Ask yourselves why dont they run towards thier harti brothers??
Its becuase Puntland is in reality Majerteeniya, the Majerteen monopolize all power and try to monopolize all economic power as well, and they do not know how to share.
When somaliland administration was away, there was no development, the police and other civil servants did not get payed, there was no law and order and your ngo's could not function very well.
why are they pulled towards somaliland?
It is becuase the political culture of the Isaaq is very different to other clans,
We are anarchic by nature and we have always been against the concentration of power.
even the smallest isaaq sub clans believe they are equal to everyone else and infact behave that way even against another subclans that is 5 times their size.
In our history we have never allowed anyone to get away with siezing too much power.
The closest example of darood like behaviour among isaaq is probably xirsi amaan in the 1840-70's.
He was HY and came to dominate his own clan with a tight grip and then dominated berbera and the ports trade and dominated the HA, then he intituted taxation for the first time on the nomads and traders.
Then he expanded against the ogaden and captured much of the current territory, and even reached all the way to the shebelle for a brief time..
You would expect the isaaq to welcome this and hail him as a hero, but no
his own clan brought him down and all of his acomplishments vanished..
No in Majerteeniya you have the oppposite, there is something like a master clan and client clan and this is somewhat accepted...
The dhulos do not want to be a client clan even under thier own harti brothers,
their best option would be to join thier anarchic nighbours the isaaq where there is equality and where equality is jelously gaurded.
There will never be a master isaaq clan, but always a noisy struggle of equal clans..\
In this enviroment the dhulos and the warsengelis can take advantage of the normal isaaq disunity,
make the right coalitions and then capture the biggest piece of the pie, politically and economically speaking...
Can you honestly say that they can do that in Majerteeniya AKA Puntland AKA Pirateland?
Well said
