Mr Shire is the man who stopped when the rights groups wanted to speak out for the imprisonment of Ali Yare Wardhere.
"When the people like him claim to be human rights campaigners what would be called human rights violators," said a man within the INXA umbrella, who spoke with the Somalilanders media.
Those who knew his background say he has no children because he had just a foreign girlfriend that he lived with.
"Mr Shire never spoke out against the human rights abuses being committed by his tribesmen because he is a clan chauvinist and because he is one of the relatives of the President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud," said former Attorney General Abdulkader Muse.
Mr Shire who supposed to condemn at least those journalist killers he himself affiliated with the likes of Hasan Ali Gesey and Mohamed Ibrahim Bakistan simply because they are from his same clan said Editor in Chief of the Waagacusub Media, Mr Dahir Alasow.
According to sources, Mr Shire announced that he is going to run the office of the presidency in 2016.
Somalia does not need oppressors like Shire but they need leaders that can share their sufferings, Mr Alasow said, angrily.
Alasow declared that he will start series investigations to unmask the visas that he sold and became a source of the institutionalized corruption.
