General SNM,
I have never voiced any negative remarks against Sheikh Atam. I have actually stated that I am neutral in this conflict in PL and called all PLers and people of good will to resolve it ASAP.
I have shown areas where I agrees AY and areas I disagreed with him and did not hide that.
With respect to the "boyz", if we did not have these guys resisting Ethiopia and kicking Ethiopia and the warlords out of the country, I believe we would be learning Amharic and Tigrinya by now. History will show that 5,000 Somali Mujahidiin took on 50,000 Ethiopian military and in just 2 years drove that merciless invador out of the country. Many Somalis, especially Southernt Somalis supported them, but it was the "boyz" who did the brunt of the fighting. History will also show that many UN agencies and other NGOs that were destroying Somalia's bread basket were thrown out of the country and many of these agencies were also Proselytizing Somalis into the fake religion of Christianity and were also creating pornographic videos on the defenseless children of Somalia as it was proven in Merka city. It is the "boyz" who fulfilled these responsibilities for the people of Somalia and brough to these devastating activities an end and I believe they should be commended for these efforts. Where I disagreed with them is their associtaion with Al-Qaeda and taking the war outside of Somalia's borders. In these two instances, I believe it was a strategic blunder on their part. As you can see I am someone who can point out their good and bad unlinke some people who opposed them for clannish reasons.
With respect to Faroole, he is the elected president of the PL state of Somalia. The buck stops there and he can only be replaced thru the ballot box in the PL parliament and not thru bullets.
So much contradictions. So let me try and make sense of it.
Atam Versus Faroole. One is very close to al-shabab and the other is not and can be classed as ally of ethiopian, and in this conflict you have choosen the sensible option of peacefull negotiations.
In the secound conflict concerning AY who was the main head of the warlords leading the Ethiopians invasion, you have found things to agree with him. Your very understanding I must say.
Regarding the current conflict between Al-Shabab and the Hawiye TFG, your position and posture is very different from your previous positions. Your support for Al-shabab is clear and you want the war to continue and one side to be defeated.
And finally you give Faroole more credit then Shiekh Shariff. As if one was voted for by the people and the other wasn't. They were both voted for in a closed room by selected people.
So any conflict which involves Darod Vs Darod is to be handled with a cool head and a peacefull should be encouraged and achieved through negotiations. And any war involving Hawiye should be encouraged and negotiations discouraged.
No contradictions at all.
Atam Versus Faroole. One is very close to al-shabab and the other is not and can be classed as ally of ethiopian, and in this conflict you have choosen the sensible option of peacefull negotiations.
Show us the proof that Sheekh Atam is with Al-Shabaab. As far as we know that the spokesman of Al-Shabaab Sheekh Ali Dheere has denied him being a member of Al-Shabaab.
Faroole being closed ally of Ethiopia? I have yet to see that evidence. President Faroole brought Al-Ictisaam culima into his government and that has unravelled the Ethiopians. This is the same approach that your uncle Siilaanyo took when he formed his government and the Ethiopians were giving him grief about it.
In the secound conflict concerning AY who was the main head of the warlords leading the Ethiopians invasion, you have found things to agree with him. Your very understanding I must say.
AY refused to sign those 10-point letters that Ethiopians asked him to sign. He has told them that Somalia is a soveriegn state and there is no way that he is going to handover the sovereignty of Somalia. That shows that he has nationalistic sentiment and that is where I agreed with plus the repealing the whole habaar waalid business
And finally you give Faroole more credit then Shiekh Shariff. As if one was voted for by the people and the other wasn't. They were both voted for in a closed room by selected people.
Where did I compare the two? Faroole is elected by PL parliamentarians and that is all I have stated.
In my view Shariif Axmed has committed a national treason when he gave away Somalia's Southern coast to Kenya. He is with a mercenary army that is massacring the people of Somalia in Mogadishu while he is at the same time protected by these mercdenaries from the people he is supposed to rule. This is the man who led them into the killing fields in 2006 and when he ensured they are no longer a threat, have him airlifted by YOU KNOW WHO to that hotel in Nairobi, Kenya.
I do favor peaceful settlements in Mogadishu and Somalia as a whole provided that there is no foreign dictation, no foreign forces, and all Somalis are allowed to participate.
