One of Mr Yusuf's first acts following his election was to call for 20,000 foreign peacekeepers, who would both disarm the many militias and protect his government.
"That is a crazy idea," says one of the key Mogadishu warlords, Hussein Aideed, before he was named deputy prime minister in the new government.
He says the presence of such a large foreign force would only unite all the different Somali factions against it.
He's got a point. Somalia's greatest moments of unity have been in the face of foreign incursion.
On the other hand, do they expect order from the same chaos within the country?
