Profile of new somali president

Cleric Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, 44 who won the Somalia presidency in a parliament vote held in Djibouti last night was born in 1964 in rural area of Mahaday district some 110 miles northeast of the Somalia capital Mogadishu,where he went to Koranic School. In Mogadishu, Ahmed finished his intermediate and secondary study in Egyptian administered Sheikh Sufi. After graduation from Kordafan University in Sudan where he majored in geography and Arabic language, he returned back to Somalia in 1998. He has also learnt in Libya,What's so amazing about him is that he lived in a very simple life in a $50 per month rented house in Yaqshid district in Mogadishu with his wife and two children. Unlike the warlords his alliance chased out of Mogadishu in earliy 2006, Sheik Ahmed doesn't have a lavish lifestyle. Sheik Ahmed is from Agon-yare sub-clan of Abgal clan, one of the dominant clans in Hawiye tribe who inhabit many regions of southern Somalia. He is moderate Islamist and speaks Somali, Arabic and little bit English. His openness and respect for the media gave him the advantage of conveying his messages through local and international media. He always welcomes reporters and gives interviews with detailed answers. He is a black-complexion religious man with short black beard and white turban on his head but now changed it with westren sytle dress of suit.In 2002, he was elected as the chairman of an Islamic court in Jowhar, 90km northeast of Mogadishu. His court dealt with small cases relating to light crimes and conflicts among business people and families. When militia led by Mohamed Omar Habeb 'Mohamed Dhere' invaded and took over the control of Jowhar, Sheik Sharif fled to Mogadishu and started teaching geography in Juba High School in Yaqshid district.He decided to join the Islamic movement in the capital after a 12-year-old boy was kidnapped from his school by gunmen. The kidnappers demanded ransom money which prompted Sheikh Ahmed to stand up against armed thugs in the area. He began campaigning for Islamic courts in the capital to restore peace and some sort of order. "I want to fight against robbers in the capital and also unify the Islamic courts in the city," Ahmed said. In 2004, Sheikh Ahmed became one of the leading figures in the Islamic courts in the capital. His closest friends and allies include Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys, one of the founders of Islamic courts in Somalia and Terrorist ADAN HASHI FARAH(AYROW OR AYRO) the leader of the radical group of Al-Shabab who was later killed in US air strike on Dhusamareb town in central Somalia. In 2005, Sheikh Sharif was elected as the leader of Islamic courts Union, which made by 11 semi-independent courts in Mogadishu. His leadership of the Islamic courts led series of victories over Mogadishu warlords who kept Somalia as hostage for so long. During the ICU rule in Somalia, Sheik Sharif said he accomplished his ultimate dream of freeing Mogadishu from warlords and he's ready to handover the throne anytime he's asked to step aside.

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
