The questions are: Why does the Mogadishu government accept such fugitives in their cabinet and cities? If the matter deals with religious obligations, why don´t they establish Jihad in Somaliland? And if it is political, why don´t they join the democracy in Somaliland? The answer is: they are all after wealth and money.
