How Somaliland president stokes clan hostilities. Thu, 17 Mar 2011 12:27:05 -0400~pm -04:00 -14400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In November 2010 a dispute over building water-reservoirs at Kalshaale hamlet in Togdheer region in northern Somalia developed into clashes between two sub-clans from two clans living in the area. The dispute over the water-reservoirs was brewing for several months. Two days before last year’s Eid-ul-Adha day a man from Buuhoodle traveling in his truck was murdered by some men from Somaliland president’s clansmen who were building water-reservoirs at Kalshaale grazing land. Rather than handing over suspects to the authorities in Burco, the administrative capital of Togdheer region, and starting talks with the clan of the murdered man as the Somali customary law stipulates if the clan or sub-clan identities of perpetrators are known, Somaliland president’s clansmen men let matters fester to a point where the murdered man’s clansmen from Buuhoodle attacked men they thought to be murderers. A mediation conference has been held for the feuding sub-clans. Somaliland administration supported this approach to resolving clan disputes through the inter-clan customary law rather than through the Somaliland legal system. For the sake of argument give the Somaliland administration the benefit of doubt that its position is based on the logic that only one of the clans—that of Somaliland president’s— supports the Somaliland secession, therefore it is reasonable to adjudicate resource-related disputes through the customary law. Joint mediation committee was formed to discuss the clashes and causes of clashes to avert further bloodshed. At the end of the mediation conference, a declaration was issued by the elders of the clan of the Somaliland president. Buuhoodle elders have rejected the outcome of the mediation. In such a situation the two parties call for a third, impartial party to adjudicate the disputes. Somaliland president, Ahmed Mohamed Siilaanyo has issued a statement supporting the outcome of the mediation and said government would send Somaliland forces to the disputed grazing land to enforce the recommendations from “ elders”. Somaliland president’s decree was not only a provocation but it also undermined all the goodwill that people in the Northern Somalia have built since 1991: he took sides in the dispute by aiming to enforce recommendation from his clan’s elders although he claims to be a president for all people in Ex-British Somaliland including Buuhoodle elders. After the deployment of forces that Somaliland administration calls a national army at Kalshaale, clashes had taken place between Buuhoodle-based militias on one side and assortment of clan militias with contingents of Somaliland “security forces” on the other side. More than 100 men have been killed on both sides. President Siilaanyo’s 2011 decree to use violence to bring the Kalshaale incident to an end is one of the documented presidential decisions to stoke clan hostilities in post-1991 Somalia. Augustine Philip Mahiga, the United Nations Special Representative for Somalia and Head of the United Nations Political Office for Somalia told Radio Daljir that the drought had caused Kalshaale clashes. Somaliland administration receives development aid from the European Union on behalf of regions Somaliland government regards as constituent parts of what was known as Ex-British Somaliland. Not all regions in Ex-British Somaliland are under the Somaliland administration. Somaliland has never disclosed how development aid is distributed and who makes decisions on whose behalf. The British government is funding training for Somaliland security forces being conducted in Ethiopia. In May 2011, Somaliland will celebrate its twentieth anniversary since a group of former Somali National Movement leaders declared a unilateral secession. There are three political parties in Somaliland; two successful elections were conducted in parts of ex-British Somaliland under Somaliland administration. Those achievements are eclipsed by Somaliland president’s miscalculations to fan clan hostilities and undermine both traditional and modern conflict resolution approaches in this age of increased awareness about human rights violations.

Gabdhahan ayaa reer Puntalnd iyo ummadda Soomaaliyeedba ka codsday in ay ka hadlaan kana dibad-baxaan dhibaatooyinka ay sheegeen in lagu hayo dadka reer Sool. Somaliland ayaa gacata ku dhigtay inta badan gobolka sool oo ay ku jirto magaaladda xarunta ah ee Laascaanood 15-kii bishii October 2007-dii xiligaasi oo ay awood millatari kagala wareegeen ciidamadii Puntland. Tan iyo wixii xilligaa ka dambeeyay Puntland wax tallaabo ah kama ayan qaadin dib-u-soo celinta gobolka Sool, marka laga reebo hanjabaad iyo baaqyo ay maamulladii kala dambeeyay saxaafadda u mariyeen maamulka Somaliland kagana codsanayeen in uu isaga baxo gobolka. Dhawaan ayuu madaxwaynaha dawladda Puntland Cabdiraxaman Maxamed Faroole waxa uu markii ugu horaysay lahjad kulul ku sheegay in uu maamulkiisu sii daawan doonin tallaabooyinka Somaliland, waxana uu sheegay in haddii ayan isaga bixin gobollada Sool iyo Cayn ay tallaabo millatari qaadan doonaan.

Why dont you apply Che, you would make a fine Pirate..

^^^Yeah and Riyaale was a Siyad Barre spy, that Siilanyu has sent his clan militia to kill civilians in Cayn and Godane & Afghani are an asset for the secessionists. Godane is is safe in Hargaysa under the protection of his supporters..

^^^Air it out lad, that old lady is safe at home and no one raped her. Godane & Afghani are still leaders of Al Shabaab causing havoc in the South of Somalia with the support of Hargaysa's junta. Thats whats being reported as we speak..

Concern grows for 'out of control' plant as Britons advised to consider leaving Tokyo US nuclear chief says no more water in spent fuel pool at plant • New power lines being laid to the Fukushima plant 'almost complete' • In rare public address, Emperor Akihito says he is 'deeply concerned'

^^^lol@ that poor British woman who was held in Cadaado, you do know where that is right? However Godane & Afghani are the top leaders of Al Shabaab and they have great contacts and support amongst the secessionists...

Gobolka cusub ee Cowl, la yaab ma leh. Nabad, deganaansho siyaasadeed, awood qaybsi dhaqaale iyo horumar ayey rabaan. Iyagoon Somali kala go'ayn dantooda haday gartaan waa in lagu taageero.

^^^lol@ So now you are only claiming two towns in Sanaag? Secessionist and their nonsense. Whats the Distance between Dhahar & Badhan? I thought so.

'Lethal doses' But Gregory Jaczko, head of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said Wednesday that emergency workers may have been exposed to "lethal doses" of radiation. "It would be very difficult for emergency workers to get near the reactors. The doses they could experience would potentially be lethal doses in a very short period of time," told a House subcommittee. Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20 km zone around the plant, while those within 30 km of the plant have been told to stay indoors because of the risk from heightened radiation levels. The official death toll from Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami rose to 4,340 on Wednesday although thousands of people are still missing and officials say at least 10,000 have likely been killed. Japanese Emperor Akihito also gave a rare televised address to the nation describing the catastrophe as being of an "unprecedented scale". Many governments have urged their citizens to leave Tokyo and earthquake-affected areas amid concerns Japan's capital could be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation if the situation worsens. Great Britain said Britons in Tokyo should leave because of the "evolving situation at the Fukushima nuclear facility". Australia, France and Germany have also advised their citizens to leave Tokyo. The US said Americans living within 80 km of the plant should leave the area or take shelter indoors. Tokyo reported slightly elevated radiation levels on Tuesday, but officials said the increase was too small to threaten the 39 million people in and around the capital. Businesses have issued similar travel advisories telling people to consider moving away from disaster areas if they have no reason to be there. Meanwhile US forces in Japan have been told to stay at least 80 km from the crippled Fukushima complex without special authorisation. Reuters news agency, citing the US military, said potassium iodide tablets have been given to some air crews ahead of missions as a precaution against radiation, though no personnel in Japan are showing signs of radiation poisoning

Radiation levels Surging radiation levels forced Japan to order emergency workers at the crippled nuclear plant to be briefly moved to a bunker, as reported in the local media, in the desperate battle to cool the overheating reactors. Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett said workers struggling to avert a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear complex were allowed to return to the facility later. "The 70 workers who were taken into that protective bunker were able to go back and restart operations crucial to keeping this entire plant cool," he said. "They have been pumping sea water into the reactors; the ones that were active before the earthquake and the ones which were just housing spent fuel." Yukio Edano, the Japanese chief cabinet secretary, said the workers dousing the reactors in a frantic effort to cool them needed to be taken to safety after an explosion a day earlier in the Unit 4 reactor led to a surge in radiation. The blast is thought to have damaged the reactor's suppression chamber, a water-filled pipe outside the nuclear core that is part of the emergency cooling system. Hajimi Motujuku, a spokesman for the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, said the outer housing of the containment vessel at Unit 4 was in flames on Wednesday. The level of radiation at the plant surged to 1,000 millisieverts early on Wednesday before coming down to 800-600 millisieverts.

'Maximum' effort at stricken plant UN nuclear chief denies situation at earthquake-damaged nuclear plant is out of control as emergency efforts continue. Last Modified: 16 Mar 2011 19:36 The Japanese head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, has denied that the situation at an earthquake-damaged nuclear plant is out of control. "It is not the time to say things are out of control," Yukiya Amano told a news conference. "The operators are doing the maximum to restore the safety of the reactor. Yukiya Amano was responding to comments by Guenther Oettinger, the EU energy chief, suggesting that efforts to contain the crisis at the Fukushima plant had failed after efforts to cool a reactor by dumping water on it from a helicopter were abandoned. The plant has been hit by a series of explosions since Friday's quake knocked out reactor cooling systems. "In the coming hours there could be further catastrophic events which could pose a threat to the lives of people on the island," Oettinger told a European Parliament committee. There was hope early on Thursday that a newly built power line that could restore electricity at the plant would soon be ready. If the plant's electricity-powered pumps can be restarted, water could be pumped to the damaged reactors to cool them. Naoki Tsunoda, a spokesman for Tokyo Electric Power Company, said officials planned to try the line as soon as possible, but could not say when, the AP news agency reported.

According to the Kyodo news agency, Japan's nuclear agency has said that the water level has been dropping in the No 5 reactor as well: The agency said it will closely monitor data on the reactor to prevent the problems that occurred at other reactors. Given what has happened elsewhere this isn't a surprise and we should expect the same thing in No 6 as well. Reactors 4, 5 and 6 were actually out of commission at the time of the earthquake and tsunami, but the danger remains because of the highly radioactive used fuel stored in the reactors. In the case of No 4, it may have had more spent fuel, and it was harmed by the nearby explosions in the 1, 2 and 3 reactors, which was most likely to cause of the first fire in No 4. 7.49pm: Jaczko's worrying comments below (see 7.30pm) are at odds with reports from the Japanese media saying that coolant continues to be added into the Fukushima reactors. According to the last report from the Jiji Press agency, posted nearly three hours ago, states:

Japan nuclear crisis - Sharp increase in radiation from Fukushima plant • Smoke rising from badly damaged No 3 reactor • Another fire seen within No 4 reactor building • Reactor workers ordered out for health reasons • Earthquake felt in Shizuoka, south-west of Tokyo • Read the latest summary of events • Read the Guardian's latest news story

^^^LOL@XX, it was Siilanyu's government that just wrote a late Valantines card to Melez Zanawi and you are still speaking? Come of it mate, you are all hot air.

^^lol , whats striking is that XX, is going mad that we know, what he and other secessionists know. Godane & Afghani are assets to Hargaysa & Siilanyu and hence all the secessiosts love for the crazy Al Shabaab..

^^^The link between Godane's Al Shabaab & the secessionists in Hargaysa is as clear as day. The fact that you are frothing from the mouth and keep posting in this thread indicates to the varacity of this link.

^^^My point is that the two top leaders are from hargaysa and have close ties to Siilanyu & Goboose.. Thats a known fact that you have no evidance to dispute it..
