Recently, Osman Hassan, a self-proclaimed “spokesman” (or a cyberspace militant) for the violent Khatumo militia, in the small village of Taleh, in Sool region, published an article, a bag of meaningless accusations, entitled, “Somaliland occupying militia gang-rape 13-year old girl in Sool “. But do these accusations don’t hold water and you will be surprised!

As usual, Mr. Hassan’s emotions precede his arguments. Moreover, almost the entire content of any of his articles is predictable. It is all about Somaliland this, Somaliland that; one-clan entity this, one-clan entity that…etc. (For reasons that even baffle my eighty-eight-year-old grandmother, Mr. Hassan has fetish for recycling the same stale, palpable propaganda.)

Evidently, Mr. Hassan, you have problems with Somaliland and its quest for statehood, but what you lack is clear solution to your problems. You also lack the ability to convince your readers, both anti-Somaliland and pro-Somaliland, to support your argument. So you must resort to the blaming game.

According to you, Mr. Hassan any incident that happens in Sool region, including earthquakes, must be blamed on Somaliland or as you like to put it, or in fact your articles clearly state, without reading between the lines: “The evil Iidoor clans”.

That is, any wrong doings by other clans in Somaliland is clearly swept under the carpet, and “The evil Iidoors” are to be blamed for everything. And this is exactly why your writing is self-defeating. It is too subjective and lacks pragmatic solution.

Take as an example, your latest article entitled, “Somaliland occupying militia gang-rape 13-year old girl in Sool “ You have accused the Somaliland army or as you would like to put it, the one-clan entity (“The evil Iidoors”), of gang raping and beheading a young girl, named Halimo Hussein Warsame; not to mention that, to stir emotions, you have equated this cruel act to the one that happened recently in India, where a young girl was brutally raped by ruthless gangs.

Comparing the two crimes is perfectly fine, however; what you have conveniently chose to ignore is that the fact the killers don’t belong to Somaliland army. Worse yet, the killers of Haliimo don’t hail from “The evil Iidoor clans” but hail from none other than the clan of the victim, Haliimo. Yes, the killers and rapists of Haliimo are indeed from the Dhulbahante clans. The evidence comes from none other than your militant, “Khatumo”. Just listen to this audio clip aired by your faction’s, “Khatumo” warlords in the area.  (Or http://www.kalshaale.com/?page_id=6634 )

 

How shocking is it that the accuser and the debunker are members of the Khatumo faction. Clearly, the Khatumo faction talks out of both sides of its mouth. (Or is this just one occasion where you agree to disagree, respectfully?)

The Khatumo warlord, Mohamed Duale, in the audio clip clearly states, “The killers of Haliimo belong to the Dhulbahante clans and they are members of Ciidan Beeleed (a clan militia) that are aligned with Somaliland”. There are three indisputable facts: first. Ciidan Beeleed is not necessarily associated with Somaliland army. Nor do they take orders from the Somaliland army. It is the clan leaders that control the militia. Hence, that is why they are called: Ciidan Beeleed, and not Somaliland army. Second, the killers don’t belong to “The Iidoor clans”, despite the disinformation that Mr. Hassan would like to shove down your throats.Third, these clan militia are often on all sides of the fence, depending who is offering them the bigger paycheck. In fact, they could be on the Somaliland’s, on the Khatumo militant’s, and on the Puntland’s payrolls, at the same time, milking all three sides.So, in reality, the perpetrators that brutally raped and beheaded Haliimo could have been members of the Khatumo faction that recently defected to Somaliland but still negotiating with Somaliland.Ironically,ignoring the reality on the ground and convoluting the real issue is often what makes the “Khatumo” faction the laughing stock of the century. (No wonder why your deceptive writings are only published on the clan-oriented sites, namely wardheernews.com—a site that readers will doubt if its proofreaders are alive!)

Surely, the killers are members of “Ciidan Beeleed” who are either aligned with Somaliland’s quest for independence, ideologically, or simply they are supporting Somaliland because they could not resist being on Somaliland army’s payroll.

Ciidan Beeleed as you know is a group of rag-tag militants that are not fully part of an army but could be integrate into the army in the near future, after of course they are trained and taught the army’s code of ethics, where they are sworn to protect the public.

A similar scenario happened few years ago in LasAnnod, the provincial capital of Sool region. A young mother, who just gave birth few days before she was attacked, was raped in the outskirt of LasAnnod. The clan Media from Sool jumped on the wagon, blaming the usual suspects: the Somaliland army and “The evil Iidoors”. Luckily, it was the Somaliland army that apprehended the rapists and diffused the tension between the victim’s clan and perpetrators’.

As it turned out, however, the poor mother was raped by none other than her close clan members. (The evil Iidoors were off the hook! How disappointing!) She was Dhulbahante and so were her rapists. And they were not part of the Somaliland army either.

The brutal truth is: if you want to play your Ace Card, the clan card, the killers and rapists of Haliimo are closer to you in terms of clan identity than they are affiliated to other people reading this article. Yet, everyone else is to be blamed except you.  Does the Somali expression, “Hasha geela cunta ee hadana cabaada…or the female camel that bites other camels, yet it screams” ring a bell? Of course not!

In a nutshell, not only are you politicizing an isolated incident or trying to ignite clan animosities between the brotherly people of Somaliland, but you are also spreading: FITNAH (an evil action). The murderers and rapists of Haliimo shocked the Somaliland people. We are all saddened by the senseless tragedy that struck her. But using this tragedy as a fuel to ignite an inferno in the region, while you reside in a comfortable home, in the heart of Europe, is not only selfish but is also cowardice.

Doubtless, the Khatumo’s campaign of terror in the region, attacking security forces and assassinating officials, is compelling many young men in Sool region to cling to their guns. Sadly, sometimes these gunmen spare no one. Disarming the last pocket of the Khatumo militant, peacefully, is the only hope for these gun-toting youth that took Halima’s life and for the countless young girls that could fall prey to these gun men. As for your latest accusation: it is a real double-edged sword, isn’t it?

  1. Facts in big letters on the spring board for all to reason with, thanks to the Author.
    Shame, Sham and despicable to the khaatumo lies, propaganda, and their vicious wicked
    ideological warfare.
    Cheers.

    • my brother for the first time make some sense and stop talking out of your ass khaatumo state is a regional administrations like somaliland and puntland.

  2. "A drowning man will clutch a straw" that is last resort of Khatumo wallowing. Never mind, let live mouth speak and a dog bark. Let the evil khatumo say whatever they think would smear Somaliland's reputation.
    Apart from a religious doctrine, we have an ethical tradition, that forbids us to do certain shames, like rape, naked accusations to a tribe or its likes. We have enough patience that can withstand such senseless/baseless accusations.

  3. Read it carefully contradicts itself, since they won't let me comment properly. (aligned with Somaliland)

  4. really you guys are worrying about others with all mess you have in your hands please spent your time where is need it btw this despicable animal jaarso I will leave that to those whom their mothers are dhuloz and share blood with him to give the appropriate answer because I don't feel like answer to this filthy pig.

  5. I guess they hate it when, some one shows a bit commonsense, and start's putting whole's in their articles.

    Here's a question why is it that all the articles are always related to Issaq's, you never hear anything from any other Somalilander, of course except when it has to do with Khaatumo militants.

    • Dont you daroods know it is haram to accuse people of rape and other horrific crimes when they haven't done it. Say staqfurullah and beg for forgiveness my nig nog.

      • budyy this article state's that the milltia in question are Dhulos but they are aligned with Somaliland, so in my eyes its the same thing. If you let a group roam around and do what the like because they are your allies, that makes you a party to what ever offences they commit, in this case rape and murder.

        Here it is.

        “The killers of Haliimo belong to the Dhulbahante clans and they are members of Ciidan Beeleed (a clan militia) that are aligned with Somaliland”. There are three indisputable facts: first. Ciidan Beeleed is not necessarily associated with Somaliland army. Nor do they take orders from the Somaliland army. It is the clan leaders that control the militia. Hence, that is why they are called: Ciidan Beeleed, and not Somaliland army.

  6. Separatists are always complain how this site is biased, I guess they're not satisfied with their Darood,, Faqash bashing, lol.

      • I'm Laughing at how stupid you are and the likes of you, who praise themselves for not doing the act of raping this girl, yet ignore the very fact that the very article it self, says that the militia the did this heinous crime are aligned with your Goverment, I guess this girl being Darood, Dhulo makes it okay and you wonder why Khaatumo hate's ya guts.

        • However, you stupid! do not blame Issack clan, for your own crime. Unless you consider yourselves as an inferior clan to Issack and you want the world community to know that even your own crime is blamed on your superior clan.

  7. The perpetrators of this heinous crime may have escaped punishment from this earth but Allah (SWT) will punish him severe when he gets buried.

    Allahu Akbar!!!

  8. my earlier comment were not for the author. it was for the following cast of characters who always have nothing else but bad mouth other somali people concern just to make it clear.

  9. Osman Hassan is the oldest barefaced liar of Somali origin alive today, and everyone knows this. He lost credibility a long long time ago, so I am surprised that Dalmar Kahin and Saleban Egeh are wasting precious time on a retarded P.O.W.

  10. I'm not endorsing what this author is saying but he made one valid point which is dhuloz need to stop killing each other because there's nothing to fight over let those who wants play housemaid play in the end nobody is going anywhere does means the problem entirely will go away no it means the community has to get smarter and see whose benefits from this chaos got it.

    • You have no principles, and faith to tell the truth. You and your govenment know how to do immoral and flatenning things. you destroyed the whole nation of Somalia. Now you are destroying the stability of the Nothern regions of somalia. Raping, Masacaring of civilians and corruption is your motos. Remember Dhulbahante has history and the history will repeat itself soon. Your alcoholic uncle will lead you to your doomsday soon. Go and get life wash you stinky hole beach.

      • Hello Farah Jibriil
        First of you confused Alcoholic Stop using to many names. Malcolm X said "There is two kind of Negros field Negros and House Negros There is no problem with Field Negros because he knows what difficulty he is going through and he would go through anything to earn Self Respect but House Negros think he is a member of the house so he is used to begging and uses phrases like Are we sick master." We know what category you fall into you have been begging your master to get recognized. Somaliland will never be recognized as a independent country. So you turned into a campaign of terror against people who don't share the same stupid vision you have . And who don't want to betray there nation. What do you have left at your disposal calling people names and creating problems that don't exist. And the smell you talking about is that women around you I am a Muslim I am always clean.!!!
        Idiot

  11. @Jaarso I understand you have no value of women since you sold all your diana faced sisters to the backpackers in exchange for never coming recognition but mark my words the rapers of irresistible Halima, who chose to die than give her p u s sy for free will pay their blood written on walls. if the perpetrators belong to Dhulbahante clans which is highly doubtful we will hang them in broad daylight, we don't tolerate such a behavior. if it's done by non-dhulbahante, this means a full scale war and at least 20 men must die in her position.

  12. Mr.Kahin,

    As always, you have shown the world community what this so-called Khatoumoseeg stand for.Here is this guy in the audio, praising Allah the almighty and then lie about this crime. He very well knows that his clan committed this crime, but in order for him to agitate others, he smear the name of Somaliland armed forces. And as usual it backfired against them.

    Please, fear no one but Allah, and speak the truth. Otherwise, do not use the name of SWT and boldly lie.

    • You have no principles, and faith to tell the truth. You and your govenment know how to do immoral and flatenning things. you destroyed the whole nation of Somalia. Now you are destroying the stability of the Nothern regions of somalia. Raping, Masacaring of civilians and corruption is your motos. Remember Dhulbahante has history and the history will repeat itself soon.

      • First of all, you need to Improve your writing skill. Secondly, if I may have understood you well, you are not denying that your clan committed this crime, however the situation, then why do you swear in the name of Allah wata alla, that it was the Issack clan who did it? Why not admit that this innocent girl was gang raped and murdered by none other than her own clan, how happened to support Somaliland causes.

        If you admit this, I will agree with you. Please, stop blaming another clan while your own clan committed this crime.

  13. I belive in the right of self determination of the people and i think that all the people have the right to choose their destiny
    Im dhulbahante but my mom is isaaq so i can’t hate my reer abti and my relatives on my mother’s side but i support khatuumo and as a citizen from sool,sanaag and cayn i want to reunite with somalia

    If somaliland has the right tu seperate from somalia then khatuumo has the right to separate from somaliland and rejoin somaliland
    I have nothing against somaliland independence but i dont want to be a part of somaliland,if you want you can make your own state but without khaatumo

    I dont want to be part of somaliland cause i love my somali people and i dont respect fake borders made by gaalo english and italian people to divide somalis
    They want us to be divided so they can exploit us

    Ethiopia created SNM,USC AND SSDF to destroy the somali governemnt
    Im darood but i do not support siad barre’s crimes against isaaq but i think that he was a true wadani even Siilanyo was a miniser in siad barre governement and Dahir riyale kahin was head of the somali national security service
    With siad barre somalia had 22 years of peace without him 22 years if war

    I still belive in somaliweyn and in th ideas of SYL and in sayid muhammad abdulle hassan ideology i want a united somalia
    But i know that isaaq are against reunification….i think that is wrong to force somaliand to join somalia and in the same way it is wrong to force khatuumo to be a part of somaliland
    We will fight just like SNM against siad barre dictatorship or just like Eritrean EPLF against menghistu
    FREE KHAATUMO
    PEACE FOR SOMALIA/SOMALILAND AND THE WHOLE AFRICAN CONTINENT
    Assalumu aleykum
    Sorry for my bad english

    • Buuxiye,

      Why don't you apply the same principles that you outlined here when we talk about your misguided Garadag/Garanwaa project? Does the rules only apply when people tell you 'take a hike and I don't want to be part of your separatism" only?.

      I know for sure you will invent a country that never existed to back track from your position. Buuxiye, Know if you want to divide Somalia on the basis of tribal grievances, everyone else has that same right? I hope you can at least understand that much instead of repeating your 2-way state solution like a broken record forever and forever.

  14. If somaliland has the right to seperate from somalia then khatuumo has the right to separate from somaliland and rejoin somalia

    • – Dir has the right to separate from Moqadishu's AMisomia-Colony.

      – Rahanweyn will use that same Break away rule to find freedom.

      – Darood will never share a country with only Hawiye

      – Bajuni and Barwani will want nothing to do with you either.

      🙂 No my Friend 1960 2-Countries joined and those two countries will split fair and free along the same borders… No further changes will be allowed!

      Sticking with colonial borders is the safest option for all somalis… 🙂 trust me.

      • The onlu somali region who wants independence is somaliland
        I said it before
        You can not force khatuumo to be a part of somaliland
        Im darood and i have no problem with hawiye cause im not tribalist

        Khaatumo people have the right to choise their destiny
        You complain about siad barre’s crimes against isaaq but at the same time you kill the people of khaatumo who want freedom

        I dont respect fake colonial borders made with a ruler to separate us because im not a slave
        Somalia has the a lot of problems but i still want to join somalia
        Like it or not khaatumo will never accept somaliland

        If you want independence take burco, berbera and hargeysa and ask for recognization
        But stop claiming us

        • Fake Somaliwiyen I never understand why harti like playing great warrior in Somaliland while in same time they behave as very kind boy in Ethiopia, in other side of Buhoodle where Habashi flag fly high.. Boy if u get problem with Issaq and still think a country is built on tribal basis then ur are free to join ur Darood brothers either in Koonfur or by habashi and bantu country which Ur clan prefer to be ruled loll ..but Somaliland is there to stay forever. No more BS somalinimo love, unity. For info Issaq in SL respect colonial border as their clan live also in Djibouti,Ethiopia and Kenya. Viva 3 somali states and 2 somali region.

          • I do not care if you isaaq people respect colonial borders made by your white english master
            As a dhulbahante o dont want somaliland and i’ll never accept somaliland

  15. somalis occupying another somalis or munafiqs (SNM) occupying another muslims.

    The only way to cast out the Ethiopian stooge (SNM) from Somalia is an all war till they reach the gate of zimbabwe.

  16. Somaliland militias are criminal terrorist group if you didn't know before. they will rape their own mothers just to get what they want by dividing our country. a year ago I was in Buuhodle a men killed his own my mother in Burco for revenge because his uncle got killed in Sooljoogto. you see these are the savages we are dealing with.
    waxaa ka sii liita kuwa dadkooda iyo dhulkooda kusoo hogaaminaya qashinka, especially reer lascanood. this is a wake up call and should be spread all Dhulbahante regions and all over the world. Dhlubahante waa inuu hurdada ka tooso. this is no longer Khaatumo militia vs Somaliland militia but evil vs good therefore their blood is halal for us.

    • Look what you said in your above so called comment. "a year ago I was in Buuhodle a men killed his own my mother in Burco for revenge because his uncle got killed in Sooljoogto."

      Better for you not to make here any further nonsenical comments. Waxaad tahayba hadalkaaga ayaa laga fahmey, yaa xawayaan!

  17. @ Crack Baby aka Kaboon

    Buddy this article state's that the militia in question are Dhulos but they are aligned with Somaliland, so in my eyes its the same thing. If you let a group roam around and do what the like because they are your allies, that makes you a party to what ever offences they commit, in this case rape and murder.

    Here it is.

    “The killers of Haliimo belong to the Dhulbahante clans and they are members of Ciidan Beeleed (a clan militia) that are aligned with Somaliland”. There are three indisputable facts: first. Ciidan Beeleed is not necessarily associated with Somaliland army. Nor do they take orders from the Somaliland army. It is the clan leaders that control the militia. Hence, that is why they are called: Ciidan Beeleed, and not Somaliland army.

    • @ tell-me-who-my father-is

      These rape lies are completely made up, so you havent got a leg to stand up on. Secondly if a patriotic dhulo kills terrorist from buqland then so be it, most people in laas canood are waving the somaliland flag my friend. They are getting free education, better health care and more development then the last 30 years and those people will not let few issaq hating daroods to ruin that.

  18. Folks, you have too much energy talking without real solutions. But I have also my too much
    energy to talks. de jure Somaliland remains sacrosanct(Muqadis)..that's my too much energy
    mohahahaha
    Cheers.

    • You are qosol very funny

      You want to separate from somalia but you dont allow other clans to separate from somaliland

      Somalia is also sacrosant and the world recognize somalia’s border

      Khaatumo wants to join somalia
      We will never be a part of somaliland
      We dont want you we dont need you
      Stop claiming us

  19. Rape is disgusting and using this young girls situation for political reasons is also equally disgusting! I hope both C l ans come out and say enough is enough when it comes to the media outright lies need to stop and the country as a while needs to hold hate spreading media outlets for any murders, etc that their false reporting leads to.

    • You still talking I left a message for you when you were pretending to know who is a parasite is and who is not. Before you continue to add more of your useless comments you need to attempt to answer that question if you can.

      • I am sorry I dont make it a habit of following people who spread hatred and then complain when others call them on it. After all who was it spreading the lies in this situation? Is what I said off base when how you call act on this site constantly backs when I post?

        • Your useless you come up with a bunch of questions and can't even back them up.. Your completely not making sense. And I make a habit of spreading hatred and complain when people call me on it. I called you on it idiot so before you speak think about the words coming out of your mouth because there completely ridiculous and stupid.
          Ciao 🙂

  20. Tellmanutz,

    There are Iraqi and Afghanistan millitias that are aligned with the U.S. forces. So then should we conclude these millitants are part of the U.S. forces?

    DAMIIN far waa wayn ayaa wax loogu qoraa! You asked for it, you little desert bafoon!

    As for the article in question, it shows the onse who raped the girl and the onse who are crying for her are indeed the same people. But they are accusing the Somaliland army and other clans of commiting the crime. Give me a break!. The audio clip clears any doubts!

  21. Events like this will only further divide the already distant relations between the Dhulbahante. It is in everyone's interest that Dhulbahante find peace among themselves. United and confident in themselves it they who will appreciate the importance of peace.

    – Pro-Somalia dhulos
    – Pro-Ethiopia dhulos
    – Pro-Somaliland dhulos

    They should find a way to form a united [SES] with Territorial interests that cross 3-STATES in the Horn of AFRICA and maximize their influence in the region.

    Say No to being [Socks] for other people 🙂

  22. @ son of somaliland

    I was originally gonna reply in your fashion, but have decided not too, but i will say this. The Man who feels he is Superior then any one else, is showing the traits and quality's of Iblis (Shaitan).

    So if the point of this article is to distance your self's and say we had nothing to do with this, then why in it, claim that these people are aligned and loyal to S/Land, That right there opens you up to being a party in the crime, if your friend rapes and kills and you don't say or do anything, then you are just as guilty, It wasn't me won't cut it.

    Here's some free advice.

    If your gonna use others to do your dirty work at least have total denial ability, never say things like the perpetrators are aligned with the government, I'm just saying if your gonna do something you might as well do it right.

  23. You have no principles, and faith to tell the truth. You and your govenment know how to do immoral and flttening things. you destroyed the whole nation of Somalia. Now you are destroying the stability of the Nothern regions of somalia. Raping, Masacaring of civilians and corruption is your motos. Remember Dhulbahante has history and the history will repeat itself soon.

    • Dhuloz are funny i know faqash like u are still angry becoz of SNM and how u lose power. Boy u cannot do anything in Ethiopia same for Somaliland.

      • She's back with her garbage and nonsense comments keep thinking you have friend call Ethiopia let me inform you something you're nothing more than bargaining chip for Ethiopia so the only thing left for people is to reminisce what happened 30 ago. Which has no coloration to anything happening today.
        So you're irreverent to the present conversation that's taking place among Somalia people.
        Ciao

  24. You have no principles, and faith to tell the truth. You and your govenment know how to do immoral and flatenning things. you destroyed the whole nation of Somalia.

Remember Dhulbahante has history and the history will repeat itself soon.

  25. The sick alcoholic president of you regional government will miss lead you to your doom. He knows one thing only Hate. He hates everybody else except his Habarjeclo subclan members.

  26. if Somali-land is creating the insecure in that region therefore it Could be accused that they responsibility for every killing and rape.

  27. Guys the good news is one of paedophiles was shot to death and the rest are being hunted down like rats in the dirt by the child's family. one thing is for sure this young girl's blood will not go in vain.

    and Let's cool down for a second, Rape happens all over Somalia It's worth mentioning SSC regions is said to have one of the Lowest rates of rape and related crimes, it happens once in every 5 -10 years.

    Having said that Mr Kaahin is trying to spread war and hatred between the brotherly people of Khaatumo state, the leaders should work on gaining public trust and do whatever it takes them to stop reviving the colonial garbage, everything else Secessionist Administration is to blame for not only did they bring war to the region but also Dhaqan xumo.

    for what it's worth I personally don't blame this act on a particular tribe in North Somalia, it's done by few Looma oyaans who's just dying for a bundle of khat, that's why nobody claims their bodies when they die in our regions.

  28. Its so called Khaatumo terrorist who are poisoning the politics of this region. Somaliland Republic will not allow these gangs and their leaders to spread their hate filled ideology in our country. Dalmar Kahin presents a powerful analysis of Osman Hassan's never ending cheap articles that have no other purpose to serve except to demonize Somaliland people and glorify it's enemies.
