Ok so hear me out. I got these 2 somali lads that I'm very close with. We have known each other since high school. 1 is isaaq and the other is dhulbahante. So basically the isaaq guy is so obsessed with Somaliland to a point where it scares me (mind you he hasn't changed), and in discussions with other somalis the first thing he would utter is that he is a 'proud' lander.
During our high school years he would reach out to me via Facebook and send me bunch of articles from pro Somaliland outlets, whilst at the same time hyping up SL. He'd say stuff like: 'Omg look bro we are progressing!' 'SL is truly far ahead from the rest of Somalia, just look at this new hospital we've built, new road, new schools etc' So me being me, I eventually got caught up in his hype (yes, I was a naive boy in HS). So this one time after school I ran straight to my home, opened my computer and searched for Somaliland/Hargeisa on Youtube. What I saw was truly horrifying.
I did not see any roads. No new schools, heck even the hospitals were missing. Instead all I saw was huge amount of dirt on the ground, goats roaming free everywhere and drivers struggling to get by due to no roads. I was mad. Furious in fact. I felt betrayed. Like why would this nigga lie?
If you don't believe me just look at this 2019 video showcasing SomaliLand/Hargeisa
It's like when a guy hypes up his new car. Tells you all about how great it is, how fast it drives etc. In the process you expect something like this
But in reality it looks something like this
Atleast MJs and the other qabils are humble So tell me sspot why are landers like this?
