Mogadishu, Somalia (HOL) - The Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) has nominated Sheik Shariif Sheik Sheik Ahmed for the presidency of Somalia in a meeting they held today in Djibouti.
In a press conference following the their meeting, Prof. Abdurrahman Hajji Ibbi read a communiqué stating that Sheik Shariif is their only candidate for the presidency of Somalia.
Sheik Shariif also spoke at the press conference and thanked members of the ARS for nominating him as their candidate for the presidency of Somalia and said he accepts their nomination.
The ARS has 275 members in the enlarged Parliament of 550 members. The other 275 members come from the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). While the ARS has only one candidate, so far, running for the presidency of Somalia, there are several candidates on the TFG side running for the presidency.
Among those who have declared their intention to run for the Somalia’s presidency include the acting Prime Minister Mr. Nuur Hassan Hussein (Nuur Ade), the former Prime Minister of the TFG Mr. Ali Mohamed Gedi, Mr. Mohamed Qanyare Afrah, Mr. Mohamed Mohamud Guuleed Ga’mo Dheere, Dr. Ali Khaliif Galayr, Mr. Ade Gaabow and Yusuf Omar Azhari.
Its good news definitely. once he wins, he needs to avoid the famous cliche "midnimida somalidu waa muqadas" nothing is except that which comes from Allah. If he avoids the pitfalls and empty rhetoric of his predecessors and proves to be a pragmatist there is hope. Otherwise he will be only another failure, committing blasphemy and does not even understand djibouti is somali as well and part of that 5 star somaliweyn.
i want abu mansur to be the president by i don't mind sheikh sharif. If he can unify the country and bring al shabab into the mix, then we are looking at somalia back in business again
He should win, at least he will bring people together. I would have preferred if he did not run for president just yet....there's a lot of cra.p going on at the moment, whoever wins is going to have a hellish job. Laakin, he has proven himself during his 6 months peaceful leadership and he has also shown a lot of diplomacy and resilience through out the past couple of years. Plus no one is going to support any group fighting against a government led by Sh. Shariif, unless he does something insanely out of character after he wins.
