"It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company" - George Washington

On November 11, 2005 an interview given to the BBC Somali Services, Prof. Ali Mohamed Geedi, the man who was   selected Somali Prime Minister by   the Somali   warlords at   Mbagathi's swine farm, near Nairobi ,   Kenya , stated   that his government would not mind   should the international community recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state.   Prof. Ali Mohamed's honest and realistic statement   was bad news to Faqash and Anti-Somaliland communities.   It turned their world around, tumbling hopelessly down hill with no one able to stop it.   This was unthinkable, beyond their wildest dream. These evil-minded anti-Somaliland individuals could not grasp that the naive professor, who was hand picked to be stooge and front man for the bloody murderer, Abdillahi Yussuf, has really got the guts to speak his mind, and say what he thinks is good and right.   By utilizing their clan-based websites, the anti-Somaliland forces started   attacking the Premier, criticizing his honest statement and forcing him to recant his earlier statement by giving another interview to   the Sub-Saharan Informer (SSI).   On his interview to the SSI, Mr. Ali   changed and completely contradicted his earlier statement by denying the existence   of Somaliland .

People learn new and valuable lesson from every mistake they make. From each   setback, a new position emerges from which to move forward.   An exception to this rule has been the Faqash of the Anti-Somaliland forces who has missed time and time again this valuable lesson. For the last 15   years, their sole purpose was to derail the progress of Somaliland , and hinder its recognition chances. What may surprise one is that these   evil forces,   would not agree to a   single matter,   including sharing the mosque for prayer,   except the issue of   Somaliland .    Ironically, they would not miss an opportunity to come to the Chat chewing gathering places such as   San Diego , California where they prepare their   negative attacks against Somaliland . There is nothing we have in common with these negative thinking and negative acting   people.

Somaliland is better, and would be better,   without Somalia . We have seen the light, and remember well those dark ugly years of occupation and we cannot go back. Take that one to the bank.   We   do not need to unit or associate with such unproductive people who are pulling us down. Somaliland   is gone and we must stay that way forever. We are better off   staying alone, than being with the wrong   union. Somaliland has   completed all phases of democratization, and does not   need to   consult with   such a homeless person.   They must stop hallucinating and come to this reality.

Talk is cheap, action is valuable and result is the seed of determination. The saying goes," if you run with the wolves, you learn to howl, but if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights".   You are not the kind of people to share anything with and we won’t discuss our problems with anyone incapable of contributing to the solution.   It has been proven that those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.

Certainly not everyone has the   right to speak regarding our affairs, and   it is certain that   we will get the worst of any bargain when we exchange ideas with the wrong persons such as you.   Why follow someone who's not going anywhere? We must be careful where we stop to ask for directions along on our journey toward progress.

God bless us all and long Live Somaliland .
