I for one who has a first hand experience since I spoke recently with my Dad and some other members of my siblings who dwell in Las Anod. War appears to be highly likely and inevitable in the near future, in the case of waging war in Las Anod becomes necessity, so be it I believe it to the morrow. Let it be known WAR is a bad thing to experiment but in this case, War will work in the favor of the people of SSC at end..

Iska daa saaxiib, yarka xummadu way ka degi doontaaye

Good news I must say!

For this to go on is nothing short of stup!dity nimanyahow. That being one of the best options out there, politically speaking the means cost more on SSC than ends. That being said in terms of "STUP!D!TY" I guess your remarks have not been fair to people of SSC because STUP!D!TY is not a native of SSC regions alone rather it is a syndrome found in all Somali territories.

I guess they are open society who talk to whomever deems for discussion. In a nutshell talking does neither deny nor affirm the legality of your so-called Somaliland entity. Hope that we get this straight at least

Waxay ila tahay reer waqooyi waa is yaqaanaa, oo reer walibu meeshu dego SOL laguma go'aamiyo.

Thanks Mr.Sophist, I just received an email from my brother and he told me that LA is calm.

Originally posted by Caamir: This particular conflict rests theoritically on the security dillema in the region. "Somaliland" fears for its security or its assumption that they are the next target after Mogadisho's insurgency dampens, therefore, preemptive strikes ensures ultimate security guarantor. The other problem is that Hargeisa feels that Puntland forces are overstretched thus lacking countervailing balance to counter the Clan-based Somaliland forces. In many ways, this is a great miscalculation that would cause the local tribe of Puntland to feel acute existential threats from their neighbors. It is however very likely that this new conflict would challenge Adde's leadership to step up to the plate and manifest his military skills to secure resounding victories. Adde Muse has been engaged in activities of parochial interest that probably created an environment conducive to the fracture and division of the community. It is time that Muuse restores the sense of extended security assurances and mutual trust of the community Dear Caamir, You nailed that on the tail squarely, the inexorable demise of the SL influence in SSC area is a reality to be reckon with. Horaa soomaalidu u tidhi 'Rag walaal wuxuu ku dhaamo la waa", balse taasi dadka qaar baanay u cuntamin...taariikhda hadaynu tib u tibaaxno waxay ka marag kacaysaa in markan mar laga wada itaal daran yahay, nabada **** jiirkeed laga raadin doono. War hooy maa la kala joogo ileyn "inta nabadu joogtaa ninba labo nin le'eg yahay e" The security dillema is what it is all about, I am personally pro war as long as it is a just one, Mr. Caamir, if this isn't it, which one is it?, I question

Maan hadal in Garowe: Massaging the Mullah A. Duale Sii'arag October 01, 2007 “I merely represent a new, mature wave of the Islamic awakening that is taking place today from Algeria and Jordan to Khartoum and Kuala Lumpur. As first evidenced in the Iranian revolution, this awakening is comprehensive – it is not just about individual piety; it is not just intellectual and cultural, nor is it just political. It is all of these, a comprehensive reconstruction of society from top to bottom”. Hassan al-Turabi Read here

Tahliil, I also always advocated the implementation of SOL golden rules both equally and indiscriminately to all people and in all situations. On the other hand, SSC people have plenty on their plates, and they should put their home in order by any means necessary..

In this case, WAR is the ONLY way forward for this region, all other alternatives have been tried and exhausted for many times in the past... like it or not the inexorable moment has arrived ..

The way I see it, collectively our actions are calling for the reign and continuum of the curse of Allah in our land for sometime to come.

In my view, there is a parallelism between Iraq and Somali violence, of course Somalia being the smaller fish in this context, all I know is that this convenient marriage can’t be indefinite ..

Koore-Tuunshe, Don't underestimate the raising powers for the world today. For instance, China and India (Chindia), specially China...If things go the way they are, the world is shifting from Uni-polar system to Multi-polar system, good or bad needs further analysis. However, these changes are underway as we speak..therefore they can either be contained or slowed down but can't be stopped. I also agree with u that Russia is still too weak economically to withstand the hegemony of the US,... with that said, be mind it has both the natural and human resources. Apparently changes always take time but for sure something is cooking

Naxar Nugaaleed, I am on and seated firmly

Finding solution to this crisis rests on the shoulders on the locals. These people have to put their act together first and foremost and then deal with the adjacent administrations. It appears some of their leaders need to be eliminated in one way or another, this people are paying big price for their protracted passiveness, will they emancipate from the shackles of anarchy or dwell their lives as they've been doing for the last 16 years or so, remains to be seen.
