Thread about how I feel my place in SL and the criticism of SL nationalism.
Being from a minority clan, I don't really feel entirely close to Somaliland sometimes.
Reason 1: people using Somalilander or Isaaq interchangeably, makes me feel less close to the nation.

Reason 2: why is that SL nationalists talk about Hawd (in 
) as their own people but then talk about Dhulos and Warsans (mainly) as foreigners, especially to unionist ones. Kinda shows that they mask their clannism as nationalism.

Extension of Reason 2, you would always see a SL nationalist who is from Hawd, Ethiopia but never from Badhan or Zeila (Issas in SL feel closer to Djibouti which further implies of what SL means to SOME non isaaqs).
Reason 3: most SL nationalists are qabilists - continue.

Continue (friendly reminder, not all SL nationalists are qabilists and not all non Isaaq Landers are Unionists, Somalia has issues that give valid reasons why Isaaqs want their own nation, 4.5 system is one of them).
Somaliland isn't perfect but it is trying to be inclusive, Somalia though, it has issues, 4.5 system, Some federal States literally being a qabiil state (Puntland), but this shows that Somali politics are forever plaque with tribalism, Somali Region, there tribal politics.
Somali Region, people fight over the term, Ogadenia Vs Somali Galbeed, which is the obvious answer is that Ogadenia is part of Somali Galbeed, it just forms a majority minority (biggest slice of Somali Galbeed.
I feel lost of where I fit in, but I have hopes for SL.

Most SL nationalists, They should feel closer to Dhulos and Warsans or any non Isaaqs in SL than Isaaqs in Hawd if they're really nation first, that's the main reason of why there's many Unionists in the North.

Issue with people who are pro SSC, some may are pro SSC as Unionists but some use it to prob create another qabiil state like Puntland, same goes with people who are Pro Awdal but this pro SSC or Awdal is a side effect since other clans created theirs such as Jubbaland.
