The man in charge of one of Africa’s most feared secret police services worked in Britain for Tesco until 18 months ago.
Mohamed Warsame Nur ‘Darwiish’, who has been accused of war crimes in conflict-ravaged Somalia, was employed through an agency to drive trucks and pack peas at the supermarket giant’s depot near Daventry, Northants, until late 2006.
Now he is General Darwiish, head of the National Security Agency (NSA), the Somali equivalent of the CIA, which is responsible for detaining and interrogating terrorist suspects.
The agency is accused of unlawfully imprisoning and torturing hundreds of citizens and launching many other repressive security operations.
An investigation by The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine and a Channel 4 Dispatches programme discloses that his family still live in subsidised housing in Leicester.
The investigation found that he is one of several Somali leaders linked to allegations of war crimes who have close links to Britain.
Some members of the Somali government are believed to have even been given British citizenship, state benefits and a subsidised home in this country.
All regularly commute between Somalia and their homes in Britain, where their families remain while they fight for the UK-backed President, Abdullahi Yusuf, who is accused of waging a tribal war.
The president himself has links to Britain – in 1996, his life was saved by a liver transplant at London’s Cromwell Hospital. He comes back for regular check-ups, staying with relatives in Kilburn, North-West London.
Somalia’s deputy police chief, Ahmed Hashi Tajir, originally from the Netherlands, spent six years living in Birmingham, where he worked for a car parts firm.
His family remain in Spark Hill in Birmingham, where they receive child tax credit because his police salary – which is also subsidised by Britain, via a UN programme – is low.
He said: ‘I was in Birmingham for six years. It is more open than Holland. England more open, yeah. And I was getting very, very good pay – £1,500 every four weeks.
Plus attendance allowance. Plus quality bonus. Plus child tax credit.’
Former Somali interior minister Mohamed Guled Ga’amadheere is a British citizen, with a home and family in Leytonstone, East London.
In 2007, he ordered that no international aid was to be distributed without undergoing a government inspection, an action the UN claims unnecessarily obstructed more than a million refugees receiving food and medical care.
The former military chief of staff, the president’s spokesman and others are also thought to have families and homes in the UK.

dadka kaliya ee shaqada cayda u yaqaan waa hawiye. At least darlings they didn't sit on their back side getting busy in how to make many of the benefit system. And by the wya did you realise that god iyo dadkiisuba hawiya nacebyihiin, the evil doers in this world. they can only kill, steel and destroy. They tried and tried and tried to build a government so many times but don't realise that god is not with them!!!!!

you might be better off borrowing a brain from somewhere, somehow because this is not working at all, not for you at least!!!!
|
|
I like this knew phrases (war crimes, genocide) wasn't in the dictionary before...was recently invented by hawiye & co. they claim to care about Somali and Somalis, yet envy they are destroying Somali name abroad as they did destroy Somalia. They don't care about who gets attacked or hurt as a result. As far as I know, it could be one of their children, just watch the space sometime soon in the streets of London!!!

Xinfinin,
NYT doesnt work the African way!
|

Arawelo
NYT is the most influential newspaper in the world.Any news
carried in NYT is treated with utmost urgency, in other words
they rule the world through the power and wisdom of pen. If NYT
republishes the article again, Darwish is doomed..Mind you whoever
NYT supports wins the US elections..Clinton, Carter, Bush Snr, Roosevelt
etc.
GOD BLESS NYT

Xinfinin,
I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or not. If you are waiting fair article even if it true from NY times, that is going to change things is very desperade. I just fail to grasp the weight and the importance that this article carries.

Arawello
I have just forwarded the artcile to a friend of mine who works
for New York Times (God bless them). If he verifies the story to be
authentic then beleive me you Darwish is a gonner..he will be brought
to justice. Mind you New York Times cid is hortaagi karta maleh..
|
|
Convicted criminal where that trial took place? or in the pages of some gossip columns?. Where did you tried them, in your dreams while cruising with Xinfiniin. kkkkkkkkkk By the way Darwiish is not a warlord, he was living as refugee in UK till duty called him in Mogadishu. I think that is a couragous Somali man taking the risk of pacifying and routing out alharam out of his country.
|
|
This is their wish- those who left shall never come back!
|
|
Arawelo
keep on go on continue defending a warlord and convicted criminal
who will soon face justice..

Antidabadhilif
How can you h'ate warlords and at the same time you show a lot of aficionado their craft called "Sparo"?. Sow lama mid aha bakhtiga ma cuno, laakinse fuudkiisa ayaan dhamaa.kkkkkk
|
|
I dont see no different between aidiid and darwish. One was doing Mingist's job, the other is doing Meles job. Few clanists call hero those two men. I am glad I am not one of those ignorance defending murders/worlods.
|
|
Some of you called Eideed Sr. a hero back in the 90s. Guess what! his wife was taking welfare somehere in Canada and when the media went after her she backed her suitcase left Canada for good. If Antidabadhilif want to lecture us that every man should be caring and feeding his family, I say amen to that. But don't say ki'lling at times for Sbaro money or husling the civilians in Mogadishu is better than welfare. Otherwise it means that we did grow up a different set of morals.
|
|
Darwiish's reply would be that instead of sitting in Europe or North America, he went back to Somalia fighting to clear the spaaro and set up a peaceful fanctioning Somalia so his wife and children could return to Somalia. I think that is courage most of us don't have. If any of you(TFG or ICU supporters) have that courage, go back and fight for what you believe. Talk is cheap.

Most dabodhilifs suport this TFg take walfare in Europe and USA. It s normal for them. They all saying so what if his famaly take walfare lol. They think take walfare and bagging kuffars is good staff since they grow up eating walfare. I rather have isbaaro than begging kuffars for bread. I canot belive they call him hero lol. If you want be hero, start from your own home. You are hero when you feed your children and wife using your own muscles.If they taking walfare their hero is their case worker not you. If man canot take care his own family, how can he take care all nation?

Ciyaalkii alshabab sida daacada ah ugu maleeynayeey inay alharam wax xaq ah wadaan, sow maahan kuwo ka yimid ingriiska iyo meelo badan oo qurbaha ka mida ah. Ka dibna si cilmeeysan ayaa qob moos loogu dhigay sidii loo waday furinta dagaalka ayaa la dhex dhigay ayagoo qabaar daar ah, hadde intii halkaa ku qur baxaday ilaahey baa og, nimankii durbaanka u tamaayeyna baqo ayay dhabarka jeediyeen oo ilaa Ras kamboni waa tii ay sii cararayeen, ayagoo leh sababo xeeladeysan awgeed baan u baneeynay caasimada. Markaa kuwa welfare ku qaadanayey Sweden iyo Denmark sow kuma jiraan dagaalka. Meeqa Soomaali ah ayaa welfare qaadata Yurub, Maraykan iyo meelo kaleba, waa wax badan qaarna wayba ku faanaan inay system cheat gareeyeen. Markii haddi ay Somaliyi is kashifeyso ayaga unbay u daran tahay.
Haddii Ingriiska caruurta Darwiish ay welfare qaataan waa ba sax madaama ay ayguma cadeeyeen inusan dakhli fiican haysan dowlada iyo askarteeda. Mida kalana ewelba lacagaha ay EU siiso sow kama mid ahayn Ingriiska wadamada bixiya, markaa waa jugjug meeshaada joog.

We are supposed to be lead by truck driving and auto parts repair men
who still collect welfare. This tfg is a collection of the dirties low
life scum the somalis have. This article just confirms it.

rag ku sheega walaalahoow axmaarada ka iibsanaayaan si alshabaab loga waardiyeeyo ineey europe/ usa walfare ka qaataan waxba la ma ahan.

I don't know if this man's family are taking welfare, if true what is the big deal, after all working for TFG it doesn't make you a wealthy, but most of the time without salaries they donate their services as a volunteer and it is commandable act. Darwiish is hero who had tremendously contributed the fumigation of Al haram from the Capital, if anything he deserves a golden meddle of Bravery. Ku tiri ku teenta Soomalida ee leh dowlad baa wax xasuuqday, ayagoo ka reebayaa alharam meel ma gaareyso. Si fiican ha loo soo wada bandhigo, ama niiicniicda ha la iska daayo waa tii lahaa waan dagaalameynaa ee ha la adkeysto.

living on welfare! such a shame! I didn't know they were exploiting the welfare system of England. certain things just don't work in a developed nation like the UK. They just can't continue with the civil war while they let their families live peacefully in Europe. send them packing and let them enjoy the peace and prosperity created by their fathers as they always claim. I recall Abdullahi Yusuf once exposed by the guardian while using fake documents belonging to someone else and he was bundled out of the hospital before he was arrested! can't he even not afford for simple medical checkups? Investigations should go on and they should consult with Amnesty to round them up and face justice.

This guy and his TFG mafia commited war crimes against the somali people. that is according the UK, Amnesty international, independent media. What is a news, indeed a good news is, the guy under investigation for making the somali people homeless while he is housed by britain. He claims income support and housing benefits which means the uk does not only subsidise his family but also for harrasing the Somali people. If the Uk did not pay for his housing and family bills, he wouldnt be able to do what he is doing in Somalia. He would be happily packing some peas at a Tesco warehouse.

How does this is a news?. Darwiish's family are in UK, so what?, so does Laqanyo,Zakaria and many other Somali men/women who are either with TFG or ARS Alshabab. We heard a lot of young kids were shipped from Europe, America and Australia so they can pertake the jihad in Somalia, many of those youngters were the first victims of the war and their deaths were confirmed after finding their documentations. One more thing that this article is lacking is not using "allaged" on the accusations towards government officials that were allagedly rumoured that they commited war crimes.
It all smells the works of UK residents of belonging to the anarchists and scessionists.
