Two Shariifs at it again, Fresh Row Between President Sharif and Speaker Hassan over Possible Farmaajo Successor

Somali Prime Minister Resigns as Part of a Political Deal update

Mogadishu, Somalia (tf.sf) - The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia on Monday reportedly postponed a function in which the executive authorities were expected to name a new prime minister after Sunday’s resignation of Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo.

Government sources told terror free somalia that a fresh disagreement between president Sharif and Speaker Hassan may have led to the postponement of an anticipated announcement of a new prime minister for Somalia.
In the early morning hours on Monday, the president and the speaker were locked up in a meeting at government headquarters in the capital Mogadishu. The two were said to have been conversing over the probable successor for the premier’s office.Public relations officials of the government have invited the local media for the faltered naming ceremony which was delayed due to what internal sources said was a ‘fresh row’ between the speaker and the president that cropped up yet again.

"We noticed enraged speaker Hassan coming out of the office of the president and immediately boarded his vehicle. We were later told the anticipated naming function was delayed” one Mogadishu-based reporter told tf.sf.
Local reporters who were invited and were present for the function said some government officials told them that it appeared the two Sharif’s failed to agree over who should take over the vacant office.
Some reports indicated that the president proposed the name of the acting Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali who took over office on Sunday. The speaker was seemingly opposed to the president’s proposal.
This latest emerging row between the president and the parliament speaker is a testimony to the endless political undertones that have marred the fragile western-backed government.
Persistent squabbling between the president and the speaker has hampered the efficiency of the interim authority where the two executive officials are embroiled in a heated political standoff that many analysts described as a very unfortunate one for Somali where a two-decade conflict still continues unabated.


Illegal and Dangerous Deal forces Somali PM out of office

Somalia's prime minister has resigned, giving in to pressure from the country's president and the parliamentary speaker.

Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed's resignation follows a deal between the president and the speaker to oust him while extending the troubled administration's term.

"Considering the interest of the Somali people and the current situation in Somalia, I have decided to leave my office," Mohamed told reporters in the capital, Mogadishu, on Sunday.

Protests in support of Mohamed erupted in Mogadishu as the word of his resignation got out. Hundreds marched through the streets saying that Mohamed was the only honest politician in the government.

Reports suggest some soldiers also joined the protests and abandoned their posts.

Deal suspected

Earlier this month, Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, the Somalian president, and Sharif Hassan Sheik Aden, the speaker, agreed to dismiss Mohamed after only eight months as prime minister as part of their deal to extend the transitional government.

Some analysts believe members of the ethnic Darood tribe from the Puntland region pressured the president and the speaker to replace the prime minister, an ethnic Ogadeni, with one of their own. Others suggest the speaker wants to replace Mohamed with a close associate. The president went along in order to keep his own job.

Mohamed initially rejected the deal and threatened to call people to the streets. Some analysts believe Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan president, played a role in bringing about his eventual resignation.

With several thousand Ugandan peacekeepers guarding Somalian officials, the Ugandan government is influential in shaping Somalia's internal politics.

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.
