@fake name guy,
There is no disunity in Somaliland and inshaa Allah there will never be one. What we do in our country is called political Pickering and is nothing like what they do in other African countries let alone in Somalia. Its more like the political saga between Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Peter Mandelson without the infamous memos.

Abdi and Bedria

I am in the UK, but usually follow politics bak home.I have read with interest what you wrote. Yes, we have made a great leap and inshaAllah we will continue to move forward. Whilst I agree that we need to nurture the growth already achieved, we must equally accept and allow criticism of our failings, or what seems to others as failures. It is only when we are tolerant and acceptable to our own misgivings to be pointed to us, can we really make the fathom steps that our country needs at the moment.

Abdirahman Abdulkadir has the right to speak his mind. You might not agree with his opinions but he must be allowed to air them public without harm or hindrance. Afterall that is the government and country we all want – where everyone is heard.

Some may come with selfish agenda, and try to propagate them. But, we will never knew what the message is if we stop people from making their minds known and rubbish everyone we perceive to be a threat. Further, the fact that someone questions the distribution of resources, is not bad at all. There must be equity in distribution of jobs, and others resources so that no one is left out. Everyone must be included.

I think you are accusing Gaboose wrongly. He wants to be the president, there is nothing wrong with that, and he formed his own party, equally there is nothing wrong with that, too.

I agree with you when you said, “ Our national political parties should never be exclusive to a single tribe or serve single "Beel's" interest, but rather should be inclusive and be underpinned by strong ideological foundations, supported by social justice and equality before the law”. For us to reach that stage, we must first make sure everyone in included and jobs and other amenities are distributed equally amongst our people. If that does not happen, then we will not reach the stage where our politicians do not have the need to defend ‘narrow tribal interests’, as you put it.

Finally, we need to hear from the government and especially the president to respond to the comments raised by the Kulimiye party second in charge, who is number two to him. Silence will not make the issues raised go away.
