The true colors of the NSPU

If you have been following the news recently, you are well aware of the shadowy activities of a group called NSPU thanks in parts to the commendable effort of Awdalnews. Given the fact that the Ottawa group was by far the most vocal critic of Somaliland, I decided to pay them a visit. Briefly upon my arrival, I was stomached to learn that NONE of these activists hails from Somaliland. Do get me wrong, non Somalilanders are most welcome to critize my country (after all we are on Yey back day in and day out) , but please do not level false charges while speaking on my fellow Lascanooders names. For example, NSPU director, Gamal Hassan, is a Bosaaso native with no family linkage to Sanaag regions. And the majority of the board are Bari and Nugaal. How can you pretend to convey Sool and Sanaag feelings towards Somaliland and Somalia when your only experiences of Somaliland consist of shorts stopovers on your way to Puntland.
However a more prosaic explanation can be given to this in your face masquarade ; for years in Ottawa, low lifes, after spending a decade in university and facing up to the fact that there are no academic material, have been able to land big jobs in Uncle YeY government. No need to spin the beans, but look towards Yey advisors, would be ambassadors and Somalia UN staff to understand where I am coming from. NSPU is no different, there are simply sending signals to YeY, hope they are heard soon so they would live us, real Lascanooders, alone
