Somaliland: So far from Somalia... The plane that the air force of Siad Barre used to bomb the city during the civil war — mounted on a monument. Photo/Fred Oluoch By RED OLUOCH Posted Thursday, June 13 2013 at 13:21 In Summary Somaliland with a population of 3.5 million is peaceful, has a functioning civil service, judiciary and police and has held five multiparty elections. Somaliland, on the Gulf of Aden in the Red Sea, is a major contrast to troubled Somalia, its southern neighbour. The people are fiercely protective of their sovereignty even though the international community has not recognised the country as an independent state. Since its breakaway from Somalia following the fall of Siad Barre’s government in 1991, Somaliland with a population of 3.5 million, has created working institutions such as the judiciary, the police, a functioning civil service. The country has maintained peace and has held five successive multiparty elections. Somaliland’s links with the better-known Somalia are through language and religion, but the culture is different. Somalilanders are trying to balance maintaining their unique identity with borrowing a few things from their southern brothers. For example, while all vehicles are right hand drives, they still drive on the right side of the road like in the south — unusual anywhere in the world. Countries that drive on the left typically have right-hand drive cars, and vice versa. In Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland and the second largest city in the whole of Somalia, three currencies are used interchangeably. One can use the US dollar and get change in Somaliland shillings. Some hotels also accept the Ethiopian birr. Money can be changed on the streets, and money changers are everywhere with heaps of Somaliland shillings. It is a sign that the country is free of thieves. Hargeisa is safe compared with Mogadishu; one can walk the streets at night without worrying about their safety. The 160km road from Berbera to Hargeisa is in relatively good condition, having been built by the Chinese 25 years ago. However, some of the link roads in Hargeisa are gravel roads that give drivers a hard time. Construction is booming in Somaliland. One of the key features of Hargeisa is the plane that the air force of former president Siad Barre used to bomb the city to pulp during the civil war in 1991. The plane was shot down and it is now mounted as a monument and a reminder of the dark period the country underwent. Indeed, Siad Barre is anathema to Somalilanders and the mention of the name elicits epithets at a man who mistreated the people of Somaliland before and during the civil war. State House, where President Mohammed Silanyo lives, is located within the city and ordinary people have easy access to it. Just like Somalia, the Somalilanders love their conversation and can spend hours talking till late in the evening. Although Somaliland does not strike one as a strictly Muslim region, alcohol is not available and city dwellers take their prayers seriously. Despite having been part of Somalia until 22 years ago, Somaliland has little day-to-day connection with Somalia. The people are proud to have broken away and nearly everybody defends their separateness. Any suggestion that they should reunite with Somalia is met with scorn, on the grounds that they don’t want to import chaos into a country that has remained peaceful for 22 years. The former British Somaliland gained its independence on June 26, 1960, five days before their Italian-controlled counterpart in the south. But on July 1, 1960, when Somalia gained independence, Somaliland decided to join hands with its southern neighbour to realise the Greater Somaliland dream. This dream sought to unite the two with three other regions inhabited by ethnic Somali — French Somaliland (currently Djibouti), the ****** region in eastern Ethiopia, and the North Eastern Frontier in north-eastern Kenya. Despite the dream having caused the Shifta War in Kenya in the early 1960s as Kenyans of Somali origin sought to secede, it is now a dead dream and Somalilanders do not entertain any suggestion of unity with Somalia. Entering and leaving the airport in Berbera is expensive. One has to pay $34 for the visa fees and on leaving, one has to part with $10 for security checks, and a further $34 for airport tax.

Somaliland calling for diplomacy between the 2 countries to sort out their problems in a diplomatic way, its willing even to mediate if needed. I think this is an excellent step by Somaliland to remain very neutral between the 2 the Nile waters are not one that concern Somaliland. These rivers do not go through Somaliland. But the peace in the region is necessary.

Caydiid Isniin, Juun 17, 2013 (HOL) — Labaatan sano ayaa maanta ku buuxsantay markii ergaygii Qaramada Midoobay ee Soomaaliya, Admiral Johathan Howe uu amar ku bixiyay in lasoo qabto Jen.

Jen. Caydiid oo geeriyooday 01-dii Ogoosto 1996-kii ayaanay suurogelin in howgalkaas lagu qabto, waxaana sababta dagaalka keentay ay ahayd iyadoo loo haystay ciidamadii uu horkacayay inay dileen 25 askari oo u dhashay dalka Bakistaan, kuwaasoo qayb ka ahaa howgalkii UNOSOM ee Soomaaliya.

Xukuumadda S/Land Oo Ka HadashayMawqifkeeda Dhaamka Ethiopia Ka Dhisanayso Blue Nile-Ka Oo Xiisad Ka Dhex Abuuray Qahira Iyo Adis-Ababa Hargeysa, June 17, 2013 (Haatuf) – Xukuumadda Somaliland ayaa markii ugu horaysay ka hadashay Mawqifkeeda Muranka ka taagan dhaamka Ethiopia ka dhisayso Blue Nile-ka, taas oo xiisad ka dhex abuurtey dawladda Masar iyo Ethiopia oo khilaafkoodu todobaadadii ugu danbeeyey uu cirka isku sii shareeray ka dib markii ay labadda dhinac hadalo hanjabaado iyo digniino xambaarsan hawada isku mariyeen. Wasiirka Arrimaha Debadda Somaliland Dr Maxamed C/laahi Cumar ayaa isagu mar uu shalay hortagay Golaha Wakiilada ka hadlay mawqifka xukuumadda uu ka tirsan yahay ay ka taagan tahay khilaafka xoogan ee dhashay biyaha Webiga Niil-ka ee u dhaxeeya Masar iyo Ethiopia, kaas oo dunida iyo dalalka mandaqada ugu baaqay inay sameeyaan dhaqdhaqaaqyo diblomaasiyadeed oo lagu xalinayo xiisadaas, isla markaana xusay inay taageerayaan in qaab wada-hadal lagu soo afjaro qadiyadaas. Dr Maxamed C/laahi waxa uu tilmaamay inay diyaar u yihiin inay qayb ka noqdaan dhaqdhaqaaqyada lagu soo afjarayo khilaafka u dhaxeeya dalwadaha Ethiopia iyo Masar, tibaaxayna inay Somaliland iyo dalalka geeskaba ay khatar ku tahay hadii dagaal ka dhexqarxo xukuumadaha Qahira iyo Adis-Ababa. Ugu horayna isaga oo arimahaas ka hadlayana, waxa ka mid ahaa hadalkiisii “Arintan biyaha Webiga Niilka ee hadal haynteedu baryahanba taagnayd waa khilaaf u dhaxeeyey dalal badan oo ku yaala gobolkan, markaa horta taas aynu ogaano inaanay arintaasi ahayn mid ku kooban Masar iyo Ethiopia oo kaliya. Xukuumad ahaan arintaasi anagu waxaanu u aragnaa arin khal-khal galinkarta nabadgalyada gobolka Geeska Afrika ee aynu ka midka nahay, waxaanay sida aanu sheegay noogu muuqataa arin wayn oo mudo hadalkeedu taagnaa, isla markaana aanu Caalamku marnaba si wanaagsan u darsin oo aanu u eegin oo heshiisyadii hore u jiray mooyaane aan arintaas markale dib loogu noqonin, waana arin la filankaro inay Mushkilad wayn keento Mustaqbalka”. Dr Maxamed C/laahi Cumar Wasiirka Khaarajiga Somaliland isaga oo hadalkiisa sii watana, waxa uu intaas raaciyey “Waxaanu xalka arintaas u aragnaa inay dalalka Mandaqada iyo kuwa Caalamkuba u gurmadaan oo ay sameeyeen dhaqdhaqaaqyo Diblomaasiyadeed oo arintaasi wax lagaga qabanayo, xukuumad ahaan marnaba uma aragna xalku inoo yahay in la isku dilo oo dagaal ka dhexqarxo dawladda Masar iyo Ethiopia oo dabcan hadii ay dhacdo saamayn wayn ku yeelankara Somaliland. Markaa Mawqifka Somaliland ee qadiyadaasi waxa uu noqonayaa in si nabadgalyo ah ay dunida iyo dalalka ay khusaysaaba ay arintaas ka odayeeyaan, Somaliland-na dal ahaan waxay diyaar u tahay inay dhaqdhaqaaqyada diblomasiyadeed ee lagu dajinayo arintaas ay ka qaybqaadato”.Wasiirka mar wax laga waydiiyey sida ay xukuumad ahaan u arkaan taageeradii dawladda Ethiopia dhawaan u muujisay Somaliland, waxaanu si kooban u yidhi “Arinta kale ee ku saabsan taageeradda ay Ethiopia u muujisay Somaliland oo run ahaantii aanu ka mahad celinayno, isla markaana inaanu arimaha noocaas ah meel uga soo wada jeedsano way naga go’an tahay oo waanu soo dhawaynaynaa”.

Good points but i disagree because the Big foot community in Kenya are the greatest supporters and financiers of the ONLF and i doubt they stopped supporting it. They have agreed to focus on the Jubbaland state forming and fight another day more extensively. It is true that Ileey gained allot of support the past 2 years. He played the Clan card very well to unite the O community and create his little O kingdom in Jigjiga. The reason Why Madoobe is in addis ababa is to make an alliance with Ethiopia because Ethiopia was suspicious about the whole Jubbaland.If you read Wikileaks the Ethiopians never supported a Jubbaland led by the Big foot Community. Also the SFG was not helping the cause on the Pirates and their relations with the whole Jubbaland thing you are spot on. But Mintid do not forget the gedo community is also very divided Madoobe and the Pirates are day in day out working hard to include them.Its the Mogadishu Community that will do the most of the Diplomatic fighting to halt this Jubbaland Project.

Lol@ Hagbad Somalis indeed consider Federalism like some sort of Hagbad and Hassan sh is temporarily named to be head of the Hagbad foundation. And the rest are the investors

I doubt they fully sacrificed the ONLF for Jubbaland, but maybe they decided to fight another day. Remember ONLF is not making any progress against Ethiopia. Absolute no support from Somalia i mean if SFG officials go to addis ababa and tell the Ethiopians there is an ONLF cell in Kismayo what are you expecting. As i see it they divided themselves 3 ways one group will continue the war against Ethiopia one group will cooperate with Ethiopia, in order to achieve and secure a tribal homeland for Beesha in Somalia inter linked with the last group who are setting up a state in Somalia with the help of the Somali Kenyans. Its kinda smart of them its a good strategy if you ask me.

Arabs are morally mentally very weak , also very inferior when it comes to europeans Arabs are not creative they are very poor even with all the resources the Smallest EU countries have higher GDP than the richest Arab countries.

Arabs are still weak , we might take their money if they have money to offer us is always welcome , but we will not cooperate with these monkey's they always have an agenda we have no interests in their agenda because most of the time it goes against ours. They were always very hostile towards Somaliland. Give ma quarter of the army equipment saudi Arabia has and i can guarantee you Somaliland Militia can shake the foundation of the state of Israel. But Arabs cannot fight diplomatically they have nothing to offer us , they might tell us that we should be nice to the Koonfurians. Because the Koonfurians have been screwing up the past 2 decades. And the Arabs have no ally in the Horn:D

^^ The Arabs are weak

A united Somalia and ONLF. but for now there is no United Somalia , only ONLF is a threat to their territorial integrity not a major threat but still it can destabilize parts of Ethiopia.

^^ Maaddeey Somalia sheeganaysa Somaliland ,Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya ma sheegtan Somaliland.

I think that is not correct

Citizen or Stranger? In this two-part series we meet an extended family of immigrants navigating their lives in six different countries. Special series Last Modified: 14 Jun 2013 10:19 Countries with a multicultural approach, like Canada, the US and Great Britain, encourage immigrants to keep their customs and culture. Others, like France and Denmark, urge immigrants to integrate and adopt Western values. We look at the story of one immigrant family that was separated due to a civil war. They tell about their lives in their adopted country, and about their hopes for the future. Episode 1 In the world today, there at least 10 million people on the move, looking for safety, comfort and a better life. But they are not always welcomed when they arrive in a new land, and the arguments over how to integrate these newcomers are emotional and sometimes explosive. I'm French, whether they like it or not Sahra Halgan Ahmed But what about the people who are at the centre of this debate? What do they think of their new countries, and how have they been received? In this film, we meet an extended family of immigrants who now live in six different countries. Some of them are distant cousins, some, are close relatives. They all come from the same part of the world: the Horn of Africa - Somaliland, a place that has been torn apart by civil war for the last 30 years. This is their story in their words. http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/specialseries/2013/06/201361314412558551.html

if it is true and the President goes to Saudi Arabia, the question what do the Arabs have to offer us , i always raise my eye brows when Arabs are involved
