Where is the Somaliland government in the
Taleex gathering?
Ibrahim M Mead,political analyst
Ottawa, Canada
Is a deception in play or is it just indecisiveness from the
Somaliland government regarding the “Taleex” tribal gathering?
Is it lack of courage and conviction from the government side?
Is the government playing the excuses of legendary Egaal Sheelaad?
Is the government has a hidden agenda which will take effect in the
wee hours of the gathering in Tale ex , which will surprise every
body in the end and Which will save Somaliland from the war lords,
political predators and Somaliland haters!
Where is the government in this Taleex exercise which could by all
means harm the unity, integrity and the sovereignty of Somaliland?
Is the government’s approach to confront the hard issues a detour or
a destiny!
Where is the fire wall protecting the nation from those causing her
harm and mayhem!
I am not second-guessing the good intentions and honesty of the
government to wards this Taleex issu es and other issues but I am
wondering like all concerned citizens are!
If and when a political predator and a Somaliland hater from one
side or the other out maneuvers and out plays the Somaliland
government, it is indeed a cause for concern!
The least the Taleex group will prove is that Siilanyo’s trip to the
borders of Somaliland was just an exe rcise in futility and had no
legs!
They may disprove that we control all the borders of Somaliland!
They may win the argument that their region is not under the control
of the government of Somaliland.
It may become a copy cat for others and the rest of it and so on and
so forth!
Indecisiveness
In this question, the story of Egaal sheelaad must be told!
[Egal sheelad is a legendary figure in the Somali legends]
Egale Sheelad,s sheep were in the barn- “xero” A predator-a hyena
approaches the barn. His wife wake d him up and told him that the
beast is about to attack the sheep.
“Did the hyena actually do it” inquired Egal Sheelad. “But it is
approaching the herd” his wife answered. “Let us see how the process
(of approaching) plays out” responded Egal Sheelad. His wife
interrupted him and said, “The hyena jumped over the fence” “But did
the hyena catch any of the sheep?” said Egal Sheelad. “Not yet” she
replied. His wife shouted and said, “Now it has seized a sheep”
Egale said, “but did it take the sheep over the fence?” “No” his
wife responded “Let us see what happens next” advised Egale. “Now it
did” his wife told him.
“OK now, give me the spear, give me the shield, give me the dagger,
give me the club and come before me.
By the time his wife collected all these weaponry the sheep was gone
and the predator had his feast and went away laughed all the way to
the jungle!
Peace and prayers
