Mogadishu mayor to be ousted

Posted on

(Press TV) — Somali Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Abdi has said Mogadishu’s mayor will soon be ousted from his position due to his failed administration.

According to Press TV correspondent, two weeks of conflict between the Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hossein and Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb led to a decision to oust the mayor and determine a new administration for the Banaadir region, a resolution well received by the people, dissatisfied with the way the city was being run.

Only a week ago Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb, a warlord fast losing power, was disarmed by his supposed allies, the Ethiopian Woyanne forces, after failing to pay up the usual sum his administration regularly doled out to the Ethiopian Woyanne army.

  1. The people of Ethiopia have been dissatisfied for over 17 years the way their country is being governed, but they are unable to oust Meles and his political party from office; however, Meles can oust even the Mayor of Mogadishu with or without the knowledge of the Somali week government. No government officials could be fired from their offices in Somalia without Meles’ permission, so it might be Meles who is ousting Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeb from Mogadishu, not the weak Somali government.
