Dear Faysal you cannot fool Jamaal and all the people all the time
by Mohamed Omar
Faysal Cali Warabe,the colourful leader of UCID have been long known
for his constant flip flop ping and shady deal making. Among other
things, he once said that foreign passport holders should not run in
Somaliland presidential elections and that for that purpose he
cancelled his Finnish citizenship. Plain lies. He then said that if
he loses the 2010 election, we would not run again and that we would
forfeit UCID leadership. Plain lies as Cirro and co could not snatch
the chairmanship for him as was agreed upon.
Witnessing his party demise and Waddani enjoying a healthy momentum,
Faysal Cali Warabe to ok about another trick to keep his presidential
hopes afloat. He courted aggressively Muj Hass an Ciise Jaamac and
offered him to be UCID interim chairman until a party convention is
called in late 2012. The plot was clear, Faysal hoped that enticing
the former Somaliland vice preside nt would help UCID keep his party
status and that his UCID cronies would help steer the conve ntion his
way. But unfortunately for Faysal, Muj Xasan Ciise was too smart
this petty manoeuvring.
Incapable on facing the electorate on his own,
Faysal tried his old
trick on Jamaal who seemin
gly fell into the trap. It was widely
understood that following the late July deal between UCID and
Jamaal, Faysal had effectively forfeited his party candidacy for the
next round presidential election. However, this common assumption
was shattered by a bone chilling Faysal interview with Geeska Afrika
where the UCID leader stated that his party did not nominate anybody
for the next presidential election.
It is now clear that Faysal is
taking Jamaal for a ride. That he is using his finances. That he is
using Jamaal appeal with the youth. That he is using Jamaal effec tiveness on the campaign trail. That he is using Jamaal clan
and family base UCID fund raising drive. It is now clear that Faysal
intends to convene a convention if UCID retains its party status and
then run against Jamaal for a third crack at the presidential poll
