Do you tell people ur Somali

[novanova]

I didn’t know Djiboutians & Kenyans of ethnic Somali origin are also Ethiopians. What a warped ethno-fascist mind you have

When or how did you turn out this way? Also did you grow up with somalis (outside of your family)?

The fact that this needs to be heavily discussed is pretty sad.

Is this the first time you interacted with a Lander?

Also did you grow up with somalis (outside of your family)?

Have you ever visited Hargeisa,Berbera,Gabiley & Wajaale? There’s more political opinions outside of your qadaadweyn echo chamber. You got to be under 20 yrs old

I’ve interacted with many ”landers” in real life, all behaved like your average somali lol, tbh I have yet to hear anyone identify with SL (except for one girl), keep in mind that I grew up with many isaaq

The vast majority of landers say they are from Somaliland , they do it to avoid being associated with Somalia's issues. There's even a tendency among landers to get offended if they are called "Somali" which is just our ethnic group

SL is not an ethnicity issue, we are somali ethnicity wise. I have never seen SL people deny their somalis so thats new to me. If a Djibouti says his from Djibouti but ethnicity wise is somali everyone says thats fine. An NFD saying i am from Kenya but my ethnicity is somali than its fine. But when SL say they are from SL suddenly its a big problem.

SL is not an ethnicity issue, its a political issue and SL people decided to be independent from Somalia due to political issues as well as the safety and well being of the SL citizens. Djibouti, K5, NFD are somalis but not in Somalia. North Korea and South Korea are different countries but both are Korean. So why not SL?
