actually michael mariano wanted Somaliland to be under The UK for another 5 to 10 years so that they can learn the basics for Self governance like the koonfurians did from 1950 till 1960. Sir dauglas hall agreed with that but snl and xisbullah disagreed if we stayed For another 10 years under The British Empire who knows we would've never united with The Koonfurians But allah had other plans
