The one-clan seccionist entity reminds me of the illegitimate state of Israel. Both preach democracy and freedom of speech but when someone opposes their illegitimate state and offer a more halal alternative approach they intimidate and incarcerate them. What a despicable entity indeed. This government should immediately be fought and dismantled as they are spreading kufr by championing the man-made political system known as democracy which is a farce in and of itself. The sick perpatrators of this act will be put to court in the on the Day of Judgement in front of the most just judge.

They are sick people who continue to persecute, maim and harm other Somalis simply because they don't want to join their former kaafir british, gaalo abolished border. Is bloodshed worth dying for for a demarcated line that was drawn by the very same people who wish to exploit you? It doesn't make sense? What is wrong with the one clan seccionist entity and when will they stop dividing the greater ummah!
