"Why Al-Shabaab have tried to Kill the Prime minister of Somalia"

• First I would like to send my deepest condolences to the families of Aden Haji Yabarow and Sacid Mugambo which have been assassinated by Al-Shabaab yesterday at the Somali Theater.The real target of the Al-Shabaab was the Prime Minister and his cabinet.Unfortunately for them they failed to reach the target..Like the assassination of the late Minister Mr.Caddow and his colleagues at Shamo hotel in 2009 by Al-shabaab the agenda was to Kill those who are fighting for change in Somalia.The motive of the attempted assassination was to eliminate the MP which like his former colleagues was trying his best to have Rule of Law and working government.The real actors in Somali politics the Al-ittixad Business Cartels and the Warlords/Drug barons do not like any change and the purported candidature of the Prime Minister to be the next President come August 2012.The New York times and the Est African have both written that the Harvard-educated economist Mr.Abdiwali Ali Gaas would be the next president.If you are not a person which is 100% Loyal to this groups you cannot be the next  President of Somalia .I believe the things have hotted up a lot when it comes to the "Political game" in Mogadishu.The London Conference and the appointment of an ambassador in Mogadishu has made cards to be rearranged by the Al-ittixad business Cartels and their allies the warlords-Drug-Barons which are the representative of the Meles regime.There have been a pact for a very long time between the Al-Ittixad business cartels/Warlords/drug-barons and the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia in which the West has been duped to believe things will be better in Somalia.Wait and see.

  The All-ittixad business cartels( the former financiers of the Islamic Courts and business individuals organized as Cartels) have loose links with Al-Shabaab with whom they share the Wahabi salafist ideology. The Somali government Establishment is controlled by this two groups and the Tigre Regime of Ethiopia..The Tigre regime of Meles would never like to have or neither accept a working ,stable ,independent minded government which pursues the national interest of the Somali nation, which is not "perpetually failed "in Somalia.. All-Ittixad Business Cartels and warlords-Drug-barons agree on that same Agenda.Wat and see.

Why the ICC is not investigating crimes against humanity by Warlords,Al-Shabaab and Ethiopian Army?

In the year of 1993 the Somali Jurist association in a letter given to UNITAF( the international forces) and the United Nations which were running the country under a U.N Security Resolution asked for Accountability for the Human Rights abuses and war crimes committed during the Civil war by the Warlords and organized groups including the Siad Barre regime which collapsed 1991.It was discussed at the first Humanitarian conference organized by the U.N made in Addis-Abeba that same year but unfortunately the Somali groups/Warlords which were controlling spates of territory sub-divided in Sub-Clans refused any accountability for the crimes committed  during the 1991-93 period. I believe this warlords which were supported by Ethiopia mostly did not wont any real peace and reconciliation at that time nor they wont it now. A lot of water has passed under the bridge and the crimes have multiplied ten times and we are at a point that everybody believes that the" Norm  is impunity" if you are an officer  in the so-called TFG or so-called regional states. The Ethiopians and IGAD have adopted the same culture of killing Somalis as they were Colonial forces trying to subjugate the people-citizens. I am writing about this groups because they are signatories of international covenants on human rights and the officers of Somali government are under also international Laws concerning the rights of Somali-citizens even when the State is Failed like in Somalia. Still armed militia representing different groups who says are representing Authorities are killing people-citizens and for the last four months five journalist have been killed in Somalia including the region of Punt land.There is also the Al-Shabaab which is committing heinous crimes all the time against children and women like everybody and it also committing crimes of war,act of terrorism.But the main problem is that from 2004 the Meles regime and IGAD have sanctioned for Somalia a political architecture were the Warlords-Drug-Barons are the ultimate powers in Somali State  affairs.Be it in  the so-called state regions and the TFG.During the Ethiopian occupation of Somalia of the 2006-2009 the ethiopian army have killed 17.000 Somali as has been reported by Human rights watch and Amensty international.Maybe lets say 10.000 thousands( I am giving the benefit of the doubt to the ethiopians) were enemy combatants of Al-Shabaab but what about the rest which is more than 7.000 thousans civilians? why they have to be killed in in- discriminatory way?    Why the U.N and all international Human rights organization have not done anything about Somalia all this years? What kind of hidden agenda is at work? the United Nations security Council must pass a mandate in which all crimes against humanity ,all rapes aganist women ,recruiting of children in militias, the indiscriminate killin of civilians by Warlords and all Shabaab must be investigated and prosecuted by ICC.If we don't have justice and the perpetrators of all that injustices/crimes  are the "puppet leaders" installed by Ethiopia and IGAD for the Somali Republic how we can  have Rule of law and a funtioning federal  State? The London Conference as "usual" has accepted and sanctioned the warlords/Drug-barons,'puppet parliamentarians" installed by Ethiopia to also run the next government of Somalia after the 2012 August mandate.Wait and see.

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..
