clashes in Buaale + Build up in Bur-Hakabo.

[Jaylaani]

Morgan Retired in Mugadisho? Why not in Boosaaso? He's from there right?

[General Duke]

^^^He is from Bari originally but has been a southerner most of his life.

[Jaylaani]

I know he's married to Siyad Barre's daughter. So he isn't involved with politics of either side by choice or they don't want him? Obviously, he can't be a warlord all over again.

[General Duke]

^^^No he is retired, and so should stay out of public view.

[RedSea]

Retired? lol. He is studying the Quran now and the Diin, more like reprogramed, he will come out with whole new name like Abu Xamsa,before you know it, he will visit his hometown, former hometown that is.

[Allamagan]

^^^ and he will be back to Hargeysa as the chief Qaadi of the MAxkamda HArgeysa

[RedSea]

^lol, very funny.Adeer,I will welcome him as Abu Xamsa not as the Morgan.

 

How do you like that one right there yaa magan?

[General Duke]

^^^You got your just deserts, good one Alamagan. But Morgan refused to attack Kismayu for the courts so forget other places.

[Jaylaani]

I just found out WASIIRKA GAASHAANDHIGA ee dawlada Cabdilaahi Yusuf is this cat named Bare Hiraale who was fighting with the wadaadada gadhka yuuban in Kismaayo….DOES THAT MEAN he was fighting on behalf of the TFG? If so, could we say the TFG was defeated in Kismayo?

[Jaylaani]

DUke,

 

Can you please answer this question for me?

 

Thanks.

[General Duke]

Jaylaani, Barre Hiiraale was defeated in Buaale, he was fighting the clan courts, who attacked his position Kismayu. It was a local issue and the main TFG force did not take part in the clashes.

[Jaylaani]

Duke,

 

But he is the minister of defense for TFG…correct?

 

I’m so confused with the political system of these groups.

[NASSIR]

Duke, I heard a rumor that Barre went with his own plan instead of a different and peaceful approach for the Kismayo issue. Had the old man offered an advice for his Defense Minister to work with the plan of the government. Do you think his counter-attacks and desperate attempt to retake Kismayo will undermine the credibility of the government?

[General Duke]

^^^Yes he is but only for a few months now, he never took his office in Baidoa and was close to what is the clan courts a few weeks ago.

He was part of the JVA that held Kismayu, it was an alliance of two clans, one is now leading the clan courts the other has been sidelined out of Kismayu.

 

All politics is local.

You also have a right to be confused..

[NASSIR]

Thanks for the clarification
