Salax recoils to his little quarters , after his attempt to play big games fetches him nothing

What big games? The comedy that is Jubbaland with three man declaring themselves presidents of a

territory ,much of it occupied by Godane's boys?

So, the Freedom and Independence gained in June 26, 1960 from close to 100 years of British colonization of "Somaliland" is far LESS important than May 18, 1991, "the independence that was gained from Somalia, which only existed for 30 years at the time" ?

I understand this is the national "cleaning" day. Landers are finally catching up and the streets of Hargeisa should be really clean after this lol

26 june was important day , but 26 june Somalilanders didn't declare their country as a sovereign state, its not as significant as 18 may , on 18 may Somaliland restored its statehood as a sovereign state. Somaliland did not gain independence from Somalia , because it was never part of Somalia , it was part of the Somali republic and it was a member of the union of that republic. So 18 may is part of the new Somaliland republic and its very important.
