Jacaylbaro Posted February 3, 2011 The de-facto state of Somaliland appears to be an inspiration for the peoples of Egypt in their attempt to forge a new democratic path. It is ironic that a nation, yet to receive de-jure international recognition, can inspire the peoples of nations such as Egypt and Tunisia to seek a democratic path, and the people of Southern Sudan to vote for a new nation. Somaliland has been described as "Africa´s best kept secret". A democratic, progressive and moderate Muslim nation in the Horn of Africa. The kind of partner the international community badly needs in these turbulent times. It is a tribute to Somaliland´s success that the people of Egypt, Tunisia and Sudan Southern wish to follow a similar path. It is ironic that one of Africa most populous and dynamic nation, and certainly the Arab League most powerful and influential nation, Egypt, is now embarking on a new chapter in its history, a transition to a democratic state. Somaliland would certainly be a model to follow. The people of Somaliland have been through struggles that their brothers and sisters in Egypt, Tunisia and Southern Sudan currently face. There is a long road ahead with many perils, as well as, many moments of hope and joy. The key ingredient is a formula based on dialogue, discussion and consensus. Only the citizens of these nations, Egypt, Tunisia and Southern Sudan can determine their own future. Somaliland presents a new paradigm in statehood for the region. A democratic, inclusive, and tolerant Muslim nation in a strategic part of the world. The people of Somaliland support their brothers and sisters in Egypt, Tunisia, and Southern Sudan in their efforts to democratize their land, and rid themselves of corruption and dictatorship.

Che -Guevara Posted February 3, 2011 So high unemployment, lack of vibrant political space, nepotism, corruption, and puppet dictators has nothing to do this uprising. And I guess self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi was not impetus for Tunisian uprising-what an !diot. LooooooooooL@progressive Muslim...I laugh when I see these words together.Talk appeasing Uncle Sam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankful Posted February 3, 2011 Sometimes I feel like I should give the secessionists a break it trying to bring them down to reality. But then JB comes and posts the most absolutely hilarious thread we've seen and its impossible not to laugh. JB you need to realize that what you posts indicates that you actually believe it is news worthy enough and should spread. Is this actually a story you feel has any substance? Just think logically; soon after Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in Tunisia, the regime there started to crumble and when it did, it immediately spread to Egypt and other places. If NW Somalia's so-called "democracy" inspired Egypt than please tell me why all this didn't happen back in June when you had your (s)election??? Like someone said, just because you see a title you like, doesnt mean you have to post it loool. I'd be lying if I said I wanted you to stop these ridiculous posts to honest, because it's a good source of comic relief that can cheer those of us subjected to the cold winter days though!

I have been watching all the news outlets and everyone is saying that Egypt became inspired by Tunisia's successful ouster of a iron fisted dictator...I have yet to see any one to credit JB's enclave yet!
