Somaliland why i cant support it

[Galmeygaag]

1. they are willing to spill their own blood and blood of neighbours to reestablish colonial borders.

2. the name Somaliland itself pertained to the colonist and does not represent autonomy.

3. "Land" who can be Somali and want an English word in their supposed country's name ? again this is unacceptable to my common sense as it is undignifying.



then there is also reason for devision, this can be discussed over and again but we all agree on 1 fact. since 1988 the relationship between Somaliland(formely known as SNM) and ETHIOPIA has been pivotal to the destruction of statehood in Somalia and is based on mutual hostility towards a Somaliweyn.
the arguement of atrocities commited by a previous government of Somalia of which current leaders of SL were part of has unfortunately been used to smoke screen all this, and also as a political tool to gain support. but i will not counter argue this as personally i feel it is inappropriate as it will focus on politics and disregard the loss of Somali life.


other than that, i totally support the people of the region, the SL are just there but in actuality it is the people who made peace possible.

Ogaden is a Somali name, its not Ogaden-Land is it ? and why are you comparing yourself to people who are still under occupation anyway?
Somaliland choose to go back and call themselves something that they were tagged during colonial times, atleast call the region Adal or something else dignifying to the people.

changing the name is a major positive step.

The region with in Ethiopia was named by the English as ogaden, The Somaliland Protectorate was named by the British As The protectorate of British Somaliland , There is no difference , the place was called ardu al somaal before , you translate it . it becomes the rep of Somaliland, I don’t see any problem with the Name of Somaliland.
