^One can support either of those two organizations if one is sincere about supporting the struggle for freedom. There are no big differences between these two organizations, so it won't be difficult to unite once the country is free. Anybody that doesn't want to support the ONLF because of its "name" can/should support the UWSLF that is fighting in the region/

Mr. Paragon, sincere suggestion from sincere Somalis is not only accepted but actually very well needed walaal. The ONLF and the entire Western Somali community have very much respect for our brothers from the republic that are willing to give advice/help. Kuwa gumeysi u adeegga ama qabiileysataasha ah ee bulshadaas iyo dadaalkeeda dura umbaan meeshan kala hadleynee no body said we don't your suggestions. We apologize for any confusions. The "important mistake" Jafe is referring to is the name itself. In the 1977 war, Ethiopia was crying about Somalia attacking it and taking over some of its "territories". The name "Soomaali galbeed" was an example it was using to ask for world's help. We are trying to avoid the same thing. P.s. Some countries like Cuba were just supporting Ethiopia for other reasons but still the name "Western Somalia" had an impact.

Che, LOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Exactly! I mean someone from Djabouti or someone who supports Al-shabaab can question about qabiils but Somaliland? Oh PUHLEASE!

Originally posted by Qudhac: its nothing to do with wether i support them or not i simply ask for clafication does onlf represent all the somalis living in somali Galbeed or not its simple question to ask, Ok, simple answer: No, ONLF is fighting for the six zones that its clan resides.

Originally posted by Qudhac: somaliland has very very long memory those that harm our people we usually catch up with them, ask the mr samater he never thought he would be fighting for survival when he was commiting those attrocities. Someone asked the former NSS head of the Somali Republic, Riyale Kaahin, that same question and can you guess what his answer was? His answer was I rule the place B*****! Go figure...

Miskiin, LOOOL General Duke looks smart and all that when he is criticizing somali politicians aka warlords but the minute someone brings up his ***** of that lost-in-yemen-yey the dude starts looking like *******. Some people should just be banned from commenting on the Somali politics

Wow Allamagan, I am impressed!

AT&T, Last time I talked to that infamous DhulQarneyn from California he was going to go to ONLF cab drivers and was going to tell them the cantarabaqash he posts here in person. I guess that changed him I am glad he is finally on board.

^ Qudhac, Jawaabta lagaa siiyo su'aashaas miyey kugu xidhan tahay taageeradaada? Haddii laguugu jawaabo ONLF waxey xoreneysaa qabiil soomaliyeed ma taagerisid miyaa? Oo adigu ma qabiillo gooni ah baa taageertaa? Well then again SNM was fighting for ALL somalis in the Northwest including SOOL and Sanaag ehehe and that is why Mr. Qudhac loves it. Adeer qabiil iyo qabiil la'aan-ba ONLF is a Somali organization fighting against a xabashi regime, you shouldn't be asking those kind of questions unless you just love to play the clan card.

Dhubad LOL nice song there, thanks for sharing. Indeed, PIS will pay the price for their mistakes.

Buuxo, the big point that most people keep missing is that ONLF is an organization that is fighting to liberate the region, it is not a government. If one is not satisfied with the way that organization is trying to liberate the region one can setup another organization and start fighting for the same region. Or one can be part of the ONLF and then bring that point up and work on changing the darn name. What is not ACCEPTABLE is try to condemn the ONLF without offering an alternative.

^Very well said. Magacey Kaga dhigtay maryooleyda.The entire region is under occupation why don't these people start fighting the xabishis in other parts of the region instead of fucusing on ONLF's shortcomings? I hear the statement "other clans live in the region, too..." so what? the other clans should dislike the opression more than they dislike the name. They can even join the ONLF and suggest the name changed. What is unacceptable is crying about the name while u r quite about the opression.

Hunguri waa jabhad e halla daayo.

^Answer the above question before you judge my knowledge of that desert adeer.

Miles Militis, Who elects the parliament? And when was the last time parliamentarian election has been held?

Duke, are u trying to defend Puntland's actions of handing over those five youngsters to Xabashis?

^Speaking of talking tough, why don't you talk tough to those guys in person instead of whining about them on the net?

Puntland doesn't have parliament, it has Issimo. They are never s/elected. The represent clans.

Jafe, thanks for sharing this! Very good piece.

Lool@comparing godane's affarey to Sayd's gabayo.

Ask Cowke, he will probably claim his uncle kicked every one's rear end.

GDUke, it is none of your freaking business if ONLF is a failure or not. Focus on your own desert and get your own sh*$ together.
