Radio coverage of the event

[Suldaanka]

"Buurahakan xunxunka ah ee abaaruhu hayaan maxaa hoosyaala oo aynu isugu haysannaa" Col. Cadhays

" Why are we fighting over these useless baren desert hills " says cheif of the Puntland forces.

 

One wonders what he is doing there, if that is how he feels about the place? :confused:

[miles-militis]

One observes the imbalance ‘ween the two sides. On the Puntland side, it is a civilian matter even with Col Cadays of the Dervishes dressed in civilian clothing whereas on the Somaliland corner the mood is of hostile nature and of tense facade. Wonder what that says about the two sides.

 

Another observation is of the stark difference in appearance of the detainees. One the Puntland side, the detainees (from Somaliland) seem well fed, well dressed and well treated in custody whilst on the Somaliland side the case of the reverse. Again, one wonders?

 

Suldaanka – that statement epitomises the futility of the whole Somali saga. You do not seem to appreciate the depth of the statement, thusly go for the obvious. Rather predictable, would not you say?.

SAMURIA

 

While puntland did send ministers and somaliland sent only sent millitary officials but that does not mean we are less enthusiastic about genuine peace.

 

 

but somaliland will never comromise on its border intergaraty and am glad we are seeing signs from our brethens in garowe that they are willing to pull back their forces back over the border in peace.

[SOO MAAL]

Somaliland leaders cannot claim all the territories of former British Somaliland colony.

 

while somaliland is caln-state, as a leading somalilander politician give in an interview

 

The Arab expatriate Newspaper : is Republic of Somaliland Arab country ?

Mr. Faisal : Isaaks are Hashemi Arabs, and we now are not members in the Arab League.

for that reason somaliland should only claim northwest (hargeysa-burco-barbara triangle), other than that is aggression

 

It is known that whole Somaliland scheme, is based on mistreatment of one clan and building an alternative for that particular clan- a utopia clan-state. Nothing wrong if communities of particular region/clan want to build their state and self-determination. BUT the problem is when those who seeking of freedom and self-determination become hostile to their fellow brethren Somali neighbors

 

quchac, stop hypocrisy, you want want freedom for your clan-state and promoting aggression on another somali community

Rival Somali regions swap prisoners of war

NAIROBI, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Rival Somali enclaves have swapped 36 prisoners captured during a short short war last year, in a sign that reconciliation efforts are making progress, mediators said on Tuesday.

 

Fighting erupted in a disputed border region in October 2004 between Puntland and the rival enclave of Somaliland, which accused Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf, a former Puntland leader, of attacking it. At least 100 people were killed.

 

On Monday Somaliland freed 12 Puntland captives and Puntland released 24 Somaliland prisoners at a ceremony at Ari-Adeys village in the Sool area on the border, said the War-torn Societies Project (WSP), a conflict mediation organisation.

 

Rival captives hugged each other as they were exchanged.

 

"This event is a significant confidence-building gesture by both administrations," said Philippe Lazzarini, an official at the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

 

A WSP statement said: "Both sides expressed willingness to build on the goodwill manifested by this successful collaboration, which is already contributing directly to reduction of tensions in the area."

 

The swap follows six months of negotiations between the regions' governments, which are unrecognised internationally.

 

WSP has worked for years to build reconciliation in Somalia, a country of up to 10 million that descended into anarchy in 1991 following the ouster of dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

 

Yusuf, elected Somali president in October 2004 at national reconciliation talks, has pledged to work peacefully with Somaliland as he tries to restore order to the country.

 

Somaliland, an enclave on the Gulf of Aden, declared independence from Somalia in 1991 and has since enjoyed relative peace. But it has fought sporadic clashes with Puntland for years over the ownership of several border areas claimed by Puntland's leaders as their own on the basis of ethnicity.

 

Somaliland, a region of 3.5 to 4.5 million, won independence from Britain in 1960 and quickly joined neighbouring ex-Italian Somalia to form a united republic.

 

But an uprising against Siad Barre in the 1980s was followed by years of devastation as he turned his forces against the northwestern enclave.

 

WSP and other peace groups are trying to build grassroots reconciliation in several areas in Somalia in a project funded by the European Commission, Britain, the United States, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.

Relevant officials were in tune with the goings on and they are satisfied with how the event took place.

 

Another observation is of the stark difference in appearance of the detainees. One the Puntland side, the detainees (from Somaliland) seem well fed, well dressed and well treated in custody whilst on the Somaliland side the case of the reverse. Again, one wonders?

From where did you get that? Sxb, the important thing is not about how much one put on weigh but it is the psychological wellbeing and general physical healthyness that is important. And as far as how the prisoners were treated is concerned, both sides have said they were well looked after.

 

Suldaanka – that statement epitomises the futility of the whole Somali saga. You do not seem to appreciate the depth of the statement, thusly go for the obvious. Rather predictable, would not you say?.

He is not living up to what he is preaching sxb. That is the irony.

Its good news that common sense has returned. However Somali;s should not be prisoners in their own land specially in the 21 Century. May Allah give peace to all our people..

Salamu Calaykum,

 

Bro Samuria, I don't mean to take anything away from you but considering taking closer look at the POWs, they look great as far as the appearance; one with traditional clothings and the other with modern western clothing, neither seems ill fed or abused. Both sides nonetheless look good.

However, No one in this forum knows how badly or good they were treated and the only way we can find that out is if the prisnors themselves tell us how they were treated, but before that let us not make false accusations.

 

Assalamu Calaykum.

[MR ORGILAQE]

Could somebody tell me why they had to hold each other prisoner in the first place?.They all look the same,speak the same language,share the same faith,culture and teritory......ooh and guess what they all are in laws to each other and paternal uncles/aunts....

Hello!!!!! am i the only one who sees this Crap being fed to the Ummah!!!!!!

SALAMU CALAYKUM,

 

Brothers I found this article while serving the internet and I personally thank the columnist who wrote this article.This article gives you good details on the ground on who is fighting who and over what they believed to be fighting for; which evidently the answer is fighting over nothing.
