Many people are questioning why they issues a response to a BBC map but didn't comment on any of this:

Somalia lacks a competent or cooperative central authority for issuing passports or civil documents and it does not have appropriate screening and vetting measures.

Somalia stands apart from other countries in the degree to which its government lacks command and control of its territory, which greatly limits the effectiveness of its national capabilities in a variety of respects.

Are the HG still running BBC Somali Section and speaking with Abdiqasim Salat and Ikhwaan in Cairo about brewing another Maryalol vs HY as this is now prime opportunity as aideed did the same between egal n tuur, A recognized SL might facilitate a civil war like South Sudan saw and allow moryans begin rushing in for new land holdings. I'm not privy to their tactics but I can see the isku dir behind this advances certain moryan long term goal in hamar.

I know the Moryans in Hamar hate Isaaq about sensationalising Wanlawayn incident as all moryans in all clans started to see hawiye as an armed minority in a sea of UN armed majority back then. Alot of their animosity comes from that originating incident which has instigated new trends to develop from it and harming hawiyenimo glory.

Shit is always tense between Hawiye and Isaaq even in irirism needing Djibouti to mediate always to make sure it doesn't get out of hand or they both deflect to darod(a shared enemy) or some internal clan matters.

Hawiye did call them Qaldaan also because their fudeed(impulsive and speak to direct, to open minded, easy going, not the hos ka cun old urban values but with a nasty twist post 91 thug mentality moryanism) that emerged when I was there.

Travel Ban for 4 years isn't a long term solution, they need to fix work visa issue of skilled Labor taking American jobs till then, deflecting on irrelevant travel bans with a people who are outside the nation state model is irrelevant, they have different edge to the ordered world and ordered world shud deal with its sphere and disordered world shud deal with its own and have some intermediatry as our minds are conditioned vastly different and our meetings will not produce anything fruitful in their interest nor are ours.
