    MMA,

     

    Haa, hadaan gartay. Iga raali ahow saaxib.

     

    Admin. did before I came online today, after he saw Hornafrique's and Wind's name matching one unique IP. I knew nothing. That was his decision after his preliminary inquiry, which further investigation revealed some of the time those names (there aren't limited to Horn or Wind, but other registered usernames as well) fall under on a few unique IPs. It can be they are pals who use one computer together at school or home. Only Eebbe knows.

    Interesting. I would like to know how is it they have the same IP address as well.

    Some ads are alright but there must be a limit somewhere. Or do you enjoy watching 60 minutes of commercials? That defeats the purpose of programming dont you think?

     

    Wait till it premiers, its gonna be a box office smash.

    I highly doubt that.

    As for the Apprentice, there is FAR too much advertising on the program...and I'm not talking about commercials. I wonder how much Sony paid for that Zathura(what a worthless film) spot on this weeks episode.

     

    The Martha version is even worse...

    Why did you even do to somaliland- what was the purpose, and don' tell you were just curious. it seemed to me that you are judging somaliland and somaliders by some ****** remaks like "For some reason the word “warlord†pops up in my head when I hear “Somaliâ€. Somali Warlord." and "women can be seen hanging around, faces covered by some green paste (the nature of which I have been unable to determine) but is presumably to make their skin lighter." your are so f**cking narrow minded. there isn't a single warlord in Somalidand, get a clue because if there was at least one you would be dead. That stuff women put on their face is a NATURAL FACIAL CLEANSER. why should somalilanders thank you for talking about their country, what have you done?- nothing, because you didn't notice all the things that they 've done that matters.

    17. The foregoing notwithstanding, arms transactions remained numerous, as

    indicated in the statistical increase over transactions documented in the previous

    mandate period. The arms were crucially important for opposition plans to protect

    itself against TFG forces. The opposition used arms purchased at BAM to fight TFG

    in the battle for control of the strategically important town of Baidoa (Bay region).

    Both the leadership of the opposition in Mogadishu and Habsade, the member of the

    opposition in charge of Baidoa, purchased arms from BAM in apparent anticipation

    of the fight for Baidoa. It is significant to note that on 22 May 2005, approximately

    one week before the second battle of Baidoa, a very large arms shipment arrived

    from Yemen, via the arms-trading networks, at BAM. The shipment consisted of 500

    AK-47 assault rifles, 100 PKM machine guns, 120 RPG-2 rocket launchers, 3 Zu-23

    anti-aircraft guns, 15 DShK anti-aircraft guns, 12 Dhuunshilke one-barrel antiaircraft

    guns, 20 120mm mortars, 6 B-10s and a variety of ammunition. The buyers

    included the following: Sheik Yusuf Indohaadde, who on 23 May 2005 bought

    28 AK-47s, 3 120mm mortars, 2 Dhuunshilkes, 2 B-10s, 11 RPG-2s and a variety of

    ammunition; Muse Suudi, who on 25 May 2005 bought 50 AK-47s, magazines for

    AK-47s, ammunition boxes, empty belt feeders for PKMs, belts for militiamen and

    a variety of ammunition; Qanyare, who on 25 May 2005 bought 50 AK-47s,

    4 PKMs, ammunition for small arms, mortars and Zu-23s, magazines for AK-47s

    and empty belt feeders for PKMs; Atto, who on 25 May 2005 bought 4 120mm

    mortars and 120 shells for them; and, Habsade who on 26 May 2005 bought 50 AK-

    47s and a variety of ammunition, through Indohaadde’s representative at BAM (see

    annex I).

     

    18. Similarly, learning of TFG plans for a possible move to Jowhar, the opposition

    also purchased arms from BAM and moved some militias to positions around

    Jowhar. The militias involved in encircling Jowhar included that of Muse Suudi,

    who moved his militia to a position about five kilometres south-west of the city.

    Sheik Yusuf Indohaadde moved militia members from Baledogle airfield to

    positions north-east of Jowhar. Bashir Rage and Abukar Omar Adaan sent 13 of

    their most militarily capable technicals to positions located 20 kilometres south-east

    of Jowhar. The Monitoring Group noted that during this time, the opposition had

    12

    S/2005/625

    purchased a number of anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition from BAM. The

    buyers included the following: Sheik Yusuf Indohaadde, who on 22 April 2005

    bought 1 DShK anti-aircraft gun and ammunition for a Zu-23 anti-aircraft gun and

    on 25 April 2005 bought DShK Zu-23 ammunition; Mohamed Qanyare, who bought

    2 DShKs on 16 April 2005; and Bashir Rage, who bought 1 Zu-23 and ammunition

    on 23 April 2005 and 2 DShKs on 15 May 2005

     

    Another State[Eritrea] in the region

     

    36. The Monitoring Group has been informed that another State in the region

    provided support to the opposition and the Oromo National Liberation Front

    (ONLF) in the form of arms. That State provided arms to opposition allies including

    Sheik Yusuf Indohaadde (Governor of Lower Shabelle), Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys

    (an Al Itihad leader) and others for the purpose of countering support provided to

    TFG by Ethiopia.

     

    37. Credible sources alleged that from approximately the beginning of February to

    the end of the second week of May 2005, that State supplied arms on approximately

    eight different occasions to Hassan Dahir Aweys and elements of ONLF that at the

    time were located in the Dhusamareeb area of the Galgaduud region. The arms were

    16

    S/2005/625

    transported on aircraft that flew from the State in question to an airfield located in

    the Dhusamareeb area.

     

    38. Hassan Dahir Aweys had travelled to that central Somalia location to establish

    sharia courts and to provide military training to his militia (Al Itihad) or set up

    military training programmes. While there he also met with representatives of the

    ****** Liberation Front (OLF) and ONLF. Some were militia leaders who arrived

    in Dhusamareeb by aircraft from the State in question in April 2005. Also, during

    the last week of April and the end of the second week of May 2005, approximately

    three flights transporting 270 trained and equipped ONLF militia arrived in

    Dhusamareeb from that State. Most of the shipments of arms provided during the

    first part of the period mentioned above were given to Hassan Dahir Aweys, with

    the smaller portion going to ONLF.

     

    39. The Monitoring Group also received credible information that the same State

    provided another member of the opposition, Sheik Yusuf Indohaadde, with arms by

    transporting them to two locations in Middle Shabelle — by aircraft to Baledogle

    Airport, near Mogadishu, and by ship to the port of Marka. Both shipments arrived

    between 25 March and 10 April 2005. Included among the types of arms in the

    shipments were anti-aircraft guns and mines.

     

    40. The Monitoring Group noted above that Sheik Indohaadde and other

    opposition leaders from Mogadishu had provided arms to Habsade, opposition

    leader in charge of Baidoa, for potential use against TFG forces in the fight for

    control of that city on 30 May 2005. Subsequent to the battle, the Monitoring Group

    obtained two metal ammunition containers and photographs of other ammunition

    containers that were alleged by Monitoring Group sources to have been provided by

    the State in question.

    41. The Monitoring Group has further learned that an opposition leader and TFG

    dissident from Mogadishu travelled to that State during the middle of the mandate

    period to make arrangements with authorities there to obtain arms shipments. The

    State allegedly promised to give arms only to the opposition and in quantities that

    equalled what TFG President Yusuf received from other countries.

     

    42. The Monitoring Group did not mention the State of the region by name

    because at the time of the writing of the present report it had not completed its

    investigation. However, the Monitoring Group remained convinced that the

    information was of sufficient quality and credibility to merit its inclusion in the

    report, but without naming the State. The Monitoring Group also believed that

    including the information describing the activities of the State in Somalia is

    important for a balanced understanding of the overall picture presented in the

    present report. As a final note, the Monitoring Group has been made aware of

    historical information previously given to the Security Council by the Panel of

    Experts relating to a very similar pattern of activity conducted by the same State in

    its involvement in the affairs of Somalia.

    Lets bring a bit of balance shall we...Annex 1 of UN Report. Here is a quote that sums up the situation:

     

    "The establishment of a viable Government in Somalia continues to be the

    greatest threat to and fear of those people (members of the different TFG

    institutions, warlords, businessmen, traders, religious fundamentalists and others)that have through years of operating in a lawless territory carved out their own kingdoms, replete with personal political power and ambitions, military-style

    muscle in the form of their own militias and, probably most importantly, the

    *ongoing* accumulation of PERSONAL WEALTH. A Somali Government would

    considerably alter this landscape of PERSONAL KINGDOMS. This threat to vested

    interests remains the impetus behind the increasing threat of serious violent

    confrontation between TFG and the opposition, which is in reality an alliance of

    convenience to PRESERVE vested interests."

    I wonder what is the difference between the settlers who were coming into mogadishu in their thousands during the golden days of siyad barre from far regions
    such as
    gedo and somaligalbeed.

    I think you might have missed that snippet. He listed these TWO areas as examples, and not exclusive areas, of migrants to the Capital.

     

    Dont be so jumpy :D
