Reer Puntland kids come in.

You guys tried to follow us but in a very reer baadiye way. That's why the old man said judge an intelligent man not by what he does but what he doesn't do. We pioneered the private group things in the current Somalinet but we only have one mod, Sadeboi and he neither deletes or adds/bans anyone without a group vote. Neither is his name colored. I wake up this morning and read you have followed our footsteps (as has become the norm in Somalinet lately) and resurrected Puntland private group. However all of you have been made a moderator and your names are black causing a ruckus in Generals (I have just read 5 complaint topics) which is reasonable since the number of deep blacks was hurting my eyes as well while I surfed. If you want to follow us, follow our example to the T or cease emulating us please.

nobody followed marehan.

if that was even remotely true, galkacyo would have a sacad mayor, and qardho would be a warzone.

Our parents had twenty years of governance. We on Somalinet are the surprise of the forum because of our parent's experiences. That's what I mean. As for the current state of Marehan in Somalia, you know that doesn't represent the clan but the clan is going back in head on since leaving the country. Go to Gedo Section Paidmonk, we await your commentary there since the International Marehan Meeting is in the final stages of preparations. Nairobi Airport is swamped with the number of Marehan arrivals from Europe and North America.

But seriously though the reer baadiye way you guys went about the private association is an insult even to yourselves.

20 years of governance by a single man whose revolution was aided by every Somali clan.

However, you had about 10 years of solid, unhampered governance in Gedo and Cabudwaq and a solid 5 year period of calm in Kismayo. What came out of that?

I'll reserve my judgment until AFTER the big Marehan revival meeting you speak of. Marehan get 4 more years to lift themselves, but as usual, Kismayo will be the only focus.
