Gaakacyo, Somalia, Agoosto 17, 2004 - Somali Peace Rally ¡V maanta waa sannad guuradii 2aad ee dilkii Suldaankii qaaliga ahaa ee ilaalada Cabdullahi Yusuf ku dishay Kalabayr ¡VPuntland. Waxaa Suldaan Hurre u dhintay, asagoo ka hor yimid kaligitaliye-nimada Abdullahi Yusuf iyo fakir kiisa oo ka duwanaa kan Kornaylka oo keliya.

Waxaa la wada ogyahay in Cabdullahi joogay meel u muuqata goobta Suldaanka lagu dilay asna lahaa amarka ilaalada sida waxashnimada ah ku dishay Suldaanka.

Dhimashada dad door ah sida Suldaan Hurre iyo Col. Faarax dheere waxay noqotay mid aanba la isweydiin ee aan ciduba baarin xaqiiqdeeda, maxaa yeelay waxay xaqiiqdu farta ku fiiqin ninka sheeganaya inuu ka taliyo Puntland. Caddaaladda Cabdullahi iyo xukunkiisa waxaa calaamad u ah inaan la xirin ninka asag taageersan ee fal-dambiyeed gala, xitaa dilka Isim heer qaran ah. Waxaa jirtay in Cabdullahi xabsiga Gaalkacyo iyo Burtinle ka sii daayey dad dil loo haystay waayo waxay ahaayeen taageerayaashisa. Maansha'allah, Maxamed Siyaad wuxuu noqon fardo kula carar marka Kornaylka la bar-bardhigo.

Dilkii foosha xumaa ee Suldaan Hurre ma noqon doono mid la iska illaawo, waa sida ay ku riyoonayaa Cabdullahi Yuusuf iyo xertiisuye. Waa qaddiyad ay u taagan yihiin intii taqiin, intii baratay intuu dhintay inuu ahaa hal-yey Somaliyeed, iyo inta u dhiidhida xaquuqul iinsaanka, ilaa caddaaladdu aragto iftiinka waabberiga, lana keena gacan ku dhiiglayaasha maxkamad.

SPR waxay soo dhawaynaysaa maxkamadda kaga furan Kornaylka dalka UK oo dhawaan gaartay guul la taaban karo. Taasi waxay keentay dareen ah inaan dad la iska layn karin adduunkana la mushaaxi karin, aydoo weliba gacmahaaga dhiig ka da'ayo. London,oo ahayd meeshii Suldaanku degganaa, waxay muujisay dadaal loogu hambalyeyn karo. Waxaa SPR ugu yeeraysaa bulshada caalamka in kiiska Suldaan Hurre loo dhiibo maxkamad xaquuqul iinsaan sida tan Caruusha, si ay tusaale ugu noqoto tacaddiga ka dhacay Geeska Afrika.

Waxaan Somaalida uga digaynaa xasuus gaabni. Waa in laga digtoonaadaa qof doonaya inuu wax ku xukumo xoog iyo qoriga caaraddiisa. Taasi waa tan meesha ina dhigtay. Dilka culamaa'ul diin, aqoon-yahan iyo nin-door waa waxa Somaliya maanta dhigay meeshay taal ¡V yaan dib loogu noqon wakhtigii Sama-diidow iyo wax la mid ah.

Sultaan Hurre oo ahaa Isim heer qaran ah, iyo intii la mid ahayd ee loo dilay gar-darrada siyaasadeed, waxaa ina la gudboon inaan u hiillinno, waa Somalida damiirka leh. Waxa ina halligay waa ka aammus diktatoor ummadda midba maalin qasha inta kalena ku fiirsato. Waa in dembiilayaasheennu inoo calaamdaysan yihiin, ugu yaraan.

PRESS RELEASE
SPR/INFltlk/M8/1092/2004

Two Years After The Assassination of Sultan Hurre at Kalabayr

Galkaio City, Somalia, August 17th 2004 ?Somali Peace Rally ?Today two years ago, on February 17, 2004, the great Sultan of Puntland,Somalia, Ahmed Mohamed Hurre was gunned down by the special body guards of Col. Abdullahi Yusuf, the brutal dictator of Puntland. It is widely believed that the Sultan was assassinated because of his political views.

It is common knowledge to all the people of Puntland, most of the Somalis and the international community involved in Somali affairs that Col. Abdullahi sent the assassins who gunned down the Sultan point blank. Co. Yousuf was few kilometres away from the site ofthe heinous crime ?the Kalabayr village.

The death of many people, of which Sultan Hurre and Col. Farah-Dheere were the most known, has simply passed as non event in Puntland. No finger was lifted to investigate simply because the killer was the boss. This is Col. Abdullahi's justice trade mark. Similar travesties in justice took place in Gaalkacyo when murderers in a jail were let go by force and in Buurtinle when Abdulllahi ordered the release of criminal who had committed murder in a mosque, of all places.

This is Abdullahi justice trade mark - people are not equal and some can get away with a broad-day light assassination. Alas, Siyad Barre would be a saint in this regard.

Sultan Hurre's death is not simply going away as Col Abdullahi and his cohorts dream. It is an issue that all Sultan Hurre's acquaintances, those who did not know him but shocked by the killing, and the human rights activists will keep pressing until justice sees the light of the day and his assassins are brought before court.

SPR is welcoming the court procedure against the defendant (Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed) in UK. It is a tangible success that finally the Colonel came to realize that he can not hob-nob the world with blood on his hands. London, the Sultan's hometown, has fulfilled an obligation. SPR is asking the international community that Suldan Hurre's assassination should go to the crimes against humanity court as a test case for the Horn of Africa.

We have warned the Somalis that we should not have a short memory. We should not support or accept someone who is fixed on ruling with the barrel of the gun and brutal force. That is what brought us here. Elimination of intellectuals, respected officers, religious personalities is where the down fall of Somalia had started ? no more "SAMADIIDOW? Sultan Hurre, a high profile Issim in Puntland and Somalia at large, and the rest of those who were killed for political reasons, deserve a support from us ?we Somalis.
