Oslo(Ramaas) Jan.16, 2011 – Wasiirka Arimaha Dibedda ee Dawlada ku meel-gaadhka ah ee Soomaaliya oo todobaadkan isaga iyo wefti uu hogaaminayey ku sugnaayeen magaalada Oslo, ayaa mar uu la kulmay xubno ka tirsan jaaliyadda Somaliland ee dalka Norway, ayaa waxa uu markii ugu horaysay ka hadlay, sifihii uu ugu biiray dawlada Sheekh Shariif sanadii 2009 iyo ciddii la ogayd. Maxamed Cabdillaahi Oomaar waxa kale oo uu ka hadlay, waxa lala maagan yahay shacabka iyo dawlada Somaliland, wixii ka dambeeya bisha Siddeedaad ee Sanadka 2011. Waxaana uu hadalkiisa ku bilaabay In bishii koowaad akhirkeedii sanadkii 2009 isaga oo Hargeysa ku soo socda uu Jabuuti ku soo maray Sheekh Shariif, halkaana ay shan daqiiqo kulmeen, dabadeedna uu Hargeysa usoo ambabaxay. Laba todobaad kadib isaga oo marxuumkii Aabihii la qadeynaya in uu soo wacay Raysal wasaarihii Cumar Cabdirashiid, kuna yidhi arintaasaanu(Xilkaasaanu) isla soo qaadnee, maxaad ka odhan lahayd. ”Waxan ugu jawaabay maba xumee, laakiinse Somaliland baan jooggaaye bal horta waa inaan iyada weydiiyaa, in aan iska soo dhaqaaqo oo idhaahdo waa ikan wax caqliga gala ma aha’e. Adigu Odayaashii iyo Cuqaashii baan u tagay oo aan u bandhigay, Saddex Saacadood kadib, waxay iigu soo jawaabeen Adeer haddii aad na weydiisay waad fasaxan tahay. Waan ka tegay Saraakiishii SNM ayaan doontay, Maxamed Kaahin, Dhagaweyne iyo Cali Guray iyo Qayrkood, waxay igu yidhaahdeen haddaad wax na weydiinaysaba waad wanaagsantee orod oo iska tag. Markaa annigu kumaan tegin mansab raadis, mansabkeeda iyo nabadeeduna wax la hubo may ahayn. Balse anniga waxay iigu muuqatay, wakhti lagu qanco in dhibaato jirto waynu soo marnay, in meel uun lagu dhego oo maya la yidhaahdo waa laga fiican yahay. Kolkaa in la baadho dariiqooyinka jira, waxaanan isbarbardhigay laba shay: Ka bilow Gigaal illaa Rayaale oo markaa joogay iyo Axmed oo markaa ahaa guddoomiyaha xisbiga Kulmiye illaa Odayaasha Guurtida. Qolo waliba waxay lahayd Koonfuri maalintay wax noqoto ayaanu la hadlaynaa, taa micnaheedu waxay ahayd bal meeshaa intay wax ka unkamayaan in la sugaa. Qodobka labaad: Labaatan Sannadood baynu sugaynoo waa iska laalaadnaa, xal meesha jiraana ma muuqdo. Anniguna siyaasi ma ahayn, haddii aan siyaasi ahay kuma dhiiradeen, balse danbaan u arkay. Kolkaa waxan isweydiiyey haddii aad ku jirtid xaalad la iska laadlaado, maxay dhaxli doonaan jiilka yaryari? Koonfuri tashan kari wayday, innaguna danteena u seegi mayno, lahadli mayno. Markaa waxan is idhi, haddii aad wax ka gaysan karo iyaga inta wax lala dhiso, hadhowto labada dawladood ha is hor-fadhiistaan oo iyagu go’aan ha ka gaadhaan, waa wax fiican haddii taa la heli karo. Markaa haddii aan soo koobo, intii aanan tegina dad waa weydiiyey, markaan tegayna si san in aan uga hawlgalo waan ku dadaalay ”Xamartaa la leeyahay hanti iyo daaro ayuu raadsaday Huteel baan kaga jiraa,” ma garatay!. Mar uu ka hadlayey waxa lala maagan yahay Somaliland, wixii ka dambeeya bisha siddedaad ee sanadkan, wuxu yidhi: annigu waan ka hadlay waanan ku dhex jiraa, haddadaa aynu joognana iyo Siddeeda Bilood ee soo socdana waxa loo baahan yahay in wax la isla meel dhigo. Go’aankana idinkaa la idinka rabaa, sababtoo ah imika nidaamka socdaa waa dawlad ku meel-gaadh ah, bisha siddeedaad wixii ka dambeeya, Dastuurka cusub inta la dhaqangeliyo waa in loo gudbaa dawlad Federaal ah. Waxa laga baxayaa dawlada ku meel-gaadhka ah, waxaana loo gudbayaa dawlad rasmi ah. Micnihii markaa muxuu noqonayaa, haddii aanay Somaliland ogayn oonay go’aan ka keenin, dadkeediina ka tashan. Iyada oo dad kale iska wataan bay ku daneysanayaan oo meeshay rabaan ka gaadhayaan. Kolkaa annigu waan ku dhex jiraa, qodob baanan taaganahay, qododkaasina mid la iga furfurayo maaha, laakiinse hiil baan u baahanay. Hiilku muxuu yahay? Waar dalka dhami hal sharci buu ku taagan yahay, sharci kaliya ayaa aasaaskiisa oo dhamiba yahay, kaas oo ah ”Act of union”. Laba dawladood baa isu yimi, qoraal bay kala saxeexdeen, kaas ayaa abuuray Somali Republic. Heshiiskaas ayaa yaalla Security Councel-ka, Africa Union-ka iyo Arab Leage-ga, kaasaanay aqoonsan yihiin. Annigu waxan taaganahay Baydhabo iyo Kaalkacyo lama mid aha Gobolada Waqooyigu ee Koonfur oo kaamil ah iyo Waqooyi oo kaamil ah baa isku darsamay oo heshiis caalamiya ku midoobay. Markaa horta halkaa ha laga bilaabo, annigu halkaasaan taaganahay ee maxaa idinla gudboon. Ramaasnews Desk Oslo. http://www.ramaasnews.com/news.php?readmore=5522

Somali Clerics Urge Cease-Fire to Help Civilians Hit by Drought January 10, 2011, 10:11 AM EST By Hamsa Omar Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- A group of Somali clerics called for a cease-fire between government forces and Islamist militants to help civilians affected by drought, as the main rebel group in the drought-stricken country said attacks should be increased. A six-month halt to hostilities is needed to allow for aid to be distributed in the Horn of Africa country, Sheikh Bashiir Ahmed Salad, head of Hay’adda Culumada Soomaaliyeed, an umbrella body of mullahs, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday from Mogadishu, the capital. “I also call on al-Shabaab to allow the aid agencies to give aid to vulnerable civilians,” Salad said. Somalia’s Western-backed government has been battling insurgents, including the al-Shabaab militia that has pledged loyalty to al-Qaeda, since 2007. The country hasn’t had a functioning central administration since the ouster of former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. Two million people in Somalia have been affected by drought following the failure of the October to December rains in most parts of Somalia, the United Nations’ humanitarian agency said in a statement on Jan. 7. Water supplies have decreased, cereal prices have climbed and livestock deaths are being reported, said Mark Bowden, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Somalia. “A further deterioration in the humanitarian situation is expected in the coming months,” Bowden said in the statement. Some of Somalia’s farmers have travelled to Mogadishu to seek assistance. ‘Severe Drought’ “I came to Mogadishu after I was unable to help my animals,” said Ahmed Qabow Isse, a nomadic goat herder who left the central Middle Shabelle region last month in search of assistance. “I have lost more than 300 goats over the past few months from thirst and hunger. There is a severe drought in the region,” he said in an interview on Jan. 8. Workers providing humanitarian relief in Somalia are regularly hindered by armed groups, while eight aid agencies are banned from the southern and central regions, the UN said in December. Domestic organizations in partnership with the UN have taken over the delivery of services in the affected areas, it said. Sheikh Mukhtar Robow Abu Mansor, a leader of al-Shabaab, yesterday called on his forces to step up attacks against government forces and African Union peacekeepers in the country. “I call on all mujahedeen, wherever they are, to redouble their attacks in order to shorten the continuing battle,” Mansor said in a statement broadcast on Radio Furqan, a Mogadishu-based broadcaster. “You should persist until you have eradicated all the mercenary troops.” Most of southern and central Somalia has been seized by the insurgents, while the government, led by President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed, controls only parts of Mogadishu. Al-Shabaab’s governor in Mogadishu said yesterday wealthy individuals in the country should provide assistance to vulnerable citizens. “Those of you who have wealth and money should assist their brothers and sisters immediately,” Sheikh Ali Mohamed Hussein told reporters yesterday in the city. --Editors: Paul Richardson, Philip Sanders.

South African Mercenary Outfit Training Troops in Somalia Recently, the Associated Press (AP) broke the story that there were 1050 troops being trained in the north eastern region of Somalia, otherwise known as Puntland, by a mercenary group, or security contractors from South Africa known as Saracen International. At the end of the Apartheid era, many of the special forces of that regime ventured into various yet similar vocations and enterprises that offered lucrative, opportunities as well as providing absolute impunity. Never mind that “Mercenaries” as persons recruited for armed conflict by or in a country other than their own who are motivated solely by personal gain are outlawed under Article 47 of the Geneva Convention. Saracen International is a complex web of businesses that sell luxury real estates properties as well as international investment opportunities. It has taken over under a different name the now defunct Executive Outcomes. The latter has a broad record in Angola, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. They were guns for hire; a private army to perform variety of “good” and “dirty jobs” necessary enforces peace or silence dissent. Major Lafras Luitingh, one of the founders and the former CEO of Executive Outcomes, now plays a key leading role in Saracen International. Major Luitingh—a man who has been implicated in a number of reports—was a board member of the South African Civil Cooperation Bureau (CCB) of the Apartheid era. Contrary to what the name might suggest, this was a government-sponsored covert operation; a hit squad during the apartheid era that operated under the authority of Defense Minister General Magnus Malan. This covert organization had three main objectives: to eliminate anti-apartheid activists throughout the world; to destroy ANC facilities both inside and outside South Africa; and, to circumvent UN-imposed arms embargo. The Truth and Reconciliation Committee found the CCB guilty of numerous killings and atrocities. Ignorantly or perhaps recklessly insensitive to the historic role that the South African mercenaries have played in carrying out former dictator Siyad Barre’s persecution of particular dissenting clans in the north-western region of Somalia, the TFG again has signed a contract with mercenaries from South Africa. According to Hussein Abdi Halane, Somalia’s Minister of Finance, who was interviewed by the VOA Somali branch, “Saracen will help the Somali government train some of its forces.” Among other things, this private security group would be training anti-piracy forces as well as the bodyguards of Somali government officials, drivers, and civil servants. Ever since the AP report, concerns were raised by a number of stakeholders ranging from UN, AU, AMISOM, US, and EU. Concerns range from “Who will be financing this contract?”, to “Is this going to violate the arms embargo imposed on Somalia since 1992?” However, the real concern, from the Somali perspective, ought to be: Since civilians are already exposed to great dangers with al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam’s mortar attacks on AMISOM and the latter’s counter attacks, and neither of the former militias (now one group) are waging their attacks from a jungle, how are they going to protect civilian lives from their advanced, state-of-the-art weaponry? Is this group going to uphold basic human rights and respect all international conventions? Who would have the responsibility and/or jurisdiction to prosecute any violation that may be made? Would they be able to differentiate between civilians “Saracens” and combatant ones? And, from the UN and the international community perspective, the concern ought to be: Would this group keep its hands off the uranium deposits in the central regions of Somalia where they are now allowed to operate freely? It is quite apparent that the TFG has not done its due diligence. Among other things, the TFG agreed to not tax any of the goods and equipments that this group brings into the country which is euphemism for not searching any and all they possess. It is incumbent upon the TFG to immediately end this contract, and upon the international community to pressure Saracen International and all other mercenary groups believed to be operating in "Somaliland" and “Puntland” to leave Somalia.

Sarbeeb weeye warku fadlan filinka fahma. Mise fartii waaweynayd ee A&T oo kale baad dooneysaan.

That unjust resolution in no way took into account the aspirations of the people of Og’aden and wrongly portrayed the Og’aden conflict as a border dispute between two States when it is infact a conflict borne from the desire of the Og’aden people for self-determination. There you have it.

^ Don't go there. Somalina will be here any sec.

^ Reminds me of the story of the kids who were robbed by a local thug and told their story to one of their friends who wasn't at the crime scence. The friend responded "la ileee...haddaan joogii lahaa lee". They asked him what he would have done and he replied "waa booteen lahaa noh".

All major news portals are covering the crazy TFG & Puntland mercenary transactions. It's not only PL or TFG, there are unconfirmed rumours some SL officials have been caught up in them. Trust me, I'll be on their case the same way (possible even more) if it turns out to be true. If I opposed UDUB's deal with Aljaabiri, what makes you think I'll accept this sort of deal.

Chimera Lots of words while saying nothing significant up there. I never said "Dervish were solely responsible for the death of Somalis", did I? You also failed to put things in chronological order because looting from Somalis was one of the first actions carried out by the Mullah, even before the battles with the British forces. They achieved recognition of a Somali State by foreign powers, a significant feat considering at the time 99% of Africa was under foreign rule. The Mullah's recognised State territory was Kenadiid old Sultanate. In other words, he signed a treaty which not only meant the dethroning of the Sultan by him, but also respecting the British colonial border. It depends how you look at the glass. The 77/78 0gaden war - however heroic it was - is generally viewed by most as mistake. It's time for you to look at the big picture when it comes to Dervishes struggle. The reasons for its failure are comparable to the failure of the military regime and the current events. If we do compare the two (failed) States, very similar questions arise. Was the Mullah justified assassinating Garaad Ali? What about the murders of likes of Sh. Aweys and rival sub-clan peace envoys? Was it worth the intra-clan in-fight and subsequent starvation?
