I like your source for Mogadishu news...this story was not reported by shabelle.net and HornAfrik but Halgan.net and Allpuntland. Haddana ma Keyse Yare ayaad la baxday Duke oo wararkaad Muqdisho ka soo tebisaa intana Cut and Paste as Usual! You might as well open a forum aad Duke ula baxdid ama General dheh amase shicib sheego si aad toos warka ugu soo qortid. Adduunyooyo xaalkaa ba'.

by a confused soldier should we say? loool........where is the General? Mallagaa xayuubiyey?

Abdullahi Yey is a looser who put Somalia under an occupation. The real leader now is Jen Gabre and his government. This Yey guy is a puppet who serves them.

Somalia never asked its enemy for help and would never do but Meles has used some opportunists diin-haters and blind clan supporters to occupy Somalia. They have brought a murderer to become a president, a looter to become a prime minister and many pupputs to become MPs and ministers. And how coud Ethiopia help anyway? They need help more than anyone.

Way iska sahlan tahay in afka laga dhaho hub baa Soomaali laga uruurinayaa balse sida hubku dalkaan ugu baahay waa wax la yaab leh. For in idaacadaha la tuso hebel oo aan is naqaanno waan dhihi karaa 20 qori ii soo dhiib laakiin iyadoon la helin dib-u-heshiisiin dhab ah (Not midda TFG meelaha la wareegeyso) Soomaaliya in hub laga qaadaa waa iska sheeko. Waddan dagaal ka socdo oon xal loo helin, dowlad shisheeye ciidammadeedu xoog ku joogaan, shacabkii INTIISA BADAN uusan kalsooni u haynin maamul-ku-sheegga meesha ka jira waa halla iska hadlo hub baan leennahay dad keena!

The Somali untouchables By Bashir Goth - posted Thursday, 3 May 2007 Sign Up for free e-mail updates! If you think that Dalits (untouchables) exist only in India think again. We have them in Somalia. But what makes the situation of ours even worse is that unlike India - where people belong to different races, languages and colours - Somalia is the most homogenous country in Africa with people belonging to a single race and sharing a common language, a common religion and a common skin complexion. To find a dehumanised group of people in a third world country may look normal, despite its gravity, but the real tragedy is when international human rights organisations ignore the plight of such people. One such blunder that went unnoticed appeared in the March 2007 report of the Minority Rights Group International (MRG), which placed Somalia ahead of Iraq as the world’s most dangerous country for minority groups. For anyone familiar with Somalia, this assessment will conjure up images of clans who suffered for centuries from sub-human treatment. We Somalis know them; UN organisations on the ground know them; and anyone with Internet access will have no difficulty finding them. Advertisement Amazingly, however, the MRG, which brags in its website of listening to minorities and indigenous peoples to avoid prescriptive and patronising approaches, and with some 130 partners in 60 countries, has not only failed to find them but has shockingly confiscated their claim of being in a minority and given it to their tormentors. The MRG described the Somali clans of ******, ****** and Issaq as minorities who were under threat. These three clans are the most numerous, most dominant and most powerful clans of the Somali race, but by an absurd twist of fate they have become the most threatened minorities on the books of the imminent MRG, thus negating the true minorities such as the Gabooye, Midgaan, the Bantus, the Xamar Cad and others. Coming across this enormous gaffe, I found myself obliged to take the awesome responsibility of teaching this emminent organisation a lesson or two about the Dalits of the Somali race. Ladies and gentlemen of the MRG, in Somalia we have a clan we do not allow to share the name “Somali” with us. We call them Sab and we call ourselves Somali; we call them Midgaan and we call ourselves Aji (blue blood). It is ironic that the word “Sab” has the same pronunciation as the English word “sub” which among other things means below; under; beneath, subordinate; inferior, less than completely or normal. And by a strange coincidence the Somali word “Sab” has the same meaning and even worse. We also call them Midgaan, Gabooye, Tumaal among other names. It is these people that we Somalis do not like to mingle with, shake hands with, eat with, marry from or give our daughters to. While the world celebrates the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery, we Somalis still pride ourselves on denigrating people of our own race. I know a man who was unknowingly hosted by a Midgaan family. But once he learned about their identity after enjoying their hospitality for one week, he couldn’t stop vomiting for several days. This is not an isolated case but it is the norm and such reaction could be expected from anyone belonging to the so-called Aji clans. The real tragedy, however, is that these people, the Sab or Midgaan, do not only look like us but are most of the time more handsome than the rest of us, while their struggle for survival over the centuries has made them more intelligent and more resilient. They are our traditional hunters, doctors, blacksmiths, craftsmen, singers, tailors and fashion designers, barbers and hairstylists, hygiene attendants and butchers. We defend ourselves with the weapons they make, cultivate our farms with the ploughs they fashion, wear the clothes they tailor, eat with the pots and bowls they make, drink from the earthen jars they mould, submit our heads to them to cut our hair, call them to circumcise our sons and daughters, trust them with our necks to cut our tonsils, enjoy their music but still we despise them. They speak the same language we speak and pray towards Makkah five times a day like the rest of us. But if you dare tell any Somali to pray behind the most learned Imam of the Migdaan and he would rather go to hell. Without them we would be defenseless and would perish in the harsh environment of our land, but instead of glorifying them we look down on them. They have no voice among us and no political representation. And if anyone of them dares to protest, we easily silence them by invoking the M-word. This makes every Somali around them flee and avoid them like a plague. Even in the national charter of the current Somali Transitional Federal Government they are nameless although they have taken a little better status by being referred to as the "others" among small but respected Somali clans. This is the closest they have ever come to share a status albeit an insignificant one with other clans. At one time when the previous military dictatorship banned the registration of tribal identities and people started referring to each other in coded language as ex-clans, the Midgaans were given the not-so flattering name of Somali Six. This was a reference to the five parts that the colonial powers have divided Somalia into and for which the five cornered star in the middle of the blue Somali flag stands as a symbol. The name Somali Six, therefore, despite its negative connotation of discarding the Midgaans outside the Somali race, carries with it the inadvertent admission of considering them as Somali, albeit outcasts. Having no identity, no geographical habitat and no land in their name, the Midgaans have suffered the most during the civil wars in the country. While other clans can lean on each other at times of crisis through blood lineages, the Midgaans are left to fend for themselves. No one cries for their dead, treats their wounded, feeds their hungry, clothes their naked, shelters their homeless and no one demands justice for their victims. It is, therefore, disdainful to see that none of the dominant clans, erroneously mentioned in the MRG report, have tried to rectify the situation by pointing to the organisation’s grave mistake. In any other situation members of these clans will not hesitate to flash their majority card but this time they seem to willing to accept the minority card as long as they are able to gain from it. Why should they care if they deprive the Midgaans of their only remaining right of being a minority? After all they have no right to claim any right whatsoever. And for the record, no Somali clan including my own, the Gadabursi, can claim to having a clear conscience on this. In fact the man I mentioned earlier who vomited after knowing that he shared food with Midgaan family was from my own clan. Besides there is this famous judgment passed by an elder in my area on a homicide case in which a Tumaal (a Sab and a blacksmith) man was killed by a prominent member of the ***** clan. The ***** elders were bewildered as to how to compensate the victim family. As Muslims, Somalis follow the Shariah law in settling murder cases, and Shariah demands a soul for a soul unless the family of the victim pardons the perpetrator and demands diya or blood money, which equals to 100 camels for a male. But in this case killing a man from an aristocratic clan for a Tumaal was out of the question, while paying full blood money of 100 camels to a lesser Tumaal was considered an insult to the dignity of the aristocratic clan. Therefore, they sought outside advice and from a man of the Gadabursi clan known for his wisdom and sound judgment. When he heard the case, the man of wisdom of my clan passed his judgment. "Give a blacksmith’s tool set as compensation to the victim’s family," he said. Both the ***** and Gadabursi elders admired his ingenuity. The Tumaal family got a blacksmith’s tool set instead of 100 camels and no one ever sought their opinion of the judgment. This reminds me of a Midgaan teacher I had in primary school who taught us patriotic songs and in retrospect I now wonder why he even bothered. I am not sure whether issuing an apology will go far enough but I admit that I bear deep remorse for the action of my clansmen and for the injustice done to the Tumaal family. I also believe that all Somalis should atone for their dehumanising treatment of the Midgaans and recognise them as full citizens. As for the MRG, I can only hope that they rectify their mistake and demand justice for this oppressed clan.

Caaq maxaa kale oo ka sugeysey?

Duke Sahaaf Duke Evidence no:2 I must say that this failure is not one that will affect me any more than you. For the uncle of mine you are refering to I think is the President of that war torn and drought stricken nation. So being equal as we are, I dont get your point. Evidence |No:3 It seems like Mohamed Dheere has served his purpose. Source Evidence No:4 Who should one address here?The meaning behind this topic is stright forward Mr Dheere was useful but no more, so what must the President do, simple suprise us a little bit more. Thats my advice. As for the warlords they have bigger problems then Mr YEY, their masters are results driven, will they get the men on the wanted list, can they? Will the MP's from Mogadishu support the new alliance? It is not over till the fat lady sings, the warlords are in a real dilema, their opposition to Yey can no longer mask their incompetence and ********* . The clan card has blown up. I am all powerful because I posses forty technicals means very little since last week. Evidence No:5 If you have not heard the warlord era is over, dont take my words for it, but that of Qaybdeed, Dheere, and of course Mohamed Qaynyare.

loooooooooool.....at Faarax-Brown and further to your comment here is the evidence no 1, date: March 14, 2006 06:39 PM Originally posted by General Duke: It is funny why the so called Somalilanders are the most reactionary when it comes to such topics. Mohamed Dheere called Abdullahi Yusuf a vagabond and pointed to his clan. To me it shows a man deeply frustrated, a man who is starting to realise his own importance and does not like what he is coming to terms with. The fact is the TFG is still in business and without shedding any blood or any of their leaders being chased out. It is easy to talk when the man is away. Another important development that is no doubt vexing Me Dheere and the axis of ****** is the peace between the clans of Mudug & Galgaduud and the fact that Ato, Furux have even vistied Garowe to further strengthen relations between Puntland and those areas. The TFG played an important role to bring about this. So while Dheere is angry and bitter and spitting venom, others are happy and the game goes on. Those who hate Somalia will no doubt find more points to cling to. and more to come soon---------->

dated 5 May 2007 | issue 2049 Posted: 7.22pm Tuesday 1 May 2007 International Ethiopian army kills thousands in Somalia A savage bombardment of the Somali capital Mogadishu by occupying Ethiopian forces has left thousands dead and driven over 350,000 people from their homes. Ethiopian troops, with the backing of their Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) allies, are attempting to crush a rebellion. Eyewitnesses describe how "columns of Ethiopian tanks ploughed into northern Mogadishu". Rockets have rained down, leaving much of the city in ruins. Several missiles hit an orphanage run by the charity SOS Children. Bodies of civilians littered the streets. In a statement issued on Thursday of last week, SOS Children said that "those who can run have done so, and others, who are more seriously wounded, have been evacuated from the hospital by their friends and relatives". According to the United Nations the situation has become desperate as tens of thousands of people, among them those seriously wounded, are trapped in the capital. Only one hospital remains open, while the US-backed government has choked off desperately needed supplies. Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia in January this year to drive out the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) as part of the US "war on terror" in the Horn of Africa. The UIC took control of the capital in June 2006 during a popular revolt against the warlords that ruled the country from 1991 onwards. The warlords had divided the country into private fiefdoms and vied for control of neighbourhoods in a decade of violent chaos. The UIC's victory brought a brief period of stability. During its reign citizens were able to travel and work without fear of extortion by the private militias. In June 2006 the US designated Somalia a "terror state" and accused the UIC of aiding Al Qaida. This claim provided a pretext for Ethiopia – which is in dispute with its neighbour over control of the ****** region – to invade. Since Ethiopian troops overran the capital earlier this year, a number of nationalist and clan-based resistance organisations have emerged – none are affiliated to Al Qaida. The Washington-based Jamestown Foundation is a leading US authority on radical Islamist groups. Its analysts found, "Resistance to Ethiopian troops and the Ethiopian-installed TFG is inspired by nationalism, religion, economic factors and clan loyalties – all of these motivations are part of a constantly shifting pattern of allegiances in which the only common characteristic is a desire to expel foreign troops from Somalia." In 1992 US and other Western troops invaded Somalia as part of a "humanitarian intervention" during a famine. The occupation sparked an uprising that eventually drove out Western troops in 1994. Now the US is desperately attempting to paint the Somalis as victims of an Al Qaida plot to take over their country. The Shabelle media organisation, based in Somalia, reported that during recent ceasefire negotiations in Mogadishu, Ethiopian military officers wanted the representatives of the ******, a major clan based in the capital, to admit that attacks on their troops were being carried out "by Al Qaida operatives". The ****** rejected the allegation and stormed out of the talks. The uprising in the capital started when troops attempted to take control of neighbourhoods that are particularly hostile to the occupation. For nine days resistance fighters battled troops before being driven out by artillery barrages and tanks. As the fighters melted away, men in "Somali army uniforms" went on a looting spree, while occupation forces carried out mass arrests. Abdulahi Irro, a father of four from Arafat neighborhood, told the Shabelle media organisation that government soldiers looted his house as he and his family stood by helplessly. "They attacked my house and took my car, television set and clothes, money and other things," he said. Ibrahim Sheikh Mao, a resident of Mogadishu's Suuqahoola district, told AFP news that troops "are moving from house-to-house arresting people. "They entered our house and arrested three people, including a woman." One reporter saw at least 20 men being bundled into a military truck. The battle over Somalia is now threatening to engulf the whole region in war. The US undersecretary of state for African affairs, Jendayi Frazer, has accused Eritrea, another of Ethiopia's neighbours, of supporting the rebels in Somalia. The new threats against Eritrea come as US-backed Somali troops prepared to lay siege to the city of Kismayo, south of the capital. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © Copyright Socialist Worker (unless otherwise stated).
