Emperor Posted July 10, 2007 ^Thanks Duke, these pictures are historic and should be presented, preferably on Somalia's future National Museum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emperor Posted July 10, 2007 The most comprehensive humanitarian mission of this era, sadly ended in failure thanks to the USC thugs that wanted to keep the rape, mass murder and the looting of the innocent in the regions of Bay, Bakool and Shabelle… Watch the repots from different international news agencies, 36 minute long coverage of the military humanitarian operation in Somalia.

Emperor Posted July 11, 2007 A short clip from Black Hawk Down, supposedly in Biadoa where despaired and starving locals fight for the relief food and are being short at and killed to stop them, "the property of the notorious gang militia...." :mad: :mad: Somalia Starvation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AYOUB Posted July 11, 2007 Duke and Emperor How many members of the TFG faction are directly responsible for the Bay catastrophe of the early 90's? How can you claim TFG is hunting the perpetrators when the head of the TFG police is none other than Col. Qaybdiid who was one of Gen. Aideed's most trusted henchmen? What about Gen. Morgan? You've repeatedly posted photos of others while ignoring the butcher who part in death and destruction from Hargeisa in the 80's, Baidoa in 90's and Mogadishu today. Even the Hiiraale you're accusing is a "Mudane" member of TFG parliament. This silly mixture of photos, jokes, laughter and opportunistic use that disaster to score political points is deplorable. If anything, this thread shows nothing has been learned from past, does it not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emperor Posted July 11, 2007 ^Like any lander all you need to highlight is the Somaliland issue, there was more serious and disasterious crimes than that, that's a fact, get that though you skull and live with it... Morgan had nothing to do with Boidoa, never controlled that city not even passed throught it in the long Somali civil war, he only visited there in 2001/2002 during Arta and it was controlled by Shaargaduud at the time. Bring your proof, present any concrete evidence otherwise shut it up, please we are not discussing the issue of SL here, keep it a low profile... As for Qaybdiid and the TFG comment, I have answered many similar questions in this thread, you may re-browse and have a look at them. Very simple really.

Fiqikhayre Posted July 11, 2007 Very tragic indeed. Some of us really need to do some soulsearching. Shame on the belittlers of this tragic and inhumanitarian clear and slow genocide perpertrated by Aydids late USC under the present eye of Hassan Dahir Aweys who was there holding court with the "amazing and never-tiring and fresh Aydid" and ofcourse the brutal SNF militias who excel in exterminating the weak and unarmed population of those regions. Shame on them all for this vicious crimes against all HUMANITY! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiinfaniin Posted July 11, 2007 ^^Easy with your sweeping statements adeer, unless of course you have something to back up with the alleged collaboration between Aweys and Aydiid in that tragic event of Bay region! That the men belong to the same sub-clan is a fact, but as far as I know they have never been political allies. Aweys was a high-ranking member of Al-Itihad Org, an armed Islamist group whose shabaabs fought Aydiid’s USC in both Jubbooyinka and Gedo regions.
