Religious clerics reject reservation of 30% of seats in Somalia parliament for women

[arawelo 2.0]

Why should it be only 30%, if their qualified they should get as many seats they can get, furthermore it should be on merit. I am against any thing that's force on us by foreign nations,

that's definitely the best way to go about it. I wouldn't care if 100% of the seats go to educated, competent men. these so called 'sheiks' need to shut the hell up and take their Saudi ideologies to Saudi Arabia. we need to stop looking at these orange bearded monkies for intelligent ideas and actually look for qualified people to run our country.

yes the men are doing such a fantastic job already. we have the shittiest country in the world and we could not have done it without you. well done guys. keep out the women and carry on.

Show me one nation with similar problems such as Somalia that have women leading them? I have asked this question before. Somalia need a strong dictator and a dictatorship sort of like what china is doing

Although I don't like the idea of foreign countries dictating the makeup of our parliament when they don't have the same quotas in their own government, religious clerics will never have a say in our new Somalia bi idnillahi kariim

Al Shabaab has ensured that Somalia will never become a theocracy.

This is the most stupidest thing i have heard. Somalia is in this mess because of it had a corrupt dictatorial government.

That was 25 years ago, since past 8 years it was ran by sharif sheikh & HSM.

LMAO Somalia isn't in this situation because Sheikh Sharif or President Hassan. If you wanna discuss Somalia's problem then we unfortunately need to discuss the former regime.

If the former gov was the problem then why didnt peace and paradise appear when it was gone?

The problem somalia faces today started in 1969, when said barre dismantled state instituions in their infancy.

 

[RudeBoi]

Arguing with former regime supporters(I call them Daroodists) is like drawing water from a mirage....

They will never accept blame or responsibility.These people are enemies of all Somalis

Are you really asking that question? I've seen your pro regime posts. Like others have pointed out Somalias problems began with Barre.

Its valid question and another one is when will things happning in Somalia stop being blamed on person dead for 25 years? Its time take responsibility even if its easier to point fingers and live in a fantasy where everyone is blameless except Barre.

You had 25 years to fix the problems and it is more than enough. why could not the government for past 8 years get rid of al Shabaab (300)or pay the soldiers on time ?

 

[Canuck]

At least barre didn't sell our waters to Kenya

 

[BebsiBolice]

No Barre nor President Hassan did that, neither did he bring in KDF or ask the African Union to occupy or land...

I had 25 years to fix the problems? Didn't know that.

Barre and his followers left Somalia in this clan divided state that it's in. Barre and his followers are the root to all of our problems everything else is just a symptom of how the regime conduct itself. The less people wanna discuss what happened between the 1969-91 the less progress we will make.That's just a fact.

Seems to me like you guys are fixed on denying clan ethnic cleansing and an entire city begin leveled to the ground. All the resentment and distrust Somalis feels began with Barre. Wanna unite the country then go fix the problems that he created.

The thing is what happened between 1969-91 as bad as it was was much better than what came after it. The one denying that fact is you and you seem fixed on Barre. Clannism and clan misstrust existed before Barre and I would say thats the root cause or problem of Somalia. Barre tried to unite the country on national lines rather than clan lines but the end his goverment was influnced by clannish people around him and things went bad too worse after bad decision on the part of the Gov including Barre. As for ethnic cleansing and human suffering what happened after Barre was worse even here you cant take this highground but you are trying by crediting and blaming everything on Barre. Its not Barre fault that you cant make peace for 25 years nor his fault that the fabric of the country was completely destroyed even street lights being looted. And you avoided my questions so I ask again. When will things stop being blamed on a person dead for 25 years?

Seems these sheikhs have nothing better to do than pick on women.
