Baby_GurL Posted April 22, 2003 Hey All My Nomad Peeps, I would like to know ur opinions on Qabils is it wrong to say dat I'm from SomaliLand not Somalia. I Just wanna know becuase many ppl tell me that we are all the same and I agree wid them but Since somaliland is a independant country and has there own flag is it wrong to stand up and say I'm a SomaliLander...People up on here and let me know wat u think about Somalia and SomaliLand independency. Holla At ur Gurl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy Posted April 23, 2003 Naaaah I think we shouldn't label each other Somali Lander or Somali cause at the end of the day in the eyes of other nations we all just malis And yeah PART of Somalia got there independence before the other part but that doesn't mean we not the same ppl . I mean for god’s sake do you know how many religions in India and they all live in harmony together beside now and then. But if you feel like qaldaan then call yourself Somali Lander same if you like Reer Xamar then label yourself Somali.. If it were up to me i would do anything for the BLUE AND WHITE STAR flag although I am northern from cirgaabo... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it were up to me i would do anything for the BLUE AND WHITE STAR flag although I am northern from cirgaabo... Sweetie, Northerners are not called qaldaans the correct term is reer waqooyi.. just telling ya cos it might get U into some trouble Baby gurl end of the day we are all somelis ethnicly. I am a Somalilander because I'm from taht region but I am also Somali. To non-Somalis I'm a Somali but to Somalis I prefer using the term Somalilander. And Somaliland and Somalia are not qabiils but nations. But Ethnicly they are both Somalis .. hence the name What ever your comfortable with babes.

Blessed Posted April 23, 2003 I really don't want to go there but I'll just calrify it for ya cos my wordings were a lil confusing. Somalia = a country in shatters but a country non-the-less. Somaliland = a country without recognition but considered a country by its inhabitants. a country = a nation and since Somaliland is an independent state or functions as one it is a nation in its won right making Somalia (proper) another nation. qabiil= tribe there is no tribe called Somaliland or Somalia ... na mean ? so you have two 'nations' : Somalia and Somaliland - sad truth being that niether of them really exist That is just My opinion, you don't have to agree.

Lefty Posted April 23, 2003 You can call yourself whatever you feel happy to be called whether it's Somali or Somalilander or even Puntlander. Personally, I don't see any different from any somali speaking in horn of Africa. Italian Somaliland, British Somaliland, French Somaliland, and others are all Somalis but only difference of Colonial names. Anyone can use one name such as Somali or the other names but it's still beside the point. ------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baby_GurL Posted April 23, 2003 Wad up Nomads, I'm still not going to change the way I feel about where I'm from...(SomaliLand) but with ur response i know now that everyone feels the same as me...Thanks 4 replying back with dissucsion and keep showin sum love.....

Kool_Kat Posted April 24, 2003 Aren't we all the same...We all have the same color skin, believe in the same religion, speake the same language (only diff accents), have the same culture...So what's this Somali and SomaliLand...I sure don't go around saying I am from Puntlander (if that's a word), just cuz I am or my Ancestors are from the east... I alwayz say I am Somali...And if need be, I add I am from the East part of Somalia...NOT PUNTLAND... I have alwayz been a Somali...And alwayz will be a Somali, till the day I die...So if you refer yourself as a Somali or a Somalilander, in my eyes and in the eyes of many ppl from many diff nations, you are a SOMALI... EAST, WEST, NORTH, OR SOUTH...Let's spread the love and stop the division...As they say "DEVIDED WE FALL"...And we have... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted April 24, 2003 Baby_Gurl, here is a good scenario. Let us use the senior nomads here as an example. I know both of them very well. Kool_Kat is from Somalia (She is Somalian ) Ameena is from Somaliland (She is Somalilander ) One is Ina Xaaji Maygaan Foodcadde and the other is the daughter of Ismaaciil Amakaag. The conclusion: They are both Somalis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
