Mogadishu politicians and clan elders are crowding FM airwaves, cursing everything TFG. They are constantly attacking Mahiga, UN and the PM. Mr. Indha Ade and Muse Sudi, both former warlords are spearheading this campaign. When you listen very closely, the frustration is far more deeper than the proposed constitution. They are saying the TFG created its own clan chiefs who will select the next parliamentarians. In private and in coffee shops, Sheik Sharif, the president is being accused of bypassing traditional clan chiefs. I asked one MP why they don't criticize the president in public and he said it may rub some of his tribesmen the wrong way. Apparently, Mahiga and Abdiwali are seen as outside invaders.
Indha Ade and his guys swore to create massive demonstrations and civil unrest in the coming days. In his own words, he said "hawiye is a very powerful tribe and cannot be subdued. I am willing to sacrifice everything to get freedom, etc, etc".
First Incident: The unhappy camp was supposed to hold a meeting @ Suhufi Hotel today but the government sent the army and disbanded them, saying next time you must get a prior approval for such meetings and demonstrations. Mr. Mahiga, the president and the PM all said anyone who tries to hijack the roadmap will be dealt with decisively. The ball is Mr. Indha Ade' Camp's court now.
Let's see who comes out victorious
Mahiga Camp VS Indha Ade Camp
