A testimony on Ali Khaliif Galeyr

[Carafaat]

I read a couple of times how diffrent Nomad's accused Ali Khaliif Galeyr of corruption with the funds of Mareerey Sugar Factory. And potrayed him as a thief. This is a grave lie and a sin, if we keep silent and dont testify against these vicous lies spread by the dictatorial regime against an intellectual who opposed the crimes, theft and injustice of the old dictatorial nepotist regime.

 

Ali Khaaliif Galeyr indeed led the Mareerey Sugar Project. This project was funded by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia Goverments. The factory was build, project was finished, the accounts closed and the project, financial and accounting reports were handed by the Somali goverment to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Who APPROVED The accounts and financial reports. Ali Khaaliif and his team were commended by many for the work they have done, and there was not a shiilling wasted because of the transparency mechanism of this project. In fact Ali Khaliif Galeyr did not even directly control the funds, but his financial accounting team did which was composed of diffrent members. Among them a close family members of mine, who is willing to testify in public, any court and above all to Allah against these lies and murder of an honoust character.

 

In fact Ali Khaliif was one of the most transparant and not corrupted public figures who promoted then to a Ministerial functioning after the project ended around 1981. Due to the work he has done with Marreey Sugar factory. And this is when he saw the corrupt, nepotist, rotten culture of the regime from the inside and when he started to oppose it. He left the country as Minister after leaving as the Project Director of Mareerey factory and it was workng more then 2 years. He went in to political exile and this is went the sick and dying regime started spreading lies and rumours about the man. He was the highest political figure who opposed the regime(excl SNM), who knew the system and the figures from the inside. That is why the regime did its utterly best to start this smear campaign against the person Ali khaliif Galeyr.

 

In exile he wrote many articles critizing the regime. One of those articles I recelty is called, Notes of the State of the Somali State , published in the Horn of Africa, an independent Journal, jan 1990. In interesting article describing the rotten state and decay of Somalia and its causes. Anyone who reads that article will see that this man was morally and ethicly opposed to the regime and its dealings, murdering and was willing to testify against it because it was wrong.

A little interestinf fact. Siilanyo and Galeyr were the most senior(both) Minister who opposed the regime and went to exile around 1981.

[Dervish]

Lol siilanyo ran into the mountains after he was demoted.

Afweyne's son-in-law

, by the name of

Ina Dafle

, who was a minister of planning of that time.

 

For silanyo was a minster of commerce of that government; and Galeydh was the minster of industry of the same government.

Thanks for the correction Oodweyneh.

I have just been told that Ina-Khaalif Galaydh was a Minister in Siyaad Barre's Government and he was either demoted or resigned in 1982. Any truth to that?

Carafaat, though some of the regime's employees from ministerial to lower rank have corrupted elements, it was also a practice to accused those against the regime as corrupt and theifery. Even some got arrested for that without proof and other escape. But honestly corruption was also common and still is common in somali's leadership.. Same people are those running offices now..

 

To say the lastly, on this case, Ali Galaydh was wrongly accussed.

[Carafaat]

A_Khadar,indeed he was wrongfully accused. But the cruel thing is, actually they promoted him to minister due to the succes of the Sugar Project that was finished and running from 1980. And was approved by both donor countries.

To our fellow Khaatumoians, what has Cali Khalif done for the Khaatumo Community, prior to his involvement in being admitted to the G-6 and now the G-9, post-Khaatumo State establishment?

Jiirow, Ilahay ka baq when you accuse of people of things wish we know little of. Concerning the TNG period I have no facts or witnesses, maybe you have and are willing to present them. And leave the juddgement to others.

With that many believed then without asking why he is promoted to minister if stole the project already..

[A_Khadar]

I met him in Minnesota after he resigned the PM of Abdiqasim's gov and he had all the docs with him.. So Jiirow try something else mate.. Stop baacda for accusing people based on he said she said cause that will only makes you look idi*t.

[Taleexi]

When he resigned - didn't he back to Mogadishu and people there welcome with shirbis?

[Carafaat]

Somali's have sometimes a tendency to throw away the good with the bad. And later on asking themselves where the positive exceptions are?

We need to guard, defend and fight for the good, the exception and the positive. How few or little it is.

[A_Khadar]

Indeed..
