Government officials were preparing their Friday prayers at the Central Hotel in Somalia's capital when an Al-Shabaab extremist rammed at explosives-laden vehicle into the hotel gate, and another went inside the mosque and blew himself up , killing at least 10 people and injuring 15 others on Friday, officials said.
According to the only Somali Investigative site Wagacusub Media, the man behind this carnage is a British-Citizen, who traveled to Hargeisa before the explosion while leaving behind his full of explosive car parked inside the hotel.
It also revealed that the master mind used to visit some unknown places in Mogadishu leaving behind his security staff from the Hotel to wait him outside. He also traveledtoHargeisaoccasionallyfor the last six months that hehad been living in the hotel.
The source said, the culprit used to give huge tips to familiarize himself with the hotel staff and the hotel security, so in his final days he was out of suspect and his room and car were out of suspecion and inspection.
If we leave here the story of this man and his suicidalpartner, the questions that any one who is following the Somali dilemma, asking himself is, why all deadly Al-Shabaab explosions are master minded by Somalilander? Moreover, why this man and his likes always find a save heaven in Hargeisa? How canwe believe the Somaliland Security does not aware the activities of this man and before this man the late Al-Shabaab leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane , who used to visit his family without hardship.
If a rational thinking can hardly accept that, what about the Ethiopian Security who are the actual rulers of Hargeisa, according to the eye witness reports?
There is many stones need to be turned over to see what is going on in Mogadishu. As we said many times earlier, Ethiopia's foot prints in any Al-Shabaab action does not need any magnifying glass to be seen. The only thing that covers up what the Ethiopians are doing in Mogadishu, Somalia is the fear of Al-Shabaab. But other hand, Ethiopia nominates any Somali position at the same time controls Al-Shabaab.
Several Somali portals blamed Hargeisa for the Central Hotel's incident and Mogadishu security mishap. But the circulating question among Somali people is, can Hargeisa do any thing without the knowledge of Ethiopian National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS)?
The second episode is,Somali President's recent participation of the TPLF's 40 anniversary,where he praised the inhumane, immoral, late gangster of Meles Zenawi, who had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Mogadishu between 2006 and 2009.
The president shed tears when he was praising the late Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi ,who killed thousands of Somalis in Somalia and elsewhere.
The details of the events were extensively reported , published,documentedand denounced by leading humanitarian NGOs, like Amnesty International.
Amnesty International obtained scores of reports of killings by Ethiopian troops that Somalis have described as "slaughtering like goats. " In one case, " a young child's throat slit by Ethiopian soldiers in front of the child's mother," the report said.
" In a Press statement, Mr Mohamoud said that the attack will not have an influence on the government's plans and duties. He called for the Somali people to support the government on its campaign against "the terrorists".
The president is calling our support while he is humiliating our Somali values and traditions as well as killing Somali people's national feelings by disregarding the families that had lost their loved-ones by the hands of the black colonial troops of (Ethiopian) Abyssinian-highlanders of Amhara and Tigray tribes commanded by Gebre Egzabeher Alemseged during 2006 invasion.
