They are not more powerful or influential than the D-block or H-block. If that happens, then the D-block and H-blocks will be their own country, each to his own and at least they will have peace in their own mini-country as there will be no more D vs H shenanigans. Trust me when SL becomes a country of its own, the rest of Somalia will be divided into 3 or 4 other mini countries. You are right we are not in Somalia, we are in Somaliland. And if the H block and the D block decide to create their own H and D countries, Somaliland will send its blessings:)

This is the only way to go as somaliland's achievements thus far have been limited to sustained peace, with no resounding progress, one has to be careful how they resolve these kinds of situations, there are regions of equal economic capabilities in somalia who would see this as a call for bad behavior, if we reward it that is. The FGS must be firm so as to portray ist legitimacy, this is not the transactional government of yesteryear and there is absolutely no room on the table for somaliland to be on equal footing with the government of somalia. There must be a firm stand against secessionist, Somalia will be united, period!. Hello!! Are you still hallucinating!! Hurdada ka kac saaxiib. You are talking as if Somalia has any influence on Somaliland. The on going talks are between two independent entities with hadly any connections between them. They are almost two different countries and so one can not force the other. Get that into your skull for your own sake and sanity.

More evidence that not all "people" on this planet are genuine humans.

It is the Hargeisa girls who should be given Puntland citizenship (meesha ay u dhexeen) because the Puntland boys are not eligible to become Somalilandish:D

The FBI made a huge mistake publicising the CCTV footage of the terrorists. What on earth were they thinking!! The terrorists would never go down quietly when cornered. They should have just launched a low profile manhunt to surprise the suspects. Now they got themselves into a very messy situation.

They have the right to have a political opinion different to that of the mainstream society in Somaliland as long as they don't break the country's laws. Somaliland has people with all sorts of ideologies and they are all free to express their opinion.

Apologies to him then. Haddii hooyaddi ay wax ku dheceen Alle ha u sahlo.

I think he is not the one. Some people are saying he is still alive!!

I wish the government had Xaaji as their press secretary. At least we would have been updated more thoroughly;)

^ We are their caffeine lol;)

I think Somaliland has enough members and friends in the parliament to stop this nuisance:o

^ Waaryaa stay here:o

I think this is a coup for the UDAD party. Abdul Wali will formulate good policy for this party. Ditoore please tell all the SOLers to come to this thread and forget about those useless London conference threads. This is a very important matter and affects the Somali people's democratic progress and therefore in my opinion should be given all the attention.

I think Silaanyo and Mr Cameron were only talking about Baroness Thatcher's legacy in the world and nothing else:o

Well Silaanyo did not say he is coming to the conference as far as we know. He only met Mr Cameron but made no promise:)

The Scottish model? No thank you.

Seriously Somaliland's parliament should immediately table a motion threatening Silaanyo with empeachment if he agrees to attend the London conference. Silaanyo must be shown the stick.

What I have always feared seems to be happening today. I knew the moment Wadani and its useless "leader" got elected that Somaliland would be in serious trouble. Here we have a man who should be doing a vital job for the nation by actively bringing the government to account, and guess where he is now? Yeah good old London. If Mr Cirro had any care for Somaliland's interests, he would have long ago rendered his resignation of his parliament role in order to allow some one else to do this important job with an undivided attention. Today I think only Faisal is the real opposition we have in Somaliland and therefore he should mobilise his parliamentarians and lobby the others to table a motion in parliament threatening Silaanyo with impeachment if he ever attended the London conference in its current form.

I do for once agree with my Guru regerading our good professor yelling off-side for a goal both the referee ( IC ) and the Flag-refrees ( Somali mainstream poltiking ) has whistled for. Despite my unquestionable sympathy for the Khaatumo cause i (as a supporter of the PM Saacid's federal government and the president of the Republic) have to highlight that the good professor can't have it both ways, namely milking the Republic as it's gateway towards the Somaliland issue and not deliver any Khaatumo political or Military achievements to the table. These talks were started by the previous TFG and the FG can't and won't act on delusion as both men promissed me, yes this Federal government won't ( read atheer Hassan's libs ) by any chance compromise Somalia's dissmemberment but as long as the good professor's Khaatumo is of no real significance either politically or militarily, the Federal governement has to deal with the reality on the ground , namely the shots in Laasanood ( the good professor's birth place ) are called from Hargeisa due to the flipflopping attitudes Khaatumo folks became famouse for. Now dealing with the reality infront of us , Puntland needs to take it's responsibility militarily ( i must admit though i was not fan of the late Yey, i shared his practical policies and visions, i even supported him on the Ethiopian tank, despite my belonging to the Mogadishu clan ) and stop punishing the Khaatumo entity for having rebelled against Puntland, Puntland's "i_told_you-so" policy towards Khaatumo is what got us here, as Atheer Saacid and atheer Hassan can't send federal troops ( read : clan troops) from Mogadishu and Abud waaq. That and only that could challenge the Somaliland entity to it's limits and show how far it's willing to go regarding it's hijacking policies towards Awdal and Sool. Puntland is no superpower saaxiib. Cid ay dagaal wax kaga qaadi karaan majirto. If they ask for a fight they will get a fight simple as that. As for Somaliland's policy towards the Khatumo people, it was never about military conquest. The Khatumites were always in control of their territory except during the brief occupation of Sool by Puntland. Somaliland never took control of their territories by force, they joined us willingly and we love them for that. Faroole is not a fool. He knows he can never take over the Khatumite territores by force as long as they are with Somaliland. Hence his inaction. Saaxiib waa laga baxay wakhtigii qoriga la isu qaadan jiray. Haddeer wax walbaaba waa siyaasad reer khaatumo badankoonudna siyaasad ahaan annaga ayay nala jiraan. Galaydh wuu iska bacaacleeyahay ee wax uu meesha ku hayaa majirto.

Ditoore Osman. The title and contents of your thread do not match so I will not be voting. Before we do anything please correct this post by comparing the presidential palaces in Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Djibouti, Addis Ababab, Nairobi, Washington, Moscow, Beijing, etc. Thanks you:o
