Funny how Rabshoole is trying to play the dumb blonde cardEverything I've heard in regards to kismaayu, MR are handling business all while managing it on their own.
Perhaps Rabshoole you should start reading up on recent history rather than listening to nac nac.
Kismayo history 101
An unholy alliance quest for the rich Jubba Valleys
In a conference on late July, 2001, the clan warlords of Ayr, Duduble, Murursade and Mareehaan communities had agreed on forming a common faction called the Jubba Valley Alliance (JVA), in an effort to sustain the uprooting of the inhabitants of the rich Jubba Valleys as part of their strategy to capture and own this valley.
The meeting for the creation of this faction took place at the official residence of Mr Abdiqasim Salad Hassan, the so-called president of "the Transitional Government of Somalia "(TNS), a faction recently formed in Djibouti in the guise of being an interim Somali government, but better known among the Somalis as "Arta Group".
The respective clans of the alliance put up the JVA militias. In the patch-up, the Ayr clan mustered 115 "technicals"- battlewagons - 70 of which were gained with the help of the financial aid by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Murarsade's force accounted for twenty-seven battle wagons led by Mohamed Qanyare, the TNS's minister of Fishing and Marine Resouces, while the Duduble militias supported by eighteen "technicals" owned by two prominent businessmen -Ibrahim Afgoye and Qorfane.
Marehan's forces led by Gen. Ahmed Warsame, Gen. Abdicasis Ali Barre and Col. Barre Hiiraale, accounted for a militias supported by nine battle wagons.
The Ayr contingent of the JVA militia was put under the command of Deyleef, a close relative of Mr. Abdiqasim Salad Hassan, Gen. Galaal, another relative of the same man and the players like Col. Seeraar, Goobaale and Cirfo. Part of this contingent was deployed in Balli Doogle zone while others were deployed in Shabelle, Lower Jubba and Upper Jubba Zones.
What is so saddening is that the JVA was deployed at the behest of a faction that calls itself "the transitional Somali government" and that the international economic aid to Somalia by well-meaning countries was channeled for the use as logistics support for these militias. This aid, which was never supposed to serve as fuel for the blaze in Somalia, had not only resulted in the displacement of large communities in most of the towns where the militias were deployed, but was instrumental in subjecting the residents of these areas to massacre, rape, displacement or intimidation.
