The thing is, Isaaq influence in Xamar is as hated as Majerteen/Darood influence in Xamar. Cabdirashid's scheme proved that when the Waqoyi representatives were specifically targeted, and funniest of all they stayed at a Majerteen-owned hotel of all the hotels in Xamar because you guys have less trust for Hawiye than we do and that's clear despite what's said on Somalinet. You need to understand that the people in Xamar don't want our brand of peace nor your brand of peace, they haven't paid taxes in 20 years and that's all they care about, not paying taxes and enjoying the loot, I say let them have their paradise.
Common!! what influence??
There is zero isaaq influence in the south, Godane does not count as he does not represent isaaq and the dir woqooyi prostitutes are just prostitutes..
Hawiye do not hate isaaq influence becuase there is nothing to hate, it does not exist.
They hate what exists and affects them on a daily bases, you scheming and interferance..
and about taxes? what taxes do you think we pay taxes in somaliland? do you pay taxes in puntland
I am anti taxation my self, and i like it that way.
By the way, Hawiye anarchy is not limited to HG - I thought it was, but its not. HG are quite statesman-like in comparison. Certainly, Mudulood are peaceful but they have no love for MJs. Xawaadle are on their own page. The little Hutus like Murusade and Duduble cause more trouble than HG. Either way, the anti-Majerteen thing is a pan-Hutu ideology, even the nice Mudulood believe in it, we just give them fancy Bari-Boowe talk to shut them up.
Ask any HG here, mudulood have a soft spot for majerteen, there is no such thing as pan hawiye ideology at all.
If there was even a little bit, there would be peace overnight.
And you should know the moment hawiye kiss and make up and there is peace, you guys are pushed down to a level 3 or 4 player in somali politics.
The difference between Abdullahi Yusuf's bodyguards and Al-Shabaab is their mission. As I said, ideas mean more than raw power - if Ethiopia, Puntland & Hutu warlords couldn't calm down a few sections of Xamar and Al-Shabaab did it in a few days it shows you that something other than raw power was used.
I am not advocating raw power to defeat alshabab, it wont.
They will simply withdraw and harrass like good guerillas.
You need a large millitary force to do boring things like occupy stragetic towns and regions so that you can provide an alternative to alshabab
and cut off recruitment and supplies.
Thats the stick, then you need suitcases full of dollars and allot of qaad and meetings with elders of all the clans in the area.
very few of the clans are ideologically committed to alshabaab, its just that alshabaab is the only game in town.
A heavy miilitary fist and bags of dollars, thats how the taliban took over most of afghanistan.
All their biggest rivals switched sides immedietly, after a karbaashing following by some sweet talking and cash.
BTW, this is entirely off-topic, you need to focus on getting Somaliland's independence. This is 1988 all over again and you are in diaspora, as you were in 1988, so find a formula for independence this time instead of wasting another 20 years sitting till you're sore.
We are independant and will continue to be independant.
this is not 1988, in 1988 we face the entire somalia, and a modern armed force.
There is no conceivable millitary threat from a somali faction today and there will not for decades to come.
I maybe in the diaspora but people are moving back permanently to somaliland.
We ahve a home to visit.
My dad was an expat in the UAE for 30 years, and is retiring at the end of the year to go to Hargiesa.
He has a choice of Australia or the UK and he has residence for both but he is going to somalia..
Most of his friends and colleauges who also worked for corporations in the Gulf are already living in Somalia.
They are either running thier own businesses or are in Government or Teaching at colleges.
Basically what i am saying is that recognition or not, we are happy and confident that we are moving back home..
