Somalia: Money-printing scam resumes in Puntland BOSSASO, Somalia Apr 12 (Garowe Online) - A ship loaded with special papers used to mint currency has docked at the port of Bossaso in northern Somalia, Garowe Online can report. The ship's contents were unloaded last Thursday under heavy guard. Sources in Bossaso said the ship had been docked at the port for some time, but was allowed to unload only recently. Gen. Adde Muse, the Puntland leader, had previously banned the minting of counterfeit Somali Shillings after hyperinflation in the region led to street protests. Muse has now allowed the businessmen, who are contracted by the government of Puntland, to resume their illegal money-printing operation. Last month, the ban on money-printing led to armed clashes between angry businessmen and Puntland security forces. Traditional elders had intervened to stop further bloodshed. In Bossaso, locals complained about the exchange rate, which now stands at 3,000,000 Somali Shillings for 100 U.S. dollars. The local price for food and other necessities has also reached new heights, making life difficult for poorer families. Source: Garowe Online

Jb...I think this is good time for the citizens to come to the streets and demand an end to this. The longer this bickering continues and the people remain passive, the more dangerous it gets. Xidigo...Ma maqlin miyaa odagii waa loo tashadey. Tigray iyo Al Shabaab aan kala gadisano yiraahdeen. Waxay u egtahay odayga inuu dhexda kabixi doono

Ethios and their stooges wax fara ugu jira ma jidho.

^I would hope they would seek attention through the usual channels, not through bombings in Hargeysa. Enough Somali blood has been shed!! Duke afkiibaa juuqda gabe.

It seems the old guard is up to its old tricks. Beware of these old farts that destroyed Somalia

^This is what happens when one reduces everything to an abstraction-weeds out the details so they could focus few concepts merely to promote or codify their own beliefs. It is simplistic way of looking at the world though it sounds highly intelligent.

^Half of the time I don't know what yu say, but somehow you make the most sense!

Nicolas Sarkozy today strongly denied reports that three people were killed in a French military operation against Somalian pirates. The French President "categorically denied" claims from eyewitnesses that French helicopters fired rockets at the pirates this afternoon, soon after they released 30 hostages from a captured luxury yacht off the Somalian coast. Eight other people were reportedly wounded and eight more captured in the operation, which took place in the Garaad district of Northern Somalia. “I could see clouds of smoke as six helicopters were bombing the pirates. The pirates were also firing anti-aircraft machine guns in reaction. I cannot tell the exact casualties,” Mohamed Ibrahim, an eyewitness, said. The district commissioner of Garaad described how the helicopters landed and troops jumped out to grab members of a group of 14 pirates who had just come ashore. “Local residents came out to the see the helicopters on the ground. The helicopters took off and fired rockets on the vehicles and the residents there, killing five local people,” Commissioner Abdiaziz Olu-Yusuf Mohamed said. French officials said that the operation was conducted with minimal use of force for fear of causing collateral damage. The pirates, part of a group known as “the Somali Marines”, seized the Le Ponant yacht last Friday in the Gulf of Aden. Onboard were 30 crew members, 22 of them French. They sailed 32-cabin, three-masted vessel to Puntland, a breakaway northern region of Somalia. Francois Fillon, the Prime Minister, deployed France’s elite counter-terrorism and hostage rescue unit to tracked the ship using helicopters and a naval vessel, but said authorities would not resort to force. After protracted negotiations between the ship owner and the pirates, all 30 crew members were eventually released this morning. In a statement, Sarkozy expressed “his deep gratitude to the French army forces and all the state services who helped bring about a quick end, without incident, to this hostage taking." The French authorities maintain that soldiers simply arrested six pirates and flown them to a navy ship. Jean-Louis Georgelin, chief of the armed forces, said a Gazelle helicopter with a sniper on board had fired at a vehicle containing a pirate but that “no shots were fired directly at the pirates.” “The shot from the first Gazelle was enough to stop the vehicle and get out the pirates, who gave themselves up without too much difficulty,” he said. Valerie Garrec, whose 20-year-old son Thibaut was among the hostages, praised Sarkozy’s handling of the crisis after receiving a call from the president’s office announcing the good news around midday today. “They said they were free and safe and we don’t know anything more. Now I am waiting to speak to my son by phone,” Ms Garrec said from her home in Brittany, northern France. Bernard Kouchner, the Foreign Minister, said preparations were being made to return the freed hostages to France as soon as possible. The hostages were apparently being held by the “Somali Marines,” described as the most powerful gang of pirates operating off the country’s coast. Mr Kouchner on Friday urged the international community to take action to fight piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the Somali coast and said talks were underway at the United Nations on the issue. web page

^The Ethiopian influence will eventually wane,but would the Somalis make peace or revert back to violence. The underlying problem would still remain. Like always it seems there might not be plan to bring the country back together. It is actually easier to dislodge Ethios than it is to have Somalis settle diffirences peacefully.

Originally posted by somalipride: They have gotten several signatures from the leader of the central government President Abdullahi Yusuf in support of this project. Is the parlaiment suppose to approve or can the president can arbitrarily sign off on anything. And there is such obvious conflict of interests. Duke...How would the revenues be split between the TFG, Pland, and those drilling the oil percentage wise.

^He might have miscalculated, but there will always be those that will do his bidding for him even his army were to withdraw. Geeljire...It is bluntly direct insult not just to his puppets but all Somalis most whom watched as Xamer was blown to bits.He knows with complete certainty his words will not arouse any passions in the average Somali.

Wouldn't this be xoolo Qaran, and doesn't Puntland fall under the TFG jurisdiction, hence subject to its law when it comes to oil exploration. How could a province within Somalia make dealings with foriegn companies without getting pleasings from the central goverment?

Originally posted by Abu_Geeljire: Compulsive Liar Maybe so, but he is right on the money as it regards to his views about Somalis An oversupply of national sentiment is not the problem in Somalia. The problem in Somalia is a lack of it . The problem in Somalia is an oversupply of sub-sub-clannish attitude It is pathetic how easy we made it for Ethiopains.
