      Fear God brother! Only cowards take shots at the weak and defenseless! As long as these people are in Somaliland, they are our guests and should be treated with the utmost care and respect. Sure some of these people might still secretly hate us for problems of the old days, but many of the new generation are PURE Somalilanders. All these young starving children weren't alive when all the nonsense in Somalia was going on and so we shouldn't punish them for the crimes of others. Let these people grow, live and prosper!

      We have already won our peace and proved our merit over the past 20 years. The South isn't our concern, but the IDPs should be looked after.

    This is well and good but bigger things have yet to happen between all the Somalis in the Horn of
    Africa and the Rich GCC. Somaliland,Djibouti,Puntland,Somalia all must work to improve their
    ideological deep rooted unilateral political relationships in harmony with the Arab Spring changing
    processes etc. These Somalis because of their strategic locations and potentially rich undeveloped
    resources could play an important role between Africa, Middle East,and the World over. Now that the
    Arab League is headed by a more competent leader, The Somalis being a membership of the AL
    the Arabs have a moral legal responsibility to help out the Somalis improvished plight. What Turkey
    is doing is significantly appreciable. Let us await and watch how the stronger World is playing about
    its powers against the poor failed States of the World of Human beings as a whole universal
    gene. The UN should have a more responsible direct role to resolve World Problems in more ways
    deserving universal justices.

    Ina Barre,

    It is in your best interest not to belittlethose Somalis.

    Because outsiders already do that job. They call us the N word,
    Starving monkeys, darkies, Muslim terrorists, and any Islamic,
    African or Somali insult they can hurl at us.

    It is clear you tried to use that refugee comment as an insult.
    But remember, the foreigners already got that job. And it would be
    Much needed for Somalis (wherever they came from) to stop belittling
    Other Somalis. We look like fools.

    If anything, it is you who is a refugee. Those southern somalis may
    Have entered a foreign country but it is a somali country. You are in some
    White country where you are called the N word, and other expletives.

    Like I said, its not in your best interest to belittle these people (the nuance of your writing just says it all)

    When all you master is mischief here you go,you starve your own people and send aid to the people you hate most. Somalis are not for sell-nin soori qaadday waa nin seefi qaadday, they will see it nothing other than ninkaad dili ninkaad dagi,ninkaad dabin u qoolayso waa laysu kala daadiyaa yaanu kaa didine. Charity begins at home if otherwise not a neo-mort corrupt policy why not feed it to those earth pinned poor people at Hargeysa,Burao and Berbera.
