I think they're talking about a yet to verify dhulbahante /warsangeli consensus on this , but it kind of sounds better if they say Somaliland , potentially encompasses an even greater number of people

Personally I support Barre Hiraale until further notice . Ideally I would like the whole thing to be "played" again and people who know how to run an administration supportive of the gov in Mog come to the fore .
