Mr.Francois Lonseny Fall, United Nations envoy to Somalia was qouted as saying:   

It hardly needs repeating here today, but the future of your country is in your hands. (…) You have arrived at a crossroad and you have a choice that should be easy to make. It should be the easiest choice that you will ever have to make. It is a choice — either to allow anarchy and chaos to prevail in your country — or to lead the Somali people towards reconciliation and reconstruction, peace and prosperity. The Somali people and the international community expect you to make the right choice.   

Mr. Fall continued by saying: 

I can assure you that the United Nations and the international community will be with you each step of the way, supporting you and encouraging you. But you must lead the way.   

I agree with Mr. Fall, the overriding political priority for the Somali federal MPs must be how to stop the lawlessness in the country and bring about security. Anything else must take the back seat for the time being.
