Tired;
Like I said before, I don't want to go into your bed time stories of Omar Mahamud killing Ali Mohamud and Isman Mohamud killing Hassan Mohamud, but I can tell you one thing the State of Puntiland has a lower crime rate than any other Somali region including Sakhraanland and about 90% of African countries, according to the UN mini-report about Somalia of this Feb.2001.
On top of that, I have been there, and had the privilege of traveling from Erigavo to Gakacyo, and all I sow was peace, love and respect, so I suggest you to go back on your notes and do little bit of research before you start spreading your nonsense on the net.
Also, it's rather silly for you to suggest that the president is behind every small local crime, whether it arises from land disputes, or simple robbery that is gone wrong. This is shows that your motive is quite different from what you would like us to believe, but I guess time will tell.
Anyway, I found very disturbing with your whole notion of class and classicism. No offence intended, but it reminds me of a girl I used to date who had the habit of blaming on others' lack of class for her inability to hold onto perspective marriage partners.
Back to the issue at hand, class has no bearing on politics, specially Somali politics. Maybe this has something to do with your limited knowledge on the subject, but the job of every leader is to go after the interest of the people he represents only, even if that means sleeping on a dead dog's wet and rotten skin. Ever heard of "Dantaada Harag ey na waa loogu seexdaa".?
Furthermore, it's ridiculous for someone like you to tell the people of Puntiland what their president is good at. They have already chosen him to be their leader and not their foreign minster, and I think you should respect the will of the majority of the people.
I'm sure terms such as democracy, will of the people, mandate and law and orders don't mean anything for people like yourselves, and it's why I believe that we Somalis will never be able to solve our differences in a peaceful manner.
In addition, I'm not denying that we're having difficulties economically due to the Arab ban of our life stock from their markets, which by the way we share with the rest of Somalis wherever they're and for that matter many other African countries;however, I have no doubt that we will survive through this just the way we have survived through in 1990ths and the hey days of Arta group in 2000. Remember what doesn't kill us makes us united and stronger than ever.
So, will the folks like you please, stop winning, and accept the facts that there are no miracle performers whether it's Mr. Yosuf or someone in the future when it comes to our very complicated Somali politics. Bite the pullet, and ask what you can do for your country like Mr. Kennedy said rather than breaking my heart with your boyish/girlish noise.
Puntilander forever |
