Is it true General Galaal is badly injured ?

What a man who refused to fight ever for qabiil for so many years got mislead by Dahir Aweys ?

Galaal was anti HAbar Gidir for a long time. He was with Ali Mahdi even during the Habar Gidir-Abgaal Wars

I didn't know Galal was still kicking around, and am certainly very surprised he was still in the fighting game. Aligned himself with Aweys? Why would he do that?

He is not dead or injured.

General Galaal was interviewed by Universal TV last night, He and the ex-somali army soldiers he is leading have not taken part in the war yet.

Thanks for the update. I thought it sounded hokey. Galal has pretty much stayed out of the limelight since he split with Aideed. It seemed his fighting days were over after he saw what happened when Siad Barre was defeated (thank in substantial part to his own efforts). Even though he is Haber Gedir, I never thought he would align himself with Aweys, who's rapaciousness is transparent.

Gen.Galaal hasn't participated in this war.

He was both against the courts and Tigre's intervention, and besides the courts haven't adviced him and other senior Hawiyes when the war started, they ignored them till heat went up yesterday.

Now he and others are commissioned back in action.

Galaal is a smart Hawiye man, he played the lionshare in toppling Siad Barre's regime and when Gen. Aideed escalated his little feud with Ali Mahdi into a full-scale inter-Hawiye war he wisely condemned Aideeds actions and did not side with the agressors who happened to be his clan but with Ali Mahdi....this in a time that clan was everything.

anno 2006, Aweys has many times tried to persuade Galaal to join their movement. He simply rejected it and said that the wise thing to do was first to direct energy at the development of your own region, in this case Guriceel and Dhusomareeb, before even thinking of other man's regions.

Gen.Galaal is a wise man.

Based on the information I have, I could not agree with you more.

I dont think A.Qassim has much deep hatred for his fellow Habar Gedrs

LordDiplock, He has had his hatred since the 1960s, when a Sacad MP was elected from Cayr land in Galgaduud. The Sacad guy won his seat through laluush & it pissed him off.

Abdi
It goes beyond that. General Galal clearly learned from the war with Siad Barre that inter-Somali conflict was going to be endless, so he walked away from it. That is why he didn't support Aweys, who's Cayr.

Post by **AbdiWahab252** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 10:14 am

MAD... He did support CabdiQassim & Aweys who both his kinsmen. He was also a close ally of ALi Mahdi.

Steeler [Crawler2] · Post by **Steeler [Crawler2]** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 10:15 am

No Abdi, he did not. Nor did he "support" Ali Mahdi. He did not fight in any of the post Siad Barre internecine conflict.
