Most of them are khat addicts, but Alcohol seems to be in vogue at the moment.

In the 1990s it was unfortunately deemed "normal" to utter blasphemy against everything sacred. But by the limitless glory of Allah, this despicable satanic culture was brought to an end and nowadays it is rare to hear such blasphemy. The fool in question who looks like a worthless alcoholic should not only be stripped of all official responsibilities but should be locked up for years.

Who "they"? Are you talking about the hordes of mindless terrorists in Bay and Bakool who have been transgressing against Islam in word and deed for over a decade or the few alcoholics left in Somaliland? You should be more specific than that to merit a proper reply.

Here are 4 facts that will never change: 1. The Somali has never been under one state, sultanate, kingdom, empire, law (human law), governance system for the last 1000 years; to this day minute and second. Everyone agrees on this fact. If hopefully in the future becomes one empire then that is new creation no restoration. You cannot restore something that never existed. 2. In the 19th century different parts of the Somali reacted differently to the new phenomenon of Europeans. Before then was Persians, Xabeshi, Turkish, a. South in the republic today was the easiest taken with some resistance and some dealing, but easiest none the less b. Djibouti was taken by agreement. Since the Afar has agreed the Somali was left with not many options. Who ever did not like the new arrangement went to Kililka or taday's Somaliland. c. Kililka was the most complex one. There was resistance some of the greatest by Somalis, but there was also agreements. Example some Kililka Somali preferred to ally with Xabeshi hoping the Xabeshi were going to fight against Europeans. Which the Xabeshi did, but only those in the North. The Xabeshi that came to Kililka were selected and ordained by Europeans. Kililka fought and lost, negotiated and lost. d. Somaliland was distrusted by the British. All the British did was just not to have a rebellion. No long term plans, no deep interaction, thus even the name is protectorate not colony like Kenya, Sudan, Uganda etc e. NFD is a nomad that went too far to another continent. Like the Englishmen in America. Some continued being British others rebelled and made new country new system. NFD is a nomad cought with unprepared, unawares that all the Omani, Portuguese, Ottoman...are never coming back. Only Europeans. So no resistance no negotiation no name ind of arrangement to this day. f. Puntland of course like any european kingdom except it did not have allies that are free, self governing, with modern state structure around. The Xabeshi found it too risky, they were scared even to say HI to Puntland, if the Italians, British or French should see them from the corner of their eye. That was the history. Instead of spending time and energy trying to "change something that did not exist, or manufacturing fictions how about doing something that is achievable economically, peacefully and supporting each other: Let the Somali be successful everywhere now and leave all other expensive in life and treasure, uncertain, very little chance of success if at all. Aren't you all happy of the Somali in Djibouti? I bet you deep down even Somailanders feel good about Ghelleh as they knife each other. Kililka people are happy that such a Somali leader exists under the circumstances.
