Mohamed Ibrahim Egal and his authoritarian approach
Khaled Hassan Yousef
He was an avid figure of power and authority and stations of his political career confirmed it
Mohammed Ibrahim, had hijacked the political will of Somalis who were formerly British subjects, and divided politically after the departure of the occupation on how to meet with Somalis who were once in Italy
Unity between the parties were not questioned or rejected after the exception of the United National Front position NFU which was headed by lawyer Michael Miriam, the slope of the tribe Hbergaallo, the RUF was seen in the survival of the occupation for 30 years and other necessity, and did not then want to foreign departure
While the United Somali Party position USP was seen not to achieve immediate and unity and be a political included stems from negotiating with Mogadishu, in order to share power between the two regions and closer political literature, administrative and legal systems of some of them, and in the framework of the party's position came saying, "No, my locusts" by the Nexus
Where the Somali National League SNL headed by Mohamed Ibrahim Aajal, you want to do an immediate and unity with Mogadishu without any negotiations or political settlements between the two regions, and that was what had happened, where the three parties headed to Mogadishu, which is divided on the back of three political visions.
The result is that the sharp political divergence between these three parties has deepened the differences between these forces.
However, the problem that stood behind the dispute centered on the quest of Mohammed Ibrahim Igal and his party to be unique in the political decision from the beginning, while the situation required to be discussed and consulted between the three party forces
The position of the Front in the continuation of the British presence was outside the context of the current history at the time and a break with Somalia's immediate aspiration for independence
The question that imposes itself is what prompted Egal and his link to that unique position and his desire to compromise on the chairmanship of the territorial government with Mogadishu and with the opposition of the party to an immediate unity
Clearly, the need to control the decision and reach the presidency of the federal government had stopped behind the coup, which was not mature politically
The quest in 1963 to the formation of the Ministry urges the name of the northern provinces affairs and put forward the project to parliament, was a political action reinforces undermine the unity of the state, and push it towards the division, which participated later, and issued in the 1993-2002 war between the separatists and their project, confirms what Aajal
In another and a similar political context Aajal made in the 1967 contract agreement Laroussi in Tanzania with the Kenyan government, and under that agreement, which did not find a mandate from the Somali state, hyper-mentioned political fate of the Somali was not advisable to be dealt with through that solitary and excessive-oriented rights
But the irony in turn was that the agreement passed in the Somali parliament
The corruption of the ruling party and the deputies led to the passage of the agreement which reached a compromise between President Abdul Rashid Ali Sharmarki and his Prime Minister Mohammed Ibrahim Ijal, and his acceptance of their political leadership, regardless of the interests of the country
Of course, the other reason that the deputies passed the agreement is that the displaced leaders from the Somali territories under occupation are frequently descended from the regions of western Somalia or Ogadenia and imposed on them a priority emanating from regional political behavior
