The Real Somali National Movement (SNM)

[FreshPrince]

I'm disgusted to see how the secessionists have been referred to as "SNM" (Somali National Movement) when they have no drop of Somali Nationalism in their blood. I think the REAL SNM are those who have never signed treaties with the Colonizers (British, Ethiopia, Italy, French). Those from SSC and AWDAL who are still holding on to the Somali Flag after 21 years of brutal civil war and loss of hope. Those who have sacrificed for the unity of SOMALIA and the Somali people.

 

Please show your gratitude to the REAL Somali National Movement AKA SSC/AWDAL !!!

No, I said "those that never signed treaties with the Colonizers", then my second sentence says, "SSC and Awdal who are still holding on to the flag of Somalia". Two different sentences.
