IGAD Seizes to Support Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, Agrees Sanctions On The Warlord

Abdullahi Yusuf is feeling pressure from his supporting allies, the sort of pressure that is overdue.

Somalia's President Abdullahi Yusuf Abdullahi Yusuf, the sitting Somali TFG President is in hot water feeling pressure from all sides of his support including neighbor countries suchas Kenya, EThiopia as well as IGAD.  Ministers of the Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) have agreed to impose sanctions against Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf.  Abdullahi Yusuf, charged with ordering his clan's gunmen to illegally arrest some legal authorities of the TFG government including the Chairman of the Supreme Court Yusuf Ali Haruun, illegally armed his clan with weapons belonging to the country's transitional government and replaced premier Nur Hassan Hussein with his appointee Mohamud Mohamed Guled, reportedly violating the constitution is now under scrutiny by the same allied bodies who first put him on charge of his Tigres backed government.  IGAD, the group of governments acting as the regional body overlooking the Somali peace process, technically the group assisting Ethiopia's occupation and American geopolitical influence, are finally giving up on Mr. Yusuf.  IGAD condemns the warlord's actions in calling the firing of the current Prime Minister and assigning a new one that he can control. IGAD announced their decision that they agree with the Kenyan government for imposing sanctions on Abdullahi Yusuf as earlier this week, Kenya said it could impose a travel ban and asset freeze on the Somali president and his family.   As well as IGAD, US and the African Union condemn Mr. Yusuf's firing of the Prime Minister and they do not recognize the new appointed Prime minister.
