-The blast was executed by the minister’s personal aide, Abdisalam.
-Was Abdisalam a double agent?
-The reason behind government organized blast.
-Whereabouts of Abdisalam after the blast.
-How does Qatari Government see this?
-Abdisalam’s life in danger.
Officer Abdisalam Mohamed Nur, a rahanweyn, is one of the armed forces personnel, and personal aide of the internal security minister. He is trusted by the minister to the extent that he keeps important national secret, Minister’s personal money transfers, and even packing Minister’s suitcases when going for official trip.
Abdisalam, a 26 years old, graduated from Ahmed Gurey secondary school, and SIMAD institute, two educational institutes run by Damu Jadid, and controlled by ministers Abdikarim and Farah. They are the places which the recruitment of Damu Jadid begins. Immediately after his graduation, he joined Damu jadid forces in the national security sector, and ended up in the internal security minister’s office.
Abdisalam has been working with Damu Jadid and Al Shabab. He is known to be double agent by Damu Jadid. Al shabab did not have any problem for him being a member of Damu Jadid. He has been working for 6 years as double agent. Abdisalam has been the link connects both secret groups since they share common interests. Sometimes he used to go to Lower Shabelle region, Al Shabab stronghold, to deliver messages from both ministers to Africa Muslims Agency field offices.
Damu Jadid – Al Shabab – Qatar
Qatari government is known to be the financier of the global jihadists, and Somalis are not exceptional. They support both Damu Jadid and Al Shabab. Somalia’s 2012 presidential election came at a time arab insurgency was at its peak. Since Qatar was supporting Muslim Brotherhood movement, they wanted them to be in Villa Somalia as well. They spent more than 20 Million dollars in this case. They even spent 10 Million dollars to overthrow former PM Shirdon, plus 3 Million Dollars to bribe those MPs who don’t want to see former ministers in the new government. Since Qatar has political interest in Somalia, they sent a delegation from intelligence and government on 05 May, 2013. An assassination attack has been leveled to the delegation, but ended up in failure. Three of the suicide attackers died, but head of that assassination operation, Officer Abdisalam survived the failed attack.
Abdisalam’s whereabouts
Abdisalam is a man with a lot of national intelligence information. In order to protect the infoemation, Abdisalam was put under house arrest in the house of Abdirahman Turyare, a cousin to the President and head of intelligence investigations. Turyare was also in charge of the failed attack supervision. In August, 2013, Abdisalam has been transferred to the intelligence jail, under the watchful eye of Turyare, without the knowledge of the chief intelligence commander, Gen. Bashir Gobbe.
Subsequent Implication
Eventhough Qatari government could not solve this puzzle, Damu Jadid sent Col. Abdalla Tarbii, head of special ruhanta (ghosts) forces to Qatar, together with former Al Jazira TV correspondent Fahad Yasin Haji Dahir. Their message was to misguide the Qatari government and depict the saga in a different way. They told the Qatari officials that Al Shabab was behind the failed assassination. According to sources close to the meeting narrated that Qatari government told them that they know Al Shabab tactics, and are not behind the suicide attack. Qatar sent delegation to Mogadishu in July, 2013. Details of the meeting is sketchy, but its known that Qatar’s message wasleave al Shabab alone, and we’ll support you. You’ll be replaced tomorrow through election, but there is no election in their territories,which means you are interim government, but they are existing forces. They also discussed on Hassan Dahir Aweys’s case, whom the Somali government is facing huge pressure on his detention. Qatari government promised that they’ll take him, but remove his name first from the list of the international terrorists. The game Damujadid played was to be the sole Qatari agent in Somalia. They therefore tried to create confrontation between Qatar and Al Shabab, but failed.
Officer Abdisalam is the only source who can disclose this saga in detail, but unfortunately he can be eliminated in any time from now, as we uncovered the sequence of the conspiracy. On the other hand, both ministers, Farah Abdikadir and Abdikarim Hussein Guled and in the fore front of the expected list of ministers to be announced shortly.
