Impending Disastrous Dictatorship in Somalia Under Watch of Int’l. community
The current Somali government, whose mandate ended, came to power with the expectations of massive reforms in institutional and development settings. President Farmajo completed his term in office without paving the way for consensus-based elections; instead, he messed up the growing Somali institutions and the trust-building processes.
It has been over 30 years since Somalia descended into a full civil war which turned the country into a failed state. Of 70% of people in Somalia are under 30 and have never witnessed a properly functioning government institution, that keeps law and order with good governance structures. Prior to the civil war the country had gone through 21 years of dictatorship.
Cairo (keydmedia) - One chapter of brutal dictatorship is closed today. The Egyptian youth have illustrated that their commitment for change was not in vain. They demanded for a democratic system, away from the repressive autocracy of Husni Mubarak. And now that is just one step away from realizing it.
Ibrahim Iman - (Keydmedia) - The last night's State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama was mainly about U.S. domestic issues, including a bipartisan appeal for a divided house of representative, addressing deficit spending and a call for winning "the future" by focusing on ways to "out-innovate, out educate and outbuild the rest of the world."
The beleaguered Somali populations are sure about the perils of foreign intervention of Somalia and the discord among Somali politicians; a fact very common in the past two decades, which put the southern and central regions of Somalia losing hope of seeing Somalia reunited in lifetime.

House of the parliament doesn’t seem to be hosting honorable representatives after the lawmakers turned into two groups who don’t listen to themselves let alone other body else while they are supposed to pass or reject bills or give vote of confidence to the cabinet ministers.
By Prof. Mohamoud Iman Adan- Virginia, USA - The Mess After The Coupe D' 'EtatIt was a hot and humid late morning in April, the hottest month of the year, when the victorious Junta held an impromptu meeting in a makeshift bunker at the Villa Somalia, the temporary convention center of the Junta and former TFG regime headquarters, then residence of the president, as well as other top leaders for security reasons.
By Prof. Mohamoud Iman Adan- Virginia, USA - The Magnitude of Disagreement & DestructionThe peace Core came close to the battlefield, and from there they saw the smoke belching from burning technicals at distant spots in the city. At the far corner, one could see some heavy artilleries scuttling here and there around the tall walled villas built with fraudulent money from the former military government coffers by the Discord Well.
By Prof. Mohamoud Iman Adan- Virginia, USALack of Common DenominatorThe current political atmosphere in the Southern Regions of Somalia is blind and hardly offers any wiggling room for reconciliation.

By Prof. Mohamoud Iman AdanThe Route to EscapeThe first wave was led Mr. Dibjir and his lieutenants. They were scary and hasten to escape before rival factions may follow them and take revenge of past betrayals. They did not feel safe to relent their pace and disclose some information, and Da'ad and his team failed to persuade them and learn what was going in the conference grounds.
