And really what you set up in Hargeysa can be setup in LA. There's no unique advantage in the grand scheme of things in being part of any Somali entity. Interesting points raised by Che. It makes one wonder, the irony and contradictions that is spewing from our North-Western brothers, in regards to "Somali Unity is non-existent", yet in the same token, boastfully declaring that they have "unity" within "some" Somali clans in the North, which is completely untrue. You cannot choose and pick. The I-clan in Hargeysa, freely declare their wish to not share anything with the D-clan and the H-clan, yet in the same sentence, they lay claim to sub-clans of the D-clan and the H-clan (Fiqishini). lol If that's not hypocrisy at it's finest, I don't know what is then.

By Waqooyi, you mean the 6 regions (Waqooyi Galbeed, Togdheer, Sool, Awdal and Sanaag) or are they specifically from one/two specific regions within Waqooyi? The man at 5:10 is having a hard time talking, as if he's really not daacad about the whole thing, he even chocked on his words, and at 5:15 the word "Ictiraaf" came out of nowhere. lol

Ahmed Mahamed Mahamud (Siilaanyo) and Faisal Ali Warabe both look young and skinnier than now. Edna Aden looks just about the same. Was this the first Multi-Party election held in Somaliland? You will see the son of Michael Maryamo, named Roble speaking at 3:09. Any info on the Michael Maryamo family? Is Roble a Muslim or Christian like his father before him?

From my observation, Somaliland's economy has probably quadrupled, if not more since 2003. How did this changes came about in less than 10 years?

^ You're not being transparent. One of the fundamental pillars of Democracy is transparency and you're lacking that pillar itself, yet ironically celebrating a 'democratic process' that had nothing to do with democracy. I think any Somali clan is capable of setting up ballot boxes at their villages and towns, where the voters would vote for candidates whom not surprisingly are related to the voters one way or another. Be transparent and the truth shall free you.

True love is not a flower That springeth in an hour; Its flint will not strike fire At casual desire. Love is an infant rare Begotten, slow to bear; Its lime must mingle long Before its base is strong. And then not soon will it Be undermined, and split; Firm will its structure stand, Its fabric still expand. This truth is readily Confirmed, because we see That things too quickly grown Are swiftly overthrown. Mine is a stubborn soil To plough with arduous toil, Intractible indeed To tiller and to seed. But once the roots begin To strike and thrive therein, Come bounteous rain, come drought, The lusty stem will sprout. - Ibn Hazam
