Secessionist ‘Somaliland’ Embarks on a Dangerous Course of Desperation April 14, 2007 For Immediate Release The unfortunate, but internecine, conflict raging in Mogadishu between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and its opponents as well as developments elsewhere in the country have apparently thrown the secessionist camp in Somalia’s Northwestern Region (‘Somaliland') into disarray and confusion. Early this year the secessionist camp made a series of demonstrations in the UK, followed by a petition to the British Prime Minister to recognize the enclave – a petition which was naturally denied. The secessionists have now – perhaps as a result of that denial – abandoned their claim to peace and quiet in contrast to “southern Somalia,” and have opted for a belligerent policy designed to bring two pro-Unity northern regions, Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (which rejected their secessionists’ project) within their camp through military conquest so as to demonstrate to the outside world that they control the entire area of what used to be called British Somaliland. Fully aware that Hargeisa does not have the ability to do that, perhaps this is a Machiavellian effort to instigate and drag the fully engaged TFG into a new conflict in the northern regions. Accordingly, mobilizing from far away Hargeisa, the Secessionists tried during the past two weeks to make armed incursions into some of the towns and villages such as Huddun, Awr Boogeys and Dhahar only to be rebuffed by the local populations. The bulk of their militia is made up of former SNM militia re-cast as a ‘Somaliland’ national army. At the same time the secessionists spared no effort in adding fuel to the fire raging in our national capital by trying to forge an alliance, albeit false, with the ****** – a clan which is unswervingly committed to the unity and territorial integrity of our country. We, the Northern Somalis for Peace & unity (NSPU) condemn in the strongest terms these nefarious acts on the part of the secessionists and we pray that our people throughout Somalia will surmount their difficulties and unite for peace and prosperity with a view of securing a more stable future for posterity. Therefore, consistent with NSPU advocacy and commitment to peace and unity among all the citizens of the Somali Republic, we strongly urge and appeal to: The international community, specially the International NGOs, the UN, the EU, IGAD, and aid Donor countries/organizations to condemn the naked aggression of the secessionists entity, Somaliland, against the peaceful population of the Sool and Sanag Region and use their influence and leverage over the Hargeisa secessionists to refrain from undermining the current international efforts to stabilize the country; Call upon the ***** elders and intellectuals, specially those from Western Sanaag and Togdheer Regions, to condemn these heinous acts against your neighbors, which if continued, will trigger tragic conflicts which will severely impact the relative peace and stability in the area; Call on the remnants of the Somali National Movement (SNM), an ***** militia which in the confusion that followed the collapse of the central government in 1991, orchestrated the creation of ‘Somaliland’, to shed their banner of hate and refrain from actions and words that will once again lead to a conflict among the brotherly northern clans; and Call upon the Diaspora 'Somalilanders' and 'Somaliland' Part-time politicians, with their families safely in foreign countries (read: Faisal Waraabe, Ahmed Siilaanyo et al), to momentarily reflect on their doings and refrain from incitement and hate mongering the consequences of which may not directly affect them but will surely impact on the poor folks back home, irrespective of clan affiliation. May peace prevail among the long-suffering people of Somalia and may a new horizon of unity prosperity and prosperity dawns on our country. And may wisdom dawn on the bearers of hate.

This is horrid indeed. The guy has Ismail tatooed on his arm what a sicko!.

NG soomaliya waa in laguu diraa! hawd might be the place for you!. NG: WHere the toilets Odey Qowdhan: Maandhoow bankaas aad; quracaas dabadiisa ayaa dahsoon

Faarx_Brown, I used the word qaraar because it actually defines what some people are doing--people who care less about Islam and engage actions that are directly comdemned by Islam: Clanism would be a good example here. All of the sudden when they see someone with a financial "sucess" (though admitedly with dubious background) then they cry and put their arms up. Northerner, Akhii fil Aqiidah; "Islamic Bank of Britain is your best bet". This is owned mainly by Loyds TSB and their trading house is a traditional Financial Services firm: Dawnay, Day Group though like the HSBC they have Islamic product offerings. I think I am with Xiin on this one (you might say we agree on most things); we are not required (that is the common muslim man in the street) to dig out how and why these products put together.

Haneefah; I like that though some of the other's comments smells of iney qaraaraayaan!

War dhibta joojiya. Umada Allah haloo baryo.

Done! The num is with you in your pm.

Bob I can give you the number so long as you promise not to mention my name to him.

Caano! I doubt it but I will never ask for it--- the moto fend for yourself has become a family adage of late. How are you these days?

A distant cousin! glad to see him doing well.

What is happening in Mogadishu is thoroughly disgusting. Both the government and the opposition are to blame for the innocent lives being lost daily. War dadka Rabi haloo baryo! Hadaad nabad-doon tahay kobtan magacaaga kuqor. Sophist

Okay! this getting childish. Soomalidu hanoolaato ayaan lee yahay anigu.

Ar you sure these were not as result of in-fighting between the Reerka?

For the love of god, Sophist is not short for Sophistication! then again I wouldn't expect you to know that!!!!!!!

Ceerigaabo waa magaalada Puntland iyo Somalilandba aaney wax uqaban. Sanaag gobol ahaan inkastoo ragii udhashey ey calamada ukala hayaan Puntland iyo Somaliland (Xasan Daahir Afqudhac V-president of Puntland is from Ceerigaabo) (The finance minister of Somaliland is from Ceerigabo; yes the infamous Cawil is ceerigaabaawi). Runtii waa wax laga naxo. Dib udhaca gobolkan waxaa mas'uulka ah dadkooda. Arinkaan arin wax qabad u baahan weeye. Inaanu kula mashquulno burco iyo Laascaanood ama Garowe iyo Hargeisa. Ceeri to'laan ayaa ku dhacdey.

The people. Biyo guduud? I was there last year mate; there was no xero ciidan-- as a matter of fact I purchased a plot of land there.

Dumb? a word I am sure you are very well versed with. PS: the cloth says it all.

Northener: busy with work!!!! Suldaanka! Sarcarsm doesn't suit you old chap. Laakiin arinkaan arin muhiim ah weeye so let us not drag the thread in the mud---- let us resist the urge shall we!!!.

This dear chaps is vomit and vile verging on fearfully finalistic vermin that is spreading through the veins of those who take his views seriously—the chap has following I hear. The wholesale incrimination of the named clan is nothing short of being xenophobic and downright clanist—something a lot of Somali “intellectuals” are guilty of. We have a moral responsibility to respond to this guy and make him look as he is: twat hiding under a cloak of pseudo intellectualism. I urge those who share “the cause” with him (secessionism) to respond to him with forceful confutation otherwise alot of people will read the silence as an agreement. This sort of buffoonery ought to be stopped otherwise many people who regard this man in high esteem will fall for his malicious and downright dishonest views. Bravo to Samurai and the rest.

beautiful poem.

poetry the milk of the soul.

Maxamed Ali Magan Beesha ma matalo!

Ngone: What prompted thee to resurrect this old thread?

Beautiful words confered upon the one I named! Thanks GD.
