Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf to be Disposed.
The Somali TFG President Abdullahi Yusuf recently met with the the Somali TFG Prime Minister Nur Hasan Husein (Nur Ade) in a secret meeting held at the AMISOM base. The two top head officials of the Somali Transitional Federal Government (thought to be a puppet for Ethiopian dictator Melez Zenawi) discussed their conflicting stand on political issues in Somalia and the meeting to decide who has the upper hand or final say on deciding the route the puppet government will take.
Recently there has been feuds over decisions made by both of the TFG's top leaders involving the removal of several government ministers from the posts, where former warlord Abdullahi Yusuf reacted negatively to the firing of the ex-Mogadishu Mayor Mohamed Dhere by the Prime Minister. Sources close to the Nur Ade say the decision to dispose of Mr. Dhere came from outside parties thought to be the U.S. and E.U intervention.
Despite the secret meeting being the first between the President and Prime Minister, no tangible result had come about, except that they disagreed on every mandate they discussed at the meeting. As a result, they now have more hate for each other than before the meeting.
Abdullahi Yusuf's position is weakened by the lack of support from his commander Melez Zenawi and the Ethiopian army Mr. Gabre who apparently told Mr. Yusuf to stand back and not get involved with the new face of Somali politics. Apparently, the new face involves reconciliation between the TFG and the Djibuti wing of ARS.
It seems the time for Mr. Yusuf to enjoy in Somali Villa is coming to an end. It a few months before elections (if they are held at all) are conducted and a new president is elected by the TFG. Will Mr. Yusuf continue as president or will he move back to Puntland where his the head of state?
