I just gave you an example of how the locals can improve their environment without a dime from anybody so don't be so quick to dismiss it. Aid isn't always the answer and leads to dependency. Self help is sustainable and builds local confidence in themselves. Remember how Somalia kick started it development through iskaa wax u qabso?

It is a good thing but Somalis themselves can achieve much more by themselves. Check this vid out. It rains in these regions but most of the rain is lost when the water runs through the valleys and into the ocean. If the locals could organise themselves and damn the valleys to stop the water escaping, we might just see the great P/land deserts turn green:

Since no one answered I'll just tell the answer. It's Hunguri.

Yes, that's right Xaaji. Join the illustrious lists of whores in search of the elusive recognition. Some of those people are actually neighbours with the Jews and were acting sensibly. S/land is 1000s of miles away from that region and has no business there. But even the Pope baa la soo dhaweyn if he brings the recognition saw ma aho?

You're still alive?

Wow. Reer S/land really are desperate for that elusive recognition aren't they? They'll whore themselves and their values to whoever looks their way.

He's done it before. Waa a known liar.

It's not xenophobia. The oromos belong in Oromia. Let them stay in their lands and not enter ours. What I wonder is, what is the ONLF/Ileey doing about this? Wheres The Zack to explain what's going on?

The good news was too unbearable to you start this nonsense about numbers. Haters will be haters.

NY, you're a miskiin. Don't believe Alpha's lies. He's not getting a new TV stand, taas anaa kuu og.

I doubt that. I'm pretty sure as the country started to modernise the sultanate that had the most natural resources would've started to dominate. Whoever has the resources has the cash, and whoever has the cash has the power.

Apparently it rained in Gsa today as well. I love the earthy smell and watching the huge rain drops hit the floor.

Because we were nomads who had no need for governments whereas these people are settled people that need rule of law to bring order to their lives. Also, we had many small sultanates and if things were allowed to go naturally, eventually one sultanate would gain power over the others through military force or otherwise.

Now lets go back to Somalinimo we still have no clear definition what Somalinimo is we know Somali , but not Somalinimo , aniga awoowgay Suldaanka toga herer yaalay, he was not just a Somali , because he allowed his kingdom inu mid baydhabo joogo inu wax ku yeesho. Suldaankayagu ama awoowgay waligay ma arkin dadkaas meel ay joogaan iyo masajid ay ka eedamayaan xita. We were not a nation, were Somali tribes masses nomads and farodhoqayaals who spoke the Somali language but we didn't share a nation the first time we shared a nation was in 1960. Wrong. The Somali nation was the Somali people and the lands they inhabited whether or not they were/are politically united or not. Just like you had the German nation before the 20th Century. They were in many different countries yet they were still Germans and collectively formed the German nation.

And I don't trust reer Mandera to rule my affairs, hence the decentralised system. Don't let cuqdad fog your vision. The only things that'll probably change for your region in this sytem is the flag, other minor things and hopefully that terrible name that you can't pronounce. Xaaji, there was no Somali State, but their was a Somali Nation that shared somalinimo. Nationhood =/= politics. It can be linguistic, ethnic and cultural. I'm waiting for the day you tell us you're not Somali.
