The SSC Leaders are Somali Unionist,

Tribalism does not offer shelter. It only destroys things. Timadde

In an organizational behavior class for my MBA degree in the United States, we had an old professor who liked to tell us riveting stories to hammer complicated subjects into our young minds. One of the stories he told us was about an old Jewish merchant in Germany who had a grocery store. The old man was harassed every day by a German boy who stood in front of his store shouting slurs and repeating the word Jew over and over again. The wise old man devised a clever scheme to get the boy off his back. One day he approached the boy directly and offered him a coin as a reward for his relentless behavior. The old man kept his promise and the boy got rewarded for his daily ritual.  After several days, the boy stopped coming and the old man enjoyed a well deserved peace and quiet. This was not a bribe but a manipulation of Human behavior. The kick the boy got from the insults was weakened by the reward he got and the feeling was no longer the same. The boy insulted the Jew to offend and hurt him. The payment he received for his effort gave the message that the Jew was not bothered by the insults.

I wonder if the same technique would work with a clannish Somali Cyber Warrior who has become adept at smearing the leaders SSC, one of the mushrooming Somali enclaves known as the Lands: Somaliland, Puntland Galmudugland, Makhirland, Banadirland, Jubaland etc., all based on clan affiliations to the detriment  of the Somalia State. Maybe he should be offered a reward for every article he writes about the SSC which seems to have become his specialty.

In a recent article, Mr. Kahin attacked the President of SSC, a new regional administration that is sandwiched between two mature regional administrations that both claim it, Puntland and Somaliland. Puntland uses the clan card to claim the territories although it failed to defend that claim after being routed by forces loyal to the Somaliland administration that also claims the area as part of the old British Protectorate. Jama Ghalib argues that the Dhulbahante never signed the treaties of protection with the British like the other tribes in Somaliland and therefore are justified in not recognizing the borders drawn by the colonial powers when they divided Somalia into five parts. Somaliland tries to use these borders to convince the World Community to recognize its unilateral secession from the Somali Republic. It is a weak argument that only draws blank stares from world leaders.Read More
