Somali lawmakers are scheduled to choose the next president Monday, moving the nation a step closer to its first stable central government since the 1991 ouster of a dictator.
The new parliament, which was selected last month, will hold a ballot to choose the president from about two dozen candidates.
In a letter to lawmakers, the United Nations called for a credible leader who can propel the African nation toward peace.
"After two decades of civil war, a collapsed state and innumerable indignities to the proud Somali people, we are hours away from the election of a new president," said Augustine P. Mahiga, the U.N. envoy to the nation.

CNN: Somalia to pick president, set up first stable central govt. in 21 years.
JF : I know someone that will be available after the November elections. I stand corrected. They're looking for someone to set up a stable central government.
Romney wants to move?
Besides that I'm still waiting for my $10,000,000 check from the Bank of Liberia, being held in confidence by our own FBI director (really sweet of him). I'd pad the Somolians, and help them out.
Lol, hope you're not holding your breath waiting for that payout scam...

Hi, Jeff.
I'm on my cell using mobile version...some older phones don't have this feature, and my old BB's mobile version had numbered posts; this one doesn't.
Somalia and Stable just does not compute. @Jeff Frank, Yahoo has been compromised for a while. I gave it up when a hacker got into my account. The idiot was logged into my account, and under his first name he was reading the news.
People have been having trouble with Yahoo for at *least* two years at the library...easily two years.
