Ayrotv.com- The Gadaboursi people of Awdal face a critical juncture in their history. As we observe the political landscape, it becomes increasingly evident that many so-called intellectuals and politicians within our community are failing to prioritize the well-being of our region and its people. Despite clear evidence of neglect and oppression, some continue to support the prevailing regime in Hargeisa, perpetuating a cycle of marginalization rather than advocating for the rights and dignity of the Gadaboursi
This troubling trend raises fundamental questions: Why do our intellectuals and political leaders not unite for the common good? Why do we see the emergence of fragmented movements rather than a cohesive front that champions the aspirations of the Gadaboursi people? The strength of any freedom movement lies in the unity of its people, particularly its intellectuals and military personnel. Yet, here we are, witnessing a disheartening divide that undermines our potential for meaningful change.
There is a growing concern that some of our diaspora intellectuals may be colluding with those who seek to weaken our efforts toward liberation. This betrayal not only obstructs progress but also sows discord within our ranks. It is imperative that we remain vigilant and discerning about who we choose to follow and support. Our collective goal should be to uplift Awdal, not to engage in petty factionalism that only serves the interests of outsiders.
The youth and women of the Gadaboursi community hold the key to our future. It is time for them to rally behind the Awdal State Movement, a platform that represents the hopes and dreams of our people. This movement is not just a political entity; it embodies the spirit of unity and resilience that must be rekindled among us. If there are grievances or differing opinions, let us engage in civilized dialogue rather than resorting to divisive tactics that jeopardize our shared goals.
We must make it unequivocally clear: the Gadaboursi people will not tolerate mercenaries masquerading as representatives of our region. Those who choose to derail our fight for freedom must be held accountable, and our voices must resonate with strength and clarity. The legacy of our ancestors, who once ruled the Adal Empire, reminds us of the power of unity. They faced challenges and adversities, yet they stood together, forging a path for future generations.
Now is the moment for the Gadaboursi to rise and reclaim our narrative. If we are to survive as a distinct and proud community, we must set aside our differences and unite under the banner of the Awdal State Movement. It is time to channel our energy and resources toward a common purpose, ensuring that our children inherit a legacy of strength, pride, and freedom. The call to action is urgent: let us stand together, united in our pursuit of a better future for Awdal and the Gadaboursi people. The time for change is now, and together, we can forge a new path that honours our past while embracing the promise of tomorrow.
