Wasn't Elman killed by Al Shabaab?

[Twist]

What? Alshabab? Was there Alshabab in early 90's when the UN troops were in Somalia?

[TheblueNwhite]

Wadaado killed him in '96, Al Itixaad I reckon. To me Al Itixaad and Al Shabaab are one and the same.

[Twist]

He was killed before 96. Either 94 or 95 and I heard his assassination was kinda political, not sure.

Apart from the football club he used to help to poor, orphan kids through schooling and giving them shoe-shining boxes with tools to support themselves and their families and somehow someone didn't like that etc.

[TheblueNwhite]

He had dreads bro. Put 2 and 2 together.

Btw, It was '96.

Elman Ali Ahmed was the victim of an apparently political killing in Mogadishu on 9 March 1996.

Funny, I was in Madina those days & wasn't into politics and that shit. The war in which Aideed was killed I was in Madina hiding from stray bullets and mortars.

Somehow I thought that Elman was killed around 94 or 95 but you're right, I have also just seen it in Amnesty Int.'s website.

[TheblueNwhite]

I can't believe you were in Medina that time.

[Twist]

I was in Madina 1st January 2002. I flew from Mogadishu 2nd Jan 2002. Decade xataa weli ma ii buuxsamin, maalmaa ka dhiman.

[TheblueNwhite]

Were you in school or doing business?

[Twist]

I lived there. It was home, sxb. But yeah I was in school at the time. Well, "private" schools since standard schools didn't exit at that time (or weren't much) & most of the foreign supported/funded ones (i.e. Egypt, Gulf countries, Sudan etc) increased late 90's onwards.

[TheblueNwhite]

Wow. How was it like? day to day life?

Horta magacii godkii qashinka lagu shubi jirey oo Madiina meesha ay ka bilaabato ku yaal marka airport la aadayo?

Gurigeena ayaa u dhowaa meeshaas, dhulka ayaa la dhigey madfac sidii loola dhacaayey.

[Twist]

Walaahi it was normal, though people from other parts of Mogadishu regarded it as a green zone. I moved there right after the UN left Somalia, '95, and didn't live anywhere else since the day I left Somalia. I liked it & would move there if a real peace comes back Insha Allah.

Guriga Aadan Gabyow uu u dhowaa miyaa gurigiina?

[TheblueNwhite]

Waalidkaan weydiinaa.

Guri dabaqyo oo laamiga saaran maa ka hadlooysaa suuqa mediino agteeda? gurigeena wuu ku dheganaa, dhulkaa la dhigey kaas xataa, islaan eedadey ah ayaa noo sheegtey Ethiopianka markey baxeen ka dib.
