Foreign trawlers, illegal fishing, staff shortage deny Somalia $300m in revenue - The East African WWW.THEEASTAFRICAN.CO.KE Foreign trawlers, illegal fishing deny Somalia $300m in revenue

So it seems things are getting very interesting. The Egyptians want to establish a diplomatic office in Hargeisa and have asked Somaliland to do the same in Cairo. The Egyptians have proposed to upgrade business ties which includes buying Somaliland livestock, also Egyptian fishing companies are interested in Somaliland's seas. These deals will be worked on in the second visit. The most important request was a military base which Egypt wants to establish in Somaliland. Somaliland has flagged reservations about that and further talks are scheduled. The Ethiopian gov't has protested these Egyptian maneuvering in Hargeisa. President Muse Biihi will be playing his cards very close to his chest. Gobolka waan naqaanaa, bahal naga da'wayn oo dad cuni ma joogo. Have no fear Muse, take the necessary step forward that is in the interest of Somaliland.
