NASSIR Posted February 15, 2009 Sheikh Shareef is also said to implement Shariah law and set a date for a phased withdrawal of AU troops. He is credited to have made possible the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces. U.S. officials view the new government with cautious optimism. Talks are underway to remove some insurgents and opposition leaders, including Aweys, from Washington's list of suspected terrorists if they pledge to work with the new government, according to one U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Captain Warya Posted February 15, 2009 People that are comparing this government to the old tgf are forgetting a few things: Firstly the American administration has changed its failed policy on Somalia thanks to Sh Sharif. They are actually willing to negotiate with the Islamists hence they let Sh. Sharif Be president. They are moving away from Ethiopia and they actually want Somalia to have a government now. Sh. Sharif is not a traitor or a puppet. He has obviously made a deal with the US and he is looking at the Interests of Somalia as a nation. He is alot smarter than these ****** who want to keep fighting. HOw can the former chairman of the Islamic courts become a traitor? Somalia has seen enough fighting. Tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions have become homeless. The best way to deal with this now is through negotiation and peace. The ball is in Somalia's court. There are active negotiations going on and the opposition has made fair demands. Inshllah there will be an agreement reached soon. 2009 is Somalia's Year.

These people have had a coal fire to their head recently and yet they are still sprouting their nonsense. This is their last chance. President Sharif fails. It's light out.

NASSIR Posted February 15, 2009 Well said, Captain, but things might not be bright. It all depends on who the PM appoints for the Cabinet posts. Nepotism and Favoritism have been obstacles to peace. I hope both leaders would override this temptation and appoint people based on their good records and qualifications. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
