5 days more and counting. Somalia is on the brink of a
change. At least that’s what we all hope. I am writing this report with a great
enthusiasm. The atmosphere in Somalia is buzzing. Cars with their presidential nominee
and large trucks full of people chanting another candidates name and waving his
pictures. It seems as if we Somalis are ready for change and stability, ready
for this anticipated election. One only has to see for him/herself to feel the
excitement running through Mogadishu.
21 years of anarchy and struggle looks to be wiped of the
map. At this precious moment, we are witnessing history to actually see for
once, euphoria of political interest throughout the country. From young to old,
rich or poor, all hoping to see this election go through. We have seen enough
to let this opportunity go to waste.
After a recent pool we conducted at MogaTribune, the race is
tight and with no clear leader. President Sharif, his prime minister Abdiweli
Gass , the house of speaker, Sharif Staakin, the arrival of former prime
minister Mohamed “Farmaajo” and khalif AbdulKadir Moalin Nuur of the Alhu
Sunnah wal Jamayca party to name just a few who are in this race.
We, the Somali public could not really care less about the
winners tribe or background, just that he is fair, just and a god-fearing
leader. Somalia has to get rid of this Tribalism and clan mentality of we want
to progress to a society which is advanced, fair and just. We have seen so many
promises in this great crisis we are going through. In one of my other reports
title The battle has Begun, I listed some detailed criteria that our
president elect must fit into. They include:
·
A god Fearing President
·
Peace Loving Leader
·
Trust Worthy
·
Neutral President
·
Honest
·
Imaginative
·
Positive mindset leader
·
Role – Model
·
Good Listener
With this personality and specification, we are bound to see
the great anticipated revival of Mother Somalia.
Inshallah I will be posting up a report on the eve of the
Election.
We at MogaTribune would also like to wish
every member in the Somali and Muslim community and their families a blessing
and joyous EID MUBARAK.
Mohamed Hassan (Dj)
