Given the dysfunction, disarray of FGS, and infiltration of Alshabab into the rank-and-file of security apparatus and all public institutions of the fledgling government of Somalia, it looks that there will be a take-over of Mogadishu by another phase of UIC. This time, it could be a bit more complicated for them as there are foreign troops in the name of ATMIS and other security industries of Blackwater type. But one thing is certain: FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF SOMALA has been compromised and can’t be expected to operate and meet the security and governance challenges of the day.

Already, Alshabab is becoming bold enough to cut off movement of people and goods to certain regions, Bay and Bakool as recent example, attacking government and ATMIS military bases anywhere in South-Central Somalia and continue to extort and blackmail defenseless population there by establishing a parallel government with its own kangaroo courts.

One may ask as hindsight where was President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud during the rise of UIC and Alshabab in Southern Somalia then? An advisor to the leaders of UIC in Mogadishu?
Have your say.
