The fitting name of that occupied region is Soomaali Galbeed. It is the common interest for all Soomaalis who reside there and not to give some clan-minded an excuse to squabble. I understand it is a petty to bicker of a name considering waxa ka dhacaayo ama Xabashadda u geysaneyso deegaankaas. However and still, I don't know why some insist and prefer a clan name -- and worse, which was given by long gone colonial -- than a Soomaali-coined one. Advocating a clan name given in that region by scheming colonials -- these same people waxba ma dhaamaan kuwa leh waan goosaneynaa because long gone Ingiriis colonial ayaa dhulkaan xukumi jiray. Again, this is not the only region given a clan name in the great scheme of divide-and-conquer strategy and game; other Soomaali regions like Bari and Jabuuti both had it; both wisely were changed later. To those who are suggesting Soomaali Galbeed being in Itoobiya, it never was. The so-called xuduud beenaad was never settled or internationalized, but being provisional to this day. That is why the so-called 'border' line is not xariijin, but continuous dhibicyo. The '77 liberation war was not a failed policy. It is an insult to all Soomaalis who perished in their halgan defending and liberating their Eebbe-given land. We Soomaalis defeated Xabashi. But we couldn't and didn't defeat a then great power like Soofiyeed, plus its Cuban, Yemeni agents, not to mention Israelis and God knows who else.

I think you should polish your online search skills. There are plenty of information about this unfortunate event out there online.

The siege ended two weeks after the takeover began with militants cleared from the mosque."

Uniquely in Africa, Ethiopia was never really colonised by Europeans. Why some Westerners repeat this erroneous slip as a fact. Itoobiya was colonized [well they can call it 'occupied' or whatever]; the reality is they were colonized by Talyaanis for almost five years until they were saved by the Ingiriiska in the early days of second great war.

Will their Xabashi masters parachute him from Koonfur Afrika, where he is the bogus ambassador now? All to be seen. However, we should also know, this time Americans, the poor stooges' masters' own master, are involved. They compelled Xabashi to force Geedi out.

'We have decided to take your life' Abukar Albadri Los Angeles Times October 29, 2007 MOGADISHU, SOMALIA -- The voice on the other end of my cellphone was oddly calm, but intent. "Abukar, I am calling to inform you that we have decided to take your life," the caller said. I glanced down at my phone to see the caller ID, which read "private." "You're not worthy to live," the man continued. "You have three hours to tell your family and say your last words." "Who is this?" I demanded. "I am a man," was the reply. It wasn't my first death threat. As a journalist in Somalia, I've received more than I'd care to count. In some, angry callers curse me as a "puppet" of the U.N.-backed transitional government in Baidoa and the Ethiopian troops that support it. Others accuse me of being a "terrorist" supporting the Islamic insurgents. But this call came at the end of one of the darkest days of my life. Just a few hours earlier, I'd attended the funeral of a friend and colleague, Mahad Ahmed Elmi, a radio host gunned down that August morning. Then, as my fellow journalists and I drove back from the burial, a roadside bomb struck our convoy, killing Ali Iman Sharmarke, another prominent media figure in Mogadishu. This month, gunmen shot another friend, Bashir Nur Gedi, acting manager of Shabelle Radio, who had been arrested and detained by government forces in September. International journalist organizations say at least seven reporters have been killed in Somalia this year. No one has been caught or punished in any of these attacks. After I hung up, dozens of questions ran through my mind: What am I guilty of? Who is my enemy? Why am I being targeted? But for the first time, one question would not go away: Should I leave Somalia? Many times I'd stood over the graves of friends. Now I imagined friends and family weeping over mine. I began working as a journalist 10 years ago, at age 19, because I wanted to alert the world to the untold stories of Somalia. I had always admired an older cousin who had worked as a radio correspondent during the Mohamed Siad Barre regime, which fell in 1991. As a journalist in the capital, Mogadishu, I've covered street battles, assassinations and public executions. I've had guns pointed at my head and I've stepped over twisted bodies on the road. I've been summoned to news conferences in the presidential palace only to be detained by corrupt officials who demanded a bribe. Over the years, I've watched governments and authorities come and go. Warlords, Islamic courts, transitional governments. One thing stays the same: When new groups rise to power, they attack the media. Today journalists who have dedicated their lives to telling the stories of Somalia find themselves caught between suicidal insurgents and the blazing guns of the transitional government's mad soldiers. Each is trying to make the media its puppet. This year the government has arrested more than 50 journalists; eight remain behind bars. Officials have attempted to close media outlets and have imposed laws that restrict the activities of reporters. Somalia is the second deadliest country in the world for journalists, after Iraq, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. At the same time, insurgents have attacked and harassed us, distributing leaflets in many neighborhoods threatening to kill any journalist perceived as supporting the government. This summer we were flatly warned that we faced attacks if we covered the government's reconciliation conference. I used to think that with commitment, dedication and a strong heart, I could survive. Now I'm not so sure. This job can be rewarding. But sometimes it feels like a curse. During the reign of the Islamic Courts Union in 2006, I watched a guard tie a 50-year-old man to a stake after he was found guilty of stabbing another man to death. Then, in accordance with the regime's interpretation of Islamic law, the son of the victim stepped forward and cut the accused from his groin to his collarbone. Some women began to ululate in support, but many spectators vomited or passed out. I turned away. The scene took place outside a primary school, as students peered over the wall. I thought to myself: What is happening to my country? It got worse: In March angry crowds dragged the bodies of government soldiers and burned them on the streets. With bullets and missiles flying, I decided to take a couple of photographs, scrawl some quick notes and get away. As I was getting ready to leave, I felt a gun at my head. A militiaman ordered me to drop my camera. I did. I emptied my pockets, raised my hands and pleaded for my life. He took my camera and cellphone, then turned to an angry, questioning crowd and declared me a spy. The crowd began cursing me and chanting. "I'm a journalist. I'm a journalist," I shouted, showing my press card. Sweat poured from my body. I feared I would end up like the government soldiers. The militiaman, however, had a different punishment in mind. He led me away to his leaders, eager to show off his captive. I was lucky. The militia leaders knew me, and vouched for me. They let me go. Still, those experiences were not a turning point. It was the killings of my two colleagues in August. But it was not an easy decision. I was born and raised in Mogadishu. To leave would feel as if I were giving up. Instead I went into hiding, leaving my house, suspending my work and limiting my movements. I grew suspicious. I viewed every passerby as a potential assassin. One day, a friend and I were moving from one of our hide-outs to another when three young men came up behind us. We started walking faster. They walked faster. My heart raced. We stopped to let them pass, and one of them muttered something as they went by. We thought we were safe. But a few minutes later, as we arrived at our destination, we saw the same three men approaching from the road ahead. We froze. I began praying and asking for God's forgiveness. My friend said something to me, but I couldn't hear his words. I closed my eyes and waited for the bullets. I remembered the man on the phone days earlier, the chilling hatred in his voice. Then the young men passed us by, with a simple nod and hello. Were they just trying to intimidate us? Had something distracted them from their attack? Were they simply three men taking a walk? It didn't matter anymore. My decision was made. Five days later I left the country. [ Albadri has worked as a journalist for several Western media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times. He is currently living in Djibouti and hopes one day to return home .] ------------- I remember reading walaalkeen Abuukar Badri's Soomaali news reports on Markacaddeey site in early '00s.

Well, maxaa cusub? If he can afford it, mar horuu jar jari lahaa dalkeena. Laakiin maku dhacaa. It also does not serve his Xabashi interests so far. Qof dhan ra'iisul wasaare dal madax banaan sheeganaayo, in xoog loogu waday magaalo madax kale asagoo rabin, xoog wax loogu soo dhaadhacsiiye, xoog loogu soo celiye, xoog isku casil lagu yiri, xoog lagu casilay, xataa qudbadiis loo soo qoray. Eebboow hana ceebeen adaa heybo na siiyee. Hadduuba dalkaas hoggaamintooda saas ku dhaqmaayo ahaan lahaa dal hormaray waxba maba ahaateen, laakiin Xabashi, the poorest of all people, saas kuula dhaqmaayo? Soomaali maxee god Xabashi gishay, maalinba midkood iskaga soo saxaroodo.

Soomaaliya is just experiencing what every nation on this earth violently experienced. Some fared worse. We hope and pray sooner than later this nightmarish reality to end. Some of us are on the verge of being Soomaali version of zombies, the living dead. Dad whose body iska nool, but damiirkii iyo maankii ka dhintay. Waxaa maqli jiray xaafadii la dhihi jiray If iyo Aakhiro, so-named because the xaafad used to be a former xabaalo before the long-buried bodies were relocated. It now seems a cruel, ironic joke.

Someone is finally digging the historical facts about Soomaalida and qabiiladooda ay ka koobanyihiin and how they came what we now do know. I for long suspected and knew many major Soomaali clans ku dhisanyihiin isbaheysi siyaasadeed, not isirnimo ama dhiig ahaan. In fact, all of them, at least on the top. Qaarkood magacyadooda ayaaba self-explanatory ah. I am glad now this issue is finally tackled by a very credible and highly educated person, Barfasoor Max'ed Cabdi Gaandi of Besancon University [Faransiiska].
