General Duke Posted August 11, 2012 A highly educated Somali woman supports the right candidate... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Somalia Posted August 13, 2012 Very good choice, she has campaigned for charcoal banning and Abdiweli has also which got it banned by UNSC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted August 13, 2012 Indeed, he supported one of her biggest campaigns... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted August 13, 2012 Does her support matter to those who will choose the president? Come on boys, you're not really saying that those deliberating over the choice of president will all suddenly agree on cabdelwali the minute they are told "tii dhuxusha ka hor jeeday ayaa taageersan". Naga daaya dee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted August 13, 2012 ^Don't be obtuse waryee. Only $$$ matters to those making the selection of the president. This endorsement matters not to those inside the country but those outside who deem endorsements matter in elections, I mean selections. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted August 13, 2012 ^^ I still don't get it. Why is her support that important? Who are the ones outside? (IC?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted August 13, 2012 Puntlander supporting Puntlander.....remember clan is everything?? Get it now? Astaqfurulaah. War ha idambaajin waryaa. By the way, no clue about her clan relations to the man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted August 13, 2012 NGoonge it matters because she is well respected from that of the country which she hails. Her clan has many MP's and some of the ladies which now make up 30% of the Parliment view her as a champion. Wax fahan, educated people support Abdiweli unlike the rest...

NGONGE Posted August 13, 2012 ^^ Aha! You should have run with the 30% women idea from the start dee. The rest is all politics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted August 13, 2012 Of course it's all politics lad. Faduma Jibril is a famous woman, well respected within her community and by the international stakeholders. Another angle for you to ponder... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted August 13, 2012 ^^ The IC will have their own agenda ninyaho. Naga daa dee. To be honest, I would love it if you discuss the MPs and their expected choices rather than this "western" way of picking out names that don't really matter in our street politics. Wax fahan dee. Work out the number of MPs and break them down into "sure bet", "can be bribed", "unkown quantity", "dreamers" and "IC stooges". Then try to see how many each candidate is likely to get and who (in this purly impartial experiment) is going to win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted August 13, 2012 NGOONGE that's not a bad suggestion. The only problem is we don't have the final list of MP's yet. However if you look at the other threads we have been discussing the selection criteria (Sharif's don't like, specially Sakiin), as well as those who got shafted, Qaybyare out, Galayr maybe, and Ala Shiekh definitely. So u like your Fixation with Ms. Jibril here, we have been covering all angles, even Sharif Ahmed sudden rush out of the country.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
