The year is 2009. abdullahi yusuf was chased out. Islamic courts headed by sheikh shariif and the transitional federal government now are poised for talks in which islamic courts/al shabab would be part of the government and would cease fighting the government. hence a deal was struck.
somalis in arta agreed on a 4.5 power-sharing with a total of 275 MPs. However in 2009 shariif was given an extra 275 mps and the lower House now ballooned to 550 mps.
Of which 275 where personally picked by shariif. And the other 275 by clan elders. If we are talking about a stolen election, 2009 is the biggest theft in somali history. The person that came 2nd was maslax siyad barre who had over 200 votes. Without the fake 275 mps sharif would have lost that election. In 2012 election the mps where reduced to 275 and all the mps where picked by clan elders and shariif no longer had the advantage and lost to a unknown hassan sheikh.
Shariif never won and cannot win. He is not popular and he has no clue whatsoever on how to campaign. The only way sharif can win is if he gets another 275 mps he handpicked himself.
