Millions of dollars earmarked for victims of the Ethiopian famine of 1984-85 went on buying weapons, according to a BBC investigation. Former rebel leaders told the BBC that they posed as merchants in meetings with charity workers to get aid money. They then diverted the cash to fund their attempts to overthrow the government of the time. Documents released by the CIA confirmed aid was "almost certainly being diverted for military purposes". Ethiopia famine aid 'spent on weapons'

Waraa dhaba, xabad xabad usoo baxa noh

^LooooooooooooooL@Zack...I will stay quite for while then but I will say one last thing. Land and people are inextricably linked. Dajiye-Of course, Somalia is divided, it is in the midst of civil war .This is about respecting of Somalia's sovereignty. Somalis are divided and have enemies, but not even the enemies are calling for partition of Somalia into two separate countries.

Duke-Faroole did say that!

Dajiye-The issue is not about Faroole. It is about more serious case of partitioning Somalia!! The Zack-Dividing Somali lands will inevitably lead to the farther division of the people. Faroole was wrong then, and Macalin is wrong now.

Dajiye-Enlighten me, what was his visit to Hargeysa about (since you seem more than I do)before we start going in circles again?

^This is his interview with VOA. He's asked repeatedly if he supports secession but evades the question.

^Sheydaan kasta Somali politics kujira, waana runtiisa (if you listened to his VOA interview)dad badan waa lago xamaashaa and worse things are in plans for Somalia but none of Somalia's enemies publicly ever called or encouraged secession and this is where he made grave mistake.

^I hate to state the obvious but Macalin answers to Nairobi too

Dajiye-I don't know what we should talk about. I can't even get simple answers from you for pretty straightforward questions. I'm not type for drama but as far as I'm concerned. Macalin was acting silly by endorsing secession, ignoring wishes of the LA , and not to mention overlooking the Hargeys'a own criminal history-all this to spite Puntland considering this was his actual motivation!! If his visit to Hargeysa was about something else, please do tell!

^Everybody is related to everybody unless you live on island! LooooL@Cowke...N your stories are absolutely true.

^So, you are not help in anyway whether be bringing in tourist money or otherwise?

^Dajiye..You are dancing around the issue. Let me clarify my position-Garowe and Hargeysa administrations take direct order from Addis-each if so ordered will hand anyone and everyone. My question is what was Malacin's motivation considering all both admins hand over innocent citizens to the Tigray regime? What is logic behind it? You condone one criminal entity and condemn the other?

^Have you been there?

^I'm not fan of Faroole and his stooges in Garowe but I'm not fan of men who support secession either? Could it be its folks from SSC that complained?

A&T..That doesn't make sense.He encouraged reer LA to join secessionist movement though he himself doesn't support secession?

^No, I was only showing how one could play with words and things lose credibility when the headlines starts with "maxaa kajira". Tell me what will Macalin do about Bishaaro? Visit Puntland?

^He's not crying-he just wants non-Somalis out of out Somali issues But seriously, I would like to know why do you assume it's Puntland that "hired" the foriegn minister?

A&T...I don't think Duke calls people pedophiles.

^You support secession too?

LooooooooooooooL...This one mad laugh.

VOA Interview Good Interview-some of the stuff he said goes against Kenya's interest, even implicates them.
