....subsequently by various militia groups including SNM that SL Prez @musebiihi was one of its commanders.
True, in the past 3 decades Somaliland has accomplished semblance of democracy, peace & ‘state-building’ (regardless of being fueled by false narrative & groupthink)

Meanwhile, SL parliament is still serving that (unconstitutional) indefinite term; the rights of other regions (SSC & Awdal) to secede with Somaliland or to remain in the union is violently suppressed; media scrutiny or criticism of the govt is considered treasonous act.

....Likewise any travel of SL entertainers & other people of influence to mainland Somalia is considered treasonous act.
