[quote="NoAngst."]Somali20003, you're missing the bigger strategic picture. A fissured and fragmented Harti block means less security for constituent blocks, like Warsangelis. It doesn't bode well for Maakhiir state simply because it will arouse latent expansionism in Isaaqs, with Isaaqs now able to prey on Warsans alone and then move on to dhulbahante and then, ominously for a southerner, to Majeerteenia. The greatest threat Northern Darods face is from the Isaaqs 'cause no Hawiye will venture beyond Gaalkacyo not only because it's not traditional Hawiye land (safe for fiqishini) but barren, desolate land resembling the dark side of the moon. No Hawiye will be caught dead there forget fighting for it. So, beware of the many false prophets and wolves that come in sheep's clothing... this Maakhirland is sinister plan to divide and conquer darodia. It was crafted in Mogadisho and Hargeysa by the Irrir union.[/quote]
Ironic that the 'desolate' northeast is in better shape politically, economically than the south with the bountiful rain. Land is never an issue, it's the ingenuity and resourcefulness of people that make or break a society.
