Hargaysa: Somaliland releases Russian crew - loot uniforms & equipment..so much for the bravado

Somaliland releases Russian crew

Six Russian crew members given suspended one-year sentences for trying to fly arms into Puntland region

Friday, December 31, 2010


Six Russians have been released by a court in Somaliland after being sentenced to one-year suspended prison sentences for entering the enclave's airspace illegally and landing a plane with military supplies in violation of a UN embargo.

In his ruling on Thursday at the court in the city of of Hargeisa, judge Abdirqahman Jama Hayan also fined each man three million Somaliland shillings, or around $600.

The six Russians were arrested earlier this month after they landed an Antonov-24 cargo plane at the Egal International Airport on December 10.

Two South African citizens on board the plane have since been released.

The cargo on the flight also reportedly included bullet and grenade pouches.

Aden Ahmed Diriye, assistant general prosecutor, told the court that claims by the crew that an emergency landing was necessary because the plane was suffering from a fuel shortage were false.

Kadar Mohamed Guleid, the Russians' lawyer, said he was satisfied by the verdict and would not appeal.

All of the weapons on the plane will be confiscated, the judge announced.

Somaliland declared itself independent from Somalia in 1991 following violent crackdowns against local people by

President Siad Barre, who led Somalia from 1969 until his downfall in 1991, which precipitated the war that still engulfs the country.

Puntland, which unlike Somaliland does not seek recognition as an independent state, was formed in 1998.

Somaliland is involved in a border dispute with Puntland and the two security forces sometimes clash.

warr waxu wa midgo wallahi. Why take something that everyone knows is not yours?

Ladynacas, no-one has been released. They have been charged and sentenced and will face major time. Looks like you'll have to beg someone else for military equipment to kill your own people. BTW are you still having fantasies about somaliland soldiers in uniform?

And what you mean no one has been released you can't read simple English or something?

Just remember the blood of traitors is always halal.

ps: Next time you need Uniforms call Garowe we will be more then happy to help the poor and needy.

What a faggot. Why would you change my post?
The equipment was confiscated by the S/L authorities because of the illegal trafficking of illegal weapons through Somaliland. Only morons would use another country's main airport to smuggle illegal goods, but then again it's bintiland.

Traitor kulaha. I don't want to address you any more than that because you've clearly been abused and traumatised by some Isaaq man, no move along daboyaco.

This is too funny. Seeing the faces of Piratelanders themselves getting robbed is PRICLESS.
