It is not a scare tactic Ducale. Sure Iley and his henchmen were among the worst tyrants the Somali people had ever seen, but to call the takeover of Somali territories by Oromo mobs and the lynching of innocent Somalis a scare tactic is unhelpful to the victims.

Well said Xaaji. Somalis are ill-informed about our politics from the late 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. Somaliland was never a colony. It was more like what Costa Rica is to the US.

You are showing symptoms of Oromo brainwashing.

If he was not from the D block, he is also certainly neither from the H block nor the Duriyadda as all these clans claim to be the product of some Arab guys who had good time with Oromo women few centuries ago.

It looks like the folks in Puntland administration have no shame or moral standards!!! They are trying to play politics with a suffering man's health. May I ask why they do not extend the same medical help to those Garaad clan soldiers who were injured in Tukaraq if they are not munaafaqiin with an insincere duco from their mouth?

Mooge I wish someone could help him but as you and everyone knows, millions of dollars of our meagre resources are already stollen by the devilish politicians of all clans. So today if this politician is given medical treatment with what is left in the public purse, another one will be in a similar situation in the near future. So then where to draw the line? If all the politicians use the public purse as their private health insurance fund, what will be left for the millions of terribly poor people who don't have even a single basic public hospital? I sympathise with Cali Sandulle as my Muslim brother and fellow Somalilander of great stature but giving politicians and leaders even more privileges is not a good idea. If I had my way, I would have made every political office in the land an unpaid volunteer job. My advice to Cali Sandulle would be: ask for qaadhaan from his relatives and from his fellow politicians and with the funds raised go to India or Malaysia.

Ethiopia and Somaliland have an extradition treaty between them so anyone wanted by Ethiopia whatever the reason will be handed over to them. I don't like it for the flow of traffic seems to be only one way but that is how it has been for some time.

For so long I was worried that he could be one of the countless casualties of Iley and TPLf tyranny but I am glad he is well and alive. Congratulations @Abtigiis you are a principled man.

Why should they? A criminal is a criminal whatever his clan.

Ilaaha wayn ee waaxidka ahi caafimaad degdeg ah inuu siiyo ninkaa buka ayaan uga baryayaa laakiin Cali wuxuu la mid yahay ummadda qaranka ku dhaqan ee adeeg caafimaad la'aan la silcaysa. Muuse Biixi maanta haddii isna xanuunsado Rabbi kama dhigee maan jeclaadeen in uu hantida qaranka si gaar ah u isticmaalo.

Are you serious?

Caare is a legend. Right in the middle of Puntland he proclaimed the sovereignty of Somaliland calling it "jumhuriyad". On top of that he said Sool and Sanaag are part and parcel of the "jumhuriyadda Somaliland" and that he owns them and wants justice for all the Somalilanders living in these states If this is what an anti-Somaliland trouble maker looks like, what are the diehard seccessionists like? Of course Saalax is a sheegato so does not count

Well for nearly 30 years could we not find someone to throw a mere stone at that damn glass? Or do we need a special stone to do the job? Perhaps we need the heavenly black stone in the ka'ba which is rumoured to come with Adam and his wife when they were evicted from the garden. Maybe Adam brought that stone with him so that the glasshouse called Somaliland could one day be shattered in a Michael Jackson style by Mr Dalmar

Ban their aircrafts from black Africa. Simple!!

The thing I can never understand is: how can a man get elected to an office and accumulate so much wealth without being asked a single question about the source of his wealth? Where is the law of the land?

People should either abandon tribalism and elect God-fearing competent leaders to govern them or keep their mouths shut. There is no other choice.

That is an old news my friend. Nowadays, degmada daami kaliya ayaa intaa aad sheegtay sannad walba lagu dhalaa

Few years ago I suggested that the best way to achieve reunion is for Somaliland, Djibouti, and Somalia form an EU style confederation but now I have realised that would not be possible as Somalis are a people with no understanding of rules and the rule of law.

You are just avoiding the unfortunate facts Xaaji Xunjuf mentioned. It is of no use putting your fingers in your ears and screaming lalalalala like a naughty child.

Waar maxaad meesha waxan u keentay Luqaddeeniiba inta cayda ah ayuu ka bartay lol. Talaw maxay Oromo inagu nacday

Why? Ma *** inaynu nahay ayaad dafiraysaa. Mise waxaad tahay kuwa aaminsan Soomaalidu inay tahay carab la garcaday oo Africa lagusoo qubay

I did not say anything about the Ogs as a clan- for that would be an injustice on my part, but I did blame their clan administration.

The Somalis in the region should insist on the democratisation of their institutions and hold elections as soon as possible because it will be very difficult for the federal government to remove a democratically elected leader or interfere in the governing of a democratic region.

I agree the cagdheer administration is just as evil as the Oromo mobs. There is no distinction between the two.

The Chinese are not fools. They know that they much to lose and little to gain if they start a war with the west.
