xiinfaniin Posted November 18, 2011 ^^ :D The model of Egypt is not applicable to Somalia. Somalis have no regime to protest against. Perhaps what Somalia needs is a not-so-secular version of Mustafa Kamel Attaturk, a Turkish General who against all odds liberated his country from a similar scramble i.e. British, Americans, Italy, Armenian, Greece etc in a astonishing three years time. But again Kamel had a proud masses who only lost power 3 or so years ago, and with an imperial roots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldCoast Posted November 18, 2011 The SCAF really screwed up. With the Ikhwan now clearly against them, they've created a united opposition against their rule all across the political spectrum. It is good news for the future of Egyptian poltiical rule however. I am glad the Ikhwan and their allies were astute enough not to blow their legitimacy in order to ensure a good relationship with the military, despite the likelihood they will win the election.

omar12 Posted November 19, 2011 xiinfaniin Somalia needs an exact replica of Ataturk! Whats funny though, is how many people from Gamal Nasser to Siad Barre tried and failed to replicated him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
