The conclusions in the African Union’s Peace and Security Council’s 22nd April Communique on the political and security situation in Somalia are decisive and welcome.

The European Union supports the rejection of any mandate extension and looks forward to a prompt return to negotiations, facilitated by an African Union envoy, to achieve consensus for elections, based on the agreement of 17 September 2020. The EU also welcomes the call for a Troop Contributing Countries (TCC) meeting to assess the security situation in Somalia.

The EU stands ready to cooperate closely with the AU envoy and, meanwhile, appeals for calm and the avoidance of any further action that might exacerbate tension.

With six minutes of warm applause, on the streets, balconies, windows, the whole Country applauded for 6 minutes – spectacular example of leadership and defense of humanity, chapeaux !

The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity. She did not utter nonsense. She did not appear in the alleys of Berlin to be photographed. She was dubbed “The Lady of the World” and who was described as the equivalent of six million men.

During these eighteen years of her leadership of the authority in her Country, no transgressions were recorded against her. She did not assign any of her relatives to a government post. She did not claim that she was the maker of glories. She did not get millions in payment, nor did anyone cheer her performance, she did not receive charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her.

Yesterday, Merkel left the party leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany and it’s German people are in the best condition ever.

The reaction of the Germans was unprecedented in the history of the Country. The entire population went out to their balconies of their houses and clapped for her spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes. A standing ovation nationwide.

Germany stood as one body bidding farewell to their leader, a chemical physicist who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from former East Germany.

She left her post after leaving Germany at the top. She left and her relatives did not claim advantage. Eighteen years and she never changed her wardrobe. God be upon this silent leader.

At a press conference, a female Journalist asked Merkel : We notice that you’re wearing the same suit, don’t you have any other? She replied: “I am a government employee and not a model“

At another press conference, they asked her : Do you have housemaids who clean your house, prepare your meals and so on? Her answer was: “No, I do not have servants and I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day.

Then another journalist asked : Who is washing the clothes, you or your husband? Her answer: “I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night, because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and the most important thing is to take into the account the possible inconvenience for the neighbours, thankfully the wall separating our apartment from the neighbours is thick. She said to them, “I expected you to ask me about the successes and failures in our work in the government??”

Mrs. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen. She lived in this apartment before being elected Chancellor of Germany. She did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools or gardens.

Merkel, the now former Chancellor of Germany, the largest economy in Europe !!

How would you answer to the question: What is the existential national security threat to Somalia and its people’s continued survival? Is it Al-Shabab, tribalism, ignorance, poverty, diseases, the neighbours of Kenya and Ethiopia, dictatorship or Farmajo? What do you think?

You will be surprised to find out that none of the above is the right answer. In my opinion, the biggest threat to Somalia’s continued existence as a nation-state is lack of discipline among its inhabitants. This affects them precariously in many ways: Relationships with one another, work ethics, rule of law and the constitution, organisations and national security. Somalia is a group of individuals, who have yet to learn the tools and trades of collective organisation with a common vision for survival. They have yet to watch out their faulty and red lines not to cross in order to be.

Is it easy to fix this quickly? We need expert advice on this. It seems to me, though, that changing the collective behaviour of a society would take many generations, concerted public efforts and mass education. The question is how long would you hold a nation safely together when it needs centuries to change the cultural behaviours of its people? Would the rest of world wait forever for your nation to get out of its cultural impediments?
Have your your say.

All doors are closing in on him now because of his unconstitutional behavior and unwillingness to compromise as a political tool for consensus building. His disregard for the rule of law couldn’t fly in the end. Paradoxically, all Somali political stakeholders were ready for him to find a common ground for their political differences – he stubbornly resisted sitting down with them to search for Somali-driven and Somali-owned solutions. It was unnecessary to travel all the way to Kinshasa to seek help against his own constituency.

While we welcome AU mediation efforts, it was uncalled for, and a Farmajo’s own making and self-inflicted political trap. It would be one of the political irony and strange behavior of Farmajo to record a leader running away from his people to seek political self-preservation elsewhere. He would be also the first, who had tried to stage security/military/constitutional coup d’etat in Somalia since Dictator Siyad Barre. The April 12, 2021 Lower House chamber of Parliament resolution to extend his mandate was a flagrant violation of the law of the land (constitution). So was his concerted efforts and policies to dismantle Federal Member States, as it is sinful to cling to the presidency while he has lost all legitimacy to be in Villa Somalia. Farmajo would be remembered as a man, who, after spending many years in-exile due to civil war in his country of origin, returned home to re-impose the tyranny that destroyed his native country in the first place.

Farmajo now has to choose one of the two options available to him:

1. Resign immediately
2. Help resolve the problems he has created for himself and country.
