Somaliland's greatest threat is internal only ……….. Siilaanyo is a wise man but we need to be careful of Somaliland's 1994 warlords

Somaliland 1994 civil war war-lords= Muse Bixi = axmed mire = Dhagaweyne = ina Kaahin = C/raxman Tolwaa = Jamac yare = ina Buu baa

If we are not careful they will do it again

  Hanna darling other than Kulmiye Party Muj Muse Bihi who's interested in the future Presidency
  elections, none of the other Mujahideen are expected to fill even high ministerial offices. My special respect goes for all but exceptionally Muj Ahmed Mire who after liberating Sanaag just stayed out of the aftermath political rivalries and simply went to spend the rest of his life outside the country he sacrificed so much. I have so much respect for Muj Ahmed Mire.
  Cheers.

Muj Ahmed Mire had a big effect in liberating Burco as well and was the first freedom fighter Commander to enter Burao before the whole country was recaptured by all the other S.N.M. commanders put together. Other than his lower ranks freedom fighters with him he was also
accompanied by an known political Civilian political Agent known as Abokor Afdaleh of Cimran
clan who fought along and was badly injuried. During the agreement deals between Gen'Barre
and Mingiste Hailemariam where Muj Silaanyo and his top Command were taken of guard and
plagued into confusion, it was, I believe, Muj Ahmed Mire and Muj Abokor Afdaleh who took
unilateral suicidal decisions taking off to Burco invasion, which worked and encouraged other
commanders to follow suit in w/Galbeed!!!. Sadly, the Media never mentions these facts.
Cheers.
