Editorial: Why Somaliland Times Spreads Lies and Hatred

 

Posted to the Web Jan 21, 17:16

 

The Somaliland Times editorial (Why is Puntland collapsing? ) has not only missed many points but it missed the chance the celebrate the visit of Somali president Riyale’s visit to the US Statement Department. Why Somaliland Times has chosen to send a couple of ill-timed curses to Puntland is understandable: they have realised the futility of promoting clan fiefdom as a bastion of secession.

 

It is not secret that secessionists lose sleep over Mogadishu ’s positive developments. To believe that destruction of Mogadishu is the ticket to recognition is an unimaginable desire despite our compatriots’ crocodile tears.

 

Riyale is intelligent enough to know that fickle and politically unconscious people who chase the secession dream can be sent to bed with some comforting news that he and his aides doctored before leaving for the United States .

 

Having learned about this stratagem, Somaliland Times, a paper that is unprofessionally critical of Riyale ( remember the lies Somaliland Times spread about the first lady!) , started a new policy of wishing Puntland to become a less prosperous, and less secure place. Puntlandpost wishes our brothers and sisters in Hargeisa a prosperous year, and we whish Somaliland Times to acquire the guts to throw meanness to the wind.

Why post a racist article that blames all Puntlands for the ills of Somalia. This shows how clanist are they, that is the advocates of dimembering Somalia.

wishing ??? ,,,, the writer should write the solutions posted before he jumps in and say such thing.

Aren.t you all wishing the collapse of Puntland? Be brave and admit it.

[Jacaylbaro]

have u ever see me saying that ??

 

 

No one is wishing a chaos in our neighboring country, Somalia. It has enough problems in the South sxb and no one want that to happen in Nugaal, Mudug and Bari regions.

[Yaabka-Yaabkiis]

Cuz they are moving to mugdisho-isn't Bosaaso and Hargeyso laba gobol?

[Peace Action]

So what is the point in posting such rubbish article? As long as you have this views you will not get far.

[Jacaylbaro]

The articles gives advices and warns against a possible insecurity in case the collapse comes .....

Technically Southern Somalia was no longer a colony since 1950 when it became a UN trusteeship at that date. Secondly there is a reason why Northern Somalia received it's independence in 1960.

 

(A) It was agreed upon by the UN council in 1950 that Southern Somalia would move out of the trusteeship in 1960.

 

(B) SYL lobbyists(who btw were lobbying for a Greater Somalia which had British parlementarian support untill the US put down it's weight and backed Haile Sellasie) were calling for the independence of all Somali territories in the 50s

 

These two situations convinced the British government to synchronize the date of it's protectorate's independence with that of the Trusteeship. If these two factors weren't in play Northern Somalia would have seen a similar independence date as a country like Kenya(1963)

 

The fact that there's only a 5 days space between the two dates is more credit to the beforementioned A&B factors(deliberate synchronization). So it's unwise to use this miniscule time differences to support your argument for a seperate country since all original plans for Northern Somalia were either Greater Somalia or Union with Southern Somalia( think about; if as you say Somaliland was intended to be an independent country why did it so quikly agree upon Unity if this was not the reason allready for independence?).

 

Don't believe me here is some corroboration:

 

As there was no plans to grant early Independence to the territory, progress towards self government was slow untill the second half of the fifties. Around that time, however the pace was greatly accelerated chiefly to the growth of nationalist movement and the approaching date of independence in the Trustee ship -The Somali Republic: An Experiment in Legal Intergration pg 4

 

In February 1960 a Legislative council was elected by Universal adult male suffrage. On April 6 this council unaninamously passed a resolution stating its desires to recieve independence before 1 july, so that the country could be united with Somalia when it became independent -Encyclopedia Americana pg 251

 

Conclusion walaalyaal it was not as if Northern Somalia received it's independence and then said ohh let's join our brothers in the South no! this Union was a pre-requisite to receiving independence from Britain so there was no different view/mentality regarding the political landscape of Somalia it was Unity from the start and had the trusteeship ended in 1975 Northern Somalia wouldn't have received it's independence untill that date
