War criminals around the world run away from their
country for cover, for a haven, for a refuge, for a
place to hide, for anywhere in the world, far from their
homeland; whereas our Somali war criminals stay at home,
survive and thrive and commit more mischief, and
PERPETRATE
MORE UNSPEAKABLE
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, WHY?
Why is it that Osman Caato, Hussein Aideed, Morgan, Egal,
Toor, Abdullah Yusuf, Gaani---add the name of your bete
noir Somali warlord---Why are they sitting
pretty in Somalia adding more grief and gaff, more gloom
and doom, more mayhem and murder to their already endless
considerable chronicles of crime against Somalis and Somalia
and humanity?
The answer:
Because they are enjoying the moral and the material support
of their clans who are
HAWIYE
DAROD
ISSAAQ
If there is any Darod who is any good
why doesn't he go and up and kill Abdullahi Yusuf and become
the hero of the Somali people?
If there is any Hawiye who is any good
why doesn't he go and up and kill Caato and become the hero
of the Somali race?
If there is any Issaaq who is any good
why doesn't he go and up and kill Egal and become the hero
of the Somali race?
FORGET ABOUT KILLING THEM, WHY DON'T THEY JUST MAKE IT CRYSTAL
CLEAR, LOUD AND CLEAR, THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE CLANS DON'T
SUPPORT THEM THEREBY DISOWNING THEM AND DISASSOCIATING THEM
AND ISOLATING THEM FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE CLANS?
BECAUSE:
All Darods feel as guilty as Abdullahi Yusuf and therefore
love him and keep him in their midst to commit more crimes,
to bring more mayhem and murder, more belaayo;
all Hawiye admire Caato as their hero--that is why he is
still strutting around in Somalia to commit more crimes,
more mayhem and murder, to bring more belaayo;!
all Issaaq admire Egal--that is why Egal feels safe and
secure and cozy and comfortable well ensconced in the bosom
of his clan to commit more crimes, more mayhem and murder,
to bring more belaayo;!
LEWIS IS RIGHT:
Popularity and political influence are the result of ...
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.
That is why I despise and abuse
all Darod
all Hawiye
all Issaaq
ROOT AND BRANCH
all men who brought disaster and who are still bringing
disaster upon all Somalis and all of Somalia!
Now I understand why the black American writer, Keith Richburg,
called Somalis "the stupidest, the dumbest people on
the face of the earth" because Somalis STILL worship
and STILL admire and praise men of disaster; that is why
Somalis AND SOMALIA keep on stepping into one disaster after
another!
BELAAYO NEE QAADAY WABA NEE QAADAYE!
MAY DISASTER CARRY YOU AWAY SINCE IT HAS ALREADY CARRIED
YOU AWAY!
....
CLANISM IS THE MOST INSIDIOUS FORM OF RACISM!
THE WORST AND THE MOST INSIDIOUS RACISTS IN THE WORLD I
HAVE EVER MET
ARE:
DAROD
HAWIYE
ISSAAQ
HAVE YOU EVER MET
OR
HEARD OF
ONE SINGLE DAROD
ONE SINGLE HAWIYE
ONE SINGLE ISSAAQ
OBJECTING
CONDEMNING
AS AN INDIVIDUAL
THE CRIMES COMMITTED
THE ENORMITIES ENJOINED
IN THE COLLECTIVITY OF HIS CLAN?
NO!
THAT IS WHY I REPEAT
BELAAYO NEE QAADAY WABA NEE QAADAYE!
MAY DISASTER CARRY YOU AWAY SINCE IT HAS ALREADY CARRIED
YOU
AWAY!
