I hope many diehard secessionists in North Somalia and elsewhere agree with me the fact, that claiming, campaigning and propagate for virtual independence of a territory against visible or invisible protagonist is the ultra-light side of a coin. To simplify what I want to bring out is, that it is known that corruption deteriorates the stability and moral of a society from inside and bring it to a total collapses. Comparatively and biological expressing, in plants, fungal infection or cancer in human body, both diseases deteriorates the resistance of plants/human in a low motion and leads ultimately to a final death.
Following that, the political class in Hargeisa (Exclusively Said Barre Scholars) are equally and without exception and alleged clan, the world champions of a devastating corruption culture against Harding working people in the region who are suffering seriously an overdose of corruption executed by their elected scrupulous politicians. In contrary to the daily Propaganda of the secessionists against the war torn Southern Somalia, it is the corrupted local politicians of the region that are a real threat to the relatively peaceful environment in the area and not those innocent people who are suffering war, droughts etc in South Somalia.
However, Somalis from Diaspora or external visitors are confronted in Hargeisa a cannibalistic corruption mentality right at the Airport named after Mr Mohamed Haji Ibrahim Egal, the later Premier Minister of Somalia. Starting from the arrival or departure from Hargeisa airport, bad behaving and greedy faces of different airport employees approaches passengers telling aggressively that the airport employees are badly paid and need money for their daily expenses no matter how. There is absolutely no visible discipline, administration, seniority or duty division among employees at the air port which is in place.
Every airport employee from the top to the bottom is engaged on how to bring in or out someone from his family/relative or college from the airport as quick as possible. Unknown and disciplined visitors simply keep watching the frustrating and time consuming chaotic circus of loud shouting individuals at the airport. Those who have no body at the airport must be patient in queue and pay airport fee after all other passengers “proudly” left the airport.
The situation is quite similar in Berbera Sea and Airport bazaars where a corrupted and clan dominated group turned the national ports to literally Alfred Hitchcock horror ghost houses. Is that the price for the alleged independence?
Similarly, primitive mentality and undisciplined and chaotic organisational movements governs the floors of the presidency, Ministries offices each own by a clan who are visibly shouting before the khat sessions kick-off for all. Similar anarchic and senseless hectic activities can be monitored daily in both honourable houses of the “democratically elected institutions” of the Region but I will not recommend no body to listen the political pollution circulating at the corridors because most of the hard talks at such sights is nothing more than nauseating clan politics.
You won’t hear for example any protest or heating discussions on national issues, for example about the catastrophic education standard in the area. Mostly, private individuals own the education system just like bread business. The only difference is that ordinary people can differentiate between good and bad bread and not the quality of education offered by business people who are of course profit oriented. The corrupted secessionist consortium in Hargeisa are more concerned on how to fill their pockets rather than to take care of the quality of the education for a huge lost generations in the Region. The frustrating point at this situation is that the clan based propaganda of the so-called political parties and hardcore secessionists in the Diaspora diverted the attention of the people to a never-ending and alleged enemy in the South. Gradually, the crucial question one can ask himself now in the new Mogadishu of the North is how long the political class are going to fool the people?
The ongoing aggressive Stone Age clan politics which is the fundament of the corruption reached its peak as some clan janglers lead by the president declared Caynabo, Odwenye or Zeila as regions without undertaking any viability studies or the issue being discussed by the claimed democratically elected Parliament.
The hardworking and very efficient people in the North are becoming more and more victims of irresponsible and destructive political corruption. One of the systematic and recent evidence of manipulating the people in the North is the macabre propaganda against the new Somali passport. If you go to Hargeisa holding the new Somali passport and you are not from the North, the immigration officers will send you back to where you come from. Strange enough, most of the Somalis including their politicians in the North use the old Somali travel documents. This senseless activism shows the political quality and subtle propagandistic operations of the ruling class to mislead the people from the burning issues in the area.
Politicians in Hargeisa execute systematically such irresponsible and hypocritical actions but at the same time they humiliate innocent Somali individuals at the airport so that people in Hargeisa will be remembered life time the “bad boys” from the South. For the fairness of the critics, we have fortunately many heroes in the huge and active civil societies in the North who are swimming against the tsunami corruption waves in Hargeisa which is induced by the political class in the area.
Having said all that, as I am from the North, the real enemy of the people in the North is not the Somalis in south or the TFG but the corrupted politicians in Hargeisa. This must be challenged otherwise people will suffer the impact of the corruption and that will seriously undermine the astronomic achievements of the hard working people in Hargeisa, Borama, Burao etc as well as the peace which is the inevitable frame of real life.

Juma, Probably it is your millionth time to say there is nothing called Somaliland, but does your rubbish claim bother us? No, of course not for the simple reason that we do not consider you a human being with brains and anyway morons like you and your partner in crime crazy old fool Gaadh-haye are not expected to know, accept or confirm the existence of our country and whether or not we secede from Somalia is non of your concern since you are not part or have any connection with the Somaliweyn cause which your NFD & Kilinka betrayed and buried alive long time ago. It is amazing how you and most of your clan's lost generation waste their time closing their eyes to the reality and always crying there is no Somaliland as if their stupid denial could somehow make it disappear. What a pathetic loser!

WOW EGEH,
FIRST THERE IS NOTHING CALLED 'SOMALIALAND' AND SOMALIA. ITS ABSOLUTE NONSENCE. THERE IS ONLY THE REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA AND WHAT YOU ARE CALLING 'SOMALIA'LAND IS THE NORTHWEST PROVINCE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA. HAVING SAID THAT, OGADENIA AND SOUTH OGADENIA (NFD)CAN ONLY JOIN A UNITED SOMALIA, BUT NOT A FRAGMENTED SOMALIA. ITS BECAUSE OF THIS BELEIVE IN THE IDEAL SOMALIWEYN THAT WE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE THE SECESSION OF THE SO CALLED 'SOMALILAND'. MY BROTHERS IN OGADENIA PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE ETHIOPIA GOVERNMENT POLICY TO DENY THE IDOOR FIEFDOM ANY RECOGNITION SO DO WE IN KENYA AND THE IGAD REGION. SO EGEH YOUR DREAMS ARE 'HAL BACAAD LAGULISE' IN SOMALI REAL POLITIC. WE ARE STEADFAST SOMALIWEYN NATIONALIST. THE BIGGEST SOMALI TRIBE NOT CLAN.

Let all the good Somalis know that Juma & Gaadh-haye are from NFD & Kilinka Shanaad respectively who have pledged their allegiance to their respective colonial masters, but who are engaged in a sinister campaign to create animosity between the people of Somaliland and Somalia just to cover up their clan's double standard. We all know that neither NFD nor Kilinka have no desire whatsoever to join the Somali club.
|

Juma, At least we in Somaliland have our own projects, plans and dreams with the possibility of success. You have no brain to comprehend, but wise people say if you try you may succeed while if you do not try at all you will have nothing but a guranteed failure. You know you and your people have no ambitions, no aspirations and no targets whatsoever since you are satisfied with your present day status of being subjugated,dominated, colonized, enslaved by the lowly Kenyans. You know no life other than being the obedient servants of your Kenyans. For your information people like you and Gaadh-haye are not supposed to say anything about the Somali affairs so long as you behave and act like sub-humans who have no pride hence bringing shame to the rest of the Somali nation.
|

WHY PEOPLE ARE MAD ABOUT SOMALI LAND? LET THEM BE A COUNTRY SO ALL THE REST OF SOMALIAN CAN TAKE THEIR FOOT STEPS... WELL DONE SOMALI LAND I AM HAPPY FOR YOUR SUCCES,BUILD UP STRONG AND LOYAL TROOPS FOR YOUR COUNTRY, STRONG AND POWERFULL MILATRY SO THAT U CAN INVADE THE REST OF SOMALIA.

egeh
Calacalka iska daa. Be a man. The chicken have come home to roost. Secession cannot stand the test of time. You may sing "somali"land here in this forum, till the cows come back home, but your project wont move an inch! its been a long 20 years for your pet project you have moved no where. Your dreams lingered because of the situation in the south. when the south settles i will assure you treason mass trials will commence in hargeisa and borama. You cant debate with me because you are a trecherous traitor.
|
|
Juma, You are not fit to debate with a human being. Your place is among the animals and you and the no good Gaadh do belong to a Zoo. Go back to your origin and leave us (people) alone.
|

egeh
You are detoriarating at a very high rate. do not lose your head, we are only debating here. if you cant beat them join them. ok littlle egeh qaldaan. no insults chicken head.
|

Gaadh-haye, You are pathetic. You and this Juma character, the Kenyan servant from NFD have no brains and for you information the IQ of a five year old human being is far better the animal brain of yours and Juma's.

Gaad-haye
The cowards cant stand the heat and they are already out of the kitchen that is 'somali'land
|

EGEH AND JINGA JAWI DONT DELUDE YOURSELF AND DONT MISLEAD THE FORUM. EVERYBODY KNOWS IN NORMAL COUNTRIES SECESSION IS A DANGEROUS BUSINESS. ANYBODY WHO EVEN DREAMS TO FRAGMENT OR BREAK UP A SOVEREIGN NATION IS GUILTY OF HIGH TREASON. THIS CRIME IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. BUT SOMALIA IS NOT A NORMAL COUNTRY, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD HAVE A MASS TRIAL IN HARGEISA AND HEROS LIKE GENERAL MORGAN WOULD HAVE GOT BACK THEIR JOB IN DEFENCE OF THE NATION. GEN MORGAN AND OTHER NATIONALISTS WERE ACTUALLY FIGHTING CRIMINALS INTENT ON DESTROYING THE SOMALI NATION IN THE 1980S. AS FOR THE OGADENIA NATION, ITS NOT A CLAN ENCLAVE LIKE SLAND, COS OGADEN IS BIGGER THAN WHAT SOMALIS CALL CLAN. OGADEN IS QARAN AND ITS THE NAME OF A NATION IN THE HORN OF AFRICA. JUST LIKE UGANDA GOT ITS NAME FROM HER BIGGEST TRIBE THE BUGANDA, SO IS OGADEN. SOUTH OGADENIA IS COMING SOON IN NFD + JUBA. WATCH THIS SPACE.

Gaadh-haye, If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen! Coward.
|
|
Can’t you get your message through without using strong language and insulting others who’ve nothing to do with our discussion?
Can’t you do that? You’re really misrepresenting the very cause you seem to be defending. What a loser!
|
|
Gaadh-haye, Nothing you say about Somaliland can be true and anyway you have no business in our internal affairs. Our leaders whether the government or the opposition have, like any other democratic country, their political in-fighting and challenges and as normal all kinds of propaganda tools are used for justifications, but what counts is the end results which is always peaceful and amicable understanding and acceptable solutions, or else we would have suffered the same fate as the rest of the Somalis including your lost and destroyed by the notorious ONLF criminals Kilinka Shanaad. Gaadh-haye don't you realize that you have lied through your teeth when you claimed that you may be stake holder and an insider in Somaliland.You know what! I see you as an intruder who wastes his time and energy denying Somaliland's peace, properity, development, advancement and stability purely for jealousy purposes only, while neglecting the affairs of his Kilinka and ignoring the suffering of his own people.

Egeh,
Welcome back. You’re the man who crashes like dropped eggs with the mere mention or criticism of ‘Somaliland’.
Any way, do you remember a conversation we had long ago about Siilaanyo and my ‘insider’ source revelations which you dismissed as false and phony smear campaign against the opposition leader?
Did you remember the encounter Siilaanyo had with Dr Frazer and the way I quoted and narrated that story?
At least some of what I wrote was true, do you agree?
I may be stake holder in ‘Somaliland’ and a serious insider. Don’t you dismiss me as an outsider.

Gaadh-haye, Here you again! Showing your true colours. Double-facedness and hypocrisy of the worst kind. Trying, in an obvious deceit, to show the rest of the forum participants how much you care about Somaliweyn while your actions speak louder than words and show what a diehard ONLF militant mentality you have. It is quite clear that the mere mention of Somaliland triggers the deepest and the darkets hatred in your heart. Now let me make few things quite clear for you, not trying to change your mind because that will be futile attempt by all standards but simply to enlighten you:
The concept of Somaliweyn has been dead for a long time hence contrary to your claim Somaliland can not be a threat to it at all. Your Ogadeen is part and parcel of the very reason for the death of Somaliweyn since they even refused to accept having the name Somali connected to their so called Kilinka Shanaad in anyway, shape or form.
Jigjiga is not an exclusive town for the Ogadeens, has never been and will never in the future be. All the residents of Jigjiga are jigjigaawi's and can express their opinion they way they please. It is be silly on your part to ask anybody to drop his name.
Somaliland like any other country has its fair share of corrupt politicians and other employees, but it is a fact that peace and stability has prevailed since 1991 and you can't, if you are in your right mind, deny that.
Your statement that Hargeisa airport is where they ask you Qolomaad tahay upon arrival is totally false and utterly rubbish. I challenge you to prove it.
Finally, I think you should concentrate more on your ONLF and forget all about Somaliland.
|

Jigjigaawi, Good response! Apart from the peaceful co-existence and stability, the northern administration poses the greatest threat and danger to the concept of Somaliweyn including your tiny Jigjiga? If you're a seccesionist and living in occupied Jigjiga, why not pick a name that best captures your separatist idealogy?
By using that name you're giving out the impression that Jigjigaawis or the larger western Somalis are for separation and disintegration of Somalia. Which is not the case, and you know it.

Gaadh haye,
Brother, it's irrelevant what username one uses or the language he/she chooses to convey their point of view. This is an opinion forum, so please stay with the topic in discussion. I'm not going to give excuses on why I chose this particular username nor I expect to ask you permition for it. I only stated my opinion and you don't have to agree with me.
I can't put down the Somalilander as some of my close reletives are currently either studying or doing bussiness in Somaliland; and to be honest, they're quite happy dealing with Hargeisa government then Jigjiga or Addis government.   | |
