The fact remains, the Man never landed anywhere near your enclave and you can't even decide whether he works for the president, prime minister or even whether he is a minister or a mere spokesman!. Any decent website worth it's weight in salt would be able to make a good background check before printing such rubbish. LEIS & LIES

Abdishakur Ali Mire is a Deputy Minister of Information and is not a spokesman. He was addressing the Media in his capacity as a Minister. He has not Visited Somaliland before and has no plans to do so. In Short You LIED, admit it and move on, the more you claim a lie is true which it won't , the more SAD and pathetic you all look. Now, can you verify your claims from any source other your obscure rubbish syndicate websites of Somaliland which no doubt you fed this rubbish to? FAKE!!!

Your claims have no basis and no matter what obscure website you quote which are simply rehearsing the rubbish from your Somaliland websites the news is still FAKE!. The good minister has no reason to lie and yes he has been in Mogadishu for the past week!. Ok your colleague above claims it is the President's spokesman and you xaaji claim it is the Prime Minister''s spokesman .Both leaders do not have such posts in their offices, something you obviously have no knowledge of!. FAKE is FAKE. Trying to be relevant is one thing, but this is SAD!

Ok, now you secessionists are quite confused. Can you all get together and decide which "individual" you detained?. First you claimed that you detained the deputy Minister of Information posts and Telecommunication of the Federal Government of Somalia and you claimed he was the prime Minister's spokesman, a COMPLETE LIE as I spent the afternoon with the man and he hadn't been to Somaliland before!. Now in your latest post above you claim that it is yet another person whoc this time is the President's spokesman!!!!. Do us a favour, go back to Adeer Silaanyo, tell him to convene an emergency meeting and decide on which person they wish to claim they detained!, we in Mogadishu are quite amused by this loll

Haters!, know this, Muqdisho is the nation's capital and despite the issues it faced the past 20 odd years, it is recovering and will take it's rightful place InshalaAllah

Never in my life have I seen such lies being told with straight faces Subhannallah!. If you are planning to lie, at least tell a believable lie!. The man they claim they detained is busy laughing at this and had no idea such lies were being told of him. I had to show him this thread to which he was quite shocked!.One other thing, the PM doesn't have a spokesman lol ADMIN: please delete this Rubbish!

FAKE!!

War beenta aad meesha la ordooysaan joojiya!. I personally spoke to him and we had lunch today with a few other people. In fact one of them had travelled with him all the way from London and they never touched down on Somaliland areas. They flew from London, arrived in Nairobi a week ago and transited there leaving 24hrs later for Mogadishu on a direct flight. This is bloody FAKE!

I spoke to him and he never went anywhere near Somaliland!!. He has been in Mog the past 7 days and he came from Nairobi after arriving there from London. I am not late, you posted FAKE News ya Xaaji. Stop feeding people this crap will ya!

This story is fake!!!. I just saw abdishakur ali mire in mog 10 minutes ago!!!. Xaaji come on!

This is a Minister of the State and boy have you guys asked for trouble!.

You can sugar coat it all you want, this is clear kidnapping

That should be enough! Lol

I rest my case!. Sincerely though this is a dangerous trend and in the end they might dangle the recognition In front of you With a proviso that you "pick up the soap". Just how far would you go?

Dont give xaaji a hard time. War xaaji, boobka aqoonsigii ma ka soo dhameese sxb? Loool. I can just about imagine xaaji doing that. War iska ilaali odeyga, JB horey u sheegey camal.

Ten ministers and each minister with two or in many cases 3 deputies. They are equally represented in the deputies too unless of course folks from say borama for instance are not considered as part of somaliland?.

I was being provocative, but suprised at the amount of support given by his folks here on the site l. Subxannalah!, would you support him even After attacking the masjid building programmes?. The least i was expecting was a big"he speaks only for himself" stand. Most other somalis Would probably have done that. Deeply dissapointed at this outcome walahi

True they are frustrated with Mr Hassan culusow and his policies thus misery loves company if you look it from that perspective. But you cant blame them really for to be fixated with Somaliland, Puntland role in Somalia is diminishing with the new goverment its becoming a small insignificant province, with no political weight. They also lost their agents in Xamar no more Prime Minsters in the federal government even the Pirate Minister in Xamar is dam jadiid:D So faroole's last desperate attempt was to make Somaliland an ally with his enclave. The sad part was his words were entirely ignored. Also how hassan culusow downplayed their role in the whole jubbaland project with one trip the gedo PM visited garowe. I am sure Oday is a pirate i used to think he was gedo community because he was to involved in southern Somalia but it makes sense now. Ha ha ha ha!, glad i am keeping you busy lol. As for my tribe ...... I am who i am and you will never be able to guess my tribe/clan in a million years lol. Keep em coming. Now on a more serious note, stop going crazy, achieve your goals without resorting to tauntrums. Like it or not the government is inclusive and has a number of somalilandrs in key senior positions with great weight. What more do you want?. Stop being greedy and enjoy being "Somali" Again!

I do recall a famous speech by your waraabe fella who said " The child in hargeisa is more related to the child in Addis than in Xamar",today you are flogging yourselves at the turks, Israel and on offer is "anything you want" tomorrow you will be selling yourselves to us in Xamar as you used to. I am not looking forward to that day again, I don't know what you ended up catching in between ...........actually you don't even deserve our attention. We will simply represent you properly as one does when he leads a nation!.

InshaAllah Brother!

This guy's name is Abdirahman Mohamed Diiriye- SL boy currently based in Addis. I nearly threw up reading this. Ever since I was born I could hear the waves of hatred and prejudice pouring upon Jews for unexplained reasons, but apparently associated with the Arab-Israeli conflict, which Somalia was not a part of. During Siad Barre (Somali dictator from 1969 to 1991), there was an Arabization program in Somalia that entailed the hatred of Jews as part of a standardized process of Arabization of our formerly non-Arab country. When crisis erupted in Somalia and the lights went out in the 1990s, it became obvious that Somalia had been abandoned; no country acted to alleviate the Somalis’ enormous suffering. Somalia has received various kinds of aid over the years, from various sources, but in the post-Cold War era, as Somalia’s strategic importance to the great world powers has waned, the country has effectively been left to rot. Its healthcare infrastructure, for example, is damaged to a degree which seems irreparable. Somalis seeking urgent medical care thus must often cross the border into Ethiopia, or seek treatment further abroad. I am not a doctor by profession, but have served for many years as an interpreter for Somalis seeking medical care in Ethiopia. It was in this capacity that Special Adviser to the President of Somalia Dr. Omar Dihoud and I met with Mohammed Mohamud and Farah on March 4 at the Nati Hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, prior to their 9 p.m. departure for Tel Aviv. It was a remarkable occasion for all of us. The two young men were overjoyed, but also a little shocked; they hadn’t expected anything other than rejection from the Israelis they had been taught all their lives to consider “immortal enemies.” “When we were told Israeli embassy in Addis Ababa had granted us the visas, it blew our minds!” said “We’re grateful to the Hadassah organization that offered us to treat us. We’ve life threatening injuries and yet no money” to go to Germany for similar treatment, added, explaining that “[the treatment] costs a minimum of $100,000 for each of us.” “Our people, friends and families phoned us from all over the world when they heard the good news” Mohammed said with a broad smile. Their phones kept ringing all night long. Whether their treatment is successful or not, one thing is certain: the Hadassah organization’s place in the hearts of these two young men is secure Mohammed’s CT scan results are in front of me: “hyperdense foreign body noted (displaced skull bone fragment) ... Conclusion: (1) right occipito post-traumatic encephalomalacic cyst, (2) dense foreign body in the cranial cavity....” According to Mohammed, the foreign body lodged in his skull, is a bullet, which he says is the reason he’s paralyzed. His condition is critical, but treatment wasn’t available in Somalia or Ethiopia, so he was obliged to seek treatment overseas. However, he couldn’t afford the treatment, and had given up hope. Enter the State of Israel. Israel, which has one of the best healthcare systems in the world today, offered to fly Mohammed and Farah to Jerusalem, a holy city for Muslims, Jews and Christians alike, via Tel Aviv for the delicate surgery. Moreover, this wasn’t a unique occurrence; Israel has been engaged in this type of activity for quite some time, and hopefully will continue to do so until Somalia can rebuild its shattered health infrastructure. By way of comparison, in reply to those like Mohammed and Farah seeking health care assistance abroad, Saudi Arabian philanthropists say: We finance Madrassa and Haj tours for specific people who contacted our hidden representatives in Hargaysa or Islamabad. Indeed, the Saudis are obsessed with spreading the radical Wahabi cult to the poor masses of Somalia, and are prepared to give alms only if doing so serves this end. While willing to fund places of worship – as long as they fall in line with the Saudi brand of Islam – the Saudis at the same time, fuel so-called “jihad” from Afghanistan to Somalia, and bribe the major oil companies to prevent oil exploration in the Horn of Africa and beyond. In fact, it is Saudi “aid” that has kept Somalia at war for the past six years. The Al-Haramayn and Muntada Islami organizations feed orphans in Hargaysa and Mogadishu, true – but indoctrinate them at the same time. Raising jihadis under the banner of feeding the poor is an activity the Saudis have been engaged in since at least the 1990s. To truly care for an orphan is to raise them into adults capable of living independently, not into jihadis whose only purpose is to increase the number of new orphans. I call on Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to make a trip to the Holy Land, instead of wasting time in countries whose influence and contribution is quite limited, or comes with strings attached. Israel, the Silicon Valley of the Middle East, has the ability to help turn Somalia into a paradise in a short period – if our leaders can find the courage to ask. Many Somalis are unaware of the fact that Jews and Christians fall in the same category according to Islam: People of The Book (Ahlukitab in Arabic), and that it is no more wrong to seek help from Israel than from the predominantly Christian West. And we need to ask for the help of each, on grounds of common humanity rather than religious affiliation, clan or color. The Somali public is highly appreciative of Israel’s assistance to those in dire need, and will remain close friends with the people of Israel forever.

Start reconciling the differences of the people of Somalia I say!.
