What I mean by this is you have a generation of people, who actually believe that somaliland is an independant country and are even bemused by talks of whole somalia (even though this is the actual reality).
Really hit home when i went to Hargeisa recently.
I know what you mean, there's now a generation of adults from Somaliland (those born in '91 and after) who have never known what it meant to be "fully" from Somalia (whether they're pro or anti-secession, that entire concept only really surfaced after Somaliland declared independence in May '91 and that whole discussion wasn't being discussed before then). Then again, as they say "time heals all wounds"...I personally don't consider it realistic for Isaaqs to want to reunify with the same people who's fathers/uncles/cousins killed their fathers/uncles/cousins, and understandably so. Maybe after the folks who the Waqooyi military campaign had a direct impact on are no longer involved, the youth will decide otheriwse.
Murax, we won't secede unless we find mad oil
