PM Roble: Once praised by Somali opposition, now blamed for their woes

By Abdulkadir Khalif; The East African

Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Hussein Roble, once considered a fair leader by the opposition, is now on the receiving end of the wrath of opposition and other political leaders.

Tables turned

Recently reelected Senator Muse Sudi Yalahow has accused Roble of having a ‘change in heart’ about pursuing a free and fair election.

Talking on Kulmiye Radio, an independent broadcaster in the capital Mogadishu, Yalahow cast doubt on Roble’s sincerity in diligently conducting the electoral process.

“Ever since the Prime Minister made the most recent visit abroad, he has become a changed man,” said Yalahow in a reference to Roble’s trip to Qatar.

The PM visited Qatar in what was officially stated as a trip aimed at improving the relations between Somalia and the Gulf State, with some leaders suggesting that the trip included a fundraising drive for the elections in the Horn of Africa country.
