Ambassador Mahiga and the fictitous Ahlu-Shek group of President Sherif.

Today I would like to comment on an interview by Mr. Mahiga U.N Special Envoy for Somalia.The interview was on Sunday ( March 04 2012) at the Somali service of the BBC..In that now infamous interview Mr. Mahiga  says” that the group of the Ahlu-Scek controls the presidency and are blocking any effort to have real process”First let me explain that the Amb. Mahiga is not an impartial broker in the Somali politics but he is associated and linked  with the the President,the speaker and the "Gang of Six " which are the signatories of the Garowe Principles I & II. Somalia is in a transition  from the regime of Mbaghabati .Nairobi of 2004( when the transitional government mandate started) and the new groupings from the Djibouti accord added to it in 2009 to a new process that will take this government  mandate expire in August 2012. More to that lately the international community.Turkey and the Arab community  have shown more interest in Somalia than the "business as usual "approach which Ethiopia and IGAD were the only regional powers running the show of "installing puppet leaders" as ruling elites. Plus the recent conference in London of 23 February which have really internationalized the Somali issues. Ambassador Mahiga is addressing all those groups and is indirectly  saying that in the government there are two groups: the group co opted in Nairobi of 2004 and the group of the Islamist which have been added to them in 2009 from the Djibouti accord of 2009..He is  also   addressing the international community and the Somali domestic audience by supplying with them a false "information" which is all part of the "deception plans" of Ethiopia and IGAD. Why Mahiga is lying and why there is this "deception plan"? To answer to this questions we have to go back into the history of Somalia.
From 2006 till 2009  Somalia was under military  occupation from Ethiopia which was fighting the Union of the Islamic courts, an Islamist political and military movement which compromised of JIhadist and moderate and  took over almost all of South Somalia.The Islamist where defeated and the moderate within them has been made part of the next government thanks to what we call the Djibouti Accord of 2009.This president Sharif and his group which were part of the  Union of Islamic Courts joined the government. Unfortunately the main group of the moderate  Islamist only  person remaining in the government is the President Sharif. All the the prominent personalities which were Ministers have been sacked and made redundant after one year of the Djibouti accord. The main ideological agenda to have representatives of the Islamist who abhor  terror in government and in the political conversation has been abolished  and vanished after almost one year.The two more prominent figures after the President Mr. Caddow a distinguished scholar and Islamist was assassinated while he was Minister in Mogadishu and the other Minister for internal security  ,a  nationalist but allied to those groups was also assassinated in Beled-weine cental region Of Hiiraan.This two Ministers were killed by Al-Shabaab but you wonder how the most important figures in government could be so easily killed  while their government is watching.My humble opinion is the Intelligence services of Ethiopia and the Warlord-drug-barons and the All-ittixad business Cartels are all involved.
Coming back to Mahiga interview the main aim is to tell the whole world and Somalis that the Islamist are in power and there is not any need to have further reconciliation with Islamist who accept Rule of Law, participatory democracy and are against terror.There is not also the need to have "a conversation" with the Islamist groups in the Somali society.Why Mahiga is taking this line of action? What interests he is defending?
Ambassador Mahiga like any other person which is not Somali will note care about Somalis if the "puppet ruling elites " do not care about their country.Secondly there is not any check and balance in the Media or so-called Civil Society which have all been co-opted De-facto in the regime or paid huge sums of money.The few Journalist who dared to came against this "rapacious-criminal puppet Elites" allied with Ethiopia have been killed  in broad daylight in Mogadishu.Just for the last two months two journalist have been killed.
What is at play is a convergence of interests and  alliance  between the Ethiopians ,IGAD and the Somali Warlords-Drug-barons,puppet parliamentarians and those who control at least 70% of the Somali Economy the ALL-Ittixad business Cartels.This alliance between foreign powers and Somali corrupt political-economical  Elites would like to have one of the "Gang of Six" which is made of the President, Speaker,Prime Minister,and the Chieftains of Punt land,Galmudug and Ahlu-Sunna Waljameeca of Cabuud-Waak and Guriceel districts.
There  is not any group called Ahlu-Shek in government and the name has been borrowed by an Islamist  group which used to exist in the 70" and was Lead by the famous Shek Mohamed Moallin and after his dead the group dissolved.
I would like to conclude that the Somali tragedy is exacerbated by the regional powers which are all trying  to control Somalia for political hegemony and the Huge quantities of Oil and gas which are on-shore and off-shore .Wait and see..
