Most are brainwashed, I remember arguing with my cousins and I was baffled at the whole claim.Its based on a quasi protectorate made by the british which contradictively invaded the whole of Somalia in ww2.
Got no problem with somalilanders, definitely one of the more common Somalis you will run into in the diaspora.
the more important thing for Somalis is peace and prosperity.dont care if theres 20 independent enclaves as long as they in peace with each otha,trade,cross to each otha intermarry etc,and that includes otha Somalis outside the borders. Lets be rich quick by extracting oil and minerals,,talking too much about nationalism in lite of our recent history usually carries stinking carrot.
that's not gonna happen with nationalist rhetoric laden with qabyaalad and mischief. if you wana get somalinimo you have to find a way to circumvent destructive clan jigsawpuzzle.Been to many parts of the country and anyone at the top circles himself with his immediate kin and stooges and the little income we have from taxation is plundered incase you wondering all these beautiful buildings.theres no auditing,guilt or retribution,nothing has changed,,its the norm accepted even by the populace and everyone waiting their turn to rob.Most of those crying out loud about unity have mostly a hidden agenda,be it they wana their clan in good political position,get some extra power or in competition with someone he wana destroy and more likely start anotha vicious cycle..civil war. the real nationalists are the quiet ones who pragmatically looking for a way out of this mess even if its disengagement. its very much acknowledged that the few outcome positives from the civil war is everyone built his region where as before only Mogadishu was standing tall. If there eva a unity comes around theres a lot to be changed,literally topsy-turvy,you have to make everything upside down,starting with the capital being in middle ground,those entities get used to power to plunder and abuse be stripped of any powerful postion,and clans like from Baidabo etc lead the country.and I don't see that comn,so back to square one.
Why?I'm from SL but I'll always hate the noun "Somalilanders" or "'Landers".
Are we going to have Khat Apocalypse 2018?
WORD.Why y'all so disingenuous when even a cursory read of somali history reveals that there was never a collective somali state that occupied all the lands of the current country before the europeans. And post occupation that there were two successor states which joined in 1960 both which were sovereign, from which the current SL state gains it's legitimate claim to revert back to that sovereignty.
Y'all need to relax with the revisionism and cognitive dissonance.
A Unified Somali republic is a darood conspiracy to dominate
You are joking right?South Korea and North Korea have changed ethnically, whether it's physical features, language or genetics since the Korean war. On the ground there are many difference emerging you're already able to differentiate between Landers and Malis. There is no such thing as Somali anymore, there are Somalis. This diversity should be celebrated not minimised.
You are joking right?
Can you explain and describe the differences between Somalis from Somaliland compared to the rest of Somalia?
