There are three kinds of people who get messages either visually, abstructively or by feeling. It seems to me that Mr.Farmajo understands stuff visually – he obviously neither understands communication through reason nor by feeling when others get hurt by his illegal actions and unilateral decision-making methods with regards to complex issues of national importance. In his approach to governance, he had done irreversible damages to Somalia’s national interests, and could do more, if he isn’t restrained and contained immediately. This task is not easy, if not impossible, to be handled by existing legal and traditional systems in Somalia. The traditional system of 4.5 clan power-sharing mechanism isn’t designed for conflict resolution of this nature. Balance of power between the executive, legislative and judiciary doesn’t exist in Farmajo’s world or in any other Somali rule in any part of the country. They are all tin-pot dictators.
Farmajo is different from others in the sense he had grabbed illegally total power from all branches of the national government. He is now Somalia’s Head of State and Head of government at the same time with no constitutional basis whatsoever. By the constitution, he was the Head of State, not Head of Government, until February 8, 2021.
In a move to seize total power, he had deposed the Head of government, Hassan Ali Khayre, where he started the process of security/military/legislative coup d’etat against the people of Somalia, their fledgling Federal institutions and Federal Member States. That illegal power grabbing process is now almost complete, with some works left to be done on Puntland and Jubaland still pending.
The so-called international community and Somali International Partners have been voicing concerns about abnormal developments and political shenanigans in Somalia, while appeasing the tin-pot dictator, Farmajo, in the hope that he may eventually heed to their empty rhetoric and change his ways. In vain, the IC and IP are now sucking up the embarrassment they so deservedly earned from their pathetic lack of action. It is now time for action, impose sanctions and chase out another warlord in town.
