Isaaq are too small in populaation to divide themselves by subclans. The whole Somaliland thing is built on isaaq grievance and anti faqash propoganda, once you guys divide each other by subclans, the whole Somaliland project is finished
Isaaq is 4/5 times the size of darod- if you pick up all darod and placed them into one place they wouldn’t fill half of burco. Bosaso is the largest darod only city and it has the same population as gabilay, a city settled by sub sub clan of sacad muse.
Sxb first of all isaaq clans are actually related unlike your darod clans, there is a reason ciidagale and hy have very similar a torso but supposed harti brothers such as all have different levels of abtrisi and different number of generations when you count up, this is impossible if you claim to be sibling clans. You darods are small unrelated tribes that are completely unrelated and share no blood, only thing that United you is bigger groups such as isaaq and hawiye surrounding you on the sides, this is why your supposedly closest brothers the dhulbahante joined the mareexan regime in trying to wipe you out in the 80s, and why since 1991 mj has been trying to take dhulo land.
Isaaq is not a tribe but related clans, they can fight each other but will never do to each other anything that seriously harms any brother.
Somaliland is built on the interest of all northern Somalis, it’s why your dhulo brothers joined, they say they wouldn’t get anything in garowe let alone Mogadishu. It’s the same reason samaroon has never spoke out against SL. SL is also a densly populated region which means people have to live together, you can’t compare it to the least populated region in the horn which is puntland, there is a reason garowe/bosaso have small populations - it’s the same reason you don’t see many trees in bari and nugaal lol.
How are Isaaq anymore related than darood? DNA evidence would suggest otherwise.
There is a reason why darood operate at subclan level because large populations have diverging interests and eventually each clans goes their own way because they can stand on their own. MJ, MX and OG stand on their own and each have their own spheres of influence.
Isaaq is small relative to hawiye and darood, the small dhulbahante were historically your biggest rivals let alone Darod. There is a reason why you were grouped with Dir in 4.5. Harti is probably equal to Isaaq forget the rest of darod.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe population size means anything if your people and political class are useless.
Don’t let the khanis OD confuse you about dhullos, the most anti somaliland diaspora are dhulbahante. They even hired a lobbying firm to fight somaliland ictiraaf in the US. The biggest cbb outside of marexaan were and are dhulbahante. You’ve paid some of them off just like we do, but in the end, mercenaries will go to the highest bidder.
Reer awadal are no different, the first chance they get and if there is a serious government in Mogadishu, they would leave. Somaliland is held together by Isaaq grievance, it will never be its own country. The formation of Puntland has effectively killed any chance of recognition for Somaliland. Where I agree with you guys is Somalia will never go back to a unitary state. The best case scenario is a confederation type of system, otherwise, the status quo works for PL where we have autonomy to do our thing and we get to eat from the FGS.
