General Samatar is a patriotic man who served his country with distinction. A competent man who earned his stripes by merit. It is the duty of the Somali Government to defend this man against this frivolous action. Somalia is awashed with war criminals lets prosecute them first.

SomaliaRising, All Somalis are Gaaloraacs (whatever that is). DoctorKenney, All Somalis are House Negroes today. Even worst they are Hut Negroes. Tillamook, All Somalis are Laangaabs and maangaabs.

Mr Hoehne appears to be a Kacaan revisionist. lol Seriously though on the whole, it is a fair and balanced Essay i only notice a one minor mistake In this period, the Dervishes also gained their most prestigious victory in the battle of Jiidali (near today’s town of Bur’o). In this battle, the British commander of the new Camel Constabulary, Richard Corfield, was killed by Dervished on 9 August 1913 Richard Corfield was killed in Calmadow and not jidaali. Jiidali is in sanaag and it was Dervish fort.

The British did not do Genocide in Somaliland you family and most like you did 1 million innocent civilians ,Killed by Your Siyad Barre Regime And Still you have the stupdniss to come here and point fingers. Haweyeen fuqul Hawiyaan, I dont feel shame for u I feel pity for you likes. Properly the most humane thng would be to put your likes down. Listen walaal I am not condemning your ancestors for serving the British. After all they were just a illiterate provincial peasants who got caught up in a system they did not understand. The British were not there to help our forefathers. in fact they were there to subjugate our ancestors and to expropriate whatever resources and wealth they could from our land. They saw your forefathers not as equals or as fellow human beings but as an uncultured primitive savages whom they had over a God given dominion. However, if you wanna take pride in that then it is up to you.

When I saw your heading I automatically knew you were going to be wrong. In fact when it comes to history I always see Somalilanders telling either a half truths or a complete lies. lol.

<cite> @Hawdian said:</cite> Very nice to see . Its like looking back at my own family history as many of my family members served for The British and fought both in Africa ( Mad Mullah rebellion) and in other parts of the British Empire ( in British Burma). Wow, no only do you disclosed that information freely but you also see it as source of pride. I'm shamed and embarrassed on your behalf!

The Gish Gallop is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent of small arguments that their opponent cannot possibly answer or address each one in real time. More often than not, these myriad arguments are full of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments - the only condition is that there be many of them, not that they be particularly compelling on their own. They may be escape hatches or "gotcha" arguments that are specifically designed to be brief, but take a long time to unravel I still believe that the similarities are purely coincidental.

The sentiments expressed above are just as destructive as those of the tribal secessionists. It does nothing but antagonise and widen the division.

Dear me, what a pitiful load of nonsense. In order to address every one of your half-truths, lies and straw man argument one would need write several books. Incidentally, this train-wreck prolix posts reminds of a form of debate called Gish Gallop. Gish Gallop is the debating technique of drowning the opponent in such a torrent of small arguments that their opponent cannot possibly answer or address each one in real time. More often than not, these myriad arguments are full of half-truths, lies, and straw-man arguments - the only condition is that there be many of them, not that they be particularly compelling on their own. However, the similarities between the Gish Gallop debating form and your rant are purely coincidental that has arisen from your disorganised thought process. But to be fair there is really no eloquent or educated way to articulate tribalism as the bases for nationhoodd.

<cite> @Freedom78 said:</cite> If you have issue with Somaliland and it's people then let them go Your infantile remark has been noted, do you have anything else to contribute? No one has issues with Somaliland. It's our land and its inhabitants are our people, our brother and sisters and our fellow Somali citizens.

<cite> @Xaaji Xunjuf said:</cite> Somaliland nationalism is stronger than what ever. Somalia based ethno nationalism What next Xaaji, how black is white? The truth is Somaliland is based on extreme tribalism, xenophobia and imagined differences. Despite the artificial construction of tribal identies such as Somaliland, there is only one Somali nation, which is united by ethnicity, culture, religion and language.

Somaliland represents everything that is wrong with Somali society. It's the embodiment of tribalism and the cult-like traits of groupthink. It's is a dogmatic and irrational belief pursued with zealotry conviction.

<cite> @Tillamook said:</cite> I personally believe it is a very wrong headed policy. It's one thing to pursue unilateral secession, but it a whole different ball game when Somaliland makes allies out of a known international terrorist organization such as Al Shabab. Discuss! Where i have heard this type of allegations before? Oh.. could it be because it has been a very popular strategy deployed by every known tyrant, demagogue and opportunists in the world since 2001.

OK! so according to your logic the people of "Somaliland" are his people where as the people of southern "Somalia" or not his people. Hence for they are foreigners? One more question what do he share with the people of Somaliland that he does not share with the "foreigners" in Southern Somalia?

<cite> @Xaaji Xunjuf said:</cite> The people of somaliland So if by your definition "the people of Somaliland" are "his people", what are the people of southern Somalia to him?

There will never be a proper Somali State for as long as "we" have this Federal Republic clans of Somalia aka the Federal Republic of Somalia.

I'm sorry but this guy is most impotent Somali President ever and that is truly frightening

<cite> @Xaaji Xunjuf said:</cite> he saw the corruption the deception the dishonesty the betrayal in Somalia,. Precisely!... He finally found a profitable scheme to siphon money from and credulous flock to lead to the "promise land". The guys is an archetypal Somali politician, a transparent huckster and shameless self publicists, whose only concern is for self-preservation and material wealth. <cite> @Xaaji Xunjuf said:</cite>. And if you want tit for tat nin xiiniyaha laga ma taabto. ma sidaasad garateen , than i will join my kin in hargeisa he said. And we will break up this diseased republic god willing What kind of a bloody logic is that?

Why is this rubbish allowed to polute the forum?

Anyone who fires life bullets into a crowd should be charged with murder if anybody is killed.
