If you are foreign on the other hand it is unbelievably infuriating.
One such classicly sublime hogwash are teh manifestos of somaliland parties and the character `requirements' set by the NEC(in fact by the gurti elders) of teh candidates.
One manifesto taht made laugh out loud was Kulmiye's first promise " To strengthen teh Isalmic Faith". Now this is Silanyo's party, a man who during his student days in manchester built a formidable reputation as one of his university's most able drinkers, womanisers and general party goer. He doesnty look it now but he kept his credibility in teh field while a seniour Minsiter in Siyad's regime: It was not unknown for him to down few cartons of cold in our 12 hour sessions. He was apparently dazzlingly handsome in his youth so girls followed him around all over Hamr.
I know he is more sober nowadays but teh last thing I expect of this swashbuckling drinkermeister is to strengthen Isalm. I think some of his minions might have said " Hey Silanyo this strenthghening Islam chit sounds really god in that one goat town we just passed" and he said "alright... whateve " witha yawn.
Even more laughably the Gurtis require this of all candidates " they must be strong believers in Isalm" now I know some of those guys....and my response is this: You gotta be kidding me
