Hargeisa Book Fair – Arts, Culture and so much more July 20, 2012 And so to Hargeisa for the Hargeisa International Book Fair, an inspiring gathering of artists, authors, poets and more. Established by Jama Musse Jama and organized by the wonderful Ayan Mahamoud and her excellent team, the Book Fair is now in its fifth year. Hargeisa may have no theatre, no permanent library and no cinema, but this literary festival is rapidly becoming a global phenomenon. Literature, poetry, film, music, theatre, are all celebrated here, building on Somaliland’s proud oral tradition; its already inviting very favourable comparisons to the UK’s own Hay Festival. This year’s festival saw the publication of a new collection of Somali proverbs. Edited by Georgi Kapchits, formerly of Radio Moscow, this new collection, entitled ‘Somalis Do Not Lie in Proverbs‘, is designed to make sure that the Somali oral tradition is given the recognition it deserves. The Hargeisa working men’s club, decked in the Somaliland colours, provides the setting for the Book Fair’s popular presentations and discussions, while outside busy stalls and makeshift tents display books in Somali and English, organic fruit and locally-made textiles; Coca Cola is also very much on display – courtesy of the new bottling plant in Hargeisa. Among the throng – and it really is very, very busy – you can find Somali translations of Chekhov or English translations of the essays of Galaal. Copies of Mary Harper’s important new book, ‘Getting Somalia Wrong‘ were, I am reliably told by the author, sold out – twice. As Ayan will tell you, you do not build a community by simply focusing on institutions – an army or police force, a government or local administration. You do it by also by creating a shared identity and common values – by changing people’s minds; by helping them grow. It is for this reason that the UK has been a proud sponsor of the Book Fair for three years now. The UK is proud of our historic links with Somaliland. Somali diaspora communities are among the UK’s most well-established, with Somaliland communities present in almost every major city across England and Wales. The diaspora play a vital role in all aspects of UK society – from local councillors to some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. The UK’s support for Somaliland covers a wide spectrum. As well as our ongoing support for festivals like the Book Fair, we are also providing significant development aid and will continue to do so. Most excitingly, perhaps, we are working on a new initiative together with the Danish Government. The Somaliland Development Fund will help support the priorities of the Somaliland Development Plan, helping the government support prosperity, tackle poverty and deliver basic services, such as health and education. Giving Somaliland’s young people something to do (some 70% of Somaliland’s population are estimated to be under 30), stimulating minds with things other than khat – these things matter. Put simply, arts and culture matter. But I am also acutely aware – and often reminded – that much of Somaliland’s success has been delivered despite international aid and assistance. Somaliland’s relative stability has been enabled by Somalilanders themselves. So as we increase and strengthen our collaboration with Somaliland, how do you think we should focus our assistance? How should we make sure that aid helps, not hinders development? I look forward to hearing from you. As we enter the holy month of Ramadan, I would like to echo the words of the Foreign Secretary and wish all Somalis, and all Muslims across the globe, a peaceful time with their families. Ramadan Mubarak! Matt Baugh

Rational ,,eh ?

Shortly after I posted a blog about a book fair in Somaliland, I received a comment from a contributor to a highly respected international magazine. He asked whether it was a joke. As if I was making the whole thing up.

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. Anon iWot Team (Internet War On Terror) Bonus: This is really sad to see that some companies helped Dahabshiil after our intrusions (sometimes from Europe, etc). We won't reveal the names of these IT Security workers, cause we understood that they just wanted to make money. But, as a last advice for them and their family, thanks to think twice the next time you will help Dahabshiil and terrorists. You are helping people who helped Al-Qaeda, like many other unscrupulous Islamic banks that helped at laundering kind of donations. We know you. You are not anon anymore. *We are Anonymous.* Credits: though we will hide the identity of the people who helped us, we will at least share our thanks to their organizations, for those who accepted it. So, many many thanks to people from Iomart (!), from Vizada and from Somtel. Some of them accepted to share technical stuff (passwords, remote access, etc) as they do follow our spirit and our values against Terror. *We are legion.* Contacts: no need to answer to this email address, as it's not ours. If you want to meet us, as always we'll be at Defcon soon, and we hope that there will be a special prize for Dahabshiil, though it's a bit late to propose them to the Powney Awards. We do believe that being an international bank, with really lame security, fake official answers, and real links with terrorists to kill people in Africa, Europe or America (Al-Qaeda), should bring them to a special prize. They deserve it. *We do not forget.* Future: if you want to participate, just share your thoughts or ideas of targets on Internet with the official related proofs showing links with terrorists. Like any skilled hackers, we can have remote access anywhere on earth (gov, telco, comp, etc) as the current IT Security community is just selling dreams and fake products. If you like our values, thanks to support Anonymous iWot (internet War on terror) and put tags like #anoniwot2012 so that we can find your list of targets, your messages, your help, your ideas, etc. You cannot contact us directly, so, please shout enough so that we can hear you. You can just share message to our teams on public spaces, and we'll read them. Before that, if you enjoyed our specific actions against terrorists in Somalia, thanks to really show your support about this Somaleaks operation, with the tag #somaleaks and just wait, as many other places might burn sooner or later. *Expect us.*"

"[Anonymous/iWot] Somaleaks !!! After years of offensive hacking against many companies, governments, etc, we [Anonymous], decided to share data related to an internal confidential project from multiple l33t hackers worldwide. We called that "iWot", meaning "Internet War On Terror". Though we will never forget what happened with Megaupload, Pirate Bay, Sopa, friends, etc, our sub-branch of the Anonymous was created with trusted hackers, to follow a specific goal. This email will be the first from us. Thanks to spread our words. We officially declare War on Terror. This is a call for actions of monitoring and/or destruction of companies and institutions that do work with terrorists, rogue countries, etc. We already broke the security of multiple networks on earth. Each time we will be able to control them, and to steal data, we will then publish our documents on the net, or share them directly to people involved with Newspapers, Justice, etc, worldwide. Some documents, about some banks working with rogue countries, were already shared to some email addresses. And we are quite happy to see that the truth is on its way.. sometimes.. As some of us already explained, we are not a terrorist organization. It's just that we are fed-up with the fact that our society is loosing time. So we just decided to speed-up actions against terrorists and their friends. We will first try to eradicate the sources of terrorist financing. It is not possible to know at this time the precise scope or the duration of our actions to counter terrorist threats linked to Internet. Today, as a proof of concept, we will share information about a really evil bank, hiding ugly activities with terrorists. It's called "Dahabshiil", an international funds transfer company. Their networks have been broken by different hackers teams for many years. And it's time for us to share information here in this mail. Thanks to Wikileaks, secret documents related to Guantanamo detainees publicly explained part of the truth about Dahabshiil. A veteran extremist and a probable associate of Usama Bin Laden, provided direct financial support to Al-Qaeda, Al-Wafa and other terrorist and terrorist support entities through the Somalia-based company Dahabshiil. This bank is currently helping Al-Qaeda, including members of Al-Shabaab. Despite the fact that the CEO of Dahabshiil tried to get rid of some people, and sometimes people from its own family, this will not be enough for us. We have stolen many many many documents from Dahabshiil. We have destroyed many workstations in Australia, Kenya, USA, UK, Sweden, Somalia, Dubai, Djibouti, etc. We can transfer money from accounts to accounts, despite the ****** security with tokens, passwords, etc. We have modified Windows kernel on many servers and workstations. We have added different kind of cyber-bombs hidden on many workstations and servers. We have powned switches, routers, firewalls, satellite stuff from Telco, etc. As Dahabshiil members might think we are lying, we have to share data. Feel free to download and copy the data before everything get destroyed, as it's totally illegal. And now, if Dahabshiil members were unable to understand why the network sometimes crashed, the computers sometimes died, data from internal servers sometimes died, etc, do not search. It was just our actions against you, with people from our team. As an example, we recently destroyed data on the internal LAN in Somaliland, from the Dahabshiil Headquarters (Hargeisa, etc). That's why you guys, lost Gigs of internal sensitive data on main servers like Dahabshiil7, Dahabshiil6... Pictures: https://plus.google.com/photos/113658519262476278700/albums/5766494975077833809 Sample of bank accounts (SQL export): http://dahabshiil.hopto.org/Somaleaks/Rsa.Banking.dbo.CLIENTS_sample.txt Backup of data (speed-up, gather everything and share it online (pastebin, etc) before it's deleted): http://dahabshiil.hopto.org/Somaleaks/ By the way, we also found out that many employees were looking at facebook stuff, personal email, and tons of incredible hardcore porn web sites especially in countries from the Arabian Peninsula, and from the bank (not at home). Also, the password of the account Administrator of the internal LAN in Somaliland, was mainly "Dahab1234". Awesome. This is how they protect data of their customers. Quite a serious bank. As we have remote 0days against some of their tools, we easily took the control of any workstations there. Then we bounced and bounced, in order to explore this bank. Hopefully, we were a huge number of hackers at the same time, and during months, which helped at stealing sensitive data, spying on end-users and banking transactions, etc. After months and months of fun against these guys who support Terror on earth, we just decided that it was time to destroy them. This was just the beginning... and just a proof. So from now, dear Dahabshiil members and customers, you can expect a global internal destruction in less than 2 months. You can keep on asking external consultants, even in Europe, about how to install Antivirus, Firewalls, NAC, IPS, Waf, etc. But we will still destroy your networks, steal your data, and sometimes share internal stuff to the public. This is called a sabotage... We had first to be sure that you could not get rid of our offensive tools. That's why we used two layers of tools. Skilled stuff (with kernel 0dd modifications, etc), and easy tricks (to annoy and to play with your network/data). Now it's ready. The bombs will kill your networks and your data in less than 2 months. You can also backup the poor data that you still have, but we also infected random Office/PDF documents left, so you'll just backup some of our bombs, and your network will still die. If you want us to immediately stop this cyber-sabotage, it's quite easy. We just ask you to stop lying, to recognize your help with Somalia terror, and to officially change your behavior. We need a public message from you, as a proof. As you might have seen, public excuses of far more bigger banks than Dahabshiil, were done recently, from people who worked with rogue countries, etc. So, we just ask you to do do the same and to change. We will monitor you, as we already made these years. You have 2 months. Maximum. If we see that you are still asking for help against us, to your supposed-to-be IT Security consultants (UK, etc), or if we see that you are trying to clean our stuff in your kernels, etc, we will then launch the cyber-bombs before the 2 months. You don't have the choice. You have to submit. You have to leave this world of hate, this world of slaughters, this world of killers, and to leave terrorists behind you. Of course you needed money. Of course most of your employees/customers are not terrorists. Of course most of your employees/customers didn't know your links with Terror. Of course someone else would have done this in your place. Of course our offensive actions are totally illegal (like yours when you support Terror). But according to us, these reasons are not good reasons. The countdown is already running. It's too late. You have the choice between living, or dying with honors in the family of people who helped terrorists. You will be our first public example of cyber-destruction, as others already changed their minds. Be smart. Choose life. And now a message to Dahabshiil customers: if you have money in this bank, if you are a customer of this bank, if you use this bank to transfer money from a country to another, and even if you are not a terrorist, we will let you less than 2 months before we either publish your personal information (passport, ID card, postal address, phone, email, etc), or we destroy your account by moving your money elsewhere, which will not be complex. As an example, we already shared this kind of information, as a proof of capability. Less than 2 months. After that, don't cry if you lost your money at Dahabshiil, even if they told your that everything was under control (lulz), that they were able to clean their systems (lulz), etc. So, just take your money out of Dahabshiil now (!), and leave them behind you, before the destruction of this unofficial financial support for terrorists. First casualty of war is innocence. Be smart. Choose life. And now a message to people in the same situation than Dahabshiil: If you are working with terrorists, if you are helping them, if you are linked to them, we will find you, and you will also be destroyed by our cyber-team, sooner or later. There is no place for you on earth. No place for you on Internet. No place for hate. Make love. Make kids. Be smart. Choose life.
