Waa dhaqaaq, cadhowga u dhaqaaq oo qorigana ugu fiiq, xabaduna ugu rid!! Waxay ciidamada qarkood ey leyihiin 'noo daaya!, keligey inoo dayaa' laakin cid loo dayinaya ma jirto! Nin waliba faraha sida loogu taaganyahay, war 'ii dayaa, ii dayaa' ayay xaadladeenu marisa! Laakin cid loo dayniya ma jirto! Isaguna waxa weyaan 'iiiiiiiiiii' faqashta. WAR FAQASH KUMA NOOLA WAA MAYDH BARIYE WEYAAN! Waxa weyaan maantu qoomameynaya Afweyne, maanta ayuu ogyahay xaaladisu halkey marisa markey wadan kii oo dhan lagaga qabsaday! Inta yer, waxa yer oo idin ku xadhay [waa gudagalka maagaalada Berbera bisha koobaad oo sandaki 1991ka] ha la qabsado. Weerarku waynu dhamayne waxa hadhsan dhaqdhaqaaqgi iyo kudufashadi, bes! Teg imikada waa inanay in yar ee ku xadhsan bi'idinillah!
Translation:
During the final battles of the civil war in the Northern region of the Horn of Africa [modern day Somaliland] the Somali National Movement [Ururka Dhaqdhaqaaqa Wadaniga Somaaliyeed] were moving into the port city of Berbera. Much of the war had been captured on film by the Isaaq expatriate community who sought to document the situation in the region. This gave people around the world unique access to the happenings of the war that they could not find anywhere else [the war took place between 1984-1991]. A speech from one of the Commanders of the division [Qaybta Saddexaad, Aaga Medina, Sayid Ali] had been captured on the final days of the battle to take the key strategic port city of Berbera. This is a translation of part of the speech that was delivered on the momentous occasion:
What is war worth if the value that you assign it is worthless in the afterlife! This is our battle and we will win! And move with determination directly to your enemy, point all of your guns towards them and empty your magazines and let the bullets fly! There are members of our brotherhood who are saying 'Let us have them' and there are those of us with good reason who are saying 'Leave them to me!' But no one person or group will be left with this responsibility. The enemy are running scared and you can hear their cries 'iiiiiii' . THE ENEMY ARE NOT WORTHY OF LIFE, THEY ARE THE WALKING DEAD! Afweyne [the then dictator Mohammed Siyaad Barre] is running scared, he has found out that his position is untenable as we have captured the land he claims to govern! Your final goal is to take what is left [the port city of Berbera, which the SNM re-entered and re-captured in January 1991 effectively ending the armed struggle against the Barre regime]. The siege of the city has ended, what remains for us to do is to hit and hit them hard and thats it! Go now and finish the job with the Grace of Allah!
