This guy is useless, he should be forced to step down, I honestly believe he is a cover man for Al Shabab, he gives them information materials and weapons secretly while pretending to be an enemy of them.
After all they were one and Somali people dont forget their old friends.
If at all any decency is left in him, he should at once and without any further delays resign from the seat of power.
As a person, he proved weak and incompetent and as a politician he is unskilled. He should look for another way of making a living. He is simply inept in this leadership post.
Even in best of times he would not qualify to lead a country let alone this difficult time that Somalia is going through.
The only way he can hold on to the power in Somalia is to immediately recognize Somaliland. We can be of some help if he does that.
Ilayn talo isumaa kaa sheegto.
