I didn't mean Isaaqs or even people who are pro-secession. When he said "hates with a passion" I automatically thought of the worst I've seen on this forum and not from any particular group. Things like jokes about rape and death, it was an assumption on my part but that's what I meant was a problem. People who think talking like that is okay I feel have deep issues regardless of political views.Actually @Shamis is right, it's not that serious. If it was, Isaaqs wouldn't intermarry with other clans. When Isaaqs speak badly of the south they're just virtue-signalling to other Isaaqs, as if to say 'oh, look at me, i' m a real die-hard Somalilander'. Yeah it's pretty pathetic, but it doesn't mean they actually hate the south and southern Somalis. It's just superficial slogans they mindlessly repeat in order to demonstrate loyalty and thus gain status within Somaliland circles.
If Isaaqs really hated Somalia and other Somalis they would no longer uphold Soomaalinimo. But in the diaspora if ur in need or in trouble an Isaaq is just as likely to help you in the name of Soomaalinimo as a person from any other clan.
And of course I know many Isaaqs irl and they are some of the best people. I didn't mean that at all.
