Coofle.....Understanding a person doesn't put you in the same category. I doubt Ngonge meant you and I are in the same category though I am not sure what are the categories.

Under the 1972 Declaration on the Territorial Sea, the Somali Government does have sovereignty over waters covering 200 nautical miles from the coast but the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) states that a country can exercise sovereignty only 12 nautical miles from the coast. In other words, beyond the 12 miles, people are not subject to Somali law.

Mario..I think he's referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

The law on Somali territorial sea permits 200 nautical miles out into the sea and this is not challenged by any country or international body apart the manufactured dispute with Kenya. What Somalia lacks proper institutions to enforce its sovereignty over these waters. The US District ruling has no bearing on the legality of the Somali sea.

Haatu....You mean he lacks the principles of autonomy?

No!

The list of predictions by XX seem like safe bet and I dare say predictable, his untimely demise however will be unexpected.

Still better than these anecdotes you conjure up, every time your prediction of Iley's demise turns out to be false. As you were...

I predict you will die.

There's no way Qoslaaye will sign off the dismemberment of the country. I am not talking about Somaliland, just in general, what's exactly his Government's program for Xamar and the rest of the country.

All the rants from some groups,aside, there's legitimate questions that need answers.

To me this interpretation/implementation of Federalism is nothing more than a rebranding of the clan divisions. They are almost like miniaturizing a larger problem the nation is facing which is lack of genuine reconciliation and true political settlement. It's creating states that will be dominated by one group with no checks and balances, and that's at odds with every other group. At the core of the Somali problem is the lack of justice, the abuse of power by one group at the expense of the rest, and extreme poverty which makes the government the only source of income. Norf...Somaliland is clan fiefdom, and so is what they are trying to create in the deep south. Mayani....It's case of kuwii xaaraan ku hashiiya xalaal....
