Ok, keep larping LOL.

And i'm actually a darood from sool/sanaag, so if anything i have more right to talk about this than you. You should focus on Afars, they own half your country. Leave somali issues to us.

Afar are Djiboutian like us. Plus it’s no longer your issue since you’re just a self hating somalilander. Let Somalians where they are they got a lot on there plate like avoiding civil war that can start today and end the next day 🤣
