“Djibouti: Is DAF Daher Ahmed Farah A Leader Or A
Warlord?”
8 March 2010By Mohamed Awaleh
Have you noticed lately that Mr. Daher Ahmed Farah,
alias DAF, (self-exiled and sectarian Politician) has
been exposed to what he really stands for: helping to
destabilize the Republic of Djibouti for foreign
enemies? Thanks for the internet based-radio:
Kulanka.com, hiiraan.com and VOA. All he talks about
recently is, that there’s a civil war in the north; in
the other word – he is striving to entice a fear into
the minds of Djiboutian people - instead of him
mobilizing the Djiboutians to band together against
Eritrea, who occupied their piece of territory. We
have not hear him yet publicly condemns the Eritrean
naked aggression against Djibouti nor that he’s
letting known the mad man in Asmara, Isayas Afawerki,
that the Djiboutians are one, when it comes to their
interest and defense of their country, in spite of
what their political differences might be. I hope; he
understands the Djiboutian national security is been
at stake not politics of division.
How could he claim to be a legitimate leader when he
wishes to see his country becomes like Somalia? He
often reiterates there’s a fighting faction of ‘FRUD’
in the North. We cannot longer stand by and watch him
disrupts the Republic or advocate for violent groups.
It seems that Daher Ahmed Farah is in a desperate
position – It sure shows that he is politically
bankrupted; if one hears his interviews on various
Radio Stations –will sure realize, who he really is: a
demagogue.
It seems that he turns out to be the Public Relation
Representative of whomever those bandits of the North,
might be – if they exist. Does he not know that’s not
a good politics? I thought Mr. DAF was politically
skillful or astute; I was wrong – if he thinks this
will help him gain few Djiboutian Afars. He blew it!
Is he aware that the ninety-nine percent of Afars
oppose to take arms in order to solve the current
political crisis? Because they know this route will
not bring a sensible result; but would only exacerbate
the suffering of the people. Or he is only telling us
if I can’t take over the power - let the country be
doom. If Mr. Daher managed to get his family out of
the country –he should remember there are over nine
hundred thousands Djiboutian that he left behind,
still remain. A civil war is not a wise solution; we
must learn from Somalia. I vehemently oppose any form
of violence or fighting for political solution or for
a purpose of power mechanism.
It’s proving that he’s not yet went beyond clannish
politics. The Djiboutian people remember him when he
used to just criticize only the President Ismail O.
Guelleh, General Zakaria of the Army and the Minister
of Interior, Yacin E. Bouh, based on their clan
affiliation, not on their policies - and not the
Minister of environment, Mr. Johar and Former Minister
of Youth and Sports, Mr. Hassan Farah. He also praised
the illegal action taken by then, the former head of
the Djiboutian Police; the late General Yacin Yabe
(May Allah bless his soul) of taken over the
Djiboutian Radio Station back in 2000, dispatched his
troupes to block the roads and order to arrest the
elected President, Mr. Ismail O. Guelleh. What some
call it an attempted but failed ‘coup-d’etat’; but Mr.
DAF on his article, calls it, ‘la colere du general’
(Just angry General), he excuses for the late
General’s ‘mal-a-droit’, simply because of his clan
affiliation.
It’s obvious; he realized that he failed to persuade
or to convince the Djiboutian Citizens to his ideas;
wherever that might be. Then, he began to spread
repeatedly unfounded-rumors about Djibouti’s fragile
security. The majority of Djiboutian is shock to hear
him sound more and more like war-lords of Southern
Somalia. Patient is a virtue, Mr. Daher Ahmed Farah.
An opposition leader must have a political program and
policies of unification with all Djiboutian nationals
–a leader should not and must not exploit the
difference of the people.
