Ask yourself the question: Are Somalia’s political leaders at Federal and State levels experts in all subject matters under discussion in Mogadishu Talks? Obviously, the answer to this question is certainly Big No.
Then how come they are debating on complex subjects of state governance without any help from the subject matter advisors? Are we having here housewives in the neighborhood quarreling about trespassing? No one sees experts attached to any of these leaders. The answer to these questions lies in the fact as to why Somalia is a broken country, still being handled by arrogant and ignorant political amateurs, who only mess up things in ad hoc fashion. I think many of them have no idea of what we are talking about here. Do they think that foreign diplomats and UN representatives are there to help them navigate through these complex issues at current impasse? Do they really understand their human weaknesses in handling and tackling with issues that need critical analysis and deep knowledge of the subjects under discussion and development of necessary options for resolution and compromise, avoiding more harm to be done to the existing problems of impasse, gridlocks and political paralysis?

You would agree that this attitude of deliberations on personal whims is the core and most dangerous conditions that brought Somalia to where she finds itself in today, reducing it to a status where foreign diplomats of non-Muslim world are now urging Somali leaders at Mogadishu talks to reach at compromise resolutions of their problems before the beginning of Ramadan. Shame!
