Galbeedi. Moving the Capital wouldn't solve our problems, it will only create a new set of problems, By the way, The Government might not have built anything in Ceelweyn and Buhoodle, but it didn't build anything in Garbahaarey, Beled Hawo, Caabudwaaq or any village inhibited by Barre's own sub-clan let alone his tribe. Any grievances based on lack of development is rather false.

You could always change your nationality.

Regardless of their circumstances, having a soldier with AK-47 standing a mother who just gave birth in detention is inhumane. If we set aside our tribal politics and see the human cost of this crackdown, no deserves this, not even us who are mostly responsible for failures.

Why is it under opinion section?

By Kwamchetsi Makokha More by this Author Arresting 657 Somalis in Eastleigh, holding them in cages at Kasarani Stadium, and taxing them for illegal presence in Kenya should teach terrorists a lesson. The deaths and injuries from recent terrorist tragedies must be avenged on the relations of those who relish the prospect of Kenyans’ tears. Since 2011 when the Kenya Defence Forces went into Somalia to rescue foreign tourists kidnapped by the terrorist Al-Shabaab, 84 explosions have gone off around the country, killing and maiming Christians in bars, cafes, churches, public buses and shopping malls. Invariably, the intelligence services have traced each improvised explosive device to a Somali. Still, the government has allowed these relatives of al-Shabaab to invest in the country, constructing tall buildings, trading and practising their religion oblivious of the poor pay the police receive. The time to atone for their stinginess is now. Kenya has continued to host thousands of Somalis in camps, where, overfed on rations, they plot how to harm their hosts. After infiltrating every state department, they have pledged their loyalty to their kin by issuing identity documents and passports, thus turning Kenya into a major transit point and recruiting ground for terrorists. It is their offer of comfort to their ethnic relations that has created thousands of terrorist sleeper cells. Stemming from the royal treatment extended to Somalis, they have invented great grandparents, parents and families in order to acquire Kenyan IDs and passports. Some have even acquired primary and secondary school certificates and university degrees to give the fiction of their Kenyan nationality a veneer of believability, but they do not fool anybody about where their true loyalties lie. Recall that since 1962, Somali have always wanted to leave Kenya and join the greater Somalia. ITINERANT HABITATION The suspicion that has been visited on them by the security services is at their own invitation. After years of living under the equatorial sun, their Cushitic features have not Kenyanised, their religion remains unchanged and they continue to roll in money despite not owning any land or cultivating any notable crops. It is unfathomable that the Somali community would continue to be so wealthy without embracing agriculture, the backbone of our economy. Even in rural areas, their itinerant habitation of spaces betrays a pulsating instinct to hide. Somalis have made scant effort to convert to the religion of the majority in Kenya. They have continued to wear their suspicious billowing robes and cover their women in inscrutable burqas. Any reasonable person must conclude that they must be hiding something under those loose fitting clothes. Many Somalis have made little effort to learn any other Kenyan language besides Kiswahili, marry into the other populations or assimilate. And they have not volunteered information to police about what Al-Shabaab are doing in Somalia, what they are planning in Kenya and when they expect to strike. This failure has resulted in security forces being caught by surprise every time there is a terrorist attack on Kenyan soil. Turning the screw on Somalis will force them to send frantic messages back to Al-Shabaab to cease attacking Kenyans. Instead of complaining about the legitimate security operation to flush out terrorists and their sympathisers from the midst of Kenyan society, the leadership of the Somali community should encourage its people to convert to Christianity, wear fewer clothes and line up at the border to be processed for re-entry into Kenya. It is the only way the government can be certain that Kenya is indeed for Kenyans. kwamchetsi@formandcontent.co.ke

lol@wise man, I am not sure about that. I am part of the ‘no nobody is noble among maryooley’ after-all.

<cite> @Mahiigaan said:</cite> No one will understand how to read X, Kh, and C. English has become the defacto language of the globe. Millions of Somalis in Somalia and neighboring countries understand X, Kh, and C.

I think you should have left at 'no nobody is noble among maryooley'.

lol@XX, you are losing your marbles.

The constitution is flawed. There is no Puntland nationality in the strict sense of the world. A region within a country cannot have a separate nationality. Whatever if someone from other regions of Somalia relocates to Puntland and wants to take part in the political process. Will they be denied because they don't have Puntland nationality?

Does the constitution define citizenship?

I was thinking mayors for Camp Qaloocan, Galaadi and Wardheer (new neighborhoods in Galkayo) since reer Jigjiga is getting a nod. I was thinking more about Xamar really, and how the city's administration can reflect all Somalis.

^lol@Gheelle.T I get that duqa. Nonetheless, it would have been good PR for a larger goal.

There's a decent a population of reer Bay and Bakool, I think they have been represented,

He promised one too many things, let's see what he can deliver. I think the most obvious mistake he made so far is appointing Karaash and Bindhe.

Problems of the privileged.

As my clan is not represented here, we boycott this dawlad kusheeg.

<cite> @Khayr said:</cite> It is a case of the illness called Stockholm syndrome. That doesn't apply here, it's sad nonetheless.

Who died and made the spokesman for 'landers'? It seems you derive perverse pleasure from rapes inflicted on Somali women-sicko.
