Mogadishu
(Sunatimes) Top TFG leadership and Hawiye traditional elders have condemned the
annual report from International Crisis Group (ICG), stating that businessman
Ahmednur Ali Jimale is part of Al Shabab terrorists.
The report which was published on the UN website adds that the
mobile money transfer known as ZAAD, closed by Al Shabab, was established by
Ahmednur in order financial transactions of Al Shabab are untraceable.President Sharif and Prime
Minister Abdiweli wrote complaint to the international community, describing
the contents of the report as untrue propaganda.Prime Minister Abdiweli said that the
ICG report is part of the campaign of Matthew Bryden against sovereignty of
Somalia.“We understand
that Bryden’s wife hails from Isaq Clan, and possesses Somaliland passport
rather than Somali passport, we know that he reflects the propaganda and the
will of his in-laws particularly Dahabshil which was behind the closure of
their competitors Al Barakat, and whose current intention is to close Hawiye
money transfer agencies” said Hawiye traditional elders’ council chairman
Mohamed Hassan Haad.
Haad called Hawiye to face Bryden’s propaganda against prominent
Hawiye businessmen and politicians.After one day the Propaganda Report of ICG Somalia, The Security Council
officially announced that Ahmednur Ali Jimale has been removed from the list of
the terrorists.
The
ICG report seems to be 85% unrealistic which targets every year Hawiye
businessmen and politicians.
The report said that ZAAD service was created in favor of Al
Shabab, but the truth is that Al Shabab shut down the service, accusing that is
serves the interest of the west. Secondly, the maximum amount of money that can
be sent through ZAAD was $150.This
showsthat Al Shabab could
not use it as financial channel.The
report also accused Hormuud Telecom that the company contributes to Al
Shabab.Independent
investigation revealed that the majority of the company shares belongs to more
that 5000 Somali national from different walks of life.Should Hormuud supports Al Shabab it
couldn’t have won a large number of anti-Al Shabab customers.It seems the report favors for
Dahabshil whose fight against Hawiye companies has many faces.On top of
that, ZAAD service was business threat to Dahabshil.The only mistake of Hormud is not to
respond to such propagandas as ICG report which was partially seen from tribal
media, and its true that Bryden’s wife is a Somalilander and he is a Somaliland
passport holder.
