Last part, chairman Cirro must change his character......to win

[galbeedi]

Since it is Ramadan , I do not have enough time and energy to deeply analyze his winning strategy, so, the time has come to conclude the strategy questions and proceed to the issues of character.

 

Strategy # 5 , who did you reached so far?.

 

As a chairman of the " Wakiilada", you did not reach out other communities when you were setting up parliamentary committees. People are aware that almost 65% of the committee chairs are from your community. You might not like the opposition or others, but show leadership and inclusive strategy. There is a perception that a single group of community are acting as a large tent party. The people are much smarter than we think, so start reaching out.

 

Strategy # 6, the vice presidential candidate.

The Wadani party has an able vice presidential candidate by the name of Ahmed Muumin Seed. This man was one of the early founders of Wadani party. He opened the first office in Borama and he endured through thick and thin. He was a tough and out spoken opposition who was in the front lines to expose the misdeeds of the ruling party. Among the Awdalites that joined different parties, he is the strongest. Even when Suldaan Wabar was agitating at the border, he did not panic and did not call any names to those who were accused of insurgency. As a experienced politician , he said the Wabar issues were the symptoms of the policies implemented by the Siilaanyo government., and he called for negotiations.

 

Now, in the media we see a lot of people from the diaspora who are suddenly running for the vice president. It is really a disgrace for these Awdalites who think they can start from the top of the party without lifting any thing. If they are eager of leading some thing , let them challenge Cirro himself and seek the top post or help those who were in the trenches for the last five years. Mr Cirro must stop playing these chicken games by inviting every Cali and Cumar from the diaspora to seek for the vice president. If you mess with these issues, you will lose. Pitching different groups will eventually divide the Awdal community and you will pay a high price for that. In conclusion , do not wreck the boat.

 

" Kuwan reer Awdal ah ee maalin walba leh ku xigeen baan u sharaxanahay leh, waxaan leeyahay dadka ka fadhiista"

 

Strategy # 7, the diaspora.

 

learn from the Siiilaanyo group who mobilized a large number of the diaspora and asked them to donate and participate the election at home. By going home directly, They could monitor the election and mobilize people to the polling stations . On the other hand , be ware of the looser from the diaspora who have done or achieved nothing in their life time, yet want to be on the for front line of the caravan.

Character matters.

 

As I stated in my last report, he must change his personal character in order to attract people and show strong leadership. The major character weaknesses that may undermine his campaign are are already apparent for those who follow the chairman.

 

1- A dull or cool as a cucumber.

 

Mr. C/raxman Cirro is a soft spoken former ambassador who served the Somali state in the late eighties. probably , because of his former job as a diplomat, he always speaks diplomatically which is a good trait in times of crises. He is also described as cool . While all these are good qualities, a strong leader must show commanding voice while addressing the audience.. .

 

As Donald Trumo said " he has a law energy" . Ahmed Siilanyo too is a law energy person, but he could be forgiven because of his age and health, but why would a man who is just sixty years old act like someone who has no stamina at all. He does not warm up the room or command the audience when he engages. He does not show interest in people or eagerness to attract to his cause. Muuse Biixi might have a lot of weaknesses, but when he speaks , he seem to be confident and strong. In Somalialnd, , it has been always difficult to find moderate leaders in terms out their speeches.

 

Xaaji Cabdi Waraabe , oo ka hadlaya Cigaal and Rayaale, ayaa yidhi , " MIdna naga aamus baan ku kari weyney, kanina dadka lahadal ayaan ka weyney".

 

2- It is the people who vote .

 

He is out of the touch of the common people. Just like the former leaders of the Somali transitional leaders, he is out of the land flying around the world. Just like Siilaanyo, he does not explain his foreign missions in an open forum other than say ," we have achieved for what we traveled for". He seems to be in constant networking of outsiders and others while neglecting the locals.

 

Markaad kaadiriinta waydiiso, " waar ninkani maxaa loo arki laayahay oo uu dadka wax ula qaybsan laayahay, waa maxay derbigan ku gadaaman iyo daciifnimada ka muuqaata? Waxay kuugu jawaabayaan , " waar ninkani meel walba iyo hawl kasta hoostu ayuu ka soo xidhay oo si aydaan fahmayn ayuu u shaqeeyaa, wax walbana waa u diyaar".

 

Well, under ground networking might help you gain few big fat cats, but the larger public is looking for a leader who will speak for them and explain his agenda for the future. So far I had never seen him address a big crowd people in an open field. Mr Cirro, it is the people who you must convince not the donors.

 

in conclusion warmth, energy and strong command of the audience is prerequisite to win people's hearts.
