Recommended Posts

Sharif is not sincere on this issue that can be true i was reading an article today that he and gandi never agreed on a state in the two Juba's and Gedo so this might be true with the whole Military training.

East Africa: Museveni Discusses Somali Fears With Kibaki

 

27 November 2011

 

New details have emerged that show that despite the display of diplomatic niceties and pledges of co-operation between Kenya and the Transitional Federal Government in Somalia, deep misgivings remain in Mogadishu that Kenya's engagement is likely to shift the power balance in Somalia in favour of the populous ****** clan.

 

Apparently, the inner circle in Mogadishu is uncomfortable with the visibility and prominence in the Kenyan military operation of Kenyan ethnic Somalis -- a good number of whom are members of the ****** clan.

 

A top Kenya government official involved in the negotiations told The EastAfrican last week that the elite of the TFG were also still not agreed on the appropriate level and extent of Kenya's engagement in the crisis. (READ: 'A coalition should take over next phase of mission')

 

It is understood that when Somalia's President, Sheikh Sharif Ahmed visited Kampala early this month to hold discussions with Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, the lead item on the agenda was the ****** factor and Mogadishu's worry that the Kenyan operation had the potential of stoking parochial nationalism, leading to agitation for a breakaway province bordering Kenya.

 

It was after the meeting in Kampala that Museveni agreed to organise a meeting between Sheikh Sharif and President Mwai Kibaki. Earlier, Museveni had also raised the issue with Prime Minister Raila Odinga when they met in Tel Aviv where both were on an official visit. (READ: How war boosts Kenya's regional, global clout)

 

Apart from the fact that Uganda has a big contingent in Amisom, the African Union peacekeeping force in Somalia, Kampala's interests in the country -- whether economic or geostrategic -- remain limited in comparison with Ethiopia and Kenya.

 

Ever the arbiter

 

But President Museveni would appear to be keen to play arbiter between Kenya and Ethiopia on the one hand and the TFG on the other to shore up his credentials as a key player in regional politics.

 

The Horn of Africa is characterised by permeable borders with ethnic groups overlapping national boundaries and extensive flows of people, goods and services -- whether legal or illegal -- between states.

 

The misgivings about Kenya grew when a group of ****** leaders met in Nairobi to discuss the formation of a semi-autonomous Jubaland that will comprise northern regions of Lower and Middle Juba and Gedo on the Kenya-Somalia border.

 

The meeting had proposed Jubaland as the third semi-autonomous breakaway region after Somaliland [northwestern Somalia] and Puntland [northeastern Somalia].

 

A group of former Somali MPs told the Nairobi meeting that if created, Jubaland would act as a buffer zone and frustrate incursions by Al Shabaab, prevent entry of refugees, and smuggling of arms into Kenya.

 

Muhammad Gandhi, a former defence minister in Somalia who is co-ordinating the plan, said it would bring stability in the region occupied by Al Shabaab. "We are ready to liberate the three regions from Al Shabaab," he said.

 

The delegates adopted a regional constitution with 81 articles to help govern the proposed state of Jubaland. They also elected Prof Gandhi as the new president of Jubaland.

 

They said the new region would be fashioned on the model of the autonomous Puntland and Somaliland in the north.

 

"We intend to conclude a plan of action that has been ongoing for the past two years. We must restore nationhood and unity to the people of Somalia who have suffered for the past 20 years," said Prof Gandhi.

 

The anxiety over clannism revives the issue of the 4.5 Clan formula that was developed at the last peace conference in Nairobi in 2004, but which has never been properly implemented.

I find it very disturbing the so called President of Somalia complains in a foreign capital against a Somali Clan a Community he supposed to represent but than again Sharif thinks he is the president of Yaaqshiid and boondhere only.
