ANWAR Posted June 19, 2006 One can hardly miss the irony in Chairman Sheik Sharif’s comments to the townspeople of Jowhar. Militias loyal to Islamic Courts-allied warlord Yusuf “Indhaade†Mohamed Siad – the white-eyed devil that controls Lower Shabelle region – led the charge into Jowhar on June the 14th. Warlord Indhaade fancies himself as a “sheik†and certain Somali media outlets refer to him as such. Reality has always stated otherwise, however. Warlord Indhaade has a particularly dark history in contemporary Somalia. His militias have been involved in virtually every major intra-clan conflict in the southern theatre of the country. Whenever two clansmen fought, Indhaade was quick to become the third party and tip the balance of power. When Bashir Rageh – ex-Mogadishu businessman allied to the now-defunct ARPCT – fought against Abukar Adani, a leading financer of the Islamic Courts, warlord Indhaade threw the weight of his militias behind Adani, who eventually succeeded in routing Rageh from his stronghold in the outskirts of northern Mogadishu. In early 2005, internecine violence erupted in the city of Baidoa – a major trading center and the current home of the Somali transitional federal government (TFG) – between two opposing RRA (******* Resistance Army) factions. The Associated Press reported that, “The self-proclaimed leader of neighboring Lower Shabelle region, Sheik Yusuf Mohamed Siad Indha Ade, said he had sent fighters and pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns to Baidoa to back Habsadeh.â€2 (During that struggle for control of Baidoa, Habsadeh led the RRA faction that opposed the TFG’s attemps to temporarily house itself in the city. Supported by Indha Ade’s militias, Habsadeh’s RRA faction was successful in expelling the TFG-allied RRA faction from Baidoa). Warlord Indha Ade’s dark history hardly stops there. An October 2005 report released by the United Nations Security Council on violations of the 1992 arms embargo on Somalia portrayed the true nature of the white-eyed devil of the fertile Shabelle valley. The U.N. report stated that, to exercise control of the region, “Indha Ade has his own militia, made up of men from his clan, and other militias from the same clan group, ********.â€3 Indha Ade uses his clansmen to impose clan hegemony on the unarmed civilian population of Lower Shabelle region, which has suffered successive invasions since the collapse of the Somali nation-state in 1991. As things stand today, all the district commissioners of Lower Shabelle region are from warlord Indha Ade’s sub-clan within the ******* clan-family. The non-******** clans who have traditionally inhabited Lower Shabelle region consider the presence of warlord Indha Ade’s militias in their home region as an occupation and native resistance fighters have carried out covert operations against the positions of Indhaade’s militias. Furthermore, the U.N. report publicized warlord Indha Ade’s drug operations: “Indha Ade also owns drug farms in the area under his control,†the report read. The resounding question in the minds of many is this: How can a man claim to be a “sheik†but run, according to the U.N. report, a “sophisticated†drug operation in the fertile region he occupies through his clan's military muscle? I Love and I Support THE ICU, BUT NOT WARLORD Indha Ade :mad: _______________ Edit clan names out of your copy and paste articles, baliis.
