BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13625609 Burundian peacekeepers deployed to Mogadishu in 2007 Continue reading the main story Burundian soldiers serving with the African Union peace force in Somalia have told the BBC they have not been paid since January.The five months of arrears total an estimated $20m (£12m) for the nearly 4,000 Burundian peacekeepers. Burundi's army spokesman Col Gaspard Baratuza said the African Union had paid the money into the Bank of the Republic of Burundi.But he said the central bank had not disbursed the salaries to the soldiers. 'Serving our nation' The African Union pays the Burundian soldiers, who make up the 9,000-strong Amisom peace force battling Islamist militants in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, slightly more than $1,000 each every month. The BBC's Prime Ndikumagenge in the Burundian capital Bujumbura says the salaries are not paid in Somalia, but directly into their accounts through Burundi's central bank so the soldiers' families can access the money more easily. "Now our families think we get the money and hide it from them” Two soldiers, requesting anonymity as they are not allowed to discuss army issues publicly, told the BBC the situation was not sustainable."The Amisom force commander from Uganda has told us that the money is being paid on a monthly basis. But in Burundi we do not know where the money is going," one of them told the BBC's Network Africa programme. They said some soldiers believe the money has been diverted by the government to serve other purposes before being paid to them. "In short we do not want to be used as commercial objects. We are serving the name of our nation; let it serve ours by paying us on a monthly basis as this has to be," he said. Col Baratuza, who in an interview with the BBC's Great Lakes Service in April had promised the arrears would be paid that month, said on Wednesday evening the problem would be sorted out soon. The AU force in Somalia deployed to Mogadishu in 2007 to back the weak interim government. Somalia has been racked by constant war for more than 20 years - its last functioning national government was toppled in 1991.

I think paying taxes is fine but more than that politics and business should not be mixed and we have done well to keep keep our private sector just that. There is a danger that we will see the politicisation of business which will be of no benefit.

I suppose so sxb but I don't think the Pland initiative is exclusively concerned with SSC. From what I understood the Pland gov. is saying the the bus. comm. need to pay their taxes + more if possible to support the government in the many security operations. ”Ganacsatada waxaa jira howlo,halkaan buurihi waa la degay,Sool waad aragteen,Mudug waxbaa ka jira, kuwa kalena halkan wax bay ka baaqeen.Ganacsatadu waa laf dhabarka dalka oo maalin weliba dalka ayaa loo dhinta,idinka shaqeysanaayo oo ku jira guryaha waad cabataan.marka waxaan idin soo jeedinaaya Ganacsatooy dalka xaaladiisa ka war haya”,

So is AllSSC interpretation the correct interpretation of the events?

Here is Allssc's take on it: Budhcadii Faroole Oo Dagaalkii Mujaahidiinta SSC SNM-ta kula Galeen Aaga Gambadhe ku Lacag Uruursanaya. Wararka naga soo gaadhayaa magaalada boosaaso ayaa sheegeya in budhacada ku hadhey maamulkii la odhanjirey Puntland ay maanta ku dhawaaqeen iney sameynayaa gudi ganacsatada boosaaso lacag lagu sheegey in Puntland ay i ku difaaceyso gobalka sool. Arintaa oo dadkii maqley aad ula yaabeen, sababtoo ah iyadoo la wadaa ogaa in isla maamulkaa ”Puntland” uu u hibeeyey gobalka sool cid kasta oo damacda iney xoreysana lugaha u qabanay iyaga iyo kuwo dh******te sheegta oon marnaba ogaleyn in dh*******te taladiisa gacantiisa kula soo noqdo iyagoo u arka ineysan noolaankarin hadii aan qabiil kale u talin. Gudiga uu magaacabey maamulka budhcad badeeda ee puntland ayaa la sheegey iney ka shaqaynayaan sidii ganacsato aan waxba ogeyn shilimaadka uga furan lahaayeen dabadeed ugu qayili lahaayeey ayaa kala ah.

Nimankan ayaa sheegay in dowladda ay maalinta bari ay isugu yeeri doonto 34-xubnood oo katirsan ganacsatada Puntland kuwaasi oo uu sheegay inay la kulmi doonaan wasiirka dekedaha iyo gaadiidka badda ee Puntland inkastoo uusan si rasmi ah u sheegin waxa kulankaasi ay la qaadanayaan ganacsatada looga hadli doono. Waxaa uu ugu dambeyntii sheegay wasiirka ganacsiga iyo warshadaha Puntland in dowladda ay u baahantahay taagerada ganacsatada ee difaaca Puntland, isagoona sheegay inay jiraan canshuur ay bixiyaan ganacsatada taasi oo uu sheegay inay dowladda ay ku bixiso mushaarka ciidamada oo uu sheegay inay u joogaan jiidaha gobolka Sool sidii ay u difaaci lahaayeen shacabka iyo dadwaynaha Puntland.

That was certainly an interesting read and much went on in that article. Lots of emotive language. Lots of vilifying. Lots of hyperbole. Lots of artificial facts and few convincing points. In terms of achieving what I presume were his aims, the author, typically, assumed completely the wrong strategy. It'll be applauded by the opposition, apposed by the proposition and the status quo shall continue.

TBH, for you to fully understand the sentence you have quoted, you need to read my earlier posts, particularly the one's in which I explained my viewpoint and I reffered to my previous views before I 'refined' those views. Make of it what you will.

They are still going to Yemen despite all that is going on there.

GENEVA (BNO NEWS) -- At least 14 people have been killed while a smuggler's boat carrying more than 100 people tried to travel the Gulf of Aden for a two-day journey from Somalia to Yemen, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) said on Tuesday. The agency said a smuggler's boat carrying approximately 115 passengers set sail from Bosasso, Puntland in northern Somalia on early Sunday morning. They were attempting to illegally reach Yemen. According to the survivors, ten Ethiopians suffocated en-route to Yemen when the smugglers crammed and confined 25 people to the engine room which had no ventilation. It happened about seven hours after the boat's departure, and the victims were later thrown into the sea. Four more people died in the sea when the smugglers, fearing detection by the Yemeni Navy, forced all the remaining passengers to disembark from the boat. It happened too far from the coast, causing some of the exhausted passengers to drown in the rough sea. "We condemn the unscrupulous and inhumane treatment of refugees and others who are desperately seeking to flee the violence, human rights abuses and seriously debilitating life options in the Horn of Africa," said Erika Feller, the UNHCR Assistant High Commissioner for Protection. "We have witnessed similar, isolated, individual incidents before – but never on such scale. This speaks volumes about the smugglers' utter disregard for human life." As of Tuesday morning, the Yemeni Society for Humanitarian Solidarity had recovered one male and one female body. They were buried hours later at the local cemetery near Al Hamra. The 101 survivors, mostly Ethiopians, were transferred to Ahwar Reception Centre for care and recovery. According to UNHCR, at least 108 people are known to have drowned or fallen victim to risky crossings on the Gulf of Aden since the beginning of the year. In 2010 this number was only 15. More than 9,000 Somalis and 27,000 Ethiopians have arrived in Yemen by boat so far this year.

Wouldn't it be great if they could talk without the bloody amxaar and resolve their conflict.
