A new comment from N6PSE withdraws his earlier comment thanks to K4XZ, 
for finding it hi. First email was sent before latest comment was posted:

    Dear Silvano I2YSB

    Please accept my apology for calling into question your team's
    humanitarian efforts in Somalia. I am a strong believer in doing
    humanitarian work and helping those who cannot help themselves.

    I wish you and your team safe travels to Somalia.

    Sincerely,

    Paul N6PSE
    The Intrepid DX Group

Some weeks ago, the Intrepid-DX Group announced our plans for a large, multi-national DXpedition to Hargeysa, Somaliland scheduled for November, 2012. It is our intent to serve the areas not previously well served by the two previous DXpeditions to Somalia.

Yesterday, the Italian DX group, led by I2YSB announced their imminent Plans to activate Somalia under the guise of a "Humanitarian DXpedition"

We believe that merely posing for a photo with an ambulance donated by a major corporation does rise to the level of a humanitarian mission.

We ask the DX community to not condone, nor support this kind of activity. The Italian DX group has not consulted with us, nor apparently considered our previous announcement.

We believe that it is inappropriate for them to place their DXpedition to this entity ahead of our previously announced plans.

Paul N6PSE
The Intrepid-DX Group
