It was a meant as an innocent joke or reference to a new clan name used by the TFG's 4.5 formula for the Somalilanders. Not meant to insult anyone.

Inalillaah. Ilaahay ha qaboojiyo.

Back then people also came from British Somaliland, they even have their own neighbourhoud in Kismayo. So what is your point?

d/p

Reality is that Puntland without Maakhir, SSC, Golgodob, Ras Caseyr is equal to a small sub- sub- sub-clan family plagued bioy internal violance, intrigue's, assasinations and weak institutions like the PIS run like a small family business. Ofcourse this can be considered as negative critism, then you can always look at the nice pictures Faroole has produced and close your eyes for reality.

There a lot of shops in Lasanod owned by SSC. But if you are talking about setting up an own Governance structure. Lasanod and Sool already their own local and regional goverments. It has local and regional Police, Prisons, courts, regional health and educational offices, etc. Would be silly to create another double structure, dont you think?

Indeed! Where can I get a 'I love SSC' t-shirt?

I agree about ridiculousness of the term. How else should we call the non-Western music?

All Somali's across borders share many things, even kinship. I have cousins in Djibouti, Ethiopia and even in Moqadishu. But that still isnt enough to overcome the political reality and governance structure that one is used to. Faroole was not in power when people from Aynabo, Erigavo and Las Anod chose to join Somaliland.

Ha la yaabin waa jaceyl ka dhexeesa muwaadiniinta. You guys should know, as you post or react on the the most SL threads after JB and XX.

Then its ok. But if I hear Adeero is in Taleex, I might decide to be a party crasher.

A_khadar, is is true that Isimada want Puntland to participate in the Conference? If some are bringing adeero to the shir. Then I demand as the abti to be invited as well. That would be only fair.

Xaaji, this aint that way to save face. Marka la ceebobay wa la iska aamusaa oo hoos ahaan meesha looga baxaa.

A positive step towards uniting the region of Mudug under one Governance structure. Will North-Galkacyo soon joins this cooperation?

Its funy how Puntlanders now pretend to be supporting SSC. While Puntland opposed SSC from the beginning and has done everything it could to destroy it. Do they think that SSC will fall for it?

So am I. But you dont seem to get it. Let met put diffrently. The days of 4.5, power clans or blocks as you call them is over. So when the people from Southern Somalia liberate themselves from Al Shabaab, they for sure wont let themselves be dominated again by so called power clans. But only accept that structure of which they are 100% part of, as is the case now with Al Shabaab.

May I remind you that Al Shabaab is stil power in the most parts of Somalia? They only have been defeated in Muqdishu. Al Shabaab can only be chased out from the rest of the Somali peninsuala through common efforts from all Somali's and all actors, this includes the people from the Jubba's and Bay Bakool. Eventhought you dont consider them as a 'power block'.
