Got feeling Abu Dhabi might recognise Somaliland

[SuldaanOfSanaag]

With the inv3stment the UAE has put in somaliland amounting to billions. I got a feeling they will recognise to strengthen the bounds the two country enjoy. They are our best trading nation and have shown strong polictic interaction with our goverment.

The dp world chairman was in hargeisa the other day and was talking about free zone in berbera and how it will create thousand of jobs.


We should work with them for the interest of our nation and economic achievement.

Houthi are not the bigger issue.
Qatar sponsors terrorists Somaliland Is cooperating with uae and Saudi Arabia to isolate qatar from the horn.qatar and turkey bankrolls failmaajo.

Somaliland is going to work with alamoudi saudi billionaire to isolate qatar and Turkish kebbab.

Saudi Arabia is working on a plan to complain to uncle Sam that qatar needs to be punished.

Uae has allot of money we gave uae a military base. In order to counter the Turkish presence in Mogadishu

[AbdiCushite]

Benny......I have always been a northerner......secession will never be accepted.

If you were an actual northerner you'd know that we were already separate. So quite literally secession can and will be accepted.

[SuldaanOfSanaag]

As I said the uae is serious about working with the somaliland administration.

The fiasco with the somalia parliament has made our job easy and no doubt the uae administration would work more closer now to show farmaajo and co they messing with the wrong guys.

They will invest more then the dp world and military base. on other major project. We will be the gateway to Africa.

djbouti kicking them out Aswell done us favour.

[SuldaanOfSanaag]

DP World stresses commitment to Somaliland
DP World chair says Somaliland has been independent for years, after Somalia banned operator

Dubai: The head of DP World stressed his company’s commitment to its investments in Somaliland on Thursday even after Somalia banned the ports operator from operating there.

Sultan Bin Sulayem, DP World Group chairman and chief executive officer, said that Somaliland has been independent for the past 28 years and has its own agreements with several companies and countries.

At a press conference, he also described separate actions taken by the government of Djibouti to ban DP World from operating there as “unfortunate” and “illegal,” stressing that the company is currently in an arbitration process with a London court.

“For Africa as a continent, this action is going to set them back. If countries can change their policies, it is going to make it more difficult to attract investments in Africa in general. Banks will be very careful in financing in Africa,” Bin Sulayem said.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Port operator DP World said on Thursday that Djibouti’s decision to seize control of a terminal project could hurt African efforts to attract investment.

The Dubai state-owned port operator is facing twin political challenges in Africa.

Djibouti abruptly ended its contract to run the Doraleh Container Terminal last month and Somalia’s parliament voted this week to ban the company.

DP World has called the Djibouti move illegal and said it had begun proceedings before the London Court of International Arbitration, which last year cleared the company of all charges of misconduct over the concession.

“Africa needs infrastructure investments and if countries can change their law [to take assets then this] is going to basically make it more difficult to attract investment,” Chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem told a news conference in Dubai.

DP World reported 14.9 percent rise in 2017 profit to $1.18 billion profit and said that it would invest $1.4 billion across its global portfolio including in Berbera in Somaliland. [L8N1QX0F2]

It is developing a port in Berbera in partnership with the governments of Somaliland and Ethiopia. It is also developing a greenfield free trade zone in the breakaway region.

Bin Sulayem said he was not concerned by the vote in Somalia’s parliament to ban DP World from the country, which the parliament said nullified their Somaliland contract.

It is unclear how Somalia’s federal government could enforce the ban given Somaliland’s semi-autonomous status.

Europe, the Middle East and Africa accounted for about 42 percent of the cargo DP World handled in 2017.

anybody that joins his wagon to uae is doomed to fail once Bob Mueller investigation concludes.

there is a covert war of american intelligence services against UAE, who do you think is leaking UAE lobbying activities to the media

Mike Pompeo conformation hearing will highlight UAE fall from grace in Washington.

qatar is a smart state the never act unilaterly without united states, the security establishemt appriciate the intelligence and funding qatar provides.
qatar more influencial in western capitals then any other arab state, beacuse you dont hear them doesnt mean they are not theire.
qatar spends more money in western capitals then UAE and saudi arabia combined, unlike the former qatar has no major domestic entitlement commitments hence their power play.

somalia is neutral and that will pay off, we will never choose between Banu Tamim and banu hanifa
