VOA secures first interview with Jubbaland President-elect Barre Adan Shire

[Gabbal]

A very compelling and frank interview. In it, the President-elect of Jubbaland State Barre Adan Shire "Barre Hiiraale"

 

-Details how the conference came to be

-Describes who elected him and for how long

-Calls Ahmed Madoobe a Kenyan puppet and says another shady and mysterious foreign led conference took place somewhere else in the city

-Says that conference is harmless nuisance to people of Kismaayo if foreign backing is tackled

-Labels Kenya a problem to the people of southern Somalia and Kismaayo

-Calls for the departure of Kenyan forces from the Somali Republic

-Says he has tremendous supporters and is secure and confident in his post to secure the entire southern regions

 

It is important to understand the context of this interview in that President-elect is inside of Kismaayo, which is jointly held by multiple Somali groups and Kenyan invasion force.

Gabbal is the gedo community fully behind Barre hiiiraale on this and the rest of the Jubbaland community?

[xiinfaniin]

Listen to the purported interview...it is very hilarious for those who are in the know

[Dabrow]

The message is clear. No to kenya. No to satellite states. With Barre as president the state is in good hands.

i though Barre came to visit his wife and is under house arrest? If weak Modaba a minority can declare himself the president why not Mujahiid Barre who was running Kismayo for decade.

[STOIC]

This is getting interesting..president Hassan Jubba got a problem..this will be A test for the president..this people are cousins and someone needs to yield...

[Jacpher]

Who knew Barre even attended the conference let alone being on the candidate list. Mise his islaamo baa president elect ka dhigay

 

Perhaps Santa Claus could have declared President elect too.

[Gabbal]

Dabrow-

 

The President-elect is quite a confident man. We wish him the best and will keep up with his proposal in navigating Jubbaland to a strong and independent place.

[Macallinka]

@Jacphar Wixii ka dhigayba he is there and says he is the president of Jubaland

Rag baa rabba inay masaajidka ku ciyaaraan. If warlords can claim presidency , what is AMISOM for?

 

Kenyans will do in Kismayo what Ugandans do in Mogadishu --this is not will be a clan vs clan

[Jacpher]

Macalinka: Right because Barre got the best record of running the city than others. Think before answering that.

 

Xiin, Barre is gambling on Hassan's presidency. The SFG will be the biggest loser of this comes to an ugly war.

[Macallinka]

^So Madoowe is not a worldlord ?

[Gabbal]

I am more laughing at the hopes of using Kenyan testicles for clan reasons. If Kenya is one's saving grace in Kismaayo, Barre is there in the city with thwm launching a full verbal attack in front of the world.

 

Kenya won't last in Somalia and when it leaves, so too will all her milk carriers.

[Jacpher]

^So will the Burundi and Uganda troops

[Dabrow]

Gabbal:

 

Indeed best luck to the new president.
