BREAKING

According to informed and independent news sources in Nairobi, Somali-Kenyan politicians and Ogaden elders in Kenya have advised prime minister Hamse Abdi Barre to resign immediately due to his ineffectiveness in Somalia’s real body-politic, and even reality on the ground in his own country.

The Somali Prime Minister Barre is currently in Nairobi, Kenya, on a private visit.

WHY PRESIDENT HASSAN SHEIKH MOHAMUD OF SOMALIA IS THE MAN HE IS. FOR HIM NO FEDERAL OR STATE CONSTITUTION EXISTS ANYMORE AS HE DECLARES WAR ON MEMBER STATE

First, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud believes that public office is the vehicle for personal enrichment to escape his family and youth poverty – once in a lifetime opportunity to seize. There is no argument about his insatiable greed and corruption for the collection of wealth.

Second, he believes that he comes to power through and by clan ticket. He thinks he could do it again by fooling and persuading his tribal base one more time.

These two factors alone have blinded him off the historic role he could play to be the president of all Somalis – a reality he will never be able to change. Redemption of the man is out of question. No wishful thinking about him.

Given what has become of him over the years, and the fact that Somali people have now discovered his true nature, unfortunately too late, he understands that he will not get re-elected by the free will of  his own people, and  that is why he is trying to tamper with the Federal Constitution to incite clan wars and violence again in order to divide citizens along clan lines, a method deceptively employed by defunct United Somali Congress (USC), and its related tribal groupings: Hawiye Action Group (HAG), Somali Concern, and United Somali Alliance. Damul Jadid, his political/religious mentor, is mainly clannish, too. And that is why, on top of all, he had installed a token prime minister from Darood constituency, Hamse Abdi Barre, to unconstitutionally grab all powers of the three branches of the government. For Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, there is no constitution now as he has declared war against a president of a Federal Member State (Jubaland State). It is over!

Hamse Abdi Barre and Sheikh Adan Madoobe, the Speaker of the rubber-stamped Federal House and possibly the most corrupt human life on earth, together with a senile Abdi Hashi,  Speaker of the Senate, act as Mohamud’s lapdogs/sidekick.

So, the man is pre-made politically and culturally unredeemable in any shape or form. You will get what you see (YWGWYS).

US SECURITY CONCERNS OVER SOMALIA’S INSTABILITY

DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENT

Summary:

Purpose of the Report

The report evaluates the Somali Federal Government’s military interference in Jubaland and its impact on counterterrorism operations against Al-Shabaab and the Islamic State in Somalia (ISS). It responds to a U.S. Congressional tasking.

Key Findings

  1. Misuse of U.S. Resources:

U.S.-trained Danab Special Forces and U.S.-supplied arms have been redirected to clan-driven campaigns, undermining counterterrorism goals.

These actions create operational gaps exploited by Al-Shabaab.

  1. Regional Instability:

Puntland and Ethiopia are mobilizing forces in response, risking a broader regional conflict.

  1. Federal Disunity:

Clan-driven policies deepen Somalia’s internal divisions, threatening federal cohesion and governance.

  1. Congressional Scrutiny:

Bipartisan dissatisfaction may lead to suspending U.S. aid until Somali leadership realigns with counterterrorism objectives.

  1. Empowerment of Al-Shabaab:

Operational gaps have allowed Al-Shabaab to reclaim territory and increase recruitment.

Strategic Implications

Counterterrorism at Risk: Al-Shabaab exploits gaps, endangering U.S. operations.

Heightened Conflict Risk: Regional tensions, especially Ethiopia’s involvement, could escalate conflicts.

Reduced U.S. Leverage: Aid suspension may weaken U.S. influence in Somalia and the region.

Recommendations

  1. Diplomatic Engagement:

Pressure Somali leadership and allies like Egypt to prioritize counterterrorism over clan agendas.

Collaborate with Ethiopia and the African Union to stabilize the region.

  1. Oversight and Accountability:

Audit U.S. military aid and enforce stricter compliance measures.

Require regular reporting on resource use.

  1. Realign Counterterrorism Strategy:

Increase intelligence and surveillance efforts.

Support regional partners over federal entities for counterterrorism.

Origin
