GALDOGOB, Somalia Dec 31, 2011 (Garowe Online) - A Somali clan in the northern region of Puntland has issued a public statement signed by 21 traditional elders and community leaders blaming Al Shabaab terror group for the killing of an Islamic scholar earlier this month, Radio Garowe reports.

 

 

The public statement was released in Galdogob town, in Puntland's Mudug region, on 30 Dec 2011 and signed by community leaders of ******** (*****) clan, led by Ugas Ali Ugas Mohamed, the chief of elders.

 

The statement contained 9-points, stating that the ******** clan nominated an independent committee to investigate the killing of Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman, who was gunned down in the Puntland port city of Bossaso on 5 Dec 2011.

 

On Friday, Puntland Security Minister Kalif Isse Mudan told a press conference in Bossaso that Puntland security services have arrested seven persons in connection with the killing of Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman.

The public statement sent condolences to the Somali people and thanked everyone who helped and offered their prayers.

 

The statement noted that the Puntland government and the Islamic scholars in Puntland State have separately blamed Al Shabaab terror group for murdering the scholar, Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman.

 

Point 2 states that the ******** clan viewed the decision by the Puntland government and the Islamic scholars to blame Al Shabaab group was “quick judgment” and therefore nominated an independent committee to investigate the crime.

 

Point 6 states: “The ******** clan is confirming to the Somali people and to Muslims worldwide that the unjust and intentional killing of Dr. Ahmed Haji Abdirahman was carried out and organized by Al Shabaab group, particularly the Amniyaat group led by Ahmed Abdi Godane.”

 

The statement continues on to say that the ******** clan has reached a collective decision to not respond in kind to the scholar’s killing, adding that the clan will be satisfied with an Islamic ruling on the case.

 

It is the first time that a Somali clan has publicly blamed Al Shabaab for killing notable persons in Somalia. Puntland government officials blame Al Shabaab for a string of assassinations and bombings in Puntland’s major towns targeting government officials, community leaders, journalists, businesspersons and activists.

I want to know why doesn't somaliland do anything about shabab headquarters in Burco? When Puntland heard that galgala was infiltrated we fought it and defeated it and continue to fight against it where-ever it shows it's ugly face. I find it very hard to believe Somaliland cannot do the same unless of course they are shabab themselves. There is huge chunk of shabab top leaderships that call somaliland home is this by chance? it may be by chance but when you couple the fact that Somaliland doesn't do anything about the Burco terrorist network makes you wonder if they are the same thing.

 

I am off the impression that Shabab homeland is Somaliland or as I like to put it Shababi-land and we need to get tough on this region regarding this and Puntland should bring it on the table at every major somalia conference that somaliland is AL-QAEDA ADMINISTRATION

[Somalia]

The leaders of Al-Shabaab are secessionists.. You gotta give it to them, they are serving their people's interests.

[Dr_Osman]

Somalia, yes I do believe so. It is an Al-Qaeda administration in Hargeisa and it needs to be called it. From now on thats im calling it a bunch of terrorists in suits

[FreshPrince]

Yes, no doubt.

 

Somaliland is created by British and Foreign Powers, and in return with Somaliland's help, Al-Shabab was created to disrupt Somalia, so Somaliland can have a really good case for secession. However, as long as Somaliland is based on the boundaries of the clans of Hergeisa, Burco and Berbera I will vote for their Independence and secession from Somalia, without SSC and Awdal.
