Maya sxb Nairobi...Gen. Galaal iyo itoobiya dab iyo baasiin ee isku yihiin wadanka ma joogin intee itoobiyanka heesten sida u maleynayo balse waa hubaa inuu maalin hore Nairobi ka hadlay.
I doubt he would be in Xamar during the Ethiopian presence considering his history in the '77 war.
He was the same man who adviced the ICU in 2006 when Ethiopia attacked to withdraw their troops from everywhere & build strong defense lines around Banadir, which they never listened to.
Something tells me Sh. Hassan Daahir Aweys is under house in Asmara, he would have left a long time ago.
is it possible to replace the TFG Mp's that were part of A/Y's govt with the ARS from asmara?
and i think the somali police force and army should be given to the ICU fighters, they are much more honest and trustworthy compared to qeybdiids 'tfg' mooryaan militia.
That's the plan. Shariif is keeping close contact with the ICU and his old pals. While he is under international pressure at the moment to build an all inclusive government that includes un-savory characters, his main goal is to get rid off former TFG members one by one through a political sphere. Sometimes the pen yields better results than the AK-47 and that's what he realized. It will take time and it will be frustrating initially, but I think all these former goons & warlords in the TFG will be thrown out and replaced with better candidates.
Regarding the future troop issue, Sh. Abdulqadir Ali Omar's ICU troops have already taken over Xamar's security. They are planning to restore order for the time being and isolate former TFG mooryaan. Instead of angering A/Qeybdiid & Dhagaxtuur out-right and risking them going to Ethiopia to re-arm to fight against him. Shariif is keeping them around for now and has told them that their militia need to get out of the city. Delicate business.
