The Demise of the BBC Somali Service

WardheerNews Editorial

October 08, 2007

 

 

Share with me this latest editorial piece written by WDN...

 

An Excerpt of it is: "Providing reliable and impartial programmes have been the mission of the Service. In the process, it has become ingrained in the national psyche. Somalis may have lost their state and remained 16 years without a government with all the deprivations it entailed, but at the end of the day they could always count on listening to the BBC and chewing their Qat, two addictions that provided them a needed break from their daily miseries."...

Thanks Mansa,this is indeed an extra ordinary task taken by Wardheernews, they seem to have teken the Somali media into a new era with no challenge at all . Though I don't agree with their ill informed stand on Somaliland case however, I have to admit and give the credit where its due; they are the best site out there that covered every issues and conflict that confronted Somalis from South Africa to the new dictator Adde Musse.

If every clan-obsessed sector is doing some calaacal, ballyhoo and hoopla against Biibiisii Soomaali, then the organization must be doing something good.

 

When both the zealous clan supporters of the two respective Xabashi puppet leaders in Waqooyi and Bari regimes are both equally criticizing Biibiisii Soomaali in same vitriolic, harsh unfounded criticism, then it is natural to come to the conclusion that Biibiisii must be upholding one of the journalistic integrity's foundation -- neutrality and being objective.

 

Biibiisii sometimes can be Beenbeensii, no doubt, but blatant fabricated lies against that media organization because a certain dislike of the individual that runs the Soomaali section. Yuusuf Garaad aqoontiis -- and not of because of clan lineage, of bribery, of violence, of xoog, of ... -- ayaa gaarsiisay heerkaas, to run Biibiisii, ee wax kale ma gaarsiiniin.

 

I detect this discontent is caused by jealousy, if not the barely obvious disdain [and probably a profound hatred] against him, his personality and his family, because the simple reason he does not belong to their clans and does not propagate or side with their clans' viewpoint.

BBC neutrality has been compromised numerous times lately, that is not a secret or is it?. The latest case .. Egeh from Hargeisa reported that his clan militia conquered LA ..If that was not a pure lie, please explain to the crowd, what was it?

Miskiin-Macruuf, and do u consider the voice and coplaints of the people as an Calaacal and fabricated stories. Keep in mind, Wardheer news is the most genuine unbiased cyber news edoterials. Saaxiib adigoo bahashii faraha kula jira ma fiicna inaad Somalida oo dhan isku wada dartid. BBC waa bogus,biased news channel. And, enough is the interview of legendary Cawke that aired by VOA. Yuusuf Garaad is a tool that serves the interest of his sub-clan and those of Shariif Xassan. Warku waa cadyahay!

Bingo. Hammer on a nail camal aa ugu keentay.

 

Sheekha-Jacayl-ka, Hunguri, and Mansa Munsa....read that quote again. If you guys want a Fox News service that presents your spin of the story.....BBC Somali Service that is not. And as recently reported by WaardheerNews, Jealousy is one of the leading causes of premature deaths.....and obesity....Iska ilaaliya.

 

As MMA pointed out, the more calaacal that comes from diverse entities like SL, PL, and TFG.....that means the BBC Somali Service is on the right track and should do more of the same.

Cajaa'ib it's Aakhurul Zaman where some imatures are supporting BBC, for what! SaySomaliland and Bari communities are against him, doesn't that make it credible with their complain? We know that those two Bari and North comm. are not in good terms. Asxaabta waa Ciid ee beenta iyo indh la'aanta qabiil halaga duceysto.

Be a good listener and separate the facts from fictions.

Kashafa, the gentlemen know what I am talking about that, in fact, they inadvertently proven my point.

 

To some, the phrase "dalka la magac baxay" the Biibiisii Soomaali sometimes uses ayaa wadno xanuun ku ah. What they failed to realize is that this is a BBC-wide policy and nothing to do with who runs Biibiisii Soomaali section.

 

To others, the accusation goes, it did not alalaas for the Xabashi occupation and does expose the injustices and massacring against innocent Soomaali people.

 

And those who support the corrupt leadership in Bari, they cannot tolerate the filthy corruption Biibiisii sometimes uncovers.

 

So when they realized they can do nothing, they resorted taking vituperative and defamatory shots at Yuusuf Garaad, personal attacks aan loogu gamban on some certain websites. It was expected. Nothing new since the accusers being your typical Soomaalis.

 

That is why they initially cheered for the newly re-developed idaacadda Codka Mareykanka [VOA], whom they assumed would be on their competing side. We will see how long they will stick with it and start taking shots whoever junior runs it. It seems, however, already a site did publish a scathing attack some individuals from that service, taking shots that Xareeri guy who is said to be one of the seniors.

 

Biibiisii is here to stay. Unlike the few dibadjooga who can access whatever information they want at their finger tips, Biibiisii malaayiin Soomaaliyeed oo magaalooyin, degmooyin, tuulooyin iyo xirooyin qaxooti ku jiro ayaa ku xiran who have no other informational source than that little hourly radio.

 

War badan wax ma taree, Biibiisii iyo idaacadda Codka Mareykanka labadoodaba Soomaali malaha, oo dan shisheeye ayee u adeegtaa oo dano kale ka wato; if they only knew that grand scheme laga leeyahay by kuwaas sameystay idaacaddaas, the accusers would not dwell those petty, unfounded accusations because one does not support one's clan.
