" Dear Patriot
and Friend,
If you’re getting this message, then you’re
considered one of the many privileged individuals who would actually believe in
the perceived betterment of our autonomous, will-become-a-country, region of
Somaliland. I don’t know if you might have realized or not, but statistics are
not looking good for our homeland. I have read a lot of articles online
recently, none of which actually preludes our country as a country. Therefore,
we have to marshal our powers of patriotism and resilience, limited as they may
be, to do something for our country. Like it or not, the future of this country
rests on our hands, so might as well just embark on that journey right now. I
agree, it might get dreadful and some of us will give up.
However, I refuse to
accept that our leaders who died so that we can live a better life didn’t do so
just so we can get rich and be that way. I refuse to accept to just stand there
and watch when my country crumbles. I refuse to accept it. Therefore, my notion is simple, dear reader. All
you have to do is take a picture with a poster that reads your name, I am a
Somalilander, and what Somaliland means to you. For example, my names is X, I
am a Somalilander, and Somaliland means the world to me (I’m sure you’ll come
up with ones that are far more creative than that).
My goal is that by the end of
this year, the whole world will know what Somaliland is and there are millions
of people that it defines. We refuse to be called Somalia, just because we are
not. Therefore, the choice is yours; in the eyes of the world, you can be a
Somalilander or a Somalian. Your choice. If this peeked your interest, then
maybe sharing it with your family and/or friends wouldn’t be a crime.
Thank you,
A Somaliland Citizen"
