xiinfaniin Posted May 15, 2007 I think Hiiraale’s stock has correctly depreciated as soon as the powers that be realized his was no more than a brief warlord boom! I just cant see the connection between him and Kismayo. Not to forget that he is not the first warlord that lost in the game; Jees and Morgan were thrown to the sharks before him. The only difference is the fact that this warlord seems to be an undisputed leader for his tribe. That itself, though sad and unfortunate in many ways, is not unique in the current Somali politics! But I must agree with Nuune that this is very interesting development in the southern context. A warlord who brought his community along in support of Ethiopian invasion and Yeys support is easily sacrificed…and more importantly forced to accept his demotion!

Faarax-Brawn Posted May 15, 2007 Originally posted by Che-Guevara: I guess Kismayo can now categorized as being terrorist safe haven. Faarah...Hiiraale is bafoon too. The man lacks the foresight. Of course he is one heck of a flustered foolish criminal. All warlords & anyone affliated with Somali Politics can be classified as a bafoon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabbal Posted May 16, 2007 I do not understand how a man's simple travel to a city his supporters hail from could garner so much media attention and speculation. So he lost his ministerial position, so? All Somalis know by now the man did not support the civilian bombardment and utter catastrophe subjected to that city of Mogadishu and its innocent civilian population. All Somalis also understand that is why he lost his position, a position he has absolutely no regrets about losing. Anyways, this is an interesting interview on HornAfrik in which Hiiraale gives more insight into his moral abstaining from the war against Mogadishu's civilian population, his reasons for coming to Baardheere, his confidence (if any) in the Somali reconciliation conference, and what he will do in the very near future, and whether he is or is not headed towards Kismaayo, which has been under the hands of his supporters for some time now. Interview. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xiinfaniin Posted May 16, 2007 Articulate and assertive! But the duplicity fails him. If he was so opposed what has transpired, as he claims he was, he could’ve easily spoken earlier and resigned rather than waiting till Geedi dumps him! He’s not credible really! Not to forget how excited he was during the Ethiopian invasion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Castro Posted May 16, 2007 ^^^ Right on, Xiin. Hiiraale is made of the same cloth Caydiid, Geedi, Yey, Dheere, Yalaxow and others are made of: amoral, opportunistic and cowardly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabbal Posted May 16, 2007 Intriguing how the one man lauded by all Somalis including some of the more trustworthy personalities in the ICU as a fervent patriot, anti-Ethiopian interference can now be accused of excitement towards Ethiopian invasion. If that were the case, would not one have used Ethiopian muscle during the Bu'aale fight when all others, including Puntland state and the group in Baidoa were physically being protected by Ethiopian armour as well as men? Then again, some of us have always been looking to vilify the said man including smarting when the more trustworthy personalities in the ICU such as Sheikh Sharif and Sheikh Aweys used to praise the man on national radio for his legacy and his history in the civil war. I dear say Hiiraale's famous hyperbole which resulted from his anger at the conduct towards some of his wounded soldiers in the hands of ICU tribal militias and his resentment towards the other side's use of foreign mercenaries against him when his own principles prevented him from using Ethiopia in the Bu'aale fight, must have made someone's day. Hiiraale and Ethiopia? Come again men! AS for whether the man supported or opposed what occurred in Mogadishu, I would say ask his former arch-enemy Qaadisiya!

General Duke Posted May 16, 2007 Hiiraale is quite ammusing, the man missed the opportunity to be a national player and instead wanted the fraud taxes and the money he used to get from Kismayu wnt happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ninna wuxuu yiri "Ethiopia iyo Somalia ayaanba isku daraynayaa" mid kalena "Xataa Yuhuud waa keensanaynaa" ayuu yiri waa isma dhaanto iyo dhasheed .... Waxaan Maqli jiray Kacaanka ayuu qofkaas kadheereeyay... Malaha nimankaas Kacaanka maanta jira ayayba kadheereeeyeen... lol Hada ayay anaga moral noola imaanayaan oo midna inta Asmara tagay leeyahay wixi Xamar kadhacay waa massacre kan kalena haduuba soo dhardhigtay...

Gabbal Posted May 16, 2007 Yahuud was an emotional hyperbole directed towards the foreign mercenaries used against him and the inhumane killing of his wounded men. It was nothing more to that although those of Yey's supporters rejoice in repeating that gaffe continuously. Perhaps it is in their interest to have Hiiraale in the same morally bankrupt position their man is? Perhaps it is a legitimization thing? Hmm mayhap it is; legitimizes Abdullahi Yusuf a tiny bit more? Sxb Hiiraale hadii ay run katahay mar hore ayuu wax uu qabo sheegi lahaa, bal kawaran asagoo wali ah Wasiirka gaashaandhigga hadii uu kasoo horjeesan lahaa wixii Xamar kadhacay It is common knowledge the man was under house arrest with Ethiopian tanks placed in front of his house ever since the moment he told Abdullahi Yusuf and the Ethiopians not to engage in urban combat because of the civilian loss it could cost. Zenewi is the president of Somalia, even now Hiiraale is using politically correct language although getting his point across. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted May 16, 2007 I have never seen anyone that dedicated in defending the honor of a useless bafoon.Horn, at the end of the day, Hiiraale is a warlord no more or no less. There is no any other honor that anyone could bestow on him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
