Mohamed Olad Hassan of the Associated Press reports:

Somalia’s virtually powerless government was unravelling as a fifth of its cabinet resigned in disgust and the administration’s Islamic rivals took over the presidential palace in the capital of Mogadishu. Eighteen key ministers in the 102-member cabinet said on Thursday their government had failed to bring peace to this chaotic African nation as it emerged from 15 years of anarchy. The leadership had no power outside its base in Baidoa, 250km from the capital. According to a letter of resignation issued by the MPs: “We have seen that the government can’t carry out national reconciliation and development.” The MPs included the ministers for domestic co-operation and for planning and international relations.

The MPs has a good point! The TFG has failed. It must disband ASAP! The warlords must be ejected from the transitional parliament.
