The tale of two Cities; one is isolated and the other is rubbish
In my last visit to Hargeisa, I wrote about things I saw there. In this article, I will briefly touch upon two news items that were in the press while I was there. One morning, I woke up and went straight to the reception of my hotel… the Imperial Hotel as I routinely did every morning. Normally at the front desk, there were a number of local newspapers, which all look alike and contained eight black and white pages. I did not normally read any of them. However, I used to give a cursory look at the first page. This time I saw a big title at the front page, which said, believe it, or not it happened. I was curious and started to read. I read it and the news broke my heart… a real breaking news. I will try to remember as much details as I can. The news read like this.

KULMIYE Is Not Democratic Party Any More!
Kulmiye is the party of hope and the UDUB is the party of memory. Regardless of the merits of their policies, Kulmiye had captured the moral high ground in Somaliland politics. The Lives of people in Somaliland are changing.
Is this the end of the road for Siilaanyo?
Almost every Somalilander who cares deeply and passionately about his/her country is aware that Somaliland is at crossroads at the moment, as it emerges from the world of political un-accountability to the modern world of political accountability.
