I also love the peace, freedoms and relative tranquility we enjoy in Somaliland. Im a Somalilander myself, and

from the clan who first inhabited Hargaysa.

But we dont live in a vacuum and somaliland isn't an isloated island. Regardless of where u go, as a Somali u r preceded by the tarnished and utterly soiled image of our once great people. It hurts being seen as scum by the rest of the world when we are capable of so much. We are intelligent, entreprenuerial, creative, bold and daring. We have so many good and redeeming qualities, if not our ruined reputation on the world stage wouldn't bother me so much. Let's just hope we can rehabilitate the Somali name in the coming decades.

your response sent shivers down my spine as though the devil himself was addressing me. laakin UCID joins us together in holy communion.

 

i take it you're familiar with the famous adage from habar habar wars of 94' - where are the sand-digging aardvarks? ask cigal and the monkeys! perhaps your cousins stoic and archie can explain this to a wet-behind-the ears little sand-digger! LOL!

[Wadani]

You have no idea about the history of the former Somali Republic. It was not the rebel movements who destroyed the country, it was Siyaad Barre and his tyrannical regime. The rebels were just reacting to the oppression, corruption, nepotism, and the constant appropriation of the nation's meagre resources for personal use by the ruling elite. I don’t think Somaliland and Puntland are worst off now than when they were under the tyranny. But I do despair for the suffering of our brethren in the South, Kililka, and NFD.

[Wadani]

Tallaabo, ur right about siyaad barre's regime, but I still don't think the gains we made outwiegh the heavy losses.
