Elections in March they said. Well it's nearing the end of March and we're no where near a proper election from occurring. The son of a bitch in charge is literally refusing to step down. He was already given an extension of a year last year since he refused to step down then and get elections under way and now he's pulling the same shit. This is on top of the fact that he is pretty much suspected of having stolen the election the last time around.
My mom's excuse of people nonchalant attitude of this travesty of justice is that everyone is tired of war and suffering and don't want to start yet another war. BULLSHIT. f-king pacifists.
I love peace as much as the next guy but not at the expense of justice. Apparently, few share my view. Peace at all costs may sound like a noble idea, but not when you accept tyranny in the name of peace.
They say that they'll give him an ultimatum and some other crap but I'm just not having any of that. Think I'll start my own little armed rebel group and go all FARC on everyone's asses.
At the very least, how about some protests. I sound like a total hypocrite sitting here and talking all this crap when I myself am not doing anything useful to better the situation but there's a couple of reasons for that:
A: My language deficiency really cripples my ability to win over people's hearts and get them to join my cause. Shit I even can't convince my own family that something has to be done. Sitting idly by and letting Mr.President continue pulling the crap he's pulling isn't going to lead Somaliland to someplace better.
Everyone here is scared that if another war starts, Somaliland's chances of gaining recognition will be long gone. Whenever I hear someone say anything about recognition, I tell them who gives a fuck about recognition.
Seriously, what so great about recognition (I ask them)? You'll still end up with a passport that won't get any visas.
Perhaps you think foreign investment will arrive and pull the nation out of poverty but what's the use of money coming into the country if the vast majority of it will be lining the pockets of politicians. Recognition should be a means to an end, not an end in itself. People want recognition so the country would improve but if Somaliland gained recognition today, the improvement would be minimal with the government we have right now. Shit, look at Zimbabwe, they're recognized and fly their flag at the U.N. but no one would be stupid enough to give up Somaliland's relative peace and lack of recognition for Zimbabwe's recognition but insane President (I know the situation in Zimbabwe is improving lately but let's assume Zimbabwe was as it was last year).
People want jobs, justice and security. If recognition doesn't bring that, then it's pointless. Unless the government changes (for the better) things will never get better.
I hate war, but it has it's uses. If evil is allowed to exist, it will spread. People here need to have values and stick to it. If this s.o.b. keeps is allowed to continue his reign like some monarch, it'll only embolden him to pull off bigger crimes.
It's not like the man is a dictator who has killed dissidents in the past. Then there would be a reason to stand idly by; you're worried about losing your life. The current prez hasn't shown any of those characteristics. Sure, he jailed a couple of people here and there, but that's like a slap on the wrists.
A common counter argument is,"But Haji, this is Africa. Don't be so naive to think that he wouldn't resort to pulling off shit like that and ordering the military to open fire on civilians."
My reply is twofold: 1. Army sided with the people in Madagascar just recently and guess which continent Madagascar is in? 2. Would you rather wait until he (Mr.Prez) grows a pair big enough to turn into a ruthless dictator?
His term is supposed to end early April. There's some talk by the main opposition party that if he ain't outta here by then they're gonna force him out. I doubt they're gonna go through with that. There is a hopeful sign though; Mr.Prez took the threat seriously enough to send his children out of the country.
Sadly, that can also be taken as a bad sign cause whenever an African leader runs off, he usually steals most of the nation's wealth along with him.

Nigger, I speak for the Isxaq-subclans that are Pro-Somaliwayne, like the UDUB representative that resides in America who favor the unity of Somalia, by simply acknowleding the fact that Riyaale iyo Shiek Shariff are having a secret meeting in forming a United Somalia.
