A question for somalilanders

[Prince Abubu]

The British granted you independence with the intention of you joining Italian Somaliland. At the time it was the best thing to do and backed by ALL parties involved. Stop pretending like you did us a favour. Furthermore, if you're worshipping the cadaan man's ruling, the AU's founding resolution was not to violate the integrity of colonial borders. The AU was formed after British & Italian Somaliland was dissolved and the republic of Somalia came to existence. You barely have a legal peg to stand on, that's why the international community needs Mogadishu's compliance.



Not true, Somali women cannot dance like Bantu women. Even cadaans dance much better.

What utter nonsense. The British actually warned us again joining southern Somalia and told us to not jump headlong into a union. Would that we had listened.

They're only concerned with Somaliweyn because Somaliland is against it. I guarantee you if Siilaanyo declared to be pro-somaliweyn they would declare an independent state of Khatumo iwm.

Khatuumo is not even a maamul

I am done throwing shade at Dhulbahante they're our Harti brothers, but they have their own issues they need to deal with and they have a very valid reason to want to be neither with Puntland nor Somaliland. But Khatuumo is not the way to go about it.

 

[Mohsin]

Clan based election is what I do not like reunion to Somalia. Somalia should have to change parliamentary system to Presidential system.They need multiparty system

President elected by the people like Somaliland. it is more democratic. South their elections are not fair.

 

[Prince Abubu]

If they were colonised by the Italians then there would be no such talks of "independence", if they were colonised by the French they'd be part of Djibouti, if the were colonised by abyssinia they'd be part of Ethiopia.

It just so happened to be the British who was the colonialist, and so they want to return to British drawn lines that have no historical precedence.

Do you think Isaaq are like your people, who go whichever way the wind blows?

Are these imbeciles now actually saying that Isaaq never had a choice to begin with? That we had no say in whether to join Italian Somalia or not?

The level of lies, delusion and bullshit is too much, even for munafiqs.

 

[SomaliWadaniSoldier]

Wait when Isaaq is picked as president.
One of the two things will happen:
1) Celebrations in Waqooyi
or
2)Curse sessions for the konfuurian President

do you actually believe that?

 

[Prince Abubu]

do you actually believe that?

I know these people, so yes.

 

[SomaliWadaniSoldier]

I know these people, so yes.

What is your view, niyoow.

i agree

In May 1960, the British Government stated that it would be prepared to grant independence to the then protectorate of British Somaliland, with the intention that the territory would unite with the Italian-administered Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland). The Legislative Council of British Somaliland passed a resolution in April 1960 requesting independence and union with the Trust Territory of Somaliland, which was scheduled to gain independence on 1 July that year. The legislative councils of both territories agreed to this proposal following a joint conference in Mogadishu.

 

[Prince Abubu]

What is your view, niyoow.

On what?

 

[embarassing]

I know these people, so yes.

i think you're generalizing and being clannist, don't let hate or individuals on the internet make you become unreasonable and unjust from emotion

 

[SomaliWadaniSoldier]

On what?

this koonfurian waqooyian issue of unity/secession

 

[black]

No, you're completely wrong. There was no act of union signed by Somalia and Somaliland thus we have the strongest case for any nation trying to be independent. Technically speaking we never united aside from the verbal agreements.

So you're saying you sat 30+ years on a verbal contract? I'm not lawyer, but I'm pretty it holds up

 

[horumar]

Don't be in an idiot. You're an autonomous region within Somalia. Independent =/= separate. The old system does not work in this century. We must move on from geeljire savagery. It is outdated and does not allow you to compete on the world state. There is a reason East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria, Wessex etc. have ceased existing.

Yes, because one of the kingdoms was stronger than all the rest, and pracitcally took over the whole of England. That is medieval nonsense, wake up.

That doesn't mean the condition of granting independence was that we join Italian Somaliland, but that our intention was to get independence then join the south in an equal union. Are you seriously implying the only reason Somaliland stopped being a British protectorate was because they wanted us to join Italian Somaliland?

 

[Zayd]

How are you not for recognition but insist in not uniting with Somalia

Well the worst thing apart from unification is becoming a silly irrelevant vassal state under the influence of another foreign country. That is what will happen if we are recognised.

 

[Hilaac]

Those regions are not apart of Somalia and we have no hope for gaining union with them if we are further balkanizing, Djibouti is okay but a region like Ogaden has been suffering for so long, my ayeyo is from there originally.

You could say the same for Somaliland.

Where are you from originally?

 

[embarassing]

Yes, because one of the kingdoms was stronger than all the rest, and pracitcally took over the whole of England. That is medieval nonsense, wake up.

and if that didn't happen they would be like the other tiny irrelevant balkan states in europe treated as pawns and poor, instead of a world power.

The UK was prepared to give us recognition before. In the late 50s we rejected it, in order for the 10 year trusteeship to expire in Italian Somaliland. We wanted unity. We didn't want to be a whole seperate state. That is why the UK recognised us 5 days before we united.

and if that didn't happen they would be like the other tiny irrelevant balkan states in europe treated as pawns and poor, instead of a world power.

Somalia will never be a world power kkkkkk we are an African nation, the only way we can ever be able to even think of getting close is if the whole of Africa united. Soomaliya dooni mayno, anaku xamar tagi mayno! Long live Jamhuuriyada Somaliland!
