Agreed! One more reason Somalis need to attract other investors, look far east and west.

They should hang him and I hope no stupid "elders" got involved.

As a result of the genocide of the beesha dhexe by Siyaad's army, the suffering civilians were very confused and bitter but I believe that the SNM's intention was never about secession of Somaliland. Instead they wanted to replace Siyaad Barre's dictatorship with another SNM-Caydiid tyranny. However a political wizard called Cali Mahdi (God bless him) pulled the rug under their feet but also inadvertently paved the way for the break up of the uneasy union. I believe if a government of national unity which represented every clan immediately replaced Siyaad Barre's administration and relentlessly pursued all the war criminals to face justice, neither the secession of Somaliland nor the chaos in the south would have taken place and today the Somali society would very different.

There's inside and local support. How is possible Ahlu Sunnah can keep AS away but Mogadishu with so many troops and checkpoints can't?

The SNM had no official position on the issue of independence. However, there were obviously the believe that the 1960s Union was not fair and needed to be reviewed. Any hope for revival of the 1960s union was dashed when, shortly after the overthrow of the dictator, the Mogadishu leaders declared their own government without consulting or involvment of the SNM leaders. Mogadishu folks were more interested in looting and pillaging the state organs rather than help revive the country from the brinks. That was the straw that broke any hope of a Unity's back. And as they say the rest is history.
