JB, good luck sxb. I hope you get to wherever you set your heart onto. Safar Salaam with your journey again... PS: I hear you're going far from beloved Hargeysa. Take a good care.

You can't tell us not to be proud, to 'burn' our flag or indulge in 'self-hate'and then turn around to say 'I am proud' (of some of you?) Look, what we have here are two adjacent sentences and two contradictory messages! For heaven's sake, you are making yourself redundant as an adviser! Keep your day job (if you are good at it) .

Waryaa jacaylka, adiga are you trying to entice us or something horta? Just not long ago I was reading you post '50 million' shilling given to LaasCaano and now its foreign doctors? Wah, waraa naga qalee nooh. Waxan waa Somaliland's PR machince in a fenzy for a photo op. I am impressed at how they are capitalizing on opporunities though. Its something .

Oodweyne, Lol. All those threats simply for appreciating your artistry of highlighting? Now come on old chap, don't you be talking about Maakhir on my account. Maybe you should try the others for I am loosely connected to it .

Perhaps some general words on this topic? Especially on BiLaaL and NGONGE's contribution. I suspect that NGONGE is implying that if all Unionists want is Greater Somalia unity; they should get over their idealism of arriving at it somewhat heroically. That is not how it happens, rather, let them be absolutely objective about things for once. Instead, if they want united Somalia, they should swallow your bride and let those who can bring it about do the job. Fair enough. A reasonable suggestion considering his only deals with the desire to achieve the now-illusive unity some seek. Having conceded the validity of his assertion, however, it is now time for deeper questions to both NGONGE and BiLaaL. Despite the methodological divergences, in this juncture of the debate, it would be important to ask: which kind of unity is most sustainable for greater Somalia, and what would it mean for the short and long-term future of its subjects? The operative terms should be ‘sustainability’ and ‘effectiveness’. Granted unity was achieved by either the TFG or the UIC; whose idea of unity would most likely be sustainable, and if sustainable, effective in future Greater Somalia? First: the problem with a TFG unity, I believe, is that it would be a peculiar brand. Peculiar brand because its establishment is bound to be engineered by the very powers against which we seek unity! Also, since the TFG would be pressured by these powers to denounce the claim over other Somali-inhabited regions under their control, the concept of unity (embodying all five Somali regions) would simply become redundant. What else is there to unite? Force Somaliland back into the fold and cry ‘we’ve achieved ultimate unity’? That would really sound daft. Even if TFG unity were to be given a chance, unity in essence has to be transcendent enough to ensure domestic security. Would the TFG be in a position to guarantee domestic security? How would it possibly fend off against the overtures of its architect and stop it from preying on the state’s subjects? Also, would such unity, if sustained for years, affect the country’s progressive military and economic performance? In the short term, a TFG unity might seem appealing, but in a nutshell, in the long run we are better off it. Second: the problem with UIC unity may appear dissimilar to that of the TFG, but the claim over other Somali-inhabited regions would surely invite constant external existence threats. Overall, however, their idea of unity would be true to its meaning. With Allah and luck on their side, a UIC unity might be what independent and progressive military and economic performance requires. Although it should be mentioned that progressive military performance has the tendency to create a state of geopolitical security dilemma, with which every state must live. Similar to the TFG, however, the issue of forceful creation of unity (with regards to Somaliland and Puntland) is relevant, and harbours the potential to fail in the long run. There is a difficulty in maintaining a mosaic unity of forced peoples who never cease to struggle against it. Having touched on both kinds of unity, now let me try to propose a new kind of unity, which I think would be more appropriate. As I keep mentioning, a respectful way of creating a mutual unity is to appeal to clan consent. Somalis are by nature psychologically a hardheaded proud bunch of clannists. In the debates we have been having in SOL, a consideration of psychological profiling had been a missing ingredient. We are at least in dire need to determine the motivational psychology behind action and rhetoric. Which is the best methodology of goal attainment within the Somali: force, reason or psychological cajoling approach? The answer to this is: forcing Somalis solicits determined defiance; reason becomes the victim of the clannist’s appeal to emotions; but psychological cajoling approach appeals to the very emotionalism the clan appeals to. If we all accept the basic truth that the clan is emotions-driven, maybe the solution to its destructiveness lies within itself, in the skilful employment of emotions. If one pays enough attention to the hydraulics of clannish motivations, it soon becomes clear that the all powerful phrase is none other than: duulaanka reer hebel in aan is difaacno waa Jihad’ (a defense against clan so and so is a holy war). In Somali language, no other phrase than the one above psychologically stirs the emotions of the Somali. Resistance to its appeal is futile, not even the promise of Paradise works. As the proverb rightly states, ‘fiqi tolkii kama Janna tago’ (Not even the ‘fiqi’ forsakes his clan for the promise of Paradise). When such strong allegiance to the clan exists, the principles of logic, as we might know it, usually become instrumentally molded to make irrationally into rationality. The pervasive influence of clannishness thus creates an impenetrable and inescapable psychological and emotional fortress, which to enter, all other efforts become futile. Thus, the issue here is how can one penetrate the fortress and facilitate the escape of those trapped inside it? The simple answer is: to penetrate the fortress, use the very psychology and emotions that had trapped the captives in it and free them. Denial of their greatness and the use of force against them will only lead to ruinous resentful opposition. To date in every debate, there denial and the eradication of clannishness has been prominent, the result of which we now regret. So, let us massage their egos to reach deeper into the clannists. Appeal to their pride and soon their psychological and emotional gates swing wide open. Make them believe they are the masters of their destiny. Base all decisions on their consent. In other words, make available a parallel alternative as appreciative of their participation as their own clans do. Give them the impression that their clans deserve the best opportunities of a negotiated consensual and mutual national unity. Convince them that as men of honour and upstanding that if there was going to unity, it is they and only they who are its architects. Psychologically, nothing appeals to the man and woman than highlighting his or her greatness.

Gediid, thanks for the correction. I always thought it was Giriig. Good to know. Caamir, Lol@Saaxibadabaa sida siigada sanka kaa galayee! PS: Alla maxay rag aan ogsoonahay fidhiyaan caawa . Awoowgiin la janney (as Faarax Brown's grandad would say).

Rumours say that Adde Muse met Hassan Turki to convince him realise and undertake earlier promises which was to take control of SL and release all the Sheikhs in the Hargiasa prison including Sheikh Maxamed... Further news of the rumour say the ONLF forces will hit hard on the west of SL led by none other than Turki. Now that is what I call rumour .

Meanwhile in 2007, shidh hit the fan. PS: Read and learn, boys. Read an learn from Oodweyne.
