Ahmed asked the prime minister and his followers to stop funding the protests against his resignation that have occurred in recent days in Mogadishu and have left several dead.

Somalia has been in an ongoing civil war and has no effective government since 1991, when he ousted the dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, which left the country in the hands of tribal warlords, Islamic militants and even armed gangs.

The weakness and the confrontation between the Somali transitional institutions has led in recent years to increase its power and territorial control to the radical Islamic militia al-Shabab, linked to Al Qaeda, which seeks to overthrow the transitional government and establish a Muslim state court Wahhabi in the Horn of Africa.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan (Rize, 1957) has become tonight in the second Turkish prime minister in the polls validate a third consecutive term. The other, Adnan Menderes was hanged in 1961 after a military coup when he was about to get the fourth victory at the polls. A Erdogan did not happen the same. First, because it may stand for a fourth term: what's statutes prohibit his triumphant ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). And second, because the Turkish military have left to mark the transition to civilian rulers since the moderate Islamist AKP came to power in 2002 and took the path of reforms leading to Europe.
Erdogan has denied himself a historic victory with a final 50% of the vote to 99% of the vote, placing the bar too high expectations, grab at least 330 of the 550 seats in Parliament to unilaterally impose new constitution that Turkey needs to become a new global power and democratic. With 326 members, has been at the gates of his goal, which would allow solo writing the Constitution to be submitted directly to referendum. And even farther from the 367 seats, which have approved the constitution by a landslide in the House itself without recourse to a referendum.

Turkish elections have been a game in which everyone wins. Although the fatuous dream of Erdogan's try to dictate the rules of the game is gone, his third consecutive election victory is indisputable, worthy of historical leaders such as Margaret Thachter in the UK or Helmut Kohl in Germany. A referendum imposing a political and economic reforms that have opened up new spaces of freedom and prosperity for the 74 million Turks.

AKP wins and also wins the Republican People's Party (CHP) of Kemal Kiliçdaroglu, "the Turkish Gandhi" that obtains for the center-left 27% of the vote, compared to the meager 20% that got his predecessor, Deniz Yilmaz in the 2007 elections. Kiliçdaroglu now be imposed against the nationalist old guard of his party and consolidate its turn secular and social democratic alternative to Erdogan's Islamic conservatism.

Earn even the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), despite having lost a few thousand votes and have fallen to 13%. The far right feared to be left out of the House if the barrier did not exceed 10% of the national vote after a wave of sex scandals that have punctuated his leadership.

And win, and notably, the Kurdish nationalist Party of Peace and Democracy (BDP), which, as independents in their strongholds in southeastern Anatolia have weathered the reef from 10% to total 35 seats, 15 more than four years ago. Erdogan and parliamentary groups will have their voices heard to agree the new constitution viable.

But mostly wins Turkish democracy, which has denied the absolute power as an exceptional leader Erdogan to force him to seek greater consensus requires a nation's social contract. Has been granted, yes, a strong majority to govern without ties and pursue the path of growth and reforms.

New Constitution

The orientation of the new Turkish Constitution drafted yesterday elected Parliament will necessarily subject to checks and balances. Erdogan has defended a model presidential campaign, like that of France or the United States, where he would run as a candidate for head of state to exert a powerful executive branch to the horizon of 2023, the centenary of the founding of Turkey modern. But the secular opposition CHP required to maintain the current parliamentary model in order to exert greater control over the government.

The re-elected Prime Minister Erdogan will face from now to the old unresolved Turkey, accumulated during his nine year rule of two consecutive terms. As stated in its latest report Hugh Pope, director of analysis for Turkey from the International Crisis Group, the revival of the negotiation process for accession to the European Union, which took off in 2005 but remain stranded due to the veto of Cyprus, and solution to the Kurdish conflict, which has caused over 40,000 deaths over the past three decades, are the most urgent tasks awaiting the new Cabinet.

In the same vein, the European Council of Foreign Exteriotres (ECFR its acronym in English), questions in his latest publication on whether the Eurasian country can manage its internal diversity, internal tensions reconcile and heal the wounds of the past without agreeing the new constitution. The EFCR argues that, despite the growing rejection of the Turks into the EU from the freezing of the accession negotiations, Turkey Europe can help the peaceful resolution of the Kurdish conflict, and use their influence (the Twenty is the largest customer Turkish-market economy) on the new government in Ankara to allay fears that the AKP can exercise absolute power.

When the newly formed Justice and Development Party (AKP) was submitted to the 2002 elections, nobody could foresee the political earthquake that would entail. After a campaign based on the fight against corruption - 'AK' means 'pure' in Turkish, the Islamist AKP won an astounding 34.3% of the vote, despite the suspicions of the old elite secularists who claimed that the Erdogan's party in his youth, who refused to shake hands with women, had a hidden agenda to Islamicize the country.

But, once in government, policy reform, free market and pro-Europe was hailed as a step in the democratization of Turkey. The AKP was re-elected with 47% of the vote in 2007. And again as a favorite part in the elections today: some polls give more than 50% of the vote largely thanks to its good economic performance. Its stated goal is to accommodate more than 367 of the 550 parliamentary seats, allowing them to unilaterally change the present Constitution, with amendments, established after the 1980 coup.

However, some things have changed in his politics. After years of reform momentum protected by the process of accession to the European Union, the rejection within the EU to Turkish entry has led many to question the need to insist on certain policy reforms, for example, rights Kurdish minority or police abuse. Concerned, in addition, the increasing intolerance of criticism and discourse increasingly religious and nationalist leaders exhibit.

The paradox is that the AKP wins election because his great rival, the secular Republican Party (CHP) is widely perceived as "less democratic" associated with "old order" in which the military arbitrated country's political life and refused other identities of secular nationalism was established by the founder of modern Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. His followers, the Kemalist, are seen by a large segment of the population and secular elites, the so-called sosyete "- and intolerant, far from the daily concerns of many Turks.

But this may be changing. The party broke up a year ago of its leader, Deniz Baykal, after the appearance of a sexually explicit video in which he seemed to maintain an affair. His replacement, Kemal Kiliçdaroglu has given a new image, showing more tolerant position towards the question of the veil in Turkey are more than 60% of the women, as distinct from the military coup and accused of making bold proposals to solve the Kurdish issue, including an amnesty for Kurdish guerrillas active.

This, according to surveys, will bring between 25 and 30% of the vote in elections today. The CHP known to have the secular women's vote and has managed to gain many liberals uneasy center to which its authoritarian past.
The Kurds

More difficult it is to the Kurdish-quarter of the country's population, which could not promise much more than a policy of decentralization that gives more autonomy to the Kurdish areas of southeast. Many Kurds will opt for Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), a training base leftist Kurdish (though not exclusively), which is the fourth political force in Turkey. The BDP has it difficult to overcome the election barrier to enter Parliament, which in Turkey is 10%, so it has chosen to support independent candidates.

Thus, the key may lie in the ultra-nationalist National Action Party (MHP)-the third party by number of votes, and polls that give a comfortable 13 or 14%, perhaps more so, when to establish a partnership everyone needs.
