Paragon Posted April 17, 2010 “It was shortly after 1am when the gunmen raided our town, they have attacked several places, including Ali-arif and Abdi-adoon hotels,” a witness told us on phone from Liboi Town. ---- Oh no. This is bad news for reer Libooye. It's going back to the bad old days when they use to endure nightly raids. In 2007 I spent 3 nights in Ali Arif's lodging and I actually slept under the stars because of the good level of security. I know Ali Arif in person - a friend of my old man (AUN). In fact I really loved my visit to Libooye and I am actually thinking of going back there next year to renovate some houses the family owned there. Now with Al-Shabaab in Dhoobleey, it's forget about both places. Al-Shabaab is bad news. Horta nimanku do they have anything against building/renovating mosques in that area? And the school and madrassa? I'm sure the madrassa would be forced to teach their agenda. What's their policy on that, Maaddeey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
