Northeastern tigre lovers want to loot material from Mogadishu port to construct Garacad port.


Where is the socalled ''Mayor of Mogadsihu''



M.Dheere is as we said a weak opportunist who happens to be a traitor. His interest runs contrary to the interest of Mudulood and Somalia in general.

Mudulood people should not follow weak men who collaborate with the enemy of Somali people in the Horn of Africa. It is not in our nature.



Ethiopians and their Northeastern cheerleaders need to be evicted from Benadir/Somalia.

[Luq_Ganane]

Why shouldn't they loot it? I hope they loot every part they need, because at least they'll use it. Remember the port in Xamar wasn't used at all for 17 years because the 255394 warloards that control the city couldn't agree on how to use it. Great job by Reer Puntland

^ Says ..the guy who's never been to mogadishu but and believes what ever he reads.

Somaliweyn.

This specific looting has started in the run-up to the End of Northeastern stay under ethiopian protection.. Ever since Fall out with Gheedi...

Its pack up, take what you can and head back north for them.

[Somaliweyn]

Geedi is irrelevant...ever since 2004, we have been saying that Mudulood in no ocassion support the Tigre Federal Group....but since then warlord/traitor M.Dheere convinced a small minority within Mudulood to take advantage of the Ethiopians and their puppet government. So he hosted them in Jowhar which went against the interest of Mudulood and Somalia in general. After a while, he was betrayed by A.Yusuf......then we all know what he was yelling on the radio.


Again, we adviced Mudulood people to join league with other groups in defending Somalia and Mogadishu from the imminent Ethiopian invasion. Again warlords and traitors like Geedi/M.Dheere deceived the people to support or tolerate the Ethiopian occupation and the presence of their puppet goverment along with the Northeastern Tigre lovers.

Now, Geedi and M.Dheere are again witnessing another Jowhar drama....and soon it will become crystal clear for Mudulood people in Benadir that the only option open is: Ethiopians out, and after that sending the Northeastern cheerleaders of the Ethiopian soldiers back to Bari.




All that we were saying is about to happen....today the port is been looted while men like M.dheere are quit....

[Somaliweyn]

Lugh,

If they loot Mogadishu port, Mudulood must return the favor and loot Bosaso port. Northeastern and Ethiopians soldiers will be kicked out of Somalia.


About not using Mogadishu port...well...if the beach-port Ceel Macaan was the most profitable port outcompeting all others...why would people waste time on reopening Mogadishu port.

It would not be fair competition...Ceel macaan is already a tough competition for ports like Kismanyo, Bosaso, Berbera etc.

[Luq_Ganane]

Somaliweyn,

Ofcourse El maan was very profitable. When and entire capitol's assets, national treasures, monuments, infrastructure, peoples personal property etc. are looted and stripped bare they need to be exported somewhere right? It was for this reason El maan received a lot of commercial traffic probably even more than Bossaso or Kismayo. However El Maan is a natural port, with Ships docking on the SAND and than thousands of people unloading by hand. I've seen pictures of El Maan, and it looks like nothing more than a bustop.

The fact that Mogadishu port was not used all these years is a shame. I know a lot of the "Darood kids" on this site might think its blasphemous for me to say this but I can't help but think: When the USC took over the entire capitol was 100% intact. Hawiye had an oppritunity to become immensely rich as they could monopolise the recourses of a robust capitol. Instead it was destroyed, and the people of Xamar pretty much lived the same as the rest of Somalia. Wallahi I'd much rather have one segment of the Somali population (Hawiye) be considerebly wealthy than to have an entire country thats dirt, dirt poor. What a waste.

Luq,

When dictators are thrown out of power, looting occurs.

Check out what happened to Baghdad after Sadam's fall.

[Luq_Ganane]

A/Wahab,

No, when a capitol is overrun by street thugs and gangs that had sinister intentions and no plan for the country, thats when you have the madness and mayhem that was Mogaidshu Post-'91.

*Now lets wait for Somaliweyn to get into a drawn out blabbering on the "Revoutionary spirit, and the hijacking of the revolution"*

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq_GAnane,

So when are you ever gonna concede Siyaad Barre's darkside ?

Looting occurs when there is a power vacum caused by sudden forceful revolution.

The Somali people were not the same naive, docile creatures they were in 1969.

[DawladSade]

What is there to loot after 17 years of naar there?

[Luq_Ganane]

A/Wahab,

I have several, several times discussed the mistakes MSB made, perhaps more than his achievements in my attempt to be objective. However I see the hypocracy when everything that went wrong pre '91 is thrown at his feat, and everything good pre '91 he's not given credit for and everything wrong post '91 is thrown at his feat. Wtf is that? Lying to yourselves and not taking responsibility is not going to help anybody. There was a coup in Thailand a few months ago when the PM of that country was in the UN meeting of ministers. You didn't hear a peep in that. Leaders are overthrown all the time everywhere and every place. Thats still no excuse for the barabaric post '91 actions in the capitol. So now that I've answered your question, are you willing now to admit that the USC was just a drug induced gang unit that had absolutely no plans for the country?

[Somaliweyn]

Lugh,

It is better to first enquire about something then draw conclusions...instead of prejudices leading to conclusions.


Ceel Macaan was nothing than a beach in 1991-2. It was used by NGO's to bring aid to Northern Mogadishu because of the 4 months war.

After the NGOs and UN left, Ceel Macaan was closed again. It was reopened during 1998/9. After 1999 it slowly began to outcompete Merca port which was hit by the El Nino of 1998. After 2000 Ceel Macaan, which was a simple beach, became the most well managed port in Mogadishu.

This rising trend went on till 2004, when it was measured as the most profitable port in Somalia, making more than 30 million...which is the revenues of Kismaanyo, Berbera and Bosaso port combined.

So tell me, how can a ''bus stop'' outcompete deepsea ports?

The managerial/business skills of Cadaani family is superb. How else can u explain the mere fact that they transformed a beach into a main port creating thousands of jobs, and making revenues of more than 30 million?

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

No way. The USC were 100% justified in overthrowing the regime.

Once the Somali National Army Unit under the command of Dhagabecyr killed 60 of my innocent, unarmed men of my tool in a village called Docol, my entire family became supporters of the United Somali Congress Armed Faction.

There was blood score that had to be settled and ensure that the Dictator in Mogadishu would never have any more violence against my tool.

[King-of-Awdal]

This thread will again turn into MSB VS AIDEED.

[Voltage]

King of Awdal how can you compare a low drunk to a savvy businessman? Those men are not equal nor can they ever be compared.
