I was astonished to read the article entitled "A Cesspool of Illogicality" (Somaliland Times, Saturday, June 7, 2003) by one Sulieman Mohamoud.
Clearly, the writer’s head is itself a cesspool, which is full of poisonous thoughts. He seems to cherish Somaliland, yet he vilifies the leaders of some of its clans, including the Head of state. He confuses Somaliland with SNM. Only sick minds are capable of producing such articles, as well as the plethora of clan motivated negative articles and comments which of late have appeared on the option columns of the local press and on the internet.
Let me, therefore, disabuse him of the wrong notion he espouses that Somaliland is the property of one clan. Needless to say that it belongs to all of its clans who have the right to choose their own leaders. Like it or not, Rayale and Qaybe are as much an integral part of Somaliland as anyone else.
To conclude, the writer of the article under reply and like-minded persons ought to accept Somaliland as a multi-clan state, lest it should irrelevant, and without a future worthy of its good citizens.
