Bisharo
Ali of the Afarqoable & Iidoar Qaldaan clans was
literally maddened by the ignorance & the arrogance
& the
stupidity
of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Graham
Hancok wrote (in1989) in his sensational, seminal,
muckraking
exposé, Lords of Poverty: The Freewheeling
Lifestyles, Power, Prestige & Corruption of the
Multimillion
Dollar Aid Business:
In
1987 Bisharo Ali, a Somali living in Canada (where he had
obtained economics, sociology and social work degrees),
applied for the job of the Field Assistant at HCR’s office
in the central Somali town of Belet Weyne. He was turned
down by Robin MacAlpine, HCR’s Assistant Representative in
Somalia, on the astonishing grounds that he was too well
qualified. ‘With your broad experience in Canada,
MacAlpine wrote, ‘It is considered unlikely that you would
be able to spend years in such a post without considerable
frustration.’
Bisharo
told me 1988:
After
receiving that letter I felt angry, humiliated and rejected.
It proved to me that whatever we [Third World] people do in
achieving academically, professionally and technically we
would still not be acceptable in the white bureaucracies who
enjoy the good life at our expense.
Ever
since that ugly UN experience, Bisharo has not been the
same, has not been playing with a full deck, just like
Somalia has never been the same ever since Uncle Sam’s UN
Christian crusade robbed Islamic Somalia of all of her hope
& her dignity under the disguise of Bush père’s
“Operation Restore Hope in Somalia”. Somalia’s hope,
dignity, integrity &
pride & faith in Allah were restored by General
Aidiid’s fearless Hawiye Moriyan heroes of Black Hawk Down
rep who kicked Uncle Sam’s can & his UN out of sunny
Somalia into the outer darkness of hell.
But alas & alack!
My poor friend, Bisharo Ali, remains unhinged after his
run-in with the UN.
For
those of you who don’t know Bisharo Ali, he is the Somali
Murusade crazy Canuck from Ottawa who hacked his wife to
death with machete in Nairobi, Kenya when she tried to stop
Bisharo from hacking to death the head of the UN’s office
for Somalia in Nairobi, Kenya who is still fleecing the poor
people of Somalia out of millions of dollars of the aid
money allotted to Somalia.
Bisharo
Ali is now on the run, on the lam, from Canuck &
Interpol justice. And the UN can’t move its offices from
Nairobi to Mogadishu as long as Bisharo remains at large in
Mog where he is capo de tutti capo of all the powerful
Murusade militia Moriyans of Mog & Die-niile!
Bisharo can’t come back to his kids in Canada &
to his old haunts in Ottawa. As a matter of fact, he knows
he is not safe & secure anywhere else in the civilized
world where the writ of the law is applicable. That is why
Bishaaro Ali lives right now among Kipling’s “lesser
breeds without the law / half devil and half child, in
the jungles of Somalia, the paradise of Osman Atto &
fugitives from justice & other jinnes & jinnoale
where the writ of madness & mad men who dabble in
disasters prosper. That
is why Bisharo fled to Mog that once was the capital of the
late Somali nation; but which is now the Hutu Hawiye morgue
of all of our Somali national dreams & aspirations.
I
was recently in Mad Mog where the Moriyan still roam, still
full of piss & beans, spoiling for another fight with
Uncle Sam & his floozy UN!
Mog where the Moriyan still boss everybody around in
their careening & careering crazy technicals fuelled by
King Kat. I decided to pay a visit to their Prepotent Boss
& Potentate, my old Somali-Canadian friend, Bisharo Ali
now busy acting the lunatic part of Conrad’s Dr Kurtz in
the jungle Congo of Somalia. He is very famous now in Mog,
so it did not take me long to find Bisharo who is well known
to all & sundry now in Mog as the Distinguished Doctor
Bisharo Kurtz who is now the Director of the main insane
asylum of Mog. I was sure I had the wrong Bisharo. The one I
knew in Canada was a mere MS in social work.
But I knew I had the right one, the moment I laid
eyes on the pictures of beaming Bisharo boy hanging
everywhere in the reception room, with long lines of
patients & their relatives & supplicants from the UN
& from the international press, all waiting to have a
word with the Doctor.
When
I informed his secretary that the Doctor is a friend of
mine, that I am an old Somali-Canuck friend of his here to
pay him a short courtesy Canadian call before I return to
old cold boring sane & sensible goody two-shoes Canada;
she whisked me right in.
Dr
Bisharo, in a white coat, behind a massive mahogany desk,
jumped from his seat and embraced me with a genuine warm
feeling. Bisharo is my Abtie: my mother is of the
same Afarqoable clan as Bisharo. I was most moved by his
civilized Murusade manners. So different from vulgar Qurunle
Qanyare who told the Darod on the BBC that the extent of the
relationship he wants to cultivate & cathect with them
will never exceed the actual reach of his large sized
Afarqoable donkey dong & the commodious sweet
cunt of his dear Darod delightful wife!
I
decided for once to keep my big absurd Abgal mouth shut
& just listen to what Dr Bisharo had to say. Dr Bisharo
did not disappoint me nor did I disappoint myself by opening
my big Togane trap. I just listened to Dr Bisharo billbill
away his bona vides & spill his Somali beans& guts
& glory, still full of piss & vinegar.
—Togane,
Zio, I am most delighted to see you. Welcome home! I hope
you are here to stay with us in Somalia for good. Look at
this view of the lapis lazuli lapping waters of the Indian
Ocean! Just this Ocean View with its warm wafting wonderful
winds is worth to me more than all the loonies & the
toonies & the townies & all the maple leaves of cold
old boring Canada, our Lady of the Snows, where the moose
booze & boozle. Last week, a Somali–Canadian friend
paid me a visit. You know him; he is my kinsman; a fellow
mindless Murusudi called Jess in Toronto but plain old
Jinnee Jiisow here in Mog! What a fool! He wanted to know
how I got away with the murder of my wife! So he too could
murder his Murusade memsahib! I set the moron straight right
away. Looky here, Jiisow Jinnowle, I says, we are here now
in Somalia where reality is real; as real as this fucking
Kalashnikof I am cradling now; don’t fuck with me; we are
not in your Toronto where you all live in ersatz virtual
reality & vicariously enjoy all that fake violence on
the idiot box!!! Between
Aideed & Ali Mahdi & our uncle, Qurunle Qanyare
& the USA & Canada & the UN, at least 500, 000
Somali men, women and children were murdered in cold blood;
and yet you can’t forget & forgive me because in a fit
of Somali patriotic anger against the UN & all her
devilomacy, I macheted a mere Murudade woman, my wife, my
life, my Murusade sister—I macheted her into the dusty
death of her grave. Jeesow Jeenowle, go ask Ali Mahdi, Osman
Atto, Musse Soodi Yellahow, Qurunle Qanyare & Abdullahi
Yusuf, the Punk of Puntland & Ina Sad Sack Salad ‘Air
& Afwayne Heir & his greedy goat from Garowe, Hassan
Abshir, how they all got away with the murder of the whole
Somali nation; with the murder of hundreds of thousands of
Somali men, women & children! My wife lies here in
Somalia; in her grave, here on this hospital grounds; she
was the chief nurse here. I miss her terribly; she was my
helpmate & right hand. My comforter & confidante. I
will show you her grave & the beautiful epitaph I had
lovingly composed over her grave. Yes, right here in my
office, there, is the replica of the epitaph hanging. Read
it:
Epitaph
On My Wife
Here
lies my Murudade wife
Here
let her lie!
Now
she’s at rest
And
so am I
Now
that’s the best
For
both of us needed rest!
Now
right here in Somalia we have the best system of managing
this mindless Somali society; we reverted to the same system
we maintained before paleface put in his unwelcome
appearance in these parts. We have now Anarchy here, the
Utopia of poets & pundits; Anarchy is the natural system
& state for us Somalis who are nature’s aristocratic
savages. We Somalis are cunning connoisseurs of Chaos; I am
right now in my natural element, just like fish happily
swimmingly fucking away in fresh water! I feel fresh &
frisky! When my Murusade clan put me on trial, I was moved
to tears of joy. I did not have to say a word in my
self-defense! I had no lawyer; I did not need one; after
all, I was not being tried by my cousin, that absurd Abgal
Sheikh Ali Dhere, the mad Mullah of Mog, that mad dog of the
sodomite Saudi wogs, who was then busy chopping off the
hands & the limbs of his Abgal braves; it was my
merciful Afarqoable agnates who were going to decide my
fate. Qurunle Qanyare advised our clan elders to hand me
over either to Kenya, Canada or Interpol. They laughed in
his funny fucked-up face! They asked him, what clan does
Interpol belong? That really made him shut the fuck up! You
see Qurunle Qanyare considers me a threat because I am the
most educated & the most notorious slayer of wives &
the sanest Somali patriot (second only to Ali Wardhiiglay)
of our Murusade clan. I let the tribal elders do the talking
for me! I told them that I accept whatever they decide. I
told my clan, I trust in clan traditional Xayr justice,
not the paleface’s kangaroo courts in Canada. I am not
crazy like Aidiid, like General Wow or Animal Howe; I am not
like Aidiid who was also Gardiid!! Aidiid was the proverbial
Somali Hawiye crow that always finds the milk, but does not
have the luck or the knack to drink it at all! He needs
another dignified Darod crow to show him how! But Aidiid
refused to allow one single Darod back into
Mog; he made Mog Darod-frei (free of Darod) just like
brother Hitler made Berlin Juden-frei, free of Jews. Since
the judges & the jury were all my Afarqoable Klansmen, I
had nothing to fear. After an hour of solemn deliberation,
they rendered this judgment on my case of wife-macheting-to-death
which I had accepted wholeheartedly. They said, we checked
& we found out that neither Canada nor Interpol is
Murusude; the woman, you Bisharo had murdered is Murusude;
Bisharo is Murusade; we are Murusade; and most importantly,
we, the Murusade, have no extradition treaty with neither
Kenya, Canada nor Interpol; therefore, you are free to stay
with us & we put you in charge of this Mad House in Mog!
Jinnee, jinne aa lagu daaway-ya! Only a mad man like
Dr Bisharo Ali knows how to deal with Madness! Only
Dr Bisharo Ali has the hair & the hide & the how of
the mad rabid dog that bit us all Somalis. We all believe
that you, Dr Bisharo Ali, fills the bill; that you were mad
enough once to have killed your own Murusade wife, but all
that now is banal & bagatelle. Some beat their wives;
some eat their wives; some are eaten & beaten by their
wives; some kill their wives; some are killed by their
wives, so what? Don’t
worry. We won’t give you another Murusade wife to murder.
One is enough. Once is enough: if you do one thing once, you
are a philosopher; if you do it twice, you are a pervert. Dr
Bisharo, we know, you are not a pervert. You are just
insane, so what? So are all of us Somalis. Dr Bisharo, you
are indeed as mad as the Mad Hatter! So what? Everyone else
in the clan of Murusade is somewhat sane too and so whenever
we see that you are in a sore need of some sanity, we will
lend you some sanity & we will send you some sanity
post-haste to you! Meanwhile, let the rest of the world go
hang! Let the enemies of the Murusade say that you are nuts;
we know you are not. Look at you. Look at how smartly you
dress every day in a suit and tie and under this hot Somali
sun too! Just like a Doctor! We know what a man does in
Somalia when he decides to go ape & eat mad bananas:
when a Somali makes up his mind to go crazy, he runs around
in his birthday suit; he throws away his loin-cloth! Maratha
O Tuuraa!!! He does not go around like Dr Bishaaro, like
Dr Jayte Jiniqow Hayow, like Dr Omar Arte, sporting silk
suits and silk ties made by the coolies of Hong Kong!
The
BBC heard about this curious case of Dr Bisharo & the
model insane asylum he directs so well in Somalia! The
famous intrepid BBC reporter, Raage Omaar of Baghdad rep,
went to interview him.
—Dr
Bishaaro: Who made you a Doctor? Where did you earn your
Doctorate? After we had checked with Canada and all her
Canadian institutions of higher learning & the
department of health & welfare where you were once
gainfully employed, we learned that you only have Masters
Degree in social work. Bishaaro, I dare say, you are a crazy
fucking fraud!
—Absolutely!
You are right! Brother, right on! Rap on! I agree. I really
dig your moral outrage! That is just telling it like it
really is! The Jew, Dr Freud, was a fucking fraud too! But I
am not Freudian! I was trained right here in the Somali
bush, in my natural habitat, by a Moslem Murusade Witch
Doctor who is more eminently qualified to judge about these
matters of degrees of madness than an idiot of an Iidoar
Islawayn BBC Blabber Big Mouth like you. Furthermore, if the
Ill-Jex called Ina Sicko Psycho Salad Boy believes that he
is the President of Somalia, why can’t I fancy myself a
Shrink & run this nuthouse so well that now all the
international press is clamoring to interview Dr Bisharo&
inform the world the miracles he has wrought! After all, as
they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Look
how happy I make all the inmates of my insane asylum! I am
indeed their Dr Feelgood! That is what my sister Aretha
Franklin was singing about! About me, the original Dr
Feelgood in the morning! Now, am I crazy or do I hear her
right now singing the jiving blues in Jabooti where they
love to shake their booties now that Sugar Daddy Yankee is
in Djibouti!
—Very
well put! I love the way you alliterate; you must also be a
bebop poet!!
—No.
That is the province of my friend, Togane, whose American
brother, Hassan, has just been shot for the second time.
Imagine a Somali-American with a valid American passport
stuck in this hellhole! Why doesn’t go back to America? I
guess, he can’t; he too must have murdered his memsahib!
Togane Senior is the Americanized Abgal poet, who was here
with me not long ago. He has no wife to kill so he gone back
to Canada! He is an Abgal poet who composes his verses in
English! Just Imagine that! It is most true: if you live
long enough in this world, you will even get to see camels
copulating & at the very least one Abgal billbilling
poet spouting off poesy in the Queen’s lingo! This whole
world is all mad! That is why when we are born, we cry that
we are come to this wacky wicked world, to this great stage
of mad fools, like Ali Diesel! Go ask Uncle Sam what the
hell he is doing in Baghdad after what we Somali Moslems had
done to him in Mog! Why is he still insistent on crossing
the Mogadishu Moslem line in Baghdad this time? Hasn’t he
learned the lesson we Somalis had taught him in Mog? Damean
dumdum Dubya, stop messing with them Moslems! They crazy as
a coot; they ain’t Christian; they believe in even-Steven
like Malcolm X; they don’t believe in turning the other
cheek like Togane’s Mennonites!
—Do
you think, Dr Bisharo, the world will one day wake up to
find you, President of Somalia?
—Somalia
is a nuthouse! It is about time that the real inmates like
me run this jungle of a joint
of an insane asylum. Since we already run one insane asylum
most efficiently, most effectively, most competently, I
& my team are seriously thinking of expanding &
stretching our mandate from the moon to us minions here
below, under her sway, to cover this whole crazy country of
coons with Kalishnikovs! North & South & East &
West! We the so-called loonies will soon be running Somalia.
Give us some time to get ready. We are just waiting now for
our most important, most delusional Danyers of illusions of
grandeur to come back from their wild trip of goose &
gander chase. Go tell Abdullahi Yusuf, Hassan Abshir,
Qurunle Qanyare, Osman Atto, Ina Sad Salad Boy & Yalahow
Xaarow Xaayow to hurry home.
Go
tell the world to stay tuned for final loony tunes, for the
finis, for the final curtain, for the Goetterdaemmerung of
Papa Doc Afwayne & the denouement of this dreadful
decades-old Darod Doco-Drama of this our Hawiye Horror Show.
