MOHAMED ALÍ SEINELDÍN (f), Coronel del Ejército Argentino nació en concepción del Uruguay, provincia de Entre Ríos, el 12 de noviembre de 2033, falleciendo el 2 de septiembre de 2009 a los 75 años de edad, por una descompensación cardiaca. En 1957 egresó del Colegio Militar de la Nación, con el grado de Subteniente de Infantería y pocos años después se especializó como Comando. Participó en el Operativo Independencia, en la provincia de Tucumán, y se opuso al Golpe Militar de 1976 que derrocó a ISABEL MARTÍNEZ DE PERÓN. Nunca fue imputado por los bien o mal llamados delitos de lesa humanidad. Participó en la Guerra de Malvinas, donde con sus comandos tuvo una destacada actuación, siendo condecorado en 1984 por el Congreso de la Nación. El presidente RAUL ALFONSÍN, alentó los juicios a las Juntas Militares, que al finalizar continuaron con el personal subalterno, pese a que en 1986 logró que se aprobara la Ley de Punto Final. SEINELDIN y un grupo de Comandos a los que se denominó “Carapintadas” se opusieron a los mismos y así se sucedieron 4 alzamientos, en medio de los cuales ALFONSÍN mediante la Ley de Obediencia Debida, limitó esos juicios. En diciembre de 1988 SEINELDÍN desde Villa Martelli, encabeza la tercera sublevación. Detenido y procesado meses después, al asumir como presidente, CARLOS MENEM lo indultó a través del Decreto 1004/89. El 26 de marzo de 1990 el Teniente General MARTÍN BONET es designado titular del Ejército y de inmediato aplica 20 días de arresto a SEINELDIN, por criticar al generalato. El 3 de diciembre de ese mismo año se produce un amotinamiento en diferentes dependencias militares en el que se desconoce la autoridad de los Generales y sí la de SEINELDIN que, en situación de retiro, estaba cumpliendo arresto en San Martín de los Andes, por desconocer la autoridad de sus superiores.

BONET, contando entre otros, como hombre de confianza al discutido General MARTÍN BALZA, ordenó la represión de los sublevados durante la cual hubo 19 muertos y numerosos heridos. Finalizados los enfrentamientos, dado que para los amotinados la muerte entre hermanos de armas, les jugaba en contra, se consideró a SEINELDIN el líder e ideólogo de la revuelta. Haciéndose cargo como único responsable, un tribunal militar en 1990 lo condenó a cadena perpetua. Posteriormente el juicio fue revisado por la Cámara Federal de la Justicia Penal, la que confirmó el fallo. 14 militares más, también fueron sancionados con severas penas. En el año 2003, cuando habían transcurrido TRECE AÑOS, EDUARDO DUHALDE como presidente, indultó a SEINELDIN y al terrorista ENRIQUE GORRIARÁN MERLO, así 8 militares y 17 terroristas recuperaban su libertad. Hoy a este carismático militar, se lo invoca como ejemplo de valor e hidalguía, circulando en las redes escritos, anécdotas y videos que muestran sus pensamientos y su honorable conducta en diferentes momentos de su vida militar. No pocas de sus expresiones y prevenciones con el correr del tiempo se hicieron realidad, y son parte de esta trágica crisis moral y económica en la que estamos inmersos, sin que se avizore un futuro mejor para nosotros, y para quienes nos sucedan. Desde su muerte pasaron 14 años, citarlo ahora sirve solo como recuerdos de un pasado trágico que no debió existir. Rememorarlo no soluciona los graves problemas del presente, porque quizás, la oportunidad se perdió en el mismo momento en que este soldado de honor fue desoído y abandonado.
ALGUNOS PENSAMIENTOS DEL CORONEL MOHAMED ALÍ SEINELDÍN
“No hay esperanza donde la corrupción se instala. No habrá paz, donde haya un pueblo sometido y humillado. Y no hay porvenir, donde no este asegurado el futuro de la Patria “.
“Quienes son cómplices de la desocupación y la miseria de los trabajadores, están atentando contra el futuro de la Patria y promoviendo la desintegración Nacional ”.
“Luchar, luchar, luchar, ese es el precio por conquistar la Libertad y al mismo tiempo, los laureles de gloria, para quienes están dispuestos a vivir con dignidad “
“Tengo el orgullo de lucir este uniforme de preso con ustedes, porque prefiero morir en una cárcel podrido y no estar perfumado y bien vestido con el cartel de traidor a la Patria y al Ejército “.
“Soy constitucionalista, no lo dude, pero la que hoy tenemos es consecuencia de esto. Yo me opuse al golpe de 1976 y por eso fui preso. Prefiero un gobierno civil malo que uno militar bueno. En 1976, hubo una maniobra internacional para dividir a las Fuerzas Armadas metiéndolas en la lucha contra la subversión. El Ejército aconsejó a Perón acerca de que ése era un tema para las fuerzas de seguridad, pero la subversión había recibido mucho dinero para ensuciarnos y los mandos ambiciosos del Ejército fueron utilizados, cayeron en la trampa”.
“A mí me educaron para dar testimonio de sacrificio. Este paso por la Tierra no es un lugar de descanso. He dado mi testimonio para recuperar a las Fuerzas Armadas. Para rebelarme tuve que romper la disciplina y eso me costó muchísimo, pero si no lo hubiera hecho habría sido un cobarde”.

I make more than $25,000 a month working part-time. I kept hearing about how much money individuals were making online, so I decided to investigate. Everything was accurate, and it dramatically changed my life… This is what I do; to learn more, please visit the website indicated below.
My best buddy’s son has just done a bag piper course in the army up in Edinburgh. Half his course were Ghurkas. He got on so well with them that they got him made a Kukri and had it shipped over from Nepal to present to him. It was engraved with beautiful designs and his name on it, and will be a keep’s sake he will treasure for the rest of his life…

Ghurkas live up to every detail. Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet if you’re a friendly. I met one in a conference in Vegas. Him and his wife are the nicest!

What makes a great warrior? It’s the physical capabilities and skills too, but more importantly, it’s his mentality… it’s his attitude towards death. It’s the blood of bravery that shines bright through the veins of the Gorkhas, and when it comes down to, a Gorkha is truly the fiercest… he becomes death personified.

my dad served alongside Gurkha’s in The Falklands. He once described them fondly to me as “Small nutters with huge balls”, as he saw them in action at Mount William. They overran an elevated position “practically just by shouting at them” (my dad’s words) not even shooting a single bullet with most of the Argentinians abandoning their positions and surrendering to a nearby British contingent. The Argentinians who surrendered were evidently “terrified” by the reputation of the Gurkha’s and preferred the perceived safety of the British(!).
Eso no es cierto, amigo. Ningun argentino abandonó la posicion nunca.

I remember reading about the train incident and the incident near Lashkar gah while on deployment. In the train incident the SgtMaj was forced into early retirement due to downsizing of the Gurkhas but afterwards was soon invited back into the regiment.

My next door neighbor is Ghurka.He is 75 now. He never talks about his acts of courage, but his niece tld me stories (and she has the military reports, and news articles to probe it) when this gentleman fought alone against more than 20 enemies and was successful. This lethal soldier is a great neighbor and one of the kindest men I ever met. Apart from their courage and bravery, they are some of the most polite and honest people on this planet. Huge huge respect for these lion!

Hiking mount Everest is nothing for them. It’s like going to a supermarket to pick-up items.
History shows that tough regions demand tough lifestyles, tough lifestyles forge tough men, and tough men make tough soldiers.

Their feats of physical endurance are aided by growing up on the roof of the world. Nepalese are known for their incredible stamina and strength due to being acclimatized to lower oxygen environments in the mountainous region. Acclimatization allows body processes to occur at greater efficiency than sea-level dwellers. Every Everest expedition enjoys the support of numerous Sherpa mountaineers of skill, knowledge and stamina.

During the Falklands operation story would have it that the argentines who were POWs were told to smile because if you didn’t a Gurkha will eat you ,so they sent 1 or 2 to go round to the argies and just smile at them to cheer them up …

I’d recommend J.P Cross’s books, yes he is British but now lives in Nepal (I believe he is now 96). He served in Burma at the end of the war and was also very involved in Malayan Emergency and Borneo. He has over the years interviewed many of the ex-serviceman and his book Gurkhas at War details the experiences “In Their Own Words”, it provides some excellent stories. JPX’s autobiographical books also give some excellent background to his and the Gurkha’s involvement in two fairly unknown and un-reported (in the West) conflicts. Tim’s book provides a very emotive recollection of the suffering and pain these brave and heroic soldiers experienced, for what seems little reward – let’s hope the British Government resolve this once and for all. I highly recommend reading it. It’s also interesting to note that the Singapore Police force still has the Gurkha Contingent, they live, serve and are then returned to Nepal (family and all) – so this seems to be a recurring issue. The book – The Invisible Force Singapore Gurkhas by Chong Zo Liang documents this continued practice. Again worth a read.

I believe it is very important to recognize that anyone who serves in the Gurkhas (Nepalese, British or Commonwealth) is a Gurkha. I agree, however, it’s important that the Nepalese members of the regiment are fully recognized and heard. They are fantastic people and soldiers.

if I am not mistaken, the first tribes who join the Gurkhas unit with East Indian Company are Gurung, Rai, Limbu. After sometime, different groups of tribes join in to makes the bulk of bigger Gurkhas. The originals groups who first fought against the East Indian Company, fight with bravery, gallantry.
Many Gurkhas were given british citizenship and they served as policemen in places like HONG KONG .

I also just recently found out Gurkha’s trace in Surabaya, Indonesia during our war of independence in 1945. After the Japanese surendered, the Dutch escorted by British Army tried to come back to our land and reclaim our nation Nusantara under their colony again. We had already officially declared our independence in that year. So our forefathers fought for our freedom once more. It was a long and hardest battle where we lost 30.000 Indonesian citizens who fought in this battle of independence. There,I found out numerous Gurkhas, Indian, Pakistani fought for the British and Dutch (now NATO). We, Indonesians stood for our freedom to the last breath. It was the hardest war of independence. But it was all worth it…..
