Baashi Posted June 7, 2011 Unfortunately I lost interest in all things Somali politics and I am not up to date. I am trying to resurrect Waxa-La-Yirri news program. To do that I am asking you to fill me in. Your input will be considered as a field report;) Don't worry, the one man army news team will exercise his editorial capacity to make a judgement call whenever his sensibilities are not in tune with what's been reported. Waxa-La-Yirri has its built-in filter updated to WLY 2.0 version -- a very robust chatter sensor with state of the art clan blind filter. We will focus on six cross-linked political forces operating within the battery limit of the carcass of Somalia that once existed [Raqdii Maandeeq]: 1. Traditional institution -- clan-based norms of xeer and its clan chieftain underwriters aka nabadoono, duubab, oday dhaqamedyo. With diminished authority, they still wield influence over their domains. 2. Religious institutions -- fragmentation notwithstanding, armed or not; these groupings will be lumped as force with a voice at the table. 3. Recovery zones -- clans at the periphery way from the center of gravity and the national seat; these successful fiefdoms are also a force to be reckon with. 4. Regional/International supported Transitional Federal Institutions (TFI) -- symbolized by its latest incarnation of Pres. Sh. Ahmed & PM Farmajo led team. 5. Crowd/Mop/Marauding Militia -- gullible, confused, and misled youth (male) who seems to cheer for the very cutthroat leaders that led them into the abyss. 6. Foreigners -- front-line states and regional players --who have vested interest in the outcome of the raging conflict in Somalia. Waxa-La-Yirri will examine the state of the country and see if it can shed light on where we've been yesterday and where we are now and take a stock of the progress or lack thereof we made since last edition of WLY. Time permitting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
