<cite> @Abu-Salman said:</cite> The key word is indeed "estimates", which means very little apart from pointing out the modesty of urban economy (the GDP per capita can easily double if we just add rural milk production at its market value); how can we compare it then to places like Ethiopia? It is also the case that GDP figures, often understated, were heavily raised up in some African countries, not to mention the informal sector etc (aid or remittances do not count). Still, what is most interesting is that revenues stand at 8% yet the central budget alone is roughly $200 millions this year (around $250 m overall); is this not yet another gross inconsistency? Does that not means that Hargeysa can at least double if not quadruple its revenues to attain the same level as many similar or African countries where revenues range from 20 to 30% of the national output or GDP? It is all very interesting but to be taken with a pinch of salt of course... The $200m budget figure is by no means accurate, not least because the exchange rate between dollar/shillings is arbitrarily set. I would love to know how the WB arrived at their estimate

We have far more important issues to address rather than devoting our energy to an extreme minority of people.

Aristotelese brother, don't listen to these pessimistic naysayers. We have no choice but to change our country and our people because we have no other country and no other people. And I do not believe that The Great Dream is impossible at all. It will take a lot of hard work, dedication and skill but Inshallah if hardworking, intelligent and like-minded young Somalis come together they can transform the country. As for the situation on the ground, I choose to see the cup as half full rather than half empty. The reality is that half of the country is relatively peace and stable and has been for a long time. We can only move forwards. We must only move forwards. I do not think that the political differences are insurmountable, but there needs to be a thoroughly thought out strategy of how these differences might be ironed out. I have been to our homeland and I have seen what the people want and what they are hungry for - its not politicians and divisive politics, its not foreign interests and foreign troops and nor is it war and chaos. What Somali people are genuinly yearning for is peace, development, education, economic opportunities and a better quality of life for themselves, their children, their parents and their families. And it is our responsibility and duty as Somalis to work for the betterment and advancement of our people and our country. We must change the mentality and attitude of our people and cudurka qabyaaladda should, can and will be resolved. Qabiil is meaningless. A person did not choose the family she or he was born into. Nor did another choose the family she or he was born into. It was all pure chance. So to discriminate, differentiate or persecute a fellow Somali, a fellow muslim and a fellow human being - who just like everyone else is trying to get by and is searching for his piece of bread and his cup of water in this world - is illogical, destructive and pointless to the extent possible. A person may not have chosne the family in which she or he was born, but she or he can choose the manner in which to behave and conduct him or herself. And, all people should treat others in the respectful, dignified and pleasant way that they would like to be treated, they would like their mother and father to be treated and their wife and children to be treated. We have no other country. We have no other people. We must re-assert our independence and reclaim our dignity, lest we cease to exist as a country and as a people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ But brother Aristotelese, know that you and I, and many other Somalis around the world who are yearning, striving and working hard for the betterment of their people and their country are not alone. There are many other Somalis out there who have rejected the status quo - who have said no to war, no to anarchy, no to famine and no to division. There are many other Somalis who want development, education, peace and enjoyment for their people. Inshallah we will be successful. And we must be successful because there is no future in living in the past, no joy in despair, no happiness in misery, no peace in war, no dignity in disgrace, no honour in shame, no enjoyment in suffering, no order in anarchy, no wealth in destitution and no success in failure. Dagaal wiil iyo gabar kuma dhashaan, ee way ku dhintaan uun. We have been the animal-county of the world for far too long. We must put that reality in the dustbin of history. We are Somalis. Somalis of the Somali Republic. The Somali Repiblic of the Somali Peninsula. And we are known the world as such. We have no other country. We have no other people. We must re-assert our independence and reclaim our dignity, lest we cease to exist as a country and as a people.

Once Somaliland is recognised by the international community those troublesome eastern regions would be given a referendum to choose which country they wish to be part of- Somaliland or Somalia. And what happens if, hypothetically speaking, another region (of SL) wants independence?
