There are 2 different strategies adopted by Mogadishu and Hargeysa, Mogadishu their interest is to prolong these talks thats the strategy thats why it took 2 and a half years to address the Elephant in the Room. For Somaliland its lets get to Business and address what is at stake. Somaliland strategy was to broaden these talks into international talks , the Koonfurians wanted prolong the talks or were stalling there were to many administrations and prime minister. Remember back in 2013 when the SFG was trying to appease Somaliland especially HSM and i said never trust Walanweyns for he has a plan. He first wanted to re unite Somaliland with Somalia and than try to score big and than use that to be re elected , i mean what Southern leader will be the greatest the one that makes peace with Somaliland, and solves the Somalia and Somaliand conflict.
But Somalia never wanted to talk about the disputed issue between the 2 countries. Somaliland also had a plan for these talks to fail, Somaliland was never happy how slow these talks were going , the Somaliland government knew Somalia was sending dirty woqoyis to Istanbul. But they flew to Istanbul any way just so that the talks collapsed. Somaliland gained 2 points from these talks the Air space agreement and that Somalia admitted that they committed atrocities against the people of Somaliland for the future talks this is very important. In the last talks they agreed that Djibouti can play a mediating role the SL side wanted more countries to Join as Mediators in Europe and Africa.
But Somalia refused and only wanted Djibouti. Somalia is avoiding arbitrators, because it knows than it will lose. Minister Maxmmad Biixi Yoonis pointed that out once in a video. I will find the video. Now SL has 9 Communiques Somalia and Somaliland talked and not one has been implemented all on the side of Somalia it can show this to the countries that have organized these talks to begin with UK and Sweden Norway France. Somaliland has hard evidence and it can now show that the Somalia and Somaliland talks cant continue with Mediators. We thank the Turkish government for the Facilitating role they have played. The Koonfurians wanted their plan was to let one mediating country join the talks every time we meet and it would reach a solution in 7 years times. But they also felt that the talks would have failed now if the elephant in the room wasn't addressed, So what did they do they brought Dirty woqoyis into the shir they knew that SL will never sit with them SL will not sit with the Dirty woqoyis those who sought refuge in Mogadishu qaxootis. And the talks would have collapsed that was the aim.
Xamar has chosen Djibouti to be Mediator as an IGAD country Somaliland chooses Kenya.
The 2 delegations will go home Tomorrow
Well done Halyey Maxammad Biixi Yoonis Somaliland can be proud of you
