[biko]

this is the best opportunity for all kind of haters to croll out of their rat holes:

sinse somaliland want to be recognised as a sovereign state (eventhought credite hasnt been given where its rightly due/SL), i say they should bring them up in front of a judge and do whats right.

whether they are alqa eda or alquraish, if found guilty, they shoudl be thought a lesson that send a message for anyone whos thinking to disturbe the peace and stability of a worrior nation that has been trying to keep body and soul together for the last 15 years!

and never should they be handed over to mad mac's couzins!

Somaliland will do better than hand them over to us. They will kill them. Saving us the trouble.

Long Live Somaliland! Allahu Akbar!

Galol--The champion of freedom and humanitarianism all of a sudden becomes a raving lunatic whenever the subject of Islam is brought up.

What did those 14 sheiks do besides voice their opinion and the opinion of the majority of the somali people? Dont you believe in freedom of speech?

Somaliland can enjoy whatever little "democracy" it has set up for now but in the end the land will come under the shar'iah and tehn you will no place to migrate to when the white man kicks your sorry ass out of his country.

Somaliland and America are going to become fast allies. I don't know if you know that or not. But that is where things are going. Are you aware of that? They have specifically asked the US for recognition and for US troops (from CJTF-HOA) to provide assistance and training in Somaliland.

THAT NEWS IS LIKE, RECEIVING A ANEWS ABOUT A DEATH IN THE FAMILY, BUT WILL SEE!

The Somaliland foreign minister, who's first name I believe is Esther (I had the priveledge of meeting her - she used to be married to Ibrahim Egal and is a VERY smart and articulate woman) has made it clear she wants a very close relationship with America and the West. That was Egal's policy and it has been Kahins as well.

Mad Mac

That is your opinion and mine too. But they knew what they were doing and the possible consequences of it. They broke the law, Treasonable Sedition, was their crime and this carried mandatory death sentence.
They thought just becausre they have long beards they were untoucahble. That is the point. many others have been shot for similair offenses for speaking out against Siyad. these were heroic men who knew what they were doing and expected to be shot but these Wadaads actually believed they were immune.

Yeah I know. Freedom of speech and all that. Still felt mighty nice to see wadaads break-dancing for Siyad Barre after he shot their bosses.

And Hon. Edna Adan Isamil is the Foreign Secretary of somaliland, a Christina in a Muslim country. Shows the deep-seatad tolerance of somalilanders. And america should and i believe will defintely support somaliland. My own role will be head of the execution squads.

First of all, i think u want to address me and not mad mac..he didn't say that shit to you. I see you are drunk again..

U are a bitter old man who wants to see Islam wiped off the earth. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it aint going anywhere. It's only going to get stronger and thing will get worse for your and your kind...That you can count on.

and who said Enda is a christian? I have seen her sporting the fake hijab often..

Sep 24, 2005 — By Hussein Ali Nur

HARGEISA, Somalia (Reuters) - The self-declared republic of Somaliland said on Saturday eight al Qaeda suspects arrested days before a parliamentary election were all locals from Islamic religious circles.

Somaliland President Dahir Rayale Kahin accused the detainees of "disguising" themselves as clerics to plot attacks prior to the September 29 poll.

Police in the Somaliland region of Burao said one of them — taken in the latest swoop on Friday night — was a prominent local cleric Sheikh Mohamed Mohamoud Nur.

"Islam is a religion of peace, but terrorists, like chameleons, change colors and try the one they can easily blend with," Kahin told a new conference.

The suspects, who are accused of working for the al Qaeda network, were all Somaliland locals but trained outside in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, he added.

Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991. It has achieved relatively stability but is not recognized internationally.

"Somaliland has become the target of terrorists who are striving hard to de-stabilize the country and disrupt the stability and security that it has achieved through the years," Kahin added.

"These terrorists have all been trained in Mogadishu and we have videotaped evidence of their training."

U.S. and other Western security services see Somalia as a potential safe haven for terrorists, and are believed to be working closely with authorities in Somaliland.

DELICATE ISSUE

Somalia has been without effective central government since warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991.

Kahin urged Somaliland's 3.5 million inhabitants to help authorities root out extremists in their midst.

"We urge house owners not to rent their houses to people whom they do not know and have no one to vouch for them. We also call on the people to be more vigilant and cooperate with the security forces," he said.

Interior Minister Ismail Osman Aden said late on Friday that all clergymen from Somalia, and parts of Ethiopia, would be asked to leave the country.

Skippa..nice post.

but what do thiunk of the whole thing?

and is Edna christian btw?

[dhoonbe]

This is one strange story. First al-quida, then nonsomaliland somalis, now somalilanders and arab...I still can't get the accurate version of what happened.

[Galol]

Not this early. I will be drunk tonight in ccelebration knowing that some of teh nastiest wadaads in somaliland are having the Mig treatment. Well actually Somaliland is becoming namby-pamby liliy-livered law-abiding liberal place and eager boys from University of Hargeisa's Law faculty out to show their newly acquired legal skills will be giving the police a hard time and stop them doing their job.

You see waddas do not believe in due process, legal support for defendnats, habeus corpus, fifth ammendment, human dignity, innocent till proven guilty and other humane legal methods. So there is an urge to give them a taste of their own medicine.

And yeah Edna is defintely christain always has been. In fact her whole family are some of the oldest christain families in Somaliland.

They are Somaliland-born, Somalia-dwelling, Al-Qaeda trained Arab-worshippers. See No confusion.

Ina Baxar,
That’s a nice tune saaxib, I also like Structa…reminds me of Rastaman Chant, with the binghi drums. Midnite has an original roots feel with a hint of Rodney Winston + Jacob Miller + Peter Tosh.
With Ramadan just around the corner, I am tryin’ to cut back on music but while on my way to work, my i-pod playlist includes tracks like
Concerto de Aranjuez, Rodrigo
Bolero, Ravel
Blue Rondo a la turk, Dave Brubeck
Take Five, Dave Brubeck
Dear old Southland, Noble Sissle & Orchestra

Lion,
what's happenin' bro, I am not sure about Edna's personal beliefs but I hear she's from a Christian background. The funny thing about that article I posted is this: "Interior Minister Ismail Osman Aden said late on Friday that all clergymen from Somalia, and parts of Ethiopia, would be asked to leave the country" is this going to make Somalilanders safer? As I said, the early indications are that these thugs are homegrown.
