Why Somalia needs change from Farmaajo’s and Khaire’s ruinous reign;

They were given power and trust and they showed — for five years ( Farmaajo) and three years (Khaire) — that they were not leaders but angry/showy small p politicians;

Somalia needs change;

1/7

Because of their lack of leadership Farmaajo & Khaire unleashed — unnecessarily — hyper-polarization among the Somali society & the political class. This has created 5 years of gridlock, hatred disorientation & stagnation;

Somalia needs change; they do not represent change;
2/7

Because of Farmaajo & Khaire’s MISPLACED priorities, Al Shabaab thrived & killed more civilians under their watch, AS extort money from almost every business in #Mogadishu & attack at will any place in the capital; last week they attacked parliamentarians inside Villa Somalia
3/7

Farmaajo & Khaire normalized impunity; under their reign of power abuse citizens including women were killed, some were made disappear, other renditioned to torturers & political assassinations were covered up under Farmaajo’s watch; suspects were rewarded!

Time for change;

4/7

Farmaajo & Khaire disregarded the constitution & intervened all institutions (parliament & judiciary included) to get rid off those who refused to do their bidding. Farmaajo stayed in office for a WHOLE year illegally!

Somalia needs a leader who believes in the constitution;
5/7

Farmaajo ruined the great relationship Somalia had with the world and developmental partners; even the U.SA. —?Somalia’s biggest donor has probably imposed travel ban on him; under his reign Somalia’s friends were reduced to 3 countries ;

6/7

Farmaajo did not build institutions; he changed army, NISA & police commanders 4 times If not 5 times.

He replaced his OWN chief of staff 7 times! That is not the strategy of institution builder;

Enough of Farmaajo’s anger & Khaire’s theatrics;

Somalia needs change
