Note: The atrocities that Shabab and Hisbul Islam is administering to the helpless Somali people have caused a Somali family to go on hunger strike. In a letter to American Chronicle and other organizations, some one who only identified himself Abdulkadir Ciise says he and his family are going on hunger strike to protest the recent carnage in Mogadishu. Below is the email from Mr. Ciise:
Please pass this message on to the organizations and the media. To Alshabab and Hisbul Islam, the AMISOM. that effective today, February 29/2009, i and my family will begin a hunger strike and will continue until they stop their indiscriminate killings of the Somalis population; and in the process, should anything happen to me or my family, I want the world to count us as victims of the insanity imposed on our people by leaders of Alshabab and Hisbul Islam as well as AMISOM.
Shabab and Hisbul Islam should also take note of the reality that they risk a law suit being filed against them and their sponsors for war crimes related offences should they continue their mass killings of the Somalis, mothers and the weak in their quest to capturing Mogadishu from government at all costs; a situation that makes them no different from warlords.
Shabab and Hisbul Islam is therefore being asked one more time by the dying Somalis.
to cease their insurgency actions so that Somalis may, after the Ethiopians withdrawal to return to their homes and livelihoods. The Ethiopians who knowingly made their lives a living hell over the past many years left, why Shabab and Hisbul Islam and AMISOM and others are still killing them.
Please fellow Somalis at Shabab and Hisbul Islam, do not underestimate the power of resentment; you only need to ask those who were before you. You may probably win the battle now, but the war on national reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction, needs everything other than your weapons of mass killings.
Abdulkadir Ciise.
