Matt Bryden is a f-king problem

[Titanium]

From picking sides in Somali politics, to falsely accusing Somali businessmen of co-operating with Al-Shabab and spreading lies against certain Somali politicians and parties.

This man's whole career is circled around finishing off what is left of Somalia. Whatever political gains that are made, he counters it by raising a petty problem and making it something huge. He exaggerates and spices up stories and makes up lies and nonsense. It is absolutely clear what this man is trying to do.

This man went as far as lying about Hormuud and it's supposed terrorist involvement. This is a company that employs thousands of Somalis and at that time tried to spread lies about the company by tying it with Al-Shabab. He had absolutely no proof of any of it too. He could have devastated the whole Somalia economy if the U.S government shut down the company.

Yes, this is all old news but I am bringing it up because the information is relevant and ties in with this case: his political involvement from the sidelines in the Jubbaland issue. He is spreading nonsense these days about what is going down there.

You may be wondering why I may be worried about a simple foreigner. This man has some serious clout. More than we think he does. He needs to be stopped.

i agree with u about him except his support for s/land which is a legit reason

[Titanium]

He can support S/Land recognition but he shouldn't blow things out of proportion and spread lies to achieve his goals.

My beef with him is not even his stance on S/Land (I don't even care in all honesty if it gets recognized or not) but his modus operandi in general. He must be banned from entering Somalia or jailed. The government needs to hire a good PR firm straight out of Manhattan like Edelman to counter that man's bullshit.

He is a sick and evil son of a bitch. I am surprised no one even mentions this man. He's a threat. We are dealing with a evil person.

[BigBreak]

true true, i hope he doesnt support s/land just to drive a wedge between the two brotherly countries

mr bryden has failed to be neutral in somalia affairs and is disrespecting the fed govt for virtually trying to compare it as a clan grou when it is a national govt represented by all somalians

the time for equating the fed govt as equal to a clan state is over and ridiculous, any central govt must be like a parent to its children (states, regions, provinces) and a parent is not equal to their kid in terms of functions within the family (country)

The most important rule for a foreigner who finds himself in the quagmire of Somali politics is that you will never please everyone. This is made harder by the Somali mindset, which says I'm always right not matter the facts.

looool, typical Somali.

thats not what I said. I'm saying in Somali politics there are many different sides and no matter what the foreigner says, somebody will always accuse him of bias. Now he might be wrong on this particular issue you've raised but we as Somalis have the majority of blame. That was my point. I'm not supporting his accusations..

[STARKAST]

Remember Guuls thread, his warnings ? Where you lovingly backed this guy and the good he is doing in Somalia ? Short sighted ?
What do you expect ? Even bombs that go off are attributed to people like him. Higher risks = Higher security = Any price can be charged for everything.
Ti - get back to the drawing board.

[MrPrestige]

Karma is a b!tch. Weren't your people lying about Dahabshiil company from Dahir Calasow to Daynille, spreading lies about it. It is common sense Hawiye
businesses have links to terrorists, Hormuud should get banned like former Al barakat.

[Titanium]

Dahabshiil has as much terrorist "links" as Hormuud. Dahabshiil was forced to pay millions in dollars in taxes to Shabab to operate in their areas. I don't know what your bitching about. Anonymous hacked Dahabshiil's system last year because of that very reason

Now fall back. Literally every other comment of yours is an attack on Hawiye. Chill out and fall back. This thread has nothing to do with qabiil

[MrPrestige]

Al Barakat banned, Hormuud is next. Terrorist businesses based in Mogadishu should be banned, they have contributed to the conflict further in south
Somalia.

[Titanium]

Al Barakaat is still around. It's just the money transfer part of it is gone.

lol @ Hormuud is next. Wallahi I know it hurts you that the financial capital of the Somali people is Muqdisho. After more than 2 decades of war, you were never able to beat that title. You had 2 decades to try and take over that title but you couldn't. If you weren't able to beat it in 2 decades of destruction, you sure as hell wont beat it during peace time. It grew immensely when bombs were popping off. Now look what it will soar in just 5 years.

Go cry. Muqdisho's economy will continue to outshine bitches

[MrPrestige]

Lol I like how you used "Somali" people in Mogadishu and not Hawiye. Cause you know even after 22 years of looting other people's properties, engaging in
piracy you're nowhere near the wealth of Isaaq the richest Somali tribe, with the highest number of high profile tycoons from Amina Hersi Moghe the richest
woman in Uganda to Ibrahim Dheere, Dahabshiil, Cumar Caydiid, Mohamed Yuusuf Ali Gurey. Your most wealthy businessmen are people who got rich off
occupying properties yet they're still nothing next to the big boys (Isaaq), it must hurt b!tch.

although i dont want it to happen, nor do i expect it to happen anyway, if somalia and s/land were to unite as one country in a more equal union than before (1960-1991 south-dominated) neither mog nor hrg can either be both political capital and financial centre at once. if one city was to be the political/diplomatic centre then the other must be the financial/business centre and vice versa. the era of one city having all the prestige is over

[Titanium]

Ducaysane,

There's more Muqdisho "tycoons". It's just that there is no need to advertise them. There is no pride involved. There is no need to advertise them on our websites like they are the messiah like many Somali websites do to flex their clan muscles. It's their success, not a clan success. It's their money. Not ours. And being the financial capital of the Somali people, its irrelevant to advertise such people. It would be downright embarrassing. We are not a tuulo where the person's financial success must be shoved down people's faces. It is a city of millions.

I am happy for SOMTEL and Dahabshiil though. One is majority financed by a Mogadishu man and the came out from the wilderness after a Mogadishu company was shut down by the Americans. If you need anymore exposure to the world of business, just ask reer Muqdisho. They'll assist you

Superlander,

Let nature run its course my friend. The political capital could be changed easily but you cant change the financial capital. It's a decision left up to the businessmen/women. Business goes where the money and population is.
