Che -Guevara;937893 wrote: Ace. When the Republic imploded, it didn't neatly crumble into North-South. The civil war created tribal homelands and the struggle against Barre waged by tribes not by Somaliland or any other regional administration. And at the end, tribes will decide the final outcome and solution won't come in neatly packaged divorce settlement. These talks are good beginning but they falsely assume that there are only two Somalis whose reconciliation will result in lasting peace. Che you are right that the implosion of the former republic did not result in a neat North-South divide because division was not the intention of any of the parties who were responsible for the downfall the republic. However, just like the Somaliland of today, the Somaliland of the 1950s was tribal and divided on unity. Their were political parties which opposed the union and campaigned against it. The majority of Somalilanders in the 1950s were unionists and so had the last say. But it was not tribes which negotiated the union, it was the careered politicians speaking in the name of Somaliland. And like the rest of the African continent and much of the wider world, Somaliland's borders are colonial and have international legitimacy.

Its reassuring to know the usually large entourage which follow the president are seated in the economy class. There is no justification to seat anyone else in the business class given the dire economic situation of most Somalilanders.

During the first halve of the 20th century, the Arabs foolishly thought they were going after their "interest" by collaborating with the French and British in their war against their Muslim brothers of the Ottoman empire. Guess what became of that "interest"? Colonisation, the division of the Arab lands into fiefdoms hostile to one another, the wholesale give away of Palestine to the Jews, exploitation, and perpetual humiliation was the reward they got. Now what was that "interest" of yours again?:cool:

Much confused? There is not any one single group that is defeated in protracted Soomaali civil war. We are all defeated, hence that is why you are in Ottawa and I in Koronto. For your information Mr MMA, the defeated lot were defeated by the civilised people of Somaliland and expelled from our country. And what you consider "victories" were bombardments of unarmed civilians by the defeated cowards. Mr MMA who told you that there was no defeated group? Why do you think there certain folks wailing all over the world and yearning for the return of their golden age of robbery and false clan bride which was brutally brought to an end by the SNM warriors?

You are speaking for your Somali clans that reside in Hargeisa, part of Buroa and Barbara. Well, when the father of Somali nationalism, Sayid Mohamed Abdulla Hassan, was fighting to remove the British colonialists from the sacred lands of Somalis, your forefathers were collaborators with the enemy; they acted as the night vision goggles and the guiding torch for them (the British infidels). In all battles on land the Somali dervish nationalists were victorious. The British being the most powerful empire in the human universe at that time, undertook a campaign of aerial bombardment against TALEEX, the first Somali capital city and the seat of the Dervish power.Thus Somalis were the first people in Africa who were victimized by the air attack using new weapon technology of explosive materials. In a span of fortnight, this air campaign killed more than 50,000 Somalis in Taleex and the surrounding areas. This savagery murder would not had been possible without your clans collaboration with the infidels. The proof of the pudding is eating. When the dervish movement was defeated as the result of aerial power, the British armed the collaborating clans who used their new found weaponry power to rob the Dervish clans of their she camels and lands. Thus your clan killed thousands of Somali nationalists aftermath of the defeat of the dervish movement. The anger the writer is directing to the distinguished Somali general Ali Samater is unfounded. The general is only guilty of defending the sovereignty of the nation under the direct order of Somali people. Look; the lead warrior from writer's clan under the command of the British colonists who was given the job to verify the death of Sayid Mohamed in Iimay and led the campaign of terror in the lands of the devish, is still alive and is the spiritual leader of the seccessionists in Hargeisa. This man killed thousands of Somalis in 1922 to 1935. His name is Abdi Waraabe (Abdi the Hyena). So as the saying goes what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Why don't you and the British government first apologize to the Somali people and then compensate them for your barbaric actions????? Waxa aduunka ugu daran dad sheeko ciyaal tariikh u qaatay. Kulahaa dervishes British empire ladagaalamay!! Yaa u sheegay waxan uu sheegayo inay ahaayd jabhad meelahaa lagu cayrsado;) They were Somaliland's local terrorist group who were chased into the bushes by the colonial government of that time. They neither had support of the public nor the carriage to fight their "enemy". Such a useless lot.

That is true Coofle. Especially in Somaliland, the combination of a very bad policy by successive governments who encouraged land grabbing in order to fill their own pockets, the lack of other investment opportunities for local investors, and the hyper inflation of land caused by speculation and the two aforementioned situations is making life difficult for a lot of poor people and is also causing conflicts like the incident in Burco.

Maashaa Allah, this is a beautiful photo of Mogadisho. If only Mogadisho showed the world such photos in its 22 years of madness, Somalis would have some dignity today.
