The Opportunistic Politicians:
Skirting behind the drum beating to gain a support for Ethiopian withdrawal from the country, Dr. Ali Khalief Glayr participated in the Conference held in Ohio. While some of participants were talking about Ethiopia, Mr. Glayr has not missed a beat to mobilize people to gain support for his campaign to purge the TFG out of power, or may be even out of the country; if left to his disposal. His condescending tone and his unabashed condemnation of the TGF, revealed his knavery demeanor. This is the same guy with whom the Somali people entrusted with the responsibility of leadership more than once before. He, instead, abused our innocence and cheated us of trust. The Somali people have not yet forgotten his trickery ways. As if that was not enough, he couldn’t contain his lust for power and he once again has tried with every vein of his body to join the TFG, even wanted to run for president if he given that golden opportunity. Little did he know that a heavy weight warlord, Abdillahi Yussuf, had a different plan for his dream. Today, he is, like many others of his kind, once again running around organizing a tide of innocent young generation in the Diaspora thinking that he could create a rising Tsunami of national indignation directed against the TFG, specifically Abdillahi Yusuf. For him, it is just what politicians do: if I cannot have it, no one else should. It is about personal vendetta that many people don’t even know about it. It is the only thing our politicians of today know, no matter how many books they read or wrote about democracy and political systems that the reset of the world uses. To be fair to him, there others and many more opportunistic political animals who think that they own the Somali people and its politics. The question is: Can we trust them?
