	Opinions at Somaaljecel News and Entertainment Network
		For most patriotic Somali nationals, their agenda is the greatest fantasy of the twentieth century, not because it offers a better life but because it appeals to apparently ineradicable spiritual cravings.
		Simply put, secessionism in Northern Somalia performs the function of a religion, and its efficacy is of religious character but it is a caricature and a bogus form of religion, since it presents its temporal eschatology as a scientific system, which religious mythologies do not purport to be.
		This means that you should not go about in the land with an evil intent, to commit and spread corruption, attack innocent people, commit theft or robbery or to pick pockets or to acquire the property of other people through unlawful means.
