The Betrayal of Somaliland: Exposing Coach Maryama and the War Against Our Sovereignty
How a Somaliland-born influencer turned against her homeland—and why the people fought back to defend their nation's dignity.
For over three decades, the people of Somaliland have stood firm in their pursuit of recognition, sovereignty, and self-determination. We have built our nation from the ashes, defended our independence, and maintained a thriving democracy in a region often plagued by instability. Yet, time and time again, we have seen individuals rise—not to support our cause, but to actively undermine it.
One of the latest figures in this disturbing trend is Coach Maryama, a woman born and raised in Hargeisa, Somaliland, who has now shamefully turned her back on the land that gave her everything. Instead of standing with her people, she has aligned herself with PSR (Prevent Somaliland Recognition), a group whose sole mission is to erase Somaliland from existence.
This is not just an isolated incident—it is part of a growing coordinated attack on Somaliland’s sovereignty, and the people of Somaliland will not tolerate it.
From Poverty to Betrayal: Coach Maryama’s Fall from Grace
Coach Maryama was not born into privilege. She came from one of the lowest socio-economic backgrounds, growing up in extreme poverty in Hargeisa. However, it was Somaliland—its government, its educational programs, its resilient society—that lifted her up.
Through Somaliland’s education system, she was able to learn, grow, and eventually find a platform for herself. Yet, rather than showing gratitude to the very land that nurtured her, she turned against it. She used the opportunities Somaliland provided her to spread lies, undermine its sovereignty, and side with those who seek to erase our national identity.
This is a betrayal of the highest order. She is not just an individual making a mistake—she is an active participant in a movement that seeks to destroy the very nation that gave her life.
PSR: The Organized Attack on Somaliland’s Influencers
Let us be clear—Coach Maryama is not acting alone. She is part of a much larger, well-orchestrated effort by PSR (Prevent Somaliland Recognition) to target and manipulate influencers, media personalities, and public figures from Somaliland.
The PSR strategy is calculated and dangerous:
They identify individuals from Somaliland with influence—whether in media, social platforms, or activism.
They manipulate them with false narratives, financial incentives, or pressure to turn them against Somaliland.
They use them to spread misinformation, weakening our national unity from within.
PSR’s mission is clear: to prevent Somaliland from gaining recognition at all costs. They know that the international community listens to influencers, so they infiltrate our ranks, turn our own people against us, and use their voices as weapons against our sovereignty.
But Somalilanders are not fools. We see the deception. We recognize the enemy, whether they wear the mask of a politician, a social media figure, or even one of our own. And we will not allow this betrayal to go unchallenged.
The People's Fightback: Taking a Stand Against Lies
When Coach Maryama began using her platform to push anti-Somaliland propaganda, the people did not stay silent.
They took action.
They reported her content in the thousands.
They stood up to defend their country’s honor.
And Facebook took notice. Her monetization was banned. Her ability to profit from misinformation was stripped away, because even global platforms recognize that lies and propaganda have consequences.
But make no mistake—this is not just about one woman. This is a warning to every influencer, every media personality, every public figure who dares to sell out their homeland for personal gain.
If you betray Somaliland, Somaliland will reject you.
The people of Somaliland are not passive observers in their own destiny. We are warriors for our sovereignty, defenders of our independence, and protectors of our nation.
