I post anything that is relative and decided to post this is as I regularly follow the channel and thought it was worth of discussion. You sound insecure with your post:mjlol:. I wouldn't say that these inaccuracies are small. We all know that the referendum that they mentioned did not...

TLDR is a popular news youtube channel and they made a video about Somaliland, discussing the state's past and future prospects. Thought the video was alright though I felt that they didn't give the whole picture by not mentioning the eastern region and Puntland. They also mentioned that there...

Do you have any sources for your claim?

What would be the consequence if ONLF wins the election? They promised before that they would seek a referendum for independence and Ethiopia would never allow that. This could be an attempt to buy some more time to ensure that they would be able to rig the election and sniff out any chance of...

Except that other countries only started recognizing South Sudan after Sudan did it itself, who was the first country to recognize the new state. Recognizong a new secessioned country without an agreement with its neighbors and former country can often be complex and problematic. And the...

I think that one of the reasons of why Somaliland is still not recognized is that there are no cut clear border between them and Somalia, which has changed numerous times over the years through conflicts. Somaliland still does not have all of their claimed territories under control and if they...

You have lost it. Now you are justifying the massacres and rapes on innocent people and you are trying make it sound like they deserve it. And we pretty much know now why they were preventing organizations from investigating what was happening. This sound ridiculous:mjlol::mjlol:

The local Emaratis make up less than 12%. No wonder why they don't give citizenships to foreign people . :mjlol: By the way, there are also some locals with South Asian background.

You shouldn't underestimate the impact of the south asians. I would say that they are the majority in in all classes, whether low or high income. But I do feel like Arabs including Somali are treated better because they speak Arabic. Nonetheless, Arabs are also sometimes mistreated in the gulf.

Some of them look down on foreigners, whether Arab or not, because I think that they feel like the country is for them only and that they can kick you out anytime. Emiratis are cool people from my experience but you don't want to mess up with them, which can result in deportation if you do so.

You can have great lifestyle if you are wealthy, otherwise it is shit.

You need to know Arabic in order to watch but basically he says that it got hard for his family to stay there in UAE after they grew up and there was no future, so decided to go to Europe for better future prospects. Most of his viewers are Arabs but I really feel sorry for the Somalis with...

You should watch it, it says at the end. Didn't feel like watching it at first but there are some fucked up stuff in that video.

@Abba Sadacha Do Oromos in the Amhara region face discrimination? Are Oromos able to run for offices in Amhara and vice versa in Oromia? How would you describe the relations between them and what does the future hold for both regions in your opinion? I know that Oromos are a big and diverse...

Despite the attempt of many Ethiopians nationalists to falsely deny the atrocities committed by the military, it just shows you that the objective of the Ethiopian and Eritrean forces is to have revenge on the Tigray people and possibly genocide rather than bring stability, supported by the many...

I meant to be ruled by foreign powers, not that it was completely lawless. Obviously we had xeer.

Somalis are pretty hard to be ruled over. We were nomads made of clans that always fought and competed for land. Prior to colonization, majority of us were never ruled by a foreign entity.

The government of Somalia and every other Somali state are fairly pro Ethiopia as you never hear them getting on their bad side. This probably due to Ethiopia having great influence in the government and having networks over the region ever since the civil war began. But the average Somali is...

I don't like to get involved in useless toxic qabilistic threads which are a waste of time . I stated my region to give you an indication of what my subclan is and where did I attack ONLF? I just think it would be wiser to change tactics to have a better chance of achieving our goals. I believe...

I agree that the people that switched sides were people that should have never been in ONLF in the first place, but they really need to sort out the leadership asap. By the way, I am Ogaden from qoraxay and I do care for my region. I am just trying to contribute to a discussion which is relevant...
