Self-reliant Khatumo State open for business: Here is why you should visit this summer!

In search of solutions to your problems,  some of you maybe still hung up on the old belief that you might be better off by aligning yourself with your neighbors to the right and left of khatumo State. See you have been confused, constantly looking at your right and left shoulders…Forgetting that your heart actually lied in between. Here…take a sip of self-esteem and ask your heart where it truly belongs?  And as you discover the real you…Only then can you brush off the demons from your shoulders like this… and this…

See… Khatumo needs you to trust and believe in it, because without you, it cannot actually grow or even exist. You need it to use it as your flashlight to guide you and illuminate the dark pathways that connect your underdeveloped towns and cities; cities that have been willfully abandoned and neglected by predatory administrations. With your help, Khatumo can flush out and shed light on the atrocities and political and economic injustices perpetrated against your people; With your support, Khatumo can help you to realize your dreams and aspirations for a better life. Students accross the Khatumo landscape can learn their Daraawiish history as told to them by their own historians. Young pregnant mothers who need medical help in Taleh and buhodle can be immediately transported and flown to overseas hospitals right from their own Airports. And now that Khatumo State has been legally recognized by the Somali Federal Government and thus United Nations entities, our Elders and seniors can finally proclaim and say that:

We are not from Somaliland
We are not from Puntland
We are not from a disputed land,
We are from the promised land of Khatumo State of Somalia.

The Khatumo Candle, democratically lit up under that beautiful fig tree in Taleh city needs you. And you need it too; see, this new found identity does not belong to any one or two or three people; it belongs to the little girl in Sool-Jogto, it belongs to the seniors in Siixawle. It also belongs to the students in lasanod and business leaders in Buhodle. It belongs to all of us.

There maybe a few among us who aren’t so sure about Khatumo’s accomplishments sometimes exhibiting self doubt or possibly even comfortable being in 2nd place in other administrations.These are the people who may try to divide you along the tribal lines of Faarah, or Mohamoud; Baho-Nugaaleed or Gabooye, Fiqishinni, or Kaskii-qabe.  Just Hit the delete button and tell them that the days of contrarians and clan conspiratorialists are over. See…in the midst of Somalia’s federal landscape, these communities are your branches of the Khatumo tree.

In the current Somali politicking dominated by regional administrations and city states, the need to organize and exercise your constitutional right to self governance has never been greater. I understand that change is difficult, but Imagine the absence of Khatumo for a moment; Can you tell me who you are? See… you are left with your subclan tribal identity that will not serve you in the national and international political and economic negotiations.

Khatumo is not against any particular group of people or administration; It does not go out and invade other people’s territories, Khatumo simply advocates for the peaceful stay of its own God given land.  It advocates for better Health, Education and Employment opportunities for its people. Khatumo advocates for the peaceful coexistence with all its regional neighbors. Is that too much to ask?

See… for SSC folks, any identity other than Khatumo is a trip backwards to tribal land. Let’s never move backwards to a disputed land; Together we can move forward to the blessed and promised land of Khatumo State. I ask the  SSC and khatumo folks all over the world, Who do you think you were waiting for!

The choice is clear, Ladies and gentlemen.

“You” are the Ones you have been waiting for;

God bless Khatumo State of Somalia.
