This has some local support,  I have seen similar issues,  hatred and jealousy of people from South, who really work hard and will do any job,  became relatively successful.

True. Which is why Somaliland cannot really function as a state until the concept of citizenship is a real thing. If you invest and build a company then the security of that company will depend on your connections and clan affiliation and not on the rule of law. This is one of the biggest hurdles facing Somaliland and it will not be an easy one to overcome. As for Somalia, well it has similar problems as well as terrorism.

Not very bright thing to advocate for or say. Sometimes, it's better to shut up.

In many ways Laascaanood has became a small moqdisho. There are small warlords and clan Malesia in bed with Somaliland. Their bigger goals is the control of city and the region. They also have support from geopolitical actors. The majority of the people who lived and worked in laascaanood are not from south west somalia. The south west business people are expert in retail business, specially selling cloth and shoes.  Lascanod had the largest Bantu population in the region after Gaalkacayo. They had a lot of shops and making all kind of home made product. They are also high skilled builders. The Bantu population are high spenders, the restrounts and tea shops dependent on them. Local people do not have these skills and if they do, they are very expensive. Now they are talking about replacing the Bantu population  and export SNM people. Liberating Laascaanod is important never before to restore Somalia back

Xaaji, maybe you forgot that there is a significant number of your kind living in South-West regions who have been there for decades and even centuries. And how about those in Jabuuti, Jig Jiga, Janaame and Garissa? Do you want them all to be deported back to their native land as well?

^ This has nothing with security,  it is about business and competition,  the whole economy of Sool and Sanaag will collapse,  if they lose these people.

That's the point. He wants his little corner fenced, and hoping Somalis will embark on the route.

Ah, we miss former prime minister Khayre and his eloquent way of speaking. 

Aaryaa noo soo celiya Khayre. Ninkaas waanu ku gafnay hadaanu nahay dadkii taagersanaa Farmaajo.

Since the day Khayre left , the country was in a mess.

That is so true. DEspite our early pronouncements putting blames or exonerating the people of laascaanood, the fact can't be burred or overlooked. This move from Hargeisa couldn't have taken place without the support of certain segments of the city.

As the population grows, the power of the local clan diminishes. THere are also other social issues that affects clans and their lazy men who never worked a day. These Somalis from the south west are also marrying local girls with the blessing of the fathers. Since these young men do not chew Qat and work hard, everyone would  like to welcome them.  I would have given my Daugherty to them than the lazy fake graduate sipping tea all day and doing nothing.

 In Hargeisa some barber shop owners complained about the Oromo taking their jobs and dominating the business, but these days they can not deport the Oromo since they are the ruling class in Ethiopia. The Geeljire will always step on those who are weak.

In Puntland government condemned and shot a dozen or more Al-shabaab killers who murdered people in Gaalhacayo for almost ten years. Among those condemned, there were no one from south west. Another group were found guilty this week in Puntland, and most of them were from Dayniile, Mogadishu, Galdogob and Puntland. Again , no one from south west. These people do not endanger their communities by killing locals. This is not Mogadishu.

Someone told me about a man who rode a Landcruiser from Hargeisa. He was from the Graad community heading to Garoowe. The merecenary members of Laascaanood were looking to get him and one of their spies in Hargeisa sent a ward that he was ridding in the front passenger side of the car. Somehow, along the way he exchanged the seat with someone else and sat at the back. 

As soon as the car reached one of the check points in Laascaanood, the man sitting at the front was asked to get out of the car and sprayed with bullets without any question. THe man they killed happened to be from Puntland. Folks, this is the Laascaanood militia in a nutshell

I have been to La and also Erigavo,  and Badhan and felt local sentiments,  definitely can not be overlooked. 

These people are dominating middle to low level businesses

My late mother's old friend for decades since 1960s is what we Afmaay speakers call Reer Geegii Mariidi (meaning Reer Waayo Waayo). Her father and his relatives settled in Waajid, Bakool, oo wuxuu ka soo cararay dagaaladii Daraawiishta, long before Abaartii Dabadheer kuwa soo degay Koonfur Galbeed. This lady, who used to be a xildhibaan until 2017, Waqooyi Galbeed waxba kama taqaano oo Waajid ayee ku dhalatay and speaks pure Afmaay than Afmaxaa. She is Muuse Muqayil's jufadiisa sidaa maqlay.

My late father's old ganacsade friend from 1940s was also another transplanted Reer Waqooyi whose family came to Xuddur, Bakool, area as well. Again dad ka soo qaxay dagaaladii Sayidka iyo Ingiriiska ahaayeen.
