Che -Guevara Posted August 21, 2010 Is it true the new "leader" of the Somali region has own Janjaweed-like militia? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted August 21, 2010 Che, Unfortunately, that is true. They are called "Liyuu Police" in Amharic which means New Police. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted August 21, 2010 ^Yeah, a friend was telling me there are nasty bunch, worse than Woyanes.What came of Daud? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted August 21, 2010 They are actually being dealt with. They are good at terrorizing civilians but when it comes to fighting the ONLF, they can't really handle that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted August 21, 2010 ^Is there clan dimension to their existence or are they diverse criminals on payroll? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted August 21, 2010 What Abdi Ileey, the current so called Somali region president, did is he created the "Liyuu Police" for specific districts in the region and he selected them according to they clans and sub clans. The Liyuu police in Dhagax-Buur are strictly from that area, the Liyuu Police in Godey are also from Godey and so on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kamaavi Posted August 21, 2010 Lol@ this thread. War Melez doqonsanaa ,,,, Originally posted by The Zack: They are called "Liyuu Police" in Amharic which means New Police. Liyuu Police = Different Police. It means semi army troops. They are neither police nor army troops! Addis police = New police, Zack your Ahmaric is degenerating. Fix it up!

The Zack Posted August 21, 2010 ^Ferguson LOOOL Did they change it again? Darn, I hate that language, it keeps getting changed. On a serious note, I stand corrected, after all I never admired that language. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kamaavi Posted August 21, 2010 Lol@ It keeps getting changed. It's not your fault. Most Ogadēn news portals put in same way you said. I say blame on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdulladiif Al-Fiqih Posted August 21, 2010 ^^I agree waa intii u waalneed but there is a reason as to why. See, the only Ethiopians we came contact were the soldiers. Of course, knowing that we see them as occupiers and dislike them, they curse us and that's how I came to know these filthy words! That was then, Mengistu's days but even now, not many people speak Ahmaric. I really like this proudness and defiant behavior of Somalis in ******. I am not agaisnt learning any language but not learning their language and culture kept us Somalis thus far. If we would have learnt their language and culture, we would have intermarried them, assimilated and lost our somaliness long time ago. When I went to Addis in 2006, I really did not like what I have seen, somalis from somalia maryying them and loosing their culture, and acting more Ethiopians than Somalis. It was disappointing! mins 1:12> Waa hal jaan qabiilkuye intuu haysto faraqeena Reer hebel miyaad tahay intaa lugu hadaaqaayo Kolba meesha hooska intey labo ka haasaawi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Zack Posted August 21, 2010 ^Roda couldn't have said it better, she is a phenomenal poet. I remember her singing the song "calanyahow bidhaan wacanoow, bilaash maanan kugu heline" in Godey in 1993. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
