i thought your excuse/reason was due to siyad barre's regime?
many regions in somalia was never developed since 1960. you can't honestly think you can use that as an excuse, do you?
It's not even about the developments because thats just one of the many factors that lead to dissatisfaction and a sense of betrayal. Somaliland and Somalia united in the 60's as two equal countries. They idea was to split everything between Somaliland and Somalia for instance, the parliament, President & PM position etc. However that didn't happen because Somaliland become a province of Somalia. Thats why there a was an attempted coup in 1961. When Siyaad Barre took over people felt that things would change and it did for a while but after the 77 war, the neoptism, the corruption and how he was targeting Isaaq businessmen specifically lead to frustration and dissatisfaction once again hence the establishment of SNM in 1981.
