I agree with Ina Good, but I also think it was a wise decision on behalf of Djibouti's leaders.

Waa yaabe, Maxaa WIILKA SULDAANKA aqoonta leh, waxan ula dhacay?

We should not be propagating this kind of people nonsense, QOOTO QOOTO. 

 

Suldaanka, please read about- PROF. Maxamed Cabdi Gaandi who did the SOMALI tribes two Phds.

and Prof. Cabdalla C. Mansuur, both did scholarly work.

I don't believe the guy is sober. Our fragile union needs to be perfected, not destroyed. It is meaningless to listen to a dude suggesting Somalis would never be able to share government.

Maakhiri,

Horta Somalidu waa oral society. They pass down their history through poetry, plays and stories etc. 

What Ina Good is referring to in his assessment is the fact that pre-1976, the streets were full of songs and shows depicting the re-unification and expected independence of Djibouti. I am talking about the poets of the day and the famous 1970s Siinleey chain of poems was exactly between Djibouti poets  and Somaliland poets exchanging views and hopes of independence that could lead to the re-unification with the other 2 Somali States that united in 1960. 

For 3 decades from 1950s to 1970s, the main theme of Somali poetry was the idea of Somaliwayn.

That theme of Somaliwayn came to complete stop after Djibouti opted to stand alone.

Guys, Cabdi Good nin Sakhraasan ma ahan. Waa nin reer Burco ah hadalkana sarifa. 

If you look some of his videos that is exactly how he talks.

Let me try to explain some of his reasons.

The Djibouti issue was the most paramount issue in the Somali folklore, literature and poems. For most of you , history probably has started in 1991, and even for some it i started during Amisom and Mogadishu era. 

After the Arusha agreement in late sixties which has transferred NFD to Kenya , the Somali people and government had started a campaign to liberate Djibouti and join the union. I was a child , but when Djibouti was liberated we all thought that they would be joining the union. In nineteen sixties, Abdirasaq Haji Huseen had started a secret contact with Cali Caarif Burhan,  the premier of the French controlled  Djibouti. He promised him that if he joins the union, he will personally transfer the premiership of Somalia and the new union. A Yemani/Somali Businessman became the liaison contact with the two governments. 

In 1966, the Yemani Businessman was murdered in Djibouti while walking " Dalagdalgta plaza Rambo" . The only people who new these issue were , Calicaarif, A/risaaq , the businessman and Ahmed Yusuf Ducaale ( The brother of Boobe Yusuf ducaale)  the foreign minister of Somalia. There were reports about espionage and leaks given to the French and the Ethiopians by the foreign minister of Somalia. 

The issue was investigated and Mr. Ducaale was found guilty of espionage. A man who is in his seventies , who was clerk of the court at the time told me that the file was full of  nothing but pictures  of contacts between the minister and others. When the case was in the courts, C/risaaq was even told to delay the case and wait until the election for fear of losing the " Reer Woqoyi" votes. After the election of 1967, Ibrahim Egal became premier and kept the position of foreign minister to himself.

To make the story short Somalis of every walk of life fought , sang and hoped for their liberation of Djibouti  for the sake of future Somali territory. No one ever said Djibouti will be it's own country except Ethiopia and the French. 

Even Siyaad Bare himself took part of separation of Djibouti from Somalia after he made a secret deal with the French. Just before the independence the leading men of the " Jabhada Xoreynta Djibiuti were arrested in MOgadishu and were later released six months after independence including DR. Omar Osman Raabe. The rest of the  Leadership of the "Jabhada including it's leader Mohamed Janaale and Aden Rooble Cawaale were shot in Lawyacado before crossing to Djibouti days before independence. Janaale the leader died in Lowyacade, but Aden Rooble survived and later was sidelined and even arrested by the Ghelle family. Some of us had close family members who did sacrifice for the cause.

Unlike Africa were most of the independent movement took over the power after the departure of the colonials , in Djibouti, those serving the colonial powers like the Ghelle family became the leaders. Hasan Guuleed , who was the most pro French members of France deputies was designed to lead. Ten years before the independence the name French Somaliland was changed, the pro independence Somalis deported, the border in Lawyacao electrified and became the " Territory of Affar and Ciise"

The man running Djibouti today was a constable of the vice police to manage the meetings and health of the women selling their body to soldiers. You might not believe but there was even an office to check and monitor the health of those women and give them clean bill of health before the join the colonial soldiers. 

I don't have time to narrate the whole story but the usual "Somali Gaas Dhagoole"  knows  only what is happening among his tribe today.

So, before you call  this man names, at least consider and look back the history. Djibouti was the main parcel of the " Shanta Soomaaliyeed" and some of us did not forget that. He is wrong on advocating dismember, yet certainly he got a point about " Xeebta Djibouti ee Soomali laga Xaday".

He is from Burco and Reer Burco , unlike those from Galbeed and Hargeisa.,  are not hypocrites. They tell like it is--alawys.

Cabdi Good warkiisa ha la Dhuuxo.

Reer koonfurka Xaawo Taako naaska la tuujiyay uga sheeke, kaa ayay si fiican uda fahmayaane.

By the way, Mr. Good is not a scholar. He mostly analyses Somali songs and literature while combining some history.

Waa nin Suugaanta, sida heesaha iyo gabayada naqdiya.

 

People like Ghandi are  learned anthropologists.
