Mogadishu (Caasimada Online) – The former Director of the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), and a Member of the Federal Parliament of Somalia, Abdullahi Mohamed Ali Sanbaloolshe has issued a statement addressing the tension in the Hiiraan region, which arose from the recent elections in HirShabelle.
The tension, particularly in Beledweyne, has now escalated, with increasing military movements being felt in the city, causing concern among the local population.
Sanbaloolshe elaborated on the historical, political, and military role that the people of Hiiraan have played during various phases of the country, with his report titled “Somalis say ‘the people of Hiiraan are hated, the people of Hiiraan kill’”
He also called on the people of Hiiraan to unite and demonstrate their strength, in order to obtain rights that he stated are lacking.
Read the full statement below;
The Sayid was asked: “Who is stronger, Hawiye or Daarood?” It is said that he replied: “The group that the people of Hiiraan are with.”
The Sayid did not say “the people of Hiiraan are not Hawiye, but his statement is limited to whoever is in conflict being from Hiiraan.” It can be inferred the role that the people of Hiiraan played in the power and struggle of Somalia or Hawiye.
Now, review history!
Who awakened Hawiye from Ajuuraan? Who opposed Cali Yuusuf? Who fought the Sayid? Who resisted the Revolution? Who showed that Al-Shabaab can be defeated?
Now you tell me of a region other than Hiiraan that played a similar role in those struggles!
General Caydiid could not fight against the regime of Mr. Siyaad without the support of the people of Hiiraan. From Muqdisho to Hiiraan and the border with Kenya, he relied on military support and connections. When that support diminished or was lost, his power faced significant challenges.
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud also faced opposition from the people of Hiiraan; today what he has and what he has gained in politics is part of the historical and political debate that needs to be evaluated.
The people of Hiiraan have a history, struggle, and political support that cannot be ignored.
Anyone who hates the people of Hiiraan should learn their history; anyone who opposes them should know that what they are opposing is the history itself.
I do not say “the people of Hiiraan kill” but rather people have said it before. The people of Hiiraan should unite and show their strength!
