Somaliland:

No problem sister   I was born there and lived there for a number of years but am currently in UK.

Yes its a great country it was liberated by Mujahidiids, called SNM. They fought the entire country of Somalia and the entire army. It was a war for 3000 men with poor weapons and no tanks and aircrafs against a superior army of over 30,000 with tanks, soviet and american weapons as well as huge aircrafts.

Thank god we took over one town Burco stole there weapons and used it against them. Then fought in the mountains and took over all of North-east Somalia and renamed it Somaliland after the former protectorate British Somaliland(before 1960 we had no history with Somalia). Yes now we are a country independent have nothing to do with somalia.

But we are not internationally recognised. Yet we still strive work hard, have a democratic government shock in Africa. A bank our own money, everything. You name it we got it sister. Its very very interesting our story.

Ileke-IdI:


This reminds me of Biafraland (Google it), may Biafra's own dream come true in the following years. . . .or month by God's grace.

Freedom is some sort of sweetness that has no "close to perfect" substitution .

Somaliland:

I was 7 but I got back every 1-2 years. Yes please do research.

Even I find it unusual why we have not been internationally. Please spread the name sister, I'm sick and tired of us not being recognized even South sudan was with no borders and real government.

Remember though brother and sister Somalia was never just one country just like other african countries. Every tribe had a town and area, then every area had a emperior/leader who ruled that land. North somalia had one and South somalia had another. It was never 1 country. Then the british came and made Somaliland a Protectorate not a colony but a Protectorate and South Somalia had Italy.

Then we ousted them in 1960 and Somaliland was a country for 7 days then we decided for the first time in history to make a country and we did. But 1 corrupt, silly, greedy president who only helped his clan and killed other clans ruined the country. A war with ETHIOPIA in 1977 that we won then he got greedy and almost invaded the whole country made Yemen, Cuba, Ethiopian army, Soviet union as well as others fight against somalia then we lost our original land. Destroyed the whole economy a war ensued for the oppressed people. North somalia won.

Now we are here.

cold:

Information overload.So where's Puntland in all of this

Somaliland:

Thank you sister please do and try to find out things even I don't know   Your really nice thanks for the compliments.

Ok you asked me a very very difficult question. There is no correct answer, but if I am 100% honest Somali. I will always be somali my ancesters are somali all greater somalia(Please research this too, somaliland is not the only sufferer) Greater somalia is not only the Somalia of today. It includes: Ogaden a part of somalia that has always been part of Somalia but to weaken us the British made colonial borders and gave a HUGE HUGE chunk of somalia to Ethiopia then called it the ogaden region which is the name of 1 tribe of people who live there yes the majority but its not solely there land this smartly lead to others living in that area to say you fight Ethiopia for that land we have nothing to do with you. Thus causing tensions betweens tribes, very smart the british.

They also gave another section of somalia in 1886 to Kenya, called NFD again a solely somali area 100% somali but former somali land. And Djibouti former french somaliland used to be 100% somali but the french bastardised them and taught them French told them be with us, then throw about another tribe and brought in another Somali tribe to the area thus making them loyal to them very smart. Then to save there asses they brought a east african tribe non-somali one into the area as back up incase somalis come back and try to take the land back.

So taking into account my history and language which is called somali therefore I am Somali.

But if Somaliland becomes recognized then I am a Somalilander.

Somaliland:

Puntland is a B***h that acts like it is part of Somalia but really only cares about itself and its one tribe. It fights over parts of Somaliland borders, give smaller tribes in Somaliland weapons so they fight and ruin somaliland so they can take over the disputed land.

Basically Puntland was created to make Somaliland destabilized and like south Somalia always in war.

Somaliland:

Thank you sis. It was worth telling the story even if you are the only person interested in it, thats all worth it.

Facebook I don't have it.

Also Puntland have sort of achieved that goal anyway. This year for the first time in 20 years Peaceful Somaliland that has avoided any clan fighting, had its first one because of Puntland but luckily it ended with a ceasefire but its a catch 22 situation we may have lost that land but we still have out army base there but we sort of need that land for recognition.

Of you want to talk more about somaliland, I could email you I have gmail for more info and questions you may have.

I would be pleased to tell you.
