Che -Guevara Posted May 25, 2018 There's nothing naïve about what he said. He is right, this is not a war the regular people want. There's no political or military justification. Resources could be spent on victims of the cyclones. The war shows the lack of leadership exhibited by every Somali leader. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aroori Posted May 25, 2018 Finally a voice of reason. Ma waxa uu midkoodna garanwaayay intay Ramdan baxayso sug/dulqaado. Then again who am i kidding; someone who has no regard for human lives whatsoever, shouldn't be expected to respect the Holy Month. These are truly sad times, a new low for the demonym [Somali].

Suldaanka Posted May 25, 2018 The professor of Geography should know better. These regions cannot have the label "disputed territories" any longer. Somaliland has the capacity to enforce its authority. The benefits of a single authority is already can be seen in Laascaanood and other towns that are fully incorporated into Somaliland system. The small remaining few villages towards Garowe should enjoy the same benefits and cannot be allowed to remain a buffer zone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted May 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Suldaanka said: The small remaining few villages towards Garowe should enjoy the same benefits and cannot be allowed to remain a buffer zone. But why now and particularly why this year? Could the trigger for the timing january/february this year be something else other than the wish of Somalilanders to develop the area? Why now and why do it with force of arms? Why this was not done or could not be done in 1995, 2000, 2006, 2011..2020, 2024 etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted May 25, 2018 It has always been the same policy. But Somaliland gives special considerations for two key groups. The locals that inhabit the area and our friends in the international community. Somaliland spends lots of time and effort to win the locals, it is the hardest task. Which is way Somaliland has a lot o carrots and sticks. Kicking Puntland melitia out is the easier part. Dealing with the international community is another issue. But once Mogadishu or Garowe make a mistake, we take full advantage of the mistake. That including Mogadishu sending its Minister to Sanaag region. That sort of act will not go unanswered.

Suldaanka Posted May 25, 2018 The professor should have been brave and call a spade a spade. There is one side that on their backs and that side should just call it quits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
