[quote="kambuli"]On the Somali presidential race in Kenya If Caddow won the election instead of Abdilaahi would we have been in this situation? Would he meet the same resistance as Abdillaahi? Would Ibrahim Ahmed Caddow be in Asmara Now?[/quote]
Abdullahi Ahmed Caddow was the one who ran for the president in Kenya Conference against C/laahi Yusuf but Prof. Ibrahim Ahmed Caddow is his religious brother who was and still is part of the Maxaakimta. Two different guys but they're brothers.
To answer your question, C/laahi Ahmed Caddow simply never had any support from anyone in Somalia except USA government because of his past work of being former Ambassador to USA. This is the main reason he lost both Conferences in Arta Djibouti and Kenya while the State Department tried its best to help him out. How things would have turned out if he was chosen as the President, ?? I don't know if you listened but few weeks ago, he was interviewed by VOA and was asked this same question. He answered , "he wouldn't have invited or asked for help any foreign countries 'Militarily'. "
I guess that answers your question !
