Some are forgetting the most important thing

Happened few days ago that some Somali “Ministers” (in Somalia there is no Ministry of any kind) pro-“President” have resigned in protest against the “Prime Minister”, which has accepted and signed the resignation.

A few days later, they claimed they are still Ministers even without a new acceptance of the “Prime Minister”. However they needed the confidence of the “Parliament”, which refused them confidence.

Now they state they are “Ministers” , even without the confidence and acceptance of the “Prime Minister” because the “President” (which does not name the Ministers) did refuse the no-confidence of the “Parliament”, and some of them went to participate the UN General Assembly.

Indeed nobody knows what do they do as Ministers since they’re without Ministries.

To me it seems some are forgetting the most important thing.

Rather reminds me of the strange story of the 4 disabled and hungry Somalis in the bush. A deaf, one blind, one without legs, and the last naked.

"A cow roar on the horizon" shouts the deaf. "I see it and is also gray " agrees the blind. "With a leap we can capture it" suggests that without legs. "And if they strip us (of all possessions)?" concludes fearing the nude.

Everything is tragicomic.
