Raage Ugaas, the great Somali poet of late 19th century and early 20th century said: Baahida nin baa jira Kula daydayaayo daalna ka badane Aanse Doonahayn in hesho Dayim Abidkaaye Dadkuna moodi Duur wadasho Wax ukala dahsoonayne. The Reer Mudug know only one type of war, the fist fight, but the coastal communities or those with deep cultural civilizations fight in eleven different ways. Muuse Biixi is a deraged former Soldier who want to be a king in HArgeisa where every man is his own Suldaan. He not only misjudge the north, but the Somali people in general. In Hargeisa, they already call him " Muuse Handraab" the man who closed the gates. He is trying to be the same league with Omar Geelle, the former " Vice police squad" member, who became intelligence director and killed people for a living. HE brought both the Chinese and the Americans in the same house, but when the Americans ploted to move to Berbera for a change, Geelle struck and destablized both Berbera and Somaliland indirectly. Americans leaving Djibouti means many things. Knowing the coming cold war with China, the Americans might destablize the whole island than allowing the Chinese to share with them. Rather than tell Biixi to accept peace and withdraw from Laascaanood, he told him to fight to the death while sending false signals to the region as the man mediating the parties. AS such, the Americans had cancelled the African militery exsesise in Berbera and moved to Kenya. No body want to come to a war zone. Geelle, the double agent had scored against Somaliland again. Bebera has always been his target . Now, how about the leader of the elder counsil of Mogadishu HSM? A deadly war is been fought in Somalia and he is double talking like an elder who is paid from different accounts. How brain dead is Somalia that the leader of the country is hidding from his responsibility to save lives and bring peace. Why you are entertaining and laughing with Muuse Biixi in Djibouti if you can't call him when things are tough.Furthermore, he is traveling as usual while the UN and Human Right organizations are demanding a resolution for the conflict. We all know how weak the Somali government is since 1991, but one might think that the so called president would use his little legitimacy for leverage to pull people to his direction. If he keeps in this road, he might go down with Gelle who is in his last days. The UN must take its responsibilities seriously and take charge of the issue since Somalia has a president who is in charge MOgadishu and the surrounding towns only.

Aideed was the ally for SNM and they were waiting for him to be president so they could work out an agreement. Aideed got betrayed by his own clan and the capital descended into civil war which I think the SNM were hoping for. So when they did declare independence the international community would buy our story and let Somaliland join the U.N. You are right, SNM didn't think things through and tend to serve their own selfish interests. We are cursed by Allah and we all know this.

Countless people including former UN envoy Mohamed Sahnoun told them in 1993 to declare the government of Somalia. The Maakhiri delegates from Sanaag in 1991 at the Burco Shir told how illogic is have to two Somali governments in Africa in these difficult times. Some of those men were former diplomats and expereinced beraucrats. Finally, they even told them, " Let us declare we are the real Somali state and put up the blue flag. With the Mogadishu mess Puntland would have joined and the world would have recognized the Hargeisa government. To rule Somalia you must have confedence and the vission. The men of SNM had a village mentality. Ruling over few pounds in the Somali sea was enough for the angry men of SNM.. Go and research, even A/raxman Tuur told them how illogic it was to declare session . Today players are the same villegers who opposed the logic.
