Somaliland and Somalia will talk this is going be so awesome For instance Somalia today is a recognized state but i has not a fully recognized government, When they move out of this so called interim authority ,they need to come with practical solutions how they will deal with Somaliland and their future relations with the government in hargeysa.So that for that to happened they need to accept talks all based on separation and goin back to the border prior 1960. If they refuse its all good but they wont enjoy the same legitimacy and recognition as the government prior 1991 the Siyad bare government. they will just move out of the transitional authority.to So some sort of federal government which will continue to have little legitimacy and limited recognition as a government. While Somaliland will have its recognized government meaning the international community will deal with it and continue to have formal ties with it but still not enjoy the recognition as an independent state. While Somalia's will will have their government but clan fiefdoms all want their part of the government and the road map to more clan federalism will keep Somalia in its current clanish weakness thank you road map for that and the garowe principles.
During the 19th century, the time of Britain’s formative ventures into the region, the Al Khalifa clan reigned over the northern Qatari peninsula from the nearby island of Bahrain to the west.
Although Qatar had the legal status of a dependency, resentment festered against the Bahraini Al Khalifas along the eastern seaboard of the Qatari peninsula. In 1867, the Al Khalifas launched a successful effort to crush the Qatari rebels, sending a massive naval force to Al Wakrah. However, the Bahraini aggression was in violation of the 1820 Anglo-Bahraini Treaty. The diplomatic response of the British to this violation set into motion the political forces that would eventuate in the founding of the state of Qatar on 18 December 1878
The request carried with it a tacit recognition of Qatar’s status as distinct from Bahrain. The Qataris chose as their negotiator the entrepreneur and long-time resident of Doha, Muhammed bin Thani.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QatarWhen Britain officially announced in 1968 that it would disengage politically (though not economically) from the Persian Gulf in three years’ time, Qatar joined Bahrain and seven other Trucial States in a federation. Regional disputes, however, quickly compelled Qatar to resign and declare independence from the coalition that would evolve into the seven-emirate United Arab Emirates. On 3 September 1971, Qatar became an independent sovereign state.
This is a no no, unless it comes with the sweetner of a referendrum on seperation within the borders of somaliland in 5 years.Cirwaaq wrote:Interesting times ahead for both somali states
My suspicion of Qatari strategy is one of Offering to move the Capital to Hargeysa and Siilanya assuming Title of president for the remainder of his term.
I am sure Abdullahi Omar has a counter strike up his sleeves.
Can't wait.
