Siilaanyo is a blood thirsty criminal what do you expect. Latest news are saying the Suldaan is back in Awdal with his militia between Quljeed and Boon town.His community settles in western Awdal between Djibouti, Somaliland and Ethiopia borders. It will be difficult to catch him in such mountainous terrain.

By Ben Bryant The UK is providing training and support to a Somaliland counterterrorism unit accused of unlawful killings and political intimidation, according to members of Somaliland's parliament. The Rapid Reaction Unit (RRU), a Somaliland paramilitary counter-terror squad established in 2012, was deployed by President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud's administration on November 15 to prevent opposition members of parliament (MPs) from entering parliament in order to influence a vote, members of Somaliland's parliament told VICE News. A report by Somaliland's Human Rights Center, published Tuesday, also blamed the RRU for the deaths of at least two demonstrators after soldiers allegedly fired at a group of them indiscriminately. MPs confirmed that the RRU had been accused of killing protestors at demonstrations. Citing "security reasons," the UK Foreign Office will not confirm or deny to VICE News whether it provides assistance to the RRU. However, the British government has previously released details of support, including security equipment, vehicles, a UK-built headquarters, and a pretrial detention facility — all "gifted" as part of its counter-terrorism program. Abdirahman Mohamed Jama, a Waddani party MP, accused the president of using the paramilitary unit as a personal task force, and said that British forces are regularly witnessed training the RRU at a camp in Hargeisa. "I have seen with my own eyes that they were training them how to shoot," he said. "I saw them learning how to shoot bullets a month ago at a camp in Hargeisa. "It's not a secret," he added. "Everybody in Somaliland knows that the British are funding the RRU." An annual report by the Somaliland Human Rights Center released on Tuesday said that the number of soldiers in the RRU has doubled from 50 to 100 in the last two years. The RRU uses "unnecessary force" against civilians and "sometimes beat suspects," the report claims. On December 28, 2013, police and RRU forces opened fire on civilians protesting water shortages in Hargeisa, resulting in the deaths of two demonstrators, the report said. Underground chemists in the UK are trying to bring Quaaludes back. Read more here. On November 15, Jama says that he and 28 opposition MPs were denied entry to parliament in an apparent attempt to influence a vote on a new speaker of the house. RRU and other state security forces numbering around 400 had occupied the building. Jama described the November 15 incident as "the final demolition of the Somaliland democracy process." Warning shots were fired, five members of parliament were arrested, and two were "badly beaten" by police, Jama says. All were released without charge several hours later. "They were trying to prevent people from voting," he said. The pre-arranged vote did not go ahead after MPs inside the House left in protest, and a quorum was not present. The speaker of the House of Representatives told VICE News that the security forces attempted to disarm his bodyguards and refuse him entry as he approached parliament. "Maybe a kilometer away from the House there was a checkpoint with a large number of security forces including the RRU," Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi said. "In order to avoid a clash I decided to continue to my house. They are powerful now. Everybody is afraid." "We were very lucky we weren't hurt," Jama told VICE News. "The ruling party was very angry of the support we had in parts of Somalia." Protests followed the military occupation of parliament, which, according to Jama, led to the deaths of at least three people. "Whenever there is a protest in Somaliland, they don't use water cannons, they don't use rubber bullets. They use live bullets to disperse a crowd. Bullets kill people," Jama said. "They fired indiscriminately into the crowds." Jama, who is also a British citizen and former teacher at a number of schools in the London borough of Harrow, said he was "ashamed" of the use of taxpayer money to fund the "oppressive" force. "I urge the UK government to review its funding and support to the RRU," he said. https://news.vice.com/article/uk-accused-of-training-and-supporting-deadly-somaliland-counter-terrorism-unit

Interesting development, Ethiopia has its own motive as usual. Breaking News: Wararka Hor Dhaca ah ee aan Ka Helayno wafti Wasiiro iyo Taliyayaal Ciidan Isuga Jira oo Siiraanyo u Diray Addis Ababa "Dawlada Itoobiya ayaa iyaduna dhinaceeda faxkii kasoo jawaab celisay oo wakiilka u sheegtay sida aanu ka helnay ilo dibloomaasiyeed oo ka ag dhaw xafiiska wakiilka itoobiya jawaabtii ay dawlada addis ababa ay soo celisay ayaa lagu sheegay inay ku nuux nuuxsatey Suldaan Wabar inuu suldaan u yahay bulsho badan oo degan degaanka ethiopia sidoo kalena uu suldaan u yahay dadka degan qarka kale." http://harowo.com/archives/31418

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Saalax, that is how paranoid dictators always act. It is how the cookie crumbles. A suldaan spoke, and suddenly you have hundreds of soldiers flooding the towns to intimidate local villagers. They will even panic more and will look like an occupying force. Who knows this could be the begging of the end of Siilaanyo and company. I agree, Siilaanyo knows his not standing on much ground hence the panic. Latest news are saying he complained to the Ethiopians to help hand over Suldaan Wabar and his militia over the border. We shall see how this turns out.

Oodweyne The only way to protect Somaliland is to put pressure on Siilaanyo. Few years back people use to be surprised when I point out the faults but now many of them saw the light and what he really is and they can't stand his adminstration (people from Somaliland of all areas). Yes the elections are crucial lets hope they go as smooth and transparent as possible.

The elders told Siilaanyo to remove his troops from Awdal or situation will get worse and Suldaan Wabar is still missing in the mountains with his militia refusing to meet the ministers. warar dheeraada oo kasoo baxaya wafti wasiiro ka kooban oo cadami hogaminayo iyo kulan la yesheen waxgaradka deegaankaasi. http://boramanews.com/index.php/somali-news/item/1370-warar-dheeraada-oo-kasoo-baxaya-wafti-wasiiro-ka-kooban-oo-cadami-hogaaminayo-iyo-kulan-la-yesheen-waxgaradka-deegaankaasi

We, the members of Awdal State in North America, Europe, Mideast and Africa hereby, express our strongest support for Sultan abibakar Elmi wabar, who declared his support for an autonomous Awdal State, free of the grip of the failed secessionist regime in Somaliland. The Sultan has made his case in lengthy press conference in which he eloquently presented the historical grievances of the people of Awdal State against successive regimes of Somaliland. The people of Awdal have invested much of their political goodwill and intellectual resources to pacify the people of Northern Somalia after the fall of the Central Government of Somalia. Today, the people of Awdal have found themselves in a very precarious position, where they have become economically and politically marginalized in their own region and cities. We commend the Young Sultan for his courage and his timely response to the plight of the people of Awdal State. We urge the other Sultans and community leaders in Awdal to follow suit of Sultan Wabar’s actions and support an Autonomous Awdal State. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed and helpless against the widespread injustices and economic deprivation existing in our homeland, but we are confident that our people’s historical leadership acumen will play a catalist for the advent of a modern, progressive and JUST future Awdal State. We urge the people of Awdal State to stay united and stay vigilant against the destructive ploys of the secessionist regime in Hargeisa. The future political emancipation of the people of Awdal requires the cooperation and collaboration among communities and individuals. An unequivocal support for our progressive Sultans is paramount for restoring our dignity and our community’s place in history. We are confident that the people of Awdal State and across the world will whole heartedly support the efforts of Sultan Wabar and others who chose to speak truth to power without fear or favoritism. This above declaration was unanimously voted on by all members of Awdal State North America, Europe, Mideast and Africa on December 5, 2014 at 8:00 PM. We will release additional statements in the coming few weeks in support of Sultan Wabars efforts and the Principles of Solidarity, unity and establishment of Awdal State as a Regional administration.

Finally we hear from a Awdalian himself, thanks for the insight Galbeedi. Che injustices do exist in other regions as well but it is not as severe as Awdal, since Siilaanyo knows other communities are not as peaceful and law abiding as Awdal people, they will easily pick up the guns and revolt, so he avoids them.

<cite> @Che -Guevara said:</cite> ^I agree with you there, business should be competitive and not be curbed by cronyism, that's just asking for trouble. Of course. One of the reasons many Somalilanders fought Siad Bare was because of some of those injustices.

Che-Guevara True but when the government is a obstacle to your development you have no choice but to defend yourself. One of the biggest issues is Lughaya belonging to the Awdal community, apparently Siilaanyo gave a monopoly of Lughaya coastal business to a businessman hailing from Gabiley by the name Ina Aw Siciid. That is one of their recent grievances. Administration Positions in the regional adminstration is one thing but giving business monopoly to a non native is a step too far.

Yes it is true. The governor of Awdal Cabdow Ayir is from East Burco(Siilaanyo's) community. The main issue is not just lack of job creation but lack of justice and revival of tribalism by Siilaanyo's administration.If the communities feel they are being discriminated against tribally under the cover of government they will start to revolt, which is what we're seeing now.

By the way the names Yusuuf and Abdille are general Muslim names. If he had a name like Keyse or Caynaanshe then you could have said it is a Somali name.
