Politicians made famous by the clan wars believe that Hassan has "a shared political solution" to the continuing crisis in Somalia with Abdiqassim and that he was in a position to encourage the breakaway Puntland Autonomous region to return to the union folder "as urgent as possible".
But politicians of the old school scoffed the idea of Hassan Abshir as Prime of a country that's struggling to cleanse its tarnished image abroad.
