There is no need to turn this issue into tribal wrestling ground. That plays into the favor of the secessionists. They love the idea of 'it's us vs them' when in reality it's not.
So never suggest this particular reer will go with it or won't go with it. They desperate for that and that gives them ammunition.
The northern Somalis know best how to dismantle the project. You have to follow their leadership.
The best way is the youth and providing solution and alternative to all the social ills that isolation project cannot solve as unrecognised entity.
Jobs, education, marriage and building that family is the forefront of issues and we have to target that.
These recruits will do the job from there.
Also isolating them further internationally and within the region are key. We do not blockade aid for northern Somali Republic instead we need northerners to register institutions and agencies in the capital and those should be the only ones that receive aid from international community.
Let me give you an example.
say SuldaanofSanaag opened Sanaag Advocacy an agency that supports social projects such as Sanaag farmers and pastoralist communities. We then give them a certificate of recognition as long as Suldaanka is inline with Somali Unity values and ideals.
Then we advise international community to direct their aid to agencies like such.
The rest we block them including the likes of
Somaliland Development Fund. The international donors must go through proper channels to respect the sovereignty of an independent nation undergoing political reforms and stabilisation efforts.
Also all Hawala funds must go through Somali embassies to ensure they are not ending up in the hands of terrorists that means all hawala must register with Somali Government and sign papers that entail the unity of Somali Republic and must display their recognition paper in their offices same way shops have "Halal" signage.
Any agency that doesn't comply we advise Western, Arab nations and allies they do business with them at their own risks. This can by done by first drafting compliance laws by hiring well established lawyers both from Somali background and Western especially experts on English law. Once that's drafted you have to join and submit your papers to various organisations and governments who will recognise your membership. Then globally recognised compliance letters can be issued by Somali Central Bank.
The goal should be to sanction the isolationist leaders and their lies but not to punish the people. They can still access their daily lives through well planned and maintained avenues.
Establishing a contact is key too and regular meetings. The Isolation project will arrest more and more youth until their prisons cannot take no more and the international community is fed up too. Whenever they build a new prison, unionists need to build one more school.
The key is within and in particular the youth----they want to go places and make something of themselves rather than guard and live by isolation doctrines that make no relevance to the reality. If they can work they would work on individuals like myself.
I am telling you we are just waiting for that moment. All northern regions are. This is the blueprint of dismantling the project.
