Is Zeila & Lughaya state another madness or mere political opportunism?

Is Zeila & Lughaya state another madness or mere political opportunism?

By: Mohamed Awaleh

Nowadays it seems to me that the Somali Diasporas in the West are suffering what a psychologists or psychiatrists might conclude, self-grandiose or wishful thinking – one of the symptoms of depression.

They have been gathering Hotels in London, Ottawa, Washington DC, and Oslo…etc and pretending to create State to their homelands without consulting or the consent of the local populations. 
It may be therapeutic for some – or- tribal rivalry for others. But to me it's not short than tribal war on High-Tec level.

Young Somali -Issa's in Oslo, Norway – few days ago jumped into the wagon and inaugurated another Hotel made State, whom they named, Zeila & Lughaya.

But I think this young Somali-Issa's in Norway is simply trying to follow suit the new political phenomena in Somalia or Somaliland: Awdal State, Khatumo, Azinia and Jubaland…etc

Waite a minute, perhaps this is bigger than mere individuals who are merely pursuing their political ambition. Nevertheless this could unfortunately further ignite hatred or violence among the Somalis.

I think this is another tactic to destabilize Somaliland – concocted by outside power; so that they could exploit the very destruction of Somalis – since the South of Somalia's civil war is not longer money making machine for the international bureaucrats: the U.N, some Western governments and international ONG's who pry the self-destruction of Africans. 

I wonder why these young Somalis in Diasporas don't challenge the Somaliland government within their courts if they think the Hargeisa government is discriminating against their regions; instead of threatening to secede from Somaliland.

I don't want to say I told you so. This is exactly what I was talking about when I criticized Awadal State, last year. I knew this will happen! I hope this issue will not influence the local people and turn into civil war.

I think those of us residing abroad should not be disrupting the lives of these poor souls back home. Obviously this will not indeed benefit to no one.
