Somalia shedding crocodile tears for unity
Somalia Shedding Crocodile Tears For Unity
To weep crocodile tears is to pretend a sorrow that one does not in fact feel to create a hypocritical show of emotion. Crocodiles weep while luring or devouring their prey. Similar are Somalia`s voices advocating for the revival of the doomed union knowing that the destruction of the unity was unshared responsibility of Somalia.
For the last fifteen years, these voices have been obsessively resorting to a common misguided expression: “The unity is sacred†believing that rhetorical, misplaced speeches and writings could bring back the union that Somalia buried in a deep grave without mark. So far, the politicians, intellectuals, and writers of Somalia have failed to admit in their writings, interviews, conferences, and meetings that the relentless injustices and atrocities of the South (Somalia) against the North (Somaliland) during the thirty years of the doomed union (1960-1990) were the undeniable root causes of Somaliland`s withdrawal from the union to reclaim its independence after an almost decade-long devastating civil war between the two sides (1982-1990). Instead, they unwisely use Somaliland for scapegoat and blame it for the destruction of the unity. This dishonest approach of denial and cover up is completely irresponsible, hypocritical, and unintellectual for sidestepping the truth. Such attitude will only make any chances for future talks for mutual, bilateral relations between the two sisterly states even remote.
It is undeniable historical fact that Somaliland was the first of the five Somali- speaking territories to become independent on June 26, 1960 and, as well, the first pioneering founder of the Union to make the ‘Greater Somalia’ dream come true when it willingly initiated the unification with Somalia on July 1st 1960 creating the first Republic of Somalia. But, unfortunately, Somaliland became the first victim of that Union too after the South-led civilian and military governments turned the history of the Union into history of conspiracies, injustices, and atrocities plotted and committed against the North.

[quote="AbdiWahab252"]Quick question: How many qabiils support Somaliland ?[/quote]
Thats a irrelevant quistion you cant fool me
The reason why Somalia remains failed state for the last 15 years is because tribal and local allegiance are stronger in the hearts of many than allegiance to patriotism and nationalism. Such situation shows irreconcilable differences between the two and makes any unity between Somalia and Somaliland inconceivable and elusive. Then, the voices that failed to unite their people and their country to end the endless anarchy and violence, the voices that failed to admit the injustices and atrocities committed against Somaliland are simply misleading and deceptive. Somalia must help itself first. Destroying unity and then weeping for it is like shedding crocodile tears and that is what Somalia does for unity it never respected. Somaliland must reject Somalia crocodile tears luring Somaliland people into another disastrous union. Somaliland people can not change the past but can change the future.

Desire you are a irrelevant case just like ur Midgaan boyfriend Luggoyo
Abdi and Axlaan
Another point to make, speaking same language and sharing same religion and color are not the absolute factors to determine unity. The 18 Arab countries would be united today if language, religion, and color determine unity. Respect for justice and human rights are the determining pillars for the unity between two or more countries to sustain and that is what Somalia failed to understand in the thirty years of the union.
