You seem to have good intentions so I will give u the benefit of the doubt. However, u shouldnt make excuses for filthy war criminals like morgan and turki. Thats all.

First, sorry if I somehow or someway offended you, I swear to Allah that was not my intentions. Moreover, as I said before, I will be happy and support whatever decision comes from Somaliland – and, even though I know I could get some anger from some of my brothers/sisters from the south – nevertheless, I decided to do that (and I am proud of it) just to protect Somali Landers’ right to decide whatever they wanted.

Furthermore, if Somali Landers settled-down their differences better than we southern Somalis did, I do not think it is a bad thing – actually, it is a blessing, and for whatever is worth – on behalf of southern Somalis, I will thank you for hosting our brothers/sisters after the filthy Ethiopian army’s invasion.

OTOH, before such thing as Somaliland or Somalia south existed, we were all Somalis –and, there were days that we Somalis were united on one common goal – to kick the colonialists’ a** out of Somalia, our great grandparents and grandparents sacrificed their precious lives to achieve that. Please, let us not forget that and make their death in vain.

Furthermore, the colonialists knew that they will be the ones who was going to have the last laugh at the end, even if our grandparents finally managed to kick their a**es in the twentieth century. The fictitious borders that they imposed on us before they left were specifically designed for this very purpose. Every time that we argue on, let alone when we take guns against each other to enforce these borders, (which, btw, were sketched on the sand at the beginning) its architects’ laugh on us from their graves – is that for what our grandparents really died? I do not think so!

As far as us southern Somalis attacking Somaliland or Somaliland’s army defending the land concerned, for the record, I am against any type of violence regardless who is doing it, on whom he is doing it, and/or why he is doing it. I also think violence creates only more violence – which then creates more violence – a violence that only makes wealthier those who put us in these mess in the first place – our real enemies. In addition, I believe that being against wars is not enough at all – unless we first believe in and promote peace among us.

As far as our discussion is being over concerned, it is fine with me – even though I still think that what was going on between you and I was something really good – and worthy of the efforts we put it in. Nevertheless, know this; if you change your mind, I will be more than happy to continue our discussion. If not, best wishes to you, bro!

As far as Somali script concerned, I was referring only to MR. Barre’s action, and not the guy who came-up with it – but hey thanks; I learned something from you! 

this is to jog your memory mcayrow… tribes dont have migs my friend

I was not comparing India to Somalia or vice versa – but I was merely comparing just the actions. Moreover, India’s culture is just different and not better or worse than our culture is – and btw, it is up to us how well we promote and sell to the others our culture.

What the westerns say about our culture is utterly wrong – because, there is no way that our great grandfathers or even our grandfathers did not do anything to fix it – if they did not fixed it – it only means that it was good as it is and there was no need to fix it. We (Somalis) need to remember that.

Now, back to the stupid tribe rivalry thing, I believe that all our tribes (including yours and mine) are either all good or they all suck; I am putting my money on – they all suck and a big time. As I said before, as it is, we are all fucked-up – now, the question is – do we have any hope? Yes, but only if we accept each other as we are, forgive what happened yesterday, and tried to move on.

As far as Morgan, Turki and those like them concerned, they are almost in every tribe – and, since, what happened between us was a civil war, we cannot go after only specific ones and let the others off the hook – that would be injustice, and would not do any good to those who lost their lives. However, if we go after all of them, then that would only mean the continuation of the civil war, which, then leads us to more loss of Somali lives.

Look my dear brother, we no longer afford to waste our time on focusing what an individual did or did not in the course of our civil war – because, one way or the other we all participated to some extent in this mess. Instead, we need to concentrate our energies and time how to prevent it form happening again.

On the other hand, I agree with you that we have plenty of people who committed as you said it “a war crime”. Nevertheless, we need to quit, once for all, militant mentalities and focus on how we could improve the lives of all Somalis wherever they are – and, the best way to do all of this is to think positively, brother.

Ps: Foreign advisers advised to MR. Barre to make Somali script the official government language and it was not something that came from him, as some people would like to us to believe.
