Following the outbreak of the civil war in the country, Somalia fragmented into small enclaves usually run by clan based warlords.
Some of them, assisted by former and hopeful soon to be (Denmark)new colonial powers, claim to be newly born states.
Such one is, the Northern regions of Somalia, the so called Somaliland.
Five Somali clans of approximately same size inhabit this region of Somalia, of which the Isaak's, according to their now deceased self proclaimed president M.I. Egal and other scholars, descendants of the Hebrew Jews, and not Somalis at all, is seeking recognition as an independent state.
As there are colonial and neo colonial powerful media instigating the fragmentation and re-colonization of Africa and the Muslim world, Yemen Times should refrain in advancing and participating in any possible way to this anti Islam propaganda drive, advancing the balkanization of the Muslim world.
