SHASNA
MediaWatch department follows news analysis, commentaries,
trends, news reports and press releases of the week. We pay
special attention to Somali news in general, and to Arab
financed and UN supported ‘ARTA TERROR CELLS’ in
particular. We analyze, digest and separate facts from
fiction. With so many news outlets and so many groups, each
one vying for your attention, we will try our very best to
fairly analyze what you have read or missed reading.

Sir Walter Scott
(1771-1832): "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when
first we practise to deceive!"
Sir Walter Scott
(1771-1832): "I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say
the tale as ‘t was said to me."
Mr.
Ali K Gallaydh – September 16, 2001, during the
presentation of the details of Arta group accounts: “As
you are aware this government [a/k/a Arta Faction] came to
Mogadishu as a guest of certain Mogadishu businessmen
[al-Itihaad al-Islamiya] who paid almost all our
expenses.”
SHASNA
– Janauary 31, 2002: “With al-Islaah, one of
al-Qaeda’s many subsidiaries and a notch above al-Itihaad
in the corporate hierarchy controlling the agenda, the
movement set out to establish a government for the group and
by the group. In short, with the help of corrupt UN
officials and Djibouti elite, the Somali transitional
national government was born. And surprise, surprise … it
was headed by none other than the regional al-Islaah leader,
Mr. Abdiqasim Salad Hassan!”
“The
investment has finally paid off, or so they thought!!”
SHASNA
has obtained the Arta group account details from the period
of May 2001 to September 16, 2001 as originally presented by
Mr. Ali Gallaydh to his cronies. The document is over 80
pages; we have dusted it; rubbed it; studied, analyzed,
footed and summarized it! And now we know why Mr. Gallaydh
is a bitter man, and why the gang leader has ousted him!
Dear
reader, as always, we have done the homework for you; please
sit back and enjoy the fireworks; the English translation
follows:
Mr.
Ali K. Gallaydh – September 16, 2001- Introduction of
budget details: As you are aware this government [led by the
sub-clan leader] came to Mogadishu as a guest of certain
Mogadishu businessmen [al-Itihaad al-Islamiya] who paid
almost all our expenses.
We
have subsequently on April of 2001, received $14 million
dollars from the Saudi and Qatar governments. We also had
approximately sh so5,262,457,000 [$304,717] printed
[counterfeit money] and imported by Mogadishu businessmen.
The
$14 million were deposited in a Saudi Bank in Jeddah that
could only be withdrawn with checks signed by either the
Minister of Fianance or the Governor of the Bank [a sub-clan
member].
I
will admit to you that huge mistakes were made in how and
where the $14 million were spent!
Most
of the expenses were spent on militia; but certain
individuals spent most of the funds, without any details, as

I
hope these account details will satisfy your curiosity and
will help us earn the confidence of our people in order to
achieve our objectives, perform our duties and safe keep the
wealth of the nation [during the Siad Barre regime, the
wealth of the nation plus all foreign donated funds were
looted by the same gang and they are at it again] and the
overall economy of the country.
Thank
you,
