British forces enter Somalia to capture 'Leader'

[LiquidHYDROGEN]

The leader was a member of a prominent Harti clan. The Issaq in Hargeisa applauded the seizure as it allowed them to get some photo opportunities with some whites and allowed them to tell the masses, ictiraaf"

Our masses aren't as illiterate and ignorant as your's who after twenty years of civil strife still believe they have a country.

[AbdiWahab252]

AbdiIsmail,

Don't get your panties in a twist. The arrested guy is Harti. The authorities in Hargeysa applauded his capture and used it as an opportunity to impress the Whites and stress they are different from those uncouth Konfurians.

WTF? What happened to Somalias reputation as the graveyard for foreign troops? Now we have xabashis, fuley bantu, and even ingriis and french going in and out with impunity. Where are the mooryaans? Are you capable of only bullying innocent somali locals?


This shit would never happen the taliban in Afghanistan. Can you imagine NATO kidnapping one of thier tribal leaders?

20 years of war and old weapons... along with a disillusioned population with regards to fighting makes this rather easy for foreign armies.

This isn't 1993 when the mooryans had fresh weapons and armored vehicles

The topic title is very misleading. Sounds more like the British commandos operating a taxi service for Puntland clan leaders.

Piracy is giving these dokhsiis an excuse

The July operation that was mentioned was at Las Qoray, and British marines did not expect any resistance, but the PL forces in that town fired at them and they returned to their ship without landing.

I think the incident to meet or capture a new leader is a new thing, but it does not say any clear indications where it took place.

So did they manage to get the dude or not?

In July they did not get any one, but this operation is a new one, and they are not telling where it took place.

Udun you are wrong on this one too

The Marines’ raid in July was the first time British troops have conducted a military operation in the troubled territory in 40 years. The swoop was part of Exercise Somaliland Cougar, a mission to train coastguards in Somaliland – a former British protectorate that broke away from failed Somalia – in anti-piracy techniques and meet MPs and tribal leaders.
'Further raids against terror camps and pirate bases'

The Marines, serving on the 60-man Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship Cardigan Bay, had come under fire as they sailed near the autonomous Somali region of Puntland, which is in dispute with Somaliland.

, a small unit from 539 Assault Squadron was sent in to pick up the tribal elder for the talks.

Under cover of darkness, they set out from RFA Cardigan Bay, a landing ship dock that allows smaller boats to send troops and equipment to shore.

The landing craft carried two armoured Viking troop-carrying vehicles protected by machine guns and smoke grenades.

The Vikings successfully left the landing craft and headed for their rendezvous with the tribal leader. Each carried up to 12 commandos.

Odayga lama afduubine , they picked him up and escorted to a meeting

[AbdiWahab252]

Goljano,

Warya, the meeting has not ended yet. You sold the Tuna Head.

Goljano, this is a new thing that did not happen in July. In July when they tried to land at Laas qoray, the locals fired at them, and they quickly went back to their ship. There was no traditional elder whom they captured or met at that time. This is a new thing, and they did not give details; I will not be suprised if it took place another place.
