Historic region of Somaliland, in Horn of Africa, has a three principal ancestral lineages. Dhulbahante, Isaaq, and Gadabursi. There is uniformity in culture, and appearance. Due to people movement, urbanisation, and other natural causes, definitions of old lineages are gradually fading. However, significant proportion of provisional people are still in nomadic duration. It’s what is fuelling, survival of old mentality, and it’s cruelly exploited to maximum short term advantage by the social elite.
Isaaq are the most prestigious of all Somali groups. I proudly identify with them, for far too long we have been humble.They are custodians of culture, and language. It’s my life long ambition, that every Somali, in every corner of the land, will compare to the ideal Isaaq. You are either with me or not in that effort.
So called Mogadishu area terrorism are carried out by unknown people, definitely done for scrupulous reasons. It reinforces stereotypes, and societal segregation. It does not concern us. Nonsense of that nature, is totally non-existent in Somaliland. There are good robust explanations.
Communities are organised relatively in smaller units, it’s how the clan system operates. If you step out of line, there will be instant retaliation. Secondly, we have long standing tradition of using a reason, like the British, for solving issues of the day. For that reason, civil war is virtual impossibility. This last info is for the benefit of the wider world.
