5th Twin Cities Somali man is killed in war-torn homeland,(Mainstream Media liberal Take )24 hours later? ...jump on the bandwagon


Mohamoud Hassan, 23, was an engineering student who went to Somalia last November. He had been helping care for his grandmother.

By RICHARD MERYHEW, Star Tribune

A fifth Somali man from Minneapolis apparently has been killed in his war-ravaged homeland, a relative said Friday.Mohamoud Hassan, a 23-year-old former engineering student at the University of Minnesota, reportedly died in the past day or two."It's real bad news," Hassan's uncle said Friday night. "But that is what happened."The uncle, who did not want to be identified, said he didn't know when Hassan was killed, but added that "it's very recent. Today or last night."The circumstances of Hassan's death were not immediately known.
Abdirizak Bihi, a community activist who visited with Hassan's grandmother on Friday, said she learned of her grandson's fate after receiving a phone call from a relative of another young Somali-American who left his home in the Twin Cities last summer to return to Somalia to fight.
That man had told his relatives in a phone conversation shortly after noon Friday that he was standing in a cemetery in Mogadishu and had buried Hassan.FBI spokesman E.K. Wilson said he could not confirm Hassan's death.By late Friday, however, friends and relatives of Hassan's family had gathered at his grandmother's apartment in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood to extend condolences.Bihi said relatives of several other families who had lost sons this past summer in Somalia also were there to offer support, including his sister, Zienab Bihie, whose son, Burhan Hassan, 18, was killed in June."It reminds me of bad days, yeah," said Zienab Bihie, who often met with Hassan's grandmother and parents of other young men who abruptly left Minneapolis to return to Somalia. "It's very hard. They said 'He's gone.'"Hassan is believed to be one of as many as 20 young men from the Twin Cities who over the past 2 1/2 years returned to their native country to train with and fight for al-Shabaab, a group designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization linked to al-Qaida.Who recruited the men and who financed their travel has been at the heart of a far-reaching federal investigation that became public last November after Shirwa Ahmed, 26, a former college student from Minneapolis, blew himself up in Somalia in a coordinated attack that killed up to 30 people.Under federal law, it is illegal for a U.S. citizen to go to another country and fight in a conflict, or support terrorists.
Since Ahmed's death, Hassan and three other Somali men from Minneapolis who were friends or knew each other from a local mosque -- Burhan Hassan, 18; Jamal Bana, 20, and Zakaria Maruf, 30 -- have been killed in Somalia.At the same time, three other Somali-American men have pleaded guilty to terror-related charges and await sentencing in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis for their role in returning to their homeland to train or fight.As they wait, a federal grand jury in Minneapolis continues to hear testimony in the case, which is expected to lead to more charges or indictments in coming months.Hassan, nicknamed "Snake," was a graduate of Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis and was attending the U at the time he left for Somalia last November.While at the U, Hassan served as vice president of the Minnesota Somali Student Union, said a friend, who asked not to be identified.At the time of his departure, he was studying engineering and had lived off and on with an uncle while helping to care for his grandmother, who Bihi described as "very fragile."He was the No. 1 support for her," Bihi said. "He was the caregiver. He would help her with her medications and make sure she was socializing with the elders."Hassan was part of a second wave of Somali-Americans from the Twin Cities to return to Somalia to fight in the country's civil war. Several of the men who have pleaded guilty to terror-related charges left months earlier, and have told investigators that they initially were motivated to return to fight Ethiopians who had invaded their homeland.???
One of Hassan's friends said Friday that Hassan also was partly inspired to return because of the stories of rape and killings by Ethiopians.
But just what transpired while Hassan was in Somalia or what his involvement was with al-Shabaab wasn't clear, the friend said.

Honorable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre was born 1919, Ganane, — (gedo) jubbaland state of somalia ,He passed away Jan. 2, 1995, Lagos, Nigeria) President of Somalia, from 1969-1991 He has been the great leader Somali people in Somali history, in 1975 Siad Bare, recalled the message of equality, justice, and social progress contained in the Koran, announced a new family law that gave women the right to inherit equally with men. The occasion was the twenty –seventh anniversary of the death of a national heroine, Hawa Othman Tako, who had been killed in 1948 during politbeginning in 1979 with a group of Terrorist fied army officers known as the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (SSDF).Mr Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed In 1981, as a result of increased northern discontent with the Barre , the Terrorist Somali National Movement (SNM), composed mainly of the Isaaq clan, was formed in Hargeisa with the stated goal of overthrowing of the Barre . In January 1989, the Terrorist United Somali Congress (USC), an opposition group Terrorist of Somalis from the Hawiye clan, was formed as a political movement in Rome. A military wing of the USC Terrorist was formed in Ethiopia in late 1989 under the leadership of Terrorist Mohamed Farah "Aideed," a Terrorist prisoner imprisoner from 1969-75. Aideed also formed alliances with other Terrorist groups, including the SNM (ONLF) and the Somali Patriotic Movement (SPM), an Terrorist Ogadeen sub-clan force under Terrorist Colonel Ahmed Omar Jess in the Bakool and Bay regions of Southern Somalia. , 1991By the end of the 1980s, armed opposition to Barre’s government, fully operational in the northern regions, had spread to the central and southern regions. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis fled their homes, claiming refugee status in neighboring Ethiopia, Djibouti and Kenya. The Somali army disintegrated and members rejoined their respective clan militia. Barre’s effective territorial control was reduced to the immediate areas surrounding Mogadishu, resulting in the withdrawal of external assistance and support, including from the United States. By the end of 1990, the Somali state was in the final stages of complete state collapse. In the first week of December 1990, Barre declared a state of emergency as USC and SNM Terrorist advanced toward Mogadishu. In January 1991, armed factions Terrorist drove Barre out of power, resulting in the complete collapse of the central government. Barre later died in exile in Nigeria. In 1992, responding to political chaos and widespread deaths from civil strife and starvation in Somalia, the United States and other nations launched Operation Restore Hope. Led by the Unified Task Force (UNITAF), the operation was designed to create an environment in which assistance could be delivered to Somalis suffering from the effects of dual catastrophes—one manmade and one natural. UNITAF was followed by the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM). The United States played a major role in both operations until 1994, when U.S. forces withdrew. Warlordism, terrorism. PIRATES ,(TRIBILISM) Replaces the Honourable Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre administration .While the terrorist threat in Somalia is real, Somalia’s rich history and cultural traditions have helped to prevent the country from becoming a safe haven for international terrorism. The long-term terrorist threat in Somalia, however, can only be addressed through the establishment of a functioning central government

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
