Mohamed, who knows exactly what he's talking about, has responded to this minion whose true expertise lies in marauding national spoils and selling off the country's assets to foreigners without hesitation. He assisted his half-brother (@HassanSMohamud) in plundering the country when he was Minister of Petroleum. See the attached @Moedubad1’s thread.
I'd add something here that Max Weber touches on in Politics as a Vocation: about leaders. He says, “they're either living for politics or living from it.” Meaning the former are genuinely passionate and born to lead, even spending their own time wealth in politics, while others are simply in it to accumulate wealth. Your team fits the latter description very well.
More to the point, Weber breaks leaders into three types: (1) monarchic leaders, who inherit their position; (2) passionate leaders, who live for politics; and (3) those who make a living and build their wealth from leadership. Your team, and I mean this plainly, falls squarely into the third category.

You are missing the basic argument proposed by Weber. Weber was careful when discussing monopoly of power. He said ‘legitimate force’, not just raw power. Having all the guns doesn’t mean you have rule of law. Plenty of governments control everything yet still abuse their own people. Controlling power and respecting the law are two very different things.
