A Story on a State That Has Lost Its Way
A true stat is defined by its commitment to justice and equality, a covenant to govern with the well-being of its people as its highest priority. It is an entity where peace prevails, ensuring the safety and prosperity of all its citizens. However, the contemporary reality presented to us is a stark inversion of this ideal, a chilling portrait of a state that has not only abandoned these principles but has actively embraced their opposite. It is a narrative defined not by peace, but by conflict; not by unity, but by division and the collapse of the very fabric of society.
The date is July, 23,24
The state is Somaliland,
The location is Geerisa
The events of July 23rd in the town of Geerisa stand as a grim testament to this moral decay. The violence that erupted was not a legitimate act of war, but a senseless tragedy of wanton destruction. It was a spectacle of madness and ignorance, where the lives of innocent civilians—women, children, and the elderly—were callously disregarded. This was not a battle between armies, but a massacre of the most vulnerable, a horrific act of savagery where high-powered weapons were turned against those who had nothing but their voices and their fundamental needs. The crime is compounded by the identity of the perpetrators: an undisciplined, untrained, and ethically bankrupt militia, acting not with strategic purpose, but with a sheer, unadulterated brutality that reveals a deep-seated inhumanity.
This brutal act is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a profoundly broken system. The leadership, from the highest office down, has become synonymous with a complete and total disregard for the most basic human rights. The atrocities committed are a grotesque echo of historical injustices, drawing a chilling parallel to methods of persecution that have been universally condemned. The justification offered for such acts is a dangerous and hollow rhetoric of unchecked power. It is the language of a despot- Cirro- who believes he can dictate his will upon the people, convening secretive and illegitimate councils, and enforcing his decrees on a citizenry that is rendered both blind and deaf to the truth by the sheer force of his tyranny. This is the rule of one man’s whims, a (deceitful council) that serves only to consolidate his power and isolate the the citizenry from the Somali and international community.
The claim of this entity to statehood is a grotesque farce. It is a self-proclaimed state built not on the will of the people, but on a foundation of falsehood, repression, and international dependency, seemingly modeled on a foreign paradigm of oppression. The leadership insists on handpicking its own representatives, silencing all dissent, and forcing a narrative that is divorced from reason and reality. This is the hallmark of a failed and illegitimate state, a dangerous mirage erected on a foundation of lies and bloodshed. The people are robbed of their sovereignty, their voices are suppressed, and their very existence is weaponized against them.
In conclusion, what we are witnessing is a profound catastrophe that has befallen the nation. This is a crisis that demands international scrutiny and decisive action. The state, as it currently stands, is an enemy of its own people. Its policies lead to death, displacement, and despair, while its internal processes lack any semblance of peace, justice, transparency, or Islamic principles of consultation and ethics. It is a tragedy born of misguided leadership and an illegitimate system, and the world has a moral imperative to hold its architects accountable for the devastation they have wrought. For a people that yearns for peace, justice, and a future of stability, this current reality is not governance—it is a catastrophe.
