Somaliland leaders still smell the British Rule, therefore Mr Donal Payne, they will not sit with other Somalis.

In an attempt to alleviate the ongoing tragedy in Somalia, Mr. Donald M. Payne of the United States Congress invited the TFG of Somalia, Puntland administration and Somaliland administration to a meeting in Washington on 25th June, 2009. Initially all the three entities accepted the invitation but only the TFG and Puntland representatives have attended the meeting, while the Somaliland´s "foreign minister" being ill-advised by foreign whistle-blowers did not show up in the meeting, claiming that "Somaliland is an independent country which has nothing to do with other Somalis".



Following this and during the congressional hearings in Washington DC, Hon Donald Payne, Chairman of Committee for African Affairs at US Congress had, bearing in mind that the so-called Somaliland is not sui generis and its people are not different from other Somalis, stated the following: If they [Somaliland people] want to be isolated, they can be assured that I will do all I can to isolate them.


This statement by the congressman, which certainly did not cut ice with the secessionists, has apparently prompted an outcry among those who are desperate for secession, to the extent that in an article: to Awdalnews.com, Hon Donald Payne was likened to a warlord and a terrorist of Somalia.



In another letter: which has appeared in WardheerNews and other Somali websites, addressed to Hon Donald Payne, Mr Mohamed Baranbaro, the author of the letter tried to convince the congressman and his associates that “Somaliland” deserves an international recognition. If anything this type of letter is a downright insult to the intelligence of any learned congressman, like Hon Donald Payne. There is a paucity of truthfulness in the said letter and its content is basically a rehash of the secessionist’s stereotype and ludicrous claims for a much sought international recognition.




These types of acts clearly reflect how the “leaders” of one clan in North-west Somalia want to mislead the international community and get an international recognition for a pretend state called, Somaliland. Institutions like the US congress and all other international forum are privy to the fact that the concept of “Somaliland” is the invention of some disgruntled “politicians” of one clan among the five clans in northern Somalia (former British Somaliland), who acting upon tribal dominance and taking the advantage of the collapse of the Somali state, unilaterally declared in May 1991, a secession of the area from Somalia and adopted a former colonial name of Somaliland.
