administration, the 14th attempt at restoring central rule since the 1991 overthrow of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, is powerless to control fighting in Mogadishu.

 

Ibrahim Mallim, a militia member close to Qanyare, said fighting that erupted on Wednesday, ending a nearly week-long ceasefire brokered by local elders, had resumed on Thursday.

Duke, How is it great news that the power brokers of Somalia leave the fragile Peace government? This only puts Somalia in a more rotten complex situation...

 

 

Duke, The Arta government failed becouse of the power brokers were against it.

[General Duke]

^^^ The arta governement in my opinion failed because it got trapped in Mogadishu, and because Abdiqasin was a *** can I put it money driven.

 

The warlords are no longer the power brokers of even Mogadishu let alone Somalia.

 

Latest news, Qaynyare back tracks and says its all bulshit, that he did no such thing as quite..

[Che -Guevara]

The warlords are no longer the power brokers of even Mogadishu let alone Somalia.

This fight ain't over.As long as we worship Qabiil, these warlords ain't gonna run out of young men to sacrifice.

[General Duke]

^^^^ But they will run out of money and when that happens their mythical power will vanish...
