Brother, Garaad Caanood i see you still cant except somaliand or what you term North West somalia leaving, as i deep down known even if the issue of Sool, and Sang were solved you would still have issue of somaliland living, which for the life of me i dont understand, to issue of buhoodle its in region firmly in support of somaliland, and as you claim let the people choose let the full region itself vote for somalia or with somaliland, you and i both no the outcome of that vote, in Sang you have areas that are in support of somaliland so what do you suggest the rights of those people be to follow the majority, because you say so then you must say the same thing about buhoodle. The adwal region wont have their own state for the simple fact they were never pre-1960 i nation, unlike somaliland that was, plus my brother the issue of pandra box being open is unfound even the A.U. fact finding mission de-bunk this view so that point is not strong. What we have here are two regions controled by two different nations, IE UK and Italy with set borders, after they left the two independent nations choose not forced to combine there natios to one, with the hopes of other regions coming, but in the end that never happened and one region chooose to leave its simple like that, look at it in none-emotional way brother look at it in black and white and you see the truth that regardless of the issue of Sool and Sang people for some odd reason still refuse to let somaliland go, and i to this day dont undersand there logic to have region who does not want them being cried for. Naxar Nugaaleed, in life and to be rightious its not having it all but having enough to live with, if portion of those regions are in suppport of somalilad let them join to force them because i can say the same thing to the issue of Buhoodle. Sool western which borders somaliland is in Somaliland control and you know that Saang is mixed bag, but my main point which no one refutes is that puntland does not control FULL control of both these regions thats all i am saying people.

A very goo read, something most SOL members should read.

Garaad Caanood, unfair opinion lol when did opinions become right or wrong or unfair or fair lol.

My boy Garaad Caanood, i am just stating the facts on the ground on the control of SOL AND Sang thats all. And if i had it my way eastern Sool if the people want to join Somalia, i would let Eastern Sang leave if they want to leave, Cayn is different matter in that its in another region and picking and choosing on area already in established region would be wrong So over all i have no issue with your views Caanood, i just do not want from your side to say without these regions we cant leave, is that agreeable to you my brother. Taako losing your cool with me, makes you look foolish who cares how i choose to spell those regions old boy. lol looking on the old somali map of somalia that region you claim to be part of Puntland never existed legeally even in the former governments time, so brother dont claim small areas of other peoples region, cause the fact that people of those area are from you know who clan does not make them Puntland automatically ok.

I agree with you Burcaawi

you must be joking right my brother did you not just state that "Puntland controls the majority of SOOL, SANAG & CAYN which are part and parcel of Puntland State" or am i crazy lool, anyway we be going circle with this back and forth lets just say a respectfully disagree with you old boy.

General dont take to much stock on what Riyaale does he simply did it to counter react what the TFG president said, plus he knew if he did not do something like protest the oppostion party would rost him alive lol. Recognization is something somaliland can get only if there is respectable party on the other side, and with the support of the world community who will sooner or later deal with the somaliland issue, until then somalilanders will live there peaceful life back home.

Claims are claims i can say the samething but we will be going around in circle, as i stated before and i state again The full control of both those regions are not in puntland control thats a fact like it or not, and cayn is created region which again opens up a can of warms about what is border what is line, does one cross it due to ethnic reason or through legal reasons thats the questions my friends.

Relax raadamir insulting people will get you know were. The people did it in the heat of the moment thats all, you have love for that flag and i respect that but please reframe from insulting people and assumeing they are nothing more but uneducated lots burning things.

again taako you never answered my question, lol you can have thousands of regions if you like but that wont change the fact on the ground people for the people in somaliland and for those four strong regions i pointed to. I would like to also point another double standard that you just did by saying saxxil is made out of another region, i could say the same thing about buhoodle being recently made up (lol) but regress the issue here again is that Sol and Sang is not in control of Puntland.

Taako, as i stated before Somaliland is not scared of the TFG, the reason why you did not see somalilanders on the streets was the fact that the threat of ICU was not so big, yes you did have some people who agreed with their point like my brother Red Sea, but they would never come to somaliland gun blasting that was all hype. Sool maal i have much respect for you even though on certain things we not share eye to eye on thins we bouth share the wish for somali people to live in peace, much respect my brother.

The burning of the flag was done out of emotion but i as somalilander think it was not good taste to burn what others see value in. For somalis from the north east, south this flag is part of who they are and we should respect that. I doubt many of my somaliland brother and sisters would like if they burned our flag.

Dont spin the story bro, i love how know people link ethiopian troops as part of somalia, what a shame its like some people want Somalia to be part of Ethiopia

Taako, i just love your hidden attacks on as you put it the suprise suprise people who live there" we both no want you are refering to here. Getting back to your points, you still failed to prove Puntland controls all of SOL and Sang, (lol). I love how you wish washed the issue i put of the double standard of the Buhoodle issue, i just love your comment of "Buhoodle is in Togdheer or if it was in Bari Makes no difference. It is continous land sxb" So in your reality continous land would mean what please clear it for me cause somaliland can make the same claim with certian regions of Sang and Sol. Your last claim that somaliland controls only Waqooyi is funny you and i and most people in somaliland politics knows somaliland controls Awdal, Saaxil, Togdheer, Waqooyi, Sanaag majority of it, and Western Sol. If my math is right thats 4 strong regions under somaliland control while two are disputed with sol being half controled and sang with large areas under somaliland control, this my friend weakness your claim of only Waqooyi as the only area under somaliland control.

Brother Taako the point of the protest was not because the people of somaliland are not confident in their ability to survive, but was old boy a clear message to TFG president that his claim of control of somaliland is false, and that people in that region are not in support of his claims on their rights as citizens of Somaliland.

This will be very intersting the key is to see the situation in Somalia by early to mid Febuaury if no troops come to somalia the situation may not like it was before ICU control of somalia.

Taanko you love to talk about how somaliland is claiming other regions land but yet if i am not correct is not Buhoodle a area within togdheer, i strong region with vast population in support of Somaliland mmmm i sense a double standard here, to your other the majority of people in Sool is spilt between the puntland via somaliland issue, everyone in somali polticis no this. Eastern sol is more towards puntland while western sol is more towards somaliland thats a political reality on the ground. so to answer the pervious question if puntland controls full control of Sol and Sang the answer is still No.

To answer your question the answer is no!

to your question presidentofsomalia the answer is no.

to your question presidentofsomalia the answer is no.

"A Nazi state, clan state, a tribe that wants to secede, no such thing as somaliand" With comments like this no wonder somalilanders want to leave you guies. Cries like this of hatered towards this people, is sick comments like this only shows them and i your true views of them. If you dont respect them i think it be good for both somalia to let them be. I see the issue of greater somalia as like cancer, yes its noble idea but its not going to happen not in our life time, and like cancer it grows in your body it becomes part of your body so the question is do you let it grow unitl it kills you or do you remove it out of your body. Thats what i see in the case of somalia and somaliland to different organs in the same body that are not working together but are harming the whole body as whole. Let somaliland be let Somalia be and grow in infurstruter, education, politics and democracy, and the same in Somaliland. I in the future when the trust and messperpation on both sides die down when there is new generation grown you say to themselves lets try again, i will have no issue with that, but at the current state and stage in both nation forcing one to be one because of race or language instead giving the individual people their rights to issue the horn of africa will be in the current limbo state.

There is a saying "the truth always shines" take that to heart Duke, and for you Allamagan you may thank Riyaale entertaining and i myself see him as entertaining but so far the state of Somaliland is stable, no crime or looting in the nation so he is not doing to bad old boy and the comment that made me laugh out loud was your view of TFG standing fimrly on its feet, was it not awhile ago that it was with no feet but thanks in part to Ethiopia and the U.S. its on its feet loool. Somaliland with no outside help is on its feet by the support of its people i can not say that for the TFG, you may not expect that but its a reality on the ground back home lol.
