Dhagax-Tuur 6 Posted January 7 " British defense secretary, What is going on?" Quote Hi. I'll hazard a guess. The 'mighty ' Brits who have always thought that Somalia should follow their lead in policy making have found that Somalia and her current leaders are not going to be dictated to. So, they're doing what they do best, divide and conquer. They know that northern enclave will always welcome them and their wicked ways. So that's the game they're playing. If you further proof, listen to the so-called bbc somali, and you can easily deduce from their broadcast that they're pedalling a certain narrative. We shall see.

Dhagax-Tuur 6 Posted January 7 Folks, there you have it! 'Our two countries '. What a piece of xaar the Brits are. But then again the current Tory leadership in the UK are diabolical and shouldn't be taken seriously at all. Particularly, this Williamson trash. This is the defence Secretary that said, when Russia killed their own citizens on their soil, that Russia 'should go away '. What a threat! The UK wouldn't want their own country to break up, Scotland, but they would push to achieve such goals elsewhere in the world. Fact is, they're using this as leverage but it won't change a thing though some dreamers would see it as such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have chosen your vocabulary mindlessly for in the Somali peninsula there is neither any unity to protect nor independence others can remove by conquest.

The UK government gave its Scottish citizens the right to choose their political destiny through a free and fair referendum in front of the whole world. So you are wrong about the Brits again.
