What good have those stupid arabs ever done for the Somali people.......The Khartoum-based Arabic daily Al-Intibaha this week reported that the government of Sudan expressed deep concerns about a recent trip to South Sudan by Somaliland’s former civil aviation minister, Mr. Ali Mohamed ‘Waran Adde”. The newspaper quoted one of the senior officials in Omar Al Bashir’s cabinet saying the visit was to strengthen bilateral ties between Somaliland and South Sudan. He also claimed the two states were planning to have trade, defence and military ties.
Omar Al Bashir and number of Arab leaders have long maintained they would block any international recognition for Somaliland. They claim Somaliland was part of Somalia and that they would not tolerate foreign interference in an Arab League member nation.
Quick question: Did the southern sudanese govenrment promise to recognize somaliland once it gains full independence?
