Told you so ...



dont expect anything big though,
We will be having a supportive relationship with Egypt but no recognition
it will be simliar to the relationship we now have with Kuwait, Qatar and Emirates semi-official with some aid.

This is a looooooooooooooooooooooong way away from Mubarak regime days, when Egypt seemed to have a Grudge against us and was working feverishly to squash every debate in the AU summits about somaliland, as well as the Arab League.
Egypt in those days was more hostile than Puntland !!!!!

i never understood why?

was mubarak a darood or something?

[gurey25]

Things are looking good for us finally..

Our Ali Abdullah Saleh gone ...
Mubarak Gone..

new egypt positive, new country South Sudan, very positive.
Italy has not been anti-somaliland since the 90's and has been ignoring Somalia in the last 5 years.

New Egypt, Somaliland set to establish diplomatic ties

Somaliland FM Dr Mohamed Abdullahi Omar meets with Egyptian officials in Cairo

HARGEISA — Mohamed Abdullahi Omar, Somaliland Minister of Foreign Affairs, arrived in the Egyptian capital on Saturday and held immediate talks with officials on various regional affairs, it was officially reported.

Press statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Dr Omar accompanied by Mr Hersi Ali Hassan, Ministers for Presidential Palace, embarked on his first diplomatic mission to the North African country.

The statement added the minister received an official invitation from Egypt for talks. The dialogue is aimed at establishing diplomatic relations and developing bilateral cooperation in all areas for the first time, it said.

Upon arrival, the two ministers were greeted and welcomed to the Arab state by Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister for African Affairs Mrs Mona Omar and Special Representative to Somalia and Somaliland Mr Ayman Magdy.

Dr Omar is expected to hold a series of bilateral talks with senior Egyptian officials. Somaliland said that the new Egyptian authorities had expressed a willingness to open a new page in bilateral relations with Hargeisa.

Ties between the two African states have always been sour but Somaliland has reacted positively to the new initiative. It expressed optimism and expects things to normalize between Cairo and Hargeisa following the ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. For years Hargeisa accused Egypt of blocking its bid to gain full recognition. It argued Egypt had used its strong position within the AU and the Arab League, also a strong ally of U.S. and Israel, to block Somaliland recognition.

Egypt’s government has always maintained it recognizes the Transitional Federal Government in Mogadishu, which controls only few blocks, as the sole authority in Somalia. After a devastating conflict with Mogadishu that left hundreds of thousands dead, Somaliland ended its voluntary union with Somalia in 1991. The Hosni Mubarak regime refused to respect the decision of the people of Somaliland. Somaliland voluntarily unified with its southern neighbor July 1960, a union that was never rectified.

After the toppling of long-time dictator Mubarak, Egypt said it was open to all countries and was seeking new relations. This visit to Cairo by Dr Omar is the first its kind by a Somaliland official since declaring the restoration of its sovereignty in 1991. It remains to be seen if the diplomatic trip will bear any fruits in the near future.
