A SHOOT DOWN OF BA'ADLE'S BALDERDASH:
A SONNET FOR THIS BLOODY SOMALI SEASON
Nota Bene:
Note well:
Given this bloody Somali season
Given this bloody current crazy kerfuffle
Maroyare
My alter ego
advised against the publication of this bloody sonnet
I decided to publish it
because
the day
that Yussuf Garad and his Habar Gidir Ayr Koofiyo Dhuub succeed
to silence me
to muzzle me
in Montreal
in Canada
in North America
that is the day
that they have defeated me
that they have truly won.
my conscience is clear
my conscience is clean
my conscience is a soft pillow:
that is why I sleep so soundly
Let us carry on
carrying this caveat in mind:
Every Somali is
The spiritual son of the Habar Gidir KKK
The spiritual daughter of the Habar Gidir KKK
We are all Habar Kintir manqué
how else can you explain
how the Habar Gidir have been getting away
with the Evil they have been doing
to themselves first
to Somalia
to us Somalis
for the last seventeen years
Because
"All that is necessary for Evil to succeed is that good people do nothing."
Because
every Somali
Like the Koofiyo Dhuub KKK
Believes
in the awful atavism of Clan & Camorra
in the awful anachronism of Clanism:
the most insidious sort of Racism
Believes
in his clannish Cosa Nostra
In his Blood
in his Bone
in his kinsmen
in his agnates
Right or Wrong!
Every Somali goes wherever his KKK goes:
Fiqi tolkee kama janna tago: Even a learned Somali divine won’t go to paradise without his KKK!
Every Somali sings:
Tol iyo fardo, toll baan doortay: Of my KKK & wealth, I chose my KKK.
We are only so-called Somalis
who are all idiots
who are all Matto:
who are all Mad
who don't believe in Allah
who neither believe nor practice Islam
who kill & are killed for their crazy creed which is
"Me and my KKK against the world
Me and my family against my KKK
Me and my brother against my family
Me against my brother".
The only reason Yussuf Garad and His Habar Gidir 'Ayr
sit exalted,
by merit raised
To their bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope...
is
their dedication
their addiction
To cock-eyed crazy Cainish Clannish Evil.
The only difference is that now
only Ina Sad Salad Prozac Boy and his Koofiyo Dhuub KKK are committing treason against the Somali nation
And betraying all of us Somalis by chorusing right now :
Come weal
Come woe
Our status is quo!
Bililiqsi yesterday
Bililiqsi today
Bililiqsi tomorrow
Bililiqsi forever!
Koofiyo Dhuub yesterday
Koofiyo Dhuub today
Koofiyo Dhuub tomorrow
Koofiyo Dhuub forever!
But now Kismet & Karma have Koofiyo Dhuub Cornered.
...........................
Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD,
I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked[Habar Gidir 'Ayr...]
But the wicked [Habar Gidir 'Ayr ] are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest,
whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
There is no peace,
says my God, to the wicked [ Koofiyo Dhuub]."
.........From the Wisdom of the Jews.
Hal 'addo leh iyo
Habar Gidir
Ma laga Harssado
Mana laga hoydo:
From these impossible terrible two
From Habar Gidir and
From a camel that has scabies
You get
neither peace
nor pause
Neither by day
Nor by night.
.....A variation on a common Somali Saying.
Nin soori qaaday
Nin seefi qaaday aya dhaama:
Ninny taken
by the Bililiqsie
by the plunder
by the rape
by the rapine
by the rage
by the rave
by the rant
by the cant
by the writhe
by the wrath
by the razz
by the razzmatazz
by the razzle-dazzle
of Razzia
of Gulosity
is
more of a goner
than a ninny gunned down
is
more of a goner
than a ninny gutted by the guillotine.
.......a variation on a common Somali saying
Yesteryear Aidiid's Habar Gidir crushed every Somali clan
Today Aidiid's Habar Gidir is being crushed under their Clueless Gutless Gulosity
Today Haran Ku Nah's Habar Gidir is crumbling under their Nin Belaya cursed clannish
CAINISH Creed
Yesteryear Osman Atto's Habar Gidir forced countless Somalis to flee from their Homeland
for their very own lives
Today Osman Atto's Habar Gidir is fleeing for their very own lives everywhichway
like cornered cockroaches
Yesteryear Yussuf Garad's Habar Gidir Koofiyo Dhuub KKK fomented fitna rather than be ruled
"by an Abgal ass called Ali Mahdi"
Today Yussuf Garad's Habar Gidir Koofikyo Dhuub KKK are abjectly begging Protection & Mercy
from the very same Abgal Ali Mahdi
Yesteryear Ina Salad Boy chose his Aidiid's Habar Gidir Koofiyo Dhuub KKK
over the whole Somali nation
Today that coward is cowering under the Abgal wings of Bod & Ali Mahdi
Yesteryear Hassan Dahir Aways's Habar Gidir 'Ayr KKK had tabar but no talo:
had power but no brain
Today Hassan Dahir Aways's Habar Gidir 'Ayr KKK has neither tabar nor talo:
has neither power nor brain
Yesteryear Indha'Adde's Habar Gidir Koofiyo Dhuub KKK was trigger-happy & slaphappy
laughing & mocking Allah
Today Indha'Adde's Habar Gidir Koofiyo Dhuub KKK is weeping & reaping
the bitterest harvest of their fugly fiddle-faddle fatude fitna
Today Togane with glee guffaws: Ma'a sokor!
with schadenfreude Togane tittups: Togane told you so.
NOTES
1. Abgal: “The Cockney of Mogadishuâ€; the clan of Ali Mahdi whose traditional territory includes Mogadishu.
2. Aideed: Or Aidid. General Mohamed Farah Aideed, also known as General Wow of Black Hawk Down notoriety; General Wow: (Somali): Lit. The Wacko General: In reference to the fact that Aideed was indeed a mad man who was in a dire need of a psychiatrist; but neither he nor his Klan, (Habar Gidir) wanted to hear of it.
They would sum up their crazy clannish collective attitude and retort with this Somali saying: “It doesn’t matter if a man is insane; as long as his KKK is sane.†It is the cultivation and the cathexis of such an attitude, such fatude: such fiddle-faddle that drove the Habar Gidir into mass psychosis. As we all know now not only had Aideed driven his whole clan crazy, but he had also driven his whole country and the UN and the USA nuts; indeed this top Somali banana drove the whole world bananas; proving the gypsy right who aver “One madman makes many madmen and many madmen makes [sic] madness.†See Isabel Fonesca. Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies & Their Journey. New York: Vintage Departures, 1996.
Aidiid--like his KKK--was impossible to deal with: Aidiid was gardiid and gardiid waa Allah-diid: one who refuses and rejects and tries to refute the will and the wisdom of Allah. See page 232 of Lewis. A Pastoral Democracy: A Study of Pastoralism & Politics Among the Northern Somali of the Horn of Africa. London: Oxford University Press, 1961.
Aidid is the thug that mugged and kicked Uncle Sam and his UN out of Somalia; Aideed was the scourge of the Darod; the thug that tarred and feathered and ran Sa-id Samatar out of town, out of Mog, on a rail in an American tank with the whole world watching agog
On Larry King Live
On CNN
On BBC
On ABC
On CBC
On CBS
On PBS
On the Toronto Royal Loyal Habar Gidir Broadcasting Castration Center of of Gûn Somali clans.
Aidid simply couldn’t stand Sa-id because Sa-id who was then consultant for Ted Kobel of ABC happens to be a disagreeable & disgruntled Darod.
In my Aidid report back
To the Moslems
To the Mennonites
To the Somalis
To the Canadians
To the Americans
To the Europeans
To all the friends of the Somali people
Who had sent me on that fateful dangerous Peace Mission
To Aideed
To Mogadishu
In 1992
I wrote:
It is maktub now:
It is written now
That there are now three likely scenarios in Somalia
(1) For Somalis
To crown Aideed with the royal diadem
To crown Aideed
King of all the Somali KKK!
(2) Or for Somalis
To unite
To kick crazy Aideed out of Somalia
To keep the Darod Dog Afwayne company!
In Nigeria!
To unite
To kick crazy Aideed out of Somalia
Just like they had done it
To the Dirty Darod Despot
Just like they had kicked Afwayne out of Somalia
All the way to Nigeria
(3) Or for Somalis
To kill the SOB Aideed right there
Where he was
In his Hutu Hawiye Nut-house!
In Moriyan-Mad Max Mogadishu!
That made my audience
clamor
cry out:
“Togane
Prophesy!
Play Tiresias
Play the part of the Blind Prophet of ancient Greece
The most famous soothsayer of ancient Greece
You are the man
You were there
You suffered
You saw Aideed
You nearly lost your life four times
Before you encountered
The Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hero
Aideed and his Abgal nemesis:
Ali Mahdi
Of the three scenarios you had cited
Which one is the most likely to come to pass?
Afwayne, the spiritual Papa Doc of Aideed, had the sense
To say
To himself
To his dreadful Darod MOD confederacy:
‘You are intelligent,
What better alternative is there
But run away from the wrath of the Hutu Hawiye Heathen Hordes!
To Nigeria
Where nigger dictators like me
May micturate away their last days
In peace!’
And then Papa Afwayne split from his obscene scene of Mad Max Mog!
How will the Hutu Hawiye hero end up?
How will he meet his Maker?
Will he too like Afwayne cheat justice
And split from the senseless Somali scene
he staged
he starred in
he thrived in
Will he too like Afwayne cheat justice
And split from the senseless Somali stage
upon which he strutted and fretted his hour
"and then is heard no more;
...a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.?â€
—I stood up and delivered this prophesy:
General Wow
The Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hero is a heel
The Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hero is a hellion
The Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hero is a hell-hound
The Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hero won’t have enough sense
To run away to Nigeria from the wrath of his Hutu Heathen Hawiye Hordes!
Aidiid will go down
In a hail of bullets from a Hutu Heathen Hawiye Kalashnikov
Right there in Mogadishu!
Finally four years later the words of Togane
The Somali Tiresias
Came to pass!
Finally Aideed heard
the music of the only language
that he dug:
the language of Mad MOD Mugdi Mudug
where he hailed from;
the language of Bud iyo laan: cudgel& stave
for he got his overdue comeuppance
on August 2, 1996
when he ran heedlessly (as it was his wont) into a hail of bullets
Mohamed Farah Aidid
Danced to bullets
Danced his last
Danse macabre
Sic transit Gloria mundi Hutu Heathen Hawiye Habar Gidir Jalaf!
Thus passed away the glory of the Hutu Heathen Hawiye Habar Gidir Jalaf!
Thus passed away the hour of the glory of the Hutu Heathen Hawiye Habar Gidir Jalaf!
Thus Aideed & his Heathen Hutu Hawiye Habar Habar Gidir Jalaf snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory!
Thus Aideed & his Habar Kintir killed the whole rank racist crazy condom concept called Hawiye!
Aidiid was gardiid & gardiid wa Allah diid: One who refuses and rejects and tries to refute the result of the consensus decision-making of the Moslem community: the will and the wisdom of Allah and his Prophet who taught his Ummah: “My community will never agree upon an error".
See page 232 of Lewis. A Pastoral Democracy: A Study of Pastoralism & Politics Among the Northern Somali of the Horn of Africa. London: Oxford University Press, 1961.
The trophy of this triumph over Evil-eyed Aidid and his ill-jeh jinni Jalaf goes to the clannish confederacy of convenience of Atto’s Rer Hilowle & the Da-ud Abgal warlord, Al-hajji Muse Sudi Yalahow, whose clan Aidid held in utter contempt for Aideed & his Habar Gidir just couldn’t envision Somalia under the leadership of Ali Mahdi and his Abgal whom they derided as “Ali Diesel & his bovine Abgal & their donkeys.â€
General Wow’s legendary mulish mad ill-jeh jinni Jalaf stubbornness began in arrogant ignorance and ended in his unregrettable and unlamented Demise & Disgrace.
Rira bien qui rira le dernier: He who laughs last, laughs best!
3. Bililiqsi: (Somali) Signifying Rape & Rapine & Razzia; pillaging & sacking & kidnapping; the political modus operandi of Atto, AidIId, Ali Diesel, Galayrd, Salad Boy & their Darod & Hawiye Huns: all Somali clans are guilty of this abominable lawlessness & outrage, but the Hawiye particularly distinguished themselves in this evil enterprise; bililiqsi is their main contribution to Somali political discourse: witness what they have wrought in mad Mogadishu. It is indeed the Hawiye Heathen Huns who brought back Kipling back in vogue especially “his lesser breeds without the law, half child, half devilâ€: a perfect description of the Hutu Hawiye now in charge of Mog. Bililiqsi or "raids are our agriculture†is the boast of the Bedouin of Mugdi Mudug. See page 228 of Bruce Chatwin’s “Nomadic Invasions†in What Am I doing Here. New York: Viking Penguin, 1989.
4. Bod: One day Afwayne the erstwhile tyrant tried to jive
the wag
the wit,
Farah Gololay,
the Oscar Wilde of Somalia,
the monarch of Somali savvy, suavity and savoir-faire,
by listing the litany of the favors he had personally bestowed upon the Abgal,
Farah’s clan.
Afwayne blew his own horn by declaiming:
“Farah, what had the Majerten, your friends, done for your Abgal clan
when they had the power I am enjoying now;
when they used to lord it over everybody before I booted them out of power;
when they used to boast
“Majeerteen iyo Madax-madow
ayaa is le'eg:"
our Majerten clan is
as mighty as &
as numerous as
all the rest of the Somali clans in the nation put together?’
Nothing! I dare say.
Look at what I have done
for you
for your Abgal:
I made Bod, the Director General of donkeys
and other hapless animals in the Ministry of Animal Husbandry;
I made Shod the Director General of the Somali bank;
I even made your donkeys strut around Mogadishu
sporting brand new diapers imported from the USA called pampers.
Look how I pamper you Abgal & your donkeys!â€
Farah Gololay parried the Dishonest Darod Despot’s Drivel
and sniffed
and snorted
and chortled
“Bod, Shod, Bullshit!
Jackasses all of themâ€.
Which made Afwayne,
the hyena of Garbaharay,
almost fall off his high horse with laughter;
which still makes Somalis roar with laughter
wherever they may be.
So far this stinging salvo of ridicule is Bod’s sole claim to distinction.
Not long ago Bod went to Bossasso begging the Darod Majerten to come back
to Mogadishu
to restore law & order
to pacify & contain Habar Gidir.
This is the general sentiment of the Abgal
who are convinced
that the biggest political booboo
that they had ever committed was
when they and their Hutu Heathen Hawiye Confederacy
led by that Mad Hatter General Wacko of the Jalaf persuasion
ethnically cleansed Mogadishu of the Darod and took over their enterprises and properties.
The Abgal lamented:
“Tiin abuur, timir siib, talo huma!†:
When the Abgal came back to their senses they realized what they had done:
in their clannish craziness,
they had indeed planted the cacti cock-eyed clan of Aidids
and uprooted the sweet Majerten Darod date-bearing palm trees.
Now the Abgal, like the late Somali Ogaden Ambassador, Omar Ma’alin, believe
that only this trinity
can save Somalia
can set Somalia straight again:
“Majerten,(i.e. Darod)
Maraykan, (i.e. American)
& Moneyâ€
Whose foothold is tenoned and mortised
in the granite called
Mudulood Magnanimity.
Fortunately, the day has just dawned now in Mogadishu.
5. CAINISH : Exactly like Cain: the first fratricide.
6. Fatude: (Somali) “…sincere delusions—that is, lies which the liar believes.â€
See page 235 of John Berryman. Recovery. New York: Farar, Straus and Giroux, 1973.
A chip-on-the-shoulder delusional attitude informed by ignorance & arrogance. A Somali word meaning an attitude struck & stuck in the high lazy latitudes of the doldrums of the doo-doos of self-deception. Fatude is a child “of an idle brain, / Begot of nothing but vain fantasy...†See Romeo & Juliet . 1. iv. 97-98. It is a typical Somali Mugdi Mudug attitude of bullshit & bluster. The English tongue has borrowed many a word from the Somali tongue, such as yahoo, nag, ninny, seal, was, goose, fug, etc. I predict the English language will soon appropriate fatude. It is just a matter of time before it too begins to roll off the English tongue just like yahoo. See “A Short lesson In Comparative Languagesâ€, p. 5 of M. S. Togane. The Bottle & The Bushman: Poems of The Prodigal Son. Ste-Anne de Bellevue (Québec): The Muses’Company, 1986. Fatude aptly describes the common Somali affliction of disconnection from reality. It also means a rude, crude attitude based on farce and according to Alfred Kazin, “Farce is catastrophe without a context and without a solution.†A perfect description & definition of the Somali syndrome & the malady of Mog. See page 95 of Alfred Kazin. God & the American Writer. New York: Alfred A Knopf, 1997.
7. Fitna: An Arabic word for civil war within Islam; like the one in Somalia.
8. Gûn: (Somali: lit. bottom) A subject base born race of niggers & kaffirs. Gn is a term of abuse and only used openly when the speaker wishes to antagonize those whom he derides in this way. The opposition between gûn and gob, which might be translated loosely as aristocrats, refers specifically to the distinction between the puny and weak and the numerous and strong. But gob has a larger connotation since it is applied as a term of praise to honour the accomplishment of an admirable action. It is the word of praise given to a man whose deeds notably sustain the ideal values of the pastoralists.
Ninki faralaha frenji baa loo helay: As this Somali proverb bluntly puts it, he who is weak has found whitey as his protector. Now I understand why everywhere in Africa the message is the same: Tell the white man, tell Tarzan to come back to Africa to restore law & order. The natives are murderously rude & restless; tell whitey everything is forgiven! Tell the Queen to come back! See pages 29 and 192 of I. M. Lewis. A Pastoral Democracy: A Study of Pastoralism & Politics Among the Northern Somali of the Horn of Africa. London: Oxford University Press, 1961
9. Habar Gidir: This is
The clan of Mohamed Farah Aideed
The clannish bully
The bigot
The bore of Somalia
and of Osman Atto
His right hand man for a while
Until the Americans seduced him to turn on Aidiid
This is the clan of never-do-wells
This is the clan of NO
This is the cuckoo clan
This is the obscene obtuse obstacle clan
This is the clan of the gang of niente & nada & nyet!
This is the clan that is synonymous
with bililiqsi:
with plunder
This is the clan that became addicted to rape & rapine;
This is the clan of brigands & bigots & bores.
This is the clan that defeated every clan of Somalia except the Abgal clan, the cockney of Mogadishu.
This is the clan that has been holding Somali captive & hostage for the last seventeen years now.
This is the clan that cost Les Aspin, Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Defense, his job.
This is the clan that dealt America its biggest humiliation & defeat since the Vietnam war
This is the clan that once drew a line in the sand—the Mogadishu line
That America did not dare cross
Regardless of how she was tested and tempted and taunted by Aidid
This is the clan that once lorded over every clan in the country!
This is the clan that Ina sad Salad Boy, the bully & bigot & bore of Mogadishu hails from.
This is the clan of Aideeds
This is the Catastrophe Clan
so according to Ali Gulaid,
who still pretends to be US Ambassador
of General Jinnole
of General Jahannama
of his jinni ill-jeh Jalaf
so according to this Sham Ambassador---
“What’s the use of killing Aidid?
If he goes tomorrow you will have a million Aidids around.â€
See page 93 of Scott Peterson. Me Against My Brother: At War In Somalia, Sudan, And Rwanda:
A Journalist Reports From The Battlefields Of Africa, Routledge New York 2000.
This is the clan of Cains
This is the Klan of Kalashnikovs.
This is the clan that made Uncle Sam quit Mogadishu
with his tail caught between his legs
weeping,
lamenting:
“I Came;
I fed them;
they kicked my honky candy kaffir can!â€
"Clinton was vilified by Larry Joyce, a retired lieutenant colonel and Vietnam veteran, whose ranger son, Sergeant Casey Joyce, had been killed in Somalia. [Larry Joyce said] 'The thing that haunts me, is if it was so important to capture Mohamed Aidid when the Rangers went over there, why was it so unimportant on October 4? Now the same amateurs who orchestrated that fiasco are dishonoring every American soldier who died in Somalia and are insulting every family member who lost a loved one over there.'†See Ibid., page 161.
This is the clan that never says yes—
even to Allah;
no wonder Somalis refer to Habar Gidir as
“Gardiid
Illaah diid!â€
meaning
these are the fatherfuckers
who refuse
who refute
who reject
who dis
who despise
who dispute
the wise judgment
of God
of good sense.
When Farah Gololay asked Egal:
“How come you guys in the North have so many mothers—
Habar Awal, Habar Yonis, Habar Je’lo, etc.—
and yet
you can contain them,
you can control them,
you can coerce them
while we in the South have only one mother called Habar Gidir
and she has overwhelmed us all,
how come?â€
Egal answered:
“What you are forgetting is that the single mother you guys got in the South
is
the bitch boss mother of all the bitch boss mothers of the world!
Good luck!â€
You will really need it
now that Habarkintir has given birth to her twin,
the formidable Abgal Abukar Omar 'Addane's Habarkuulay!
10. Haran Ku Nah: The name of one of the Dukes of Disaster who belongs to the Obscene Obtuse Obstacle Klan: Habar Gidir. Literally, in Somali,
his name means
the one who battens on what is filthy & forbidden;
the one who waxes fat & fine on what is not kosher.
11. ill-jeh: A pejorative name for the Habar Gidir clan; literally it means, the ones with the torn eyes, signifying the evil nature of their soul.
12. Ina Salad Boy: AKA Abdiqasim Salad Hassan is from the Ayr sub-clan of the Habar Gidir. He is the heir of Afwayne: what he had inflicted on Somalia is
Afwaynissimo without Afwayne.
Boy signifies the historical fact that his father was a houseboy for a high-ranking Italian colonial official during the Italian administration of Somalia from 1950-1960.
Robert Hess writes on page 188 of his Italian Colonialism In Somalia. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1966:
“Nineteenth-century European attitudes toward Africans were thus preserved throughout the history of the colony.
Symptomatic of this was the Italian adoption of British terms for servants: ill boy and la boyessaâ€
The Ayr Habar Gidir clan of Ina Bad Salad boy dictated and dominated and domineered Somalia because after the fall of Afwayne they looted all the guns & weapons of the Somali nation. Militarily, they were so strong that they have even produced a first in Somali history—a female Moriyan: a war witch-bitch
named Sterling Abdi Arush (murdered in Nairobi, Kenya on October 24, 2002) the satrap of the rich coastal ancient and magnificent Italianate town of Merka Adday.
"Sterling Abdi Arush would walk fearlessly flanked by her heavily armed kinsmen to her enemies & intimidate them thus:
I am Starlin Abdi Arush of the Habar Eji clan.
Put down your gun or you will be dead by tomorrow."
See The Guardian, Monday, November 4, 2002 & The Financial Times of October 7, 2000 & “The war lady of Merca:
Somalia’s first war lady†Aug 26 1999, The Economist.
In 1992, in Mog, Sterling Abdi Aruush introduced me to her French beau, one called, Roland Marchal, who was pretending to be a scholar and a writer
but fooled no one: it was obvious to every one that he was a French bed bug: a French spook.
Later on they married and kept on marring Merca and immiserating all of the citizens of Merka and Somalia.
Shakespeare is right: Nothing in her life became her, like her leaving life when she was murdered in Nairobi, Kenya on October 24, 2002.
13. Indha'Adde: The Habar Gidir 'Ayr Hooligan and Marijuana Mogul who subjected Marka 'Adday to a Reign of Terror & Tyranny after the murder
of Sterling Arush (q. v.). Shay-tan Indha'Adde clothed his naked villainy with odd old ends stolen from the holy writ to seem a saint when he most played the devil. See UN report @
http://www.somalinet.com/news/world/English/1049 14. Jalaf Habar Gidir: The sub-sub-sub-clan of Aideed’s Habarkintir or the sept of Aideed. Their Darod Majerten counterpart & killing cousins are the Khalaf Omar Mahmud. Both dwell in the darkness & the despair of Mugdi Mudug. “When anything goes wrong in Somalia, it is a given; it is either Jalaf or Khalaf!†This astute & pithy observation of an Italian governor of Mugdi Mudug in the days of Italian colonialism, relevant to this day, now enjoys the status of a popular Somali proverb.
15. Koofiyo Dhuub: Literally in Somali it means those who sport skinny, skimpy skullcaps; that is what the Habar Gidir 'Ayr sported in the early 60s
as they battled the government in their Shifty-eyed Shifta days, in their jinni jihad for booty & bililiqsie.
16. Ma'a sokor: (Somali) Serves you right: how you like them apples.
17. MOD: The primitive & savage tribal troika, the modus operandi of Afwayne that tyrannized & terrorized Somalia for over two decades. “M stands for the patrilineage (Marrehaan) of the President; O for that of his mother—and this means the Ogaadeen people who live in the critically sensitive Ogaadeen border region of Ethiopia; and D for the Dulbahante, [‘literally he who conquered all the lands’]; the lineage of his son-in-law, aptly dubbed, Dafle, the snatcher, the head of the dreaded NSS [“Nasty Sickie Snatchers].†Afwayne's storm troopers. “The implications were succinctly expressed in a popular explanatory verbal formula: The Marrehan are drunk on power; the Dulbahante are drunk on pride; the Ogaadeen are drunk on powdered milk.’†The Powdered milk donated by international aid signifies the fact the Ogaadeen were mostly refugees from Ethiopia; Somalia was not even their country. See page 165 of Lewis’ Blood & Bone: The Call of Kinship in Somali Society. Lawrenceville, N.J.: The Red Sea Press, 1994. Moreover, Lewis wryly observes that the worst excess of this “Daarood tyranny of Mohamed Siyaad Barre†was the attempted genocide of the Isaaq clan-family whose traditional tribal turf Afwayne wanted to hand over to the Ogaadeen, his maternal uncles and cousins. “Ogaadeeni refugees were at the same time encouraged to take over Isaaq shops and houses in what, after their bombardment by Siyaad’s forces, were effectively ghost towns. Thus, those who had been earlier received as refugee guests in northern Somaliland had supplanted their Isaaq hosts, and many of the latter, in this bitterest ironic turn of fate, had become refugees in the Ogadeen.†Ibid., 226. No wonder now the Northerners had seceded from our once solemn & sacred Somali Union & now taunt us Southerners as faqash: pigs & contemptible clowns & collaborators & coons & quislings of that foolish fiend, Afwayne. Conveniently forgetting that Egal, their late president, publicly confessed that indeed he was once a prominent member of Afwayne’s faqash!
Conveniently forgetting that many of Afwayne’s most trusted henchmen were not only northerns but also from the Issaaq clan-family!
Afwayne & the evil machinations of his Darod monster, MOD, destroyed Somali unity & led directly to what we Somalis are witnessing & suffering now: statelessness & no rule of law & the violent fragmentation of the once proud Somali nation into filthy factious fractious fiefdom Bantustans. What obtains right now in merciless Mog is the last gasp of the gangsterism & the goonism & the gûn-nisim of Afwayne’s rump regime, of his heirs, Ayrs, hellions, hellers & Hutu Hawiye camp followers. I hasten to add & underscore that no Somali clan (including the Issaaq) is innocent: each & every Somali clan contributed their fat fair share of clowns & clones & coons & crows & cronies & cowards & collaborators & quislings & lickspittles & cringers & tools & fools & flatterers & timeservers & toadies to dance with the dictator his dance macabre & mollycoddle his Darod MOD, the Somali Afwayne Frankenstein.
18. Mudug: Mudug: The area of Somalia where all the evils that are plaguing Somalia right now are cultivated & cathected; the area where they grow monsters, midgets, morons, & other assorted Moriyaans & their mindless managers & manipulators like Afwayne, Aidiid, Morgan, Abdullahi Yusuf, Galayrd, Atto & the Salad Boy atop his Darod greedy goat from Garowe: Hassan Abshir.
19. Mugdi: (Somali) Darkness, Despair & Evil; Ignorance & Arrogance of Mudug (q.v.).
20. Nin Belaya Creed: Niman Belaaya: (Somali) Men or rather Dunces of Disasters. Singular: Nin Belaaya: A Dunce of Disasters. Lewis wrote on page 198
of A Pastoral Democracy: A Study of Pastoralism and Politics Among the Northern Somali of the Horn of Africa. London: Oxford University Press, 1961:
“Popularity and political influence are the result of a totality of different attributes important amongst which are hospitality (which should go with wealth), wisdom, and those various qualities of strength, courage and skill in political affairs which are summed up by the word belaayo. The word means "disaster" or "catastrophe", but what is disastrous to adversaries is often advantageous to one's self, and it is in this sense that bellayo is a term of praise for a man whose actions come near to the ideals of Somali belligerence, independence, daring and panache. When Somali refer to a person as bellayo, they mean that he fulfills their ideals of manly hardihood and distinction. And what wealth and weight of kinship many not ensure, agility in the conduct of affairs, and the skillful manipulation of jealousies and ambitions, may achieve.â€
In 1992, in Mogadishu, on my visit to Aidiid, I would often hear a Habar Gidir goon declare,
"Wajiga Jananka iyo wajiga Ilahey":
I swear
by the face of my Aidid generalissimo and
by the face of Allah that what I am saying is the truth!
In another words Aideed was coequal with Allah!
What a blasphemy!
This proves my assertion that all Somalis cathect, cultivate and indeed worship their KKK and their nin belaya.
These Somali sayings significantly certify the legitimacy of what I am asserting here:
Tol iyo fardo, toll baan doortay: Of my clan & wealth, I chose my clan.
And
Fiqi tolkee kama janna tago: A learned divine won’t go to paradise without his clan!

21. Osman Atto: Or Atto, a Somali word meaning skinny; but alas, Osman Atto is now obese. He is the Al Capone of Mogadishu with strong ties to American oil interests; the main mogul & mugger of mad Mog. Osman Atto the moneybag puppeteer who was behind Aideed senior until the Americans turned him against Aideed; the drug kingpin of Somalia; capo di tutti capi di tutti lazarone di Somalia: the godfather, the Fagin of all the thugs, thieves, pickpockets, pimps, looters, muggers, murderers, rapists & wreckers of Somalia; the Somali Habarkintir Attila the Hun; the Numero Uno War Criminal of Somalia
who stripped
who denuded
Somalia and all of Somalis
their dignity
their integrity.
This is the ogre
who destroyed
all of Somalia's infrastructure
all of Somalia's amenities
all of Somalia's things of substance
that Somalia once possessed
by mercilessly sacking it back to the stone age.
He was the chief Prince thief of the Forty Thieves of Ali Baba Galayrd& Ina Bad Salad Boy
who tried to establish his Ayr Habarkintir kleptocracy throughout the country.
22. Tabar: (Somali) Might and main; power; brawn.
