You have indeed made a pertinent comment regarding who the populace of Somaliland is. Somaliland, unlike the rest of the Somali peninsula is based on self-interest and the joint development of its people, working together to achieve a violable and sustainable future.
It’s somewhat foolish to think in irredentist tendencies in these interest based political times we live in. If you’re talking about the Sool and Sanag, these regions are under the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somaliland. The people of Sool and Sanag have accepted the mandate of the Somaliland government, as affirmed in the 2001 Somaliland Constitutional Act. While some of the people of Sool and Sanag are of different clans to the bastion of Somaliland diverse population, it shows lacking of understanding on your part that Sool and Sanag should be annexed to Somalia on the grounds of their inhabitant’s common clan membership with other reer bari and konforians. I reiterate yet again that Somaliland is based on interest not irredentist clannish dogmas
The people of Sool and Sanag and Awdal and the so-ineptly named triangle of love by certain irredentist, all share land, marriage lineage, cultural heritage, tradition, common customs, history, similar dialects, folkloric dances, upbringing, educational system and a colonial system. With the people of reer bari and konforian they share a common clan lineage. It just so happens that these same people are have more in common with the people of Somaliland. For many people, clan is a not a defining feature of their identity. It’s a contributing factor.
Identity is constructed; it’s not biological so please spare the using historical irredentist overtones to justify these regions annexation from Somaliland.
God Bless
