Somalia demands removal of 'Somaliland' references from business websites Saturday August 24, 2024 Somalia's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Jibril Abdirashid Haji, addresses key issues during a government meeting in Mogadishu, emphasizing the enforcement of directives aimed at safeguarding the nation's territorial integrity. CREDIT / SONNA Mogadishu (HOL) — The federal government has issued a strict order requiring all remittance companies and businesses operating in Somalia, explicitly addressing Paysii, Dahabshiil, Jubba Express, and other financial institutions, to eliminate any references to "Somaliland" from their websites and financial services. The memo, aimed at reinforcing Somalia's territorial integrity, will take effect on September 1, with violators facing legal consequences under Somali law. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in a statement released on Saturday, emphasized that the use of "Somaliland" undermines the sovereignty and unity of the Federal Republic of Somalia. The ministry warned that companies failing to comply would be seen as violating the nation's independence and could be subject to severe penalties. The directive is part of Somalia's effort to ensure that all entities operating within its borders adhere to the official stance that Somaliland remains part of Somalia. The government has recently taken similar actions, including enforcing compliance by international airlines. Earlier this week, the Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) narrowly avoided suspending Ethiopian Airlines after the carrier complied with demands to label Somali destinations on its booking platforms correctly. The airline, which initially used only airport codes to bypass the issue, has since updated its system to reflect the correct naming conventions required by the SCAA. Flydubai, a state-owned airline from the United Arab Emirates, also complied swiftly with the SCAA's directive by removing the term "Somaliland" from its booking page and correctly listing "Hargeisa, Somalia" as the destination. The dispute between Somalia and the self-declared Republic of Somaliland has escalated in recent months, particularly after Somaliland's controversial agreement in January to allow landlocked Ethiopia to establish a naval base on its coastline. The deal also includes the construction of a port and a transport corridor. Somalia andencd Somaliland have been at odds since 1991 when Somaliland declared independence from Somalia following the collapse of the central government. Despite the self-declared indepene, Somaliland's sovereignty has not been recognized internationally. The federal government in Mogadishu maintains that Somaliland remains a part of Somalia and has consistently opposed any actions that imply otherwise.

His company main market isnt even somalia or somaliland its mostly indoneisa south America and other continents , Ismaciil Ibrahim is an ardhent Somaliland supporter he will never do that World remmit is connected to Hormuud or cooperates with them and they will not do that same with taaj

wasiir ali marexaan the strongest language against the Bunker

We shall see how it goes and how far it takes somalia if it chooses this path somaliland information minister just in held a press conference mudane Ali marexaan

I don’t know really know but I think Ethiopia is testing Somalia and challenging it .so they took a step back to wait for a reaction from the bunker ,

Dahab shill he would never do that , that would mean he would Lose the entire sl markt jabuuti markt and a segment of kilil market , and he would never want to lose that market to world Remmit who’s initial market and the basis of his customers are not even Africans . I don’t know who owns pay si . I don’t think Jubba express has any market in somaliland if they choose to comply with the koonfurians I think biixi will shut them down in Somaliland , he will look the other way to Ethiopia airlines. I heard the the agaasime of the Ethiopia airline said it’s only temporarily besides muuse willl get a share in Ethiopia airlines and his nephe runs the hargeisa office , so just to stick it to the koonfurians he will take this L and fight ina other despite the disrespect of Ethiopia airlines.

A new dawn has emerged boys and girls. In 1991, when the late Somali defunct Republic was dissolved, The Somaliland Republic chose its own path, while Somalia clung to the notion that Somaliland remained part of their fractured nation. Ironically, for the first 14 years following this dissolution, Somalia had no functioning governmen what so evert qanyare iyo yalaxow ba isku eryaneye xamar the country was engulfed in chaos, with various regions controlled by rival HAG warlords. It was only with the fake TFG presidency of Abdiqasim Salad Hassan that Somalia made its first attempt to undermine Somaliland, notably through efforts to halt Somaliland’s livestock trade with Saudi Arabia—a policy that severely crippled Somaliland's economy for years. However, by 2009, Somaliland successfully reopened its markets with Saudi Arabia, marking a significant recovery. In 2012, Somalia and Somaliland finally began diplomatic talks. The initial rounds were conducted with a sense of calm, focusing on shared concerns such as security and piracy. However, these discussions failed to address the more contentious issues dividing the two Countries . Since 2024, under the Bunker administration in villa wardhiiglay relations have deteriorated dramatically. When Somalia classified Somaliland alongside extremist groups like Al-Shabaab, it became clear that the gloves were off. Prior to this, Somalia had already sabotaged funds intended for Somaliland from the European Union. Though the relationship between the two governments was never harmonious, it remained stable; political tensions were high, yet the people of both regions coexisted with a degree of mutual respect, and movement between the two was still possible. How ever the bunker is trying to fund Dawarsi state with the help of disgruntled indvidiuals who hail originally from Somaliland. Unfortunately, this delicate balance is now in jeopardy. Somalia bunker govt has adopted an overtly hostile stance toward Somaliland, declaring war on all fronts. Somaliland, however, stands prepared, with its people displaying a renewed sense of unity in the face of these recent aggressions. This escalation is likely to fuel further conflict on multiple fronts, especially with the potential deployment of Egyptian forces to Somalia, which could further antagonize Ethiopia and exacerbate regional tensions.

Sweden has been asked to prevent conflict and war Somalia create the Somaliland and Ethiopia deal by Qaran News | Aug 22, 2024 The Swedish government has been asked to prevent conflict and war Somalia is creating by the cooperation agreement between Somaliland and Ethiopia. Member of Parliament Markus Wiechel who presented a question to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Hon. Tobias Billström in the Swedish Parliament on 20 August 2024, demands that he take diplomatic measures to prevent the conflict in Somalia. Hon. Wiechel’s questions reads as follows; The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Ethiopia and Somaliland, which among other things gives Ethiopia access to the port of Berbera, a very important port on the Gulf of Aden adjacent to the Red Sea, will have far-reaching diplomatic and humanitarian benefits in a strategically very important location. This agreement opens up positive effects that affect millions of people in the region and also has the potential to benefit relations between this region and Europe, and not least Sweden. Ethiopia has a central role in the region as one of Africa’s most populous nations and a rapidly growing economy. By gaining access to a strategically located port, the country’s capacity to participate in global trade is strengthened, which can result in economic growth, improved infrastructure and a strengthened trade balance. It reduces costs and increases the efficiency of import and export operations, which directly affects food security and can improve the standard of living of millions of people. Cooperation between Ethiopia and Somaliland also promotes regional integration and security, which is important for stabilizing the Horn of Africa, a historically turbulent region. Stability in Ethiopia and its vicinity means a reduced risk of conflicts and humanitarian crises, which of course has a positive impact outside the region as well. For Sweden and Europe, a stable and economically stronger Ethiopia means improved trade relations and new investment opportunities. It can lead to increased imports of Ethiopian goods and open doors for European technology and expertise to contribute to local development, including a green transition. Stability in the region also reduces migration and refugee pressure towards Europe through improved living conditions in the home countries. What is worrying in this situation is the fact that Somalia’s unelected president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has threatened war, as well as approached both Turkey and, most recently, Egypt to strengthen their military capabilities. It is thus a dictator, whose ministers include former terrorist leaders, who, despite having no control over his own territory, is prepared to invade the most democratic country in the region. Worse yet, there is extensive evidence that Somalia is at risk of continuing the ethnic cleansing of Somaliland’s dominant clan (Isaaq) that began during dictator Siad Barre’s time in power. In light of the above, Foreign Minister Tobias Billström is requested to answer the following question: Can the Minister consider taking diplomatic steps to prevent Somalia from starting an unnecessary war or possible genocide, and if not, what steps can we expect from the Minister and the Government? The question of MP Wiechel published on the website of the Swedish Parliament said that the response of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Md. Tobias is expected on September 2, 2024.

Somalilanders outside of Ethiopia use the Ethiopian airlines more then any other country in the Horn , so Ethiopia airline gets is revenue from Somaliland , So Somaliland should make some bold statements and tell the Ethiopians we bring u the revenue respect our name and Our Sovereignty if they dont we can simply ban them and shut down their office and then stop their airline coming to Somaliland. But some how i dont think Biixi will do this lets see what happens the next coming days ..

Dagaal will always happen maalin ba nin bay guusha raacaysa Imisa ayanu anagu guulaysaney dagaalka de wala si wadaya ila gun laga gaadho xaalaada

lets see where it takes u lot anagu wa diyaar garoownay all sort of wars ha noqota propoganda ama ka runta ba ha noqoto waxad ka heshan baad heleysaan dagaal qadhaadh u diyaar garoowba oo dhinac walba ah, waba ino biloow tani..

walanweynti cidiyo ku dagaalan bay waddan Somaliland , Somalia sida ku noqon mayso,, Focusing their energy to stop Somaliland name being mentioned any where, it wont work in the long run they wont make any friends in Somaliland.

I think it’s just a bluff waxaas ma sameynayan iyaga wax ku waayaya wa hanjabaad uun

Let them come. Ceerigaabo isn’t laaacanood Ceerigaabo is in the hands of a qabil. If u want to take it. U have to fight that qabil Reerkaasi na reer lugu so ordo maha

The situation with Hassan Sheikh Maxamuud is quite intricate. His stance on Jubbaland is clear he never really truly desired its existence, as it lies beyond his sphere of influence plus the Kenyan involvement . Similarly, regions like SSC and Maakhir, along with any other potential states, also fall outside his control. His brief engagement with Khatumo was merely a tactic to undermine Deni, and when that strategy failed, he abandoned them without hesitation. Hassan Sheikh is wary of any additional opposition to his administration, particularly from the D-block clan groups . He perceives the creation of another D-block state as a direct threat to his authority and would strongly resist such a development. His animosity toward Ina Bixi, especially after being betrayed in the MOU affair, runs deep. He might even attempt to persuade Bixi to delay the MOU's implementation, urging him instead to focus on restoring Somaliland first. And he would Assist Biixi with this. Hassan Sheikh is undeniably a shrewd operator, a calculated crook who masks his cunning with a smile. He is acutely aware of the potential power shifts that could arise if rival D Block clans grow stronger than his own establishment, posing a risk to his political position. Thus, he may be willing to offer Somaliland significant concessions—financial support, military assistance, and a special arrangement for aid—anything except diplomatic recognition. Reports from the Djibouti talks december 2023 suggest that discussions were held regarding Somaliland's status as a special autonomous republic within Somalia, with its own laws and a distinct status. Hassan Sheikh understands the influence of Puntland and aims to keep it weakened, allowing him to impose his new constitution with greater ease. In his vision, there is no place for SSC within his broader agenda. The future of Maakhir and Khatumo remains uncertain—whether they will survive with limited support from Puntland or eventually merge with it as a last resort is yet to be seen. Time will reveal the outcome, but Hassan's approach remains steadfast, only disrupted by the recent MOU developments.

Just one port terminal isn’t that what Ethiopia also want Eventhough Ethiopia wants to lease a territory malawi wants to own one port terminal where as Ethiopia wants to own a port and a naval base and a terrritory it can lease for an x period of time

Well I have never liked the idea of giving territory to Ethiopians they have a track record of claiming things that aren’t theirs . The other issue I have with the deal is with the galla becoming more fierce and more belligerents even their beggars in hargeisa are talking with so much kibir I never really endorsed the idea just entertained the benefit of the doubt since I trust bixii to the nation right but I don’t trust abiye and the gallas one bit the fact and the disrespect is that they even go to Ankara and talk about it with Somalia is a disrespectful to Somaliland . All in all somaliland should just help Somalia with this issue and stop the whole thing . And negotiations with Somalia and somaliland should begin imediatly I think we have shown good will with this but they should then stop stalling and. Agree with a 5 year plan to come with a solution for our conflict . Now they don’t have to sell any more of their resources with military treaties with foreign countries it’s a win win

Let Ethiopia take back its ports it lost from Eritrea and leave us alone that maybe the only way forward
