The question of who is majority in Sanaag is very easy to answer.
All records point to Sanaag being an Isaaq region.
Unlike emotional Farastinis (🎠) who make claims with zero evidence, lets look at every single election in the history of Sanaag prior to SL. 👇🏾 #Somaliland
On 18 July, the SNM seized a fishing trawler illegally fishing in #Somaliland waters. The ship belonged to the Soviet Union, then a supreme int. superpower.
The USSR had to make a payment to SNM of $250,000 for illegal fishing, only then were ship & crew returned.
Incredible!
Unlike any other rebel group. The SNM was noted for being self-financed, through donations from the Isaaq community in Europe and the Gulf.
In contrast SSDF was completely reliant on Libyan financing, one of the reasons it surrendered to Afweyne at the first instant.
Is @portsmouthuni aware their staff Mohammed Ibrahim Shire @Warsame101 runs a site dedicated to the whitewashing of Siad Barre, the fascist mass-murderer Somali dictator responsible for genocide of +200,000 Somalis? #Somaliland#Somalia#BlackLivesMatter
Not only does @portsmouthuni staff @warsame101 run a site dedicated to mass-murdering facist Barre, he also wrote a book in praise of his legacy!!
This is equivalent to simultaneously running a site dedicated to Adolf Hitler whilst also publishing a rose-tinted biography of him.
As we commemorate Jasiira Beach Massacre this week, Somalis should get in touch with @portsmouthuni to let them know their employee @warsame101 publicly supports a genocidaire.
He even uses "jaaleyaal" to address the crowds in a nod to Barre-era rhetoric. #Somaliland#Somalia
The answer lies in #Puntland's demographic problem.
It appears that in the absence of reliable census data post the Somali civil war, #Puntland has managed to successfully inflate their population figures in published estimates by various orgs.
In reality, this region has always been the most sparsely inhabited area in the horn..
