Root Cause Analysis: 2023 Las Anod conflict

 Hello there!  So, I've been looking into the 2023 Las Anod conflict and wanted to share with you what I found. According to various media reports and sources, it seems like there's a root cause analysis we can do to better understand what happened. Oh, did you know that Las Anod has been under Somaliland's control since 2007? They actually kicked out the Puntland army from the regional capital with the help of local militia. Oh wow, it's been reported that the security situation in Somaliland has gotten worse.

After giving it some thought, I've come up with a few causes for my difficulties. My inability to get things done quickly, for example, is due in large part to my lack of self-discipline and procrastination. 🤦‍♀️ The fact that I'm too chicken to explore traditional things has also stunted my developmen
