This practice is exenplary of our old wisdom and justice. It placed the family above everything, and the welfare of children and widows above individual choice.

It's a scam. Way for the NGO rapists to get paid six ways. The best thing they could do for Somalia would be withdraw recognition and support until a strong man rises who can command. Their interference is intentionally destroying the country, and with such sweet words. Bastards, I hope they...

Somaliland & Djibouti are the only Somali territories where the Somali governing class has a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. Daydreaming about natural resources is a waste of time. If a people cannot build their country without lottery wins, they don't deserve to survive. Inshallah...

We had these fights in the Eqal days. The state has monopoly on force. If something is found the SLNA will move in and it will be treated principally as a national asset. The locals will get the jobs and what not. Shareholders are a seperate thing, but what are share to a state which sets all...

Photoshopped, look at the hands you moron.

Musa knows what he is doing. Most strategically gifted Somali leader operating today.

A turning point I believe, compounded by Djibouti's strategic error. We landers now have to begin to reach out to our brothers in the east and south to press the recent successes forward inshallah.

The sad fact is that there is no real appetite for Somaliland to join Somalia as a proportional partner. If we sat at the table and asserted our full rights within a new con-federal consociational Somalia, we would dilute the power of all the existing players. What is wanted is for Somaliland to...

Why didn't Keating take this line when we smacked Puntland around?

We have no chance of being independent without either the consent of the SFG or a catastrophic error by them. No state will accept the principle of a state being broken up. We are also rare in the case of de facto states as we have no sponsor. What I mean is, we are self governing and known to...

We are considered a de facto state, without de jure legitimacy. It's not in the same category as an insurgency. If a war broke out it would be to our strategic benefit.

Farmaajo needs it to look relevant. Muse needs it to look open to negotiation. Both will meet, then go back to what they were doing before. The negotiation isn't a priority as, beyond coordination on some matters, their portfolios are entirely distinct.

He should not become a muslim because he is 'empty'. He should become a muslim because he believes in it. The emptiness is inside him, and he needs to deepen himself with works, and humble himself. Also, such volatile people are more likely to do extreme things.

Garaxajis have been President, they were the first. GX were also the power behind Riyaale and the end of the Egal administration. GX have power, but if our country is going to work it has to be bigger than one tribe.

I don't think this is his logic. His logic is to put the army at the border as he believes the 'disputed territory' damages his case. I don't think it does, as Somaliland is being refused recognition because of political, not legal issues.

In Hargeisa, the people are the police. Shenanigans get noticed. He is being fed some lies, you know this whole Jegaan thing is a myth. It happened once lol, and by force, Hersi et al didn't want to share. The next leader of Somaliland will be Dhulbahante, then they will realise they were stupid...

The business belongs to the government. They are government officials and serve as directors.

Funny thing is, a lot of people with interest in those regions have interest in Somaliland, and we welcome you all. Somehow people have forgotten that we were all on the same side and worked together.

The question I have is this, how can the FGS make sense of Federalism when only two states in that case demonstrate effective self-government? Do you think it would be possible for their to be a governmental structure where there are entities, like Bosnia, which is really two states and a third...

I see. So the Federal states do not have the same kind of ministerial structure as the FGS? How is the budget of the FGS allocated across the states for these kind of coordination tasks? Sorry for asking a million questions, I am just curious in order to know how functionally independent the non...
