The reason why Somaliland regained its independence wasnt about unfair treatment. But about failed union. The reason why SNM opposed the regime was about unfair treatment(which Riyaale never was a member of). Stay on the facts. Besides your leader was the highest ranking member of the Politburea, Navy and member of the Central Committee in the Siad Barre regime of Somalia. He was responsible for the acts of the past regime.

The most ONLF supporters = former Siad Barre supporters. p.s. Riyaale never was member of the SNM. So he never opposed a dictator, he didnt oppose Siad and he never opposed Zenawi. So no contradiction there.

Xaaji, I dont care if the name is good for western PR. My land is the Somali region of Ethiopia not ******ia and never was called like that. I can even call my land also my own clan name, which is ******nia. But this is wrong as other clans also reside in the region.

Xaaji, how much will get Sool, Sanaag and Buhoodle from the budget increase? You know Rayaale's administration Invested a big percentage from all goverment revenues in Sool and Sanaag.

Even Faroole cant visit Erigavo and Las Anod, the capitals of 2 regions claimed by Puntland. So what is your point?

Osman was an Admiral, member of the central committe, chief of the Politbureau under Siad Barre( the worst dictator in the history of Africa) while today he is opposing another regime. By the way he is held responsible by another fraction within the ONLF for the murder of Dr.Dalools death(former ONLF head). Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Omar_Osman So many contradictions.

Peace is a beauty.

The political vieuws of the ONLF are so contradicting, that I cant take the organisation and its supporters very serieuz. For example: -Everyone who disagrees with their mission or criticizes their approach, is called “Woyane”. While the majority in the Somali region dont support the mission of the ONLF and neither that of Ethiopia. So why call the woyane while clearly they have no love for the ethiopians and ask them for their political opinion and vieuws and take that in to account. -The Somali region, is made up of different clan groups. ONLF acknowledges this facts and at the same dismisess the 'Somali' name and calls the land, ******ia! breaking and dismissing the bond that holds together the region’s inhabitants over a relatively new clan terminology”******ia” but at the same time insisting it represents all Somali's. -The previous name of the Liberation from was WSLF(Western Somali Liberation Front). So is ONLF liberating only the land inhabited by the O's or also by the Western Somali's? If the to be freed includes Western Somali region, why not ask me for my opinion if I want to be freed by the ONLF? -The ONLF political charter states that the whole Somali region should secede from Ethiopia and become independent country. While ONLF supporters are against an independent Somaliland. -ONLF's mission is to fight against Ethiopia occupation for freedom, while well armed ONLF millitant fight on the side of their clans men in rural disputes on water wells and land between pastoralist from different clans. This raises the question, who is the ONLF fighting rural pastoralist or Ethiopian army. -ONLF is the first Somali organisation using openly clan slogans in gatherings to rally popular support, and to recruit new followers, new meat for the ideological slaughter house. -Many ONLF supporters served proudly under the dictatorial regime of Siad Barre, at the same time opposing the dictatorial regime of Zenawi. Supporting one dictator who refused peace to many and opposing another dictator for the same fact. These are only some of the fundamental contradictions observed in the organisation called ONLF.

thierry henry, irrelevant of how you perceived this event. the conference was historical and tunrout of even a single member of the diaspora is a win for the administration as it didnt have any support in the diaspora before. So, one could say it was a defeat for those who remain to refuse the peace.

Thankfull, my post is very clear. Faroole has the support of all his people. All the members of the trinity support Faroole and his policies. Havent met one who doesnt support him. people like you and dukey and all other trinity members support the policies of his administration and therefore are accountable of what he does. But not all Somalilanders support the Kulmiye administration. The majority does, but people like me and many others support UDUB or UCID. We are very critical of many policies of the Kulmiye administration and therefore not accountable of what the administrations does.

Passerby, did you attend the meetings? How was it?

Abtigiis, dont you even know your own flag. Take a good look at it cause you need to learn how your own Ethiopian flags looks like.

Thierry Henry;689652 wrote: He needs to pick up his teeth It seems that a large crowd has turned up for ina ileys. Quite diffrent from what Zack and Che want us to belief. This is quite historical, that large parts of the diaspora is supporting the Somali regional goverment. First time a Somali regional president was received and welcomed by the diaspora. The ONLF seems to be loosing its grip on the O's and Ethiopia's divide and rule policy seems to be working. Couple of years back it would be unthinkible that any Somali in the diaspora would support the regional goverment in Ethiopia.
