geography and global studies at the University of Minnesota<br> <br> By Abdulaziz Al-Mutairi<br> <br> Issue 450 -- <br> Sept 11- 17, 2010<br> <br> How will PhD holder think to oppose growing democracy? How could a professor <br> misguide the world over the recent free and fair elections in <br> Somaliland? Do the world and international media like Al-Jazeera English <br> News Channel believe in PhD degree other than morals of their host  <br> 1<br> Samatar? How the bogus professor got it wrong in the failed unity <br> between Somaliland and Italian Somalia? Who is an intellectual by <br> definition? Can PhD degree reshape the immorality by birth? The main <br> difference between Awdalites and the useful idiot is democracy which <br> Awdalites trusted in.<br> <br> In political language, the term Useful Idiots was used to describe the Soviet sympathizers during <br> the cold war. Today, there are Somalis who hold PhD degree and settled <br> in USA who support the violence in Somalia over democracy in Somaliland. <br> The implication is that though the person in question naively thought <br> themselves analyzers of the decade long Somalia civil war, he is <br> actually adding insult to old injuries, and is cynically using the <br> Somali conflict to achieve personal interest. <br> <br> Many of Somali Diaspora in America support the failed unity between Republic of <br> Somaliland and Italian Somalia during 1960 on bases of personal, <br> business and property oriented interests. They believe, if Somaliland <br> gets international recognition, they will not be considered citizens of <br> Mogadishu, Capital of Somalia, and they will lose their business and <br> properties. Majority of these useful idiots are from Somaliland <br> including the immoral professor Abdi Samatar. Anyone who listen <br> Samatar s argument against Somaliland s democracy will ask: Do the PhD <br> and academic qualification reshape the person, or the immoral remains <br> prejudiced?<br> <br> Prof. Abdi Samatar is professed to be manipulated by a political movement, <br> terrorist group (Al-Shabaab  Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group), business <br> and personal properties. Professor Samatar will support any group in <br> Somalia politics, as long as the group adhering to his personal agenda, <br> whether or not the group is terrorist or communist in nature. Samatar is <br> self-exiled citizen of Somaliland, and prisoner of his own ideas. He <br> fears of been arrested by Somaliland authorities, although it is phobia <br> and authorities did not issue any warrant to arrest him. Even after <br> death of his mother, Samatar s phobia of fear did not allow him to <br> travel to Somaliland to attend the funeral.<br> <br> The bogus professor insults every foreigner who tells the truth in Somaliland and <br> its democracy process. The bogus, which is originally from Somaliland  <br> Awdal State, attacks every foreigner who writes about Somaliland <br> progress. He doesn t want the world to hear the development by the <br> people of Somaliland without international support. However, Somaliland <br> always prevails and the bogus fails. <br> <br> By\ Abdulaziz Al-Mutairi<br> <br> Email: az.almutairi@yahoo.com<br> <br> Abdulaziz Al-Mutairi, MA in Journalism and Mass Communication, <br> Columnist, Freelance Journalist and Weekly article writer about Middle <br> East and African politics and human rights.
