Supporters of the Future Forum argue that while the two politicians were quick to reject the transitional proposal, they failed to offer any credible alternative for breaking the current political deadlock. For many supporters of the Future Forum, the issue is no longer simply whether the transitional proposal is the best solution. Fiqi also alleged that foreign interests were attempting to exploit Somalia’s political divisions, although he presented no public evidence to substantiate the claim. The Future Forum insists that a broad-based transitional authority offers the only realistic path out of the crisis. Until that question is convincingly answered, Somalia’s constitutional crisis is likely to deepen, leaving uncertainty—not consensus—as the defining feature of the country’s political landscape.
