"We chose the war, and we chose peace. We went on our way carrying the olive branch, and they ran with their Kalashnikovs. They went and led them to extremism and terrorism. We had moderation and moderation." The differences between Somalia and Somaliland, saying: "We are two states and two peoples." I do not say we have no relationship. Relationships exist among all human beings, but we are completely different in everything, many people confuse us.
But this is not true by virtue of history, we were colonized from Britain, and they colonized Italy, we won our independence before them, and we initiated the declaration of unity with them within a large political project was popular then calls the unit "Somaliland" and Somalia, Djibouti and other countries, The project, because of them, we wanted to restore our state and refused, and sought to block our project, taking advantage of the ignorance of many peoples of the political and social history of this region.
The enthusiasm of Ambassador Pasha and many of the people of this country to clarify the differences between them and the Somalis in the South is not beyond their enthusiasm to build a different state in its system than the rest of the countries in the surrounding area. Their main concern is the spread of tolerance, security and safety despite the attempts of many parties to distort it, , Built a political system, injected it with antipathies, promoted continuity, announced an end to freedom and a strong parliament, made the corruption rate to the point of nothing, a political system that was opposed to it and protected by the wisdom and wisdom of tribal leaders. It enabled peaceful circulation of the electoral mechanism through the three competing political parties In its easy and smooth.
Entry and Exit
The arrival of Somaliland, the one-sided republic that is struggling to gain international recognition, as well as the departure from it, has been a constant concern for the first time. Flydubai is preparing to land at Hergisa airport, I see it as a prayer of peace and peace. The end of the journey, which lasted for about three and a half hours, has a variety of images that cling to my imagination from previous trips to the war and conflict areas, naked children, destroyed homes, suspicious women, soldiers in the streets and barriers leading you to each other. Visit and Nationality puts you in a position Important principle, as long as you practitioner of the profession of journalism and you have to prove the opposite.
The voice of the hostess picked me up and announced the landing safely, out of those fears. I pulled my eyes away and looked at the airport. Everything was normal. Some of the staff were hovering around the plane to complete the landing procedures. The runway was stacked like the rest of the airports in the world. Printed in Vienna.
Yes, I knew that this area is peaceful but I did not think it to the degree that I actually experienced as we travel from the far north to the south and from the west to the east in marathon trips for the four days we spent in this forgotten gem.
We visited our history and toured its landmarks and investment and service projects with no watchfulness, no fear, greeted us with a smile and deposited us wherever we went. Every piece of information we ask volunteers in the place to help you get it and more.
Identification card
The 27-year-old Somaliland has been waiting for international recognition since its 1991 unilateral handover of the unity project it had declared with the Somali state and successive authorities have failed to achieve this goal from any country. More than 20 countries around the world deal with it as a living reality and have informal relations with it, primarily Britain, the former colony of this land.
Experiences and negotiation
The president of «Somali Land» Moussa Abdi Behi «Al-Bayan» We control our external relations to the interest of our people, we look around us in the experiences of countries and choose the best to take it, we are an emerging state and try to make a system that makes our citizens live in luxury, and goes on: I do not rush recognition Despite all its importance, we seek all successive governments to achieve this goal, but we are also busy developing our country and developing its administrative and financial systems to strengthen the economy and achieve the welfare of our citizens.
Recognition is important, but mainly it is a means to achieve the welfare of the citizen, so we work in two parallel lines diplomatic and political contacts to go, and others based on building strong economic relations with countries that work with us and understanding of our issue.
According to Siddiq Hassan Addo, a member of the People's Assembly (Parliament), the obstacle to recognition, the Republic of northern Somalia, has not been distinguished in many aspects, security, economic and political, and to a high degree, where it enjoys stability and security compared to the rest of Somalia, To recognized countries in the Horn of Africa.
The country, with a population of about 3.5 million, maintains informal relations with many foreign governments that have sent protocol delegations to the capital, Hergisa, and Ethiopia has a trade office.
Ethiopia has a high level of respect. Ethiopia has a large number of universities serving its services in Hergeisa and a number of hospitals have been opened in various parts of Somaliland, which has special status with regional and international organizations dealing with Somalia.
Since its unilateral declaration of independence on May 18, 1991, Somaliland has independent administrative and policy systems and operates border and border crossings through its own military, police and security apparatus, and despite their lack of training and personnel, , The country has also issued its own currency.
Union failed
Since its early years, this republic has been a different route from the rest of the Somali regions. The director of the University of Amud, Prof. Suleiman Ahmed Qaoud, This was the result of a political and tribal consensus for the people of this region, where traditional tribal leaders played a pivotal role in preventing tribal clashes, paving the way for a stable political situation based on the pursuit of international recognition.
"Life is stable in this republic," he says. "Unlike South Somalia, which is still suffering from the scourge of war and differences, one city will become dominated by young people and spend the night under the control of the Islamic Party.
At the dawn of the next day, the African Union forces intervened. There is no stability there, while we have been living in stability for nearly three decades. Why does the world want us to rest and wait, our people live among the diaspora in other countries, poverty and deprivation here? Independence with the consent of Mogadishu, in which there is no party to his interlocutors and we reach a compromise?
"We look at the relationship between our two countries and find that we have never been a single country. We have historically been two states that, for historical reasons, chose unity, for example, Syria and Egypt, for example, unity.
Although no state has formally recognized them, Somaliland has issued its own passports that enable its holders to visit a number of countries, but most of the people who travel abroad use the passports of other countries.
Foreign countries deal with Somaliland as a fait accompli, so they receive part of the aid money for Somalia in general and have informal representative offices in a number of countries.
In contrast to its surroundings, the country succeeded peacefully in the transfer of power. All the presidents who followed the government peacefully traded power through the ballot box, while tribal tribal conflicts were contained before they escalated, as in Mogadishu. Warlords to the continuation of the civil war for decades, during which also occurred foreign military interventions starting with the United States, then the United Nations, and then the African Union and IGAD countries in the Horn of Africa.
