WHY PROFFSOR ABDI SAMATER?

[afisoone]

I respect the knowledge and the experience professor Abdi Samater has obtained over the years. I also respect any one who thinks SYL was a party created by Italian colonialist, a party with only 21 people or less. SYL means Somali Youth League. That name was given by Italian police commander named “george toote”, this police chief really organized and even convince his italian government that these party can only lead these country if we want to continue our relationship with Somalis.
Let us face it, Who was Aden Adde before George Toote, the Italian Police Cheif who introduced Aden Adde to SYL. Aden Adde was never intended to become leader, or atleast he did not look a man who interested in leadership. Aden Adde was quite unspoken man who had small plantation near balad and around that. Every time he passed italian police control, he gives a big smile to italian police. Every day smile have lead him job offer from Italian police captain which Aden Adden accepted. Aden Adde never knew the word no or any politics. Everything his life including joining the SYL was behind by Italian colonial. “Hal jazaa’ul ixsaan ilal ixsaan”.

Yes, Italian was brutal colonialist who colonise Somali, but Aden Adde and Abdirisaaq xaaji Xussein was former employee of that ruthless colonialist. To dispute that, Mr professor you are not ready to fairly reveal the whole history of SYL.

An Employee of the enemy can not be “Freedom fighters”, and that is what Aden Adde and Abdirisaq xaaji Xussein were during the colonial error. There is nothing wrong if they said we were forced to work with the colonial which most likely colonialist will not hesistate but no one was forced to work with them. They knew the Italian were colonialist who mass murder thousands of Somalis and yet Aden Adde former employee of Italian colonial become a hero of Somali nation. Only uneducated, Arrogant, will consider people like Aden Adde A hero, or something close to that, because he never risk one single minute for Somalia, infact SYL and Everybody associated with SYL was created by the colonial.

I say to the professor, SYL never did anything spectacular for Somalia and if they did anything good thanks to Colonial. I never thought Colonialist did Something good for Somalia.

Waxaagu wax ka soo qaad ma lahan. Waa iska Hadal aan Haab lahayn. Hadal aan Haab lahaynna waa sida 'Hal Bacaad lagu lisay' oo kale. Taasi waa marka aad la soo shir tagtey dood aan lahayn tixraac sumadaysan oo dhinac kasta gef ku ah dadkii soo dhacshay wixii aan harsan lahayn. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, xilligan aynu joogno, istaahil ma ahan in taariikh horreysey dib u dhiskeed laysu daaliyo--marba haddii taasi aysan keeneyn miro lagu intifaacsado. Hadda iyo xaqiiqda taalla aan ka tusaale qaaddano.

While I am repecting your opinion. Could you please bring one single evidence that contradicts my thesis.

Southern Somalia was an Italian colony and therefore any one who lived in that entity has to live or work under the colonialists who were ruling this section of Somalia. Your justifications that they worked under Italian colony and therefore they couldn't be "Freedom fighters" is not making sense. If you look at the history of the Algerian independence war against the French or the war in Vietnam, you will find that many of the "freedom fighters" in those countries and many others worked for the occupiers or the colonialists. In Vietnam, they were called VietCong and they resisted inside the occupation. SYL has worked withinh the systems that were in place in those days and assured Somalia's independence. In any struggle, what matters is the final result and they have assured us in full independence.

Prof Samatar is one of those extra educated Somalis who loves to criticise 24/7. But he is a wadani laakin, unless we can find his masters dissertation and check for any sings of qabilism.
