National security leaders must be changed.

[galbeedi]

In the light of latest attack in the presidential palace, national security leaders must be replaced if the government want to have any credible standing among the public. There were three or four major bombings in Mogadishu for the last few months. Other than the latest crack down of Al-shabaab strongholds, the security agencies have not been proactive in terms of disrupting or uncovering plots.

 

They moved only when the President was almost assassinated. That shows a lack of urgency and seriousness from the leaders. When an al-shabaab fighter shows up at the gate of the president's office, everyone and every thing must have already failed.

 

The so called Damujadiid Minister of National Security must be replaced with an experienced individual who grasps the seriousness of the treat posed by Al-shabaab. The time for patronage and filling up the deck with Damujaqdiid friends is over. Take him as one of your advisers or if you can't dismiss him, nominate him as the minister of sports or Kabaha.

 

No group, sect, or tribe shall not be allowed to defend the nation. ( Reer ama xaafad midna loo dayn maayo in ay ku keliyeystaan difaaca wadanka). The diaspora members must not be left to lead the internal security issues which needs local experience. The Police Chief happen to be these categories. He must be replaced with Local commander.

 

Mr. Prime Minister it is time to take charge of the security affairs of the country. This President has been micro managing every little detail of the state for the last year and half. The result is a colossal disaster. The growth and presence of the foreign powers is alarming today. The Ethiopian forces who left Somalia two years ago are now in Baidoa, Hiiraan, Galgaduud and Gedo. Soon they will be in Shabeelaha Hoose.

 

For the future of Somalia , Mr. President you must let the Prime Minister to lead and manage the country at this juncture, accept your role as honorable ceremonial president and the symbol of a nation and the head of Somali state.

If the security situation doesn't improve within the nest six months, then, dramatic steps must be taken. September/2014 will be two years from the day this president was elected. On that date, the Parliament must convene and debate whether to continue on that road or change direction. We can;t waste four years without any tangible achievement.

 

This President must realize that a notice of warning have been given to him by the Somali people. everyone will be accountable.

[Holac]

Vey well said. But what if the President is the problem himself?

[galbeedi]

well, he has no choice. There are no cards for him to play. Do we have to wait when the Ethiopian tanks enter Mogadishu again to save him from Al-shabaab. He is done. I heard that today he accepted the Joint Financial management proposed by the donors. Every penny donated will be overseen by a committee of both Somalis and international community members.

 

The Prime Minister will be the face of the government.
