Somaliland president pardons 600 prisoners 17/10/2006 17:02 HARGEISA (Reuters) - President Dahir Rayale Kahin of Somalia’s self-declared breakaway republic of Somaliland has pardoned 600 prisoners to coincide with the end of Ramadan, the prosecutor-general said on Tuesday. Detainees to be freed include 44 women and 12 men jailed for protesting last month against the alleged torture of Sheikh Mohamed Sheikh Ismail, arrested last year on suspicion of being involved in terrorist activities. "All those who were sentenced for 6 months or 3 months for taking part in the demonstration...will be released," Somaliland prosecutor-general Hussein Dhere told reporters. But prisoners serving jail terms for terrorism, murder and rape would not be released, he added. The end of the Muslim fasting month is due to be celebrated in Somaliland on Sunday or next Monday. It was not immediately clear how many prisoners are serving time in the northern enclave which declared independence from Somalia in 1991 when warlords ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre, plunging the country into chaos. Local media said last month’s protest in Somaliland’s capital Hargeisa was sparked after several websites published pictures purported to show the torture of Ismail by interrogators. continues

The forces returned fire, killing the gunman and wounding two of the passengers. Shabelle reporter in Jilib Farhan said the gunman was a fugitive, escaping from arrest after he had murdered a local man Ali Jiliow and he was member of militias who mugged people in the area.The Islamic Courts in Kismayu, some 500 km south of the capital, had raided 3 houses that belonged to Col. Ahmed Shire who had battlewagons in his house in Kismayu. Col. Shire was member of the defeated Jubba Valley Alliance that was once in control of the port city of Kismayu.

"The original mission of the Somali National Army was to protect the nation from external aggression.

what's with these accussations of being in denial? you guys don't make sense you take your few life experiences and then you multiply it into a ''so-called majority in our community worldwide behaving badly'' it's like me taking all my life experiences of seeing somali men and women graduate from uni somali men and women working hard for their families somali men and women who started their own businesses it's like me taking all these examples and then portray the whole somali community as angels with no flaws evendo my generalisation has more cred it's not logical you guys generalise a whole community on the acts of a few Alisomali So how come all these somalis are in prison for selling crack or raping girls under 13yrs old.What is happening to our society? that i think this gross generalisation is a fallacy doesn't mean i'm in denial!!

there are bad people in every community every community from turks to morrocans to whatever are suffering from these types of setbacks why do somalis always pretend like their the only ones

Mo Farah: the second fastest Briton ever at 5000m The last time a Somali athlete made a big noise on the world athletics stage it was to signal the end of Britain's golden era in the middle-distances. With that in mind, there is a delicious irony in the prospect that, almost two decades on and with British athletics fast becoming the laughing-stock, another 'Somali' is on the threshold of sparking a British middle-distance revival. Mo Farah was born in Mogadishu, came to Britain at the age of nine without a word of English, but now speaks with an accent that is very south London. In keeping with his new identity his running inspiration is also one of Britain's finest, Paula Radcliffe, though another name frequently crops up when he mixes with those who share the family ties. "If you ask anyone of Somali background they talk about Abdi Bile," Farah says. "I would like to meet him one day." At Rome in 1987 it was Bile who took advantage of an off-colour Steve Cram to deprive the Briton of a second straight world 1500 m title. It was also the last time a British man went into a major championship over a distance longer than 800 metres as the favourite. In Gothenburg, and with Britain's athletes facing their worst European Championships for 40 years, the men's 5000 metres offers a ray of hope. Farah is a changed character, poised to step out of the shadows of Britain's 21st century middle-distance mediocrity http://www.hiiraan.com/news/2006/aug/African-influence-helps-farah-lead-middle-distance-revival.aspx

Abdi Abdirahman Born in Somalia, Abdirahman (whose full first name is Abdihakim) moved with his family to Arizona when he was 13. He didn’t take up running until five years later, when he began classes at Pima Community College. As he explained to the Arizona Daily Wildcat, “I had this friend who told me that I look like a runner, so I went to practice with the team. The first time I ran with the team, I was in jeans and a T-shirt and I beat everybody.†During his career at Pima, Abdirahman was a two-time state junior college champion, and it wasn’t long before Wildcats head coach David Murray noticed Abdirahman’s skills and encouraged him to transfer to the University of Arizona. Career Highlights: Two-time USA 10,000m Champion (‘01, ‘05); two-time USA 10,000m runner-up; 2005 USA 10-mile champion Abdirahman’s 2005 season was highlighted by winning his second career U.S. men’s 10,000m title and qualifying for his second world outdoor championships team.
