Al-Shabaab leader targets Somaliland

By ABDULKADIR KHALIF, NATION CorrespondentPosted Thursday, September 3 2009 at 15:47

MOGADISHU, Thursday
The Amir (leader) of Al-Shabaab, the strongest Islamist movement challenging the Transitional Federal Government in Somalia, has accused the Somaliland authority of oppressing the Muslim people in the region.

Sheikh Mukhtar Abdurahman Abu Zubayr, through a circulated voice message, said: “This authority prevents the Muslim society there from implementing sharia (Islamic) laws,”.

“Such action leaves the people without progress,” he added.

The Al-Shabaab leader, who himself comes from Somaliland, urged the people there to rise against the government and the power structure.

Unsuccessfully

He indicated that since the independence from Britain in 1960, the region has been ruled through un-Islamic governing systems that lead to disappointments.

Sheikh Abu Zubayr blamed the government in Somaliland of having wasted the people’s time by unsuccessfully seeking international recognition for over 18 years.

“This authority’s search for recognition and the hazy democracy it follows amounts to treachery,” said the sheikh.

“The government in Somaliland has only achieved low income, unemployment, poor infrastructure and economic collapse,” remarked Sheikh Abu Zubayr.

He is from Somaliland and apparently took money out of Somaliland central bank, correct?

This whole "We v. them" mentality doesn't really work in Somali politics at this point.

As long as Somaliland exports nuts and terrorists like this man to Konfur, they should expect them to return home

[abdikarim86]

^ do us a favour and kill all them ....alshabaabs

people did i ever tell you my encounter with a couple of "conservatives"
in hargeisa

[AbdiWahab252]

Abdikarim,

What happened ?

I always laugh when I see Somalilanders, Puntlanders, Galmudugians, TFGers arguing among themselves and trying to bring each other down when there is a much bigger force that is waiting to finish them off after they finish beating each other down.

These wadaads are beyond Somaliland, Puntland, Galmudug etc and are working together to take over the nation. They have been waiting over 40 years.

[abdikarim86]

we had music on a little bit too loudly in my car
you can imagine their reaction

abdiwahab ...unfortunatly thats the nature of the somali people

@ exporting terrorists, is somaliland in the axis of evil of the horn

[AbdiWahab252]

ALiyah,

If it was recognized, I believe it would qualify but until BUrco is effectively governed and the terror camps closed, there will be little peace in the Horn,

[Aliyah99]

AW,

You can't seriously believe that s/land is exporting terror or there are training grounds.. they have no legitimacy or support base in s/land. It is you southerners who decided to elevate these nutters from somaliland to Amir status

[abdikarim86]

abdiwahab didn't you see cali gaabs post about burco

it went something along the lines of "there is no alshabaab in burco"

[AbdiWahab252]

Abdikarim,

Only a dumb person would say Shabab is in my backyard Because Shabab would kill them


Aliyah,

Burco is a key supply route and base for Shabab to pour recruits from the North: Sool, Sanaag, and Togdheer to name a few.

The problem is that the SOmalilanders are ignoring this menace in their backyard until when gets too late. These tuugo are like cockroaches and have to be eliminated before they spread

[abdikarim86]

horta where do the bloody rumours that alshabaab is from burco originate from anyway

nways search for his post in that topic full of the reer baris
he does a full explanation there
