Who is Samakaab? Never heard of

[quote="XidigtaJSL"]Somaliland is a reality, the sooner you come to accept it the better off we will all be. My Reer Xamar friend from college went last year to his native Xamar and din't like it there and then he went to visit Hargeisa and he had a ball, he still talks about it, he likes Hargeisa better than Xamar, before he left he assumed Reer Waqooyi peeps were a bunch of crazy people who curse Ilaahay all day he actually found them to be pleasant people to be around, now he wants me to take him with me this summer [/quote]

I'm sure he had a blast, But how in the world can you compare Xamar with Xargeysa, It's like comparing badiyo with Iingrika, This is how I see Somaliland, It does exist only the eyes of Somalia. But yet to reach that height for the rest of the world to see it. Hopefully soon it will get recognition and get the attention it's been thirsting for inshallaha.

When did an ciise from djoubti become pro SLAND?

Ever since I was related to them, I'm no Pro SLand, I hardly know anything about them, except the fact that I have several cousins who are isaaqs.

Don't you think it is time Jabootaawiis of Somaliland origins took more ineterest in the case-for-Somaliland? many there are of Somaliland origins, most of the country's big businessmen are Isaaq like Xuseen Dheere and many more, the political elite has many Isaaq and Samaroons like the foreign minister, even the closest advisors of Cumar Gelle are Isaaqmen, then why is it that Djabouti is so hostile to it's natural neighbor considering the long history between the Ciise and the Isaaq, I asked alot of my Djabouti friend, they too can not explain this bad policy of Somaliweyn and they blame it on Cumar Gelle

djibouti does not want competition. them cowards know they can not compete with somaliland. djibouti port can not compete with berbera port so they are afriad.

He is not a real person. He is one of the characters from which the author writes our history as a narrative style. Samakaab is a London-educated Somali who pays a long visit to his father and nuclear family right after he graduates. Learned, he manifests Western-style thinking and inflated view of himself as a fully educated person, but he is unaware his father is an educated as him even though he still maintains a large family in the occupied territories (Ogaden).

Samakab then catches Bus from Hargeisa to the hinterland. Before crossing the so called border of Ethiopia and Somalia, the driver, (In Somalia, conventionally, most drivers are enthusiastic and social, for they stimulate the passengers by narrating to them stories in order to pass them the long and arduous journey complicated by the rough roads of Somalia) pre-informs of the danger and insecurity in Ogaden. Coincidently, they were attacked , so Samakab gets wounded there. (This is where the author creates conflict and complications of the story) Therefore, Samakab will settle to stay with his family in the hinterland until he recuperates. There, he meets his father and start the dialogue of their knowledge of our history. Samakab being a naive of Somalia history and carrying the arrogance of the Western man will be thought a lesson, even lectures relating to British History and Europe in General.


It is a long volume book.

They aren't Pro-Somaliland. They view it as an economic rival if their dream becomes reality. The tiny Djibouti with no Airlines and Factories is mainly dependent on its port for its source of income and the strategic Red sea it borders. America's Base in Djibouti, built for war on terrorism, has also helped its economy grow a little bit.

But they are still refugees like us in overseas
