i don't think anybody in s/land gives a damn what someone all
the way in xamar is saying

[grandpakhalif]

The question real question is, is Puntland part of Somalia or not? On the one hand they do claim to be part of Somalia but on the other hand the regional government in Puntland wants to behave as an independent nation. What is the point of the TFG if the regional government in Puntland does not even take orders from the minister of Petroleum on issues concerning oil exploration in 'Somalia'? My believe has always been that the TFG should be dissolved, Puntland should seek recognition, and the south(without the useless Hawiye monkeys) should find a way to create a regional government that works. 'Somalis' should stop fooling themselves and stop attempting to create a nation very few of them truly believe in or want.

smart thinking they are the ones holdin us back

19+ years and your still waiting. When are you guys going to concede?

[galia2]

At the end of the day, Hawiye is not Hawiye is not interested in a Fight with our Isaac brothers. All we care about is using the TFG to stabilize our own lands and use it to pull US and EU resources for Mogadishu
At the end of the day the TFG is a hawiye entity which is largely and solely supported by Hawiye's

Whats up with the different use of colours

Supports peace in somaliland

Since 1991, there has been no person representing the government of somalia who has step foot into hargeisa declaring it part of somalia. If that is the case how can someone who hasn't even step foot in the place speak on behalf of them.

Horta on a serious note .. does Is'rael of all nation
wants to recognise Somaliland ?

[KUUSH]

Only if there was a real goverment in the south this would make sense. damer shariif and his crew does not have the mandate of his people----------i see them as a joke administration.

We can all be speculative, but the facts on the ground suggest that Somaliland is an independent nation, albeit international unrecognised.The lack of Recognition doesn't necessarily mean that Somalia still had jurisdiction over Somaliland. This sharif government is not able to control its own capital city, yet you make speculative claims on Somaliland. Your claims to Somaliland and its people as being part of Somalia are nonsensical and not reasonable. Even if Somaliland is not recognised, it’s very hard to claim Somaliland territory as part of Somalia. Each passing year continues to make these facts more evident. Each year passing year Somaliland continues to exist will empower its citizens and alienate them to outsiders from south Somalia.

When on the 26th June 1960, Britain granted independence to the Somaliland protectorate, ending 80 years of colonial rule, some 38 countries recognised Somaliland. Five days later, Italian Somaliland achieved independence from Italy and immediately joined the formally British Somaliland in the north to form the Somali republic. Although theoretically united as a single nation at independence, the former Italian colony in the south and Somaliland were from an institutional standpoint, two separate countries. Italy and Britain had left them with separate adminstrative, legal and education system where affairs were conducted in different languages. Police, taxes and the exchange rates of their currencies were also different. The orientations of their educated elites were divergent and economic contacts between the two regions were virtually non-existent.

The new Somali republic quickly experience growing pains shortly after the union. Somalilanders saw themselves loosing everything to the south, including their identity as equals partners in the union and most importantly the right for a separate referendum to decide their own destination without coercion. These problems were further exacerbated by perceived southern domination of the new government.

If there was something Somalilanders got in return from the union it was derogatory remarks. The Somalilanders immediately questioned the merits of the union. They turned against their impulsive leaders who hijacked their hard won independence to the south without negotiating for the union act. I believe the blame was squarely laid on the doors of those fanatic ill-spirited politicians who did not master the basic ropes of governance, relinquishing the independence of their beloved country by united with the Italian Somalia without any popular approval through a separate referendum.

It thus came to pass soon the union between the legal states was driven by an irresistible blind impulse and pure unreasoning emotion. Both the impulsiveness and the emotions were exclusively and solely from the Somaliland side. Those emotional and impulsive Somaliland leaders who took seriously the ritual lip service to the romantic notion of ‘Greater Somalia’, soon sadly has found themselves living to rue in posterity their naïve credulity.

Lighting may strike once but never again in the Somaliland Republic. We are anticipating the day when Somalis in eastern and Southern Somalia come to our doors and force feed us the ludicrous idea of rejoining a union that is detrimental to our existence, we will fight and obliterate any so called union in a destructive way like Eritrea, Kosovo, East Timor, Abkhazia and South Ossetia all did. I am hoping that day will come soon, because we are ready to decide our fate using missiles and artillery against the oppressor and invader to peace and prosperity. I am hoping that day is fast approaching! We are amassing the victory parade celebrations.

God Bless

There's actually nothing wrong with what he has said,its true the international community recognize's the TFG's sovereignty over Somaliland/Puntland.

Puntland cannot make oil deals without the knowledge and sanction of the Central Goverment aswell.

Yes they may control a few blocks but there is nothing wrong with what has been said, its technically correct.

Fuck somaliland....
