CHE Posted February 3, 2005 A mere campaign of hyper-nationalism, with no intention to diminish the importance of Waqooyi and its citizens. The bone of contention is that there are no visible cultural cleavages that would render Somaliland culturally distinct in contrast to the mainstream Somali culture. In terms of history,there are somewhat variations of history. But then so are other regions of the country diversified in terms of history., so much so that even regions of the self-proclaimed State are diverse. For instance awdal has long, outstanding historical variation from its neighbouring regions. And if we are to to merit secession on the basis of historical variations, then so be it! Now,the argument become slippery slope one, and begs the question why should WE not divide the country even more, beginning with Awdal declaring itself as State. Eventually WE 'll have as many States as the number of letters in the word Somalia(maybe more). Secondly, what’s now known as Somaliland came about after king Melelik of Abyssinia struck a deal with the English that resulted in the annexation of Harar and the creation the British Somaliland enclave. And if I were to recognize Somaliland, Shame on me! I would be honoring a cheap foreign deal that was not in the interest of Somalis to begin with. Furthermore, the fact that the same crooks that were integral part of the Siyad regime are running Somaliland today, fails me to comprehend the need for separate State for the people of Waqooyi.

Suldaanka Posted February 4, 2005 Che Afrika is by large the by-product of colonialism. And Somaliland is as much as any other african country a by product of that same era. Not hard to understand or does it? Somaliland is not against "Somaliweyn" or "unity" for that matter. "Somaliweyn" has never meant to be "Somaliland + Somalia", these are only but 2 of the 5 Somali regions. So, our position is this, " it is either 1 or 5 ". "1" being a single "Somaliweyn" which unites all Somali 5 regions and 5 meaning each region being on its own. That is the challenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
