Somaliland should absolutely prioritise implementing postal address system, especially with the technology now available.

The two countries have exchanged ambassadors and the two offices in Hargeisa and Taipei are fully operational now. Now, lets get to work and make this a reality.

Isn’t Galmudug 1.5 State which is less than the 2 gobols needed for mamul goboled. But it is still a state despite what the constitution says. Same thing with the new senators of banadir.

Taiwan's newly appointed representative and Taiwan's business development liaisons officer have held talks with Somaliland's Central Bank. Discussions include how Taiwan and Somaliland can harmonise currency reserves, whereby Taiwan will buy a pilot $100 million USD worth of SL shillings and Somaliland will exchange the same worth of Taiwanese Dollars in fishing, natural resources license offering. The idea is to by-pass the costly hard currency exchanges and utilise local currency when doing business at either country.

The masses are better informed than ever and will not fall for old tricks of divide and rule. I hope that the youth keep applying pressure on him and letting him know that he is a transitional leader which was put in place to facilitate peaceful elections.
