Only a nobody would care if another nobody waves the flag. typical behaviour of someone with a very short ancestral lineage(laangaab) and a very low self esteem. Pray that soon another uncle of yours turned warlord turns up in the political center of Somalia. Or face to be ignored by us all.

Dont they look the same? they fight for same cause, they look the same, they have almost similar names O***** and Oromo, many speak eachoters language, they intermarry, they both like to dance for freedom, they do have a lot of hair, they both dont like Zenawi and Xabashi's, they both live in jigjiga nowadays and Diredawa, personal hygiene's is not their strongest point. I think these two peoples and thet liberation movements should merge to one, to be called Ogaromo and they could form one country with eachother to be called Ogaromia, with capital being Dire Dawa. They could form such a strong brand together, the O- people and the O-nation.

Something Silaanyo will do better if Farah Mo'allin's inside assurances are to be taken as something real. At least Farah would have achieved something if he got that deal, as he claims off the record. What deal do they have? not to hand over Somali's to Ethiopia?

Everything else is not important, as long as they belief in Somalinimo and wave with the blue flag.

Originally posted by Abtigiis & Tusbax: For now, this thread is about changing what I see as a dangerous trend among ONLF-ites. It is a call for change of direction. Abti, I Support this call for change of direction. I have some suggestion: 1. Changing the name of ONLF and also the name which we want to call the region. Abti, if example my city is Harta Sheeck and the region is called Hawd. Why would I fight to call my region ******ia? 2. Start dialogue with community leaders in the region. And try to convinve that you have the tribal issue's between the tribes and the overall political destiny of the region. Otherwise people keep associating every action by an ****** person with that of the ONLF. 3. Unity within the tribe. Abti, as long as my brother is in Jigjiga and is undermining all my efforts nothing will work. So start to create unity in the family.

Abti, You mad a very good analysis. If the Liberation Front cant rebrand itself as an inclusive 'all' Somali liberation front , then it is doomed to fail. If it's stays true to its political goal, liberation for all Somali people under Ethiopian occupation and changing its name from O to S, then I will fight tomorrow those Xabashi's with my Somali brother. I belief the same goes for Somaliland and Puntland. Irrelevant of their political agenda(liberation(ONLF), federation(Puntland) or Indepedence(Somaliland)), it can only be achieved by being inclusive and gaining broad support from all citizen in their territory. Otherwise their political agenda is doomed to fail. Because when the poupulation is not convinced it's easy for outsiders to divide and rule. Many on SOL fail to understand that polarizing with your political objective wont help you achieving your political goal. -Somaliland's goal for indepedance started out in 1991 with broad political support(all clan leaders) but it failed to materialize and gain this support under a broad sextion of society and the support crumbled to mainly the western part of Somaliland. Hence no recongnition. Instead of travelling to western countries and asking them for recongnition. Somaliland people should go and start a dialogue and negotiotating with people in Badhan, Dhahar, Las Anod, etc. And first get recongnition for its political goal by a broad section of society. And convince the somali people how Indepedance might serve ALL people and will bring unity closer. -Puntland's goal to be one of the main building blocks of a Federal Somalia started out with big support of the political and tradional leaders in 1998. And they failed to gain the support under a broad section of society. proof: SSC, Maakhir, Atom, etc. Puntland leader should not run to Moqadishu to claim chairs because they represent Puntland, they should first get real support of the people they are pretenting to represent. And define who those people are. Does everyone have a say in Puntland or only the trinity sub-clan. -The same goes for liberation of Western-Somali which once had big support under the whole population in that region. But as it has become a one clan endevour, the support fails to materialize under the whole population and then the political goal becomes much more difficult to reach. ONLF could start with changing it's name to gain broader support and to proof that its objective is bigger then that of one clan.
