What should Somalia do about the protests in Somaliland

[Som]

If Somalia had smart leaders our government would immediately condemn the violence in Somaliland and start talks with Cirro and Waraabe. Cirro has expressed willingness to talk with us about a peaceful separation or any other deal while Muuse Biixi is rabidly anti Somalia and doesn't want anything to do with us. Unrest in Somaliland is BAD business for all somalis, we shouldn't cheer about it. Somaliland is (or was) one of the few safe and peaceful areas of Somali inhabited territories. If PL was smart they would also try to intervene to secure their interests.

Do absolutely nothing. Even if you’re thinking about what’s best for Somalia’s sovereign control over SL rather than what’s best for the innocent people in SL caught up in any potential chaos. Never interrupt your ‘enemy’. Don’t give them anything to blame you for and unite over.

It’s similar to HSM’s strategy with PL right now. If HSM fights Deni, this would unite PL behind Deni but if he watches from afar and allows Deni to force his re-election in 2024 that would cause chaos and allow the FGS a much stronger hand in the aftermath.

 

[Dowlad]

I support Muuse Biixi and a strong and independent Somaliland. Somaliland breaking apart would be a horrible thing. A huge blow. I pray that God protects and keeps Somaliland united and strong. A strong independent Somaliland means a strong Somalia.

I don't support somaliland independence but I could never wish my fellow somalis any bad. Somaliland should remain peaceful.

I agree let us not get involved. However I wouldn't call Somaliland a enemy as they done nothing to harm Somalia. If things get really bad than we have to try and help them to remain united. And then give them a Taiwan independence model.

Yh that’s why I put the enemy part of the quote in quotations.

just channeling this famous quote

I support and encourage Somaliland independence. I need those people to be strong. HAG is fighting a brutal war with CBB. We are winning this war. Somaliland collapsing would be a nightmare for us.

Taiwan is a bad example they are in open conflict with China. I think honk Kong vs China is a better example of autonomy but even that has many problems

Well Somaliland treats Somalia's citizen like shit, they don't really like us over there. The people are ok but the government pushes a strong anti Somalia agenda, they want somalia to be chaotic to boost their independence chances

Nope. Complete independence for Somaliland is a must. Otherwise what is the point. I support Somaliland not because I love or care about Somaliland. It is just pure political interest.

I don't care. It is their country and they can do whatever they like to visitors. Actually Somaliland has always treated HAG community good. Like wise I like to treat Somalilanders good too in Somalia. We are two different countries but Muslim and Somali. Reer CBB is my enemy, certainly not Somaliland.

 

[GuanYu]

Nothing, Not our business

 

[Indeed]

It’s none of Somalia business. It died in 1991, and we separated since then.

 

[Som]

It’s none of Somalia business.

It is the moment your president accused Cirro of having armed people from Xamar on his side. This is a very big accusation.
As a pro Biixi lander do you believe that Cirro and Waraabe have unionist leanings and ties to Somalia? Cause it seems pro Biixi folks used to throw this accusation a lot even during Farmaajo administration

This qabilist mentality is what destroyed Somalia and what is causing unrest in Somaliland.

How is that going to help your qabil? How do you guys benefit? Somaliland is ee facto independent if they get recognize nothing will change for you except more seats in parliament but you would have to fight for the vacated Somaliland seats with Darood and other Hawiye

@Dowlad is obviously @Galmudug-State, the loser has too much time on his hands.

80% of CBB is from Baran, Bocaame area etc. Somaliland permanently taking them away will be a good thing for me. I don't care too much about Somaliland but that nation being strong and independent will be a big poltical benefit for ,me. Inshallah things will soon calm down in Somaliland and its good people will unite again as they have always done.
