The guy didn't even mention anything relating Somaliland's naked aggression towards his own clan. In fact, he cosigned agreements that would further solidify Somaliland's claim to Statehood.

So, you hate Faroole so much, you'd bend over for Siilaanyo and Somaliland? Is that it? Sxb, go read the Results of the Meeting. Somaliland is to be given International Assistance independently. The TFG or Any Somali Government cannot visit Hergeisa. The Somali Flag was not even discussed in the Meeting as to why it isn't flying in Hergeisa and Burco.

Ahmed Caydiid Ibrahim was bought. Did he mentioned anything about Khaatumo before, during or after the meeting?
