Haatu Wrong. Majority of southerners are farmers not nomadics. May May and Bantu groups heavily concentrated in the riverine areas, Bay and Bakool, Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Middle Jubba, Lower Jubba and parts of Hiiraan make up at least 25% of Somalia. Large parts of HAG such as the Unuka also practise agriculture, so it is false to say majority of southerners practise nomadism. If majority of Bay and Bakool groups who hold 61 mps , majority of 0.5 groups such as Bantus and majority of HAG groups who hold 61 mps in the Somalia parliament are farmers in their lands . That shows majority of southerners are indeed farmers not nomads. Only the DAG are mostly nomads in south Somalia.

Somaliland and Somalia also have distinct culture and cuisines. Niiko, dhisow, walaqo, cambuulo, muufo etc is unknown in Somaliland.

I think it is inaccurate to say the Bantus are originally from the south when they themselves admit they were stolen from their families in Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique just 200 years ago. However there could be a tiny percentage of Bantus that lived there longer than other Bantus. Anyway what I find interesting is the reer Xamar cad cad of Benadir who also more recently came from Oman and Yemeni 400-300 years ago are not told to go back home only the Bantus.

Ethnic minorities face discrimination in Somali areas, that is not false is it. Just don't look beyond what is happening Middle Shabelle (a place with high Bantu population), they are being attacked by other groups with finances from Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.

Return to Tanzania, the story of Kizito.

Who are the Somali Bantu? "But originally we came from another part of Africa and it's Mozambique and Malawi"

Well he was a Ethiopian, finally his statue is erected to where he belongs.

Oodweyne That is exactly what I think, because the leaders of the opposition are very nationalistic namely Faisal, they have a contempt for the south, it is very unlikely that they can be manipulated by others to damage the wider interest of Somaliland. It would be naive for us to buy the propaganda of the Kulmiye party easily against the opposition. After all it is Kulmiye government that is doing all those back hand useless agreements with the Somalia government masqueraded as "talks". Rather the reason Kulmiye is saying this at this current time is because there is a upcoming wide conference to highlight the incompetence of Kulmiye party and problems facing Somaliland and how to fix it. During the UDUB tenure Kulmiye as a opposition was simply fine with such conferences, so I don't buy their crocodile tears all sudden when their corruption is being unearthed.

Kulmiye should not try to use the Somalia government which has no weight in Somaliland at a ll as a scapegoat for the rising tensions between the opposition parties and Kulmiye.

Haatu Those people are enforcing the notion that some Africans are slaves and then when they got to the west they cry if they are called racist terms. So it is best to find more creative terms for your arch enemies in Kenya.

Why are people ganging up on Safferz. I agree adoomey is a derogatory term similar to Cabeed.

Tallaabo Enough with the crocodile tears. Those same southerners you're crying about is those you want to share a "country" with.

If she said it was ok to bomb terrorists nothing wrong with it. Remember it is terrorists and metal scrap looters that have set back south Somalia.

Doesn't matter scrap metal looters will always be looters whether they wear a military fatigue or not.

Well since Somalia claims it is improving in security and more "liberated" areas, it should be able to take back its own refugees. I heard Somalian refugees in Yemen are also to be sent back.

That could be true as they always look for distractions from their inner problems, they like to blame everything either on Somaliland or Puntland Lol. However nowadays they are openly in verbal conflict with each other as they realized ayaga lugaha iis haya.

Daadkan khaatumo waligood internal fights kama baxan miya.
