Mark my words , if the Southerners are granted secession , it will create the precedent we have been waiting for all along . Our destiny is tied up with the Dinkas , Nuer and other southern sudanese

no its isnt..

The southern sudanese had to force the government of sudan to agree toa referendrum.
This has been done before, countries have split before, Senegal and Gambia, czechoslovakia into chezk and slovak.
Egypt and Syria dring the United Arab republic..


The difference here is that Somalia does not exist in reality only on paper and somaliland exists in reality but does not in paper.
We have no one to negotiate with or force to agree to recognition.

Gurey,

There are basically two options for the North:

Dealing with Alshabab = no more "somaliland", they will unite the country by force like they did in 10 out of the 18 provinces in Somalia.

Dealing with a nationalist movemen if Alshabab's movement fails: country will be united and a referendum will be held in every province .

No there are several options, and now that we have a "Government" for the first time since 2002 we will be activley exploring these options.
We are no longer a ship astray with no rudder.

You are an intelligent person, does clannism or nationalism cloud your judgment?
You should view politics coldly without emotions and deal with facts.

Tell me how on earth can slahabab present a threat in any form to Somaliland?



If there is a referendrum it will be held within the borders of Somaliland and only somaliland.

No one is in any position to dictate terms to us, especially a "nationalist" future government..

Indeed if a referendum will be held in Somaliland it will be held with in the borders of Somaliland

Alshabaab is never and was never a threat to Somaliland

I agree with you shabaab and Somaliland are the same.
