Ahmed Abdi Godane's -- former Al-Shabab leader and terrorist -- death ushers in a fresh beginning for the shockingly devastated and traumatized nation of Somalia. Al-shabab leadership (what is left of) is discombobulated and on the run in Barawe, a coastal town in Somalia, their last meaningful stronghold. It is a matter of time before it also succumbs to the coalition forces.

Who are the losers?

Somaliland lost not only a tribal member, but lost an individual they could tacitly count on ensuring peace and stability never came to southern Somalia -- that card is no longer on the table. There were allegations -- though never refuted by Somaliland -- Dahabshil, Godane and Siilanyo worked for the destabilization of Mogadishu to enhance the hastily conceived separatist enclave of Somaliland's chances of independence. His killing deals a death blow to their aspiration, according to experts in the region.

What does Somalia look forward to in the next 10 years?

You can sum up in two words: immense potential. Focus will be in social and economic developments of all regions and rehabilitation and reeducation of Al-Shabab foot soldiers away from their rigid and misplaced ideology. Foreign direct investment by companies and countries in Somalia's natural and mineral resources and reintegration into the world's financial markets and governmental bodies.

Nonsense......Sure S/L benefits politically by instability in the south.....but the southern criminal/business syndicates benefit much more.

This. and we wonder why we are so useless.

People like to be push lies and say that Somaliland benefits from the suffering of Somalia . Stop spreading trashy stories.

The suffering and chaos in Somalia affects all Somalis in a negative way. It affects the whole world. That’s probably why the West and AMISON keep interfering.

If Somalia continues to suffer we are all losers.

If Somalia stabilizes it will be for the best inshallah

hopefully somaliland will crumble and die same way as godane

So the other commander in Al-Shabaab, Mukhtar Abu Zubayr, is also from Somaliland according to CNN. I wonder if he will take over as the new leader.

"Zubayr is 37, according to most accounts, and originally from Somaliland, now a vaguely autonomous part of northern Somalia."

His long dead but, regardless, this theory the thread starter is pushing is a figment of someones imagination and has zero facts.

Al-Shabab is a threat to Somaliland, no relationship exists between the two organisation and anyone who says otherwise is ulterior motives.

Honestly , It’s so hard to believe these stories. How can people be that brain dead that they would let someone from Somaliland waltz right in and continue the chaos in Somalia. That doesn’t even make any sense

Mukhtar Abu Zubayr and Godane is the same person. Besides this thread is trash. Nothing to discuss.

Godane was a international jihadist he never liked somaliland system, but we shared one thing in common, he was not not unionist . in few years time somaliland will have godane beach, godane plates, godane cups, godane wells. muj godane is no different from muj lixle.

Are you serious only in your mind is Somaliland disconnected from Somalia but since early 2006 a lot of Somalilanders mainly isaaq have come down to join the ICU and Alshabaab. Remember that these organizations are ideologically driven primarily and qabiil secondarily, hence their success. Besides the were other high ranking member isaaqs like ibraahim al afghaani but he got killed by godane

There will be five days of chewing in his memory.rufus jackson.
