Corruption is a Qualification for Leadership in Somaliland
It is tragic — and frankly enraging — when nations continue to elect thugs, gangsters, and men devoid of dignity to lead them.
In the United States, the last two administrations were led by liars who spread misinformation 24/7, betrayed the truth, and contributed to moral and institutional decline.
Somaliland, sadly, is repeating this pattern. Figures like Mohamoud Xaashi and Xirsi Gaab, who have been implicated in the theft of millions in public funds, now position themselves as future presidents — as if corruption were a qualification for leadership.
This country is being led by individuals who are the equivalent of F-grade students: no vision, no roadmap, no sense of national responsibility.
I deeply despise the system. There is something fundamentally broken when people continue to vote based on tribal loyalty, not merit, and when political parties like Kulmiye, Waddani, and Kaah are reduced to clan-based vehicles rather than national institutions.
I do not support any of these parties. They do not represent the interests of the people or the future of Somaliland.
My only hope lies in Allah, the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. I pray that those who have stolen from the poor, who have exploited our nation, and who seek power only to enrich themselves — may they be exposed, removed, and judged by God.
May the people wake up. May true justice come — from above, if not from within. Allah Akbar.
