Somaliland in Chaos: Somalia’s Most Unsafe Spot

[ Posted On: 2008-05-07 ]

A while back, a plagiarist masqueraded as journalist, named Abdulazez al Motairi, widely and duly disdained in Somalia as dictator Riyale's lackey and high traitor, pretended in a series of falsified reports and pseudo-articles that everything is wonderful and perfect in collapsing Somaliland, a breakaway illegal pseudo-state in NW Somalia.

To believe the comical titles of his incomprehensive and erratic compilations, the unrecognized dictatorial realm 'Somaliland' led the States in terms of anti-terrorist legislation, rivaled with Switzerland in terms of internationally important meetings, and was accepted as 'fact' by the entire world – although the entire world never bothered to consider recognizing Riyale's Mafia of Abyssinian puppets.

Through the burlesque expressions of the Somali Nasreddin Hodja, also known as Hargeysa's Baron Munchausen, one gets the most unreal description of what happens today in the pseudo-state of Somaliland that has been an Abyssinian fabrication due to the Amhara and Tigray hysterical hatred and Anti-Somali odium.

In fact, only an extreme minority of Somalis would ever opt for servility toward the Abyssinian hereditary enemy, instead of solving any sort of dispute with other compatriots, the Somalis of the Northeast, the Somalis of the South or the Ogadeni Somalis.

In reality, the entire Somali nation is enthralled in the perspective of pacification, reunification, progress and prosperity. Few Mafias, the Abyssinian involvement, global financial interests, and miscommunication among pro-unitary Somalis are the four causes of the long duration of the Somali Civil War.

The enthusiasm of the NW Somalis for the perspective of reunification has shaken tyrant Riyale's regime from its foundations. Instead of the ideal lies of Abdulazez al Motairi – Munchausen, the down-to-earth reality in Somaliland is that the regime has already been taken in the Maelstrom of its paranoiac and tyrannical decisions, and is about to collapse.

The disintegration of Somaliland will contribute to Somalia's reunification and to the definite destruction of the Abyssinian colonial state, which is hated by more than 82% of its oppressed and terrorized populations.

Chaos in Somaliland according to the top Somaliland portal

Somalilandtimes.net has been for several years Somaliland's most authoritative sources of information on the web. At this very moment, it reflects the situation that reigns these last days in Hargeysa; it's what the French call 'fin de règne' – end of reign.

It takes a severe psychiatric disorder not to admit this situation; to keep international readership better updated about the most recent events in the Horn of Africa region, I will reproduce one of the recent main editorials published in the Somalilandtimes.net that sheds light on the daily demonstrations against tyrant Riyale that devastate the pseudo-state's capital, as the patriotic Somalis of the Northwest do not intend to tolerate the political existence and the physical survival of the puppet butcher and his few thugs.

Heroic, noble and patriotic, gallant and integral, the Somalis of any tribal origin are determined to wash in their blood the Riyale regime of national shame. Due to their determination, chaos will prevail in Hargeysa until the Red Sea Hitler is drowned in the blood of innocent Somalis who are devoted to the defense of their noble nation – that developed the oldest civilization on the Indian Ocean's shores. The days of Riyale are numbered.

2 Killed And Scores Injured in Hargeysa Demonstrations

Hargeysa, Somaliland, 3 May 2008 (SL Times) - Two people were killed in last Sunday's street demonstrations which rocked the capital, Hargeysa, and virtually brought the city centre and traffic to a halt for more than an hour. Angry crowds of youth from Ahmed Dagah district in Hargeysa fought full street pitch battles with local police and special riot police brought in to quash the demonstration and to disperse the angry crowds from the streets.

Things turned ugly when some protestors overpowered one policeman from his rifle and began to fireback at the security forces who where according to some reports firing live rounds at and above the heads of protestors some of whom were pelting the police with stones and sling shots.

One of the dead was Farhan Ismail Jama, a youth under his twenties was hit in the head with a fatal shot and died on the spot. A second unidentified man in his mid twenties lay dead 100 metres from the spot Farhan was shot. Later in the day, hospital staff at Hargeysa general hospital confirmed that more than 10 people received medical attention for non-critical gun shot wounds, mostly, these were men in their youth and half a dozen policemen were also treated at the hospital for minor stone related injuries thrown at them by the demonstrating youth.

Last Sunday's unrest was sparked by angry students and youth from Ahmed Dagah district, in Hargeysa, began demonstrating outside their district's municipal branch offices to voice their anger at local city authority's proposals to carve out of Ahmed Dagah district new municipal wards which grouped together will form an additional new Hargeysa district which is to carry the name 'Sheikh Umar Yusuf' district.

Start of mayhem

The youth began to rampage Ahmed Dagah municipal district branch offices attacking local municipal staff and guards. The local authority guards and police from Iftin police station tried to contain the angry crowds, which by now numbered over 300 people, but were overwhelmed and ran for cover to save themselves.

The demonstrators began to make their way from Ahmed Dagah neighbourhood towards town centre. By the time the demonstrators reached the main bridge linking north and south sections of the capital, large number of reinforced police and number of contingencies of police in full riot gear were waiting nearby to disperse the demonstrators.

For more than an hour, police and demonstrators battled it out and quickly the clash spread to main centre of town. Barrage of gunfire could be heard coming from centre of town and the smouldering smoke of car tyres set on fire by marauding youth could be seen burning from afar.

The angry crowds were met and spoken to by government ministers and traditional leaders who eventually convinced them to stop all violence and unrest and informed the protestors that the local city authority's decision to create new districts out of Ahmed Dagah neighbourhood has been quashed by the ministry of Interior and that without their consent and approval, plans to rename and divide Ahmed Dagah district will not go ahead. Ministers that could be seen most prominent amidst the angry crowds was the Air & Transport minister, Mr Ali Waranade, who was using a loud handheld microphone speaker to address the crowds and the stone throwing youth to calm down and speak to him and their traditional leaders about their grievances in a peaceful manner.

During the day, the minister of interior, Mr Abdillahi Ismail (Iro), in a BBC world service Somali radio interview, the minister distanced himself and the government from having anything to do with the local authority's decision to form new districts and rename parts of Ahmed Dagah district and said that 'the local authority did not have the legal jurisdiction to create or rename new districts and municipal wards and that only the council of ministers (cabinet) have the power to recommend such decisions which needs parliament's endorsement to become law'.
