SOMALILAND: Sool elders hold secret meetings with Al Shabab
June 5, 2010 · 75 Comments
MOGADISHU (Somalilandpress) — Members of Dhulbahante’s religious order and elders have been holding a secret meeting organised by Banadir Islamic Society with Al Shabab in Somalia’s capital for the past week.
The meeting which was spearheaded by Sheikh Ali Muhammad Hassan, head of Banadir Islamic Society, took place in Mogadishu and brought together members of Dhulbahante clan from Sool region in Somaliland and senior members of Al Shabab group. The Dhulbahante delegation was led by Mr Ahmed Abdullahi Shanlo, who is an important elder in the tribe and Ali Abdalla Hassan, an intellectual and religious figure.
The group praised al shabab for their holy war in Somalia and said they stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the radical group and their “Islamic agenda” for the region. Mr Shanlo compared their religious war with that one Muhammad Abdullah Hassan (Mad Mullah) has waged against the British, Italians and the Ethiopians at the end of the eighteenth century. Mr Shanlo described the current war Al Shabab is waging as just and holy.
Many believe Muhammad Abdullah Hassan and Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd’Allah (the Mahdi), a Sufi Sheikh of the Samaniyya order in Sudan to have inspired Al qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden. Mohammad Abdullah Hassan received most of his religious training in what is present day Saudi Arabia, where he studied a fundamentalist brand of Islam called Salihiya, a neo-Sufis teachings similar to the Wahhabism. When Muhammad Abdullah returned to Somaliland he created a religious split among the Somalis between Salihiya and pro-Qadiri brotherhood which led to armed confrontations. Mohammad and his darwish (dervish) army were eventually defeated in 1920.
Mr Hassan on his part requested support from al shabab against a recent Ethiopian forces that crossed into the town of Buhodle, the traditional home of Sayid Abdullah.
Ethiopia recently established a military post just in the outskirts of Buhodle that has largely angered the locals. The two sides clashed about two weeks ago when the army seized at least 17 transport vehicles. The Ethiopians have since taken the transport across the border and into the town of Jigjiga (see Hundreds flee their homes in Buhodle).
Sheikh Ali Muhammad Hassan praised the Dhulbahante kinsmen for the recent clash with the Ethiopians in the town that left at least 13 dead and over 30 hurt.
In the end all parties agreed there was need to spread the Quran throughout the region.
The Dhulbahante clans mainly inhabit parts of Sanag and Sool in Somaliland’s eastern regions. The clan is currently divided between pro-Somaliland, Somalia, Puntland and Islamists groups that operate in Somalia’s south.
Al Shabab and some members of the Dhulbahante clan including the SSC who operate under the Northern Somalia Unionist Movement (NSUM) want to spoil the presidential elections in Somaliland by targeting polling stations, transportation and the military personnel in Sool and Sanag regions.
Both Sool and Sanag regions are within Somaliland but small members of the locals want to be part of Mogadishu.

That is funny, Dhulbahante are setting their own houses fire… calling Al-Shabab to Buuhoodle will screw up the civilians in this town and they will die in the streeets similar to what is happening in Mogadishu… My question is do the Dhulbahante failed to fight Somaliland by its own?
do not be an idiot who believes whatever he reads, unless you support you tribe blindly.
This is a fabricated story. it is shame that somaliland media and supporters resort to propaganda in order to discredit SSC leadership.
No one is going to believe this none-sensical story motivated by tribalism and envy.
The world and the rational poeple will laugh at you if you keep writing this baloney.
This is no fabrication its all over the Somali news:
AllMuqdisho from Mogadishu not Somaliland news only.
http://allmuqdisho.com/Somalinews/dhubl_bahatne_i…
let me know if you need more sites and links.
Stop hiding behind and face the reality this is why your people are behind.
It's not all of the Dhulbahante tribe, some of them just want to cause chaos in the region since their region is the least developed and education is very low. They think creating war and chaos is one excuse to hide under for failing to develop their region because every tribe in Somaliland and Somalia developed their own.
Are they expecting "development aid" from Hargeisa or Garowe? hahahahaha
Some of them are happy to send their kids as suicide bombers and its music to al shabaab's ears.
SSC, Al shabaab and ONLF are three animals.
What are you talking about?
Dhulbahante tribe is like any other trip in somaliland and they need peace and development, but few people think the quickest way to get money and power is to join any one regardless of the danger and damage to their people because they do not care the people this called selfifhness, they will learnthe lesson throgh hard way. Ali
the dhulbahante clan are interested to form a coalition with any regional organisation in somalia except for somaliland and thats why all you somalilanders are angry that they insisted to chose another organisation. yes the sool, sanaag and cayn regions where the dhulbahante clan mainly inhabit is one of the poorest regions in somalia but that is not an excuse to why the dhulbanate people want to join alshabab, i mean don't get me wrong i strongly disagree with this decision they have reached. The dhulbahante clan have fought for somalia's independence durning the time of mohammed abdullah hassan where they have lost great blood and sweat and therefore the dhulbahante people just want somalia to stay somalia and they are willing to support anybody who is seeking the same objective.
this is wrong the majority of the dhulbahante clan support one thing and that is for somalia to be just somalia. in fact i have never seen some body from my clan (d hulbahante) suggesting they would advocate for somalilands independence or anything like that. The sool and sanaag case is one of the cases that somaliland wants to keep under the duvet while they show the wolrd how peaceful somaliland is,
It is so strange that Dhulbahante wants to wake up the dead dynasty of the so called DAROOD RULE. Even during it's exisitence Dhulbahant's was the least beneficiary as LasAnod still got the broken hospital bulding left by the Britishers. The first University is now functioning when Somaliland came in and rule of law is in place.Hence,when Dhulbahante will ever give up hate, jealousy and creating a monster enemy called Iiddoor that doesn't exist?,once again Dhulbahante is making historical mistake to a people who might have thier share of wrong doings but never took Dhulbahante as their primary enemies.Fraternity and Brotherhood is surely more productive than fueling enemity war and producing fresh refugees when Somaliland is creating a base for Somalis to grow before extinction.
“…Sool and Sanaag are within Somaliland…”
You are wrong Somalilandpress. Sool and Sanaag are two of the eighteen provinces of Somali Democratic Republic.
Somalia and greater Somalia are different. I do not know why secessionists mix the two. Greater Somalia is land inhabited by Somali race in Horn of Africa and inshalah, it will unite one day.
Somalia on the other hand, is the recognized republic that is part of the UN. It was established by the Somali people who shed their b;lood for their freedom from the British and Italians. Some clan secessionists though are working overtime to destroy what we have sacrificed so much for for their own personal economic and political interests but they will not succeed.
Well! Keep on beating a dead horse [Somali State]; good luck.
( We are not going to browbeat you into joining us.)
WSC,
Hargeisawi in London
Mark my words,
TRIBALISTS WILL BE ROUTED OUT OF SOMALIA'S POLTICAL SCENE.
somaliland has only advocated for whats rightly theirs. sool and sanaag are part of somaliland under the colonial borders. so regardless of the inhabitants living there, it remains part of somaliland. All somaliland has done is to bring peace,economic development and democracy to this regions, so if they instead opt for alshabab and its anarchy rather then the polling stations, then they will be the ones to suffer. somaliland and ethiopia will not allow this terrorists in their land. Furthermore somaliland will then have the support of the international community since we are fighting terrorists on our doorstep. so this so called dhulbahante leaders are commiting political and militeraly suicide you mark my word.
You have a right to secede from the rest of Somalis on clan basis but you cannot on the basis of British protectorate because DHULBAHANTAS are part of that territory too and they don’t want secession.
>but you cannot on the basis of British protectorate because >DHULBAHANTAS are part of that territory…..
This implies you accept the British Protectorate borders, which
would remove a major hurdle (for us) to respect each others views.
Majority of dhulbahantes support Somaliland, support Peace, support Development. There always are the small minority who object, its only natural but nothing major that can't be sorted. And even then they are not opposed to Somaliland independence per se, they just want to be included more, which is understandable. And there always will be the few, extremist fanatics like you.
like it or not, Dhulbahante tribe will not allow Somalia to be seperated, even those who now support SL don't belive in SL to be a country. And this baseless report will only complicate SL's interests in the country and abroad!
Whoever wants to join any terror group like al-shetan, can do so but, they have to know joining these groups will bring nothing but distractions to their people. Because, these terror groups do not believe in peace anywhere in the world, and they are against Islam teaching and of course against Somali culture, so any groups that support them are doomed to fail.
unfortunately the rest of the country is busy for the preparation of free and fair elections, and the other hand small group of peace-haters are developing ties with terrorist groups in the horn of africa,, i congratulate some of buuhoodle elders who send a message to other elders that support the hate groups in sool, and requested from them to leave buuhodle region immediately.
Dhulbahante brothers and sisters, a genocide is about to be
committed on your people. The "traditional" home of Sayid
Muhammad Abdullah Hassan and its "surrounding areas"
will soon be destroyed. Is that what you all want?? ?
Leaders of the Dhulbahante people you have a moral obligation
to lead your people on to the right path. The other clans of
Somaliland are not your enemy, No clan has enslaved the
Dhulbahante and you are part of Somaliland, and it (all clans)
has offered Peace.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

OK Dhulbanabnte, I am a Somalilander I live in these regions that you are claiming. I have cousins from your tripe (don't want to fight them) I am armed to teeth and I ain't going no where. here are your joices peice or move to Somalila.
I think your brain is connected to your shithole.
Why people not thinking right???
Hey guys You mix up two things… Dhulbahante claim Sanaag region but they even don't have one district… I have never seen some one who has power in Sanaag …. Hey Dhulbahante or Warsangali what so ever.!!!…. You have moved from Sanaag 20 years ago with Siyaad Bare regime . now You can only back with another regime lolz…. You will be with us or against us… Clear!!!
why is it that somaliland is claiming the regions of the dhulbahante clan, i mean you never see the dhulbahante people saying hargeysa or berbera is ours and where going to take them no matter what you say, becuase the dhulbahante people respect these areas becuase it belongs to the other somali brothers. somaliland does not own the these disputed regions and is haram that they are giving their somali brothers an ultimatuim. frankly i don't think somaliland would ever get a recognition let alone independece. this issue is distroying somaliland's reputation if it ever had one, so somaliland should just stop being to ambitious.
all
It is not about ambition it is about principle. When Somaliland declared independence Sool and Sanaag elders were part of that and they agreed with that. They are not opposed to being part of a peaceful, developing Somaliland. They are merely disillusioned and want greater political involvement within Somaliland. This is their cry for help and attention.
hi folks whats all these bullshits re sool sanaag cayn regions? before committing into discussions, lets pause and ask ourselves who else – other than harti somalilanders – shares ssc regions as indigenous clans?
the big obvious answer is: Isaaq tribes, comprises of: Bahwaynta Habar Yonis, Bahwaynta Habar Jeclo, and insignificant number of Hawiye descent.
The real truth is, if consenus of inhabitants is conducted, the harti ssc landers
will fall intp minority category. The SSC regions are multi indigenous clan regions and therefore can not be claimed by minority harti landers as their sole
owe-regions. Beware and behold. And stop all these bullshits concerning ssc
hi folks whats all these re sool sanaag cayn regions? before committing into discussions, lets pause and ask ourselves who else – other than harti somalilanders – shares ssc regions as indigeous
hi folks whats all these bullshits re sool sanaag cayn regions? before committing into discussions, lets pause and ask ourselves who else – other than harti somalilanders – shares ssc regions as indigenus clans?
these regions are also inhabited by bahwaynta Habar yonis< bahwaynta Habar Jeclo plus insignificant number of Hawiye Clan. If consenus is conducted of
ssc regions, The harti clans will form as minorities. Therefore, ssc majorities
(the big Elephants in ssc) must not be infuriated into unnecessary warmongering situations.
SSC regions are shared by multi indigenous clans viz bahwaynta habar yonis,
bahwaynta habar jeclo, insignificant hawiye clan. The ssc Isaaq clans form the
majority whilst Harti clans fall into the minority platform. With this mindset
I see no real common sense to argue on this purely ssc somalilanders
territory. moreover, for as long as 1991 Burco treaty is there in the record books
of history, those harti dissidents trying to undermine Somaliland will not gain
detrimental momentum. All said and done, period.
They can join all the terrorists they like its clear some of the dhulbahantes think democracy is Western institution and this is the reason why their towns have no education institutions the last time the Kenyan deputy Parliament speaker went there he was shocked. He personally gave ten kids scholarships.
They will never get civilized and be nomads forever…now also its clear why SSC militia are all nomadic men collected from their villages.
They inhabit parts of Sool (Las anod, widhwidh and bocame) not Caynabo etc.
In Sanag they dont live in one town, name any if you can.
The largest city in Sanag is Erigavo and we all know who runs Erigavo, so if your nomads and take your camels for grassing those regions dont mean it belong to you.
It's like Ogadens who move their camels across three international borders (Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia) and think it's their land. Dhulbahante and Ogadens go wherever the rain goes.
Take Ogaden, and any other wise clan out of your mouth and learn to respect your brethren before you criticize. Are you not aware how badly us as Somalis were betrayed when we were cut up and conquered by colonial powers (Britain, Italy,USA etc) that you would so happily snuggle up with and plan our demise? How dare you stick your nose up to other brothers like that? whats an education in Somalia worth if your blood brother is sending enemies for you? Id rather stick to mu real culture and deen.
I don't care where your from but your post shows to me your lack of deen plus understanding when it comes to your own history. So your either:
1. An unworthy borderline kaffir Somali who is taking money to make reports.
2. You or your family is a victim of the past and you still harbor resentment towards the south.
3. Your angered by how strong the popular movement is. ; )
p.s. You can't be a Somali if your not a nomad, we're never going to change and so we are the noble and proud.
Ok Mr Ogaden like anyone would take a nomad serious.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
lol, A nomad takes only what he needs to get by with, so his word is very reliable, take your habashi bottom loving self and go cuddle up with Zenawi.
Somalilanders have been too kind to Dhulbahante. First they supported the Mad Mullah, who raged war in Somaliland for 21 years. One third or 33% of the Somaliland population vanished. However, the mad Mullah was defeated at last by Major Haji Musse and his army, Dhulbahante was forgiven. No revenge took place, and they were absorbed into the main stream. Again Dhulbahante assisted and cooperated with the ruthless somali dictator, general Barre. They made largest percent of th NNS and Hangish officers( the notorious secret service) of General Barre. Every somali knows, how they effectively took part in the attrocities that took place in Somaliland and in Mogadisho. Yet Dhulbahante was forgiven, and their towns and territory were never revenged by Somalilanders. They gave us their aoth to be establish Somaliland repuplic.
Now they are setting up a rebel against Somaliland. What kind of people are they. Ignorance is not an excuse to commit crimes. I do not believe this time, Dhulbahante should be forgiven. They are sadist, who obey, when they get beaten up.
It's not all dhulbahante, take it easy its just small minority fighting their own dhulbahante. Somaliland army in Sool is all dhulbahante. uu kala dhax bax. They have all that Naleye vs hagar bla bla thing.
"However, the mad Mullah was defeated at last by Major Haji Musse and his army, Dhulbahante was forgiven"
oh yeah, Major Haji Musse had the fighter jets that bombarded Taleex fortress.
What have you been smoking my friend, you do not make any sense. Read some real history books, then come here.
you are right
shabaab leader..i godane heal from isaaqland
we (Habaryoonis Somalilanders are the owners, and we both know that.
hi folks whats all these bull**** re sool sanaag cayn regions? before committing into discussions, lets pause and ask ourselves who else – other than harti Somalilanders – shares ssc regions as indigenous
'Cayn' region doesnt exit – speak of Sool and Sanaag. Cayn is silly thing invented by puntland, look at their map and see how small their 'Cayn' 'region' is. Its a joke .
We habaryoonis Somalilanders are the owners, and we both know that.
A man who is not satiesfied with a little, will be satiesfied with nothing.
therefore , be careful what you preach
so, few guys who are unelected by SSC leadership represent dhulbahante?
Give me one Garaad who participated in that alleged meeting.
I tell you how many Isaaq individuals who make up the leadership of AlShabaab, begining witih AHMED ABDI GODANE, IBRAAHIM ZAYLICI (Ibraahim-Afgaan), Siciid Axmed Jaar, Maxamed Maxamuud Nuur(faruur), Aadan Xoosh, Saleebaan Suudi Carraale(in Guantanamo), Sh.Cabdiqani Aw Saalax, Xuseen Al-Xusayni, Cabdiraxmaan Xagar, Ibraahim Xaaji Jaamac Meecaad, Cabdilaahi Gaab, Maxamed Cilmi Samatar, and many more.
These indiviuals are all Isaaq tribe. So, if apply your twisted logic here, they represent isaaq, therefore isaaq supports terrorism.
Give me one dhulbahante in the leadership of Alshabaab?
Yes those people do exist but they not calling for Isaaqs to join them to fight Somaliland etc. These dhulbahante dont want democracy and rule of law, the whole SSC is al shabab wing.
Unlike those isaaqs who fled from us because we will put them in prison. The rightful for dhulbahante to do is capture all SSC terrorists and hand them over to the regime if not then your habouring terrorists.
See those isaaqs you named are on the run from Isaaqs. Dhulbahante terrorists are hiding inside Sool and Buhodle.
Keep defending the terrorists they been busted and no point crying, just give up on the SSC and join the democracy or face the music.
Maybe so they are isaaq but certainly they are not Somalilanders they are delutional figures who believe in Greater Somalia like all the other terrorists.
The difference between them and dhulbahante is that those isaaq men said they are al shabab but dhulbahante is still hiding.
SSC is just a new terrorist name for al shabab.
Those men might belong to the Isaaq clan however the truth is al shabab terrorists have fighters and leaders from all Somali clans but you dont see isaaq elders calling al shabaab to fight Somaliland forces or Ethiopia.
Dhulbahante elders speak for the entire dhulbahante, those isaaq men speak for themselves and even their own families have disowned them.
Why is Dhulbahante against democracy? No Somali clan has gone as far as isaaq when it comes to democracy look at our campaigns while you fight over villages.
Those men you named might belong to isaac tribe but the truth is al shabab fighters contain all Somali tribes however no tribe elders support al shabab including the host (Hawiye).
It seems dhulbahante have gone further by alleying themselves with the terrorist.
No Isaac elder is calling for Al shabab to fight Somaliland or Ethiopia.
The problem with the dhulbahante is their diaspora, who are financing and inciting violence thru the media. They are full of hatred , they see everything along tribal line , they see Issaq as their eternel enemies and they associate s/l with the issaq tribe and they can't stand the progress we have made, they do everything to sabotage us. On the on the other hand the dhulbahante in s/l are mostly needy people who have not accomplished much for the last 20 years and are willing to live in peace with their fellow s/landers, they are participating enthusiastically in the election compain . So let me give an advice to this hate mongering, envious, welfare collecting men and women in their diaspora: You will serve better your people by building school, roads, hospital…. instead of buying arms and please tell mr sabarey and xaglatosiye the 2 warlords you sent that the USA is no longer a safe heaven for criminals.Once you set foot in the usa and canada you will have to pay for the crimes you are committing just like Mr Ali Samatar is.
Wa xaasidin and thats why they are where they are. No even schools in Sool. The most poorest region in the entire Somali world.
Anyways this is dhulbahante civil war but the fact that they are fighting inside Somaliland is worrying.
The traditional leaders of Dhulbahante have now two main factions pro-alshabab led by Garaad Jama Garaad Ali, Dr Saleban and the others, while the other side led by Garaad Abdulahi Soofe and Garaad Suleymaan Burale want peaceful resolution.
The SSC militia almost killed the peaceful religious men of Buhodle last week.
iyaga uun ba is jidjidanaya and they wanna drag others into their divisions and mess.
Sland has to say no thanks and must not even talk to them.
A section of traditional elders from Somali border town of Buhodle have denounced the presence of some elders and politicians in the region, accusing them of instigating violence, Radio Garowe reports.

You ignorant people; Who are the leaders of Alshabbaab Saylici co and from Somaliland please stop your ignorance.
Traitors you people disgust me walaahi. Mohamed Abdullah Hassan was no Mad Man. He was a real hero of Somaliland he was fighting against clonism and you call him (Mad Mullah) if he was any other tribe you would be worshipping him today. Just ask Hadrawi and he would tell you Sayid Mohamed was a real hero.
why don't these thivk headed isaaq people just stay where they belong and just stop saying that sool, sanaag and cayn belongs to them
Daaq iyo Somalinimo ayaad ku soo gashay dalkayaga. Edeb iyo asluub haddii aanad ku joogayn. Gooso oo dhaaf xuduudka.
What I can learn from here is that there is real trouble ahead. Alshabaab is cheating people by using the holly Quran as pretext and they are incrassating their territories and wining heart and minds of people while we are divided along tribal line and nonsense borders created by our enemies. To be honest this will only give golden opportunity to terrorist groups. For those of you who are S.LAND WORSHIPERS, I advice you not to be fool to hate your own identity, forget the past and let us unite our country to fight terror.
That is why international community always worry recognizing Somaliland would open new problems like clan fighting and once again people will lost another 30 years as they already did. People can accuse anything they want with others whoo may disagreed with them.
I think we all need to get real because labelling terrorrist those who disagreed with you won't do anything accept little support from Etho since the rest of the world now understand people where misleading world leader by labelling terrrorrist their opposed. Even if two neighbors get into argument, they would use Mr.Bush's language like you are wiht us or agaist us;therefore, you Somalilanders are doing the same and I don't think it will do any good for your country by calling terrorrism where its political disagreement between your people. You may need talk to one another to resolve problems because using these terms you damaging yourselves. Beside, don't forget Amarica is leading by Mr. Obama not Mr. Bush.
This is not good news.
As we know Somaliland, Putland and Ethi.. all have a good relationship, so if you are not supporting this policy, thus you are ….?
what ever you dream somaliland will never ending. but know one thing dhulbahante will never satisfied, siyad bare even hasn't satified the dream of greater somali so how come dhulbahante will bring that. look my brothers sool sanaag and cayn. isaaq tried before even bare.
none of us achieve this dream and now we decide to take our region somaliland and declared independence 26 june 1960 to bring it back. jabuuti is not interesting kenya and ethiopia are against this idea so today we are too against this idea. you people accept or not you will be our under administration and you will always be somaliland. never mix two diferent things greater somali is contain all the people who speak somali that is incluuding somaliland djibouti somalia NFD and westen somali region. that is dificult to bring it back why we rest of somalis are not interested that idea. that are somaliland djibouti NFD and western somali region. so somalia will be back off no matter how they dream. but you really need to know somalia is only starting from bosaso to raaskaanbooni. so it is meaning you are talking about that bit. but sorry this is nothing to do with us we are called somaliland so never mixed up somalia and greater somali.
we somalilanders are only one part of the greater somali. not somalia. so never confuse your self something that will never happening.
somalia is nothing to do with you and you cannot force our people as you are not talking much about others. alshabaab s terorist group. i am sure not only isaaq is in alshabaab also there are lots of your people are joint this group. so many dhulbahante and wersangeli. so it is part of your groum nsum and the millitias groups named them self ssc are not stand up for somaliland and they are not represen as.
udub loo bogay
If they love Somalia so much let them move there
If you hate Somalia, why don't you move out??? SOMALIA Somali baa leh!
History repeat itself, Sayid Maxammed Cabdille Xasen said “Naarquutayaashiyo kufrigaad daba nashlaysaane, nacalluhu kuwuu fuulaybaad nibiya moodeene, war malaha naagbaw ahaydeen kufriga NADHASHTA weynaaye”!!!!
Somaliland, Puntland, TFG are all concubines of….. They obey well, feel jealous each other, what a genius xabashi leader, never seen before in the history!!!!!!!!
hmmm, dhulbahate shooting its leg.
It sad to hear that some members of the Dhulbahante clan have chosen to associate with Al-shabaab. What a mistake! These groups are looking for their tribes destruction and dismay. Among all groups, choosing to join a terror group like Al-Shabaab has absolutely ended any relationships that may have existed between these mindless groups and the people of Somaliland. Anyone, group or groups who behaved, behaves, or will behave like these bucket heads must be confronted immediately and fought against them mercilessly. They are a natural born stupids and they must be eliminated from the society.
Couldn't agree more, Marwo!
Com on guys, you don't disgrace the whole clan. Please don't do that. Dhulbahante will never accept Al-shaydan to came to their state. You know Dhulbahante fought for the freedom of Somalia and Somalis but not for religious reasons. So don't worry even if Dhulbahante insists to not recognize somaliland's indepdence because they have the right to deny has Isaaqs have the right refuse somali weyn. You can't force clan that has larger land than you do. in fact, Dhulbahante is very small subclan of harti darood and has more land than than Isaaq. My advice is not disgrace the wonderful people of Dhulbahante, ISaaq and other clans. Politics is politics. but foresure there are blood suckers, moryanis, theives, gaalos, and corrupted politicians in every clan and Dhulbahante is not exception. YOu want to know why Dhulbahante land is the least developed? because they don't have sea. Their captial, Las'anod is land locked region. They waited for the United Somalia and avoided civil war. Now they realized they have to build their own administration, the SSC which is headed by another corrupted foreign funded morans
They have their right to divide their LAND from ethiopia and its daba dhilif.
Just three corrections:
1. All Dhulbahante do not support SSC terror group, just a handful do.
2. We hear you talk about the Darawish, it is funny to forget that the leaders of the drawish were of Isaaq decent & those who defeated them were Isaaq. If you want to go the same route as the Darawish- Good luck
3. Let us not forget that Dhulbahante is minority not only in Somaliland, but in Sool, Sanaag and Cayn. What places can they claim besides half of Buhodle town and half of Las Anood.
