ACLED, International Crisis Group and Sahan Research are all biased in favor of Somaliland

[Thegoodshepherd]

ACLED, International Crisis Group and Sahan Research are all biased in favor of Somaliland.
These three organizations, whom many westerners rely on to provide impartial information regarding Somalia, are firmly in the pro Somaliland camp.

• ACLED has been ignoring the conflict in Sool over the past 12 months. The last report they had done regarding Somalia was in April 2021. They began to ramp up their production of reports regarding Somalia in March 2023, at the height of the Sool conflict. This makes me think that ACLED is heavily influenced by FCDO, a primary donor to ACLED, in their coverage of the SSC-Somaliland conflict. They were probably told to spam Somalia coverage to make it seem as if what was taking place in northern Somalia was just a run of the mill conflict. Of the 11 reports they have published since March 2023, not one has addressed the SSC-Somaliland conflict in which there were 5,000 casualties and more than 200,000 IDPs.
• International Crisis Group's coverage is clearly pro Somaliland, but their reporting of the facts on the ground is quite good. They consider SSC part of Somaliland and call them secessionists in their monthly "conflict tracker". They basically report as if Somaliland is a country and SSC is a rebel group. They also downplay the fact that the federal government has recognized SSC as an administration.
• Sahan Research, Matt Bryden's outfit, is out and out pro Somaliland secession, anti SSC (going as far as calling them terrorists), and pro Ethiopian MOU. Their stance is clear and their bias is not concealed. Luckily Sahan Research is known to be somewhat biased in favor of Somaliland, but the degree of bias may surprise many.

Three organizations that many westerners with power over matters relating to Somalia rely on for information are strongly biased in favor of Somaliland.
None of them discuss the scale of human rights violations committed by Somaliland in the 8 months from Dec 2022 to Aug 2023.
They all downplay how consequential this conflict is for the politics of Somalia going forward.
Somaliland benefits from this bias as it continues to look viable as a state project although it has no control of more than 40% of its claimed territory.

[Mayor]

Matthew Bryden from Sahan Research is married to an Isaaq woman named Ubax who is rumored to be connected to the SL government

The guy is biased and has been known to do very shady things throughout the Hoa region, but what can you expect from a man who calls himself dibjir?

Edit: Also that Rashid Abdi guy was allegedly working for Matt Bryden

They are very biased. Shame on them.

They want Isaaq cause of the name loyalty to Is HAQ meaning is toosiya ama XAQA Alla ha tusiye those cretins who want way more then their fair share in Somalia. We bah dubays tell em anagu diidnay is xaaqi which is xaaqi oo la haramayay as they add a xaaaq to it and xaaq tuuf is what Adam did when he was about to swallow the apple breaking god law and hence Adam apple was left as a sign that death for all happens at the Adam apple as ppl last breath is heard and it's not in the gut lol it's quick breath from the Adam apple and above throat line which the Ruux escape to Akhiro and possibly gets recycled into another body as it surely not yowmul qiyaama cause only U die personally as the world still exist, true yowmul qiyaama the whole world will freeze and die in one hit lol.

I hope Isxaaq inay iska tuufan xaaqi ay ku Darren is haq and just accept what is your xaq as Haram won't get U anywhere. If they don't accept that let them join gaalo who think they will benefit from them on Somali tongue lol but he went to west in Bristol as seamen and u see how useless their diaspora are and how gaalo really treat them once they take them out of Somali yet they still love gaalo let them be U won't encounter any real threat bro.

Habashi are the worse to new alliances who don't even bury their own Amhara Muslim allied peasants in war which U can verify from the habash wars on Italy as their nijaas to them and they sure as hell won't treat Isaaq well as they know once a traitor is treated as traitor in any group they join so they will create names and markers for them like we did so the future studies it, so they will just suffer another 700 years of dulmi in another group. Plus Oromo just use and spit out ppl so they can do more dire daba expansion and apply that to Hargeisa and Berbera which is now is on the table for them now their inside SL. Finally Isaaq won't have land and no more politics, hana dhaafeen we ss MJ's shud welcome their ethio agreement and be xasids.

U ain't fooling me a son of bah dubays, Osman Mahmoud.

I don’t like how some Somalis refer Rashid “nin British ah” as “Rendille”. I would be offended if I was Rendille. He should be arrested and thrown out next time he visits Muqdisho.

Isaaq are honest with their shit. We didn't get much from xamar when we joined we got some positions but expected more coming in. You guys said your a region in somalia and we accepted it. Fast forward 30 years. Isaaq aren't happy with the government so we decide to rebel. War breaks out and we see a chance to get back what we lost so we do. I bet you guys would do the same if you were in our position.

Majerteniya and Hobyo treaty was sacked by force by Italy in 1930 which all Somalis know and they created the SYL and dhulbahante died for it, U snm cretin talking about petty ceremonial flag on the pole shit, U didn't contribute jack shit to Somalia except khat and Dirac and songs u drugged out f*ck and U won't get shit for no real legacy.

U want rights yet U want no burden and responsibility, f*ck U nigga U joined willingly U have no leg to stand on at least with majerteniya and hobyo kingdom they can say it wasn't a legal merge with Somalia but a violent and forced merge thru the acts of violence. Darods are the best and every 100 years a messiah arises like sayidka, syl architect yasin Ali Sharmarke, siyad barre, and finally Abdullahi Yusuf who created the SFG.

Ur clan don't pull any weight son and yap all day in khat sessions about darod masters and want hands out and U won't get it as long as one real blooded majerten is alive. So piss off to Ethiopia as your the next dire Dawa in the making not me son, committing suicide isn't a threat to us we see as an act of fallen clan.
