Just a Summary of some of the things happening in the Occupied Somali region. Serious confrontation near Harar Wednesday, 25 November 2009 13:45 ONLF fighters According to information received by The Indian Ocean Newsletter, a deadly skirmish occurred on 16 November in a place known as Jaketa, situated between Harar and Babile in the east of Ethiopia. It pitted government soldiers of the South Eastern Command against unidentified rebel forces and is believed to have made several tens of victims among the government troops. Many of the wounded soldiers were treated at the Hiwot Fana Hospital and other hospitals in Harar. Although no organisation has yet officially claimed responsibility for this action, it is highly likely that those involved were ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) rebels, the most active group in this region. However, according to some witnesses, several of these attackers spoke to each other in the Amhara language, which is not so common in the ranks of the ONLF. They may have been instructors from outside this region of Ethiopia. This military confrontation occurred after arms were stolen in Harar at the beginning of the month, a theft attributed to ONLF rebels (ION 1273). Source: African Intelligence An Ethiopian town under high surveillance Saturday, 28 November 2009 23:52 In the afternoon and evening of 3 November, the town of Harar in the eastern part of the country was under high military surveillance. Some army vehicles carrying machine guns drove through the town, checking the streets. The reason for this movement was that arms had been stolen from a military depot in the town. A certain Major Hassan Warsame Mohamed was arrested and transfered to Addis Ababa, accused of collaborating with agents of the ******National Liberation Front (ONLF, armed opposition) to carry out the theft. According to certain local observers it is not unusual for government army officers, including Tigrayans, to be involved in illegal arms deals in Ethiopia. 6 Sargaal oo ka goostey Ciidamada Wayaanaha Monday, 30 November 2009 00:42 Wararka naga soo gaadhaya magalaada Addis Ababa ayaa sheegaya in Ciidamada Wayaanaha ay soo wajahdey niyad jab xoogan kadib dagaalkii Eebo Cadow ee ay Ciidamada ONLF fuliyeen Nov 11.

Zack ina adeer I lost the website, I think it was qorahay.com but you can find it on http://www.hiiraan.com/news2/2009/Nov/abusive_behavior_in_puntland.aspx, I also came upon on it on ethiopian review and Wardheernews.com/.

Congressman Donald Payne Tenth District - New Jersey For Immediate Release Contact: Kerry McKenney November 20, 2009 (202) 225-3436 In late October, the Puntland government arrested five men of ******i origin. These men came to Puntland using Somali travel documents provided by Somali authorities in Yemen. Puntland and Ethiopian security personnel, invited by Puntland authorities, interrogated the prisoners. One of the prisoners, Abdi Mohamed Hassan also known as “Abdi Teerso” was handed over to Ethiopian security. Another prisoner died while in custody. An elderly man from Puntland was arrested by Puntland authorities after he publicly criticized the government. This is not the first time Puntland authorities have harassed, tortured, killed, and handed over men of ******i origin to Ethiopian security. Over a year ago, two senior members of the ****** National Liberation Front (ONLF) were handed over to Ethiopian security by a Puntland minister. They came, with the permission of Puntland authorities, to discuss the murder of an elder. In June 2009, I invited President Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud (Farole) of Puntland to testify before my Subcommittee on Somalia. After the hearing, I discussed a number of issues with him, including the targeting and the handing over of ******is to Ethiopian authorities. I was assured then that this would not happen again and that the government would reach out to this community. In an effort to resolve the recent detention of the five men, I called the President of Puntland to discuss my concerns and strongly urged him to release them without delay. I even proposed that the men be sent to another country where they will be safe. A week passed and nothing happened. In mid-November, I met again with the President of Puntland and his Interior Minister in Kenya to urge them to release the three men still in detention in Puntland. Again, he pledged to find ways to pardon the prisoners. In fact, Puntland authorities are now threatening non-Puntland Somalis to leave some areas within 48 hours. I strongly condemn this abusive and dictatorial behavior and demand the immediate release of the prisoners. I also call for those responsible for the killing of the prisoner and intimidation of ******is to be held accountable, including senior officials who authorized these measures. Failure to act quickly on this matter will have serious consequences.

MARKAB WEYN OO QAADAYA 220 KUN OO NEEF OO ADHI AH OO LAGA RARAYO MARSADA BERBERA TOOSNA U GEYNAYA JEDAH Markab weyn oo qaadaya 220,000 neef oo adhi ah ayaa lagu rarayaa xoolihii ugu horeeyay ee saylada sacuudiga taga tan iyo marki xayiraadii sagaal sano saarneyd xoolaha Soomalida ay dawlada Sacuudi Carabiya ka qadday dhowaan. kkkk....berbera is taking all the business, 40,000 vs 220,000 goats minus the rest. I wonder where thats all coming from? kk

The thug Abdi Iley is behind that killing of shacab in Xamaro, Fiiq. Wuxuu bilaabay dabadhilf ina Ilay dacaayad raqiis ah oo ka dhan ah xuquuqda aadanaha oo loo kaydin doono, isagoo soo bandhigay maydka dhowr qof oo shacab ah oy maleesiyada uu suuqa ka soo ururiyo ay u laayeen si loogu sawiro iyagoo ku dul ciyaaraya, ka dib markii la ogaaday inay ku guuldareysteen hadafkii loo asaasay. Wareysiga VOA ayuu ku sheegayaa ina Ilay inuu soo galin doono sawiradaa ka dhanka ah anshaxa bani-aadminimo iyo qawaaniinta dawliga ahba. Waxaana masuuliyada faldambiyeedkan qaadi doona maamulka KT Meles Zinawi ee ku fasaxay shaqsi heerkan ay gaarsiisantahay aqoontiisa iyo xishood daradiisa

How sad, you have stooped down to a new low by taking the words of a few so called Elders assembled together forcefully, who are unable to speak their mind as evidence of Condemnation or support for anything. these Elders are on deathrow mate. You should worry about Bosaso which is loosing Major business after this incident, The O folks aren't using your port and hence Berbera is back in business P: . Puntland Business Community was out Condemning faroole in Nairobi and faroole was copping it from all side's, he even asked for a meeting with the O Reps but was denied. So Faroole's

Nonsense...A few Elders who have been assembled together by the Ethiopians/and their stooge's dont represent the Ogadeein. Indeed these Elders are in need of liberation,it is a custom of successive Ethiopian regime's to Hijack the legitimate represetative's of this Clan. As soon as I saw Jigjiga, I stopped there sxb...We saw our elders from across the globe condemn your dispicable action's, and they represent the general feeling of the public...If these so called Elders had anything to say, In jigjiga theirs 8000+ innoccent prisoners in Jeel O, Including Children, students,men, pregnantwomen, teenage girls,Doctors,Elders, former Stooges, etc, they would speak on those issues, they would speak on the constant genocide of their people...laughable really. Gibberish!!

Cowke you are not a student of politics in Ethiopia, I laugh at your innoccence here...really..Stop playing damage control by insulting the struggle of not only the Somali's but many oppressed people's in ethiopia who are up in arms, So you Fail cowke.

Sxb Puntland is expected to atleast, atleast play a neutral role, it seems you cant even do that...and Faroole killed Somalinimo this weak and erased three stars from the Somali flag. When asked by VOA whether Puntland had a formal agreement in exchanging prisnors with Ethiopia his answer was ga ga because its only a one way exchange. Get real and retain your sovereighnty and dignity sxb. khalaas I end my Discussion here with you Victory for JWXO(ONLF) And may somalia get back on its feet. :cool:

Amiin caamir tells it like it is...he doesnt shy away, you dont have to turn away when he criticise's your Stooge and praise him later on a different subject.

I thought you we're an informed Puntlander Stop playing dumb and deaf...Your just getting more lame by the minute. End the story here. I dont blame faroole, he wants to champion dhabaqoodhinimo like never before.

Reality is Faroole is This And ONLF is this When all is said and done, Faroole will be a stooge, ONLF freedom fighter's and the Somali people will be united.

It just shows this guy is a kid....his a one man horse..I talk to puntlanders and they are dying with shame....He would know because his own leader has been making those outragous statements which has schocked even to the most trecherous somali's. he use's ONLF as ascapegoat, an organisation he has no firm idea about, except trying to cover up for his incompetent leadership. Who needs your opinion, ONLF is a terrorist group? who say's Puntland an unrecognised desert which serve's Ethiopia like the stooge's in jigjiga. Talk about clan whining maybe you havnt read the statements from your own Biciyahhan clan and the words of your sheikhs and elders...who all are aware of the situation...where not passive like you and sit on the internet, we get second by second updates on the prisoner's, and knew when one of them was handed over and the other died. Faroole has admitted and used ONLF, clealry stating Ethiopia is more of a kin to him. Stop whining dude, get a grip and accept the failure of your goverment to uphold its dignity.

Ilaahayoo u naxariiso Cabdullahi cadowgaagii iyo calooshod u shaqaysatayaal ma danqade ah baa dilay u naxariiso, kuwii falka geystayna cadhadaadu ha ku dhacdo oo naarta jaxiima ka waraabi.

Under Somalia's constitution any Somali can live in somalia and apply for citizenship regardless whether they are from Ogadein,NFD or Djabuti. Furthermore there is no recognised border between the Goverments of Somalia and Ethiopia, Where does the border end Dire dawa or the Fake Colonial border's. So why does Faroole hold onto that Somali flag if he does not even respect it. Instead he has chosen to be a parcel for Ethiopia to divide the Somali people and attempt to force them to give up their opposition to ethiopian tyranny. Faroole can govern his land in peace but he has no right to make such nonsensical claims. Why is an Ethiopian Agent welcome in Puntland but Not Ogadeeni's or ONLF?? Does this mean you have abandoned what Somalia and Somali's in general have stood for, for so long, then please refrain from abusing our historical stance to get whats ours. Duke is just as hopeless as faroole.

Xiin kk sxb General duke waa alwaax, waa sida dadka ya palestiin dhaha laakiin ka leexiya toodii somalia iyo tan somalida Ogadein. ninkan wax uu ka ogyahay baa iska yar dhulka, iyo siyaasadiisaba....waa cadow sxb ninkan

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....miskiin

Pooor DUKE indeed

Mr.duke it seems in your attempts to save face you have narrowed down to insults in the past few days. Dont you think its a bit ironic you mention Cumar jess..kkk have you forgetten where you stand on the moral. And isnt it a bit ironic you mention jigjiga, where Puntland's order's are sent from. Isnt it a bit ironic you mention ONLF as a failure, but the ethiopian goverment consider;s it, its most fearsome rival, the most dangerous to its survival and currently the biggest opposition. Isnt it a bit ironic you mention a failure in leadership, how can you measure this, cite your source's, but am pretty sure you cant...would you like me to show you the progress made by our leader's just this year?

kkk...look at silanyo and waraabe, they look hella funny eying that seat.

A&T ninka maxaad ooga gabanaysaa, i can see your having mercy on him...kkk...but i think its time you stripped him naked. Kid is a propoganda machine.

haa dhubad waa sidaa, 1990kii awoodeenii baa 77kii ku baa ba'day, laakiin maanta ciidan iyo awood aad u sareysay baa diyaar u ah. dhinac ciidan, dhinac siyaasadba maanta waa loo mideysanyahay, aduunkana wuu ka warhayaa, waxey noqon nasoo kala gaadha, axmara iyo tigree halkaas bey sheekadu ku dhamaan.

haa, Meles jabkiisii wax ka hadhey baa iska yar, maanta diyaar garow balaadhan waa in la isku diyaariyo sidaan fall-outka iskooga celino, itoopia oo qaraxdey waxey isku badali, aduunka dhibaatada oogu weyn...halganka dheer waa gabo gabo inshallah

horta waa run in meesha qabiil hebel waa sidan iyo sidan buu ku dhaqaaqey, lana is aflagaadeeyo waa khalad xaqiiqatun. Laakiin meesha contextga loogahadlayo waa in la ixtiraamaa, meesha in wax lakala barto oo lagu doodo baa loo furay...fadhlan hadii commentgayga la xoorayo, topiga baa sunaysan hala deletegreeyo markaa.
