It don't matter, the people there will name what they want. Somali-west is fine... and for a related story, Somaliland is called Somalia or North west province. or worse parts of it is called puntland and a hargeisaland.

It don't matter what name is called as long as there is an effort to get it is underway. The worst of all are those who call it "killil 5" as a member among the other regions with repect the enemy's wishes.

Too late, too little and too fake. This false accusation was covered over a month ago... Even then it was a non-event; were you living in a cave for the past months? Buddy look at the date of the article from Shabelle: it says April 4th.

Oh! the poor people of Somaliland had to wait what? and who said the southern will support what? unheard and blasphemy! The UIC was the most Southern-only composed gov ever -- they respected the unity of the land as sacred. Any representative gov that merges from Somalia would not allow an inch for a separatist punch. Yet another excuse to entertain the folks up there for decades more. The fact is there is no case for succession. Period. There was never a Somaliland to begin with, there will never be a new made up one.

One of the pillars of Somaliweyn is Somaliland. You can't discuss to have greater Somalia without talking about each parts first, therefore talking about somaliland is fair shake. It isn't that far gone from what we have so far so keeping it in the fold is 1 st priority.... Bro.. Riyale is doing good, but the people surrounding him and the opposition aren't. That is my line so don't try to shorting out

Riyale should be re-elected at all costs. Since 346 days till the mock elections are due, there is time to put together some sl paper money and distribute to buy such votes legally to get Riyale back. The two mentained, Silanyo and Warabe, can still play their well versed "Oposition" roles. If either of clan mates will make Somaliland look like a single-clan invested club. Unless Riyale again, the recognition will depart even further along the corner and disappear.

Mj, Don't be angry sxb. Somaliweyn still lingers. We must all unite to solve all problems once and for all. Somaliweyn includes Somaliland as well. All I eluded was that Riyale is a Somaliwey-ner at heart, wich is good. That gets me sent back to school?? :confused:

There are, for now, a more interesting things going on, but still the "Somali-West-land belongs to Somalia. Whenever Somalia gets around, it will be done. For know, we know what is happenings, and has been for a while, in the mother of all -- the republic. In the meantime, the locals are doing whatever little to immobilize the enemy. The collaborators as well.

I think Riyale is doing a good job (bad for somaliland). Imagine if he were a real-Sland-believer guy, with all the years the south remain in this spin. He could've "Brought in" the recognition to finish it off all. AFAIK, He could be just one of us :cool:

What do you think, you make the call. ONLF was in the news recently big time... did you miss that? And BTW, do you really have to miss-spell the name of the region not the clan name It is called Somali-West.

Riyale and Abdullahi are both in Malez's pockets. We know that neither could refuse their master's agenda as each owes their regions existence and maintenance to him. They must agree to it, that is whatever is handed to them... when they do meet after a bit of xox hugs and kisses.

Mujaahid, TFG and Puntland are two different things altogether. I've talked about the support of the Puntland odoyaasha and the hawd, has nothing to do with the Mogadishu. There are something called anti TFG Puntlanders and a lot of them. I've stated over and over, if are words ever make way.... Anyway, good luck with Somaliland and Anti-Somaliland stance, the ball is on your both courts.... :confused:

So long as you all keep and carry this thing called clan, there won't be a single nationalism. The clan blood is thicker that is why. Islam is the only antidote to Clan to some degree, till even that gets exploited. Sayid and his band were the first to try out "Nationalism" till they discovered the power and the serge of the clan, albeit easily exploitable, that lies under that, till British areal massacre disbanded.

Sxb, taa ONLF halkan kama socoto oo inta badani ma xiiseeyaan. Tigreeda waa taa la siiyay Soomaali Galbeed, Xamarna waa taa ku socota, markaa odoyaasha Puntlaantu hadalkoodu kaba xiiso badan..

If Somaliland won't secure the border, then Puntland will secure its own. either way, peaceful means is impossible.

These are not villages, but are oil fields of which the locals have been displaced the last of them last year. DQ, how can you call Ethiopian forces guarding these as a "civilian"?

Let us just hope this a warning not to mess others oil is heard. If anyone is taking oil out of the ground, it better be Somali not TPLF. I also hope them to contunue such operations as needed.

They've been warned over and over not to exploit those lands.. this follows through that warning. The sad thing is, as usual, they'll go after the villages in the area and try raze them, but they'll never rest in peace..

^^ His health is a reasonable concern and is worthy of areport. Waagacusub has no credibility to be challenged. It's a one-man-show dude.

sxb. OK. -- under heightened security pretext. We all know Galkacyo was the front line of no so long ago during UIC sweeps. Still rounding is not an excusable act if there are other alternatives. The rule there is for all Somalis could work and live, and they do. For documents, do they accept Somaliland passports? :eek:

Wait a minute -- there could be something else. I'll let you know what else comes up. In the mean time, it stands.

MJ, The people on the plane were deportees from Saudi Arabia, not from Mogadishu wars. If my memory serves correctly, Somaliland IS the one helping innocent civilians from Muqdisho who have found home in Somaliland whom plane was turned back by Puntland authorities. Meanwhile Puntland is the one who is rounding them up and sending them back. Your memory failed. That event was greatly exaggerated in order to cash-in the unfortunate Mogadishu Massacre. The real thing however was a non-event. It simply was Mogadishu destined people could not land there because the airport there was closed, so was to wait for a while things settle there. It was a matter of choice whether to continue to Hargeisa over Galkacio (not as save). We all know how nice Hargeisa is, don't we? Galkacio asks visa no-one, unlike the newly-found-friend of the south called Somaliland!

This Dahar affair is far from over, there are more miles to cover while some are trying to cut it short and steer it to the Mogadishu/TFG area. Just today, the minister of sports "Who is from Dahar" have his press conference. He went against the Minister of Difense Mr. Waqaf who in turn went against the President Mr Riyale. So dramatics, read for yourself here: http://www.somaliland.org/ns.asp?ID=07042106

MJ, Nothing to shiver here as my answer of TFG is up there, and was NO. I can quote back here for your pleaser, understandably was not was not suitable for your stand. Things are not as black or white as you wished your response to be. Many shades of gray need be considered in reality. Likewise, I can ask many questions like wise, but the answer is so predictable. You don't support the Ethiopian aggression, yet the whole Somaliland existence starts and ends with it and so on... it goes on and will repeat itself.

Many Somalis recall with regard on to their own horrors committed to them and would never set foot again to defend it. The sad thing is all are just looking while historical enemy is shelling indiscriminately on the innocent.....
