Medina-Mogadishu

Postby Somaliweyn » Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:42 pm

The best example of that backlash is already happening in Medina, a neighborhood a few miles from the center of Mogadishu. Just past the airport, it is a place of sandy streets and once beautiful homes now chewed up by gunfire and mold.

Shabab fighters, in their trademark green jumpsuits and checkered scarves, used to control parts of Medina. But in the last year or so the neighborhood, dominated by a single clan, banded together to drive them out.

Young men joined the local militia. Old men raised money for guns. Women and girls hauled ice, rice and milk to the front lines and braved gunfire to evacuate the casualties.

“We hate the Shabab,” said one mother, Amina Abdullahi Mohamed. “They misled our youth.”

Medina is now one of Mogadishu’s safest areas, and while still not particularly safe, an unmistakable beat of life has returned.

There has not been a suicide attack for months. The markets are packed, protected by baby-faced militiamen in polo shirts and Kalashnikov rifles over their shoulders. Beat-up old minibuses cruise the streets, and there is even something close to traffic. A tight clan network keeps a watchful eye and last month, a teacher of the Koran recruiting children for the Shabab was promptly arrested.

Medina is a picture of Somalia’s past and possibly its looming future. Clan militias carved this country into fiefs in the 1990s, which lasted until 2006, when an Islamist alliance, which included the Shabab, took over and held most of Somalia relatively peacefully. The Ethiopian military then invaded, sparking an intense guerrilla war, with the Shabab spearheading the resistance.

Somaliweyne,

After the infamous Karaan Fiasco that resulted in the unfortunate death of Eng. Caddow, Haji Muse Sudi and his Daud Subclan were smart enough to get back to their den and successfully defended it.

Call him what you may, but at the end of the day, the Haji stands for the beesha :up:

Muuse Suudi fleed to Uganda last I knew, it was only a while ago that he finally returned to Xamer. You and I both know that if Muuse Suudi goes outside Medina he`s as good as dead man.

Muse Sudi went to Uganda and came back only a while ago? That's a news to me, brah :lol:

Why would you need to step out of your secure zone, especially in today's Xamar? Medina is inhabited by 100% Wacbudhan. Haji Muse Sudi is smart for defending the place and staying with his people :up:

Was it Uganda or Congo? come to think of it, it might have been Malaysia. Nevertheless he fled and he only came back when dowlada entered Xamer, so much for him protecting anyone but himself uh :down:


Anyway I`m confused, I thought Muuse Suudi was from Kaaran not Medina? didnt he use to controll Karaan?

The guy is a stand-up comedian waa qosol socdo.

It was Malaysia and only because his own Daud people fought against him and sided wit the ICU in summer 2006. He came back once the ICU were dislodged from power.

About Karaan, Haji Muse Sudi gained control of Karaan when he defeated Ali Mahdi in the mid-90s. But Medina is were Sudi became legendary and Medina is home to him.
