Udun
I dont understand its either you really believe what your say which will lower your status or your spewing this garbage because of your hatred for Somaliland,
Somaliland is a secular democratic administration that is begging for recognition and Alshabab is striving for the establishment of a new world order (Khalifah governance).
These two entities are at logger heads with eachother, I mean they totally oppose eachother. What I mean is they cannot live side by side with each other.
An intelligent man never makes blank statements such as yours without hard evidence, all of your presumptions are speculative; from (1) al shabab are there to help the south to be in turmoil so somaliland can gain recognition, to (2) Dahabshill funds alshabab to block ZAAD.
(1) Didn't you know that the South has been in Turmoil since 1991 without Al shabab ever being there and in fact Al Shabab has created some form of stability and once they are strong enough will be in Hargeisa to destroy that secular administration.
(2) Zaad money transfer was banned by the fact that western companies take a share of the money transfer and not because it competes with Dahabshill, because if what you said is true then why is the many other money transfer companies banned as well.
P.S
Theres enough wrong with speculating, but don't try pass those statements as facts, because it will only show your ignorance or hatred
Hussein,
I am giving out obvious facts and those that I have no facts, I have stated that "there were reports", so all of your efforts are based on your defense of Somaliland entity and the activities of Dahabshiil money remittance company.
Let me correct you one thing, Somaliland is not a secular democracy; to the contrary, it is a one-clan based entity that is trying to break-away from the Somali Republic and at the sametime is at war with other non-Isaaq Somalis in Northern Somalia that have rejected the idea of breaking away from Somalia. Lining up Isaaq clansmen and women and asking them to vote for the ever elusive 'recognition' does not make that entity a secular democracy.
It is true that Al-Shabaab brought peace and some form of stability in all areas under its control; however, what cannot be hidden is that all of the leadership of Al-Shabaab was taken over by Somaliland firsters who are using those postions they hold within Al-Shabaab to prolong the war in Somalia and to prevent any Somali central government from taking place in Mogadishu until Somaliland receives the ever elusive recognition.
These are obvious facts whether you like or not:
1. The suicide bombers who attack Somali civilians in Mogadishu daily all hail from Somaliland.
2. The Amiir of Al-Shabaab, Ahmed Abdi Godane, hails from Somaliland.
3. The second in Command of Al-Shabaab, Ibrahim Al-Afghani, hails from Somaliland.
4. The representative of Al-Shabaab in Burao is Sheekh Ali warsame hails from Somaliland and is a close relative of Axmed Mohamed Siilaanyo, the current president of Somaliland.
5. The biggest base of all terrorist activities in Somalia is Burao and Hargeisa, two main cities that are part of the entity that calls itself Somaliland.
6. The Dahabshiil company that finances the terrorist activities in all of Somalia has its headquarters in Hargeisa, Somaliland and its owners hail from Somaliland. They ensure that all of the finance activities of Ahmed Abdi Godane is managed by this company. They also ensure any viable money remittance that can challenge Dahabshiil's money remittance is blocked by Al-Shabaab leaders. This is the main reason why ZAAD services was baaned. The services provided by ZAAD was vast, reliable, and much cheaper than Dahabshiil.
7. The commander of the terrorist activities that was and still taking place in Galgala mountains, Siciid Atam, has his biggest base in Burao, Togdheer and he is financed by Somaliland intelligence.
8. Somaliland's terrorist activities and attacks against the Ayn region (capital Buuhoodle) is proof of the the terrorist nature of this entity that calls itself Somaliland.
9. Somaliland's current foreign minister Mohamed Abdillahi Omar has sent his son to join Al-Shabaab and to support Ahmed Abdi Godane, the leader of Al-Shabaab. The young son of Somaliland's foreign minister who has joined Al-Shabaab was qouted saying "his father encouraged him to support the activities of uncle Ahmed Abdi Godane". Keep in mind the young man did not say his father sent him to support Islam but to support "the activities of uncle Ahmed Abdi Godane".
10. Faisal Ali Waraabe, the leader of the UCID party in Hargeisa, Somaliland, has called for the war in Mogadishu should be increased twofold after he met Somaliland's president Ahmed Mohamed Siilaanyo on February 22, 2011. Here you have one of the leaders of that entity encouraging the war effort led by Ahmed Abdi Godane be increased.
11. The Minister of Religious Affairs in Somaliland, Sheekh Khaliil Cabdillaahi Axmed, regularly visits his son who is a top official within Al-shabaab movement in Southern Somalia and continues the encouragement for the war in Mogadishu to be continued. According to Somali media reports, this SL minister of religious affairs was in Baidoa, Bay region of Somalia visiting his son and was encouraging the war in Somalia be increased in twofold.
12. The president of Somaliland, Ahmed Mohamed Siilaanyo, told a group of Isaaq delegates that he met recently in London, UK that the goal of Ahmed Abdi Godane is to deny the stability of any government in Mogadishu and also to make sure Al-Shabaab never passes beyond Dhuusamareeb.
It is high time for every one to notice the doubleface of the Somaliland entity and the dangerous activities of its leaders.
That is a hypocrisy that I could never get.
