Mogadishu is in a world of trouble and the people of this city have no way of freeing themselves from the prevailing corporate greed of snatching all public wealth and properties with the assistance and facilitation of political opportunists, whose sole purpose in life is to enrich themselves at expenses of Somalia’s national sovereignty. Don’t they know that corruption, nepotism, and further weakening and disabling of fragile public institutions will surely lead to the collapse of the Somali state once again? Surely, unchecked arms trafficking, money laundering and looting of public funds will eventually lead to social explosion and violence unprecedented in the troubled Somali history. When that happens, it will be worse than the infamous 400-Day Mogadishu Battle in the 1990s.
WDM EDITORIAL: MOGADISHU DRAGS SOMALIA INTO A DESPAIR, DISINTEGRATION AND AT THE MERCY OF CORPORATE GREED AND POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM

Meanwhile, one wonders why the international donor community, financial institutions in particular, is silent about these huge money laundering schemes on real estate in Mogadishu, where, as reported, even the buildings of the Ministry of foreign Affairs and the Central Bank of Somalia are up for sale! Are they complicit in President Hassan Sh. Mohamud’s power abuses and outright looting of Somali public wealth/taxation revenue and international financial aid in its many forms and instruments, including covert financial channels from the Gulf Monarchs among others, to Somalia? Are they in connivance with the unprecedented money laundering campaigns in the Somali Capital?
We need some answers from the world community, Somalia international partners, World Bank, and the IMF. They know full well that there is neither real parliament nor cabinet with any powers. They also know full well that a judiciary that can reign in President Mohamud’s runaway greed, corruption, and gross abuse of power is nonexistent.
As corruption and gross power abuse reign over Villa Somalia, the rest of the country will drift away further from Mogadishu mayhem, ruling out any attempt to reunify the country. Clan conflicts will rage and spread like wildfire. This is already happening in many enclaves of the country. It is expected the worst is yet to come. Extremists will fill in the political vacuum, and Taliban-type takeover will occur, first in Mogadishu and throughout the South-Central Somalia. Given the political and security situation in the country, it is only a question of time, and possibly soon.

The consequences of extremist takeover of the country will be long-distance bombing of Somalia by Western powers and even Israel, followed by invasion of foreign powers. Why Israel? Because of Houthi fighters trying to gain foothold in the ISIS-held mountains of Eastern Puntland State over-looking the Red Sea.
As the invasion of Somalia begins, have no doubt about it, Turkey, Ethiopia, Qatar, and the UAE will side with the West, Washington will turn AUSSOM into an occupying force, and Xalane at Mogadishu Airport will transform into Baghdad-style Green Zone. Just like Syria, the system is already set and designed for invasion, and Al-Ashabab is just playing the useful idiot role for the West. Just as Al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, was overnight rebranded into a moderate jihadists group by the West, al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia, will too be rebranded. Given this sad saga, this then raises some series questions about what the President knows and why he is lately behaving in such a strange way.
PUBLIC CALLS FOR PRESIDENT HASSAN SHEIKH TO RESIGN GROWING
With dwindling political fortunes aboard and no political capital whatsoever at home, will Pres @HassanSMohamud heed the advice of the Somali public and resign or wait for the coming collapse?https://t.co/kKlXsC6f53

All these fatal scenarios will occur due to the treasonous crimes committed daily by our national leaders, political opportunists and selfish politicians at all levels of the Somali government and corporate greed, mainly in Mogadishu.
The survival of the nation and the Somali people is at stake. The stakes are too high to remain silent about the plight of our troubled nation. It is time to act and change course.
