r/Somalilanders

Asc 🫡

Not a post to divide as this post is intended for those who self-identify as a Somalilander. I was not able to get every clan as there are 6 places max but if you don’t see representation just comment other and if you would like to share your clan that is on your own accord but not compulsory. This post will help me in my research and also help members of this room know the room as SL gets viewed as IsaaqLand by non Landers and sometimes even amongst some Isaaqs if someone says they’re a Lander there is an automatic assumption that person is Isaaq. Somaliland should and shall never be a Clan State and be diverse. Lastly, no trolling or slander or fake voting will be appreciated as this is for my benefit and the benefit of the sub!

I constantly see people, especially Somalians glazing siyad bare. Supporting a dictator is wild. Even if his regime didn’t commit genocide, he is still a terrible leader simply by the virtue of being a communist dictator, a system that has never produced an economically thriving country.

People romanticise his rule and claim Somalia was thriving in the 70s and 80s but the reality is that the country was plagued by extreme poverty and widespread malnutrition. People need to actually look at the history instead of romanticising a dictator

With giving some Somalians Somaliland citizenship which was very controversial and in my opinion a very bad precedent, Todays speech that was full of appealing to the so called umada Soomaaliyeed was very disappointing.

My own approval rating of the president is hovering above 40% now.

,My friend told me that there are many Pakistanis living in Hargeisa and Burao. Man that's so cool. Anyways again Happy 31st Somaliland Day

My late mother once told me a similar story of this man. The next door neighbor’s family who walked with ours from Hargasia to Ethiopia, meet a similar faith, except the youngest girl who was fetching water with my older brother. The entire family who was a few meters under the trees, was slaughtered by an airplane. Very gruesome scene, some of my older sisters who were there, literally have PTSD and refuse to even visit SL. While we dance and be joyful this May 18th please remember those who gave their lives for us.
