If you as a Dhulbahante support my creation (Somaliland) then you are welcome, but expect to be treated like shit.

And dont expect us to help you when The So Solomadow Crew come to Buuhoodle to steal your land, camels and your 14th century water wells. We have sent them to perform a gig in Buuhodle. Make sure to suppor the cause

[Estarix]

Following the appointment of seven “Somaliland envoys” (all from the same clan as has recently become a pattern for Silanyo’s government), communities from Awdal must have by now learned their lessons through the hard way, unless they are living in a fantasy world. I bet they are. Those in Awdal who are still in doubt about the direction to which Ahmed Silanyo’s government is heading should take a pause for a moment and consider what the future holds for them. Like it or not, Somaliland is for one clan. Despite the entire furor surrounding the formation of the earlier government that was exclusively made up of one clan, the SNM men on the driving seat of this one-clan administration in Hargeisa are not in the mood of heeding to anybody’s advice or protestation. End of the story. Cidna loo joojin maayo.

The public fallout between the minister of interior, Mohamed Abdi Gabboose and Awdal elders earlier last month in Rays hotel, Borama, seems now a distant memory. The minister’s pledge that President Ahmed Silanyo will address the situation as “a matter of urgency” has turned out to be an empty gesture. Everything has been swept under the carpet. Perhaps in the eyes of Hargeisa administration there are more important and pressing issues that need to be attended in the eastern parts of “Somaliland”, Sool to be precise. Awdal is now treated by Hargeisa-based authorities as a colonial outpost. The very mention of a planned demonstration against the government in Awdal usually brings about a few “armored technicals” being sent out to Borama. This is going to become a norm in the future. If you cannot support your words with actions, nobody could give a toss about what you may or may not do. This is exactly the case in Awdal communities and their elders. General Xudhuun has gone despite Awdal elders and their constituents making furious statements one after another that nobody could take him away from Awdal. Empty talks, isn’t it?
Here is a short list of events that could have acted as warning signs for Awdal communities:

*
Four innocent Awdal civilians were slaughtered and their bodies mutilated on a public road between Gabiley and Dilla by the Gabiley supporters of the Kulmiye party, and to add insult to injury, their violent death was blamed on the former government by the man in charge of the current Somaliland administration. Despite this incident taking place at the heart of Somaliland and in the public domain, perpetrates of this heinous crime are believed to be under the protection of Kulmiye government according to my local sources.

*
Three ministers under Rayaale’s cabinet who are of the same clan as of Ahmed Silanyo have resigned right at the death and on the eve of the presidential election to join their kinship.

*
The newly-formed government of Ahmed Silanyo has produced a lopsided government, choosing the main cabinet posts (including Finance, Interior, Foreign ministries, etc.) from one clan, hence the entire decision making fell into the hands of a few inner circle ministers of the same clan. The rest are simply there to make the numbers, or police their community as our representatives in the Silanyo cabinet do in Awdal.

*
All senior civil servants were dismissed on presidential decree and replaced with members from the same clan under the guise of riding the government off corrupt officials from previous administration. This move hurt Awdal as they lost some key posts in the treasury and other important civil servant posts.

*
General Xudhuun, the bulwark of Awdal security and a long time civil servant as well as his second in command, were relieved from their posts with immediate effect following the ONLF fiasco, and replaced with Silanyo’s clansmen despite some Awdal communities taking to the streets in protest.

*
An army exclusively recruited from areas inhabited by the one-clan administration in Hargeisa, including a contingent of police force, was brought in and around Borama at the beginning of Silanyo’s reign to keep Awdal community under check. This is what prompted the former governor of Awdal to resign before his time.

*
Osman Jama aka Kalluun, one of the heavyweights of Somaliweyn politicians, was this month extended a hand of friendship and possibly the freedom of Hargeisa by none other than Silaanyo himself while Abdo Shoodhe, Sitiin Hussein (MPs from Sheikh Sharif government) were arrested in Borama and asked to leave the country or ask for pardon. Double standards, isn’t it? (Nin leh ayaa u doobiyey)

While communities from Sool and eastern Sanaag have grabbed their destiny with their own hands, the Awdalities have simply chosen to become second class citizens and settled in to play a second fiddle to the one clan administration in Hargeisa. This is an undisputed fact despite some Awdal so-called politicians (mercenaries I would say) claiming otherwise. In fact, they should take stock of the bravery shown by their fellow Awdalite, Faisal Omer Guleed, who rightly turned down an opportunity to become the junior minister of education in Mohamed Abdillahi Farmajo’s government in Mogadishu, or follow the courage demonstrated by the venerable Sheikh Abdillahi Sheikh Ali Jowhar who said no to Silanyo’s advances when he appointed for him to head the Sakaat-gathering agency. Faisal stated in his resignation speech that the post nominated for him is an insult to his clan, particularly when Prime Minister Farmajo’s ministers are nominated on the basis of the notorious four point five. Refer to PM Farmajo’s interview with the BBC on this issue.

Some would argue that Rayaale, the former president of Somaliland, who hails from Awdal, was in power for eight long years and as such Awdalities should not feel alienated. Well, that may be the case, but the distribution of power among Somaliland clans always remained the same even under him: one clan taking all the most important seats and leaving the leftovers and the insignificant posts for the rest was never the case. Rayaale was only presiding over what was pre-determined. Waa lagu awr-kacsanayey. Neither the previous administration led by Rayaale himself nor the current one Abdirahman Saylici who is second in command did anything meaningful for their own people. Waad baahan tahay looma bahalo cuno.

While the very few Awdal politicians who benefited from this Silanyo’s lopsided administration may be rejoicing, the fact remains that the majorities of Awdal community know for certainty that they had been short changed. Sool and Eastern Sanaag communities are not even in the equation; they have been left out before, or they opted out from the secessionist project in Somaliland.

For years Awdal community was following obediently or rather blindly (depending on one’s view) decisions made elsewhere which had little or no bearing on their day to day lives. Even our politicians could not foresee the demise of the last Somali government when everyone else could predict its imminent collapse with their minds fixated elsewhere. Everyone knows how Somaliland had come to being in early 1991. It was concocted in Burao and forced down the throats of communities whose acceptance or rejection of the secession would have made no difference at the time, as the venue of the meeting was deliberately chosen and gun totting SNM fighters were everywhere.

It is obvious now that the hidden agenda behind carving up “Somaliland” from the mother country by the SNM tribal militia who played a major role in bringing down the last Somali government alongside USC in the south was to create its fiefdom i.e. an administration run and owned by one clan. Why the guy from Sool, Awdal or eastern Sanaag should abide by the rules set out by the SNM militia. Who gave them the mandate to form an administration in the northern regions of Somalia without fully consulting the local communities in the former British Somaliland? If referendum is conducted today in non-Isaaq inhabited regions, I bet the outcome will be an absolute rejection to “Somaliland’ administration in Hargeisa. In an era where Somalia is further disintegrating into tribal regional administrations coupled with 19 years of one-clan administration in Hargeisa, Awdal politicians and elites could not yet make up their own minds where the interest of their people lies. I believe the time is ripe for Awdal community to determine their destiny instead of relying on others for everything. Will Awdal ever learn?

Concession accepted
I accept the fact that you (Garad13) have conceded defeat to a thirsty clan in need of water called Solomadow whom you regard as "dad is la yaqaan". Sxb yes I created Somaliland, there is no shyness in what I say because the truth stands clear from error. However in your foolish assumptions, you truly believe that you have a future in Somaliland which is baseless.

[Cumar-Labasuul]

Ruralman, aren't you from ethiopia?

Fact: Somaliland borders, those it controls 100%, are from loyacadde to ceerigaabo and down to caynabo

[Khalid Ali]

Wrong cumar laba suul Somaliland borders are from lawya cade ila yoocade but it controls from lawya cade all the way to Tukaraq
On sanaag the border is between lawyacade all the way to ceelayo but it controlls all the way to hadaaftimo.

Ruralman, aren't you from ethiopia?

that is better

[Cumar-Labasuul]

I said those it controls 100% sxb, how can it control all the way to hadaaftimo if they couldn't hold ballot boxes there. Runta hadaynu isku sheegno somaliland intu run ahaan ka xukumo waa ilaa ceerigaabo.
