Conqueror Posted August 22, 2012 The ONLF supporters have dwindled in size. Many of them are supporting Kilinka Shanaad and carrying that Somaliland-flag with the Camel on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somalia Posted August 22, 2012 ONLF should go back to its old roots of WSLF to unite all the Somalis in the region if they want to have a say in the future of the region. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conqueror Posted August 22, 2012 ^ Maxamed Cumar Cismaan thinks otherwise. He believes that his clan is the majority, larger than all the rest of the Somalis combined therefore, to fight under WSLF is an insult to Ina Cumar Cismaan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
