Why can't you people get it, Somaliland does not want to be part of failed state destant to be occuppied by Habashees/Adoons and controlled by warlords acting like stats man.
I like the accent. esp the accent of the Somali guy. Listening attentively to the responses of the UN chief, he is depicted as politically unsavvy and lacking keenness of mind.
The guy who is playing Kofi Annan is not truly Somali. He is probably West African asked to act like Annan. I once met a medical practitioner who was humorously relating to us how this white woman had had difficulty understanding this African man before she resorted to reading the movement of his lips and of similar people with heavy West African accent. Instead of having eye contact with the person she is having conversation with, she looks right at the parched lips and watch synergisticaly the movement of his lips and the sounds of his voice.

Somaliland and sant Clause both don't exist

Somaliland is independent and has been independent self governed country for 16 years , so If anyone is dreaming is you about union that will never happen.

GAROWE, Somalia Jan 23 (Garowe Online) - A large conference opened Tuesday morning at the Puntland Research and Development Center (PDRC) in the regional capital Garowe, where government and aid agencies discussed development and reconstruction initiatives in the region.
The Puntland leadership, including Vice President Hassan Dahir Afqura, Cabinet ministers and regional legislators, sat across from representatives of donor organizations from the World Bank, the European Union and other agencies.
Sources at the meet told Garowe Online that VP Afqura and other Puntland officials disagreed with the continuation of donor funds allocated for Sool and Sanaag regions to be distributed via Hargeisa, capital of the self-declared Somaliland Republic.
Ahmed Ali Hashi, Speaker of the Puntland Parliament, requested that the aid agencies pay a visit to the disputed regions of Sool and Sanaag, and to ask the local population what administration they are part of.
Donor country representatives at the Garowe meeting informed the Puntland leadership that their job was not to interfere in local political affairs but to distribute aid according to regulations.
The ownership of Sool and Sanaag regions are disputed between Puntland and Somaliland for two different reasons. The two Somali sub-states have fought along the precarious, unofficial border region several times in the recent past.
While Hargeisa claims legal ownership of Sool and Sanaag according to colonial-era boundaries, Garowe has long maintained that blood ties between Sool and Sanaag inhabitants and the rest of the Puntland population supersedes arbitrary borders erected by the then-governing colonial powers.
VP Afqura is from Sool region, while parliament Speaker Hashi is a native of Sanaag.
The two parties agreed to meet again tomorrow (Wednesday) to continue the discussions
