LANDER Posted May 31, 2008 Originally posted by somalipride: Sep 29th 2005 | NAIROBI ? A shoot-out on September 23rd in Hargeisa, Somaliland's capital, resulted in the arrest of seven men loyal to the al-Qaeda brand. Somaliland's president, Dahir Riyale Kahnin, said the men were mostly locals, trained at a camp outside Mogadishu, the still-chaotic capital of Somalia proper. Some had received training in Afghanistan; at least one was internationally known. Their aim, he said, was to destabilise Somaliland by killing leaders and foreign aid workers, four of whom have been murdered by Islamist radicals since 2003. The combined faux-pas committed by this Riiyalee administration that is today on its last leg could never be compared to any single action taken by the so-called 'host' to the occupation in Somalia. First specifically speaking about the above event, those trouble making men that started a 3 hr shouttout with the police are also in no way comparable to the Islamic courts union that thrived in Mogadishu. The ICU was bringing order and peace to an area that hadn't known any for some 16 yrs, while these men in Hargeisa were trying to bring chaos, distability and violence to an area that hasn't seen such things in an equally long time. If they wish to take part in the political process and they feel that religion should play an active role in politics, than they can struggle for their cause in the political arena without having to resort to violence. So Riiyaale uses their arrest to score brownie points with the Americans, I still don't see how anyone with any sense of objectivity can draw a parallel to colonel Gabre's defacto maids.

Jacaylbaro Posted May 31, 2008 what is the big deal here ,, they were charged, their finished their term and they are ready to go home. Just to let you know about the justice, they are not forgotten in the jails, they are not killed, and they are not missing. North, those guys were working with the terroristts who killed the aid workers in 2003/2004 and they admitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
