Certain people are being targeted and assassinated and you try to cover this up, because a shop has been opened up.

Garaad said nothing about AL Shabaab. So no argument to fight a village. you guys are getting really desperate by seing this as proof.
Only thing the Graad said there is no genocide against the clan.
But he hasnt denied that people were being targetted killed, he hasnt denied that people fled, he hasnt denied that people were fought for their natural resources, he even said he mediated.
No proof for Al Shabaab, nor Al Qaida.
Sheeko kale keen.

I think the Maakhiri's made a fool of Faroole.
How long can a battle for a village against a State continue? it has been going on now for months.
Faroole is the looser. Everyone can see how week his tribal entity is.
How long will you fight against the next village? how many thousands of soldiers will you send?

The Galgala conflict and its misleading association with Islamic Extremism By Ali H. Abdulla
August 12, 2010
I visited Galgala in 2005 while doing some volunteer work at the University of East Africa in Bosasso. It is a small village that is off the beaten track with no roads, hospitals or proper schools.
The people of Galgla are very industrious and are mainly farmers who use irrigation canals to cultivate all kinds of fruit and vegetable. The area is very fertile and is endowed with water resources in the form of springs that flow all the year round.
it took us around 5 hours to reach Galgala although it is around 60km from Bosasso, the commercial capital of Puntland. We traveled by a 4x4 vehicle that it inched its way slowly among huge boulders. There are no paved roads to Galgala which is nestled in a mountainous and rugged area. We had to abandon the vehicle and walk the last mile because of the steep incline that the driver had to perilously negotiate alone.
When we reached Galgala, we were surprised to find an oasis in the middle of the desert. Water gushes from a rock formation in the area and the people of Galgala built a small structure to protect the source from contamination and interference. They built irrigation canals from the source to small reservoirs attached to each farm in the area. The water is shared and each reservoir gets filled on a different day of the week.
The weather in Galgala is very cool and dry in sharp contrast to the hot and steamy weather of Bosasso. The change in weather is noticeable once one reaches a certain altitude in the steep climb to the village.
The people of Galgala are very generous and offered us plenty of food that tasted a lot better than the food we got used to in the polluted city of Bosasso which teemed with flies, mosquitoes and garbage.
We were given a quick tour of the area which is a gateway to the Golis range that stretches from Galgala in the east all the way to Borama in the west. Our guide introduced us to a lot of medicinal plants including ginseng. They told us of German doctors who visited the area regularly in search of certain medicinal herbs. Such visits alone disprove the claim of the Puntland administration of the presence of extremists in Galgala.
Given its pleasant weather, water resources and scenic mountains, the area can become a retreat that can attract tourists and adventurers in the future if the Somali state gets resurrected again under a democratic Federal System that encourages entrepreneurship.
Today, Gaglala is in the news, not because of its beauty and pristine mountains, but because of an ugly war that can displace hundreds of innocent families in the area. It angers me a lot to witness the unwarranted aggression that the Farole and his war cabinet have launched against the peaceful village of Galgala on the pretext of fighting against Islamic extremists. Conversely, it is a great relief for us all that the defenders of Galgala have made the wise decision of vacating the village in order to spare the women and children the horrors of war. Extremists would have put up a stiff fight in the middle of the innocent civilians just as they are doing in Mogadishu where hundreds of women and children get slaughtered when AMISOM forces respond with heavy artillery when attacked from residential areas in Mogadishu, the dying capital of the Somali Republic.
The world should not be fooled by Farole and his notorious Puntland Intelligence Service that is on the payroll of foreign spy agencies. Somalis in Bosasso have coined a new name for the PIS: “Ashahaada la dirir”, those who fight against the concept of the oneness of God. They routinely arrest, interrogate, torture and at times rendition innocent religious scholars without any credible proof of wrongdoing.
The conflict in Galgala has nothing to do with Islamic Extremism. It is about a local population that is trying to defend its resources against exploitation by greedy individuals and foreign companies. It is about mineral resources that can be compared to the blood-diamonds that Charles Taylor is being tried for in The Hague.
Farole and his newly formed war cabinet deserve to be put on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity. The Galgala war is a continuation of the war started by Farole’s predecessor who tried to use foreign companies to prospect for minerals in Majayahan without the consent and knowledge of the local population. Many people lost their lives in that conflict.
In the absence of a new Federal Constitution that regulates the exploitation of natural resources in Somalia by the regional administrations, these administrations have no right to prospect for oil or minerals without the knowledge and consent of the weak Federal Government that is being undermined by extremists and the regional administrations as well.
The International community should realize that the ugly scenes of blood-diamond will be replayed in Somalia unless they help the Somali people extricate themselves from the current state of war, divisions, bloodshed and piracy. Greedy, strong-men controlling vast areas known as the “lands” will only exacerbate the current situation. The current strategy of encouraging the “lands” will weaken the Somali State further and create a multitude of Charles Taylor‘s Liberia in which strong clans can prey on weaker clans in the struggle for potential mineral resources.

Nothing new here.
The Garaad said nothing about Al Shabaab having a camp in Galgala and Atam being al Shabaab. And that was the whole reason why SSDF started invading galgala.
But he did talk about the conflict on resources and how he mediadated.
So this proofs only that there is a conflict not with Al Shabaab, but similar to the earlier conflict on locals against SSDF for natural resources.

Kulmiye will be divided and burn by this move.
Burn baby burn,
-
I told you guys. he is a nutcase.
Kulmiye has already a runner up for Riyaale, he is called Muuse Biixi, ex warlord, ex tribal leader, ex pilot, ex UDUB. Now you have Gaboose. I dont think Kulmiye needs any opposition coming years.
UDUB ha iska nasato.

UDUB, my first Love.
I met her in Borama in 1993, it was love at first sight and for 17 years we have been lovers. We travelled all around. been to places, met people, organised parties. We had our ups and downs. But it was real love.
But in 2010 we separated.
We will come back together, inshallah.
UDUB in Borama
UDUB in Hargeysa
UDUB in Las Anod
UDUB in Burco
UDUB In Berbera
UDUB in Erigavo -
This is becoming a Waterloo.
I serieusly thaught this issue would be solved in a day. But it has turned to a real long during clan conflict.
Inshallah, it will be peacefully resolved if some grown men stop lying and start talking with their brothers.
-
Back to the topic indeed. wonder what our SSDF friends have to say. they are quit silent on the real issue of the thread.
-

-

Thankful you choose sides for tribal reasons in the galgala conflict before you even had any proof or info.
-
Thankful, do you still belief that AL Shabaab is in Galgala?
And when will we see them finally? like we see them in Moqadishu(picture below). When will you show us proof for your little ferry propaganda ferry tale.
Al SHabaab in Moqadishu.

the SSC withdrew within the first week of the battle for the Galgala resources.
They imedialty saw it was a clan battle for resources and they have no business getting involved.
Belief me, SSC doesnt withdraw from battle's. Unless its to the right balltle and this isnt a fight against terrorist.
-
Thankful, adiga qofna kuma rumeesaniyo.
after all those lies and propaganda about terrorist and al shabaab being in Galgal. Some people even for a second thaught you were serieuz and telling the truth.
But now we know you are in the business of selling lies, as your other big friend here in SOL.
-
If he could save the Somali nation and millions of people suffering? yes, I think it would be justified.
Dont start lecturing me on the bullshit oath of hippocrates. because that oath is heresy and againt our faith.
-
Thankful, you a really making yourself ridicilous.
You lost an argument.
And then you try yo hijack this topic by calling me Cowke. First of all I dont care if you think I am Cowke or not. Second, calling me Cowke is nothing now. Hundreds have been doing that before you.
So dont make yourself ridicolous. And tell us why you want us to ignore the whole Galgala debacle.
-
So, all the SSDF guys here on SOL agree with eachother.
What a suprise to us all.
Maybe its because the speach was written by one of you. I guess it was written by Duke himself. He is the most skilled in pr and propaganda.

This guy pretends to be SNM. And now a Somalilander.
But when Barre was killing all those innocent. He was the personal pysician of Siad Barre. He had the chance to kill Barre, remove the problem the Somali's faced and save all those hundred of thousands that have died since.
Tell me how can you save Barre's live, keep him healthy for decades. And then at the last moment leave the regime and say that you are against the same men that you have giving vitamines, so he was fit enaugh to murder all those people.

Nonsense, how many times have we seen Isim's being pressured to sign or say something by Puntland.
And as soon as day leave Bosasso or Garowe they can say what they really think.
This audio has no value, it only shows that Puntland can pressure Isims to say excatly what they want to hear.
Remember the Isims in Buurowadal, then going to Garoowe.

Many people got killed, even Puntland soldiers and officers, nor have you proved there was AL Shabaab.The killing havent stopped in Bosasso, many have fled their homes, many people among them some SOL members and diaspora have lost their faith in Puntland, clans distrust have surfaced.
I wouldnt call this winning. Its sad, really sad.
I wouldnt wish this "winning" on anyone.
The worst of all, you dont seem to understand this. And other agree with you or choose to silence.
