I do not have doubt, there are some of somaliland members of parliament that are patriotic somalis. There were many somali patriots came from that region, the case any other somali region. The fact is there were at least 6 governments since Siyad Bare government collapsed and all of them failed to take control of the country and manage it. There are reasons, that they all failed and we have to talk about it. I have been supporter, every new government what ever form it created. We can not blame every government and wait the next one, when the old one left nothing in place. We have identified the obstacles that stops somali governments to succeed. IC will simply say, it is corruption and while that is partially true, is not all the problems.
One things that we can not ignore is, there are people who do not want see any change to take place in somalia. They are ok with status quo although they are small minority but powerful financially and politically. These people include business people who want to have monopoly to export and import product.These people include telecommunication companies who do not pay taxes and continue to use national assets. These people include politicians who do not want elections. These people include minority army groups who control area and do not want let it go. These people include looters who posses public property. These group include fake federalist who want the country divided for ever in order to benefit
Itis fact, somaliland government do not want see strong central government in mogadishu. It cannot operate independently if there is a strong government in mogadishu. Recently Waraabe has warned to dismantle somali government sooner rather later. Although they often said we do not have nothing to do what happening in the south, they are very much involved. They are part of the problem and solution. We can not simply deny that.
People had made connection between alshabaab and somaliland elements. As we know now that organisation was created in Hargeysa and top leaders were from Hargeysa. Some of the groups I mentioned in fact support somaliland to be a independent state. Some of trouble business people have also own business in Hargeysa. And then you have IC elements who are connected, some of these groups.
Again this is a connected small group of people and if you do not deal with them and target them individuals with power of the public and government resources. This government or any government in future this will be trouble.
