Walle Saacid Shirdoon has gotten his revenge.
He must be laughing his ass off in Dubai right now.
The five causes of his government's downfall---have all had the irony of fate come back to cut them in pieces.
1. Fowsia Haji Adan was the first to resign to bring down his cabinet. She was so tarnished by corruption, no matter what Hassan Sheikh could do, she was immediately disqualified from the next cabinet. Since then corruption allegations from the UN potential sanction has dogged her. Last I read (I think a month ago) she was still fighting the Shulman Rogers case the monitoring group accused her of leading. Out of all the causes she was the most eager to bring down Saacid's government, yet she has the least credibility today.
2. Abdikarim Guled who became the biggest traitor to Saacid, was the man who was most active in getting MPs to vote Saacid out. Despite being a senior member of Dam Jadiid, he was so tarnished by incompetence scandal that he was forced to resign in disgrace. The government essentially said face sacking or resign. The public and internationnal confidence has to be gotten back since there are rumours you negotiate with Shabaab. Since then he is nowhere to be seen and left in the wind. No public credibility too and a public nobody today.
3. Farah Abdikhadir, the man who singlehandedly wanted to control the country's agenda, was the one to first declare war on Saacid. Today Topaz, the man who wanted to personally shape the federal constitution only has the option to shape the caretaking of livestock. Imagine a man who wanted to build the basic foundation of democratic Somalia was removed by simple order and the world supports the man who sidelined him. He might as well resign and leave government. I have never seen someone so publicly disgraced like that. Again, a man who wanted to shape the entire legal foundation, federalism, the constitution. ..basically ALL the legal foundations of Somalia being built as Justice Minister was targeted to totally remove him from all that and named Minister of LIVESTOCK. The same war he declared on Saacid, has had it declared back on him with 10X. I laugh just imagining the moment he heard the reshuffle declared on radio LOL
4. Hassan Sheikh was the symbolic President who couldn't take it the cabinet is under PM control. Today he is the emporer with no clothes. Literally. Queen of England, go sit there and look nice----you can't move a grain of sand by legal order. Effectively sidelined and now under international microscope, Hassan is shown that government administering belongs to PM and one can't imagine how devastated it is that he can't control the future constitution and future make up of government with his partner Farah as Minister of LIVESTOCK.
5. PARLIAMENT. The illegitimate machine that became bloated with bribery and corruption. Parliamentarians who bribed their elders to name them. Got bribed during presidency. Then became what was used to bring down the previous government with bribes. Today parliament has been told by the world; SIT DOWN, SHUT UP. They huff and puff hoping for pay day, but no one is paying them attention. They are like the little children whose tantrums have gotten so boring no one cares anymore. . Basically Parliament has been told " you fooled us once when we thought you were old enough with serious responsibility; no go take a timeout imp." Shimbirayow heesa, hees wanaagsan hees. Their mouths make sounds, but it has no VOICE.
How much is Saacid laughing today? Any guess?
Somali politics waa comedy shop
