President Hassan has a choice, be a hostage to the gang or save the nation and his presidency.

[galbeedi]

I have listened the three part interview of former national intelligence director Fahad Yasin.  The first part was mostly about his earlier  upbringing and his religious activities'.  He openly told us about his adherence to the Salafi (Wahabi) doctrine which is very rigid anti-social to the traditional open society Somali people were accustomed for centuries.

 

He grew up during the upheaval of the nineties and early two 21st century when Islamic movements and warlords replaced the Somali state. He was a member of Dahir Aweys led movements who had brought nothing but misery, destruction and internationalizing of the Somali politics. Like most young men who grew up in that era, he went from the Salafi Madrassa to the Arabian gulf institutions which are different than what most of us were familiar. The Somalia of  1990--2004 was totally different. 

 

Yet, despite his shortcomings by not attending state institutions, he succeeded in his endeavor to get educated and reach higher status. He became a writer and journalist where  people with higher IQ usually are been found. He became the first Somali reporter, editor and producer of  Al Jazeera channel. He mentioned his articles in Somali talk website in early 2000 to 2008. I do remember that in those days, that website was where Somali nationalists used to write issues of national security and politics. They were the first to report and publish the maritime dispute between Kenya and Somalia . While they were vocally opposed late president C/laahi Yuusuf and the Ethiopian invasion, they were hard hitting and fearless. Among those I remember was C/waahid Khaliif who was the point in terms of Somali politics and C/laahi Yusuf moves. He was from Mudug yet was vocal critic of that government.

One major character of the religious movements are they are not tribal in their outlook and they would act independently which might lead with direct confrontation with outside powers. In other words, they are not well versed in that art of swimming with sharks.

Enough with past, like most of you I did listen with interest about his current interview aired by Geylaan Media, especially part three.

 

For over a year, the Mogadishu based Somali opposition or HAG led by Galmudug boys had told us that the death of Ikran was the most heart breaking and crime act taken place in Somalia. Remember, Mogadishu was the place where people were assassinated, bombed, kidnapped , killed and murdered inside and outside Masjids. More than 40 people were bombed and then flowed by shooting those who survived. A truck filled with bomb exploded inside number 4 area of the city where the death toll reached 500. Yet, this gang through their greed and zeal to seize power by any means necessary, told us that the Somali intelligence service had kidnapped and killed Ikran whom they described as a veteran intelligence analyst. Through their local media Ikran allah ha u naxariiste was the biggest case.

 

One thing the Fahad Yaasin interview revealed is that the deceased  lady neve  worked for NISA for the last three years since Fahad was the director. He revealed that the most senior members of the government colluded with well-known criminal elements and   killed her in order to create chaos and destroy the agency . I will add that not only the idea was to discredit and destroy NISA, but also take over the national security branches of the government like the military and police. While most of us were debating the election issues, premier Rooble was hell bent on taking over these security branches, and most of the battle between Faraamjo and him was about the security.

 

In order to control the agenda and keep their propaganda, they sidelined or threatened minister of information Mr. Dubbe who disappeared and transferred the operations of national broadcasting to a criminal called Al-Caddala. Even before Fahad revealed some of us were raising questions why would Rooble   oppose for Fahad Yaasin to address the national security council? . If Fahad had openly revealed what he knew about the case in the presence of the security minister, defense minister, army chief  Odowa, police chief Xajar and Farammajo,  Rooble would have been arrested on the spot and tried for treason and murder.

 

In order to stop this, Rooble had made some crucial moves. The first one was he sent the national security minister Mr. Hundubeey to UAE to get some funds for the budget. While the minister was on transit in his way to Abu Dabi, he heard that he was relieved of his duties. When he landed at the airport no one welcomed him except the Somali embassy people. Then he shuffled the defence minister and exchanged with the justice minister.

 

He then proceeded and  suspended the NISA chief Fahad , and when the later requested to address the security council he fired and replaced with another hotel oligarch and criminal who got rich from the draught relief donated by Turkey and other.  His fourth move was to stop Fahad from physically coming to Somalia by detaining him in Djibouti and if possible, make him disappear through third party. The man who led the Djibouti leg of the plot is none other than director of Djibouti police C/laahi Cabdi known in Djibouti as " Magafe". 

 

This police chief was arrested in Djibouti few months ago by Omar Geelle in order to please Farmaaajo in case if he wins the election.  After he was arrested,  the wife of Omar Geelle sent two of her security detail , opened a hidden save and took $1.6 million dollars from his office. Also, a month before the Somali election he was sentenced to house arrest for a year. Police chief Magafe has a son in Dubai who is involved with drug  and alcohol smuggling to the gulf and Yemen. Few years ago the son killed an Emarati citizen while driving drunk, but was released and paid compensation due to his connection to C/rahman Boreh.

 

The criminals are in charge of security . I do believe that the killing of the girl by Mahad Salaad, Sanbloolshe, Rooble and al-Cadaala and eventually Mahad Karatey was not only a plot to destroy NISA and take over the security branches, but also to serve the interest of those who have been fighting the establishment of law and order in Somalia/

 

President Hassan Sheikh has a tough choice to make.

 

He is either get along with anarchist and criminal elements of Mogadushu and eventually sink with them or he could clean house and avoid anymore tribal moves which undermines his credibility within the Somali public. Despite the HAG election caravan or train as he put it, where a lot of undesirable cretins ride,  Hassan should know that the interest of the nation supersedes from that of special interest groups. 

 

We know you did call the Amir of Qatar and demanded to the handover of Fahad Yaasin even though he is in Turkey now. That is a bad move. We would like to advice you that despite some of the exaggeration of the spy chief in some issues, no decent Somali could ignore or dismiss his accusations. Some of them are undisputable facts and prove of evidence. No one can deny the steps Rooble took to eliminate and silence him.

 

From our side, we do believe that certain members of the Mogadishu criminal oligarchs have been put in charge of security.  The latest news in Mogadishu today is the hotel coffee houses are empty and everyone feels unease about talking. The Fahad Yaasin interview had sent shockwaves throughout the town. The parliament might not even convene , people might flee the city or worse the assumption of the mafia being in charge might create distrust of your government.  When I look the pictures of the Danujadiid pictures, other than a handful guys from other community, the majority are from Galmudug. You either serve Damujadiid like last time or the nation. I know you are very intelligent and experienced president who get a second chance to serve. 

 

Fahad Yaasiin was the first non HAG NISA chief for the last 12 years and had shown some success although the threat of Al-shabaab is still present. I do believe the extreme hate certain members of HAG, especially the Galmudug boys  have for Fahad Yaasiin wasn't about being chief of staff or the right hand of Farmaajo, but about the extensive security files he gathered from the oligarchs , criminal elements and those who finance Al-shabaab. Mr. president I hope you are not part of the plot to rush the cabinet  confirmation  Mahad Salaad pushed by  Rooble. It is unusual for outgoing cabinet to make this big decisions. 

 

Judging by the moves of this government, I don't think the premier will be coming from Puntland. Even a weak or incompetent Puntlander will not allow the oligarchs to rule with impunity. Also, those two groups, the Punties and Mogadishu oligarchs are antidots to one another. 

 

The HAG can't have both the government and the mafia.

 

President Hassan and company has both the presidency, the capital, the media and the business, but they can't have both the government and the looting and feeling helpless at the same time. Dawladnimo iyo sharci daro iyo boob isma raacaan. We are all shocked the extend their elders, politicians and media goes in order to make Fahad Yaasiin the biggest threat to their power. I do believe that Fahad has more  information about Rooble and Mahad Salaad including phone recordings and other damaging secrets. Mr. Fahad had just left about the right time or he would have been eliminated. 

 

Do you thing that the main reasons for dismissing most of NISA officers and dismantling is because of Ikran Taliil?, I don't think so. NISA under Fahad was very diverse and that is a grave threat to the oligarchs just like they feared a diverse national army.

 

I also heard that most of the influential Galmudug politicians including Cabdi Qaybdiid and others were briefed by NISA about the Ikran case and the main causes of conflict with Farmaajo. As Fahad stated, he was trying to take over the security, and most of them believed the government version.

Mr. Hassan Sheikh would go down with Mahad SAlaad and Rooble or he would start a new begining.

[Duufaan]

He is already trouble hiring Mahad Salad. Mahad is not even Suudi Yellexow type. Both are semi illiterate but Mahad is active criminal. The testimony of Gadax Bare and Ahulasuna leaders are credible let alone Fahad Yasmiin. 
 
Hassan is the leader of the group. They did not  wanted   Sheikh Shariifo, khayre or anybody else but him. He is gone deliver to them and he did already. He also getting 10% for every transaction as usual. He is already getting 10% for Kenya khat. He got his share of UAE money. He could not  be more happy already.

 

Now he could be only saved the PM, he is going to be appointed 

[Dhagax-Tuur]

Bro , this lot are a gang.  In their small world,  they have got their city state back.  Period.  And to them,  it's their spoils.  

Sh. Sharif said it shockingly that the plan was to go to war, should Farmaajo have won, or words to that effect.  That coming from the 'wadaad'  

Bottom line is,  don't expect anything positive from the gang.  

[Duufaan]

They were really mad. It seems they can breath now. The gang is fewer now but still control the local people who doesn’t share same ideas with them. People chase Rooble when he went Liido Beach.

[Dalmar1]

Lol, I seriously doubt President Hassan Sheikh would side let alone even listen to an disgruntled 0.5 loom oyaan criminal Fahad Yasiin who fled Somalia because of his wanton criminals.

Horta ask yourselves how would opposition from folks who live far away in Gedo and Borama Somaliland have the slightest chance to hurt the government President Hassan Sheikh, these folks are weakest and most irrelevant in Somalia's Political Sphere.

As everyone knows that the today's opposition are weak looma oyaan without any Political strength nor the relevancy to change anything on the ground other than to make Facebook/YouTube videos Calacaal cries.

President Hassan sheikh should continue to do his job by ignoring this weak opposition group who won't ever have the chance to hurt him politically.

In other words,  if they can't do like you lot did in April with the local militia,  the opposition is not strong enough?
