SOMALIA: SHEIK INDHA ADE LABELED AS A DRUGLORD BY THE UN October 11, 2005
The United Nation's latest report said Sheik Yussuf Mohamed Siad as known as Indha Adde has a large scale drug production and distribution operation in Somalia. If true, this report damages the Shiek's public image. We are taking every effort to report from his side in the near future.
Here’s excerpt from the United Nation’s latest report on Somalia.
Indohaadde also owns drug farms in the area under his control, including at Janaale, Shalambood, Qoryooley, Buulamarer and Kurtun Waarey; the exact number of farms is unknown, but Monitoring Group sources estimated that as many as 10 may be spread throughout his area. He is alleged to be dealing in marijuana (probably in the form of hashish).
Indohaadde’s drug farms are a sophisticated operation involving irrigation systems, fertilizers and herbicides. The workers on the farms are experienced in the drug-growing business and receive a good salary to maintain the high quality of the drugs. The drugs undergo a drying process and are packaged and concealed to avoid attracting attention. The product is graded: poorer-quality product is sent to Mogadishu and neighbouring countries for local consumption, while the higherquality product is put into trucks and transported to airstrips or the Marka seaport for further transport to the international market.
There are about six harvests per year. Indohaadde is expanding his drugfarming operation, by increasing either the number of farms or production per farm. He allegedly receives a total of approximately $100,000 per harvest for all of the farms. Indohaadde has a “special representative†who handles drug-farm operations on his behalf and uses his militia to guard his drug farms.
