Waa dad kuli riyo ku jiro and everything they speak of and praise is done so for the individuals own enjoyment in a coffee shop or the a hall they are shaking their ass in. It is pretty sad. X.playa, I must ask you thou, you glorify the actions of a the SNM militia in their battle against the Government of Somalia on the basis that they would like to control their own destiny and not be governed by Muqdisho. In the same context you approve of military tactics taken by a Government against a group of people who are saying to they want to control their own destiny and not be governed by Hargiesa. In a very realistic and intellectual manner, can you rationalize you contradicting views for me? I am not looking for an explanation on the creation of borders, the independence of British and Italian Somaliland, nor any Somali Geo-political explanation of the difference between SSC ambitions and that of SNM's. What I want to know, do you support the principles of fighting against a Government when you believe it does not have you interest at heart? Do you believe people have a right to decide what is best for them and govern their locality? How are the SNM and SSC ambitions different?
The Dhulbahnate are motivated by hate , simple as that, unless you know the history and the nature and narrative of the Dhulbahnate clan you won't understand their motive, it was never about nationalism from their part, remember 1998 as soon as the Majeerteen used the Harti/Daarood card the Dhulbahnate rejected somaliland on the base that they were Harti-Daarood, not because they were pro-somalia. Now when the Majeerteen used them and discarded them the Dhulbahnate again switched gear and now they are using the Somalia card and union card against somaliland. The only reason the Isaaq forgave the Dhulbahnate for their sins during the civil war was because of somaliland , now some years later the Dhulbahnate repayed us with the usual.
Unlike Khaalid Ali , Sahangalbeed and these romantics , iam more realistic the Isaaq majority will never ever renounce somaliland, and the Daarood in Somaliland will never ever be pro-somaliland , so the best option for Isaaq is just to drive them off before they get help from a strong somali state..
