Somalia: No-confidence motion against President Hassan looms-Sources

MOGADISHU, Somalia April 14, 2014 (Garowe Online)-Lawmakers in Federal Parliament of Somalia are planning to table a no-confidence motion against President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud amid growing concern over the credibility of his administration according to independent sources, Garowe Online reports.

The sources within Mogadishu-based Federal Government tell GO that Federal MPs who hail from Hawiye clan held a private meeting with President Hassan at Villa Somalia Presidential Compound, disclosing the looming political threats to him and asking President Hassan to respond to the emerging bold challenge.

Speaking to GO, the sources declined to be named in print further unveiled the magnitude of the no-confidence motion against the head of state whose tenure of office has been gripped by weak counter-terrorism policy and ineffective domestic policy, with heavy weight Somali politicians and some of the International community members involving in the move.

At least 40 MPs are said to have filed the motion although Presidential aides and President's close friends have showed off shrewd tactics to doom the plan to failure.

The US director of national intelligence James clapper in early February declared that persistent political infighting, weak leadership from President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, ill-equipped government institutions and pervasive technical shortfalls threatened the credibility and the effectiveness of Somalia federal government.

As a result of looming threats of instability, the US state department issued a travel warning to Americans going out on trip to Somalia on 7th of February 2013. "Terrorist operatives and armed groups in Somalia have demonstrated their intent to attack Somali authorities, the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), and other non-military target," the statement from the US government revealed.

On 22nd of February, Al Shabaab gunmen in military fatigues launched a deadly assault on the heavily fortified presidential compound in Mogadishu and killed senior government officials.

Meanwhile, large scale theft of government funds dealt blow to the ties between President Mohamud and International donors but his administration could hardly wean off their financial support.

Though Political infighting within key government offices far and away unleashed another menace in the war-ravaged horn of African nation, the new motion would be a paradigm shift or political miscalculation.

This needs to happen. We need a president to kick out amisom, we need a president who doesnt get pushed around by fuckin xabashis and kikuyus. We need a president who can tackle al-shaabab on their own,(right now they're looking scared to even fight them). We have a president who is 24/7 asking for money all the time like its fixed in his head that he doesn't have to pay them back,(Dont get me wrong im sure other somalis in the horn do this too . Masallah turkey helped out in mogadishu alot, they built hospitals, schools, and are paving most roads. I know for a fact turkey wants to get some of our oil, they wouldnt do all this if we didnt have any. And dont say cause their muslim, where is saudi arabia building schools? where is the emirates building hospitals? Giving money to the government wont do shit like they do right now. They probably know they just cash the cheque and put the money deep in their pants quick before someone sees them.

I hope our next president can understand what it means to serve a country, especially a country like somalia coming out of a long period of inner fighting.
