Thankful Posted May 25, 2009 Somaliland.org Some people wondered why Riyaale read an unrelated out of topic hand written speech with no substance, full of lies, and had no connection with the occasion of May 18th! In fairness to him what would an ex-NSS agent who in a strange twist of fate became president for the very people he fought against them when he even did not convert, say? What would the guy, who happened to be in the wrong place, for the wrong occasion, say? What would he say? Would he tell the truth once and for all and say, “ I have a blood in my hands. I looted the country to the finish. I and Awil and Ina Sulub are creating a civil war and the operation is on process and in progress!” Instead Riyaale talked about Al shabaab fighting in Somalia. He rightly called them “AAFO” a menace to the region! The author agrees him for the first time in this! Indeed they are! What Riyaale forgot to say was that, he and his gang are also “ AAFO- QARAN” a menace to the peninsula! Riyaale the illegitimate president, his brain Mr. Awil and flock, ruling Somaliland up side down and Al Shabaab of Somalia have distinct and destructive similarity! Both the groups boost a danger not only to their respective countries, Somalia and Somaliland, but to the whole region as well, each one in their own unique ways, means and methods! Both the remnants of Somaliland and A Shabaab of Somalia committed a gross violation of human rights! Both of them disregard the process of democracy! In fact democracy it self! Both of them have dictatorial tendencies. They are the wrong flock to be around in the first and second place! They are a real problem Somalia and Somaliland have to tackle. The region and the international community must understand or help them to understand the gravity of the problem the Siyad Barre remnants everywhere and Al Shabaab boost to the area. Remnants in Somaliland are busy a) looting the country to the deck! b) They are also busy creating civil war in a calm and calculated way! Al Shabaab on the other hand is doing their evil undertaking violently. Somaliland was founded on the bases of: Reflection and not Retribution, Forgiveness and not revenge. Conflict resolution and not conflict creating, Compromise, consensus and common ground. The remnants running Somaliland wrongly turned the above virtues and principles upside down! Corruption is beyond bound! They brought shame and disgrace to Somaliland as they and their mentor Siyad Barre did to what once was-Somali Republic. Saving Somaliland is saving the region from another Somalia, a sure disaster! Remnants are fanning a fire that could consume the region Peaceful Somaliland my end up violent like Somalia! Somaliland my end up Al Shabaab territory if the local and the international community fail to check and ultimately defeat the remnants in Somaliland Somaliland is stranded with a lapse of judgment in a moment emotions overflowed when Siyad Barre was defeated by the popular SNM! Somaliland sovereignty and existence cannot be traded away as the remnants want to! Lastly the local and the international community must work together to save Somaliland from the remnants who are a different other side of the same coin with Al Shabaab of Somalia! Both are demons of destruction, which we have to confront and defeat! However, peace Ibrahim Mead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
