  1. Xaqiiqada dhabta ah ee Safarkii Madaxweynaha Somaliland Written by Abdi M.Saleiman May 03, 2011 at 06:53 PM (Madaxweynaha oo markii uu degay Calanka Somaliland ku dul istaagay,iydoo la wada ogyahay in KELMADA TOWXIIDKU ku qaran yahay,ma aqoon daraa mise waa isbedekii Kulmiye dadka iyo dalka u balan qaaday). Runtii waxaa jira warar aad iyo aad isu khilaafsan oo ka soo baxaya safarkii Madaxweynuhu uu ku tegay wadamada U.A.E iyo Kuwait,waxaa jiro Sawir aad la yaab u leh ,macnayaal aad u kala fogna bixinaya.Waxaa aad u adkaatay xataa in aad rumaysato Sawirada la soo geliyey Webside,sababtoo ah ma garan kartid run iyo been ka ay yihiin,waxaa shaki weynu ku jiraa dhamaan Sawiradii aynu aragnay ee ka hadlayey cida uu la kulmay Madaxweynuhu. Dhinaca kale waxaa Madaxweynah iyo Waftigiisa ku baxday lacag aad iyo aad u badan ,sida lagu qiyaasayna Million dollar ku dhow,xilli runtii dalka ay Abaar iyo Macaluul aad u xoogani ka jiraan. Haddii aan aan u soo noqdo safarkii Madaxweynaha,waxyaabihii ugu muhiimsanaa waxaa ka mid ah arimahan:- 1. Marka hore waxaa fiican in la fahmo,Madaxweynuhu wuxuu booqday wadamadii uu booqan jiray,xidhiidh koodana uu dhisay Madaxweynihii ka horeeyey,ma aha wada xidhiidh cusub ay la samaysay Xukuumada hadda jirtaa. 2. Ma jiraan haba yaraatee Wakiilo Somaliland u jooga wadamadaas uu Madaxweynuhu booqday,mana jiraan wax xidhiidh Siyaasadeed ah oo inaga dhexeeyaa,lagama yaabo in uu ina dhexmaro x idhiidh Siyaasadeed xataa mustaqbalka dhow,sababtoo ah waxay aaminsan yihiin Somaliweyn. 3. Madaxweynuhu kuma tegin casuumad ay wadamadaasi u fidiyeen Xukuumada Somaliland,balse wuxuu ku tegay casuumad ay fidiyeen laba nin mid U.A.E iyo mid reer Kuwait ah ,oo labaduba ka tirsan yihiin qoysaska reer Boqor, haddii aan si kale kuu fahan siiyana ninka reer U.A.E waa ninkii hore inoogu keenay Riig hore ceelal loo qoday , kan reer Kuwait-na waa ninka iska leh guriga weyn ee ka dhisan Degmada Sheekh,waa ninka dayac tiray dhakhtarka Degmada Sheekh. 4. Waxaa iyana ka qayb qaatay casuumada Madaxweynaha,kooxo ganacsato reer Somaliland iyo reer Jabuuti ah ah,kuwaas oo dadaal weyn ugu jira sidii Kooto ay ugu qabsan lahaayeen guud ahaanba Ganacsiga Somaliland. 5. Madaxweynaha ma sii raacin,muu sii kaxaysan Khubaro,aqoon yahano,si fiican u yaqaan dhaqanka , luqada iyo taariikhda wadamada Madaxweynu booqday,balse ragga sii raacay waxay ahayeen koox aan aan haba yaraatee wax aqoon ah u lahayn wadamadaas,waxaan ku tilmaami karaa “Iska daba ordayaal” amase shaqsiyaad ujeedadooda ugu waynu ay ahayd in ay soo arkaan wadamadaas,khaladaadkii meesha ka dhacayna Saxaafada ayaa wax badan ka qortay. 6. Waxaa jira kooxo ku sugan Somaliland iyo wadamada dibadaba oo doonaya in ay buunbuuniyaan booqashada Madaxweynuhu uu ku tegay dalalka U.A.E iyo Kuwait,balse buubuunintii iyo been abuurkii ay wadeen uu la gaadhay moolo fog fog oo xataa Somaliland wax u dhimaysa. 7. Madaxweynuhu wadamadii uu booqday waxaa ugu badnaa oo laga wada hadlay waxay ahaayeen GANACSI,sheekadana waxaa mar kasta hogaaminayey kooxo ganacsato ah ,doonayana in ay ganacsiga dalka Kooto ku qabsadaan. 8. Caawimo waydiisi ,wixii laga soo helana waa xaqiiqa in ay gacanta u geli doonaan Shirkadihii awelba Casuumada soo dhameeyey oo aan filaayo in aan cidina kula tartami Karin. 9. Safarkii Madaxweynaha Somaliland wuxuu ku dhamaaday,in Madaxweynuhu dusha kaga istaago Calanka Somaliland ee aynu wada ognahay in ay KELMADA TOWCIIDKU ku qaran yahay,ma garanayo sababta kelitay,ma aqoon daraa,mise waa isbedelkii dalka iyo dadka ay u balan qaadeen Xisbiga talada haya ee Kulmiye,waxaase ila haboon si deg deg ah sharciga loo horkeeno cidii arintaas ka masuulka ahayd.

  2. But this is not simply a case of lesser evilism in a system where all the alternatives are grim – i.e., “Well, Göring is a monster but he’s probably marginally better than Hitler; let’s support a bloody coup to install him as Führer”. No; Digby and many other progressives whose writings show they are perfectly aware of the atrocities that Obama has committed and the evil policies he embraces – such as the unrestricted license to kill – still display an active affection and celebratory support for him. To them, even though he has killed these people and claimed these awful powers, he is still one cool guy. Witness their delight at Obama’s comedy routine at the Correspondent’s Dinner last week, when he poked fun at the pathetic Donald Trump, garnering big yocks from the Beltway elite – even as NATO missiles were killing three young grandchildren of Moamar Gadafy: more child sacrifices offered up on the altar of our modern Molochs. They didn't even notice. Oh, they often shake their heads sadly or waggle their fingers sternly at some action or policy of Obama’s. They often can’t understand why he does these things – cut taxes for the rich, bail out the bankers, torture Bradley Manning, form commissions to gut Social Security, escalate and prolong the Terror War, kill hundreds of people with drone missiles, etc., etc. But nothing douses their fundamental (fundamentalist?) fervor to keep him in power and to scorn those who oppose him. Nothing keeps them from seeing themselves as his true and faithful "base," still waiting for him to return to them, despite his many betrayals. (Subconscious betrayals, no doubt.) And we can expect more encomiums to the president’s eloquence and heroism from these quarters on Thursday, when, with the good taste and tact so characteristic of our bipartisan ruling class, Obama goes to the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York City to celebrate the shooting of an unarmed man in the head. Yes, the president of the United States, accompanied by various Establishment worthies and doubtless a few dignified clerics, will stand at Ground Zero to glorify a killing that his own minions tell us will change nothing whatsoever: the wars will go on, “vigilance will be redoubled” (i.e., civil liberties will continue to be eroded, black ops will continue in the 70 countries or more where America is carrying out covert operations), the Secret State will keep growing, the universal license to kill and snatch and incarcerate and torture will remain in full force. So what exactly is being celebrated? A cynic – or someone being skeptically “stupid” in the Digbyian sense – might say the occasion is more exploitation than celebration: exploiting the grief of the families of 9/11 survivors who will be trotted out to express their tearful gratitude to the president who has given them “closure” – and who will reap the poll bounce from this moment of “national unity,” just as his predecessor rode a similar exploitation of death to his own re-election. Oh, but let us not be ******. Let us acknowledge that the president kills innocent people and “asserts the right to keep prisoners in jail forever and kill American citizens” and puts out false information (subconsciously, of course! Always subconsciously!) about murky operations which we must take on faith like dutiful subjects in militarized state, not fully-fledged citizens in a republic – but let us still revel in his triumphs, delight in his eloquence, and work with all our strength to make sure he continues to invert, pervert and subvert every progressive value we hold dear. That’s not “stupid” at all, is it?
  3. Day of the Dead: The Hit Man as Hero Already the story is starting to unravel, mutate, transmogrify. Government statements that were presented as gospel truths in every media outlet in the world, and which served as the basis for ten thousand earnest, serious commentaries, turn out, one day later, to have been false. We had been told – by the president’s top “counterterrorism adviser,” John Brennan – that Osama had been “engaged in a firefight” when he was gunned down by American agents. This was not true; it turns out that he was unarmed when they shot him in the head. We were told that the base coward used his wife as a human shield while he pumped hot lead at America’s boys. This was not true. There were no human shields – although Osama’s wife was shot in the leg, while another woman, wife to a bin Laden aide, was shot and killed by the agents. Of course, even these new officially released“facts” must be taken with a grain of salt, since they spring from the same impenetrable murk of the security apparat from whence the original story of the raid emerged. Will these new details change tomorrow? (Meanwhile, actual reporters doing actual reporting independently uncovered another falsehood in the first story: the compound that was raided in Abbottabad was not a “million-dollar mansion,” but a rather ordinary house in a middle-class area, worth about $250,000.) In any case, we are told by the Fightin’ Patriotic Progressives who now stand foursquare behind the apparat that we should not trouble our little heads over these “discrepancies.” Such things are to be expected in the “fog of war.” (But didn’t the president and his national security team – including John Brennan – actually watch the raid unfold on live video feed? Didn’t Brennan see what happened with his own eyes?) Or if not fog, then the original misinformation can be put down to “subconscious” mythologizing, as Digby tells us. ("I think it was mythologizing for the sake of mythologizing, even if it was subconscious.") Our leaders wanted an old-fashioned cowboy shoot-out for the big climax of the bin Laden story, and so, somehow, the counterterrorism chief of the United States just, you know, subconsciously rearranged the facts to fit the myth. But as Digby sternly warns us: “Let's not get ******. The fact that they embellished doesn't mean it didn't happen.” That’s true; but “the fact that they embellished” does mean that we would be, well, ****** to accept anything that belches forth from the Secret State at face value. I don’t mean to pick on Digby; but the post linked above serves as an almost perfect example of the moral schizophrenia that has gripped the progressive movement since the advent of Obama. At one point, she rightly notes that no one would have been bothered if the Administration had admitted from the start that bin Laden was unarmed when they killed him. As she says, the assassination scenario was duly praised by such rock-ribbed liberal icons as Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert; and she notes, astutely, “I don't think there's any political downside, and in fact it probably makes them look more macho in the eyes of the people.” (Indeed; all manner of liberals have been exulting in the new image of Obama the Heroic Hit Man. For example, Juan Cole and James Wolcott – both long-time scourges of the witless, brutal militarism of the Bush Regime – posted up a lolcat-style photo of a cool, grinning Obama in shades, emblazoned with the tagline, “Sorry it took so long to get you a copy of my birth certificate – I was too busy killing Osama bin Laden.”) Digby then goes on to offer up another telling – and damning – insight: Besides, the question of whether the president could order an assassination was settled some time ago. They assert the right to keep prisoners in jail forever and kill American citizens, and nobody cares, so why in the world would there be any domestic blowback for ordering the death of the world's most wanted man? Here is where the schizophrenia sets in. It is obvious, from this and other posts, that Digby is horrified and outraged at Obama’s open claim of this universal license to kill and imprison with impunity. That is, she fully recognizes that the United States government is led by a man who believes he can murder anyone he pleases, at any time, at his own arbitrary decision. She knows that he has used this power over and over, most extensively in Pakistan, where even by the most conservative estimates hundreds of innocent people – including many women and children – have been killed in Obama’s drone missile campaign. She knows, in other words, that Obama has killed hundreds of innocent people. Hundreds of innocent people. Little children, women, old folks, young marrieds, fathers, mothers, teenagers – he has killed them in their own homes, in the streets of their villages, in their cars, at their weddings and funerals and birthday parties and family gatherings, raining down missiles, without warning, with no way to escape, no defense, killed them, the babies, the children, the old, the sick, ripped their bodies to shreds, buried them under rubble, tore off their heads, set them on fire to die in the purest agony. She knows this. She decries this. She believes it is wrong. Yet the general thrust of her widely read blog is that this man who does these things, who commits these horrors, who claims these murderous, tyrannous powers, should, at all costs, be retained in power so that he can carry on doing these things which sicken and horrify her.
  4. lol@North. That was a good read. The story keeps changing and thats whats puzzling with the whole episode.
  5. ^^^So Ethiopia gets its nose bloddied so much that they eneter Somalia at will and their proxies are chasing Al Shabaab around in Galgaduud and now Gedo? Come again lad. the Ethiopian state is not weaker than it was 2 years ago. Al Shabaab is.
  6. ^^^So Ethiopia troops have not entered Somalia in the past two years? You are living in Shangoola-Land lad.
  7. ^^^There is no problem here Galmudug is doing well and the Garowe accord is in effect..
  8. Somalina, the reason why Al Shabaab have never attacked Ethiopia is, they know whats good for them and value their lives a great deal.
  9. ^^^lol@poor che, his groups have been unable to defeat a mild militia in Gedo and now are calling as usual for war with Ethiopia who they never have even threatened to attack.
  10. Che:lol@ barely made a dent. Are you crazy, they just got routed in Garbaharay and lost over 50 fighters.

  12. ^^^lool- what, they have lost big time. There is much rain in Somalia and Al Shabaab have yet to arrive in Guriceel.
  13. Osama bin Laden regretted not spending more time with his children and doesn't want them to follow in his footsteps. Photograph: Anonymous/AP Osama Bin Laden's last wish, according to a document purported to be his will, was that his wives not remarry after his death and his children not join al-Qaida. Al-Anbaa, a Kuwaiti newspaper, reported on Tuesday that the will, marked "private and confidential" was dated 14 December 2001, three months after the 9/11 attacks, when US forces were hunting him in Afghanistan. The four-page document, written on a computer and signed by "your brother Abu Abdullah Osama Muhammad Bin Laden," predicts that he would die by the "treachery" of those around him. Al-Anbaa does not reveal how or when it obtained the will or whether it was able to authenticate it. Al-Majallah, a Saudi-owned Arabic magazine, published a similar document in 2002 but it was dismissed as a fraud by a pro-jihadi website. In the document, Bin Laden lists the assault on New York's twin towers in a sequence beginning with the suicide bomb attack on US marines in Lebanon in 1983, the killing of 19 US marines serving as UN peacekeepers in Somalia in 1993 and the bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi in 1998. But its most striking feature is that he orders his wives not to remarry and urges his children not to join al-Qaida or go to "the front", citing the example of the seventh century Muslim Caliph Omar bin Khattab to his son Abdullah. Bin Laden also asked his children to forgive him for not having spent enough time with them. "I have chosen a path fraught with dangers and endured hardships, disappointment and betrayal. If it wasn't for betrayal, things would be different today. "As for you, my sons, forgive me if I failed to devote more of my time to you since I answered the call to Jihad." He ends his will by advising "the mujahideen wherever they are" to suspend "the fight against the Jews and the Crusaders and start to purge your ranks of agents and defeatists."
  14. Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan during the war with Russia – though some say he never exposed himself to danger. Photograph: Sipa Press / Rex Features 1. Osama bin Laden was 'created' by the CIA He did not receive any direct funding or training from the US during the 1980s. Nor did his followers. The Afghan mujahideen, via Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency, received large amounts of both. Some bled to the Arabs fighting the Soviets but nothing significant. 2. He had a huge personal fortune Bin Laden was forced to leave any cash he had when he in effect fled Saudi Arabia in 1991 for Pakistan and then Sudan. His family cut him off. Nor would the inheritance from his hugely wealthy father have been divided into equal parts anyway. What Bin Laden did have was contacts, which allowed him to raise money with ease. 3. He was responsible for 1993 bombing of World Trade Centre Ramzi Yousef, who was the main perpetrator of the attack, was probably working for Khaled Sheikh Mohammed who was an independent operator at the time. Mohammed only started working with al-Qaida in 1996 and even then kept his distance from Bin Laden. 4. He got money from drug running No evidence for this whatsoever despite repeated claims – such as in the post 9/11 British government dossier on al-Qaida. 5. He never exposed himself to any danger He did not single-handedly seize a short-barrelled AK-47 from a dying Soviet general as he sometimes claimed but numerous witnesses report that he was in the thick of fighting in Jaji in 1987 and again at the battle of Jalalabad in 1989. 6. He spent a lot of time in caves In the late 1990s, for propaganda purposes, Bin Laden invited select journalists to meet him in caves near Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. However he lived in a much more comfortable compound a short drive away, near the former Soviet collective farm of Hadda owned by a local warlord. By 1999 he had moved to a complex of houses near Kandahar. When he was killed, he was living in a relatively comfortable detached house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. In between, there is no evidence that he spent any time living in caves. The rest of al-Qaida's senior militants appear to have lived in the semi-fortified houses that are common in the tribal zones. 7. He was a tearaway teenager who partied in Beirut before becoming religious. There is no evidence for this either. Bin Laden appears to have been an intense, shy and pious youth who married young and spent an inordinate amount of time studying scripture. 8. He was near to dying of a kidney disease. There are some reports – not least in the Guantánamo files – of renal problems but certainly not serious enough to kill him. It is more likely he had back problems caused by his height (around 6ft 5in) and relatively sedentary lifestyle. 9. He hid in Kashmir, was the leader of Chechen groups, was responsible for violence in the Philippines and in Indonesia, organised the Madrid 2004 attack and had an extensive network in Paraguay, sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa. All these claims, made by various governments or intelligence services over the last decade have proved totally without foundation. 10. Bin Laden was an Arsenal fan Despite fans reportedly chanting "Osama, woah-woah, Osama, woah-waoh, he's hiding in Kabul, he loves the Arsenal", Bin Laden was not a faithful of the north London club.
  15. ^^^She can say whatever she wants to her President and kinsmen however what are you to her? Nothing, yet you quote her and promote her. Now thats nice.
