An Interesting Documentary on The Arms Trade in Somalia

[GeoDesic]

Gemini,

Buloxawo is the original name but the ilkoyar regime changed the name to upgrade it from a mere 'bulo' to beled.

From a mere buulo to Beled. Classic! Funniest part here is how you deride the clan on oneside, and want their warlord to be released on the other.

That's Abdiwahab for you. Something about buulo to belaayo and Marehan having not lived there though British and latter Italian sources all concur on print.

War Voltage abti to progress first you must be honest and accept reality. That film above shows a dirt poor town with zero commercial activity.I don't enjoy pointing this fact out as 100's of towns like it exist in Somalia. The only reason I commented was to show the gap between what you guys claim and reality. It's big.
Furthermore those people are not human let alone Somalis. We don't have Somalis who think like those scum, up north. What kind of animal claims he will rape a women with his gun. Your people are slowly becoming animals if these sort of things are the norm. Also why would anybody trade in a town populated by tuugs with guns who are a law unto themselves? They will probably rob any trader.


But you know what's funny you always go crazy when somebody posts any pictures of small progress in Somaliland, and here is your major town. Wallahi my towns in miyi forget Burco or Hargeisa are more civilised and have better infrastructure. The irony.

[Murax]

Those guys in the video in like the 7:00 part just looked plain evil. You couldn't see any mercy in their eyes.

[Voltage]

You are some early 20's kid in London. I doubt if Gedo had the peace Somaliland had, our biggest break through would be waterwells as I heard from your largest town Hargeisa last year. This is bit a dot of sand in the hour glass. Nabad hala helo then we can compare, otherwise it would be as comparing handicap to laba lugle. Puntland's trade fair today is a carwo featuring Xalwo Kismaayo. A trade fair in Beled-Xaawo of the same magnitude and circumstance as Bosaaso would attract Kenyan and Ethiopian finance ministers. There is no interest for me to compare in this time qoloba mar bay soo martaa..qolodaas in late 70', yours in 80, anaguna it is our time. I doubt you will seek to compare to us in a level playing field so hold your spit General Duufle.

Waan ka yaabay saxib. Qabiil sharaf leh collectively yuu meelna ku aflagaadaynaayaa meel kalena leeyahay nin ka dhashay hala sii daayo as if he cares. At least his is out in the open.



There would be no Somali history without Mareexan both in the past and in the present. Their skills in war and nobility in peace is written in history. They were and are always part of history making in our noble society. Aniga Warlords aa la i tusin regardless of what clan they hail from. Hope you understand when I pick on Barre Hiiraale.

I find it ironic people whose lands have been in peace and surrounded on two fronts by water, a front by friendly clans, and the fourth by Sacad which annihilated them before our rescue can now post boast comparisons on a town that as far as was suffering this wise:

you're targeting your anger at the wrong people. no puntlander in here has boasted about anyones suffering nor did we make any comparisons of any sort. all i did was simply post a documentary my father told me about and, honestly, i had no idea the bula hawa in the video was your beloved beled xaawo so calm the hell down. i really thought bula hawa was a refugee camp on the kenya-somalia border. maybe you should target your anger at kiefer sutherland and co. for making this documentary or, better yet, get pissed off at the mooryaan who find pride in raping their own cousins and who are responsible for making your beloved town look the way it does.

interesting I will watch inshallah.

All I see is alot of if's and very little substance. "if we had the peace, we would send a mam to the moon from beleyo xawa" "if we had the peace" "if" "if", you get my drift.
Let me educate your young mind as it seems your not in touch with reality, I blame it on the boli qaran xaran money that's left you unstable.
Sxb, peace does not grow on trees or found in the bottom of the ocean. Peace requires had work, it requires diligent leaders with the foresight to see past today and make those decision which will affect tomorrows outcomes. Peace required a population able to trust the decision of their leaders and the faith to hope for a better tomorrow.
But you Voltage don't believe that and rather then aiming for something as small as peace you are making claims that won't be achieved by any ilkoyar even if you pulled the dead ones out of their graves to lend a hand.
Today when qabil X and Qabil Y have gone their separate ways, your people have been found out.

Gemini, I would give you the benefit of the doubt if I didn't understand fully well your intentions. However, if it makes a difference nothing prickles my skin than hearing that little mooryaan say we use the qori to rape women. That would be immediate execution in my domain.

GeneralDuufle, you have said nothing of substance.

GeoDesic I completely understand you. I don't know why people continue to believe I am still Barre Hiiraale's number one guy, I mean some Marehan will look at me with disgust but you only have to look at my postings in Sade private as well as Gedo Province discussions to see. Still I respect the man for having defeated USC in early 90's and when I describe why he is under arrest now, it is the truth, not emotionalism ama nin jeclaysi ama beer laxowsi. It is really is the truth. But I understand what you mean.

i posted this topic at 8:27 PM EST, after speaking to my father on the phone whilst he was watching the documentary. again, i did not even know that bula hawa is beled xaawo when i posted the topic. just like i don't expect everyone to know that bandar qassim = bosaso, you can not expect everyone to know everything about gedo.

your anger is misplaced and instead of dissing PL and SL, perhaps you should do something productive for your people. these same warlords and clan militia you support ruthlessly rape, kill and rob their own cousins. isaaq, hawiye and your fellow daroods are not the ones who burned your town to the ground.. your own people did. perhaps it's time you took responsibility and did something about it instead of hating on other somalis for realizing the importance of peace.

Even though you have plagiarised exactly what I said to you in my above post and used it as shelter, I will be gracious and let you have it.

I might not be talking substance but your entirely qabil has no substance..

[Voltage]

I doubt that counts for me "hating" fellow Somali Muslims, some even tribal kins, for realizing "peace". For someone that was quick to attack kii from Minnesota, Ironman, for hating on the trade show in Bosaaso you sure like to rub the sense of insecurity some Somalis did not choose but have to suffer. That is the mark of xaasidnimo, but I concur I suppose I now understand your interest in the subject.

GeneralSNM, wonderful. All I have to say is Marehan are the top if not one of the top sub-clans with diaspora members around the world, are majority in number of American cities when it comes to Somalis, the bacadle in Beled-Xaawo making more money than your average trade in Hargeisa...inshallah peace will come by. This time frame is but a grain of sand in the hour glass. In due time, the past will catch up to the present.

I think you've more important things to worry about like... recognition? Marka waxaan ku dhihi laha stay out of Somalias' affaires belaayo kula cuqdad badnaatay.

[Mzbeautifull]

No offence but some Southerners have lost the plot officially.
