“Knowledge and wisdom are really the privilege of a faithful Muslim. If you have lost them, get them back even though you may have to get them from the apostates.”
“That knowledge which remains only on your tongue is very superficial. The intrinsic value of knowledge is that you act upon it.”
I am writing this article to express my opinion against the worst criminal self interest TFG Gov. Abdullahi Yusuf and Ghedi are genies among us or dumb and dumber. Somalia known as a Nation of Poets for years, but in 2007 the nation was kidnapped by dump and dumper. Lets, find out, but the their record tells us. Somalia has better leaders than dump and a dumper.
Abdullah Yusuf Ahmed and Ali Mohammed Ghedi are friends that have different background of education. The criminal self interest mob Abdullah Yusuf Ahmed was an army officer and I personally thank you for your hard work serving the Somalia national army. I tried my best to Google Abdullah Yusuf education background, but I could not find anything. On other side, Ghedi have Veterinary degree and was assistant lecturer at University of Mogadishu's Veterinary School. In this case, is hard for me to trust Ghedi to check on my animals. Both of them lack political leadership skills which never had post in leadership seat. Well it seems that, both of them came to power by force and cheating the voting system.
However, the TFG president was not vote by beloved people of Somalia and prime minster doesn’t represent any Somalia party. Let’s be real, we all know that Abdullah Yusuf paid money just to sleep in Somalia villa and as well get money from the GOV of Ethiopia to serve Ethiopia interest in Somalia which basically he is an agent working for Ethiopia or lobbying for Ethiopia in Somalia soil. “One who struggles for the cause of Allah secures victory over His enemies”. What was Abdullah Yusuf struggle? Was a Somalia national struggle or was self interest struggle to have president seat. Also, Abdullah Yusuf paid money to the famous warlords in Mogadishu to give him clear pass to become president. Therefore, at end those warlords opposed him due of bring Ethiopia to Somalia. On of the Abdullah Yusuf famous mistake to declare a three-month state of emergency law in Somalia which the parliament don’t have power and the only president have power in the state emergency, but the criminal gave order to Somalia's transitional parliament to sack speaker parliament. Well, that’s a prove that a dump Abdullah Yusuf doesn’t understand what state emergency law means. Even Ghedi had history on spying on his fellow students at University of Mogadishu during the Barre regime. Some of those students end up being arrested and tortured. Keep in your mind, both had different view on Barre regime. Abdullah Yusuf opposed the regime of Barre and Ghedi worked for the Barre regime. In 2007, it’s hard to believe they have same vision to bring peace in Somalia.
Both of them want to be leaders of Somalia and represent the people of Somali. Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others. Their values are not based on Islamic values because both of them cheating in past and brought hardship to people in Somalia which their forces killing innocent citizens in the capital of Somalia. “To keep silent when you can say something wise and useful is as bad as keeping on propagating foolish and unwise thoughts.” Somalia people needs to come out and reject criminal self interest leaders because Somali voice and concern will bring hope, peace, and justice. The UIC did a good job to wipe warlords from Mogadishu by force which latter the UIC brought peace and stability. UIC will be better if they reject Salafism and Wahhabism ideology in their agenda since most Somalia are Sufi and belong to the Shafi'i Madhhab. This time Somalia people need to come out and protest. “This world is not a permanent place; it is a passage, a road on which you are passing. There are two kinds of people here: One is the kind of those who have sold their souls for eternal damnation, the other is of those who have purchased their souls and freed them from damnation”. This quote will help the people of Somalia. From here I am calling for the people of Somalia to reject clan political and welcome Consultation and dialogue in Somalia. Also, reject dump leaders like those leaders that Somalia had the past 17 years because Somalia wasted an opportunity which resulted in grief and sorrow. I want to see Somalia to build an institute with Centralized leadership a leadership that has an Islamic value.
In conclusion, Somalia still knows as the nation of nation of poets. I will say this to two most known dump and dumper in Somalia to learn from this quote from Imam Ali, “There is no greater wealth than wisdom, no greater poverty than ignorance; no greater heritage than culture and no greater support than consultation.” I do understand that the first dump don’t have any knowledge, but let pray for him to seek some knowledge. The other dumper, have some knowledge which being lost because believed in value of the wealth rather the value of knowledge and end being corrupted person. Well most Somalia’s knows the values of dump and dumper, but we still let them take t them to our political scene. So, far the dumper left scene and the dump should leave to, but his day are coming to end because death is waiting for him. The people of Somali should not be silent anymore and should come together with strong voice to bring peace to nation of blue sea.
The strong voice is a Somalia unity under “Soomaaliyey toosa” Islam. Islam is the solution of Somalia conflict. However, every Somalia need to join light of Somalia because the boat will bring a revolution change in Somalia mind, Consultation and dialogue among Somalia. To get in boat first you need to have Islamic values and you need to be an originated Somalia nationalist who reject clanism and reject clash with ignorance. We should not open chapters of revenge, but we should open a chapter of unity, consultation and dialogue. Dump and dumper should apologize to Somalia nation.
Appreciate a young man opinion.
