  5. The US is going to be releasing some documents it got from the raid that killed bin Laden soon. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may/03/osama-bin-laden-documents-release According to the author Peter Bergen, the documents show Bin Laden was so concerned about the damage done to the al-Qaida brand that he wrote to Mukhtar Abu al-Zubair, the leader of the al-Shabaab group in Somalia, telling him not to profess allegiance to al-Qaida as an open declaration of loyalty would be counter-productive. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/04/30/opinion/bergen-bin-laden-document-trove/index.html On August 7, 2010, bin Laden wrote to Mukhtar Abu al-Zubair, the leader of the brutal Al-Shabaab militia in Somalia, telling him that Al-Shabaab ("the Youth") would be better off if it did not declare itself publicly to be part of al Qaeda. Bin Laden advised, "If asked, it would be better to say there is a relationship with al Qaeda, which is simply a brotherly Islamic connection, and nothing more." Bin Laden explained to the Shabaab leader that al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq had attracted many enemies by adopting the al Qaeda name. He also pointed out that it would be better for fundraising purposes if Shabaab didn't identify itself as being part of al Qaeda, because businessmen in the Arab world "who are willing to help the brothers in Somalia" would be more likely to do so if they thought they were not supporting al Qaeda directly.

  11. ^The Sool issue is what provides the greatest evidence to my belief that Somaliweyn needs to be reinvented. When Somalis that are deemed to be the closest, through marriage, culture, dialect etc are the ones where the greatest enmity exists, to then argue that all Somalis will be brought together and everything will be rosy is just fantasy. In the case of Somaliland, by forcing the idea of SL on those who don't want it, they are only repeating the failure of Somalia. However when protest that Somaliland has no right over a a group of people who don't want it, why do some believe Mogadishu has right over Somaliland? Isn't this hypocrisy.?
