SOS ( Somalia On Sale) An Open Auction

[Nur]

Islam teaches fairness and transparency in all of our dealings , unfortunately our country is being sold out in a quasi daylight robbery style by Warlord bandits to American Neocons for peanuts. This serious thought inspired me to look into the possibility of an actual sale of Somalia in a public auction to benefit Somali people, here are my thoughts.

 

 

Somalia is a failed nation, ( According To International Media Definition ) . Like any bankrupt company, if the company can not be restructured to be saved, the next best option is to sell it publicly to the highest bidder in a transparent way.

 

The case in Somalia is that the failure of the nation was criminally intentional, carefully planned and played out by local warlords and politicians on behalf of potential super power buyers at the cheapest possible price. (Payable in cash to the Somali politicians and Warlords via Addis Ababa Banks overseen by ( CIA)Council for International Acquisitions)

 

I think if we are going to sell our Country to foreign interests such as the USA, we should at least bargain for the best cash return for our people, so that every Somali can live comfortably ever after from the auction proceeds.

 

If we consider all Somalians as stake holders of their country's stocks ( Livestock, Oil, Real Estate, Agriproducts, Mining, Tourism, and Hosting of Military warships), due to the fact that the owners of Somalia are in permanent disagreement, then the best thing to do is ( NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER ) instead, we should conduct a professional valuation of the Country's inventory of valuable resources, then sell it to the best bidder so that all Somalis can share the wealth that Abdullahi Yusuf and Geddi are selling for peanuts ( literally American Aid in the form of overproduced peanuts ).( Ethiopians are buying our beaches and sea ports for Qat narcotic weeds to warlords )

 

 

Now, let us begin a raw valuation exercise.

 

1. Livestock :

 

A. Camels ( 9 Million heads @ $300/head ) = $2.7 Billion

 

B. Goats and sheep (60 Million at $25/head) = $1.5 Billion

 

C. Cattle ( 20 Million @ 150/Head) =$3 Billion

 

d. Fish and seafood (According to UN stats, 1% of Somalis fisheries yearly catch of stolen fish by foreign trawlers is $ I Billion, let us assume 10% for ten years = $100 Billion.

 

e. Wild Animals, Anarchists and Warlords: $ 20 Billion ( Buyer: Los Angels Zoo).

 

 

2. Real Estate ( Without Mining / Agricultural/ Telecoms spectrum/Tourist Rights): Area of Country (627337 Sq KM @ $5/km = 627,337,000,000* $5 = 3,136,685,000,000 Three Trillions, one hundred thirty six Billion.

 

3. Natural Gas: ( Very speculative) = 6.7 Trillion Cubic Meters of Gas @ $12/1000 Cubic Meters = $ 80 Trillion.

 

4. Oil: ( Speculative) 350 Billion Barrels @ $50/Barrel = $17.5 Trillion

 

5. Mining Rights: Uranium and largely unexploited reserves of iron ore, tin, gypsum, bauxite, copper, salt, Gold, Silver, Titanium, and all other precious metals mining rights to be sold @ 2 trillion Dollars.

 

6. Agricultural Rights: 14 Million of Ten meters deep super fertile topsoil along banks of Jubba and Shabelle @ $30 Billion

 

7. Telecoms / Media Spectral Rights: 3 Billion

 

8. Tourism : 3,000,000. Sq.Km of crystal sands beaches @ $1 Million/Sq Km = $ 3 Trillions

 

9. Airspace rights for Strategic NATO, China or Russia Military use ( Minimum bid $ 10 Billion)

 

10. Kyoto Pollution Quota Trading CER: ( sale of Certified Emissions Reduction of Billions tons of CO2 to the environment) Free with Military bases rights Only to the Annex 1 countries, signatories of Kyoto Protocol) , we can also sell CAR (Certified Anarchy Reductions Credits only to USA ) to the architects of International Anarchy themselves, George Bush, Condi Rice's creative Chaos For World Robbery)

 

12. Military Uses and Strategic Bases Free with purchase of Real Estate and Airspace.

 

Grand Total after Bulk Discount: U$83 Trillion ( Eighty Three Trillions ), ( Better deal than price Russians sold Alaska to USA!)

 

Somali population are estimated are approximately @ 15 Million worldwide.

 

Every Somali, man woman and child will be paid $5.3 Million Dollars for such a sale.

 

Imagine how much money a Somali family of eight can get?

 

Over 40 Million US Dollars! That is right, that is what Geeddi and Abdullahi Yusuf are selling to the Client regime in Addis Ababa the buying agent for a hungry superpower!

 

 

Now that looks like a Fair Deal !

We don't sell our country for cheap!

[Biixi]

"Every Somali, man woman and child will be paid $2 Million Dollars."

Good idea, but I'm afraid this will cause more problems.

 

Some one will argue that they(his group) more money since they control this area or that area. Another group will make the same claim and another and another.

 

I would suggest weapons collections, and the first group to do so should lead the country and so on and on. Then groups should be rewarded what they contribute to the country starting after the weapons collections. Each group should set up a competition for its members competing in new innovation of fresh water consumption, domestic production,....self sufficiency. The ultimate winner will be the group that show the best productivity and humility, and asks for no reward.

 

How is that for starters

[Rahima]

Nur, i'm all for the sale. I could do a lot with that kind of dough; perhaps buy the citizenship of some other god-forsaken African nation which is not colonised by another god-forsaken African nation?

 

At least then i'll have sovereignty, poverty won't sound so bad.

[Nur]

Bixi bro.

 

Your suggestion is exactly what has taken us to this point of anarchy, each clan is jockeying to control as much resources as possible before a settlement. Somalis are a nomadic people, unfortunately despite of the education some of them have received, clan loyalty and fighting over resources is the main driver of our anarchy.

 

If each clan leader is bought cheaply by an outsider, they will sell the nation cheap, however if we colectively auction Somalia, we can either sell the nation and share the wealth, or we can decide to keep our nation but get rid of the warlords-turned-government monkeys, who are responsible for the death of thousands of our people for the past 16 years. My article was only to highlight the value of transparency if each clan agrees to follow a local loser of their kind. Clan members should know that by supporting their local loser, that he is laughing all the way to the bank selling his own clan and the nation for his personal glory and financial gain.

 

 

Rahima sis.

 

How would you invest your $2 Million national gain?

[Malika]

Rahima,I think we have already secured so many citizenships,of many variety of nationalities..most through begging,jailing,lying etc etc..

 

Bixii..groups,will only breed further more gap in the society,it will create further more competition,we had enough of reer heblaa,iyo reer heblayoo..

[Warrior of Light]

Salaam Bro. Nur

 

Hypothetically,

we sell, what next? They want our land they dont want us? the people. A majority of our people wont know how to use such cash. And which Buyer on Earth will be willing to buy us? They(westerners) want us cheap and not when we put our conditions, they are cowards.Do you think they will run away? So with the cards on the table in our favor, what will become of us, the common man? I think more killing as people are greedy thus more confusion and israf on earth.

[Nur]

WOL sis

 

Who can buy Somalia? well in a transparent auction held live on AL JAZEERAH TV. I think that the top 10 Billionnaires in the world( Worth the GNP of the poorest 135 Countries) can put a good offer on the table, they dont have to put up 100% of the price, just 5 % down and the rest to be paid as equity, plus cash payments for the next 100 years, as they invest in Somalia by manageing the country professionally like one of their successful companies., not like the Ethiopian and TFG clowns.

 

The second option is to float an IPO, listing Somalia shares in New York, London, Tokyo markets, imagine the buying frenzy this historical IPO of a country can create, true Globalization, I think if we take this option that we dont have to sell the entire country, just 30% of the total, then we can appoint Xiin Fanin, Rahima, WOL, Ngonge, Biixi and Northerner as the Board members representing the people ( I trust these Nomads wont sell us too like the current clowns).

 

Just imagine, in the openning day, you can sell 5% of your shares to get quick cash, in your case if the trading opens at double your eNuri Auctionneers allocated $53 Million shares, which is 1$106 Million, then you can get a quick $5.3 Million enough to build your own hospital in Moshi to cure the intellctually challenged Nomads!

Palestinians won’t accept a Vichy government

 

By Khalid Amayreh

 

06/18/07 "ICH" -- -- - Occupied Jerusalem, 17 June 2007 -- -The vast bulk of Palestinians, at home and in the Diaspora, will not accept a quisling government in Ramallah that might be at Israel’s beck and call. This is precisely what the Bush administration and Israel expect the new government, headed by Salam Fayyad, to be.

Of course, it is entirely up to Fayyad and his cabinet to prove the falseness of Israeli bedding and American expectations.

 

Unfortunately, the new government seems to offer a little promise for a better tomorrow for the thoroughly starved, exhausted and tormented Palestinians.

 

Indeed, the deafening silence by Abbas and Fayyad, et al, in the face of widespread thuggish behavior by well-known armed hooligans who have been vandalizing and burning down buildings, institutions and businesses throughout the West Bank, is very telling.

 

True, the government is still a few hours’ old. However, the absence of even a verbal condemnation of the orgy of terror and vandalism against suspected Hamas supporters and their families and businesses doesn’t augur well for the future.

 

Predictably, the US and Israel have been heaping wholesome praise on the Fayyad government. Moreover, the US and Israel have already signaled their enthusiastic willingness to lift all financial sanctions against the occupied West Bank, apparently to strengthen the Dahlan-Abbas camp against other Palestinians who refuse to be bribed or intimidated into giving in to Israeli insolence and arrogance of power.

 

The Fayyad Government may be temporarily pleased by the American and Israeli support. However, it should understand that American and Israeli backing is like a poisoned chalice.

 

Experience proved that in the Middle East any government or faction or organization backed by the US will be reviled by the masses. This is especially true in the occupied Palestinian territories where collaboration with Israel, which controls America’s politics and policies, is seen as ultimate treason.

 

The Palestinian masses know very well what the US symbolize for them, their children and their enduring cause. It symbolizes oppression in its ugliest forms. It symbolizes mass murder, land theft, dispossession, deprivation and ultimate mendacity and hypocrisy. America is the enabler, sustainer and justifier of 40 years of Israeli Nazism whose ultimate goal is the obliteration of Palestinians as a nation, by arrogating their homeland for them and making their future as precarious as possible.

 

In short, America to the Palestinians is very much like what Nazi Germany was to the Jews. Hence, any government agreeing to throw itself into the American lap will lose its legitimacy if not its very existence. This is probably the reason why Palestinians in the Gaza Strip didn’t fight for Muhammed Dahlan and his men.

 

During the past 18 months, the US, through people like Keith Dayton, gave us a lot of money and weapons to kill each other in the service of Israel, which doesn’t really distinguish between this or that Palestinian group, as long as they reject the occupation and insist on freedom.

 

That happened while the US and Israel (and also the hypocritical EU governments) made sure to starve and impoverish ordinary Palestinians in the hope that they would revolt against Hamas and abandon Palestinian aspirations, in return for bread and American money.

 

Yes, America gave us weapons to kill each other, while making sure to starve and torment us, as if the Nazis of our time wanted us to kill and be killed hungry.

 

These are not allegations or unsubstantiated claims but well-known facts. US officials and media have been openly speaking about igniting civil war in Gaza and the West Bank. Elliot Abrams, who is answerable to AIPAC, even boasted about his success in setting Palestinians against each other.

 

Unfortunately, President Abbas never bothered to tell the Palestinian people why and for what purpose he was amassing all these American-supplied weapons? Was it because he wanted to fight the Israeli occupation? Or was it to decapitate Hamas in one full swoop when the opportunity arose? And if the latter was the reason, then can we say that Hamas was justified in its preemptive action in Gaza?

 

Honest Palestinians knew from the very inception what was going on. The writing was on the wall for a long time, and the national apostasy on the part of certain Palestinian leaders was getting starker and starker.

 

There is no doubt that any close identification of the new government with the Israeli occupier will invite its demise, and that could happen sooner rather than later.

 

More to the point, it is wrong and misleading to assume that the Fatah movement in its entirety would back a government that says “yes” to Israel and the US.

 

A government as such would be a treacherous government, a quisling entity.

 

Therefore, the new government should watch its steps very carefully and refrain from reaching any agreement with the Zionist regime that could compromise our national rights.

 

This is not a matter of Fatah vs. Hamas. This is a matter of Palestine and Palestine is not for sale.

Fresh News from Somalia indicate that the depopulation of Somalia is taking a new twist, Ethiopian troops, proxies for the USA are indiscriminately shooting-to-kill civilians and kids to cause unprecedened exodes of more than 100 thousand residents of Mogadishu this past weekend.

 

The UN, OAU and EU meanwhile, can't see the plight of the Somalis under the Ethiopian mercenary guns, they are all preoccupied and concerned with Darfour (politically correct cause), while Somalis are rotting in the streets.

 

More people have been displaced in Somalia than Darfour, and much more killed, but the Media moguls decide which hungry crying baby is going to be on the nightly news, a Darfur baby or a Somali baby? well the US prefers, a Darfur baby.

The western Media has its tail between its legs in shame, the internet is exposing all that was swept under the criminal rugs, history is recording through this medium all the attrocities the "civilized" countries are conducting in the "develping" countries, its pathetic and sick, how corrupt politicians and the meida has turned to become of late.

Assalamu calaykum,

 

Nuurow, I hate to say but you have forgotten the "intellectual assets" that somalis have been bestowed with;

 

1) Af minshaarism

 

2) Ma shaqeeystesm

 

3) Jaahilnimo pride

 

4) and my favourite; Qabqablesm

 

Auction also the venues of the above; Bunge; the fadhi-ku-dirir, the barlamaanka xuroyadda!

 

If we could auction these attributes to say the Germans, the scandnavians etc then we may stand a chance of minding the camels, the cattle, the goats and sheep- and who knows one or two people could turn the iron into steel to make knives.

1) Af minshaarism needs to be structured as modern business model before we can sell the concept.

 

2) Ma shaqeeystesm: is due to the fact that all Somalis want to become Presidents, which is reasonable since Presidents do not have a need for knowlegde of any particular topic. It can be sold as a bundle with Af Minshaarism.

 

3) Jaahilnimo pride: This is an abundant commodity, I think it should be listed in major Fianancial markets, The Somali Jaahilnimo Kibir Index can drive all other indexes to annihilation.

 

4) Qabqablesm: I think we can sell this one to the Republican party as they seem to admire it, but the need a global version before we can sell, so tell your Qabqablayaal to perfect their act.

A draft resolution that would permit states fighting piracy to " take all necessary measures ashore in Somalia, including in its airspace " has been circulated to members of the UN Security Council. Prior consent for raids would be required from Somalia's weak and fractured government..

 

 

COMMENTARY:

 

Abandoned by the World: UN Declares Open Season on Somalia

 

by Chris Floyd

 

Wednesday, 17 December 2008

 

With this resolution, the entire world – the entire world – has turned its back on the people of Somalia. They have been abandoned as utterly, completely – and officially -- as any people in history.

 

We reported here last week about American plans to turn Somalia into a global free-fire zone, with powerful militaries from around the world given carte blanche to launch armed incursions into Somali territory and fill the nation's skies with bombers, fighters and missiles. This nightmare scenario --- an unlimited escalation of bloodshed and destruction in one of the most ravaged, shattered lands on earth – has now become a reality, as the Washington Post reports:

 

The UN Security Council voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize nations to conduct military raids, on land and by air, against pirates plying the waters off the Somalia coast... The U.S.-drafted resolution authorizes nations to "use all necessary measures that are appropriate in Somalia" in pursuit of pirates, as long as they are approved by the country's transitional federal government .

 

The provision about the " approval " of the Somalia's "transitional federal government" is, of course, a cynical joke on the part of the Security Council. This so-called government – put in place by foreign invaders, riddled with warlords and paid CIA assets – has not only lost control of virtually the entire country; it is now in the process of completely disintegrating. In the past few days, the Somali president, Abdullahi Yusuf, dismissed Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein and appointed someone else in his place, as Reuters reports. The Somali parliament rejected Yusuf's move and reinstated Hussein, who met this week with his cabinet.

 

Now there are two " transitional governments ," neither of which have any genuine authority or power. In the unlikely event that one of these Western-installed paper entities raises an objection to an incursion on their soil by foreign forces in pursuit of alleged pirates (or anyone the foreigners arbitrarily designate as a "pirate"), then the other one can give the required "permission" instead. But as the Security Council well knows, it is inconceivable that any incarnation of the "Transitional Federal Government" will prevent any major power from doing whatever it wants in Somalia.

 

The UN decision is being portrayed as a "diplomatic triumph" for Condoleeza Rice, who "personally pushed for the resolution's passage." So she has taken on personal responsibility for an act that will lead inexorably and inevitably to the slaughter of innocent Africans. This fact is recognized not only by humanitarian groups like Oxfam but even by one of U.S. military officers who will be tasked with putting the resolution into practice, as the Post reports:

 

Aid groups, meanwhile, said the approval of military raids could worsen the situation on the ground. "Expanding anti-piracy operations inside Somalia risks further complicating the conflict and could exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis," said Nicole Widdersheim, who heads Oxfam International's New York office. She urged nations to focus on reducing violence within the country, rather than "the threat to commercial interests from piracy off the Somali coast."

 

The commander of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet warned last week that ground attacks on suspected Somali pirates would put the lives of innocent civilians at risk.

 

But for Rice – a major war criminal who has been deeply involved in, among many other things, the illegal invasion of Iraq and the construction of the Bush gulag's torture regimen – these considerations are nothing. She even claims to have no idea of how U.S. forces will engage in "hot pursuit" of pirates, or what the parameters of these incursions – such as the "acceptable" level of "collateral damage" – will be:

 

Rice told reporters Tuesday, "What we do or do not do in cases of hot pursuit we'll have to see, and you'll have to take it case by case."

 

" We'll have to see." Imagine some overwhelmingly powerful force claiming the right to launch armed raids into your town. You ask: What can we expect? What should we prepare for? What will trigger it? How bad will it be? Should we send the children away? Should we all flee? What should we do? And only one answer comes from the bristling camp of the marauders: "We'll have to see."

 

This is a sickening display of moral depravity – on a par with Rice's fearmongering evocations of "mushroom clouds" to panic the American people into support for a war of aggression against Iraq. Yet good progressives tell us that we should be happy for Condi's moments of personal happiness, and hope that she puts "her experience and intelligence to work" for the good of the country in the years to come. (See "Happy Days: No Crime, No Foul for the Media-Political Club.")

 

As I noted in the previous piece on the UN resolution:

 

And now the Bush Regime -- going out in a Götterdämmerung of blood and fury aimed at the world (and at the American people) -- wants to intensify the chaos in Somalia, laying it bare to more invasions, "precision strikes," death squad operations, renditions and other atrocities, this time coming from not just from Washington and its Terror War proxies but from all directions. This is the answer of the American militarist state to any problem, such as piracy or terrorism: the blunderbuss assault of massive military force by land, sea and air; vast destruction, social collapse -- and immeasurable, unbounded human suffering. ."

 

But let us not succumb to American exceptionalism in this case. The UN Security Council resolution is a virulent product of a global militarism, the universal warlordism that finds expression sometimes in ragged bands of fighters in desert, mountain or jungle enclaves – and sometimes in the clean and carpeted halls of vast nation-states and international institutions. With this resolution, the entire world – the entire world – has turned its back on the people of Somalia. They have been abandoned as utterly, completely – and officially -- as any people in history. At least there was some opposition in the Security Council to the American rape of Iraq; but this declaration of open season on Somalia – this univeral license to kill Somalis granted to every government on earth – passed unanimously. Without demur, without protest, with no objection.

 

Are there pirates in Somalia? Yes. Have they hindered some commercial operations? Yes. Are there criminal organizations in the United States, in Europe, in Russia, in China, in the Middle East? Yes. Do they hinder some commercial operations? Yes. (And far more violently and extensively than the Somali pirates, we might add.) But only the Somali people are subjected to the murderous strictures of the UN's draconian edict. Only the Somali people are being condemned to die – by the United Nations – for the actions of criminals within their borders.

 

There are many injustices in the world, of course; murder, destruction and cruelty almost beyond reckoning – and most of it slathered in pious hypocrisy and self-righteousness of one sort or another. But I've never seen anything quite like the relentless assault on the Somali people in the past two years – and the near-universal silence that has greeted this on-going abomination. It is a blot on all humanity.

[S.O.S]

The UN has never wasted any opportunity to betray Somalis for the last 50 years. We have never had in reality friends or allies we could trust and had the best intention for us, save Allah (swt). Millions have suffered while heedless amateur politicians are selling themselves to be used by foreign powers in exchange of satisfying twisted motives and personal gain.

 

Every time I came across some news doing round the restaurant I ate relating to Kenya-Ethiopia axis, United Nations or any of the western countries involved are facilitating or financing the creation of a Somali government, I thought of the Trojan Horse. For you should fear most those enemies who pretend to gift you something –Timeo Danaos et dona frenten! Yet we are where we are: Do we not learn?
