One thing i will give credit to Sheikh Sharif is he did not have this culture of opposition politics against him in his term. His rivals were literally just the previous radical elements who saw him as a Murtad. No FMS existed except PL and he made great strides to get them on board. I'm not sure how he would cope today with all the new FMS, Madasha, IC etc. He would either become very lax in trying to work with everyone or he could go rogue but unlikely. HSM isn't doing either since he has privatisation on his mind keeping him busy. But Sharif would have more determination to get security under control no doubt.
HSM is reappropriating the land for his inner circle of businessmen, whose wealth and support he is banking on for future elections. Personally i support HSM's land evictions. The land was originally Hawiye Goof. All he is doing is removing the opportunity of future Governments (or a future hardline Darod let's say) to evict these IDPs to place his or her own clansmen and even recieve justification as reversing the damages of 1991. Siad Barre nationalised much of it to use as patronage, his daughter even owned 20% of the land of Afgooye at one point. Let the Hawiye businessmen profiteer intuu geed xun oo Daarood ah dhulka nagu qabsado once again. Unless most of the country is nationalised, Xamar will not accept a government claiming public land while no port or airport outside the capital pays taxes to it.
