Dhaqaale Posted December 1, 2019 I was going through some old newspaper articles and found one were the *** SNM resistance movement in 1987 was about overthrowing a dictator but later in 1989 became about declaring independence from Somalia. The SNM claim that Barre bombed Hegesia, Berbera and Burco in 1988 for clan reasons. When in fact Barre said himself that the SNM were a terrorist organisation like the free Syrian army in Syria. So if Assad is bombing northern Syria (with the help of Russia) how can the *** claim Barre was bombing them for clan reasons? Why do you think if the *** were given government jobs and civil servant offices did they rebel in 1981? What made the *** want to separate from the rest of Somalia. This part of the Somali story is fuzzy to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted December 2, 2019 Because afweyn started KILLING. SOMALILAND GENERALS colonels just after 1977 war in border towns. He also didn't stop wslf killing against the nomads in Ethiopia. And he tried to strip somaliland bussines people from their live stock trade licenses.. All of those factors played a role in the formation of SNM to ovetrhow afweyne from power. It was a war against a people. People from somaliland were not safe in Mogadishu the jazeera massacre in 1989. Also you need to understand Somaliland joined the Somali Republic to create something great. But it turned out to be a night mare destruction of somaliland. The somaliland country was just reduced to a mere province of Somalia. When it was an equal part that of the 5 somali states. The koonfurians took capital all leadership positions. There isn't much of wanting to be part of a nation that doesn't want you. Somaliland re independence was the best choice for Somalilanders and the region.

But why doesn't the international community take that fact into account in recognising Somaliland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted December 2, 2019 That is a political question its because the west has interest in the Arab world. And the Arab world oppose Somaliland. In contrast to the Eritrea cause where the arab spear headed their cause because of their conflict with Ethiopia. Somaliland has a pretty good case for statehood and it will get there one way or the other. You can't stop the will of the people never. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I ask why is There is so much clan tension and racism in Somaliland? Shouldn't you people be setting up the country on the path economic prosperity like Kurdistan or Taiwan?

What you call the "will of the people" has nowadays turned into the will of only the accursed kleptocracy. Nowadays, there is absolutely nothing the average Somalilander gains from Somaliland's separation and this is not the fault of Farmaajo or any other Koonfurian. It is exclusively due to the failure of Somaliland's political elite. Just think about this: Somaliland has been independent of Mogadishu for almost thirty years now and still today our politicians are fighting over the composition of the electoral commission!!! They don't even pretend to be working for the interest of the people. Its all about them and their personal interests. In those thirty years nations including China and India have become superpowers and indeed in the nineteenth century it took about three decades for feudal Japan to develop into modern empire. So what future has this inept and out of touch kleptocracy got? On the contrary, I think life would be much better for the masses if a deal is reached with Mogadishu. After all, what is the purpose of breaking away if we have all the problems associated with koonfuria in Somaliland. Tribalism, daylight robbery of public resources by politicians, clan conflicts, religious extremism, etc. Actually, koonfuria is now more democratic and free than Somaliland. Remember our parliamentarians have now effectively turned what was supposed to be their five year term into a lifetime job. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted December 2, 2019 3 hours ago, Amigos said: Very weak logic. Puntland has a deal with Mogadishu, are they doing better than Somaliland? Sometimes I wonder, do Somalilanders with such weak disposition lack intellect, vision... or both? We in Somaliland have so much to work on, from corruptions to tribalism to management of resources... you name it. But a deal with Mogadishu will never be the answer. Have some self-respect, Somaliland is one of the five Somali regions, the first independent Somali state, you would not seek anything from Mogadishu more than you would Djibouti, Jigjiga or Garissa. You are on equal footing with the four other Somali regions, not a renegade part of one of them. For anyone delusional enough to imagine a deal with Mogadishu being the answer, I reiterate.. look at Puntland. You're almost as delusional looking towards Mogadishu for your solutions as Mogadishans are when they look towards AMISOM/UN/Ethiopia for their solutions. You are comparing apples to oranges. Puntland wants to redefine the relationship and no cut it off hence their push for the ill conceived federalism. More importantly, Puntland is party to Somalia's problems. It is not stand alone entity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is how the average Somali sees his relationship with their leadership. The relationship is one way. There is no incentive for Somali leaders to change their behavior because they have came to understand the Somali person will never demand any accountability. If anything the Somali person will literally die for the so called leader despite the leader's abuse behavior. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galbeedi Posted December 2, 2019 Dhaqaale, Why not enroll the university of our esteemed Proff. Xaaji Xanjuf and get some badly needed history lessons.

gooni Posted December 3, 2019 Sir xunjuf... you gave the man, very wrong information. Barre never killed anyone because his clans or genders, don't waste your time nonsense. Si fiican u warayso adeer mujaahid biixi markuu retire noqdo oo beenta kursiga lagu xajisto uu ka dego. Snm madax kuma yarayn iyo saraakiil ganacsato hal-abuur iyo xigmad intaba Dad koonfurtu necebtahay iyo siyaad barre waligood ma noqon Mushkiladoodu waxaa weeyaan aragtidayda in talada loo dhiibo mooyee ayagu waxba uma dhiibi karaan, waana midda keentay inay kaligood isla meeraystaan.
