President Abdullahi Yussef is he a villain or a hero?

[TZ Somali]

I vividly remember it was almost two years ago when I was in a my University dormitory watching a crowd of jubilant Somalis in the evening television news jumping with utter excitements in the streets of Nairobi, Kenya as the initial agreement that led to subsequent formation of transition government was reached.

Two years on the shear excitements and jubilant crowd that I saw on BBC television has given way to overwhelming disappointments. Abdullahi Yussuf’s government has proved to be nothing but just another farce of mounting political disappointments that the Somalis masses have unfortunately got well acquainted with. I must admit although I haven’t had the privilege to have born in and live in Somalia, hence my username; but just like any other Somalis I greeted the news initially with a sense of relief and brief apprehension of jubilation that finally Somalia has got a government and the process of political and tribal reconciliation and the rebuilding the shattered country will at last be underway to recover the country from brink of self extinction.

To my horror the optimisms that I and many other Somalis shared initially throughout the globe was short lived when typical pattern of Somalia’s tribal politics emerged, it was a matter of days when my hope and that of many of my countrymen ware dashed, this time by marauding Somali parliamentary elders wielding sticks (Bakoraat) in their opposition against the proposed deployment of Ethiopian troops by Mr. Abdullahi Yussuf in responds to such proposal most of the MPS lost their sanity and sort to expressed themselves through violence under the spotlight of international media; making a mockery of the progressed made and giving talk show hosts across the globe some thing to giggle about.

Although I do not condone violence in any form or shape and also the despicable behaviour of the Somalis elders and Mps alike, but in my view President Abdullahi Yussuf should blame no one but the marriage of convenience he has forged with Prime Minister Males Zenawi of Ethiopia, we all know the level of hate, political distrust and not to mention heightening level of animosity that has been the focal point of relationship between the two countries.

The relationship of the these two nations has been marred by history of violence and series of bloodlettings, I am certain that having been a Colonel himself in the former Somali army and once fought against the Ethiopian regime of Mingustu Haile Mariam; President Abdullahi Yussuf would have definitely knew the extent of political turmoil his proposal and the subsequent request to deployed the Ethiopian troops under the auspicious of IGAD mandate to disarm the warring parties would have bring or generated, but nevertheless he chosen to proceed and remain oblivious to the political history of both two nations.

Now my question is why would he go to such extent to deploy the Ethiopia’s troops against the will of the majority Somalis except from certain portion of the population mostly from his tribe or clan? After careful thought I am compel to conclude with this bold assumption; is my belief that Abdullahi yussuf proposal to deployed our arch enemy’s army was not the result of political spell from the Ethiopians or that of his deteriorating second hand liver rejecting his somewhat aging body, but his proposal was a mere product of imprudent political calculations, he sort to gain military manpower to secure and sustain his despised government once it arrives in Mogadishu from the warring warlords opposed to him, thanks to his lack of sense charisma, political experience and basic intelligence he has instead achieved completely the opposite to his objective by managing to unite the majority of Somalia’s warlords which has been unheard-off in the history of the civil war.

I must admit there is no avenue for Mr. Abdullahi Yussuf to rehabilitate his dying career politically, he has lost the political support he has enjoyed during the initials days of the formation of his government in Nairobi, Kenya; but I may add he does still have chance to attain the little integrity left in his somewhat delusional character by at least rescue his government from eroding recognition from the majority of Somalis not to mention the pending humiliations should he persist with his repugnant political stance; I’m afraid this entails him quitting the presidency immediately and politics all together in doing so these move should grant him the necessary time to rest and cater to his failing health by at least renegotiating the fast expiring “terms of contract” with his ill-disciplined and very rebellious liver that he has snatched from dead corpse somewhere in so called “Puntland”.

It's a nice day outside. Sunny & clear with a high of 86.

[Axlaan]

He is my HERO. I just wish I can give him my liver.

Mental,
How do you do walaal?

[LionHeart-112]

Axlaan---why is he your hero? I don't know much about him, but from what i have read he sounds just like another mooryaan thug who will put his qabiil before the rest. How is he different than Xusseen Caydiid? I think i much preferred AbdulKasim. He looked like a muslim..

P.S. I meet my new shrink today...I'm so excited and nervous.

Lionheart good point brother......

[LionHeart-112]

Tz-Somali---Thanks. We somalis need some1 who can put his qabiil aside and try to unite the Somalis. I mean COME ON! This should be the most peaceful country on earth. Every speaks the same language, share the same culture, follow the same religion.. what the hell is our problem? Walahi i don't understand somalis. I feel like an alien living among Somalis. I honestly don't think somalia will ever become peaceful. This is it. This is the end. Sorry for hijacking your thread, but i have just had enough of this life.

TZ,

I must admit I am enthralled by your keen observation of the Somali political quagmire albeit being a Sijui (not in a deregotary manner) I must say every point you raised here is well worth the scrutiny you displayed in your analysis and indepth, and it shows your level of concern and apprehension of the gloomy end.

Mr. Yusuf, as you put it, is an ailing octegenarian who has neither self worth nor self esteem and would sell his pride to the first bidder regardless of the price offer. He has a dictatorial mindset and gives the middle finger to any opposing party or as recently proven, would set his dogs upon his opponents. He has fought for this seat tooth and nail for ions and giving it up would be when he takes his last breath sitting on it or attempting to. His ego supercedes the welfare of Somalia and he is not a man to reckon with as a savior of that country.

I as a person am not a big fan of any dictator/warlord and Yusuf is way beyond every warlord known to us in the history of Somalia.
