THE FRANCE 24 INTERVIEW: Somali President

[wacdaraha_aduunka]

Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed, Somali President

Wednesday 07 May 2008

 

Elected to the presidency in 2004, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed still faces the delicate challenge of reconciling Somalia's war torn population, as an Islamist insurrection endures and food riots shake the country.

 

The Interview

[Koora-Tuunshe]

Nice video and interview. Thanks

The president still has a mountain to climbFrance24

[Che -Guevara]

President kulahaa, globe-trotting I-doit whose people are being massacred on daily basis. I'm afraid his time is up.

[Lois Lane]

Any of the supporters know why when asked about the food crisis this ***** speaks about the crisis affecting the whole world?

 

This shows a lack of serious leadership. He does not claim to be the president of the world, since he decided to call himself Somali president why not discuss the Somali food crisis and what he plans on doing about that. Oh my bad, I guess the plan is to put your hand out and beg like an undignified stooge.

 

Further, how come he never discuss his plans on establishing any concrete peace process. He let Ethiopians invade us, and yet now that their here he never speaks about real plans or real achievements in regards to peace. What a shamefull excuse of a man!

 

Edit: wow, the starts make it look like I really used a bad word...fyi I only said i-diot. lol

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Maxaaba la fiirsadaa, gargariir dilay, gacantiisa meel uu dhigo la yahay. Ma dhabtuu saartaa, mise kursiga, gariirkeeda uu qarinoyaa.

 

Muxuu dambi iyo ibtilo sii raadsanoyaa, asagoo saas u waayeel ah. Markee faciisa soo toobad keenayeen ayuu asagana duli sii kasbanoyaa.

[wacdaraha_aduunka]

Miskiin qof la caayo nooga ma dhigeyso wadan keena nabad ilaah uun bari cuz allah only knows whats best for us and that the imtixaan he's putting us through inuu naga saaro. Why lie about it cuz the government and these shabaabs are killing people in the most gruesome way inshalaah ilaah ha inoogu badalo wax kheyr dhibtaan maanta ina heysta.

[Lois Lane]

^^^ Walaal,

 

Indeed insults wont solve the problems but this group of men who are killing indirectly and directly Somali citizens dont deserve anything better.

 

While the so-called president begs, the money him and his administration have received so far has never been used towards helping the Somali crisis. It makes you wonder where its all going?

 

old but still very relevant and interesting article from the New York Times:

[Koora-Tuunshe]

^How can you build something that is bound to be exploded?

 

It is like the TFG does something good while the insurgents destroy it. It is easier to destroy than build, yet the TFG is blamed for the ills in Somalia.

 

From the article u posted:

That leaves Mr. Nur with about $18 million a year to run a failed state of nine million of some of the world’s neediest, most collectively traumatized people.

 

America's support for the transitional Somali government is not yet encouraging.

[Lois Lane]

^^^

Whatever explosion you speak of, this administration signed up for the post to run the country. What did they think that the position only meant taking money while doing nothing.

 

So far this administration has had financial and military support from some of the biggest powers in the world. At one point it is up to them to actually think and come up with resolutions to the issues at hand. Resolutions that does not include, inviting an aggressive foreign entity.

 

Last, perhaps they should also attempt to include the Somali citizens when it comes to finding solution, since so far they are uncapable of doing much on their own

[dhulQarnayn]

My fellow Somalis,

 

Like he said, when his mandate is up there will be a free and fair vote to elect a new government. In the meantime, could you all please for once in your lives get your heads outta ya asses and support the man.

[General Duke]

A nice interview.

[Lois Lane]

dhulqarnayn,

 

Indeed his mandate will end, however this is not soon enough. Perhaps, "your fellow Somalis" would have supported the man had he not endangered their lives on a daily basis, without once acknowledging the death tolls, demonstrating any remorses or some kind of simpathy for those that have lost entire families.

 

Last instead of inquiring about our heads, walaal how deep is yours buried in his ****?

[Allamagan]

There will never be a peace as long as Yey is there with the help of amharo tanks. He is absolutely useless and total retard. Somalia and the somalis will never forgive him.

[Xidigo]

Well, Axmaro powerkeed isagoo haysta, ayaa wuxuu noqday geel aan daaqayn barwaaqo.

[Naxar Nugaaleed]

Always the point, the president did will but if moryoleys are bent on destroying country, not much can be done about it.
