NGONGE's Argument for SL's London Conference Participation

[Mintid Farayar]

^^^Khaatumo settled on a strategy early on after its 'formational shir'. The traditional 'odayaal' would concentrate on the internal structure within Taleex and surrounding villages, in order to hold back the feared encroachment of both Siilaanyo and Faroole, while Ali Khalif and Ali Isse would concentrate on the external game as the professional, intellectual heavyweights of the project. They further divided this task by having Ali Khalif work the Mogadishu angle through the FG structures, while Ali Isse(with professional 'diplomatic' experience as a long-term IMF official) would concentrate on the IC portfolio.

 

The strategy/plan looked good in theory but then it hit the pavement. Things have not panned out as planned for the project thus far.....

 

But SL, as ever, is waiting for its errant boys to come home.....

Oodka,

 

In early July of last year, the former IMF economist, Ali Isse, of Khaatumo fame/infamy, went around Nairobi doing the

'Western Embassy talking circuit'

to win sympathy for the Khaatumo project. While keeping details to a minimum, the sessions did not go so well for our Khaatumo architect. He found these Embassies were better informed on the happenings in his ancestral lands than he was. He also realized these same Embassies were well-clued up to the

diaspora-based

nature of this project.

 

This contributed to the demoralization we detected recently on the Khaatumo front. Since the timing was before the Mogadishu elections for new FG leadership, Khaatumo strategy was quickly adapted to gain influence through influence-peddling within the FG parliamentary and presidential elections, and by aligning with the

'correct'

presidential aspirant, open up a new front against SL. We all know that strategy didn't get very far.

Khadar,

I would love for you to use the 'tol' grapevine and find out where exactly the 'good economist' was last July and who he met with officially (I'm sure you have your contacts among 'reerka'). Then, once you've ascertained that, we could continue this conversation in a more measured way ;)
