If some one believes somaliland gets aid somaliland just since 2011 recieved some semi bilataral aid from denmark and the uk, and thats minimum, the rest of the so called aid is Ngo junk which doesnt leave the offices of nairobi. Somaliland is build on the strength of its own poeple , it doesnt need billions of dollars in aid it doesnt need african union troops to guard its poeple and government and it surely does not need turks to feed their childeren and woman.

Burahadheer when the USC militia were closing into Mogadishu Barre called his trusted families and said where are the Generals the one i send to Siberia where are the Soviet trained Generals and Colonels , where are the baddest boys of my Tribe . And he was informed that they were evacuating the woman and the children from Mogadishu and that he is alone in villa Somalia with a small unit of red berets.

^^ Not as how it was back in the days when warlords were importing arms with the help of Foreign Mercenary groups and illegal arms dealers. Today there are no open militia warlord units. There is Alshabaab a tight islamist entity and than there is the UN backed Somali government under African union supervision. The Arms the USC SNF SPM factions had in the early 90s if they kept it they could easily rule the country.

I am not talking about their fighting ability or their warfare skills, but i am talking about arms possession, they are unarmed outgunned today this is not the 90s they wasted all the heavy artillery and all their ammunition and weaponry superiority, because of infighting. All the heavy weaponry today is under Amisom (African union troops), unless you are counting on alshabaab. In the 90s they had so many weaponry this is all gone.

The difference between the North and the South is one is dominated by one disparate group who are united in their fear of the "other", whilst the other is so big no one group can dominate. So although they have more men and arms, their weakness is their division. As for the other, they lack numbers and weapons but their unity in vision is their strength. Don't misconstrue things for what they're not. In other words, bootada inaga qallee. They dont have more guns they have wasted their resources in the past 22 years both the bulk of the former SNA in both the south and in Somaliland fell in the hands of the rebel factions. But if you count the Ugandan and burundian mercenaries than maybe u have a point

Khat addicted nomads with weapons with a bizarre police uniform and no formal understanding of policiary work. PS: Xaaj according to international standards those who you want equip with aircrafts while lacking simple police radios are by legal definition "clan militia" and not policeman. Actually SL police forces are very capable in conducting their works well trained for the past 22 years and counting, the Somaliland government has invested in them for quiet some time now. Who keeps SL streets secure do you think? Policiary work is well understood in Somaliland, hence why Somaliland is a success.

And later maybe in a year or 2 SL can get the eurocopter ec-135 they cost around 4 million it depends also on what type.

Xaaji, I didn't know that it was this easy to make you beat your chest like the guys in the forum that shall not be named. Its not just Somaliland or Somalia or any other country, or entity in Africa its how the world works the more arms a country has the more powerful they are on the world stage. What makes the United states the most powerful nation on the planet not their democratic values freedom, Its their arm industry which gives them allot of influence in the world economically and politically.

SNM legacy can never be dragged into the mud they came in and became victorious they laid the foundation of the new Somaliland republic, the SNM Fighters were the protectors of the Somaliland nation and the state they will never harm a Somalilander and it was never part of the SNM manifesto to hurt a single Somalilander. The SNM elites were highly democratic 4 different chairmans in a period of 10 years , and when they captured the entire Somaliland they said to the people we will do what ever the people want their names will be enshrined for centuries to come in Somaliland.

Khatumo is no issue or no obsticle to somaliland they can here and there throw a party but they are harmless since khatumo came somaliland government expanded into xudun and fiqifuliye leaving one last district for khatumo which is taleex soon they will be fully part of somaliland. Khatumo is actually good for somaliland. Khatumo are peaceful folks they are mostly busy with conferences, ssc was more on the battlefield in 2011 but ssc fully joined somaliland government. The future looks bright henry na wa mahadsanyahay

Henry is a good kid

Abdirahmaan Sayid Muhammad , the son of the Mullah who was the Interior minister in the government of Haile sallasie when the Pan Somalism delegation arrived, led by Egal and Ina Qeybe in addis ababa to hold a conference with the Emperor on the issues regarding the Somali region, and Hawd and reserve area and the O'gaden region. The Emperor brought to the table a tricky question where he asked The Son of the Mullah whether his father was a Somali hero or an Ethiopian hero his son responded and he said the following that his Father was an Ethiopian hero, of Somali origin who fought to liberate the Eastern Ethiopian regions from the colonial bondage insinuating Somaliland and Somalia. The Ethiopians nationalists always wanted to make ina abdulla hassan an Ethiopian figure for 2 particular reasons one to give the Somalis under their domain a hero they can identify with. And the second one is that he fought against the colonialists telling themselves that the Somali region was not under colonization but that the Europeans were the colonizers,and that the O'gadeni people were free people never colonized by Europeans but that they produced the likes of ina abdulla hassan who wanted to liberate the Eastern Ethiopian regions, in their silly minds.

i hope it becomes reality if the Kulmiye government pulls it off and builds this road than they will easily win Majority in parliament in 2015 and the People of Somaliland will vote for them once again.

There is no threat coming from somalia any time soon, somalia has no defense apparatus, its under African union supervision, but its in the interest of sl to be ready if there is a threat lets say in a decade or two.
