The criminal enterprise calling itself the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia has moved its farcical and illegitimate theatrical show from the underground bunkers in Baidoa to a different overground bunker, Villa Somalia, in Mogadishu.

This change in location of the TFG leadership from a bunker in the dusty shacks of Baidoa to the more glamorous and better looking mansion of villa Somalia in Mogadishu may be a good propaganda coup designed to mislead and impress ill-informed world reporters, but the change in location of the TFG bunker from Baidoa to Mogadishu does not fool the Somali public, nor does this change in locale effectually change the political and demographic landscape of the Somali society in any significant fashion.

The TFG leadership still relies for their safety and protection on the good will of our arch enemy, the Ethiopian forces. The TFG executive branch and parliament are still scared of the Somali people.

Whether they are in Baidoa or in Mogadishu, the TFG remains an illegitimate and a cruel foreign imposition against the will of the Somali public.

The TFG is still regarded by an overwhelming majority of the Somali public as an illegitimate criminal gang committed to re-imposing despotism and tyranny on the freedom loving Somali people.

The TFG government and its members are no different than the illegitimate and cruel Siyad Barre regime that instigated the current chaos in Somalia. The only difference between the current TFG leadership and the hated Siyad Barre regime is that the TFG is weaker, less militarily equipped, less organized, less resourced, and more hated by the Somali public than the Siyad Barre regime that caused the current revolt and civil war in Somalia. These unpopularity and deficiencies are the only reason why the current TFG asks for foreign protection from the people it claims to represent.

Siyad Barre’s totalitarian regime had the benefit of recognition by the United Nations and by the world community. Additionally, the odious Siyad Barre regime had access to inexhaustible supplies of arms offered for free by the brotherly totalitarian communist nations of North Korea, Yugoslavia. And the former Soviet Union.

Unfortunately for Siyad Barre, neither these military resources nor the political recognition of the world community have saved his totalitarian regime from the dust beam of history.

The Somali people love their liberty and freedom more than they do world recognition. They will always destroy tyranny and abuse of power irrespective of its world standing.

Additionally, today’s opponents of the TFG are more united, more endowed with weapons, more committed to freedom and liberty than the unarmed civilians that revolted against the pretentious of the totalitarian Siyad Barre regime that tried to enslave them

Today the populace of southern Somalia, faced were with the might of the United States Air force and Ethiopian paratroopers and Tanks, have wisely decided to duck this juggernaut onslaught. They have decided to bide their time and to recover from the shock of the US air force bombing before they embark on sending these TFG and their collaborators back to their Ethiopian and US masters.

The TFG is in a ludicrous position. They claim to represent the will of the Somali people, yet they invite Ethiopians, our arch enemies, to protect them from the very Somali public they claim to represent. Even Siyad Barre had more legitimacy than that.

In order to deflect this glaring incongruence of their proclamations with the bunker mentality of its leadership, the TFG has developed a new strategy. This strategy relies on propaganda and deception.

The objective of their propaganda is to create an impression of success and inevitability. The TFG proglumates laws that have no validity beyond their bunkers. They offer stamps, flags and passports that are null and void beyond their bunker.

Propaganda is always a poor substitute for reality. False and unbacked propaganda is a temporary and fleeting accomplishment. Inevitably, realities overtake hot air.

The precarious existence of the TFG government in villa Somalia, under the armed guard of our arch enemy, is a temporary one. It will not amount to anything meaningful. The Ethiopians will have to leave our land soon on their own accord, or they will be compelled to leave our scared land by the resilient and free people of Somalia.

Some unpopular warlords such as Yallahow have wisely and cleverly decided to offer apparent and temporary allegiance to the TFG and its Tigrian masters. These warlords have no choice but to do what they did. These warlords are unpopular with the people of Mogadishu who supported the ICU over them last year.

Faced with unpopularity with the Mogadishu populace and well aware of the presence of Tigrian forces, these warlords decided to offer a hypocritical and temporary allegiance to Geedi and yusuf. They have no other choice.

The populace of Mogadishu is hostages to Ethiopian tanks and to the US air force. Deep down, however, they are afire with scorn, anger and revenge. The populace of Mogadishu is silently defiant. They are filled with contempt by the humbling caused by their arch enemy and by the desecration of their city. They are wisely biding their time for events to favor them.

The TFG is in despair for legitimacy among the Somali people. Human nature is so constituted that it will exhaust all illusions before it succumbs to despair. The TFG is determined to create illusions by clever propaganda to mask that it is nothing more than a criminal enterprise of ambitious warlords installed by an Ethiopian despot.

The conceit of the TFG to conquer the indomitable spirit of the Somali people is a glaring contradiction to their slavish sycophancy to the tigran dwarf, Meles Zenawi.

The TFG is as impotent as it was in November, 2006. Bringing Tigre forces into our scared land will only make Somalis more determined, more united, and more resolute than ever.

Nazi Germany has temporarily placed the emblem of the swastika on the scared evil tower of Paris in 1941. This infamous act of humiliation did not subjugate the free French people. It merely made the French people more determined and more resolute...

The placement of the Ethiopian flag on top of our scared liberation monument of Hawa Taako does not usher a new age of enslavement of the Somali people. Such an act simply engenders a new and more magnificent age of defiance. This historic act of humiliation merely makes us more determined and more resolute.

The TFG collaborators of the Ethiopian enemy will go down into Somali history’s hall of shame of traitors. They will share infamy with the collaborative leaders of the French Vichy government, the Norwegian captain Quisling, and other unsavory characters of history. Names like Abdullah you, Geedi and Buubaa will share the same abode with the arch traitor as the infamous Lucifer.

These characters have sold their souls to the devil. The have exchanged their soul for gains in this world. They will burn in hell

When the dust settles, Somalis will build a new monument for Haawo Taako in place of the current violated Hawa tako monument. The inscriptions on the new monument will read as follows:

“Here lies the criminal Tigre Empire vanquished by the humiliated but free people of Somalia which it tried to enslave.”
