with somalis in america reaching political heights in america, there will never be a pro somaliland agenda in america

 

[JamalFarah]

America is the world's superpower. If anything, Russia's blunder in Ukraine shows that there is no other option but to align, to some degree, with U.S. interests. Having the U.S. vocally support Somalia, along with reports of increasing military aid, is great news for Somalia.

It is a ploy to lull naive Somalis to a stupor, it is an old hand played more than once before. Simply put, his body language and delivery sends a different message than his words. Stay alert, people!

Best strategy: Somalis, esp. AS & Co. ought to maintain a low profile, stay dormant, let .Et eat itself from within, and once consumed itself, .So then assert itself 20-30 years from now, or however longer it might take.

Somalis are obsessed with Galbeed and “taking it back”. You’re correct in saying that the only way it will happen is if Somalia stabilizes itself, sorts out its own affairs, and waits. Even if we never regain Galbeed or NFD, a stable and prosperous Somalia will force Ethiopia and Kenya to disproportionately invest in the regions to keep the locals satisfied. A strong Somalia = an outsized Somali influence in our neighboring countries. That doesn’t sound like a bad worst-case scenario.

SL needs to accept that autonomous statehood within Somalia is the only way forward, alongside the PL vote, we can truly have a central government with very little power internally, no country in Africa will get recognition due to fears of it escalating, the last country that got that right was South Sudan and by the blessing of the USA.

Never is not even an option, the scenario you bring up is absurd. If somalia is strong enough to force investment. Then why not take over, im talking about ethiopia in particular. For kenya, your case can apply. But Galbeed and ethiopia no way. Of course not a war, but fund the hell out of their rebel groups so they fragment, that is if they dont do it themselves

Then why not take over

Any outright invasion by Somalia will be met with condemnation and possibly sanctions by the international community which is the last thing a newly revitalized Somalia needs. Somalia has to play it safe and only use force when necessary. Like you said, funding rebels is the way to go, its very easy to do so since the Somali-Ethiopian border is hardly secure and not properly demarcated.

We need to play smart, invest heavily push big families in the region, keep the peace and wait out Ethiopia's collapse, the Gadabuursi population has doubled in Ethiopia since the 90's, we just need to develop as a region and invest in security so no one messes with us.

I just think Somalia needs to focus on sorting its own house. Obviously we all want Galbeed back but I wouldn’t start a war over it unless there was a very good reason. Just wait until the opportunity presents itself.
