Guys, in the context of the current situation, his message is to the point. Only a fool, the gullible public in the north and those interested with cash deals in Mogadishu would believe the propaganda called Somaliland—Somalia talks. There were times when Somalia was just The unsecure South Central Somalia. Why would Puntland or Southwest, Jubbaland and Hir-Shabellr would accept the false notion of a cash strapped tribal enclave to be any different than them. Why would they respect an old dinosaur that can’t build basic institutions for 30 years. They know they could be better if they got the hundred of millions given to them by the donors. Somaliland had the opportunity to showcase and lead when it had the chance but they blew it. Both Ahmed Samatar and Cali Khalid are using a false unsustainable schemes to cover their surrender to the separatists. Marka Hore Gobolada Woqooyi ayaan isku keenaynaa Kadibna Inaga OO wada socona Ayaan Koonfurta U Tagaynaa. Faysal Waraabe was saying to Farmaajo, “ Anagu Finalkii baan Joognaa, koonfur in Ay Soo Kala Baxdo ayaan u taaganshay. Wan go’aynaafii Jeebka ayaa si ku meel gaadh ah loo geliyey. Why would the secessionist want to spilt blood for future unity? I don’t think so.Why would the people of Sool have to die for the false notion of preserving the doomed agenda while they can have their own region under their control. A freind called me the other day and told me that as long as their is Puntland, the separatists won’t go far. Waar iska Seexo oo Danshaaga qabso nimankaasa hawsha ku Filane . Despite what the false and emotional nationalist of Farmaajo and company say, Somalinimo resides in Puntland. Somaliland talks and behaves according to those it deals. If you stay your ground and calls like it is , they will crawl and beg. They have been nurtured by the TPLF and the weakling leadership of the last two leaders of Puntland. I do believe that this Tough Reer Mudug has what it takes to depose Ina Biixi. You do not need a big war or huge clashes in Tukaraq were young lives could be lost on both sides. The main campaign is political. Gaas. needs to dismantle the occupational infrastructure built on bribery, divide and conquer, and the employment of the people the Great Daraaeiish used to call “Rayid “ who used to work for the British at the turn of the century. By the way, a just talked to an Awdalite guy who just came from Puntland last week and will convey his message soon without filtering.

This C/weli Gaas should be the next president of Somalia. absolutely. He is confident.

Biixi through Faysal said, " Farmaajo ii geeya"

He has shown strong leadership, courage in these tough times. He and most of us who know history understand the false narrative of " Wadahadalka Sadaqada iyo sooryada" Somaliland and Somaalia. Sida uu sheegay C/weli waa faan iyo been lagu buunbuuninayo , beena loogu sheegayo shacabka. Neither Farmaajo nor Hassan Sheikh or the Mogadishu cliq will bring or allow to dismantling of Somalia, As long as Puntland is led by people like C/weli , who knows history, and destiny, Somalia will not disintegrate.

Allah ha kuu Naxariisto C/laahi qarshe. Certainly he left a great legacy. He was the original walaalaha Hargeisa of late fifties.

Caradaa Keliga Adigaa u Curade Cadceeda sideeda caan noqo e.

Let me repeat , " Soomaaliyey Toosoo" is not he the national anthem song. Toosoo, sang by Qasim Hilawle was African resistance song. If you read some of the lyrics such as " Ikhtiyaar nin loo diidoo la adoonsadaan Ahaye" roughly means, " I am an slaved who were denied freedom" It was just easy song for some and Kacaanka chose later years.

They make people disappear. Mobsters do not talk to media

Look, in Africa the intelligence chiefs do not make speeches. Especially those who run one party state. Their job is to eliminate opposition and those who challenge the system. Are you saying Illey has done all this crimes by himself vand he is trying to save himself from future investigation . Many of His victims are out the country and will sue. We want Mr. Getachew to testify for these crimes. If he is advising Abiy , then that is even better. He and Abiy must be brought to justice.

Some Somalis joined the Oromo Kilil because of their fear and oppression of Illey

He broke them. They will rape the girl in front of her dad and then kill them. They torture , beet them and throw from the car while driving. This worst than we thought

This speech was heard by over hundred people who were present. Abiy or someone told him probably to confess and blame the crimes on the TPLF tugs. I said before that Illey was just a prison warden killing and oppressing on behalf of the TPLF.

I knew all along that the war between the Oromo and Somalis were orchestrated by TPLf. As the war raged on they started a propaganda campaign and told us that the Oromo is going to eat the Somali children. Here in SOL, they sent from Jijiga a guy named Old Observer and flooded the pages about the danger of Oromo. From day one, I knew the plot. If we didn't speak out, this conflict could have killed hundreds of thousands. Usually, The Intelligence officers accompanied with Liyuu police murdered and burned villages and towns at down before the sunrise, and when the Oromo wakes up to the indiscriminate killings, they take revenge on the Somalis incrementally. Sometimes, the intelligence and the TPLf military will collect Somalis and put them in one place for protection. After their nightly raid, they used to abandon the helpless Somalis and the mob would murder. A world criminal court must investigate these crimes and Illey must testify.

Toggle menu Skip to content Abdi Iley: “I Was a Tool for TPLF” Admin Jul 12, 2018 Ethiopia / Home / News / Politics0 Comments In a bizarre speech that Abdi Mohamoud Omer, aka Abdi Iley, gave to the Somali Region House of Representatives today, he claimed that everything he did for the last ten years was direct orders from Getachew Assefa, the former chief of National Intelligence and Information Services, and other TPLF military Generals. We summarized the excerpts from the long and free flow address that Abdi Iley made during a session by the region’s parliament. **** “I was a tool for TPLF. They [TPLF] did have a gun on my head all this time. I was also giving every penny of the Region’s budget as a ransom payment to a few Tigres [meaning TPLF General and other key politicians].” “I will tell you everything today. Every order to kill or cause a crisis was coming from them [TPLF]”, he continued. “They [TPLF] are the ones who were ordering the killings, I was just doing it to save myself. Every massacre in the Region was also ordered by Getachew Assefa [he said that with a curse word]. He [Getachew Assefa] is also behind the Oromo-Somali conflict. Do you think that Oromos and Somalis would just go into war without someone being behind it, he asked?” “All the mistakes I have made were because of Getachew Assefa. Getachew Assefa held a gun on our head and asked us to do what he wants us to do. “He [Getachew Assefa] is the man who was holding on Hailemariam’s head for 6 years, referring to the former prime minister.” According to Abdi Iley, he even at times kidnaped the wife of the former prime minister Hailemariam.” In this bizarre speech, even to Abdi Iley’s standard, he also said this: “The rumor of my resignation was spread by Getachew Assefa, who wants bags of money as he used to get.” In the same speech, he also claimed that prime minister Abiy Ahmed is a God sent, a prophet and Lemma Meggerssa [Oromia Regional President] is like his disciple.” In what seemed to be someone who is disturbed and out of character while also lacking his usual bravado, he declared that “he is ready to work with them and be part of the changes that are taking place in the country.” In this speech that was like no other, he also seemed conciliatory. He declared, though it lacked authenticity and seemed to be aimed to just buy time, that “our people need to forgive each other. Those who are dead will not come back. Let’s forget what they [TPLF] did to us. We also need to stop silencing dissidents with lethal force to the point of killing the person. We should be able to have a dinner together while having a different point of views”. While continuing this speech that will be for the ages, He remarked sarcastically, “Let’s also pray for those who have been massacred. Haday joogaan way iska shidaalysan lahaayeen[meaning, if they were here today, they would have celebrated the commencement of crude oil production in the Somali Region].” The other remark that also raised some eyebrows is this: “I am calling for the rest of Ethiopian people for neighborly coexisting, especially our foremost neighbor, our brothers the Oromos, since the devils who were instigating all this violence between us are finally caught.” What is also interesting is the fact that he held what amounted to a press conference that he raised the same talking points covered in this piece, but in a rather constrained fashion. The Regional parliament’s session is expected to continue for tomorrow!

They said, " Waa meesha hawlaha lagu kala furayo. Puntalnd is the head of " Dawlad goboleedyada" , who knows , they may disarm the Jeegaan within without firing a bullet. From our our part , we will be sending a delegation from Awdal to contradict the new warlord Ahmed Samatar. Dhulka Soomaaliyeed nabad baan ku dhex mari jirnay from Zaylac to Kismaayo, markaa kaadhka keliya ee aan haysano waa kaas , ma rabno in nalaga gubo.

Puntland ma Addis ayey noqotay . Everyone one is going there even the Jeegaan.

Maakhiri1, you might not get not get your wish. A Jeegaan delegation has landed in Garoowe. They are hiding but the word is out.

furthermore, conventional wisdom says, " Stay clear of the Khomeini style revolution" the Oromo and others are ridding or you will be a victim of it and no one will remember you. This Abiy guy didn't fire his big guns as of yet other the small bomb in Addis rally which he used as an excuse to eliminated most of the police hierarchy in the capital.

Oh, by the way, I forgot the most important action Cabdi Illey must make during this transition period. Cut ties to the separatists and those who are working to balkanize Somalia. Most of the population of the Ethiopian zone might be tribal like any other ethnic Somalis, yet their biggest dream and desire is the restoration of the Somali Republic. They want their big brother back in the Horn of Africa. If you do that , definitely you will get some sympathy from the Somalis outside the Zone. If you keep acting like a mercenary paid to dismember Somalia, then we might even collect money and try to bring you to the world war crime courts in Hague. Do not listen to mr. Old Observer who loves Somali enclaves some strategic reasons.

To be honest, I do not have real solutions for the Somali Zone. Yet, I do believe because of the weaknesses of Illey vis a vis to Oromo and others, we could lose more territory . OO, The Tigray are too far to help you, and the Affar are poor and insignificant to do any changes, that is why both the Affaar and the Somali zone are not among the four ruling groups of EPRDF (Amhara, Oromo, Tigray and Southern Nations). The Southern nations are hundred mixed tribes and can aspire to be independent. So, as Somalis, we shouldn't be fighting for the future plans of the TPLF. The difference with Amhara and Tigray is mostly pride or for fear of TPLF of Amhara domination. One another an related topic, I want the Muslim Oromo to replenish ,intermarry and increase the dying Somali ethnic group. If you go any Somali major city today, you can't find an able body Somali who can work in construction sites, restaurants, auto mechanics or even barbers. Let them assimilate and join among our ranks. Do not allow the TPLf, the Amhara and others to use our neighbors against us. Waa digniin. Haddii kale Hargeisa, Borama, Boosaaso iyo Kismaayo ayey Soomalida Ethiopia wada iman.

Holac, If Cabdi Illey want to use article 39 and seperate the Somali zone from Ethiopia he got my vote. I will forget and forgive his crimes, because delivering the region from the yokes of Abyssinia is the biggest victory any Somali leader can claim in modern history. This false article 39 is purposely created for Tigray to opt out if the Ahmara comes back to power in Ethiopia. If the TPLF is serious about separation, let them take the first step and will follow the, Also remember, the larger Somali public in the zone, including the elite , hate Abdi Illey. Some might consider his independence move as ploy to prolong power and the Ethiopia forces will arm rival tribes which will lead to a civil war. The moment they realizing the zone is slipping from the hands of Ethiopia , they will destroy within. Believe me there is enough fuel to start the mayhem. If The DDSI council elects a new leader while keeping the political, security and administrative structure, the zone might survive and allow the Somalis to regroup. In the meantime Illey should keep freeing prisoners, create new legitimate regions based on population and geography and open trade with Somalis. Who knows, he might get some goodwill from the people and buy some time. Also, I am a realist , and if Illey could protect and keep the Somali territory from others, i might even overlook his past crimes.. Somalis lost more territory to Cabdi Illey than we gained.He spent his time oppressing Somalis and he forgot his own people and land. As we speak there is war going on in Tulli just south east of Jijiga were a lot of people had died from Somalis and Oromo, yet, he didn't even sent a police or security people to stop the conflict. Everyone is taking advantage of his former notoriety and crimes to take advantage and take revenge. OO, I know you want to protect the interest of Djibouti and Afaar entities, but the Somali zone doesn't use the Djibouti route for trade that much.I fact, Awdal coast, Berbera and Puntland could take advantage of trade liberalization in the Somali Zone. Djibouti is not my business, Ghelle could rent some the beeches to Russians and others. .Asmara has been the prefered port of Amhara and Tigray, and the Addis business area. We want to open more economic trades within the Somali region, from Boosaaso to Berbera, Zaylac and between. The eastern Oromo in Hararghe zones should be trading with Somalis. Alliances are formed or fought through politics which pits against your neighbor. Why would a man in Gabiley and West Hargeisa disconnect his neighborly ties with those in the Awdal and South Hargeisa and join the Jeegaan in East Burco one thousand km away?. Because he want to hold the power and loot the meagre resources. The Oromo were always our neighbors, yet for political reasons they put their lot with those Amhara who oppressed them for 500 years. I do believe that there is still an opportunity to live with our Oromo brothers as our neighbors and fellow countrymen in Ethiopia. I also believe a changing of guard in Jijiga could bring a new leader with totally different outlook than Illey. If the Eritrean blockade and war where 100,000 men died in a battle could be reversed within weeks, why not sit down with " Grand Shir" and restart a new relationship with Oromo. Khadaafi, I said before, Abiy Ahmed is deeply Ethiopian. His cultural background transcends the labeling of the ethnic stamp. Of course he is riding with the Oromo wave which will help him even if fair and free elections are held. Analysts say that Abiy will take over Ethiopia within a year or two with landslide elections and will rule the next 10 years. The Amhara will ride his horse for now and will prepare to take over within a decade. He is riding Khomeini style revolution with mob zeal. Last week , he told his followers to no longer demonstrate and begged them to slow down.. If he want to hang someone, the mob will do it for him. Despite all that, I agree with you that if they do not stop him in the next 12 months, the TPLF will have to hide under the desk because they will e stopped on like cockroaches. They do not have the political geography or the demographic numbers to rule again. Their time is done. Their best option is that they got the best military officers and soldiers to secede from Ethiopia.
