"The lies of Bugland finally revealed" By Jacaylbaro Jamac It has recently come to our attention that certain PL officials have been involved in an ugly act of defamation at the proud and sovereign nation of Somaliland. Most avid followers of SL news will no doubt have read and heard about the contemptible tittle-tattle regarding Israeli recognition of SL. Most must have dismissed it as idle chatter and nonsense. However, this online portal has finally came into possession of information that proves beyond doubt that this story was nothing but the mischievous prank of certain PL officials. Attached is a first draft of the doctored letter claiming to be from the Israeli foreign office. We are also investigating two more falsehoods circulated by these corrupt PL officials, regarding the Somaliland Red Crescent and a story about an elderly Somali lady alleged to have been handed over to the Ethiopian authorities. On the first case, the investigation is still ongoing and we shall update our readers as and when we receive any more information. We had a real breakthrough on the second case however, and have discovered that the alleged lady had actually lived in the PL capital for two months before being deported to Hargeisa and welcomed with open arms by the generous SL people. She spent two happy years in SL and never faced any problems or hardships during her stay. However, on the 14th of February 2010, at approximately eleven o’clock at night, she heard a knock at her front door. Subsequently, an eyewitness that refused to disclose his name told us that they saw the said lady leaving the house with a young Somali man who had a very distinct Garowe accent. This reporter does not know how the young man convinced the lady to leave her house and in what direction he led her. When we contacted the Ethiopian embassy in SL to inquire about the welfare of the lady and the reasons for her arrest, we were told that no such person has been arrested and that no Ethiopian officials in SL and Ethiopia head heard of her story. Our source in the Ethiopian intelligence service has also told us that the lady may be incarcerated in PL prisons and that her name does not appear in any Ethiopian official wanted lists. Our investigations will continue until we uncover these cowardly PL officials and their dangerous smear campaigns. JJ Hargeisa Somaliland.

^^ Do you know how many Somalis lost their jobs because of this 'Emiratisation' thing at the bloodiest point of the Somali civil war? Do you know where most of them ended up? Anigu wan ku daayay on this thread, Ibti. But on your last post I could not help chuckling at how much digging you put yourself through. I shall leave it to Blessed to lecture us all.

^^ Keep on digging. I sense a Blessed lecture on the way.

^^ I just believe that the fools who started this whole nonsense should be hit back with a dose of their own medicine. Imagine their shock when they see what looks like an official Israeli letter floating around the same websites that posted their own nonsense in the first place. Imagine how happy the halfwits that believed this stuff would be! P.S. Don't listen to Cawaale (he's a bigger Arab than me. I'm only a former Arab). And, anyway, if you don't do it, how can you be sure that Jb will not? War beat him to it ban ku idhi.

^^ If they were caught red handed it would be a different story altogether. I just worry that arbitrary sentences of fifteen years set a very dangerous precedent for future cases (piracy or otherwise).

Good idea, badly executed. Now if you take Jb's name out and make the language seem a bit more serious, you will have this letter circulating all over SL websites in no time, badow yaho (I think you can still do it).

I do love Somalis. Went out five minutes ago to get me some biscuits from the local shop. As I was walking back to the office I heard a shout.. Somali odey: Oi! Ma Somali bad tahay? Me: Haa. Odey: Ma meelahan bad ka shaqiisa? Me: Haa. Odey: Me too. Me: Good. Odey: I worked in that hotel for seven years. I was employee of the year once and got a bonus big enough to take me and my wife to haj. Me: Mashallah. Odey: I'm a porter, but today I was working in the cloak room taking the coats of the crazy Arabs who come here to waste their money and time. Me: Haa. Carabtu way waalanyeen. Odey: Ma ila argtay? Waa khasaaro socota. Me: Haahay. Odey: Lakin anigu Scania ayaan iibsaday. Me: Scania maxay tahay? Odey: Zaire iyo African oo guuraya Me: You will take the Scania there too? Odey: It's there already. Me: Is it? Odey: Don't you know what a Scania is? Me: Maya adeer. Odey: Truck. BIG TRUCK. Me: Haaaaa, Scania! So are you going to drive it? Odey: Maya. I already have a driver for that one. I'm planning to buy a second one and then I'm going to move. Me: To Africa? Odey: Haa. Kampala, Kinshasa, inta ba wan wada marya. Me: Good for you. Odey: Ok. Anigu wan soco-ha-naya. I'll find out about you next time. I already know you are reer woqooye. And, just like that, he walked off into the horizon....

No Duke but I would have expected something like the recent Aleksander Litvinenko case, badow yaho.

^^ What do you mean it's not easy? From the way the man was moving around, you, I or anyone else could have killed him (if we wanted to). There does not seem to have been a great plan there. All the planning took part before hand (outside Dubai). The part that took place in Dubai is an actual kids play (in criminal standards).

Bisharo is not an O-gaden. She is a somali woman one and reducing her to a tribal affiliate or for a tribal cause rather than a somali(a people's) shows that the enemy has succeeded! Clan is everything, saaxib. Away with you and your sweet talk. Or as A&T would say..AGAH.

^^ Local support for what exactly? To provide them with the 'illegal' pillow that they used to suffocate the victim with? Originally posted by Archdemos: Although completely ruthless in its execution, you can't help but admire the sheer cunning and audacity of this operation. it reads like something straight out of a le Carré book. What eleven people sent to kill one person, in his hotel room and unarmed? Yes, I see the sheer cunning and audacity. Allahu el mustcaaan.

^^ I saw this one in Hargeisa. It's not as small as the picture makes it look (honest).

^^ The Mamba is not absent in Somalia, saaxib. I wish it was though. There was no glossary.

^^ Website bay ku qoran tahay miya? As the kids would say in such a situation, RIYAALE HAS CROSSED THE LINE. Allah ha o sahlo islaanta. It's a real shame.

^^ Paragon wrote in English but if you really paid attention to what he wrote you would have noticed the stench of 'waxa la yedhi' all over it.

^^ Why quote Juxa's reply to me warya? Now you paranoid people are making ME paranoid. Ibti, It's a shame that after all your hardwork and endless argument, you didn't see the need to prove us wrong by informing us about these projects that you claim have borne some results.

^^ You fell for LG's little nonsense? Shame on you. You already know I never involve myself in any of these things but that does not stop me from sharing my opinion (just like you). In this case, you are allowing your prejudices to cloud your judgment (with all the assumptions about the whiteness of the couple and the like). I usually see Somalis getting worked up over nonsense and despair at the waste of their time and energy. But, here, I see an end goal. You say they took responsibility and what not! What difference is that going to make exactly? Like you already said in previous posts, Somalis will get the blame regardless.

^^ I already told you what it means (in the way it was explained to me years ago). I don't need to think about it. You guys are trying to pull my leg here and I'm not having it.

Originally posted by ThankfulSP: Come on Oodweyne, lets be honest here. The reason why this article was written in English and sent to different media outlets around the world was to send a message to those outside of Somalia, it was not (as you want us to believe) ment for the pirates! Security officer Jamal Abdikarin was speaking to the AFP because he wanted to send a message to the world. I am saying that this message will backfire and make NW Somalia look like it has a poorly run justice system, that can finish trials in a week! If you read the article, it does mention that NATO has supplied SL with photos. This trial seems to have been conducted with the full approval of NATO, saaxib. The PR element is obviously there but the shock you assume the world will get from it (or at least the powers that be) is misplaced. Jb, Yes I expect them (and want them) to be released. Waxba ha qoslin, tomorrow it will be you being sentenced to fifteen years for some nonsensical crime. Guru, Adeer, wrong is wrong regardless of the country or my feelings for it. Yes, SL is not as advanced as the TV shows you mention (which I don't actually watch, I hate crime stories), however, it will never improve if you and I try to brush everything under the carpet and use excuses about sending a message or that the system is a work in progress, etc.

^^ Was that your big smoking gun then? And there I was expecting you to hit me with a proper argument. Bullying my dear LaZie is what takes place in school playgrounds. What goes between me and Ibti is a difference of opinion (I'm right and she's wrong). The rest of what you wrote is stuff and nonsense. p.s. Ayoub Wan diiday. Adiga, Juxa iyo ducaysany gidaarka idiin dhaw madaxa la dhaca. Wax apology la yidhaahdo anigu ma bixinayo ila aad ii sheegtan khaldkaad igu tuhmaysan woxo yahay. Meesha ma maxkamadaha Somaliland bad moodeen?

^^ Hey, hey, hey..aniga wado ha iga dhigin. Orod meelha kale Ibti ku sasabo. Pick your battles is what I always advise and will continue to. Anyway, right now, the battle that I'm picking is all to do with chicken and baco.

^^ I understand all of that but I still feel it was not much of a fair trial.

Jeeves doesn't speak Somali, Juxa.
