It's funny how we're just stuck with that tuna name even though only a few people actually fish
Quick question: which ppl ayaad isku dabeecd tihiin. In terms of dhqan iyo culture? Idoor or mj?
For me beelaha darood dagaa Puntland we are only isku issir lkn they much like the south in terms of personality iyo dhqan.
I'm not saying its good or bad .
Lkn idoorka asxaab badan ba ku leeyahay caadiba isku fahana xaga ids dheex galka bulsho
Siyaasd waaxa ku nacay kala gooa somali. Long term I don't want to be a minority anywhere.
Personally, I have friends from both tribes (my best friend is MJ), but I have actual family who are Isaaq and my family has married into them.
Warsangeli back home are doing fine in both PL and SL so clearly we get along fine with all of them.
Now, politically speaking I am also sceptical about SL since we will become a minority, whereas now at least we can form a daarood block in somalia and in PL the MJ are our relatives. The only problem is that if we look on our own self-interest, we can quickly see that we've been getting screwed by MJ for the past decades. I mean, they've used Hartinimo to further their own interests while our degaans have been neglected. They have also blocked NGO's from entering our regions. The sad truth is that Hartinimo has become useless.
It's a tough question, but the sentiment that I'm getting from people who have traveled back home in recent years is that people are becoming more and more frustrated with PL.
There's also the fact that PL is part of Somalia which raises the question of whether or not we can trust the government in Mogadishu to safeguard our interests in the long run. We all saw what they did to the dhulos, so frankly it's clear that they don't give a damn about us northerners. Fact is, we can both go to hargeysa today, but neither of us can set foot in our own so called "caasimad" without risking our lives. Meanwhile Ugandans are living the good life in "Xamar cadde". The way things are going, I have zero confidence in Xamar politicians sxb.. Zero. They have turned Somalia into a circus. It's a wonder that PL hasn't declared independence yet, although I do suspect that the MJ are benefiting from the instability down south.
I'm personally beginning to lean more and more towards SL these days. Even though cuqdad filled Isaaqs are some of the most obnoxious people to be around. But back home they tend to be way less qabiilists and more down to earth.
I agree with everything you said there specifically mj.
Puntland is out of question for me.
Also xamar waxba no maa yaal but I can't trust idoor and I don't to be minority in my own land.
Il just wait out until idoor excepts the concept of North south sharing. Federalism is destroying this country.
