Abtigiis Posted September 15, 2010 Ngonge, I said it yesterday. They were not in those mountains where Somaliland claimed they are surrounded. I am telling you the facts. Somaliland learned about the whole issue from Ethiopians on 13 September. On 13 September the men were much closer to Biyoqaboobe, near Danbal. In fact, the Ethiopians got a word of this whole thing, possibly from their intelligence in Asmara or a mole in Issays's military. From ten days ago, the Ethiopian military were crossing into Awdal and parts of Salal to follow on the story. But whether it is by design or pure luck, they didn't manage to be where the ONLF marines landed, and only learned about the arrival of the contingent once they reached the Ethiopian border. They got the tip-off from what is known as "Finance Police", (waa policka la dagaalanka contro-banka) oo arinta ogaaday. The Ethiopians sent army to the border areas, but mainly concentrated in closing all likely entry points into the hinterland. The ONLF contingent splited itself into 3 groups and marched to different areas to decrease the chances of detection. Two of the groups safely reached their destination. One group met the Ethiopian forces between Biyoqaboobe and Danbal (50 Kms North West of Jigjiga). A very fierce battle took place with casualities on both sides. It is possible there is big casualties on ONLF side too [ we are checking on the accurate figures]. But those who survived managed to break and go forward further to the interior. Ayoub, I know they used trucks. I don't know if they hid in the containers you talk about. But if they did that, I applaud them. The objective is to arrive safely, and the end justifies the means. You are clutching on straws since yesterday. Kolba sheeko meesha ha la iman. Away raggaad ku hareereesneyd ilaa shaly. Generaalada guryasamo iyo Jigjiga-yar ku mirqaamaya miyaa wax hareereeyn?

NGONGE Posted September 15, 2010 ^^ I am asking you about the landing and reaching the border part dee. How did that happen? Was it done openly or was it a covert operation (i.e. Salt jars) as SL claims? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted September 15, 2010 NG, I know they used trucks. The details didn't matter for me. It may give some comfort to SL to say they hid. I have no problem with that. Let us not change the real topic. Were they surrounded at any point? NO! Did SL learn about the arrival and safe passage before they were home and dry? Yes. About the fighting, it may give you some clue to click at Cakaaranews today. http://www.cakaaranews.com/ The lead story is Cabdiraxmaan Gurey and Lembo watching a footie tournament, after all the shriek yesterday.

NGONGE Posted September 15, 2010 ^^ The details didn't matter? They do this every day, do they? Warya.. if you're going to spin it dee at least entertain me. At any rate, I am asking so that I have an idea of the full story from your side (full story) before comparing it to the two other sides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faafan Posted September 15, 2010 A&T No casualties on the ONLF side.If it did its minimal.I have spoken to a large nuumber of people, some of them spoke directly to high-ranking officials and the troops are safe.They stopped contact for a while as they had to switch there military communication systems off but there was contact this morning and the news was good.There in good spirits.

Maaddeey Posted September 15, 2010 ^Ayoub, weli su'aashi wey taagantahay: 'ha la hubiyo xataa ma dheheysiin miyaa?'. Hadda waxaa hubanti ah, in ciidan SL uusan waxba uusan ku hareereysanyn, sida uu A & T hadalka u dhigayna ay runtu tahay!. A & T, Shabeelleey dadka qaar ugu yaraan fikrad waa ka heystaan halka ay ku taal, oo masaafada ay jirto & mapkaba waxaa soo dhejiyey Ferguson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted September 15, 2010 ONLF has no doubt achieved operational excellence. It is not easy for hundreds of armed men to slip undetected with their armory and logistics, traveling a distance of 150 km. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xiinfaniin Posted September 15, 2010 ^^A better explanation for ONLF's success might be the length of Northern’s coast, and perhaps the presence of sympathetic, local supporters. Like General Taani said, xeebtu aad bay u dheertahay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
