Salaam to all of you: my distant-but-blood cousins:
I must start off with little apology to the forum for the fire-cracks I caused in the taming process of that ...boi... whatever...
My meagre-excuses to himself too.
Anyway: I think we need to start thinking critically when it comes to the development of our lands. In this, I must state that truth and only truth holds water. Our problems as a clan strech from Negelle-Borana and Babili to Kismayo as far-Northward as Galgadud and Mudug. There are, at the same time, some other chunks of land that Marehans of antequity inhabit. Marehans are continental.
We share one problem, but one is special for those in Somalia, proper. Those problems must be identified, only then, they can be intervened.
The problem we share is the name: For example, I - a citizen of Ethiopia- wince with pain when I hear Marehans humiliated or killed. And I can't believe when I hear they're killing each other. And the statement that Ethiopia created an enmity in Marehans is a sheer lie. I was in Moyale with UNHCR when the unfortunate inter-clan fighting was taking place. from 1996 - 2005.
The problem that we have wuth which we can never develop is a desease I had coined as
'Tutalei Syndarome.'Tutalei Syndarome is the art of smearing and public lynching -with cheap propoganda- everyone that the state [Reer Diini] deems its enemy in terms of discovering the truth; taking a stand; suggesting a thing; telling the truth; or even dressing nice; and so forth.

Were all either physically or morally lynched by the likes and the kind of Sadeboi and his aunts. Let's first apologize to one another; promise that - No matter what sub-clan, the greatest will lead us-- only then, we can think of development.
Advo. Pls don't delete! It will be tantamount to denial!
