JB, it is nice to know Mr. Mustafe is still alive. Thank ALLAh; it is His command that this changed and contrite journalist hasn’t yet been slaughtered in Hargeisa riverbed. You and I will never know what has prevented the SNM gang from misbehaving. SOL and the internet might have an impact on them. By starting this thread to indicate to the jeopardy on his life, it is possible (and you will never know as I said before), that his life is spared at least for now. I know you will refuse outright to give me that credit but do not take lightly the impact of this site on the gang. You remember my articles on Siilaanyo being blocked from visiting his constituency in Burcoa and areas for more than seven years. Right in middle of our debate, the guy was allowed to go there albeit with heavily armed escorts from the gang. I suspect you are the middleman to advice the gang on what is being said to the world about their actions and you so smartly and quickly recommend them corrective actions. But, I can not stop laughing at your simplistic logic in this case. If you want to verify the authenticity of the article why don’t you order a video copy of Mustafe Shiine’s speech from Universal as the author of the article recommends “ Khudbada Mustafe Shiine oo muuqaal ah ka daawo Universal kadibna ka soo dhiibo fikirkaada,…. ? Boy, mercy on you…

What JB doesn’t want you to know!! Will the criminal SNM gang order the slaughter of SOLJA’s Mustafe Cabdi Ciisse in Hargeisa’s riverbed? As this piece of news from waagacusub.com indicates Mr. Ciise has agreed to dismantle his entity and incorporate his operations with Ururka Suxufiyiinta Qaranka Soomaaliya (National Union of Somali Journalists). To gage the magnitude of the seriousness of the news, you have to remember the owner of the source waagacusub.com is the odd personality from Mogadishu that seems to have peculiar sympathy for Faisal Warabi’s impossible dream for dismembering the Somali Republic. Mr. Mustafe Cabdi Ciisse is the middle pillar (udub dhexaadka) of the propaganda network of Riyaale’s SNM gang in the body frame of a daily, the so called Maandeeq. But, he seems to be waking up from the Rip Van Winkle's dream and start re-smelling the reality of the Somali unity. Here is the piece. Good lucky with the Somali.

Brother, they better get recognition for sovereignty fast or else they have to come to the peace talks. No more pampering of the SNM gang. This is the best diplomatic method to deal with them and Geed must implement it otherwise his show-off for Somalia is immaterial.

This thread is related to it's sister thread E-passport.. Originally posted by Northerner: ps I need a passport to buy freehold in area of the UAE which my UK passport cant get me. A Somali passport will make me an Arab which will let me buy that property. So please arrange a passport for: Northerner Al Burcaawi Bin Maxamuud At the beginning of the thread I suggested to PM Geed and his cabinet to formulate a system of “Citizenship Oath” in which all Somalis who apply for the new E-Passport pledge that they are not overtly or covertly engaged in unlawful activities in order to perpetuate the mass abduction and imprisonment of the communities in the northwest of the country. In other words, the Somali Federal traveling documents must not be granted to these who are working day and night to dismember the Somali Republic. I think this suggestion is Legitimate. For one thing, the secessionists are so drunk in their dreams that they believe their own passport is acceptable all over the world. But, knowing the fraudulent and deception practices of the SNM gang organization when push comes to shove and they realize their movements are restricted in Hargeisa-Burao-Barbar triangle, those who are not currently holding foreigner passports will secretly apply for the E-Passport. Mr. Geed and his cabinet can not feed the hands that are trying to destroy the Somali Republic. There are a good number of secessionists who are living in Arab Gulf countries with the old Somali Democratic Republic passports without which their residence permits are invalidated. The extremists of them are living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. While I am not advocating disruption of the livelihood of some Somali families, these extremists must be put to test to live with their principle for the claim of “sovereignty of the northwest Somalia”. They must be either Somali citizens or not Somali citizens. There is another group who are extremely harmful to the unity of the Somali people. Most of these reside in the western democracies and majority of them have no real profession and live on the doll. They have either European, North American or Australian passports and can freely travel all over the globe without visa requirements. Because majority of them can not find meaningful work in theirs respective host countries, they are engaged day and night in spreading the propaganda for the SNM gang organization. When they collect enough finance from the welfare money and from child assistance programs, they fly to Hargeisa in order to act as “spiritual consultants” and moral supporters for the gang. If you ask me why they do this, on a personal level, each of them sees himself or herself as a potential ambassador or cabinet minister if and when the dream materializes. These secessionists who are holding foreign passports must be stopped in their tracks before they tear the nation apart. Mr. Geed, if you are listening this is how to deal with the enemy within. Entry and exit visas must be required from any person or persons traveling to and from Somalia (Somali E-Passport holders are exempted, of course). Since the Somali Republic airports are semi dysfunctional, under the U.N.’s international terrorist act, you can place your own Somali immigration officers at the major airport hubs such Abu Dhabi, Djibouti, Nairobi and Addis to verify the validity of the traveling documents of anyone going to or coming from Somalia. Same arrangements must be made at border crossing points, too. My main concern for suggesting a blanket requirement for visa and placing official at the airports of the neighboring countries, is to restrict the movement of the known secessionists. This must be the last world tour Riyaale undertakes. But, there will be bonus for you, sir and for the U. S. government. The visas will generate hard currency for the federal government. There will be some comfort the American government will receive in knowing who goes to Somalia and who comes from her. If not then I'll just get a recommendation from the Somali Embassy (if you can call it that) in Abu Dhabi But you have to come in person and take the oath. By the way, it must be one of the two. Individual like you should send delegates to the Somali peace talks in Mog.. or you should sell your properties before the market values comes down because all the old Somali passports will be recalled and if you do not prove yourself to be a true citizen of Somalia your privilege of holding these properties will be withdrawn. Now let see how fast Mr. Qurac will say, “shove it up to your “a22””

^^If you really believe your cause and that you are part of "the hidden democracy in Africa", you know how democracies work. Instead of defending the undependable by playing the "word game", why do not you just demand his resignation and subsequent arrest? I think if you and other in the same boat did long time ago, that the world would have taken you seriously.

Duke, the point is not if Waraabe, the hyena, and his goons can or can't inflict pain on these Somalis who are against their mad scheme for dismembering the Somali Republic. But in a public forum, Waraabe incited his followers to commit genocide against whoever disagrees with him. The point of this thread is to put a notice to the western democracies that Waraabe freely travels amongst them. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP, regret nobody informed them that Leon Mugesaa of Rwanda was inciter of war crimes while living in Montreal.

Originally posted by Jacaylbaro: Nayruus, you seem to be so excited sxb ,,,, It seems you didn't see THIS ........... That means no more flights to Hargeisa. Were you so excited to prove me wrong? The defense of the Hargeisa municipality’s repellent entity now revolves on word play and petty disagreements on the way events are reported. JB, in the other thread on this issue, you are arguing with Mr.Gordon Gekko you guys initiated the cancellation of the Ethio airline flights to Hargeisa. You know that you are lying just to try to score a cheap point. Right now I am listening to BBC Somali live (2:00PM Somali local time) and Warancade (the owner of a white spear) is saying that they were told (waxa naloo sheegay) by Ethio authorities that flights will cease. And you came up with a threat titled SNM Gang Gov. Suspended Ethiopian Airlines. Laughable, walaahi

More humiliation.... The third in command in the SNM gang by the name of Cirro refused last Thursday to empty his pocket for Tigrean security personal stationed at Hargeisa Airport and resisted body search before embarking Ethio plane. source. The consequence of Cirro’s action for the house of bubbles built on the foundation of fantasy “separation” of the northwest Somalia from the rest of the motherland is damaging. The Ethio Airlines has cancelled its flights to Hargeisa . Why did not he just take off his pant like Riyaale did a couple of weeks ago when he was leaving for Europe? Is Cirro’s “aristocratic blood” warmer than the Riyaale’s Awdal blood? The damp fool could not foresee the consequence of his action. The absence of Ethio flights to Hargeisa is gong to force the gang to rent chartered planes for their ambitious mission to dismember the Somali Republic and subsequently skyrocket the travel budget. The end result is more “Isbaaros” will be build in the municipal taxation system leading ordinary citizens to suffer. Since there is no major Airline to that part of Somalia, the claim for sovereignty is going to evaporate into murky clouds. Now,let us wait and see what the dead horse beater Mr. Basdhir Gorth has to come up with to minimize the damage done to his,anyways, unsellable product .

Effective on July 1, 2007, all passports issued by former Somali Government will become invalidated. Booramanews.com When issuing the new Somali passport, the TFG is obliged to come up with mechanism and safeguards to make sure the Somali traveling documents must only be issued to the citizens of Somali Republic. As it happens in other countries, any applicant for Somali passport who sees himself or herself as alien to the Republic (e.g. secessionists in the northwest) , has first be required to become a citizen of “good standing”. Since all institutions of governmenance have broken down and we do not have reliable source to distinguish who genuinely believes he or she is a citizen of the Republic, we must use our Islamic faith. I strongly suggest to PM Geed and his cabinet to pass a by-law requiring each citizen to undergo an oath process in which he or she clarifies, without doubt, that he or she believes the unity of Somali Republic. The reasoning is simple. You can not issue documents carrying the symbol of the Republic to traitors who are working day and night to the destruction of the state. The citizen verification mechanism must also involve an official form titled “Citizenship Oath” with spaces for personal data, photo, the consequence of lying under oath from some holy Quranic verses , and signature. The form must be an addendum to normal passport paper work. The new Somali passport must only be issued in person and the people supervising the process must be nationalists selected on incorruptibility criteria. Walaahu aclam

The Finnish authorities have to take action against this crazy man Faysal Waraabe’s descent into moral Barbarism By Ahmed A. Hassan June 9, 2007 Something curious has happened in the Somali peninsula since the civil war. Most Somalis have become too accustomed to hatred. This has become a force that has displaced the values and culture of the Somali people and is spread by non other than the nation’s so called politicians and opinion makers. Although average people do not subscribe to this sort of bigotry, none would deny the fact that overall collective relations among the sectors of the Somali society is no longer as good as it was in the not so distant past. “If we are worrying about committing genocide against these people [the people of Sanaag & Sool] we will never be able to realize our goal of establishing a state.” Conscientious people are still trying to make people aware of the negative outcome of spreading hatred in the society. Yet, bigots are still at large and many of the core values of the Somali society are losing ground at a remarkable rate. This politics of hate that has been setting the political agenda of today’s Somalia is a new phenomenon that has deeply penetrated the psyche of the Somalis of today. Sectarianism and clanism are more influential today in Somalia than in its past history. Astonishingly in this homogenous society this kind of politics plays the same role that racialism played in the history of European fascism. Unlike many of their counterparts in the west, bigots in Somalia do not have discernible paraphernalia that sets them apart from ordinary folks such as tattoos, black boots, brown shirts and / or ear-rings. However, they are as much consumed by venomous fury for the so called other as their counterparts in the west. One such politician is “Somaliland’s” Faysal Ali Waraabe (the Hyena) who thrives on the politics of division and hatred. He can be described as the poster boy of today’s Somali interahamwes (Hutu death squads). Mr. Waraabe is a former collaborator of the previous military dictatorship of Siyad Barre who has successfully reinvented himself as a hardcore advocate for the secession of the north. To cover this shameful past he has become famous for his thoughtless diatribes and hate message that he often directs at the pro union regions of northern Somalia and of course the Somalis from the South. The Hyena’s Fervent Call to Genocide In a recent debate between the leadership of the three recognized political parties of “Somaliland”, Mr. Waraabe who is the chairman of the third party (UCID), avowed his belief that Somaliland can achieve recognition - only and only if - it ethnically cleanses and commits genocide against the people of the eastern regions of northern Somalia. He chastised the leadership of Somaliland for failing to bring the eastern regions into their fold. He further rhetorically stated: “If we are worrying about committing genocide against these people [the people of Sanaag & Sool] we will never be able to realize our goal of establishing a state.” He reaffirmed also his distorted belief that only a state that is ready to shed others blood can expect to be recognized as a nation on its own. Even though Mr. Waraabe was described by many as “ill educated, not brainy and in some cases foolish”, nonetheless his venomous rhetoric should be taken seriously as he is a public figure who has some influence on at least some of the populace in Somaliland. Worrisome Silence What is worrisome, however, is the absolute mute response from the leadership and the masses of Somaliland. A number of questions arise with regard to this. There can be no dispute surely that these messages are agitations to commit murder and genocide against fellow Somalis, who happen to share culture, religion and kinship with Waraabe’s own constituency in Somalia’s northern regions. They go beyond the routine tirade of hate speech and are actually intended to have a chilling effect on a large segment of the people of the northern regions. In Somaliland dissent from the dominant orthodoxy of secession is treasonable which in democratic societies would have been considered fundamental and necessary for the vigor and vitality of democratic governance. Indeed, it is so to the extent that their commitment to democracy bears serious questioning. A case in point is the expulsion of Mr. Jama Mohamed Qaalib, one of the most prominent pro unity leaders in the nation, as well as others from Hargeisa simply because of their faith in united, stable and peaceful Somalia. The language Mr. Waraabe used in his call for mayhem and slaughter was akin to the language used and sentiments put forward by the German Nazi and self styled expert on Jews: Julius Streicher, who used his newspaper, Der Stuermer, to disseminate hate against Jews. He was sentenced to death by the Nuremberg Tribunal for his murderous incitement. In this context also one can recall that the International Tribunals for Rwanda handed down life sentences to Hutu Radio Broadcasters/Commentators for inciting listeners to “hatred and murders.” In the dark alleyways of hate Mr. Waraabe’s call for genocide is not matched anywhere in past Somali history hindering the pursuit of peace in the entire Somali peninsula. . Dangers of political extremism What is especially worrying is that this ideology has now secured representation in the government of Somaliland — albeit one that navigates the spectrum from the unquestionably minor to the definitely absurd. The danger posed by Waraabe, given that his party counts amongst its members influential elders, politicians and other professionals, is the threat it constitutes to the peaceful coexistence of the society. His party seems to be in the forefront of defining, propagating and consolidating the orthodoxy of the times. In this respect the administration of Somaliland has to conform as a fellow traveler or open itself up to the charge of overlooking such accepted belief by its silence on its most detestable aspects. Otherwise it should take the lead in challenging and exposing it for what it is — institutionalized hate parading as love of a country. Mr. Waraabe is most secure within the corridors of influence and power in the portals of Somaliland and he has not been asked yet to explain himself. The administration and leadership of Somaliland, in any event, has treated us to their version of the “either you are with us or against us” school of governance. There was a time when they themselves dealt in opposition; now it is with turncoats, it seems. Hate and division The UCID party and its leader are the vicious comic strips of the ideological keystone of hatred and clanism. What is especially mystifying is how people of good standing in its midst and in the Somaliland populace in general can condone the public propagation of such sentiments of hate. Since we have yet to see a member from the leadership of Mr. Waraabe’s party who has publicly differed with his call for ethnic cleansing, than we have no choice but to assume that they share also his ill will for his fellow compatriots and nefarious philosophy. At a time of conflict and of one in which the human rights and humanitarian situation in Somalia cries out for help, material as well as moral, one would have expected that people of good will would rise to the occasion to spread the message of hope, compassion, reconciliation and unity, rather than that of hate and division. Likewise the common men and women of Somaliland with their religious leaders, academics and intellectuals who are the ones who bequeethed legitimacy to organizations like Mr. Waraabe’s should demand accountability from their leaders. However, sadly it seems that is not the case. It is a measure of the crisis we are caught in these trying times and the challenges we need to confront. Another concern is the general public’s acceptance of propaganda of this malicious kind. This is complemented by the placid acceptance of hate in the public domain. These are often written off as mere politics of little or no concern and harmless diatribes. Concluding remarks What is of concern here is the absence of resentment and disgust in respect to the Somali public affairs. This suggests the collective numbing of moral compassion throughout the more than the two decades of civil war and the vilification shaped by violent zero sum politics. Atrocious acts have become an every day occurrence in the Somali peninsula, and yet people of good conscious fail to standup to these moral perverts. What does the leadership of UCID has to say about this? What is the public’s response to Mr. Waraabe’s call for genocide?” As the space for standing up for what is a right contract and as moral principles, become things of the faint distant past, hope for the future too will retreat. It is time for the people of Somaliland and their civic organizations to stand up and be counted in a collective effort to reverse the slide into a clanish political culture which will be the plaything of narrow and exploitive politicians. Where are the voices of Somaliland’s intellectuals, the half dozen Hargeysa-based Human Rights organizations, the Somaliland Forum, and other civil society groups? It is time that Mr. Waraabe and like minded ilk were told by the public at large that their politics of hate and malice stemming from some deep sense of hurt, no doubt, cannot determine the future of Somalis. Hate will ultimately destroy everyone. Ahmed A. Hassan E-mail:ahmedh60@gmail.com source

Way ku dhibcaysaa, war meeshu ku fiicanaa, yaa salaaaaam

Bokero, Sir, I salute you. I know the crowd around here has disappointed you. Your intentions and the way you see things are quite interesting. Rarely do I come across Somalis like you. I have seen many Somali Diaspora expressing excellent ideas on how to better improve the conditions in our country. But it is rare to find a group of Somalis that are collectively moving from talking stage into an action stage. Do not misunderstand me. Yes, there are tribal charities struggling to do something about local needs. But, who can tell me any Diaspora organization or open network of Somalis with higher education who are actively engaged to bring Somalis closer to each other or doing something about the condition back home. For this issue, this is my suggestion. You see my brother, helping a group of refuges in Kenya, although a noble idea on individual level, is not going to be comprehensive solution for all other Somalis suffering somewhere on the globe. What we need and can do in the comfort of our homes and offices is to have a group of western educated Somalis whose members is no less than 100, composed of forensic accountants, essayists, economists, lawyers, engineers, international trade specialists, doctors, charities coordinators or if possible from every discipline or trade to form a network . The goal of the network must be to follow the footsteps or the circulation of EVERY DENOTED Dollar in the name of Somalis i.e. how that dollar was spent and why it was spent. Does the utility driven from spending that dollar equate its value? Many of us are citizens of major donors to third world countries. We can demand information, data, explanations etc. If we suspect any wrong doing by NGOs or by the UN organizations, we can expose them in the media. In short, what we need to form is one tough s.o.b. watchdog…. Where are the sons and daughters of Somalia to undertake this clanless noble work? Undoubtedly, if this kind of network comes into life, the condition “hellish refugee camps in Yemen or Kenya” would have a different look.. Nayruus Originally posted by Bokero: If there is any race that is synonymous, refugeedom is us, we have single handily created jobs for ten of thousands of UN and NGO staff … We have soaked the earth with blood, and tears. We have destroyed our already poor infrastructure.. The world laughs, and pities us,… but we seem to have no an ounce of shame… Our father generation have failed us!!! But I don’t understand why Dispora determined are, to keep us in the abyss… why are we adamant to learn nothing from our catastrophe!!! The Diaspora failure, may lay in their comfort. We don’t to live in dusty, dehumanising, rat infected, hellish refugee camps in Yemen or Kenya… this means we can continue to intellectualise hate in our comfortable houses in the West.. I want to suggest that SOL arranges a mission to Dabaab refugee camp in Northern Kenya, or Yemen for SOL member to see with their own eyes what we have done to ourselves, its one thing reading about it, another seeing how Somali leadership and their cheerleaders (us), have destroyed soul of the people and reduced them to a short and brutish life.…. I will volunteer to make the necessary arrangement and TOR for the Mission… Each participant will be required to pay, for their ticket and substance… I await you feedback
