We Are Somalilanders

How wonderful! You're celebrating the colonial borders created by the British Empire and you're "proud" that your Somaliland heritage makes you somehow different than the rest of Somalis.

 

Makes real logical sense to me

And you don't see me glorifying those borders either. To me, the NFD and Eastern-Ethiopia as well as Djibouti are just as Somali as Somaliland and southern Somalia

[thefuturenow]

This is getting ridiculous. MODs can we please get a sticky that says 'Somaliland is real' so that these folks may get the attention they think they deserve.

[Jacaylbaro]

The borders are colonial made only when it is Somaliland .... Funny

Jac,

 

You are still part and parcel of the corruption that plagues All Somalis. All Somali govs are crooks.

[Jacaylbaro]

same as the all Arab governments ?? ,,, haa dee waa caadi

Why not speak the the truth and say we're IsaacNewtonLanders, cuz everybody else are hostages. You talk about how you freed from the clutches of a dictatorship, but now when its your turn, your doing the same thing. Anyways the average man isn't to blame, it'll always be the leadership, but people have got to make good choices. So insha'allah they make good choices.

Sometimes I wonder how any "Somalilander" can consciously accept secession from the rest of Somalia.

 

We Muslims should be uniting under one leadership, under one State. But since that's not the case--at least nowadays--then how is it acceptable that Somalis from the Northwestern region want to secede from the rest of Somalia?

 

Nationalism is a very ugly thing. And to be nationalistic over some colonial borders is even more ridiculous. Jacaylbaro needs to let it go

Xaaji I'm against the existence of Djibouti as well. But since Djibouti actually has international recognition and is recognized as it's own country, then there's nothing we can do about it---for now.

 

Whereas "Somaliland" is still recognized as part of Somalia. It's still part of the country. So why should we change that?

 

What are the petty differences that we have that we can't resolve as adults?
