SOMALILAND THE FARYTALE OF THE CENTURY



Culturally every nation on earth has it's own fairytales, Somalis had number of interesting fairytales such as (Dhag dheer, Cigal Shiidaad, Cali Duul Duul, Axmed Beenaale) and etc. Most of these fairytales were published by the Ministry Of Culture And Higher education during civilian and military governments before 1990s. 

The story of Somaliland reminds me, Mr C. S. Lewis who tried to write a fairytale story for his new born baby girl, Mr Lewis thought he could finish his book (The Lion, The Witch And Wardrobe) before his baby girl grew older and older, but something deferent happened, his fairytale is as follows.
   
"Dear Lucy, 
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again"

Somaliland could not finish the fairytale of breakaway story before the kids grew older, however today for some reason no kid will buy the concept of separation.
