Che -Guevara Posted July 26, 2010 I have heard it, what's your take on the situation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted July 26, 2010 in principle, I am with faroole on this. I may disagree on tactics, but this Atom guy and his melitia are no farmers peacefully residing on Galgala, he represents an entity that is challenging an established authority ...

Jacpher Posted July 26, 2010 Four hundred armed militia including foreign nationals with an allegiance to Shabaab? Army within army? State within a state? This should have never been allowed. This ain't bakaaraha. Time to smoke 'em out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted July 26, 2010 Jacpher, Faroole's strategy was wise; it was wise to let the elders talk to Atom, it was wise to communicate western intelligences that his matter is under control, and it was wise to give time to local efforts. that is why this thing lasted this long. this is very small conflict, and Puntland was never under threat from it to begin with...but an armed group with questionable allegiances so close to the economy life line of Puntland was hard to tolerate ...

Duufaan Posted July 26, 2010 This local man is confused and choked. His testmenoy is not clear. Boosaaso port is the life line for millions of somalis and this group is a bigger problem than Faroole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liibaan Posted July 26, 2010 Faroole is doing everything he can to destroy the former Punland, soon Faroole will be the mayor of Garowe Faroole is a big liar and dumb, like Riyaale/Siilaanyo he is using the terror card against people of Maakhir, Darawiish (sanaag, Sool and Cayn) The fool already tried to use the terror card against Daraawiish/SSC, and he failed big time, now the chief pirate Faroole is trying to use same tactics against peaceful people of Maakhir, for sure he will fail second time This will be the end of Pirate Faroole and his gang militia, no more piracy in Horn of Africa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Action Posted July 27, 2010 For those who are unaware what sheikh Atam is upto, here the proof from a local resident of Galgala that he is a front for alshabaab. 400 well trained and well armed including foreign fighers is not easy to assemble in the mountains near Bosaso unless theie ajenda is to cause maiham in the Bender Qasim. Faroole needs to grow a pair and the secret deal with Atam have backfired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maaddeey Posted July 27, 2010 ^^Nin VOA laga wareystay oo run & been wuxuu sheegayo la garaneyn miyaad 'proof' u taqaannaa?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Duke Posted July 27, 2010 ^^^ No the proof is that he [Atom] admired that he was Al Shabaab and that his troops werecrushed yesterday by the PIS and others. Puntland is no weak Mogadishu who's people have been fooled. No Adeer it is not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
