Last time we complained Xaaji, the foolish masses called us xenophobic.

This is part of her Go to School initiative, which has the goal of providing 1,000,000 Somalis access to education by September. Allow me to rant here for a bit. This "Go to School" campaign is supposedly for Somali kids in Somalia, and yet the damn slogan of the whole thing is in ENGLISH! Since when did English become the official language? I thought they taught in SOMALI in SOMALIA, not English! How can a people that completely disregard their own language even dream of educating a nation. These so-called ministers and that foolish president should be the first to be educated in how to speak Somali properly and to appreciate their language. The hopeless oaf (X Sh Max'uud) and the foolish lady (Marwo Fawsiyo) can't stop saying "cilaaqaad" this "cilaaqaad" that. Do these fools not realise that the Somali word is xiriir? Where do they get this cilaaqaad rubbish? Do they think it is ilbaxnimo?!? Phew. End of rant. As for the scheme you mentioned, that was for only a limited time period. The one in Indonesia takes place every year.

It's a show done by Al Jazeera's 101 East programme and exploring education in Indonesia. In the programme they talk about a programme whereby young university graduates are sent for 1 year to remote villages to teach young children. I think this is a brilliant idea and a wonderful way to start your career and to get to know your country. Maybe Somalia should consider something similar?

lol Xaaji taas ha inoo dambeyso I've come a long way in my view of Somali unity. Before I used to believe in a strong central state as the sole 'real' government of the land but not anymore. That view is impractical, only existed for a short while with drastic results and unnatural to the Somali whose pure existence is based on his autonomy and independence cemented by his refusal to be dictated to by any man. In other words, we have been since time imemoral very independent people that dislike interference. The position I now hold is that I am willing to share a country, a flag, an economy, an army, an education system (broadly) and a faraway government in Xamar with limited powers. Then let every region form a regional council to deal with their own affairs like we're currently doing in Kenya (Garissa county/region has it's own governor and assembly, same with Wajir and Mandhera counties). In essence it's a very decentralised form of government where the most power is in the local authority's hands. I'm sure even fellow secessionists will agree to this.

Funny old man

Why debate with an irrational secessionist about such a weighty topic?

No thank you.
