Somaliland is doing more harm to its quest for independence by engaging in this war. If dhulbahante said we do not want to be part of SL, muse biihi should have withdrawn. That was the right thing to do.bingo, not a single person from the opposing side has put this option on the table. Infact the real reason behind this conflict is to stop Somalilands aspiration to separate from Somalia by removing las anood. This would make the case so much harder as we don’t have the original British Somaliland borders. However if it was a matter of let us separate and you separate too, that’s a fair option.It's a war, there are going to be casualties, civilians and soldiers. There are also going to be prisoners of war.
Killing each other for no reason is not the answer. Surely, landers can respect the will of the dhulbahante people. They clearly do not want to be part of your project, the same you guys do not want to be part of whatever koonfur Somalia is selling. You can't have it both ways landers, pick a side. If you want to break away, break away with isaq lands only, if not, stay in the union and save yourselves the stress.
Besides, why would SL engage in a war if the war will not lead to a swift victory in its favor? Somali people fight in wars for the sake of it. The more this drags on, the more attention it attracts, and that won't be a positive attention either.
as for the dhulbahante, they have as much rights as isaq does, to be the ones to decide their fate.
Basically, the solution lies in a dialogue for all parties involved, both for SSC vs SL, and SL vs Somalia.
Being pragmatic and thinking long term and keeping cadiifad out of it is good for everyone.
reer hebel vs reer hebel wars are literally useless in every way you look at it in 2023.
and i didn't even mention how bad it is to kill muslim people, specially in the holy month of ramadan.
