    Why chose an obscure name like "Macrobia" which is historically dubious? The location of that imaginary kingdom is unknown, some say Abyssinia or India or the horn (Similar to Punt). Changing the name to Golisia will not fix the problem, you can't erase history and pretend to be different people,If you spoke a different language and looked remotely different or even adopted a different religion (I suggest a different Abrahamic religion )then you can call yourself whatever you like( I don't take the afrohashimite nonsense seriously).

     

    Re-branding is not the solution, you're not a company or a startup.

    Your just regurgitating English talking points, the union only ever worked for England, making her rich, famous, powerful, the seat of government, etc. Scotland hasn't been so lucky, they have been impoverished while north sea oil wealth went into into enriching and propping up London. Scotland would've been as prosperous as Norway had it been independent. England gets the accolades and basks in the glory of the British Empire, but it is Scotsmen who have played an outsized role in its success. Wales, N.Ireland, Scotland are basket cases in European terms. Before that Ireland under English rule was even poorer before it become independent and prosperous.

     

    Somalia and Waqooyi Galbeed is different, if the central clan that is agitating for independence were to say we will only secede with our clan boundaries i don't think many Somalis will have a gripe. But that isn't the case.

     

    I couldn't have said it better myself. I commented before on the cognitive dissonance exhibited here by Somalilanders and some one pointed to me the imaginary special relationship that SLers feel towards the UK and their perception that if the UKs standing in the world diminishes then it will affect their quest for independence.

    I understand that they are one of the most suffering people in Somalia but there are conflicting stories pointing to different states comprised of different provinces. The IC community doesn't support them and all they are doing is putting a guy behind a desk with a flag. Strangely the government now supports the 3 province state conference(which is shocking to me).

    I'm against the Gov who are not respecting the Fair and transparent election-

     

    Candidates competed for Maamulka Koonfur Galbeed Soomaaliya a fair election took place their was a winner , Clearly that did not take place in Kismaayo no election or vote .

     

    Did you attend both conferences? and what is the definition of a fair and transparent election to you? from what i read (meager sources) the Baidoa conference is not actually representative of the wider region and is not supported by facts on the ground. Lower Shabelle is claimed by three upstart states and Juba is already a de facto state (at least for the moment). You appear hell bent on supporting strange fantasies or you have an ulterior motive of muddling the path towards federalism (ineffective internet rumor mongering).

    This doesn't make any sense at all.

     

    Anyway the Russian economy was collapsing before this military intervention and the Ruble is dropping to its lowest point is many years, the G8 is now the G7 and if the US freezes Russian assets and imposes sanctions then it's all over for their economy.

    Russia might have taken everybody by surprise but we all know that their economy can't withstand any sanctions if they take military actions beyond Crimea. It's funny watching the west scramble after engaging in unnecessary wars with lesser powers in the middle east, maybe China will asserts its turf next.

    This is one of the most important jobs in Somalia and I'm not sure that this guy is qualified. How can a person become a "Brigadier General" in a couple of years? Do you know how many there are in the biggest militaries of the world? I hope he does better than expected though my expectations are so low he might meet them by accident.
