There's some informative article for a guy who works in the pms office wich I read for a while, I have no access now to his blog

He predicted some thing like this maybe he's well informed.

He says, for somaliland, the talks are just about getting an international media coverage for their case, nothing more so after this publicity they will cease the talks when it gets at its end and ask for international mediators

He says the people of somalia will not accept this.

What does DJ want from these talks Sahal do they just go with it for what ever reasons , or is it just waste of effort and times or energy talks will not succeed if there are no mediators

-Kenya is in Somalia
-Ethiopia is in Somalia
-Djibouti is in Somalia

Why not Somaliland

We should stay away from these people, we have nothing in common and there should be no talks between SL and Somalia.

We should stay away from Djibouti as well.

Our main priorities should be;

1. Improve Somaliland and all the different sectors.
2. Structural reforms that would enhance and improve productivity combined with import regulations.
3. Exchange control and restrict the amount of foreign currency in the country.
4. Improve taxation and impose wealth tax on the rich elite and the upper class (in other words people from the diaspora).
5. Improve the infrastructure.

When it comes to foreign policy we have to;

1. Gain observer status in the Zoo also known as the AU for one simple reason and that is to disprove the anti SL elements in that organization and their illogical argument against Somaliland which is the "inviolability of the colonial borders".
2. Form relations with other countries on the black continent mainly countries in west Africa who would enable us to get recognition from within so to speak and politically we need to move away from the sewage known as the Horn of Africa.
3. Form relations with countries outside the continent that would be beneficial to us.
4. Forget about the US and the EU.

I agree with everything except the Djibouti part. Djibouti is as much Isaaq as the Hawd and both should be gradually incorporated under SL. Fatboy Guelleh cannot rule forever.

But before we can do all that we need to dislodge the dead corpse that is Somalia from Somaliland.
