US Department of Justice: Somaliland Raped Minorities

Recommended Posts

Somalia   

I felt it was crucial at this juncture in time to resume my series of the sexual violence against women and children that surrounds the hierarchy of the secessionist region of Somaliland.

 

We have already looked at the following

Somaliland's Female Mutilation "Most Dangerous"

 

http://www.somaliaonline.com/community/showthread.php/60094-Somaliland-s-Female-Mutilation-quot-Most-Dangerous-quot

 

_____________________________________

 

In retribution for the support of Siad Barre, Somalia's last dictatorial leader, the people of the secessionist region known as Somaliland conducted a wide ranging campaign of sexual humiliation against the minority clans who supported the former autocratic figure.

 

Somaliland is relatively more secure than other parts of

the country. There is an administration that functions, but

has not been internationally recognized as a state. However

minority groups such as the
[minority] clans who

16 predominantly reside in Somaliland are subjected to serious

discrimination.

 

These groups do not benefit from any social facilities and

other activities that major clans have access to. They

remain barred from employment.

 

There is no justice system even in Somaliland that protects

the rights of this minority.
The

level of isolation meted out to these people is so grave

that the NGOs and international agencies operating in

Somalia do not have direct contact with them. Over time

these people have become reclusive as a result of

systemically discriminative attitudes towards them.

 

The northern Somaliland region is safe
only
for those people belonging to that

area’s majority clan.

The [minority] clans were routinely raped, expelled from

their homes, kidnapped, tortured and killed.

The 2 above quotes clearly work against the UN Convention on Refugee Status

 

The Contracting States shall apply the provisions of this Convention to refugees without discrimination as to race, religion or country of origin.

 

Article 3. - Non-discrimination

1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory save on grounds of national security or public order.

 

Article 32. - Expulsion

UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees

 

http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/refugees.htm

 

Clearly I am using the Status of Refugees to highlight Somaliland's secession from Somalia in 1991, thus if it wants to be treated like a country, I must make it so.

Side note: Atrocities did indeed happen throughout Somalia especially towards minority clans however, one must pause and think of the continuing assault against minorities in the so-called democratic secessionist state of Somaliland.

 

Why are they intent 21 years later, to kill, rape and torture the helpless?

 

Ladies and gentlemen, this shows the intent by the secessionist region to take out their frustration and anger on minorities.

I'm afraid it isn't.

 

One region has prophesied itself to be the model for Africa, so why is it continuing with these heinous crimes at a systematic level?

Faallo: – Puntland Iyo Beesha G*b**ye Maxaa Kala Haysta???.

 

Ujeedada Puntland Ay Ka Leedahay Weerarka Beesha G*b**ye.

 

Dowlada puntland oo sanadihii ,bilihii,asbuucyadii iyo maalmihii u

danbeeyey dhex dhexaadin aan xaqiiqada ku salaysnayn ka dhex waday

beelaha g/bari ee isku dhamaaday ayaa iska dhigaysa inay wax

hagaajinayso iyadoo mid hoosta ku wadata,taas oo macnehedu yahay inay

sii huri nayso dhibaatada beelaha g/bari, waayo g/bari ama puntland

beelaha degaa waa in is taqaan iyo in wada dhalatay ama is dhashay

dhibaaatooyinka dhx yaallaa maxay dowladihii hore uu dh mari wayday

waa su’aal is waydiin mudan qofkasta oo caqli lehna uu garan karo.

 

Sida la ogyahay umadaha gabooye waa umadii loogu yimid dhulka somalia

oo dhan waxaana taas qiraya taariikhyahanada somaliyeed ama kuwa

caalamkaba, waxay ka mid ahaayeen saldanadii qaddaafi ee libya waxay

kaloo taariikh ahaan ahaayeen dadkii waqtiyo hore talada dalka la

waydiin jiray , hase yeeshee is bedel aan wali laga daba tagin ayaa

dhacay iyadoona beelaha kale ee somalidu ay raadiyeen inay gabooye

cagta hoosteeda galiyaan taasi waa ay hagaagi la’dahay illaa maanta

waxaana jira dhaq dhaqaaq baaxad leh oo beelaha gabooye ay ku soo

kabanayaan oo caalamka ka socda.

 

Gabooye in somalia iyaga loogu yimi waxaa kuu xaqiijinaysa waxay

deegaan ku yihiin 18-ka gobol ee dalkan somalia magaalo kasta oo aad

tagto waa habeenkii xalay ahaa oo tagay in laga waayo beelaha gab**ye

waxaana taasi oo aan been ahayn balse xaqiiqada ku salaysan.

Hadaba dowlada puntland maxay tahay sababta ay u weerartay beelaha

gabooye ee gobolka bari , ma waxay doonaysaa inay ku darto beelaha ay

weerarka ku tahay,ma waxay doonaysaa inay dhagar qabayaal ka dhigto

bacdamaa ay yihiin beesha kaliya ee ka nadiifsan dhibaatada dhex taala

somalia, mise waxay doonaysaa inay dhaqaale ka samayso???

 

Su’aalahaan ayaa waxaa looga jawaabi karaa , puntland gabooye waxay ka

damacsantahay inay ka dhigto dhagar qabayaal, oo ay yeeshaan kuwo

dadka laaya kuwo dadka qarxiya iyo kuwo dhibaatada ka shaqeeya si ay

miisaan ahaan ula mid noqdaan beelaha kale ee soomalida marka laga

hadlayo beelaha gabooye ee degen puntland.

 

Maxay Puntland Kaga Duwantahay Somaliland Marka Laga Hadlayo

Qaabka Ay Ula Dhaqmaan Somalidu Beelaha G*b**ye.

 

Iyadoo dhaqanka somalidu kula dhaqmaan beelaha gabooye uu kala duwan

yahay isla markaana laga hor istaagay inay talada dalka iyo xasilinta

dalka qayb ka ahaadaan ayaa waxaa muuqatta in la tabay maqnaanshaha

beelaha gabooye ay ka maqan yihiin saaxafad siyaasadda somalia isla

markaana haddii ay siyaasadda kaalin lixaad leh ku lahaan lahaayeen

sidii dowladihii hore uu ay macquul tahay in dalku hagaago bacdamaa ay

yihiin dadkii dalka logu yimi.

 

Taariikh badan inagoon faaqidin balse taariikhdu aysan qarsoonayn

puntland iyo somaliland farqi weyn ayaa u dhexeeya marka laga hadlayo

ka qayb galinta siyaasadda beelaha gab**ye, inkastoo beesha **** ee

somaliland ay laftoodu dhibaateeyaan beelaha gabooye balse sanadihii

udanbeeyey uu arintaasi is bedel ka muuqanayay.

 

Siilaanyo oo ah madaxweynaha somaliland dhowaan ayuu magcaabay la

taliyaha madaxtooyada somaliland e beelaha gab**ye si wax looga bedelo

nolosha dadkaasi talada somali land-na ay wa ugu yeeshaan taasi oo si

weyn u dhiiri galinaysa in somali land ay hesho madax banaanida ay

raadinayso bacdamaa ay arin dimuqraadiyada ku salaysan ay fulisay

waxaana arintaasi islamarkiiba taageeray beesha caalamka.

 

Puntland dhankeeda iska daa inay xubin u magcowdee waxayba biwloday

inay guryohooda ugu dhacdo oo ay weeraro ugu gaysato , iyadoona xalay

ciidanka afdalow ay soo xidh xidheen dhalinyaro iyo culimo caan ka ah

bosaso oo beesha gabooye ka tirsan.

 

C/laahi Aadan dhuguf oo ah nin dhalinyaro ah isla markaana arday ah

kana shaqeeya shaqada dareewalnimada ayaa isagoo ku sugan masjid ku

yaalla goobtii lagu dilay Cismaan Axmed Cismaan (Qarawo) ay garabka ka

haleeshay xabad kamid ah xabadihii ay soo rideen ragii dilkaasi

gaystay iyagoo isla markiina meesha ka carary.

 

Wax yar ka dib waxaa weerar caddaan ah oo aan geedna loogu soo gaban

soo qaaday afdalow iyadoo ciidankiisu ay jirdil u gaysteen c/laahi

aadan dhuguf oo dhaawac ahaa iyo dhalinyaro kale oo ku qayilaysay

dilku meesha uu ka dhacay meel ka ag dhow waxaana ciidanka afdalow ay

kaxaysteen dad gaadhaya ilaa 20-qof oo ratid ah kana mid ah beesha

gabooye.

 

Hadal hayna bosaso ee dilka Cismaan Axmed Cismaan (Qarawo) ayaa waxaa

ay sheegaysaa in lagu tuhunsanyahay beesha cali saleebaan bacdamaa

cali saleebaan iyo ugaadh salebaan oo uu Cismaan Axmed Cismaan

(Qarawo) ka dhashay colaadi ay dhex taallo taasi oo noqon karta arin

loo qaateen ah bacdamaa aanooyinkii ay bateen.

 

C/raxmaan Yaasiin Jamac oo ka mid ah culimada bosaso si weyna looga

yaqaano isla markaana tafsiirka qur’aanka ka mariya mid ka mid ah

masaajida bosaso ayaa sidoo kale afdalow iyo ciidan uu horkacayo ay ku

weerareen gurgiisa oo ku yaalla xaafadda laanta hawada xilli danbe oo

ku beegnayd 02:30am ee danbe iyagoona baadhay dhamaanba gurigiisa isla

markaana si un dhibaato ugu gaystay soona kaxaystay iyagoon u caddayn

sababta loo xidhayo waxaana taasi uu uga dhowaanayaa in gab**ye uu

yahay dad sidii la doono laga yeeli karo balse taasi laysaga daba iman

doono.

 

C/laahi Aadan dhuguf ayaa isagana isagoo dhaawac ah oo dhiigu qubanayo

la geeyay saldhiga badhtamaha ee bosaso isagoona afdalow markuu intaas

fuliyay lugaha isa saartay oo sheegay in baaadhitaan lagu samayn

doono.

 

Waxaa kaloo jira in 18-qof oo kale oo beesha ka tirsan oo ay ka mid

yihiin ninka dhaawacan ee ardayga ah iyo shiikh craxmaan ay iyaguna ku

xidhanyihiin saldhiga bosaso iyadoona ilaa iyo hada aaan wax

baadhitaan ah lagu samayn balse sidii adhi lasoo xidhay oo kale ay

xerada saldhiga badhtamaha ku jiraan.

 

Odayaasha beelaha gab**ye ee bosaso ayaa maanta ku guulaystay inay

C/laahi Aadan dhuguf oo dhaawac ah ula cararaan dhakhtarka bosaso si

loo dabiibo xaaaladdiia caafimaadna loo soo cesho waxayna sheegeen

inaysan raalli ka ahayn kana ahaan doonin sida loo dhibaateeyey

beelaha gabooye oo aan waxba iyagu galabsan arintana si weyn u

dareemay bacdamaa aysan ahayd dad aan dhibaatada ka shaqayn balse

danohooda kale ku mashquulsan inta badan.

 

Mowqifka Odayaasha Beelaha Gab**ye Ee Dhac dadan.

 

odayaasha beelaha gabooye oo aan kala hadhin ayaa hal meel uga soo

wada jeestay dhacdadan iyagoona tilmaamay inay la gudhin doonaan

afdalow rabitaanka uu ku doonayo inuu ku dhibaateeyo , waxay kaloo

sheegeen in mowqif ahaan ay raali k ayihiin in cid kasta oo beelaha

gabooye ka mid ah haddii looga shakiyo waxyaalo amniga dhibaato ku ah

in baadhitaaan lagu sameeyo si loo ogaado xaqiiqada jirta.

 

Waxayse odayaashu sheegeen in aysan raalli ka ahayn weererka qaawan ee

aan geedna loogu soo gabban ee dowlada puntland ay beesha gabooye ku

soo qaaday ayna ka qaadan doonaan tallaabada kala gudboon arrintaasi,

waxay kaloo odayaashu hadalkooda ku soo gaba gabeeyeen in beelaha

gabooye ay tahay beel (Colaadna Taqaana , Nabadna Taqaanna)

Si kastab ha ahaatee shacabka kala duwan ee bosaso ku nool ayaa

iyaguna si weyn ugu dhaliilay Puntland arrintaan isla markaana sheegay

in ay puntland ku kacday tallaabo xuquuqda aadamiga ka dhan ah ayna

kula talinayaan inay ka firsadaan dhibaataynta beelaha gab**ye.

First of all, you aren't allowed to use clan names on this website. I didn't, so you should not.

 

Second.

 

Your news source is Galgala News which is vehemtly anti-Puntland.

 

The reason it is anti-Puntland is due to Puntland's Security Forces conducting operations against militants in the Galgala Mountains.

 

BBC: Puntland forces attack al-Shabab in Somali mountains

Renewed Fighting in Galgala Mountains

Funny enough, Somaliland has been providing support for this man who has confessed his support for Al-Shabaab, a militant group that has been conducting mass killings in Mogadishu and Somalia.

 

This also highlights Somaliland's adamant hope for Somalia's failure and renews chaos.

 

Could Al-Shabaab gain from Somaliland's booming arms business?

PIS: Puntland’s Sub-clan terror Unit Op-Ed:Puntland´s False-Flag Terrorism Could Undermine Its Stability

 

 

 

As we approach the 10th anniversary of those horrific terrorist attacks on America, America’s war on terror has taken many faces and has been waged in many corners around the globe under different pretext; and worse used entirely for different purposes whether it be to defend clan interests or settle territorial disputes. The terrorist card has become a national and international metal that could be bent to serve powerful people in office to subjugate and isolate those who they perceive to be enemies of the state. Many Americans might be surprised how a noble idea to defend self and country here and abroad have spiraled into a perpetual hegemonic conquest by rogue governments against innocent civilians.

 

The deadly terrorist game is unfortunately weaved into the political quagmire of modern Somali politics. While southern Somalia has the well-entrenched terrorist group Alshabaab that are armed to the teeth, it is the more peaceful North that has taken the terrorist card to new heights. A self-perpetuated killing spree spearheaded by notorious thugs known as the Puntland Intelligence Service (PIS) have staged clannish killings to justify an all out war against ‘rival sub-clan’ in high dense populated areas of Puntland. The semi-autonomous region of Puntland, once a prosperous and peaceful region, is semi-arid land deprived of any economic viability except human potential. Its only income streams came from business taxation, airports, and the economic hub of the state-the port. It is no wonder America’s war on terror was viewed in this part of the world as another means of diversifying its economic portfolio along with the alleged piracy operations. With meager resources to pay for security personnel, army, and police it was a dream-come-true for the Puntland administration to get funding for a well-trained and fed sub-clan militia to find real terrorists. Eventually, they become to embody an entity they wished to destroy; terrorists.

 

Though Puntland is composed of many sub-clans, PIS is exclusively composed of one sub-clan. This overrepresentation inevitably caused them to defend the aspirations, claims, and territorial lands of that constituency. They are the main force deployed by Puntland to haunt minorities, southerners, and mingle in sub-clan territorial disputes. This CIA-funded group has waged avoidable wars to get more funding from Washington, not surprising, against ‘rival sub-clans.’ The forceful capture of hapless southerners is the cornerstone of these thugs, and lately with Washington tightening its vault, saw the extension of these merciless tactics to peaceful “rival sub-clans.” With not judicial system, and the few that are set up mainly to retract the rulings of the day before, these ruthless thugs act with impunity. At desperate times, and to keep the proverbial wheel rolling, they have become provocateurs and instigators of clannish wars between brotherly sub-clans in major urban areas that coexisted for centuries. After dismal successes in Bari, they moved to Mudug.

 

After year and some of instigating clannish warfare in Mudug, they have become too impatient for their own devices to materialize. After the PIS killed a well-known peace-maker, Hassan Waloore, the family of the man without any assistance from the state captured two of the three hit men. Through these men, the family came to know of the funds and the source of the endless killings that have become too familiar in Puntland. It was clear through these men that they worked and collected from the PIS office in Galkacyo. After all, one would need a well-oiled, organized, and systematic infrastructure to carry out such heinous acts. What would hapless and stateless person in Garsoor gain from killing former political and prominent individuals? The PIS and the Puntland state are one and the same. The state apparatus approves and uses the services of this junta freely. They wage coordinated attacks, share intelligence, and in Garsoor have combined forces to fight against “a rival sub-clan.” You would think the sheer audacity of such attacks against a ‘rival sub-clan’ while using all the resources of the state would shame these state-sponsored thugs but their plan was even more deadly. This form of collective punishment against sub-clans is not new to these thugs. They have used these same tactics against another ‘rival clan’ in Sanaag when they cut all food supplies and convoys from entering or exiting the area. In the Garsoor region, these hateful thugs have gone one step further by restoring to medical terrorism.

 

Medical Terrorism

 

The PIS thugs denied bystanders and civilians the medical attention they needed the most. As if using excessive power and deadly bombardment of residential areas with heavy artillery, Anti-aircraft guns, tikniko, and tangs was not enough; they barred (through closure or otherwise) the injured from the two hospitals in Galkacyo. The two main hospitals in Galkacyo Mudug General Hospital (MGH) and Galkacyo Medical Center (GMC) were specifically closed to Garsoor residents while the PIS, Puntland army, and sub-clan militias that shelled residential areas miraculously got medical treatment. The only private hospital in Garsoor, Al-Xayaat, was not only specifically targeted by the PIS thugs but all of its equipment confiscated, looted, and taken by them. This is one awkward way of fighting terrorism.

 

The people of Garsoor faced this medical discrimination in their supposedly ‘home country’ which they have undoubtedly both defended with their blood in the past and contributed mightily to its economic growth. They pay taxes and provide jobs to local residents. Many of the damaged properties were well fortified and built architectural designs that provided amenities rarely found in other parts of Somalia. As this calamity fall on the people of Garsoor, it was the ‘perceived enemy’ which welcomed and hosted the Garsoor community. The South Hospital of Galmudug provided temporary refuge to their brothers who were under siege by the combined forces of the PIS and the Puntland army. Their hospitable generosity was not only medical but also housing for the many families and children due to the merciless bombardment. A demonstration of bravery was Caalin’s presidential and calculated BBC interviews where he called Puntland authorities to stop the ‘sub-clan warfare’ and killing innocent civilians. Contrast this with the criminal Faroole who as always clannish by nature and un-presidential as usual promised more bloodshed and destruction.

 

The Holland MSF agency has strong ties with the three hospitals in Galkacyo, including the one in Galmudug. The PIS must have been infuriated when they heard of the medical attention given to the ‘rival sub-clan.’ They worked tirelessly to end such an outreach. It was days later that this wish was granted when all injured individuals no matter how critical were asked to evacuate the hospital immediately due to eminent threats. The injured were flown to Nairobi, Mogadishu, and Mudug General Hospital-Galdogob. This might sound surreal to many people around the world who would be surprised by such hatred and skewed justices, but more surprisingly the PIS is defending a sub-clan that controls more than 50% of the Puntland parliament, hold 80% of all government positions, and own about 70% of all businesses. For instance in the Mudug administration, although the ******** populate the state as much as the Mudug **********, they get less than 5% of all allocated positions in the region. Indeed, as these PIS thugs found out recently, ******** is only a minority in paper.

 

I believe it was the great sheikh Cumar Faaruuq who said that Somalia did not seep into self-destruction because of clan, but injustice. It is injustice first that fuels insurgents; it is exclusionary politics that puts people in different camps to start riots and revolts. Indeed, our semi-arid region has been on the one thousand proverbial Chinese miles to catastrophe and has crossed the half-way mark.

Why do you keep using clan names????????

 

Also, how about you give me reputable sources like mine? I am not asking for much here.

This thread is about the sexual violence your secessionist region perpetrates on the minority.

 

Please, stay on point and give me good sources.
