#1 I wonder what the daily wage for Somali protesters is -- no doubt significantly less than that earned by Hizb'allah fans in Lebanon.

Oh. It's in the Somaliland capital. 'Cause they don't want the central goverment to try to impose control. Based on the evidence, I shouldn't try to think this early in the morning!

#3 Notice - no islamist preachers, no sharia, and the area is "peaceful". It's also quite prosperous, compared to the rest of Somalia. There aren't any greater resources in Somaliland, there's just a different attitude. If the TFG really wants to see how it's done, they could do far worse than study the breakaway territory of Somaliland for suggestions.
