Mintid....The very foundation of Sland is based on tribal struggle-this simple fact alone discredits Sland from preaching to others about unity or deception. It is worthy noting no one else in the North sign up to the struggle waged by SNM.Now if you have us believe the struggle was for the betterment of all Somalis, the end result created an enclave that wants to create two separate homelands for the same nation which is hardly something anyone believing unity would do.When your actions institutionalize disunity, I don't think you are no position to criticize others. I think it's more sincere if you just say, this is what I want rather than crying about not having a shot at the presidency in Villa Somalia. Oodka.....I only have question, why is it everyone that believes Somali(land) unity happens to be from those that benefit from it?

Your assertions talk to the character of the Somalis in the south, my question is how are you any different? You can't argue there's no Somali unity but turn around say, there's some Somali unity or my version is better!

For we have seen the light and saw that there is no such thing call "Somali Unity". . There's no Somali unity but you believe there's unity among northern Somali. You accuse people hoodwinking others into unity, how's your project any different?

Dear Juxa, we welcome Safferz with open arms even though she already diss our beloved Beantown.

That's interesting.

Xenophobes who skip around the world with passports from another countries *shakes head*

Any future Somali State should encourage immigration and promote multiculturalism.

Good thing!

lol@ethnic Somalilanders, Xaaji I thought this silly thing.

lool@spiritual, you are funny.

Gheelle.T I think Faroole is genius, getting money to setup security force in order to fight a crime you yourself have been accused of.

Mintid....You chose the wrong issue to pick a fight with Xiin. Being from Somalia, I don't think anyone is worried about image problem or world even cares! I

Meeshaan filin naloo jilooyaa.

Xaaji....You are missing the point. The thing is we have secessionists glorifying the success of Somaliland (which is good thing if it's done in earnest) but then turn around and air incessantly all that's wrong with Somalia (which the world knows) or regions within Somalia, sadly little to show for their actions. Mintid....You are again not presenting anything new.

Xiin...The problem with the secessionists is that they can't decide if they are their own country or simply another tribal state within Somalia. Mintid...Everybody knows including people you want to give some reality check. Even Faroole made an appeal to the world in order to fight piracy.

Of course this something we Somalis knew all along. You made an assertion here. Defend it or be on your way.

^Dear boy, countries send their navies to fight piracy off coast of Puntland and shipping companies pay higher insurance premiums because of piracy emanating from Puntland. Again, tell us something world doesn't know!

^The world has always been aware, it's you who thinks they are not. How does all this matter anyway?

The only difference is you won't get blown up in Hargeisa while sipping a cappucino. You are measuring yourself against a war-torn city which might soon left you in the dust should peace takes hold and money keeps pouring not in the international recognition and diaspora. Hargeysa has been peaceful for 20 yrs, surely it should be light years ahead of Mogadishu?

How's being positive working out for Somaliland?

^Is it me or the pictures seem to be from the same location just different angles.

Give it few weeks, the more things change in Somalia, the more it stays the same. The only thing they will get Ethios packing is serious unrest in their country.

Alps? Seriously?
