The Sage Posted June 4, 2012 ^^^ Still identifies Somaliland as a separate and distinct political entity from Somalia. Looking at maps from 5-10 years ago and looking at them today shows that the reality on the ground is beginning to be accepted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted June 5, 2012 Some other maps by foreigners also show Waqooyi Bari as 'distinct political entity.' So, what is your point? The imaginations of the writers of conservative magazine Economist nor any other paper will not change the unity of Soomaaliya iyo Soomaalis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If somehow their should be a growing awareness across the globe about Somaliland and its 20 plus years of indepedence, than it shall be blamed on the overactive 'imagination of some conservatives'. Let me tell you, when I see Somaliand haters today and by that I mean those ranging from self-described somali 'intellectuals' running around with PhDs from some back road University to the unsolicited comments from your avg coffee shop dwellers, I can't help but smile at them it is becoming comical. They have such myopic views in regards to Somaliland that I hope they continue to repeat the same old tired cliches. This simply means we will continue not to face any serious political threats from the outside, and in the forseable future, our limits will only be self-imposed.
