Background
What Siilanyo has been doing to Gabiley from the beginning seemed as an unwarranted revenge. However that is his character. His character is that he bites who ever helps him and Gabilians helped him more than others thus he can’t help stop biting them because it is his character. Gabilians must understand that the biting of Siilanyo and clique are not confined to them alone any more, but also spread to other communities as well. Somaliland as a whole is bitten!
The story of the frog and the scorpion:
The story of the frog and the scorpion applies to what is happening in Somaliland as a whole; however it applies more in Gabiley than others.
However the story goes like this: “there was a scorpion standing at the bank of a river crying and calling for help in the name of all creatures. The scorpion wanted to cross to the other side of the river where there is plenty of the things it wanted. A frog was standing near by. The scorpion called the frog and begged the frog to take him to the other side of the river. The scorpion said, “brother frog you are a good swimmer, please take me to the other side of this river, I will reward you, I swear” The frog was compassionate and invited the scorpion to ride on his back. The frog safely and comfortably crossed the river and took the scorpion to the other side of the river. The frog said, ‘brother we reached the destination get off my back and enjoy.’ The ungrateful scorpion bit the frog in the back before it got down! The frog in disbelieve shouted and said, ‘hay, why did you do this to me? Why did you hurt me? I helped you and took you where you wanted all your live? The scorpion said, I can’t help it frog, it is my character.That is how I reward to any one who helps me, by for now”
When you finish reading this short story, who would you remember? In other words, who has this scorpion character which hurts those who help him? Undisputedly that is Mr. Siilanyo because the man has the same character as that of the scorpion and every one who supported this guy for any span of time will say “Yes, that is him that is Mr. Siilanyo Beside this peculiar and unseen character of his, the man hates those who know and instead embraces those who know-not. What do the know-nots tell him? They tell him what he wants to hear. Sycophants and ‘Guulwadayaal’are his men! The above misfits destroys countries, they never advance countries. They are destroying Somaliland now.
Conclusion
Instead of recognizing the debt every living Somalilander owes to those who liberated them and to those who found the lost 1st Republic of Somaliland of 1960 and those who founded the 2nd Republic with their blood and treasure, Somaliland governments, this one as well as the others before it collectively degraded them let alone remembered them, let alone recognized them and let alone respected them. Such ingratitude resembles that of the character of the scorpion; therefore how can the frog (frog being the people and the scorpion being Mr. Siilanyo) trust the scorpion any more? How can any one with eyes to see and ears to listen and a mind to think can trust any credible, fair and unfettered election from Siilanyo’s administration?! See what they did in the first Municipals election!
Besides how would such a leader who bit almost every community in Somaliland can lead his victims! How stability could sustains for long under such biting leadership? Somaliland is sitting on a time bomb.
