You just don't want to hear that side of the argument. Why don't you to try answer it? It will prove how foolish the ssc position is I bet. It will keep coming up again and again.

ElPunto Posted May 29, 2011 First off - so long as Somalia is in the state that it is in - there is nothing to talk about for either side. But I'm delighted to see some folks are willing to at least talk about non-secessionist alternative once Somalia gets its act together. Second - there is a big difference between the TFG strategy vs Somaliland and Somaliland's strategy vs SSC. One is just empty talk and idle threats and the other is actual military action against civilian populations. The two cannot be compared. I think most Somalis wouldn't have a problem with secession for the core area in Somaliland provided other regions were given a chance to join the union. But most die hard Somalilanders won't accept anything less than the borders of British Somaliland regardless of the wishes of certain populations. That is also another telling difference. All in all - whatever happens in Somalia - there won't be a return to strong centralized rule that usurps power to Mogadishu. In my opinion - that was a key motivation behind the secession entreprise. A motivation which seems moot given the political realities in Somalia today. The question going forward is how to ensure responsible and representative regional governments that work to strengthen the country as a whole.
