  1. This is what Abwaan is after. 10. In May 2011, allegedly under pressure from members of President Sharif’s inner circle, including Abdulkarim Jaama, President Sharif’s Chief of Staff, the new TFG Prime Minister, Mohamed Abdillahi ‘Farmaajo’, disbanded the PFMU (Public Financial Management Unit) Fartaag claims that former PM Farmaajo tried to persuade him not to publish this report on the grounds that it could jeopardize Arab donations. http://www.hiiraan.com/PDF_Files/Monitoring_Group_2012.pdf

I also heard this pilot was actually not Somali but Japanese-Somali from the great Samurai clans of Nagasaki. I also heard Abdulahi Yusuf and his clan like to claim everybody and everything. Hear-say It is indeed very funny. Stop getting your panties in a bunch just because it says Somaliland, there were many Somaliland, you picked a colonial name, live with it. We don't know who he was, we know he's Somali and that's that.
  3. You are getting a kick out of this aren't you, especially since a certain elder went to Mogadishu in a surprise move.

On another note back home we did know of a couple of families that actually traced back there ancestry to Basra Iraq, could be a coincidence this man decided to relocate their too or not. There were many Somalilands.
  5. Darwiish and Xuubsireed didn't steal. Even read the report, Darwiish is preventing Sharif Hassan from ruining the e-Passport contract which he finally got to ruin after Abdullahi Yusuf resigned and he became finance minister in '09. In mid-2008, General Darawiish travelled to Dubai to inspect JSL’s facilities. During his visit, Ambassador Sheikhey asked General Darawiish if he would agree to be introduced to Sharif Ahmed, and offered to organize a meeting in Sharjah’s MillenniumHotel where Darawiish was staying. During that first encounter, Sharif Ahmed informed the General that he and his partners wanted to replace JSL and that they were in a position to convince President Yusuf; however, in their view, the General was the only obstacle.30 General Darawiish terminated the meeting by informing the Ambassador and Sharif Ahmed that the TFG had to respect its commitments to JSL and that the latter had not committed any major breach of any of the provisions of the project agreement.31 15. A few weeks later, General Darawiish received a call from Ahmed Yusuf Ahmed (the son of President Yusuf) asking him to come urgently to Nairobi. He informed him that Syed Ali (his brother in law) accompanied by Ambassador Ahmed Mohamed Egal (former TFG Ambassador to the UAE) and General Gaafow were going to meet with the President to ask for his support in changing the ePassport contractor.32 Ambassador Ahmed Egal denied attending such meeting.33 At that time, Mariam Yusuf Ahmed (the daughter of the president) and her husband Syed Ali were resident in Sharjah. They were aware of the passport project as they had previously met with Sanjivan Mukherjee in Sharjah and offered him to assist with the project.34 Upon his return to Nairobi, General Darawiish was able to convince President Yusuf not to terminate the contract with JSL You can't defend it. You are the perfect example of people who use religion for their personal interest.
  6. This name was nothing before me and is nothing after me, I am the core of this name. If I take it off your kind will represent it. Your uncle Indhacade is a thief, if we are being truthful we can admit that your whole branch has produced nothing but thieves and hypocrites, the fact that Geedi turned out a thief after he was appointed to PM is not the fault of Yusuf.
  7. It's against Puntland philosophy to steal, look at our track record in the Transitional Federal Government. Abdullahi Yusuf AUN never stole. Omar Abdirashid set up the Anti-Corruption Committee to tackle this problem. Vs "Sheikh" Shariif (former wadaad) stole, and also ruined e-passport contracts and gave passport to pirates in Galmudug Former PM Geedi, stole a lot, no need for details but a Mujahid nontheless. Sharif Hassan - e-Passport contracts, SKA contracts, donations for military salary (Oman saga) Farmaajo - Yet to be proven by Central Bank but we know he wanted Anti-Corruption Committee not to release report. The proof is in. Please lets not tarnish the reputation of the Harvard-educated professor on baseless allegations, this is a moryaan trait
  8. Dr. Baadiyo talks funny and has put federalism into question, no support for him!
  9. The opposition to this all-inclusive initiative will be remembered later no doubt, Wagosha people should rub two brain cells together and join this wide reaching initiative to bring peace to the region instead of sitting out in the cold and regret those actions later.

  12. These are fake allegations and have now been refuted. It was right to defend him, who says we defend EVERYONE from Puntland, keep it walking . -->
  13. Muqdisho waa magaalo beeleed oona aheen mid qaran. Markii Reer Muqdisho meel ku sheegaan guryihii iyo hantidii ii daceen, then we can talk about capital or not, but in la aqoonsado meel oo aheen a federal capital will be a mistake.
  14. Nigga comes with his own theories now, so sad. He didn't issue anything, and the report never implicated him. Accusing Abdiweli of theft is just plain wrong, a technocrat, a Harvard graduate goes home to help his country and steals by giving tax exemptions to companies that operate in Mogadishu, such a believable story. It's as believable as Somaliland.. - OH SNAP!
  15. Use your brain. Successive Prime Ministers He also explains it here. As a matter of fact SEMG report does not say so. It says as follows: “30. Both the Ministry of Finance and the OAG provide poor quality reporting of TFG expenses. Not all expenses are registered, and the Monitoring Group has obtained evidence demonstrating how the Office of the President and successive Prime Ministers send letters to custom authorities requesting import tax exemptions for individual or companies that have provided services or goods to the TFG. ” Prime Minister Abdiwali Gaas categorically denies ever issuing tax exemption letters on behalf of individuals or companies under false pretenses, and cannot speak for successive prime Ministers. http://www.somaliaonline.com/community/showthread.php/66335-Prime-Minister-Abdiweli-Gaas-Refutes-Monitoring-Report He can't speak for what others have done but he has not issued anything.
  16. Hiiraan Online Apologizes to Prime Minister Abdiweli Post Script: Hiiraan Online apologizes for mistakenly publishing that the “Monitoring group report provided evidence how the Prime Minister Abdiweli regularly sends letters to custom authorities requesting tax exemptions for companies or individual that he claims provide service to TFG”. In its first published report. After Hiiraan Online’s mistake was pointed out corrections were made that reflect the true analysis of the report and it should have read that “Monitoring group report provided evidence of how the president and successive Prime Ministers regularly send letters to custom authorities requesting tax exemptions for companies or individual that he claims provide service to TFG” for that Hiiraan Online takes full responsibility for its mistake. http://www.hiiraan.com/news4/2012/July/24984/leaked_monitoring_group_s_report_sheds_light_on_widespread_corruptionon_by_senior_tfg_officials.aspx
  17. Mogadishu-16th July 2012, The Office of the Prime Minister of Somalia (OPM) condemns allegations contained in news reports appearing in some of the media on a “leaked Monitoring Group’s report” linking The Office of the Prime Minister to alleged corruption and misconduct. The Office of The Prime Minister maintains that the allegations are absolutely and demonstrably false. This deliberate misinformation is intended to tarnish the good name and integrity of the Prime Minister and also constitutes defamation and libel intended to maliciously harm the hard earned reputation of the Prime Minister. The following are some egregious statements made in these media reports that may constitute defamation and libel and that if not retracted and apologized for could result in defamation and libel law suit: 1. “Monitoring group report provided evidence how the Prime Minister regularly sends letters to custom authorities requesting tax exemptions for companies or individual that he claims provide service to TFG.” As a matter of fact SEMG report does not say so. It says as follows: “30. Both the Ministry of Finance and the OAG provide poor quality reporting of TFG expenses. Not all expenses are registered, and the Monitoring Group has obtained evidence demonstrating how the Office of the President and successive Prime Ministers send letters to custom authorities requesting import tax exemptions for individual or companies that have provided services or goods to the TFG.” Prime Minister Abdiwali Gaas categorically denies ever issuing tax exemption letters on behalf of individuals or companies under false pretenses, and cannot speak for successive prime Ministers. 2. “The report further alleges that another million from the Government of South Sudan is unaccounted and the Prime Minister’s office took its cut. The report alleges that “In early 2012, South Sudan donated, through Price Waterhouse Coopers, US$1 million to support TFG reconciliation efforts in Somalia’s newly liberated areas. A senior TFG official confirmed to the Somalia-Eretria Monitoring Report (SEMG) that the TFG did indeed receive the US$1 million from South Sudan.59 According to internal TFG documents obtained by the SEMG, the PM instructed the Finance Ministry to disburse the funds directly to individual government officials, MPs and political figures, including US$121,700 to his own office.” The Prime Minister’s office clarifies that the said US$1 million donated to support TFG reconciliation efforts in Somalia’s newly liberated areas was in fact disbursed and spent on reconciliation efforts in newly recovered areas including Gedo, Bay/Bakool, Hiiraan and Central Somalia areas and evidence of such is available. Additional moneys were spent on political outreach to the regions as mandated under the Road Map protocols. The very fact that the SEMG acknowledges that this particular fund was channeled through Price Waterhouse Coopers demonstrates that the Prime Minister conducts government transactions in a transparent manner. The Prime Ministers’ distinguished and outstanding contribution to Anti-corruption efforts on the national, regional and international levels is well recognized by Somalis and the following lend credit to those efforts. 1. The Prime Minister has spearheaded various reports in uncovering graft including co-operating with The Monitoring Group in the compilation of its report. 2. The Prime Minister instituted an Anti-Corruption Task Force that is currently operational. 3. The SEMG reports variously refer the Joint Management Finance Board. It is worth noting that the JMFB is the brain child of the Prime Minister. He championed it during the period he was a Cabinet Minister and helped turn it into a reality during his tenure as Prime Minster. 4. The Prime Minister has opposed the release of printed moneys in Sudan pending the institution of proper sound monetary policy, a fact corroborated in the SEMG report. The PMO takes great exception to the careless and irresponsible publication of false reports that can create wrong impressions and perceptions thereby misleading the Somali people. The PMO further notes that the media bear responsibilities of ethical journalism and as such must refrain from acts of defamation and libel that can cause harm to people’s reputation. We urge media houses to liaise with the Office of the Prime Minister and authenticate stories relating to His office before going to print. We question the motive behind the publication of this “leaked” report before awaiting the conclusion and distribution of the final report and we call for the upholding of professionalism and objectivity in journalism. H.E Abdiweli Ali Gaas reassures the Somali People and development partners of his personal commitment in ensuring transparent and accountable utilization of donor funds especially at this critical time in the history of Somalia.

  19. They see the Khaatumo project for what it is, a loser's circle. Just look at the affiliates, Galayr (thrown out by Cabdiqashin), Xaglatoosiye (now gone too apparently, lost in Puntland), too much sii socod soo socod, constant infighting, no common strategy between Buhoodle and Taleex, to keep it short, it's pathetic. Xudun has apparently completely abandoned it. You see one of the three presidents visiting "duleedka Laascaanood", as if that's something to be proud off, I mean seriously wax lagu faana miyaa that I got near my occupied state capital? Then there's attacks on civilians from Khaatumo movement's forces whether it be in the Hawd or in Sool itself, even people from within SSC are attacked. As for Laascaanood, it's not occupied by Somaliland forces, but pro-Somaliland people, the people of Laascaanood wanted peace and development, Puntland failed on the latter and Somaliland is trying to make up for it. Khaatumo movement has shown no initiative on outdoing Somaliland, it can't even work among itself. The people see this and they've chosen for the right reasons not to join it.
