I get the feeling a lot of bitterness towards Somaliland has to do with not wanting to take accountability for why other regions of Somalia are in the state that they are in when compared to the state of affairs in Somaliland.

Which other regions of Somalia? You make it sound as if only SL is in a calm state. The places on fire are Moqdishu, Jowhar, Baydoa, Kismayo, Merka etc and their vicinity. The rest of the country is peacefull, from Hobyo to Las-Anod, Eyl to Las-qorey, all are peacefull. Nothing spectacular about SL, what is their to be impressed about, coz i don't see it? I get impressed by economically booming places like Angola, Khartoum, Dubai or Abuja, not SL. What exist there that the rest of Somalia lacks?
The only reason they get space on international news agencies like CNN or Al-jazeera is because of their mission on secession and the focus it attracks due to the noise in Mog, not because they've achieved anything granduer. I always laugh when i hear Issaaq kids talk about "the best kept secret in africa", Slick willy also mentioned this secret, i would like to hear more about this secret, secret stuff? Is it an underground world? Have you colonized the outer space? If Hargeisa and Berbera are the so-called "secret of africa" then i fail to see the extraordinary quality of this secret. Like i said SL is at the same level as rest of Somalia nothing out of the ordinary. Even Gal-gadud has better economic activities than SL, i for sure aint impressed, nothing spectacular at all.
