Ottawa seeks ‘war criminals’ hiding in Canada
July 22, 2011 · 6 Comments
Thirty fugitives wanted for war crimes or crimes against humanity are believed to be hiding in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has said.
The country’s Border Services Agency website named the suspects, appealing for the public’s help to find them.
The fugitives are listed as having come from regions including the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the suspects should be tracked down and removed from Canada.
The website said the wanted men came from Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and the former Yugoslavia.
The Border Services Agency did not indicate any specific charges against the suspects, but asked anyone with information about them to call a hotline.
On Wednesday, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said Canada planned to revoke the citizenship of 1,800 people suspected of obtaining their status fraudulently.
Note: The four Somali men in question are said to be former members of Siyad Bare’s government. Their pictures and info can be found at this link http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/wc-cg/menu-eng.html

Criminals have no right to be free on this earth,,
I believe all those who killed INTENTIONALLY and ON PURPOSE are criminals.
This is good step forward, and we [Somalilanders] have to cooperate with the Government of Canada and show them those who kill and maimed our people who are still at large. No body hate a particular clan in the Somalia but we are chasing those who kill our people in the name of a clan.
We shall look for them and leave no stone unturned until we find them.
i dont know any of these criminals but where is sabarey he is not in the list, the ssc deputy leader is from Canada he committed crimes against humanity in buuhoodle and he should be in the list as war criminal.
you seem to be defending criminals.they are criminals and are liable to be persecuted in every country.
The funny thing is these are the same people companing for greater somali, how can you have a clear mind when you destroyed your own people, your own nation, but yet still looking for somaliland to join with the rest of somalia.
Is insane to even think about reunited with these blood thirsty people. I ounce heared a guy saying that the only reason why people join the government is to make money with a sarcastic smile, what about the millions of people who barely survive on one dollar a day what about them who is thinking about the poor and helpless people of the south somalia.
I am really disgusted about the elders, politicians, and businessman of the South Somali, it seems that the only think they care about is money, no principle and no dignity and clearly no honor.
