Why in Somalia there is two different command centres of East African Armies?

I would like to give not only an opinion but facts about the "ongoing Somali conflict" and Why Kenya is wrong on this one. First of All as Kenyan Ministers said "Somali government was re-established in Maghabaati,Kenya in 2003-2004" but the fact is the Kenyan government at  that  time where neutral and the Ethiopian government was running the Show with “Warlords-Drug-barons" and Former President Abdullahi Yusuf. From let's say the 80" the different governments of Ethiopia had a plan to sub-divide the Somali Republic in Mini-Clan-Enclaves like Somali-Land , Punt land and Bay-Bakol land,Benadir land  and the latest Jubbaland( now called Azania) which General  Omar Haji and the Ethiopians could not agree in  establishing in  1996-1998. There are two questions now: why the Kenyan which has always supported the Unity and territorial Integrity of Somalia has changed its position and has joined the Ethiopian Idea that Somalia must be sub-divided in Mini-Clan enclaves run by clans which are fighting against each other as regional- States? What is the financial/economic motivation behind this new policy? And why Amisom which is fighting Al-Shabaab is finding itself isolated with the TFG when is  at its best in the War against Al-Shabaab? Why Ethiopia and Kenya are ganging up against Uganda and Burundi both in the East-African Union? All this are big question and I will start with the new creature called” Azania” the brain-child of Mr.Gandi which is the Old game of the Ethiopians with a new name. Mr. Gandi got finances from the French Oil company Total Inc. which he promised the rights of future Oil explorations in Jubbaland and Gedo and (4) four months ago he declared himself President in a Hotel in Nairobi. But now looks he convinced the Kenya establishment that a “satellite regional government” with him as a President will defend the security of Kenya and will cushion against the terror group Al-Shabaab. The only problems is why not pass through the TFG and Amisom and make a multilateral move? Why not use the good offices of the U.N and African Union? From the latest interviews on the BBC things are getting out of hand and it looks there is regional- geopolitical dispute which is getting dirty with Somali clan- connotation and affiliations.  Somalia needs real friends who are Fighting Al-Shabaab within the framework of African Union and United Nations  but most of All there is a already a contingent of An African Army sanctioned by the International community and I do not think we need two different command centers of African Armies. I believe The African Union and the U.N must intervene fast in this “war of words” before it got out of hand and the enemies of the Rule of Law in Somalia, democratic-federal - institutions come back to run the Somalia Agenda in East Africa. Wait and see.

Kenya must be wary of any Ethiopian endorsment.Why.?

The truth of the Story is the region does not back Kenya if we are talking about Igad and namely the Meles regime of Ethiopia . In public is a total support but privately Meles abhors any involvement by Kenya.The Ethiopians have controlled and directed the Somali politics from as early as the 80" through the " the so- called opposition movements" and later at Mgahabati,Nairobi in 2003-2004 they appointed a regime loyal to them while the Kenyans were watching in their home soil..Do you think the Ethiopians will relinquish so easily a regional hegemony? Do you think the Regime of Warlords and/parliamentarians all allied to the Ethiopians and al-Shabaab will give away power so easily? I do not think so.The Kenyans must work within the East African community/Amisom and start thinking about Nation- building and Institution building for Somalia and not only the Jubbaland or a buffer zone. Kenyans have the capacity and the resources to deploy if the use their historical closeness to Somalia and the vast business network from Somalia all based in Nairobi.More to that the civil/political muscle of Somali Diaspora also based in Nairobi.Another important issue is the war for" hearts and minds of the Somali people/citizens inside Somalia and the Kenyan local Somalis which have close business/community ties with the Somalis in Somalia.Last but not least is the "intricate web of clan/business and political "vested interests"which were all allied to Al-Shabaab which controls Somali economy and are mostly based in Kenya and Dubay. Wait and see.

The Somali Quagmire is going on from 1991 and after the failed intervention of the UN and the U.S of 1993-1994 the west have decided to leave the Somali issues to the Regional powers specially Ethiopia.This regional power first have not the capability of Nation-building of a new Somali state because their are part of the Problem.Secondly they have their own agenda to have Somalia divided in Clan- Enclaves regions,Warlords-drug barons running the Show and the Al-Shabaab controlling part of the Territory.Why? Simple.Mr.Meles needs a security treat to tell the Ethiopians and the world because if there is peace in Somalia will not Rule Ethiopia. Also he gets from Somalia the Finance to pay voters every time there is election in Ethiopia .But the worrisome thing is still the man controls the political process in Somalia and will never relinquish unless the Ethiopian people gets rid of him. The famine and the Drought can be solved when there is a viable,functional State in Somalia which is not" perpetual failed state" and Somalia is not a "a save haven for terror and Drug barons,organized crime" who all agree to have this Status Quo with the approval of Mr.Meles PM of Ethiopia. Wait and see.
