I downloaded the video as a podcast and my god it was epic. It can become a Somaliwood movie.
THE KIDNAPPING
1. He was kidnapped in south Galkayo, he mistakenly believed the south was safer than the north cause there were less Ethiopian spies, he was wrong.
2. Some ill mannered mooryaans (his words not mine) put a gun to his face while cursing his mother, foul language all around. They kept him till the morning and put him on a plane to Xamar.

3. While he's packing his wife's belongings into a car, one of his handlers ask him where he's going. He tells him that they agreed with the senior handlers that she will depart. The handler is concerned so he calls the seniors and they tell Qalbidhagax to stay put for now. While they are arguing he gives the taxi driver his cash and he drives off.
4. With his wife gone, Qalbidhagax tells the handler that he forgot his glasses at the mosque. Once he arrives the mosque... walks by it, down an alley and around another till he makes a quick dash to the hills where
