That's how he paid for his wedding. Small guy, I wonder how he fit the bill for an Elephant hunter though. Confused

Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing , Abdiwahab you tricked me. You got me good. For a while I thought you were a semi-logical poster who you could rationalize with, but boy was I wrong. Also, I didn't know that you were a "Hit and run" poster, who will throw darts, and then cut and run when hard evidence laced rebuttles are made. From this point on, I won't even attempt to engage in any mature level headed discussions with you.

I heard it was because of his involvement in this trade that he wasn't allowed to stay in Kenya.

LuqGanane,

All I know is your Siyaad was forced to leave quickly after failing to recapture Xamar even with the support of the Kenyan government.

Degodiye are very influential in Kenya. The Ogaden at the time were also ProSPM.

AW, forget about wildlife...your people dug up dirt in Mogadishu.


lets see:

1) Dead Italians
2) comminications cables
3) Cober phone comminactions
4) entire Jamhuuriyada people barried before 1910
5) ...and your own man...Mr. Caydiid compound barrier.


Your people are in search of dead bones mister....hence you are from a tribe that have no respect for the dead, but are in search of dead-bone-treasure
