Hiiran.com's Abdi Yussuf Noor lie on Somalia: Situation Report

Review on the "Somalia: Situation Report No. 27 – 14 Jul 2008" by  Abdi Yussuf Noor on 254 734 800 120 – nooryussuf@un.org on hiiraan.com.
 
The report by Noor (name pronounced and spelled Nuur in Somali) summarizes the events that took place in Somalia in the past week.  You can read it at this url: http://www.hiiraan.com/news2/2008/July/somalia_situation_report_no_27_–_14_jul_2008.aspx
 
Al thought the report rewrites several reported news including the killing of Osman Ali and the WFP contracted drivers in Mogadishu, Somalia, Mr Noor fails to mention the truth about who is behind the killings.  Several Somali News media web sites reported that no one knows who the killers were.  Despite this fact, Mr. Noor implies that Al Shabab and Somali Re-liberation Alliance committed this shameful act when he writes: The motives for the incidents have not yet been established but may be related to recent threats against national aid workers issued by anti-government groups in Mogadishu
 
Looking back in the week the murder of Osman Ali occurred, Al-Shabab clearly condemned this killing and their spokesman, Abu Mansuur, blamed the murder of Mr. Ali on the TFG militia and the Ethiopian occupiers:  "The Mujahedeen (fighters) are not behind his (Osman Ali's) killing and it is not becoming of them to kill important persons who help the Somali people on whose behalf we are fighting but the enemy of Allah (Ethiopia) are behind his killing," Muqtar Robow Abu Mansuur, spokesman for Al-shabaab movement told reporters in a telephone press conference.
 
Furthermore, Mr. Noor omits from his report the mass round up, of young men, that was carried out in Dayniile and Radaarka district in Mogadishu during July 12 and July 13 by the Ethiopian soldiers and their trained puppets, the TFG Militia.  He did not mention that on Sunday July 13, several young men were executed by Ethiopian troops and TFG militia in Mogadishu and its surroundings. 
 
Since most Somali people know the motives of the anti-government forces, which is to expel the Ethiopian invaders from Somalia, Mr. Noor's report clearly is meant to distort the resistance's image using the Somalia news media, specifically Hiiraan.com.  This is a shameful act.  Hiiran Online should review his reports before publishing them to the Internet because they are baseless as it references recent threats against national aid workers issued by anti-government groups which never happened.  In fact, Al-shabab and UIC fighters are against any harmful acts towards aid workers.  However, Hiiraan's writers may fail to know this because they are busy writing unconfirmed and untrue reports.
