Is it Possible NOT to Equate Somaliland with Isaaq?

[2ndtoNone]

Can anybody please answer this question objectively.
I ask the question because there is not a day I hear anything about Somaliland without someone mentioning Isaaq or implying Isaaqnimo.

Is it Possible NOT to Equate Somaliland with Isaaq?

2nd, only a faqash would equate sland to a tribal state, the way their mind works is that since the SNM was made up entirely of isaaq, and the majority of the population is isaaq, that must mean its a isaaq country. but the truth is there for anyone who is not blind to see, when the sland flag is flying high in towns and cities that are not even inhabited by isaaq, simple.

it`s just like puntland markaad maqashid you think of MJ.
if you hear so called kilinka shanat or somali ethiopia first thing comes to most somali is agdeer, even here in somalinet.
if i think of konfur i think of hawiya.
though other people live there. it`s just how stereotype works.

No, when you think of Israel you think of Jews. When you think of the strongest super power you think of America. When you think of the greatest footballer you think of pele. Is it possible to seperate salt from sugar?

This may well be the kind of mentality that is holding back Somaliland.
