WE ARE ALL GARAAD SALEEBAAN'S SOLDIERS! 

    It seems obvious that most of our political leaders are either inept and visionless, or mercenaries dictated by their individual needs rather than the common goal of the family. It is because of that unfortunate reality we are in this mess today. Most of us are aware what is wrong and would love to rectify what is missing. But, because we have been followers of these kind of leaders for so long, we are bewildered and lost literally and figuratively in no man's land!! Fortunately, there is something we have in abundance of, they are: Garaadyo, Ugaasyo, Suldaanno, Boqorro and many other traditional leaders whom we have been proud of and have been our heritage for generations. It is about time we go back to our roots and let the natural born leaders guide and we follow their foot steps. As we have seen many times, they are honorable, proud, brave and to the point. And unlike the so called political leaders, they almost always have the interest of the family at heart. From now on, we have no politician who can speak for us with out written permission from our LEADERS. It is that simple. And let's all say once and for all: WE ARE ALL GARAAD SALEEBAAN'S SOLDIERS!
