With nearly two decades of living in a virtual zoo for humans, the latest imposed government of former Somali Democratic Republic objected not to the failed policies of it's donors to seek illusive 'Al-Qaeda members' causing endless destruction of Mogadishu city, but to an appointment of one individual as coordinator of the body set up by the Security council to

monitor arms follow in the old 'Somalia' purely for the ethnicity of his espouse having been born in Somaliland.

In a mediocre letter of rambles sent to the Security Council, their opposition to the nomination of an experienced Canadian researcher and expert Matt Bryden raised questions about his 'credibility'. This ironically coming from a transitional government consisting of warlords, war criminals, American food stamp recipients, European welfare claimants and mental illness sufferers as represented by the Chief of Somalia Police Force after an investigation by Channel 4's wonderful Despatches program.

Not surprisingly, such men of course choose to waste their time on something maddeningly self-indulgent and too gruesome for the average person to comprehend.

This latest development of Somalia's outright discriminations against people associated with Somaliland maybe new to our generation born in the late eighties or early nineties, but those who lived through the fraudulent unification of Somaliland and Somalia still rue that day (26th June 1960) for obvious reasons.

Because this day was the day they were transformed from proud nation celebrated for abundance, generosity and eloquence to one unintelligently called "Qaldaan" in Somali Somalia. This was coined by Somalis in Somalia who with their rudimentary grasp of the Somali language convinced themselves to be the superior of the two territories, hence the word "Qaldaan" literally meaning "un-real" assuming themselves to be 'the realest Somali'. At it's height, innocent civilians running from Arab and western donated 'civilian erasers' weapons were welcomed with new belittling such as the words "xabadi keento" ("those who ran upon hearing little bullets" despite the government's use of war planes and shelling). As cities in the former British Somaliland Protectorate were abandoned for refugee camps, Somalia slowly descended into a failed state.

As a result, programs to criminalise Somaliland culture and language began including demonising Britain while celebrating Italian fascism and the ban on the eating of Khat which then was only popular amongst a minority of religious men. Somalia National Theatre in Hamarweyne also organised offensive plays demeaning Somaliland's 'strange culture' most memorable played by Aw Koombe; a comedian who often played the role of Bantu Somalia grudgingly struggling to understand Somalilanders. Contrary to the ideals often sold to the rest of the world as a 'unionist' state, Somalia deliberately employed open divisive methods to pull the country apart to its current state of bestiality.

Naturally, current transitional government led by the cousins of the chauvinist military junta leader Mohamed Siyad Barre continues to in act such past policies whether by passion or misplaced delusional self-pity. It was interesting to note the self styled government's power trip and myopic attention to 'Somalia's territorial integrity'; a 'territorial integrity' which only came due to the fraudulent union of British Somaliland Protectorate and Italiana Somali colony since Djibouti chose to stay independent as Ethiopia and Kenya chose to scavenge on what was left to them by Britain.

Indeed, Somalia stood upon the blood and sweat of Somaliland. As Somalilander's patience and willingness to suffer for creating the Greater Somali ideology at the hands of cruel Somalia ended. The evil of Somalia fell to its demise currently being finished by Ethiopian mercenaries and American bombers unashamedly justifying their killing spree just as they have done to Iraq.

A close look at the current transitional government proofs my assertions from the fact that many illiterate men from Somalia hold crucial positions including the Ministry for Development while self-serving former professors from Somaliland are currently only named as directors. All this is happening under the United Nations, an organisation founded to combat racism and promote justice.

It will be both horrible and cruel if the United Nations was to lend a hand to such evil political system in Somalia, while Somalia transitional government and it's entities such as 'Puntland' continue to deny food and peace to civilians caught up in the hail storms of Ethiopian and Eritrean second grade weaponry. Only the terminally messed up believes that a warlord government is better than the millions of dying and sick displaced children and women.
