Somalia Government Under Pressure to Surrender

Nairobi (May 17) – The speaker of the Somalia’s weaker government, Sheikh Aden Nur “Madobe” has today resigned from the position of  speaker of the parliament. There was a long-term dispute between the house members as they have at last pressured the speaker to resign in front of the president.

The speaker of the Somali parliament has spoken with reporters at the state house in Mogadishu and, announced his resignations in a laud voice saying he has resigned and will work with any other body who will intend to employ him.

Reports say that the speaker’s resignation pressured by the president while other members of the parliament have also been trading accusations with the speaker in the last few days.

The president of Somalia, Sheikh Shariff Shiekh Ahmed, talked to the reporters this morning stated that the prime minister’s government had failed and premier Mr. Abdrashid Ali Sharmarke will go down very soon as the president vowed he would appoint a new prime minister with a minor cabinet.

Somalia’s government has been a very weak government since its establishment in Kenya. It has until now served 6 out of 16 districts in Mogadishu. It has never been able to capture the other 10 districts from the Islamist fundamentalists. The vulnerable government has been facing several other problems since it was rooted from the capital city. Unfortunately, the members have not received hospitality and support from the residents.

The fanatic organizations in the country have pledged that the UN sponsored government will not succeed in their bid to cover unacceptable secular administration in the country. The two main groups “Al-ShabaabAl-Mujaahediin” and “Hizb-El-Islam” have been opposing the government as the capital city remained under their control except 6 districts resided and heavily guarded by a foreign armies.

Today was a big day of change for Somalia’s parliamentary and prime ministerial positions. This will help the government to overcome the Islamic rebels upon changes as Islamists are afraid a bitter leadership who will conquer that will teach them a tougher lessons.

No one knows the aftermath of Somalia because the international community has destroyed the joint Islamic system (ICU) as the established government and have not yet taken major steps to safeguard its citizens from the terrorist linked and post-war “Al-Shabaab Al-Mujaahedin” that control most of the largest provinces in Somalia.

Al-Shabaab and other joint movements have been advancing in the fighting to control much of the territory whereas the foreign forces are unable to prevent Al-Shabaab from capturing popular regions. Al-Shabaab is recognized by the US and UN as a growing terror organisation with direct links to Al-Qaeda. Al-Shabaab, now controls much of Somalia and banned international organizations from entering.

However, Somalia’s weaker government has been overwhelmed by the heavy duties that its citizens await from her. Changes of government ministers have been the only solution the president could have for the government, over the time.

Haji Shukri Sheikh Ahmed is now acting speaker for the parliament the elected is now the oldest elder in the parliament.

Other sources state that the parliamentarians have been shocked by  heavy mortar attacks today during a hidden session. Situation was tense and as well, there were civilian casualties in the area. Al-Shabaab hardliners state the dispute between the central government authority will be a start for “a massive destruction upon Somali government.”
