Wadani Posted February 7, 2012 I would like to dedicate my first post on this forum to the people of Khaatumo State and offer an apology on behalf of all like minded Somalilanders who fail to see the political rationale and underlying moral justification behind attacking the towns of fellow Somalis who refuse to be a part of the Somaliland administration. If the people of SSC do not wish to come under the Somaliland umbrella and instead opt for autonomy and a regional administration that falls under the fledgling TFG, this is their God given right and any attempts at subjugating the inhabitants of the said regions through brute force will only backfire against Somaliland, as it already has. The Siilaanyo administration should have taken a lesson from the the intractable war America is engaged in currently in Afghanistan....the lesson being, u cannot win a war without winning the hearts and minds of the locals. Guns and bombs do not endear populations to the ideologies and goals of those perceived as invaders. This is a basic social phenomena, yet governments fail to acknowledge it and always suffer the inevitable consequences. Also, i would wish that my SSC brothers and sisters not let clan sentiments drive their intentions in this whole debacle, because i believe unfortunately that there are many who wear the Honorable and all encompassing garb of Somaliwayn, but only for reasons of political expediency. To them, a united Somalia is a secondary or maybe even tertiary goal, while the dismantling and subsequent destruction of Somaliland (read SNM clan) is their primary ambition.

This is a basic social phenomena, yet governments fail to acknowledge it and always suffer the inevitable consequences. well put. Althou you dont need to apologise on anyone's behalf. Each on his own as they say.. Also, i would wish that my SSC brothers and sisters not let clan sentiments drive their intentions in this whole debacle, because i believe unfortunately that there are many who wear the Honorable and all encompassing garb of Somaliwayn, but only for reasons of political expediency. To them, a united Somalia is a secondary or maybe even tertiary goal, while the dismantling and subsequent destruction of Somaliland (read SNM clan) is their primary ambition. as for your second point, I think it is biased. At the end of the day SSC, Somaliland, and puntland are all clan-based states. So, I don't see the point you were trying to make. And, if somaliland will be dismantled by SSC making its own state then who cares, the world doesnt revolve around what Somaliland wants.Tan kale, Somaliland occupied laascaanod for the past four years and do you see any recognition coming their way. Lets be real here. With that been said, people of SSC spoke up and they dont care if somaliland thinks they will lose their imaginary recognition as a result. We have our rights..and our cities are ours, to do as we please. Simple as that!!! salaam p.s welcome to the forum. and minankaaga means qurigaaga..minanka wa minankaaga hadii lugu dhoho wa gurigan wa gurigaaga..hope that helps.

Wadani Posted February 7, 2012 I know that they are all clan based, even though some more than others. Im not denying that. My point was, there are some pro khaatumites who could care less for somaliwayn and the well being of all Somalis, but are more focused on settling scores with their historic enemies, who they ironically have more in common with culutrally, and linguistically speaking than any other somalis, not to mention the long tradition of intermarriage between the two clans. But dont get me wrong, im not only accusing some khaatumites of this cancerous disease of qabyaalad, but my own clan (SNM clan) is equally guilty of producing their share of terminally ill clannists, and likewise with all other clans in Somalia. Unofrtunately this is a greater societal problem that we are suffering from, and i was only bringing it up so that we are aware that not all khaatumites are doing this only for the ever elusive dream of Somaliwayn, and there are other motivations at play for some. Hope ive clarified myself Aaliyah. Ive come accross a lot of your posts during my time as the resident lurker, and ur a smart and patriotic Somalia girl, mashaAllah. Keep it up.

Aaliyyah Posted February 7, 2012 yeah you have clarified your point. There are bad apples in every clan. There's no doubt about that. And, thank you for your compliment. Hope you enjoy your stay here. take care. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
