“And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance, In order that you may not transgress (due) balance. So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance." (Ar-Rahmaan 55:7-9)
The principle of "Adl" conveys the notion of "Equity" and "Justice", and making two things equal with the underlying idea of equal distribution to be of exact standard neither less nor more maintains the balance and equilibrium and ensures stability.
Somaliland elites have become far removed from ‘Adl’, while it once was known for having a degree of social ‘Justice’ which formed the the basis for the peace and stability in the region, today it’s elites publicly and shamelessly distribute their sense of injustice and complete lack of fairness. The same elites supporting SL troops fighting against the people in Las Anod are calling for SL restraint and diplomacy in Gacan Libaax, one couldn’t have thought of a more ugly and naked form of moral and social injustice and decay.
There are exceptions though, such as MP Casoowe and thinker Jamafalaag, but if those kind of reasonable voices are not heard and followed and SL doesn’t reverse its current course soon, then I fear for what is to come of SL.
