An OD correspondent in South Africa has been sending me regular bulletins from Nelson Mandela’s “Rainbow Nation.” White Nationalists in North America have always followed the news out of South Africa, but I am getting the impression that we have underestimated how awful life is there for the average White person. The typical White American hasn’t heard anything about South Africa since Mandela was inaugurated as president. He assumes everything must be hunky dory over there. Here is a brief snapshot of life is really like in the world’s first “post-racial society.” The material compiled here are all stories that have come out of South Africa over the past two weeks. Most of them are taken from the local press. This is the indispensable background to the Eugene Terre’blanche farm murder and the “racial tension” the MSM is wailing about.

Ghandi is showing the same failures of leadership and comprehension as his cousin Omar Jess, even with supposed two PhD’s we have the same crap.One judges any brand by its name, Azania is a false name that has nothing to do with Somalia and is used contemporarily by a segment of South Africa’s black population. If Ghadi a “learned” man did not now this, then we have a major problem.

Even the name that "Ghandi" supporters used was not original nor even un-used.. Azania is the name that has been applied to various parts of sub-Saharan Africa. In Roman times—and perhaps earlier—the name referred to a portion of the Southeast African coast south of the Horn of Africa,[1] extending south perhaps as far as modern Tanzania. In the late 20th century, the term was used in place of "South Africa" by some opponents of the white-minority rule of that country. For South AfricaThe first mention of the name Azania with a South African connection appeared in the 1930s archaeological reports of excavations at Mapungubwe in the northern Transvaal. The skeletal remains were referred to as "ancient Azanians" meaning they were probably Cushitic peoples who had filtered down the Great Rift Valley from Ethiopia and East Africa. Zionist Church movements in South Africa say that unvocalized Hebrew for Zion is ZN (which is not in fact true; see Zion), as is unvocalised Azania.[citation needed] Azania in a political South African context appeared again in 1958, when the name was proposed as a replacement name for South Africa, at the All-African Peoples' Conference hosted in Accra, Ghana, by Kwame Nkrumah - an idea similar to Nkrumah shortly before changing his own country's colonial name ("Gold Coast") and replacing it by that of the Medieval Ghana Empire. The modern use of Azania as an alternative name for South Africa among revolutionary Black African nationalists only began to become popular in 1979, however, appearing in the names of groups such as the Azanian People's Organisation, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania and the Socialist Party of Azania. Conversely, however, the African National Congress had always been extremely dismissive of the name, associating it with colonialism. ANC rejection of the name and sticking to the usage of "South Africa" reflected its fierce rivalry, throughout the years of the anti-Apartheid struggle, with the Pan Africanist Congress which had split from the ANC. At the time of the 1994 multi-racial elections, some proposed "Azania" as an alternative official name for the country, but this never received widespread support - reflecting the overwhelming ANC electoral victory and the PAC's marginalization. So now Azania/South Africa is in the Juba's of Somalia?

Narnia created in Nairobi by a Professor with the nickname of Ghandi, its a ridiculous idea by a man who is out of touch with reality. Instead of seeking a lasting solution and a holistic approach he takes the easy sub clan ride of parties in foreign capitals and self declarations. He is being sponsored by the Kenyans who want to create their own layer of security and a buffer zone in the fertile and much troubled regions of the Juba’s.

Somalia creates new state, Azania, latest administration. Sat, 09 Apr 2011 21:04:13 -0400 pm -04:00 -14400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Malkhadir M. Muhumed Somali politicians have announced the creation of a new state in the battle-scarred nation, a move condemned by Somalia's fragile government, which said it could further fracture the already chaotic Horn of Africa country. The creation of Azania was celebrated Sunday in a colorful ceremony in Kenya's capital. Its creation brings the total number of new states to more than 10. Kenya supports the new administration as it creates a buffer zone near its border with Somalia. Azania President Mohamed Abdi Gandhi said his first duty is to retake his territory from al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab. "Our aim of establishing this administration is to first liberate these regions," he said. "We are not breaking away from Somalia." Much of Somalia's southern and central regions, including large swaths of the capital of Mogadishu, are controlled by al-Shabab. But Somali Information Minister Abdulkareem Jama said the new states are a bad idea. "Taking that path is a disaster," he said. "The idea that every region and every group of people has to form their own government without the consultation of the national government will only create more differences among communities and encourage Somalis not to come together." Somalia's interim charter allows for new states. The idea is appealing to many, who still bear hatred toward the country's last centralized government, which failed to accommodate many residents outside the capital. Somalia has been mired in chaos since the fall of that government in 1991. In 1991, inhabitants of northern Somalia formed their own administration called Somaliland. The region is independent from Mogadishu but does not have international recognition. In 1998, residents of the northeast followed suit by creating the semiautonomous region of Puntland. "The whole process is being driven by local people who just said 'let's try at different options that are responsive to our local needs,'" said Rashid Abdi, a Somali expert at the International Crisis Group. Many say the rush to form these states may create conflicts among communities because of the lack of demarcated borders. The national government can do little, as it can barely control a few blocks of the capital, where it is busy battling Islamist militants. "The biggest danger of this trend is that in a few contested areas the declaration of regional administrations could trigger armed clashes between clans or other social groups," said Ken Menkhaus, a Somali expert at North Carolina's Davidson College. By law, the government is required to promote and develop state governments to ensure that the process of federalism takes place within two and a half years. "The government has failed those people who are establishing new administrations," said Asha Gele, Puntland's minister for women and family affairs, and one of the founders of the administration. "If the government gave them directions they would not have acted by themselves. What is missing is the government's role." Source: AP

Somalia: Puntland Security Forces Apprehend Suspected Killers After Firefight. Sat, 09 Apr 2011 20:55:35 -0400 pm -04:00 -14400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following deadly shootings on 6 April 2011 in Garowe, the Puntland capital, the government’s security forces identified the killers and launched a massive manhunt day-and-night for the suspected killers that included house searches and tighter checkpoints in the outskirts of the city. On Thursday (7 April 2011), security forces surrounded the suspected killers hiding out at a location approximately 40km southwest of Garowe. One individual believed to be an organizer was killed and three others were apprehended after security forces responded to gunfire. The arrested individuals include one killer and two accomplices. The government has launched an investigation into the killings and it is believed that the violence is related to revenge killings. Mr. Mohamed Yasin (Ilkacase) was killed along with two bodyguards (Mr. Mohamud Mohamed Awad and Mr. Mohamed Barre Ali), who were members of Puntland security forces. Mr. Mohamed Yasin was an activist who worked for many years at the Puntland Development and Research Center (PDRC) in Garowe. The Puntland Government sends its deepest condolences to the families of the deceased who lost their loved ones in a senseless act of killing.

It deserves to be posted more than once..

What a loss, may Allah SWT give him peace and to his family and friends strengths in this most difficult of times.

“I believe that a reward good enough for all derives from good leadership, progress and justice.” Mohamed Yassin Essa, known to all by his nickname “Ilkoasse” (The Red Teeth). Peace, tolerance, justice, and development were the principles that Ilkoasse believed were essential for his society to move forwards. A devoted peacebuilder, his passion was to support the peacebuilding and democratization process in Puntland and further afield. His lifetime hope was to witness his society being able to determine and decide their own future. Ilkoasse was assassinated on the morning of 6th April 2011, in Garowe, the seat of the regional Administration of Puntland, Somalia. “Ilkoasse will remain an inspiration to all those he encountered. Delivering against his ambitions and dreams (riyadiisii) will be taken up by his colleagues around the world.” Abdirahman Abdulle Osman ‘Shuke’, Executive Director – PDRC, Garowe, Puntland Ilkoasse joined the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF) militia as a teenager in the 1980s, returning to the North East regions after the collapse of the Somali state in 1991. He became a cameraman working for the emerging leaderships, during what was then the first phase of the Somali civil war. Witnessing the national and regional peace missions as well as the high-level reconciliation initiatives, he journeyed across the region and abroad, gaining exceptional exposure. When the War-Torn Societies’ Project (WSP, later Interpeace) began its work in the North East regions in 1996 with offices in Galkayo, Garowe and Bosaso, Ilkoasse approached the director in his uniquely straightforward fashion and was taken on as a junior staff member. Ilkoasse’s keenness to learn and capacity to grow within the program was quickly noted by the Director of the program, the late Adan Jama Bihi, who arranged a correspondence course in Accounting. Ilkoasse not only demonstrated his ability in accounting but also captured the administrative work of the office and the hearts of the team. A decade later, Ilkoasse had become the Director of Finance and Administration for the Puntland Development Research Center and led the institution to eight consecutive clean audits from KPMG. In addition, Ilkoasse acquired research and analysis skills, a thorough understanding of Participatory Action Research methodology. He was a power house behind the peacebuilding and democratization work of PDRC, Interpeace, and other organisations, making critical contributions on both context and content. Beyond that, Ilkoasse was a peace mobiliser par excellence, able to gain access in all quarters and at all levels, forthright in speaking truth to power (as well as to his friends), and equally at ease with militiamen, civil society, intellectuals, or presidents. Last year, Ilkoasse went to Hargeysa to observe the Somaliland presidential elections and wrote about his experiences. His piece was published to great acclaim in Somaliland papers and read widely in Puntland. His eloquence was honoured by old friends and intellectuals who had watched him grow over the years "Now we see when you take up the pen that you can write too". The article reflects his courage, clarity of vision, and his life mission to support peacebuilding and democratization for the Puntland community and beyond. The murder of Ilkoasse goes into history as a lasting shame and hard lesson for the community and leadership in Puntland and across the Somali region. The negative legacies of the past and present contexts have to be outgrown by individuals, groups, and society in the 21st century for peace and development to emerge and flourish in the Somali region, causes for which Ilkoasse dedicated his life. Ilkoasse’s enthusiasm, optimism, fierce commitment to justice, and joyful passion for life are an inspiration to all who knew and worked with and loved him. Interpeace and its Somali peacebuilding partners, the Puntland Development Research Center, the Center for Research and Dialogue, and the Academy for Peace and Development express their deepest sympathy to Ilkoasse’s family, friends and colleagues.

AUN, to the elder.

^^^Not sure how Narnia helps in catching any fish? Gandhi’s recent actions and the sub clan euphoria only exposes the lack of basic understanding some have with governance and creation of stability. Puntland achieved its stability through a grassroots movement and not a naming ceremony. I have nothing against any group creating a viable admin, however the question is simple. Does this new claim create stability or more conflict in those troubled regions of ours?

Puntland indeed controls most of SOOL, SANAAG and CAYN without any doubts. Even the SSC group with all their talk are no more than an extension of Puntland, unionists and anti secessionists.

It's amazing I was accused of being a clanist for supporting Puntland a real state. Yet those who support a made up story in a Nairobi hotel because of clan are alright in the head. Onlf is a clan movement a real one at that. Yet Narnia takes be piss. It does not just show clanist bias, but also thr mental state of those who support it. It's 2011, and yet your group could not even achieve what Puntland did back in 1998.
